JOAQUIN MILLER A BoRE.

Quite another sort of person was
fitting about here the other day, and
may be still, for aught know. The
person was Joaquin Miller, the bard of
the Sierras, as he has been dubbed
Miller is poet, unquestionably, and
probably possessed of common sense, if
he was fit to use it. The trouble with
him is he is consumed by a passion for
notoriety, and is necessarily striving to
make himself talked about. The con-
sequence is he is forever trying to ap-
pear odd. and arrest attention, which
renders him a supreme bore He is SO
| full of affectations and tells so many
stories, that nobody can tell when he is
genuine or truthful. His chief desire
is to be esteemed pure genius, which
he is far from being. One of his
assumptions is that he has never read
anything to speak of, and yet every one
of his compositions shows that he has
been saturated with Byron, Tennyson,
Browning and other poets. Frequent
ly he does little more than echo them.
Another assumption is that he was
with William Walker in Nicaragua
They who ought to know, and have the
means of knowing, say that he never
saw the gray-eyed man OF destiny
He is very fond of calling himself an
Indian, too. and of telling Of his life
with the Modocs. He may have been
with them, but there are many who
doubt 1t. 1t is fair to question any Of
his statements, so much must be allowed
for them. All his long hair, red shirt
and trousers>in>boots performance in
England was deliberately adopted as
means of selt-adyertising. He is a
very Snowman in this regard. He
now dresses like other civilized men,
for he has found that such transparent
tomfoolery dosn't pay in this country.
Still, he plays at all sorts of oddities ia
society, and wherever he goes, causing
sensible persons to avoid him. The
motive of his countless affections is to
convey the impression that he is a wild
undisoiplined fellow, opposed to forms
and conventionalities.
Good kind hearted and
well-enlowed he seems to be, and it is
strange that he has not intelligence
enough to lay aside his shallow tricks
and be himself The dullest of his &C
quaintances found HIM out long ago

PROFITS Of hutton Sheep.

a correspondent of the Proeticul
TURNER, residing within twenty five
miles OF Philadelphia. states that one
OF his certain and reliable sources Of
proht from year to year is keeping
sheep. When | first began farming,
twenty years ago, he writes, depended
entirely upon Southdowns. They have
always proved with me prolific breeders,
capital nurses, hardy and good feeders,
and my Sonthdown mutton ranks 10 The
market with gilt edge" butter.
inform my regular customers when am
going to have fine leg OF loin of pure
Southdown, and they go off fast at
three to five cents above the market
price. In fact Southdown mutton is
the best mutton in the world.
If quality of meat was the only
desideratum would make no change,
but as coarser woods now bring the
highest price, and as perhaps ] gain a
little in the weight Of which ! am not
altogether certain (bUt at least do not
lose any, I have made one cross on ny
flock of one hundred ewes with tie
Cotswold. The best result and the
finest carcass have resulted where the
Southdown buck was used on the
Cotswold eve. I do not want any
finer sheep than this makes, and try
to keep them for my purpose one half
Southdown and one-half Cotswold.
What lambs have to spare are all sold
in advance to your butchers at about
eight dollars per head. raise roots,
which consider Indispensable in the
sheep business, and with good manages

March and April. I consider the roots
make good substitute for grass, keep
them in good heart aud with fine health
for early pasture. I have always fol-
lowed the advice in your paper to keep
all my animals healthy and thriving. If
they once go down or become stunted,
much of ones feed is thrown away.
Two-thirds Of my ewes usually have
twins. With lambs at eight TO nine
dollars each, and wool at fifty cents per
pound your readers can figure up my
profits OF one hundred ewes.

The Kidnapping Of Washington st Newburgh

1t was while at these headquarters a
bold attempt was made to capture
Washington. Clinton was very anxious
to get possession of his person, and
Washington received many letters warn
ing him of his danger. But with all
the plans that were laid, none SCENE d
so easy of execution as the one that
was foiled here by the patriotism of a
young lady, the daughter of one
E.trick, who protested to be warm
patriot, but those who knew him best
looked ON him with suspicion. This
man and this spot were selected to
effect Washington's capture. The plan
proposed was to have boat ready, and
a party of Tories secretea in the wood
near by, when Washington should lie
invited to dinner. His daughter over
heard conversation that exposed this
plot, and informed Washington of her
suspicious, and begged of him not to
accept the invitation Of her father 10
dinner. The dinner hour was to be
late, so that it would be dark before the
meal was over Then the seizure was
to be effected, and the captive borne off
to the bosom of the Hudson. The boat
manned by strong rowers, would easily
have reached the English vessels below
West Point before Washington would
be missed. Instead of declining the
invitation, he accepted it, but in the
meantime ordered detachment of his
lite guard TO march to his place just at
evening, and present themselves at the
door. While Ettrick was engaged in
conversation with bis distinguished
guest. he heard their footsteps, and the
low command of their leader, and,
supposing them to be the detachment
of Tories, he rose, and, laying his
hand on Washingtons shoulder, said +:
81 believe, General, you are my pris-
oner."
81 believe not, sir; you are mine,
was the reply. as the life guard closed
around him.
He was immediately marched off and
locked up. This threw the daughter
into paroxysm of grief. She had not
anticipated such a result. She had
given no positive information-si simply
told her suspicious TO Washington,
thinking the only result would be 10
make him decline the invitation. That
he would make her kindness to him th,
cause of punishment to her father she
did not for moment dream, and sh,
besoucht him not 10 repay her fidelity
TO him by the imprisonment and death
Of her father. If it had been a mere
personal matter, Washington would
doubtless have suffered the man to go
unmolested but the blow was not
aimed at him, but at his country, and
his he would not have forgiven IN an

After the blue sleeps lift their crests
Soft in the sunsets glow;
Nearer, through aspens' quivering leaves
The evening wind laughs low.
Across the hills the fields close shorn,
Where late the grain sheaves stood.
And twilight hangs its Hurrii4g tlnts
Upon the distant wood.
The creeping vines about my door
Spread out their leaflets fair,
And morning wakes the slnmbering buds
With kisses warm and rare.
A quiet stir OF passing feet,
The ring OF childish gIee.-
And mingling voices Use and fall
In many varied key.
So, framed against "a summer sky"
My living picture stands,

Ne'er limned by human hands.

The wedding Ring.
tRichmond Enuuirer.l


A curious question was involved in q
case tried at the Springfield (New York;
County Court, namely, tho control OF a
wife over her wedding ring. The cir
c,1mstances were as follows: The wife,
shortly before her death, gave her we'd
ding ring to her mother, at whose house
she died. The husband claimed the
value of it as set-off against a claim
brought against him for his wife's
board and lodging. The judge decided
that wedding ring comes under class
OF articles which the wife has separately
and Independently Of her husband, and
which she has power to keep, but not to
give away or leave from her husband.
On tho contrary, the husband has
power to give them away even during
her life. In this case the wife had no
power to give away her ring, and the
Judgment must be accordingly. This
may be law, but it seems hard that the
wishes Of the deceased woman with re-
gard to her ring should not be respect
ed. Had the husband claimed the we'd
ding ring as matter of sentiment, legal
proceedings to recover it would be in
telligible, but to demand it as set
off against claim for board and lOdg-
ing is sad desecration Of what was re
garded in less pawnbroking ages as 6
symbol Of confidence and eternity.
