county arc wide awake and determined to prepare
themselves more fully to discharge their duties in
the school room. Tho good ehcot Of these meet
ings is not confined to the toaeherj the oommuni-

joaquin Miller, the suddenly risen Cali.
fornian poet, who, unknown and alone. y
grlmly hugging his manuscripts made ready
for the press, crossed the continent. posted
through New York city, set his back against
Boston and sailed for England, where in
London, at his own expense and without
the aid of publisher, he brought out an
edition OF tive hundred copies of collec-
ton OF original poems, which at once
created sensation in the great metropolis.
and won long columns of praise from the
leading London critics-this but day ago
unknown joaquin Miller is Just now talked
about and asked about here with as much
curiosity and interest as was Bret Harte a
while ago, and the recent number of the
Erening Post containing extracts from the
London reviews, and the reviews them
selves, which Immediately followed, have
been sought and eagerly read by the critics
ascertain who and what the new poet Bis.
Letters from London have a good deal to
say about him.
In some incomprehensiblew way, they state,
Miller got at once, after his arrival, into the
very midst of the ROssetti and Swinburne
clIques OF London, and thencefOrth became
lion among laerateurs He is said to he
an unadulterated American of the West. a
rough, ''unvarnished Californian, an ori-
ginal Forty-nlner and a genius. He has
lived good part of his days in Mexico and
California, and has roughed it at the mines
and led life as unlike that of poets as
one can imagine. His admirers in London
call him the Byron of America, and one of
them, Rossetti, has presented him with a
copy OF volume of Walt Whitman's
poems, inscribed something after this
fashion: 81 This volume of the works of the
best American is presented to the second
best American poet" 1t is said that Froude,
the historian, is preparing careful and eu-
!ogistic review of the new poets poems for
Fraser's. Swinburne for the Fortnightiy Re
