Joaquin Miller.

Olive Logan, a correspondent of the
"Sun," gives us the following about
the poet of the Sierras, who is now
taking the surf at Long Branch: :
Joaquin Miller is reading tte proofs
Of new book, and [ have culled from
it the following ripe description Of a
lovely woman. The dew is on the
roses in these lines, for no other eyes
but yours and mine have seen them !:
Her mouth Twas Egypt's mouth of old,
Pushed out and pointing full and bold,
With simple beauty where she sat.
Why, you had said, on seeing her,
This creature comes from out the dim
Far centuries-beyond the rim
Of times remotest reach or stir.
And he who wrought Semiramis
And shaped the Sibyls, seeing this.
Had bowed and made shrine thereat,
And all his life had worshipped her,
Devout as north-Nile worshipper.
Gentle subscriber, read these lines
three times; every time you read
them you will find less to admire in
them and the more carefully you
peruse them. the less you will under
stand them. If the above is the out
come-as Beecher would say-of his
European tour, Brother Joaquin might
as we'll 50 back to his Sierra and enter
into partnership with Buffalo Bill
to kill Indians. Modern civilization
docs not seem to agree with his genius.
There is probably not one in a
thousand readers who knows who
wrought Semiramis and shaped the
rs;byls; and We must candidly confess
that we are not the one, although we
have some faint idea who is alluded to;
but whoever he may be, his working
Semiramis and shaping the sibyls
does certainly nof~sepstitute him a
Judge of beauty. SemiraAis we have
always been taught to consio~ as a
portly woman, large limbed, with ili.x-
culine features, otherwise. she could
not have been success as a queen in
those barbarous times. AS to the
Sibyls, we have for years thought it a
proper question for a debating society
to discuss whether the said damsels or
the witches in Macbeth were the ug-
liest samples Of female humanity on
record. The line: "With simple beauty
where she sat- is about as strong as
double distilled water can be made,
not to say a word Of the ridiculous
idea of simple beauty when allusion is
made to Cleopatra, the capricious, art.
full, red-haired, vixen queen of Egypt.
A more frigid-afected, far-fetched
piece of rhetoric than the above ex,
tract has not met our eyes for some
time.
We hope that it is not "a fair speci,

POOR NEAGLE.
. The advertisements are. not closed.
Poor J. L. Neagle, the richest Of
the lot, comes in His beautiful
iron bridge, which spans the Congaree,
and whose daily toll should be a
fortune to any ordinary man, tails
beneath the hammer. Gen. Sherman,
on his approach to Columbia, burned
the former bridge, and Neagle pur-
chased in the days of his plenitude
the old piers and powers of the former
company. AS member of the great
Bond Ring, who had kicked the con-
version bonds of South Carolina along
the pavements of Wall street, he had
an abundance which seemed to defy
fate, and it enabled him to throw a
modern structure across those old piers,
which he intended should be unto him
and his posterity monument and a
support forever. But he borrowed
from the Bank of the State, and un-
fortunately antagonizcd the powers Of
Gov. Chamberlain. The windfall of
Parker's coupon-fnnding came in. and
by pledging the consolidated bonds
which they brought him, he delayed
the eyentful day of sale which threat
ened. But the day. for their redemp-
tion came. He was In the hands of
the Philistines, and his bonds sold for
twenty-eight cents on the dollar
Worse still; Chamberlain. as the at
torney for Receiver Pufer, closed upon
his bridge, and now the freshet which
has swept his neighbors is upon the
last hope Of the family. Is: it any
wonder that in his outrageous no.
ments he becomes defiant to law, and

These are individuals. Along with
them, however, is the city of Columbia.
This beautiful municipality, which vies
with: Versailles or Baden Baden in her
groves and quiet, classic grandeur, has
been for eight years beneath Radical
rule. The Corporation Council have
rolled up an extraordinary debit; not
withstanding that during their time
Columbia has been the common recep-
tacle into which the stolen resources
of the whole State have been lavishfy
poured. Millions upon millions Of
money, wrung by piecemeal from every
hearthstone throughout the Common
wealth, have been expended by the
thieves who have beset her, among her
merchants and tradespeople, and yet
she has exceeded her chartered limit
of Indebtedness, and has recklessly
laid her corporation property-her
water works and her parks-liable to
the sheriff's hammer. Large meet
ings Of her protesting citizens have
been called, and her wrongs have been
exposed, but the sale goes on as if the
day of general judgment and final
retribution had come.

TIL T. HOUR OF INDEPENDENCE.

Afew weeks ago the New York Epening
Post asked for information as to the
exact hour when the Declaration of In
dependence was adopted. A correspond
ent, in answer to the question, refers to
Richard Frothingham's "Rise of the Re
public of the United States. 1t appears
from this work that the Declaration was
adopted in the evening. Congress, as is
well known, began its direct consideration
of the question of independence on the
first day Of July, 1776, in Independence
Hall, in Philadelphia, by voting to re-
solve itself into a committee of the whole
to take into consideration the resolution
respecting INDEPENDENCE, and to refer
the draft of the declaration to this COM
mittee. Benjamin Harrison was called
to the chair, and a debate followed which
occupied the greater part of the day.
This debate resulted in the adoption of
the resolution. The committee hen
rose, the President resumed the chair,
and Harrison reported the decision of
the committee. The vote on the adOp-
ton Of the report was postponed until
the next morning. The next day, the
ID of July, the report was adopted, and
then Congress went at once into COM
mittee of the whole "tO consider the
draft of a Declaration OF Independence,
or the form of announcing the fact to
the world" This discussion lasted
through that day and the session of the
the Sd and 4th Of July. Frothingham's
account continues son the evening of
the 4th the committee rose, when Harri-
son reported the declaration as having
been agreedupon. 1t was then adopted"
Congress, on the 10Th of July, ordered
that the "Declaration passed on the 4th
be fairly engrossed," etc, and on the
second day of August, according to the
same authority, the instrument, having
been engrossed, was signed. The ac-
count does not fix the exact hour, but it
eliminates daylight from the problem,
making it appear that, in a certain sense,
Independence Day ls a misnomer.
