A more amazing combination of great
ability, eccentricity, vanity and other fall
ings can scarce be found than is developed
in Cincinnatus Hiner Miller, better known
as Joaquin Miller. AS a writer few excel in
the quaintness of conception, brilliancy of
imagination and fluency of diction. Both in
prose and verse he displays an original style
which is exceedingly pleasing. The stories
of his eccentricity are often Incredible Long
after he had acquired fame and fortune he
cultivated tramp-Iike appearance, his red
shirt, long hair and unpublished cowhide boots
being a source of much annoyance to his adj
mirers. The recent cutting of his hair and
beard has been announced, and we present
his portrait as he now looks. He married
Miss Minnie Theresa Dyer, western poetess,
in 1868, but they were divorced in 1870. He
is at present married to lady of the Leland
family, of hotel fame, al has a most beau
tiful daughter. Home hle has little attrac-
ton for him, as he has constructed a log
cabin on the heights, near Washington, and
lives there alone.

A quiet, reserved gentleman of 70 years is
the admiral of the United States navy. His
eyes are still bright, h. voice is soft and en-
tirely destitute of the husky, foggy charac-
ter popularity supposed to attach to jolly old
sea dogs. His face is bronzed and his hands
large and knotty, but soft in texture. To
relieve the monotony of the not over-haz-
ardous duties of a present naval commander,
the admiral has written a society novel,
which will shortly be published 1t will be
but another illustration of his versatility, he
having already achieved u reputation as q
brave naval officer, a historian, an inventor,
an authority on projectiles, armament and
explosives, the designer of an ingenious and
formidable submarine torpedo boat, be-
sides being somewhat of politician. Ad-
miraI Porter is the son of Commodore Por-
ter, was horn in Philadelphia, served in the
war with Mexico and the war of the rebel

A serenade I'm Days OF Old.
rpob Rurdafta I

In days of old, when knights were bold
and stole for living, serenade was
romantic little open air concert, at which
q gentleman dressed up like fire proof
safe twankled a long necked guitar under
the windows of his love and told her all
about it in eight lines and chorus. 1t
was very pretty, romantic, poetic sort of
thing, although its starlit beauty was
liable to be married now and then by the
entrance of a burglar with lance or bat
tie ak, with which he picked the lock of
the fre-proof roasting and perforated a
large hole in the person of the love lorn
knight, and married the girl himself. In
either case the young lady was married
and so didn't have to waste her wedding
toggery.

AZ PARIS, IN THE LOUVRE.

Across the mellow, purple gloom
That time has bathed the canvas in,
I see face of girlish bloom
And wonder what its fate has been.
There rests a shadow In the eyes
That seems to speak of early death.
Upon the mouth pathos lies
Where sorrow breathed its frigid breath
2he chin is softly moulded, and
The throat is rounded like a swans.
The face and the uplifted hand
Are tinted like Italian dawns.
And thrice hundred years have fed
To touch this picture with their rust.
An n1em'ry Of the girl is dead;
The hand that painted her is dust.

Mr.. W. w. Corcoran, who founded tbs
gallery of art at Washington, is nearly
eighty-five years old, but he walks with g
firm step and his eyes are as bright as when
he was President Folks financial agent at
the time of the Mexican war. Mr.. Cor
coran's father was, you know, a cobbler in
Georgetown, but in time shoemaking pros
pered with him and he became mayor of the
place, and his son, William w. Corcoran,
married the daughter of Commodore Nor
ris, of the navy. Mr.. Corcoran, the million
aire, made his first big stroke, as far as
money is concerned, in supplying the United
States with funds to fight the Mexican war.
Since then he has been one Of the rich men
Of Washington, and he counts his money
now, it is said, by tens of millions. He
owns property all over Washington, Is the
proprietor Of the immense Corcoran build
ing just opposite the treasury, and is the
owner of the Arlington hotel. He has a
fine mansion just opposite the White house
and within stones throw of the Corcoran
Art gallery. He has given away, it is said,
not less than three million dollars in public
benefactions and one million dollars in
private charity.

BARTHOLDI.

We shall hear great deal about
Bartholdi's statue of Liberty En-

that in the enthusiasm about his work
the artist himself may be forgotten
NJ. Bartholdi has had in his mind
the idea which eliminated in the exc
cution of this statue and lis shipment
TO America for over twenty wears.
The suggestion was received from a
conversation At the residence of NJ
Laboulaye, at Glavigny, near Yer
sailles. The company were discuss
ing the relations between France and
Italy. Ii WAS agreed that France
could not rely on the gratitude Of
Italy, and, in fact. that of anv other
country save the United States of
America.
The conversation made deep i'm
preston on Bartholdi's mind, and in
1870 he was brought nearer America
by being brought in contact with
Americans who were engaged in de-
liyering arms and munitions of war
to France during the closing months
OF the France-GcrIuan war
After the war was over VI. Barthol-
iii sailed for the United States. and
when he entered the harbor of New
York the pan he had long entertain
ed ot erecting 4 monument commem-

and America took definite shape. He
had found the place for his statue.
