The very full report of the ceremonies

pressing our great qualification that th'

a verify. and a verify of which all our ciii

most heartily in the success thus fa
achieved, and take it as an omen of some
thing greater to come when the road shal
be pushed to its ultimate and ineyitabl
connection with the system of marrow
guage roads now building through South

Sa IMITATION OF BYRON.

imitation of Byron, Mrs. Miller thus took

poems through which Joaquin expected
to win fame IN London, he was eXccs
sively Byronic,and charge the great bard
indirectly with many Of his little foiblcs.
Jotq lin had an incorrect idea of Byron,
and being such an impassoned admircr OF
him il was not strange that he did, almost
imperceptlbly TO himself, fall into an ini-
tatiun OF many of his whims. Lord Byron
said that h. did not admire learned
woman, ergo joaquin protested a horror
of literary women. He kept his literary

ask him for any Information in literature,

would tell me not to seek to know any
