Anecdotes of SWinburne.

| London Correspondent of Appleton's Journal
The London correspondent of one of our
provincial papers gives what he calls "strik-
| ing instance" Of "the eccentricities of genius
with which literary history abounds." Why
disguise matters? It refers to Mr.. Swinburne;
he is the young post alluded to. But let me
quote the anecdote. Here it is:
"One Of our younger poets, having &C.
cepted an invitation to dinner at a certain
house, arrived in due course. 1t was observed
that he was rather excited and strange in
manner, but as he is known to have a singu-
larly high-strung, nervous temperament, no
particular attention was paid to this circum-
stance. Dinner went off in the usual way
The guest of the evening was particularly
brilliant; his rapid, discursive conversation
never ceased.
After dinner, in the drawing room, he con-
scented to read some sonnets from his most
recently-published volume, and he was good
enough to expound in most eloquent and lu-
minous language of the subtler meanings of
these poems, and their connection with each
other. His audience were delighted. Here
and there, of course, there was touch of ex-
travagance in his speech, but to poet some
poetic license must be granted. Before going
he requested the lady of the house to accept
the volume, and inscribed her name in it.
All this was very we'll, but some two or
three days afterward he called upon his host
and Immediately began to pour forth whole
string of apologies He had mislaid the card
he had mistaken the night-he had had to
60 down into the country. This astonished
person now discovered that his guest of the
evening was absolutely in ignorance of his
ever having been near the house, that he had
come to apologize for having neglected the
invitation, and that he was anxious that the
lady of the hause should accept a copy, to be
sent from the publishers, of the very book
which be himself had given her"
From my kno Wedge of the author of
"Chastelard," l have not the smallest doubt
that the above story is true. Mr.. Swinburne
is one of the most nervous men-he is very
slightly built, and not more than five feet two
in height-you could possibly imagine
shall never forget seeing him at the poetic
readings given by the poet Buchanan, some
years ago, in the Hanover Square rooms |
There, in corner, his intellectual face now
wearing q scowl, now a beatic expression,
as he was pleased or displeased with his
brother-poet's elocution, did he sit twirling
his fingers and thumbs in a ludicrous, excited |
way Ere long he became the observed of |
every one. "Who is that \" whispered mer- |
camille friend to me, nodding toward him. |
"That. replied l, wishing to surprise the |
man of figures, is one of our greatest poets, |
Mr.. Swinburne" Indeed !" was the re-
ply. "Well, I've always heard that poets |
were rum lot; now I've no doubt about it !" |

A Palace of Silence.

Away upon the hill that overlooks Naples
stands the Carthusian monastery of San Mar
sino. The monks who once inhabited the
glorious palace-tor it is nothing less-were
men of noble birth and vast fortune. The
church is now one of the most magnificent in
Italy. Agate, jasper, lapis-lazuli, amethyst
Egyptian granite and fossil-wood, together
with marbles of every tint, are so blended in
mosaics that line the whole edifice, and the
carvings are so rich and graceful, that the in
teriors of some of the chapels seem like Eden
bowers trarsfxed by miracle and frozen into
stone.
And in this spot lived brotherhood who
came from the first circles of society, and
buried themselves in this gorgeous tomb, for
it was little else. The monks took VOW of
perpetual silence, lived apart, ate apart, and
met only for the unsocial hours of prayer,
when each was wrapped in his own medita-
ton, and no one uttered a syllable. Each
one of the little cells where they slept had
small window or closet communicating with
one of the corridors, and in this closet was
placed the frugal meal, which was then taken
into the cell and eaten in solitude.
Every quarter of an hour bell struck TO
remind the listeners that they were so much
nearer their death. In the gardens the rail-
ings are ornamented with marble skulls, and
the only sounds that used to disturb this
splendid solitude were the tread Of sandaled
feet, the rustic of long white robes, or the
clang of the bell that told of their solemn
lives, in brief moments, and yet might have
seemed long to them. These monks, like
most others in Italy, have been driven from
their retreat, and all their treasures confs.
Gated 5y Victor Emanuel
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-09-05

lent Of an appointment or election. the entire
Board having agreed, one with the other, that
each one should have, and have only. the
privilege of nominating one during the coming
year.
Does not each member frankly answer the
question given by each applicant: :" Will you
vote for me; wish to be appointed teacher
in the public SCHOOL," He answers: Ger
tainly will; with pleasure, provided you get
some one of the board to nominate you !"
Now, is not this kind of tattling talk and mode
of appointing teachers disingenuous, we'll
knowing that his hands, like each of
he others, are tied by agreement, as it
were, to name only one, and to that one
he is already committed? But even if he be
not committed he is none the less relieved
from completely in the mean deception. A
readiness of all that come under examination
to answer categorical questions does not
always render them the most desirable teach
ers, to obtain which ought certainly to be the
aim of the Board of Directors. If
general decentralization prevails throughout
the land, it furnishes no pretext whatever for
making innovations upon the fair, open and
free competitive system of obtaining choice
of the best teachers for our public schools.
The first action of the Board of Directors
should be the resembling Of the resolution
and other matters alluded to in the foregoing.

A BAD MAN.

Robert Moore, colored man, was locked
up in the Third Precinct Station on Saturday
morning, on the complaint of Ed Winkler.
Robert Moore did not look like a bad man;
he did not look we'll enough to be bad. He
was very thin, and there was a hungry
look in his eyes and hollows in his cheeks
which it would take considerable feeding to
fill, and there were holes in his clothes that
would take considerable sewing to patch; and
yet Ed Winkler had him locked up.
Ed Winkler is law-abiding. citizen, and
when he gets hold of a law-breaker, woe to
him /; and Ed Winkler got hold of Robert
Moore and had him locked up for stealing two
loaves Of bread.
He did not even give Moore time to eat the
bread, but he pursued him and locked him
up, and Moore will no doubt go to the Parish
Prison to wait trial on the charge of larceny.
