The new poet, Joaquin Miller, strongly +
minds one of N. Z. Willis; but in mann
and character he is most unlike that dain
poet and brilliant man ofsociety. He is sir
pie, unconventional, and apparently unspo

He seems to be man of no disguises or pr
tensions, is still, where he feels at case,
impulsive, natural and ansuspecting as
boy, yet not wanting in Keen perception
character, and certain cool, quiet shrew
ness which, il mistake not, has had a got
deal to tio in his late remarkable success in II
crature. Undoubtedly he has genius, but !
seems to lack, if not the artistic faculty, Il
habit of systematic effort and conscientiol
study. Yet he looks quite as much the

sombrero and rich fur overcoat, his jewell
and crimson neck-tie, an eye for effects

grave and introverted, and he has somethir

more like the man who has spent his be
years over the desk thaa like the hunter, q
miner, the reckless rider and fighter, Il

said to be. He seems 10 me to be IN dang
