SOsst OF TIE srEnnAs-By Joaquin Mile

soNsh OF THE SIERRAs-By Joaquin Miller
Sold BY driggs, Watson Day, Davenport.
This is peculiarly an age of cant and ny
poorisy. Nearly all the prominent poets Of
America might have come over with Praise
God BarebOnes, in the Mayfower, for all
that We can Judge to the contrary from their
writings. We have been deluged with worn
out saws ground up into rhyme BY the ma
chimes of the latter day PAraassus, and no
wonder people turn With relief to the slang
Of John Hays, or the coarse pungency of
Bret Harse. We have been bored to death
with the high moral and the severe
classical, and have sighed and sighed
again for something fresh and
Misunderstanding novel, easy, and at
misunderstanding, in fact, born outside
Of orthodox and collegiate New England,
and imbued with the warmth, and feeling
and passion Of actual life. Walt Whitman
essayed to meet the requirement, but
though his sentiments are bold and com
mandatory in many respects, his language
is too gross for ears refined.
The new Laureate is Joaquin Miller. He
comes to Us from the far West, "where the
sunny foot hills run down to the North Pa
cihc Sea-" he is poet in the real sense
free, untrammelled, impulsive, courageous
of thought, and unrestrained in language
A stranger to collegesAnd drawing rooms
IMMERSED in finely elaborated metaphors
scorning pretention and artificial graces, be
breathes the strong, fresh, vivid, glorious
life of the free frontier. He be.rsys q want
of self culture, to a certain extent. All OF
his poems might be improved by the prun
ing process. They are not unfrequently
msrred by slang that could be exceedingly
well dispensed with. But nevertheless,
they are the most original and interesting OF
the day, and their author must take rank as
one of the first of American poets.
What he lacks in dc,ion is fully
atoned for in the vigor of his msginstion
and in that Undesirable something which
We must term the true poetic spirit, in the
absence of any other name for it. xxi,
Carson's Ride" is open to criticism. We
admire Walker in Nicaragua the most
of the series. Why should the daring
chevaliers of the Isthmus be forgotten when
the Indian butchers Of New England have
been immortslized Miller is the poet Of
the South and West, and his pages TEEN
with the gorgeous imagery Of these new and
and prolific regions.
OF Byron he says
I In men whom men condemn as i'll
find so much of good ness still,
In men whom men pronounce divine
find so much Of sin and blot,

battle begun with the sound Of martial
music, and the armies were led with gay
bannern. Women followed their lover,
brothers, and husbands to the fight, their
mission being to encourage and cheer them
on by their presence, to support the fall
ing, and to assist the wounded from the
field.
These battles lasted an hour or two, or
longer, the combatants often fighting with
great spirit and determination. Marshall
Sake, who, in 174S, witnessed one of these
encounters, said of it, "If two armies en-
gagged showed as much valor as the youths
of Namur, it would not be merely battle.
but butchery"
Once when the Archduke Albert of
Austria passed through Belgium, the Gov
ernor of Namur promised that he should
see . battle in which the warriors should
fight neither on foot nor on horseback,
and got up stilt-combat for his entertain
ment The Archduke was so much de-
lighted that he at once exempted the
Namurois from the payment of the tax on
beer-a privilege which they enjoy, l
think, to this day.
In conclusion we must not forget to
mention the Yankee who crossed the
rapids of Niagara on stills few years ago
after all, the most daring feat Of stilt-
walking Of which we have any account

The section Of the code referred to in
the petition has been superseded by the
new constitution, section % of article l,

OF it. contain the only exemptions from
taxation that can now be allowed.

exempt property from taxation, nor can
it remit taxes hat have been assessed.
