fss@ LONDON WOriu
The personal appearances and dress OF
Joaquin Miller, who Is now in London. are
in.every way as remarkable as his writings.
He has fine square forehead, long, deep
set gray eyes, and an expression OF mingled
defiance and melancholy altogether very
difficult to describe. He wears his hair very
much lorger than is customary in this coun-
try. and his chestnut beard grows in pict-
uresaue iuxuriance whittier it listeth. His
manners are pse-eminently the manners OF
a child of nature, but his conversation,
though often wild aud incoherent. never
degenerates into commonplace, and is in
variably of things instead of persons. am
told that he has been constantly solicited,
while at Rome, to sit as model for pct
ures Of the Savior, and that his head has
found its way in this manner, into great
many sacred modern paintings.

Po ETRY
THE MODERN SCHOOL TEACHER.

Twas Saturday night. and a teacher sat
Alone, her task pursuing:
She averaged this and she averaged that,
Of all her class was doing.
She reckoned percentage, so many boys,
And 30 many girls all counted,
And marked all the tardy and absentees.
And to what all the absence amounted.
Names and residences wrote in full,
Over many columns and pages;
Canadian, Tentonie. African, Celt
And averaged all their ages,
The date of admission of every one,
And cases OF fagellation;
And prepared a list of the graduates
For the county examination.
Her weary head sank low on her book,
And her weary heart still lower;
For some of her pupils had little brain,
And she could not furnish more
She slept she dreamed; it seemed she died,
And her spirit went to Hades;
And they met her there with question fair,
- State what the per cent of your grade is.n
Ages had slowly rolled away,
Leaving but partial traces;
And the teachers spirit walked one day
In the old familiar places.
mound OF fossized school reports
Attracted her observation,
AS high as the State House dome, and as wide
As Boston since annexation.
She came to the spot where they buried her bones,
And the ground was well built over;
But laborers digging threw out a skull,

And, plucking the skull up. looked through the

And saw 1t was lined with figures.

Tiated Marble Statues.
Baltimore American.

A party of gentlemen assembled yester
day by special invitation in the Appraisers
office of the q. s. Public Store No. to
witness the opening of two boxes contain
ing the pedestal and statue of " Cupid
Yelled" The readers of the american are
aware that Miss Abrahams, daughter OF
woodward Abrahams, Esq, of this city,
purchased the statue at Rome while ON a
visit to the studio of Mr.. Rosetti, the emf
nent sculptor, 10 company with Mr.. Chas
companying him in his European tour.
The partial unpacking of the case and the
disclosure of the status caused sensation
of delight to those who were favored with
glance at this dainty work. of art. The
statue ia feet 6 iuches high, and whe
prepared for exhibition will stand on gray
marble pedestal, which is made to revolve
so that essry portion of the figure can be
seen to advantage. The Boy god is seated,
properly draped. and has veil over his
face. The perfect purity of the drapery
shows that the block of marble was origin
ally perfectly white, and yet by new pro-
cess Of tintng the figure seems animated
with life. The limbs show the tender flesh
color of an infant the cunning dirnple and
pinky toes are SO tempting as to create the
desire TO kiss them. The pretty face is vis-
ible through the veil, with the laughing
blue eye and the cherry red lips as if some
"bee had stung it newly" while the blonde
hair and the tree stump on which he is
seated are all true to natures coloring.
The beholder loses the idea that the object
he is gazing at il mere block of stone. and
expects to see this Cupid start into life, cast |
off the enshrouding veil, and with leyelled |
arrow prepare to do execution upon the |
hearts of his worshipers. The votaries of
high art have been in the habit of declaim- |
ing against the process of marble tintlng, |
but after viewing this specimen few will be
found to deny that it is, as the artist truly
calls it, an 6 illumination - that gives a
lifelike appearance to the inanimate.

THE ALTA FIRE.

vARNEs NOT DEAD.


SALT LAKE, Aug, 2.--A reporter of the
Tribune who has just returned from Alta
brings further particulars ofsthe great fire.
ALI that was left Of the prosperous mining
town was fifteen houses. The destruction
was an complete as it was sudden. Al
though the citizens have lost nearly every
thing they manifest a determination to re-
build at once. The losses are now estima-
ted at from $3.50, 900 to $250,0o0, with
only $13, coo insurance. The buildings of
tine Emma and other mines escaped, and
the miners supplied the ecitizens with pro-
visions enough TO meet their wants till
Supplies reached them from the city. Money
and provisions were literally offered by
Salt Lake and large quantities of the latter
were sent out this morning. Judge Varnes,
reported as burned, has since made his ap-
pearance alive and wen. The fire origina-
ted in the Swan House, occupied as
boarding house for miners, who left at
noon after cooking tkeirmeals, and the fire
caught from the stove. It is expected the
town will be entirely rebuilt before winter
in more substantial manner.
