THE PoET BowLEs.-The canon's absence OF
mind was very great, and when his coachman drove
him into Bath he had to practice all kinds OF caution
to keep him to time aud place. The poet once LEFT
our office in company with well-known antiqnary
of our neighborhood, since deceased, and who was
as absent as Mr.. Bowles himself. The servant of
the latter came to our establishment to look for him,
and, on learning that he had gone away with the gen.
,leman to whom we have referred, the man exclam-
ed in tone of ludcrous distress, "What! those two
wandered away together then they never be found
any more % The act of composition was slow
and laborieus operation with Mr.. Bowles. He ale
tered and re-wrote his MS, until sometimes hardly
any thing remained of the original, excepting the
general conception. When we add that his hand
writing was one of the worst that ever man wrote-
insomuch that frequently he could not read that
which he had written the day before-we need notsay
that his printers had very tough work in getting his
works into type. AT The time when we printed for
Mr. Bowles, we had one compositor in our Office
This death is recorded in our paper OF to-day who
had sort of knack in making out the poets hiero-
glyhics; and he was once actually sent for BY Mr..
BowIes into Wiltshire, to copy some MS written
wear or two before, which the poet had himself vain
ly endeavored to decipher-Bath Eng Chronicle.

Is The Galphin Claim is thus explained in the
New York Observer =
The history of this claim, so far as we have been
able to gather it, is briefly this. By treaty with
Georgia, in 1918, large tract of land coded to
that colony by the Creek and Cherokee Indians, to
pay off certain dues to persons called Indian Ira
ders, of whom George Gaphin was one, Before
the provisions of the treaty had been fully carried out,
the war of the Revolution coming on, suspended all
further action in the premises. The land remained
possession of Georgia, and portion of it was APP
piled, it is said, to the payment of the Georgia Con-
tinenta soldery. The claim OF Galphin, which is
stated originally at about fl0 900, appears to have
been early bought up by certain spectators, who
demanded payment of the State of Georgia. After
prosecuting the claim there for ffty-seven years
without obtaining the least recognition of the valid
y oft, they at last brought it to Congress, and at
ter ten years sege there succeeded in getting law
passed in 1913, recognizing the claim good against
the general government. and ordering its liquidation;
under which law the interest, amounting to $685.
OOO has been paid and the holders, (who are not
hers, but speculators) are now pressing the pay
ment of the balance If the constant rejection ofthe
claim by Georgia, from first to last, or the unhesita-
ting opinion of gentlemen who profess to have thor
oughly investigated the matter may be at all relied
on, the claim Is not righteous one, and the above
of it by Congress was ill-advised and
premature. member of the Cabinet is under
stood TO have personal interest in the matter, and
1t is this circumstance which has specially called the
attention of Congress and the public to it at the pres
ent tlme 1t is now in the hands Of Congressional
committee of investigation
