A Bright Female Poet.

Boston girl whose verses were always
declined with thanks" hit upon unique
scheme for having them published She
would send line or a verse from one of
her poems to the query column of some
paper and ask from what poem such line
came, the name of the poem and that of
the author. A friend, also a rhymester,
would send the querist's own poem to the
paper with the desired informa ton, and of
course it would appear in print. The quer-
rist would do the same for her "friend, +" and
so on, until between them they had most
of their effusions printed.-New York Tri-

Col. JoHNsToN's READINGs.-An apprecia-
tive audience listened with delight, on We'd
nesday evening, in the Masonic Temple, Bel
Air, to readings by Col. Richard Malcolm John
ston, of Baltimore, formerly of Georgia. Col.
Johnston's Dukesborough Tales and other stor-
les, which have appeared, from time to time, in
the magazines, have won for him an enviable
reputation as a humorous writer. His peculiar
field is the reproduction of Georgia rural life
half a century ago, before railroads, telegraphs
and newspapers mingled the people of that
State into a homogeneous mass. He read the
rugged love experience of Absalom Billingslea,
who began "co'tin' a young woman in early
life but was so slow that she was twice a widow
before he won her, and then 1t was ga axedent."
The entertainment closed with the reproduc-
ton of fight between good old Baptist par
son and bully, in which the latter was physi-
cally and spiritually vanquished. These were
both scenes from Col. Johnston's published
stories and were read by him in an inimitable
manner. The dialect peculiar to middle Geor-
gia before the war was reproduced and added
not little to the delicate humor and pathos of
