WHILE counting the votes on last
Monday night all pctso.1s were OK
cluded from the CLERKS Office except
the worthy officials entrusted with
this duty. Two youthful politicians
who had taken an unusual interest in
the election were secretly hidden
away in the vault in order to get ear
ly information Of the result, but the
vigilance of Sam Sears, assisted by
the disappointment Of some of the
unfortunates who were excluded, and
the young statesmen were rudely
elected amidst the jcers and insults
of the outsiders. For further infor-
nation call upon Tom stsggers or

News comes that the erratic poet of
the Sierras is nearing Washington. In
anticipation of his coming, / heard two
ladies discussing him: "He is the soft
est, silliest Ounce with wOmen-tOO fool

tion for his splendid poetry, and when
was introduced to joaquin Miller, he
said, in the most affected way, The dear
little white hand, how beautifulu and
in few moments told me to put my
hand in my mufi, or he should go mad"
At dinner party or lunch to which
he was invited by a literary lady
Of Washington, the lady Of the house
told him she had made and baked the
bread herself. "Very good bread,
ma'am, but I am used to better; l can
make better myself was brought up
10 il. ! like it with a good thick crust
on the bottom; this hasn't 10; it isn't
baked on the bottom" The lady, much
confused, intimated that it was pretty
good bread for a biue-stOcking to make,
she thought. 'Oh, it's very good bread
above the average; but / could make
better"
a young lady present, tingling with
modification at his rudeness, asked him
innocently, a few moments after, "Mr.
Miller, have any Of your poems been
published ?" This question, at the time
when the whole world was filled with
talk Of Miller's "Songs of the Sierras,"
staggered the eccentric genius. He as
sured her that they had appeared in
book form, and showed his chagrin at
such a question, asked by the prettiest
girl in the room. He did not know that
she escaped, giggling, with some Of her
friends TO the other room as soon as the
lunch was over. 81 was bound / would
take him down." said the jeweled mai
den, laughing till the tears filled her
eyes at the thought of Miller's confu-
sion.
At another time he entered a lady's
parlor, aud kicked his shoes of in the
corner, and sat in his stocking feet.
30, Mr.. Miller, I want 10 introduce a
young lady TO you" "You had better
Introduce me to the young lady, If you
know anything about the rules Of p0-
/ liteness," he blurted. These are the
mere ecceBtricities Of genius-the finer
feelings Of tuneiul Chicago
