EDGAR ALLAN POE.
The Poet Had Too Much Brafn-He Was
Born to Suffer.
From Harper's Magazine.

From Harpers Magazine.
Mr.. Poe was about five feet eight inches tall,
and had dark, almost black hair, which he wore
long and brushed back in student style over his
ears. II was as fine as silk. His eyes were
large and full, gray and piercing. He was
then, think, entirely clearly shaver. His
nose was long and straight and his features
finely cut. The expression about his mouth
was beautiful He was pale and had no color
His skin was of clear, beautiful olive. He had
a sad, melancholy look. He was very slender
when first knew him, but had fine figure,
an erect military carriage and a quick
step. But it was his manner that most
charmed. II was elegant. When he looked at
you it seemed as if he could read your very
thoughts. His voice was pleasant and musical,
but not deep.
He always wore black frock coat buttoned
up, with cadet or military collar, low turn
over shirt collar, and black cravat tied in a
loose knot. He did not follow the fashions, but
had style of his own His was a loose way OF
dressing. as if he didn't care. You would know
that he was very different from the ordinary
run OF young men. Affectionatei 1 should
think he was; he was passionate in his love.
Ny intimacy with Mr.. Poe isolated me a good
deal. In fact, nv girl friends were many OF
them afraid Of him, and forsook me on that NC
count. know none Of his male friends He
despised ignorant people, and didn't like trifing
and small talk. He didn't like dark-skinned
people. When he loved, he loved desperately.
Though tender and very affectionate, he had q
quick, passionate temper and was very jealous.
His feelings we're intense, and he had but little
control of them. He was not well balanced; he
had too much brain. He scoffed at everything
sacred, and never went to church. II he had
had religion to guide him, he would have been
a better man. He said often that there was q
mystery hanging over him he never could
fathom. He believed he was born to suffer, and
this embittered his whole life.

A Fortune for Berry Wall.

New York Correspondence Baltimore American.
The death of wee Willie Wall, the brother Of
Berry Wall, leaves to the famous swell fortune
that is estimated at s2O0 ,OO0 although there IL
some doubt of Berry's ability to realize at once
on his brothers legacy.
Both Of the Wall boys had fortunes. Berry
spent the greater part Of his own ON horse races
and tne raiment, and, to-day, is heavily in
debt to tailors and hsberdashers. He will End
plenty OF use for his brothers money, If be
succeeds in getting control of il.
Willie Wall was most unfortunate youg man.
He was frail, and dying by degrees from con-
SUMPTION, and yet got into frequent wrangles
with heavier men. His famous dog caused him
world OF trouble. He had been frequently
licked in fights. and had not the discretion 20
keep out Of alterations with strong and healthy
men.
About the Rossmore hotel, where be lived
most Of the time, he had the sympathies OF the
guests, but, elsewhere, his irritable nature got
him into quarreis which he was physically un-
able to bear himself out Of Thus, he was
often in trouble, financially as well ss physi-
cally.

WHEN 1T Is TOO LATE,
How Much We DO for the Dead We
Might Have Done for the Living.

From Harper's Weekly.
1t is an odd thing that no sooner has death
claimed our friends for his own than we begin
to say and do multitude Of things Of little use
at all then in comparison to that which they
might have been had they come in advance of
death. Then out Of hand we flock to the house
with offers of assistance and proffers of friend
ship; we rob our gardens and our lighthouses
and send cut flowers in profusion, and funeral
wreaths and crosses and pillows and anchors
and stars to encumbrance. and do all we can,
though late. to hide and disguise and sweeten
fate. But II we had hocked to the house while
the dead could have been aware Of IL how much
pleasure and excitement and relief from monot-
onous or lonesome hours our sick friends might
have enjoyed when all was a tiresome round of
day and night and medicine and solitude, when
bunch of flowers brought in would have
brought light to the dull eyes of Joy both over
the gift and the giver. JOY which no broken col
umns of tuberoses and ivies, costing small for
tunes, can bring to the eyes of the dead!
Even could we not have been admitted to the
sick room itself, we Gould have brought there
the murmur of the outside world by the mere
knowledge given to the patient that we were
within the gates, some break, some cheer,
some good.
Then, too, how profuse we are with our good
words after the ears are stopped with dust. We
do not hesitate then to say all that is true. or
even more than is true in praise of the de-
parted. 1t is as If we had suddenly discovered
in the sand jewel fit for kings to wear; we
make an outcry and hold it up to the light and
turn it this way and that and exclaim and mar
vel and admire and call on others TO do like
wise. There is nothing to say about this per-
son now that the place once filled IL vacant.
But if we had said q tenth Of Il all when il
might have been heard by the living person, Of
how much more worth IL had been! What ioy
and satisfaction it might have given! The SUBJ
80 <al s<xht hax- Hal TIA A.
leave life with such appreciation. But il was
not spoken, and life went on without IL; and
now we regret it, and do the same thing over
with the next friend.

Lincoln's Disinterestedness.

FROM the century.
One cannot but be impressed anew by the
fact that one Of the most effective equipments
Of Lincoln for the performance Of difficult du-
ties was quality which he shared with Wash-
ington, and which each possessed to conspic-
nous degree-the simple but tremendously
powerful quality Of disinterestedness. It was
tact, l. e., intelligence added to kindliness,
which helped make Washington . succe ssfui
leader; it was tact which helped Lincoln to
steer his administration not only through the
perils OF war but between the rocks Of selfish.

Excitement In the Copper Market.
ACTIVITY ON THE NEW YORK METAL EXCHANGE

ACTIVITY ON THE NEW YORK METAL. EXCHANGE
NEW YORK, Mar. For the first time in
over six months copper commanded more than
ordinary attention on the metal exchange to-
day. In the face of lower cables from London
the foreign market declined from ga pounds spot,
yesterday's closing, to 81 pounds on the early
call. The bidding for the metal here was spir-
tied, and during the first call l37, 900 pounds of
March, April, May, June and July
$3.50 to s15.75. The recognized Amer
lean representatives Of the syndicate
were early on the floor and watched the re-
newed interest in copper speculation with evil
dent satisfaction. During the Gail frivolous
bids Of and cents per pound for good mer-
charitable copper we're freely put by some Of the
bear operators and recognizedby the secretary.
President Thompson, Of the Oxford copper
company, objected to these fictitious prices
and reminded the secretary that the board Of
managers had recently prohibited the official
recognition Of frivolous bids. The secretary
declined to decide the question, and put it to a
vote among the members. It resulted in all
bids being received and another bid
Of 9 cents for April delivery was quickly
knocked out by fifteen cent bid from Mr..
Thompson, who corrslled $4,000 pounds at
those figures. The latter gentleman. vexed at
the repetition Of single-fgure bids, offered to
take 100000 pounds Of spot at ten cents.
This temporarily suspended the attempt to de-
press the market.
At Is cents %, 600 pounds Of April were taken.
The same quantity of May was sold at 14S5.
June brought IA cents and July 1880.
