A WRITER in the Graphic says that the true
name of joaquin Miller, the eccentric poet, is
John. He was born in Cincinnati in 1S4l, and
was in proper and civilized manner christened
John Miller by his parents. In 1s49 the father,
who was poor, was swept away with his family to
| the Rocky mountains. They were two years max
| ing the trip to the Columbia river. Miller finally
ran away from his home with "packer" to the
California gold mines. This packer was captured
and killed by the Modocs, with whom Miller
lived over five years, acquiring their language
perfectly and fighting with them in the first Modoc
| war. His Christian name John. was Mexlcanized
by the Modocs to joaquin. He is now in Canada
making study of Canadian character for literary
purposes.
ANON C the striking instances of heroism
| in woman may be mentioned that of Jane of
Belleville, widow of NJ de Cissron, who was be-
headed in the year 1913 on suspicion of carrying
on correspondence with England and the Count
de Montford. The lady, filed with grief for tho
death of her husband and exasperated at the i'll
treatment which she considered him to have re-
ceived, sent off her son secretly to England and
when her apprehensons were removed with re-
spect TO him she sold her jewels, fitted out three
ships, and put to sea to ayenge the death of her
husband upon oil the French whom she should
meet. This new corsair made several descents
upon Normandy, where she stormed many of the
once while their villages were in blaze, one of
the finest women in Europe, with sword in one
hand and torch in the other, urging the carnage
and cycling with pleasure all the horrors of war.
