LoSGPELLow AT HoME.-The poet Long
fellow arrived at New York, from Europe,
on the steamer China, on Tuesday evening,
and quietly proceeded with his family to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel without any demonstra-
tion being made, or even his presence in the
city being known. The New York Evening
Nail thus speaks Of the occurrence
Last evening couple of carriages brought
from the steamer China to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel little party of nine Americans, who
took their rooms at the hotel so quietly and
SO unobserved that few of the guests knew
who the newcomers were. None OF the
morning papers, even except the Tribune,
seem to have been aware that this unobtru-
slVe and unheralded party Is the same whose
arrival aud departure from the various Euro
pean places OF note has been the signal for
distinguished demonstrations and elaborate
newspaper notices.
II Is thus, undoubtedly, that Mr.. Lopgfel-
low desires to return TO his Countrymen.
after having enjoyed abroad series OF
honors from men themselves honored, such
as have been bestowed there on no other
private literary man In recent times. He
needs no new evidences of the esteem in
which his countrymen hold him as man,
nor Of the admiration, deepened as the
years roll on, In which they hold him as a
poet May he, and the still fresh and Wig
orous patriarch OF our poetry-Wm. Cullen |
Bryant-long be spared to enjoy the heart
and braln-homage Of America, and to re- |
ceiye, for America, the homage Of the Old |
World.
