Joouin MilIera Bore.

Quite another sort of person was fit
ting about here the other day, and may
be still, for aughtI know. The person
was Joaquin Miller, the bard of the Sier-
ras, rs he had been dubbed. Miller is
poet, unqucstionably, and probably pos
sessed of common sense, if he saw tit to
use it. The trouble with him is he Is
consumed by passion for notoriety,. and
is necessarily striving to. make himseil
talked about. The consequence is he Is
forever trying to appear odd, and arrest
attention. which renders him supreme
bore. He is so full Of affections and tells
so many stories that nobody car tell when
he is genuine or truthful. His chief de-
sire is to be esteemed pure genius,
which he is far from being.
One of his assumptions is that he has
never read any thing to speak OF, ana
We, every one of his compositions shows
that he has been saturated with Byron
Tennyson, Browning and other poets.
Frequently he does little more than echo
them.
Another assumption Is that he was
with William Walker in Nicaragua.
Those who ought to know, and have the
means of knowing, say that he never saw
the "cray-eyed man of destiny"
He is very fond of calling himself an
Indian, too, and OF telling of his wife
with the Modocs He may have been
with them, but there are many VINO
doubt it. 1t is fair to question any OF
his statements, SO much must be allowed
for them.
All his long hair, red shirt, and trous-
ers-in-boots performances in England
were deliberately adopted as meansi OF
self-advertising. He Is very Snowman
in this regard. He now dresses like
other civilized men, for he has found that
such transparent .omfoolery don't 'psy
in this country. Still, he plays at all
sorts OF oddities in society, and wherever
he goes causing sensible persons to avoid
him, The motive of his countless anec'
tions is to convey the impression that he
is a wild, undisciplined fellow, opposed
To forms and conventionslitics.
Good.natured, kind hearted, and well
endowed he seems TO be, and 1t is strange
tina. he has not intelligence enough 70
Law aside his shallow trisks and be him.
self. The dullest of his acquaintance
found him out long ago. He ought TO
have learned by this time that he Is not
necessary for man setting up to DO a
poet to act like fool.-Saratogo Letter.

II was all very we'll for the Repub-
licsn party in National convention as
sembled to renew to the outgoing Ne
publican President the expression OF lis
gratitude for his proves and strategy IN
the war. Among professional soldiers
there are two opinions about Gen. Grants
merits As military man; probably there
always will be. But nothing succeeds
like success. The fact Is that he sccom-
plished Whist his predecessors in COM
msnd hsd failed to accomplish, that he
took Richmond ond forced Lee tol the
wall. and brought the civil war 70 q
close, assures his place in the grateful re-
memberance Of the American people, .as
i. assures his place in history.
But when the Cincinnati convention
went ON TO speak of Gen. Grants ann
mense services" in pesce, it committed a
colossal political blunder. While there
are two opinions about Gen. Gran ssirats-
gy. there is really but one opinion about
President Grants administration. Every
record that "leaps TO light" goes to con.
firm this opinion. As = politician, he is
the most egregious failure OF the century.

PRAxITELES AND PHRYNE

A thousand silent years ago,
The starlight faint and pale,
Was dra wing on the sunset glow
Its soft and shadowy veil.
When from his work the sculptor stayed
His hand, and turned TO one
Who stood beside him, half in shade,
Said, with sigh, /" It's DONE"
"Phryne, thy human lips shall pale,
Thy rounded limbs decay,
No love nor prayers can:aught avail
To bid thy beauty stay;
"But there thy smile:for centuries
On marble lips shall!live-
For Art can grant what Love denies,
And fix the fugitive.
"Sad thought nor age nor death shall fade
The youth of this cold bust,
When the quick brain and hand that maze
Aud thou, and /, are dust!
"When all our hopes and fears are dead,
And both our hearts are cold,
And love Is like tune that's played,
And life tale that's told.
"This counterfeit ofsenseless stone,
That no sweet flush can warm,
That same enchanting look shall own
The same enchanting form.
"And there upon the sill ent face
Shall unborn ages see
Perennial youth, perennial grace,
And sealed serenity.
Shall say, not quite unmoved:
so smiled upon PraXiteles
". W. Story.

But Survives.

but survives.
PHILADELPHIA, August IA, &c.
Editors Register.
Whoever visits Niagara Falls think
they must immortalize themselves by
giving the public pen picture OF them,
and in every instance the picture is
greatly inferior to the reality, and Just
SO with those who attempt to describe
the beauties of the Centennial. We
would advise all scribblers to stay at
home or desist from descriptive COM
munications while here. Every per-
son you meet upon the groung is armed
with a pencil and book noting every
thing down so that they can the better
foist their wild j argon upon those who
cannot attend. We were standing be-
fore the petrifed remains OF mastadon
the other day, when upon glancing to
the right we found this description in
lady's note book "The wonder of the
world, the remains of a giant Hyena
used BY the Turks instead OF horses, and
of the genus homo. He feasts upon the
heritage of tropical Russia and is as
docle as dog. This is the one that DR.:
Livingston rode on his travels in Atrica."
This is the general style of note sketch
ing, and from such notes who would ex-
pect much of communication.
WEST VIRGINIA
First called me to her friendly roof and
sure enough we found the "Latch string
out" and right proud did we feel as we
compared her achievements with those OF
holder and wcalther states. Her miner
ais are of superior quality and her coal
takes the cap off of everything we have
vet seen here. The samples of our native
woods, although not so large as from
other sections, 90 far toward making our
display. The display of West Virginia
woods is good and we arc inclined to
think G. H. Beal, of Brook and }. N.
Bell of Ohio have the finest samples OF
wool, and after them comes John In.
gram of Poplar Springs.
All SIN
and his Chinese pig-tailed, Acknowledged,
sandal-shanked creatures are as numer'
Gus and: disgusting as SO many ISLANDER
ed" dogs of oriental climes. The opium
loving Turk is here, with his far.iamcd
pipes and tobacco. France, with her
innumerable bottles of wine and brandy,
is here in vast numbers; while Italy
charms the ear with oriental strains and
the eve with ancient works by the old
masters. The Briton Is here, with his
Boosting, and the German with his power.
We have seen much. \ s, too much to
attempt to write letter, and we expect
against this time next week to be mt
subject for Diymont or Weston. We
have come far and gazed upon enough
to PROSTATE the strongest mind OF all
time, but still we survive and flourish
upon Twelfth street, near Wood.
