HOW A POEM WAS SOLD.
Sam. Wards Story Of LOngfelIOw's
skeleton in Arm0r."

North American Review for May.
After breakfast he told me that he
had recently written a poem which
smiled to him, but which his habitual
counsellors and companions-who,
presume, were Charles Summer, C. d.
FELTON, and George S. Hillard-had
frowned upon as beneath the plane of
his previous lyrical performances. He
then proceeded to read me the "Skele-
ton in Armor,' which so stirred my
blood that / took the manuscript from
his hands and read it to him, with more
dramatic force than his modesty had
permitted him to display. This may
have been presumptuOus on my part,
but l remember, when 1 came to the
crescendo:
"As with wings aslant,
Sails the fierce cormorant,
Seeking some rocky haunt
With his prey laden;
So toward the open main,
Beating to sea again
InrOugn The Wild hurricane,
Bore the maiden"
he sprang to his feet and embraced me.
The doubling Thomases were at a dis
count that morning. This poem reveal
ed to me his methods of work. After
the emotions of mutual satisfaction had
subsided, he told me that he had carried
the scheme in his head ever since the
previous summer, when, after having
visited, with b cavalcade of my broth
ers and sistefs-among whom the pres
ent Mrs. Julia Ward Howe-the skele-
ton in armor, dug up at Taunton-since
then burned TO the ground-he chal-
lenged my sister. in their home gallop
over the Newport beaches, to make a po-
EN- out of the rusty hauberk and grim
bones that they had been inspecting.
THAT" said he, "was nearly a year ago,
and the poem only flashed upon me last
week" 1t will be remembered that the
closing scene is laid
I'm that tower
Which to this very hour
Is looking seaward."
l proposed to take the manuscript to
New York and sell it for not less than
$50. On my return thither my first WIS.,
it was to poet Halleck, at his desk in
the dingy counting-house of the prime
val John Jacob AstOr, in Prince street.
We had otter. talked about Longfellow,
aud Halleck felt and displayed lively
appreciation of his genius, which he de-
MED to tine English laureate, whom We
all yenerate. The old poet was delighted
with this new effusion of his younger ly-
rical brother, and knowing the value of
his opinion in the eyes of our literati,
asked him to express his admiration in
few brief words at the foot of the
manuscript. If remember rightly, the
inscription ran, II unhesitatingly pro-
nounce the above to be. in my opinion,
Prof. Lonfeil ,w's finest effort" This
was duly signed, and rushed down to
Gaylord Clssaar of the Knickerbecker
Magazine, who stood aghast when / an.
nounced the price of this poem. he
having only paid $25 for its prade-
cessors. The intrinsic beauty of the ly-
ric, which by this time l had learned to
read with tolerable effect, overcame the
reluctance to which his poverty, not his
will, consented, and had pride and
pleasure in remitting the $50 to Cam
bridge that evening.

oner to-day at police headquarters, on the

name of Anthony White, of Greenvllle,
South Carolina, and cashed his check for
Sl5l, Howard ii. Stewart, of 81 Wall
street, also cashed $3.50 for Moses, who rep
resented himself to be General Curtis,

They declared that they would kill

Last night a mass meeting was
held here, Governor futile presid-

a force of volunteers to take the
field for two or three months.
Later news is to the effect that the
whole force of about 800 Indians,
including women and children,

night, going south, near Lordsburg.
The present outbreak is the most
disasterous which has ever occurred
in Arizona. Not less than forty
persons have been killed.
