The brief mention of LongfeoW> death in
the Maine papers is somewhat surprising. Very
few have made it the subject of editorial COM
ment. and yet the newspapers of the world, in
Guiding all the London dailics. have devoted
leading editorials to the dead poet. Maine has
produced many distinguished men and women.
but none who have won Il wider OF more endul'-

his native State should not have been outlome
by strangers iii paying tribute to his memory.
