JOAQUIN MILLER.

The following Is from a late number
of the Buffalo Express. which takes
great and intelligent interest In mat
tiers belonging to the Pacific coast:
Joaquin Miller has gone to Europe.
The lectures and comments on him oy
his late wife, and their reported publl-
cation In the newspapers, are said to
have driven him to leave the country.
His friends declare she Is we'll aware
of his extreme sensitlveness, and that
she has taken her present course mainly
to annoy aud torture him. They add
that many of her stories are false ; that
he has given her twice the alimony al
lowed her by the Courts; that he pro-
vides generously for their children ;
that she married him, carrying him
imuch her junior by storm. and was
the first to want and insist on procIr-
ing n divorce. Miller never mentions
his domestic troubles, except to his In
Inmates, but to them he deplores tho
past, Is distressed by the present, and
sorely depressed by the prospects OF
the future. He Is admitted by his
friends to have numerous ALLEGATIONS,
to be often inaccurate in statement,
and whimsical to an unpleasant de-
gree, but they say that, emitting those
eccentriclties, he Is = gentle, generous,
chivalrous fellow, full Of humanity,
tenderness and lofty aspirations.
