JOAQUIN MILLER.

That type-setting on a newspaper is a practical method of education, and very efficient method, is evinced by the number of printers who have become noted as writers, often of the highest class. Aside from the prominent journalists who have been graduated at the case are various authors of renown in distinct fields of let ters.
 Joaquin Miller, who is fond of telling romantic stories of himself, probably as an imaginative exercise, says that he got his first idea of writing while setting type in California, at Is years of age. He is of the opinion that he would never have at tempted anything in literature but for that experience. There is reason to be- lieve this statement, for the same eft ct has often been produced on the minds of very young men By those same means. After he had returned to Oregon, where he had been taken as 8 small boy from Indi- ana, he frequently set articles while editing The Democratic Register at Eugene City, suppressed for disloyalty during the civil war. He has had a varied career, though not half so varied as he pretends, and he declares that the type setting days of his youth on the Pacific coast were the hap sumptions is that he is ignorant of orthog-
 
 CTS, almost without exception, learn to spell. His great object has been from the outset to create the impression that he is wholly an untutored genius, and he has actually succeeded in imposing this notion on some intelligent persons. His Actions generally, however, are too transparent to be harmful. They may be his form of ec- centric humor. Notwithstanding his grave defects, artistic and ethical, he is poet, and his theory of poetry appears to be that he should practice rigid economy in the use of truth. If it be so he carries out his theory most faithfully and zealously. It is odd that he does not relinquish his foolery when he is so very near 50; but they who know him we'll say that 1t in- creases with his years. His constant study is to seem peculiar, which he is not by any means. He is, on the contrary, shrewd, prac! ical, self-seeking, and his abiding af- fectation or peculiarity makes him un- pleasant as companion and impossible as friend.
