JOAQUIN Miller,s New Poem.

The new poem by the "Poet of the
Sierras" contains between 1900 and
1000 lines, and not 10000, as has been
stated. A San Francisco correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, who has been
perusiug the new production, is enthu-
siastic in its praise. He writes :
cit is due the poet that it should be
known that the price received for the
poem from Mr.. Germany, the editor and
publisher of the Overland Monthly, is the
largest one paid in the United States, if
not in the world, for a poem of that
length and, at the same time, 1 must
say that l think it cheap for the money,
both in a literary and pecuniary sense.
] have read the finished portion of the
poem, and must candidly lay that it
surprised and delighted me beyond
measure. 1t cannot but add immensely
to his fame, and tade high rank among
the poetical works of American authors.
The language is chaste and beautiful ;
the plot original, artistic, and poetical (;
and the v~ersification, unlike that of
most of his other efforts, perfect"

The Geneva Arbitration.

GENEVA, July 16.-The Board of Arbi-
tration met to-day. A large quantity of
printed matter was submitted to the Board
and exchanged by the agents of Great
Britain. and the United States. Nc other
business was done, the court a~djourning
after a session of less han thirty minutes
duration.
GENEVA, July 1.-THE Board assembled
to-day an hour earlier than usual. The
proceedings are somewhat delayed in conse-
quence of the difference of languages spoken
by the members of he court, which rem
ders it a tedious transaction, and explana-
tons are necessary. But all the Prelimina-
ries have been settled, and the Board has
finally decided to take up the case of each
ship Seridtin.
GENEVA, July 1S.-The British agent to-
day presented a demurrer, praying that the
Tribunal exclude the cases of the Tallahas-
see, Chickamauga, Sumter, Nashville, Retri-
button, Boston, Sallie, Jef. Davis, V. H.
joy, and Music. A summary of the Ameri-
can argument, and a statement in the case
of the Florida, were presented to-day.
GENEVA, July 19.-To-day's session lasted
from 1 until i O'Clock. ALI the members of
the Board were present. The English and
American counsel were engaged the greater
part of the day yesterday, and until a late
hour last night, in preparing their plead
ings. 1t is supposed that the discussion to-
day was devoted to the question of the re-
sponsibility of England, which Lord Ten
terden denies. The court adjourned until
Monday. Great precautions have been
taken to secure secrecy in the proceedings
of the Board.
GENEVA, July 20.-Gentlemen contested
with the Board of Arbitration still preserve
the most profound secrecy on the subject of
its proceedings. The counsel of the Gov
ernments of Great Britain and the United
States refuse to answer any communications
on questions pending, in order to prevent
the interference of newspapers and the
possibility of their exercising an infue ce
on the minds of the Arbitrators. Hereafter
the Board will hold five sessions per week,
sitting every day except Saturdays and
Sundays.

DURING a berry hunt at Danbury, Ct,
Monday, a New York visitor came on a
cluster of strawberry vines, and went
through them in search of a remnant of
the delicious fruit. He didn't find it,
but when he awoke the next morning
it was only with n eye, the other
being engaged in holding the cheek
which had marched over it during the
night. They didn't find his mouth
until near noon, when it was discovered
just back of his LETT ear enjoying the
shade. The strawberry plants must
have been mercury vines, the doctors
say.
