dence that Il made any lasting impression upon
him and, in fact all the evidence was the other
xvay IL did not even delay the publication oil
the volume he was preparing at the time; ana
certainly il gave an added vogue TO that volume
when il appeared. Poor Keats died of consump-
ton. and nothing could have prevented that con-
clusion. The faint was in his blood and he was
doomed by predestnation. After all he had his
career. and he left an enduring monument behind
him. His genius might have scared higher;
might have attached itself, one is apt to think al
times 10 less artificial and distracted subjects
but at all events this genius is present In nearly
everything he wrote, and its marks are no less ap
parent in his prose than in his verse.
In this volume Keats and his friends appear
with homely distnctness The reader Is mauc
familiar with many men Of letters and artists
journalists and reviewers, poets and scholarsTSome
whom we should like TO see much of, as, LOT
instance the Lambs. appear but fittingly. Duu
there is Hayden the painter, aud Leigh Hunt ana
Hazlitt, and Charles Wentworth Dixie, ana Words
worth, and John Hamilton Reynolds and Charles
Cowden Clarke, and divers others of moro or less
note, among the company, and Keats holds hlgh
discourse with some and whimsical discourse with
others. and charming Discourse with all. Ills
letters are always interesting, full Of variety,
brave and cheerful with the exceptions noted
above) The correspondence is classic, and Mr..
Colvin has done well in making so authentic and
iudicious a collection, which certainly ought TO
become standard.

WHITMAN'S FAREWELL.
A MELANCHOLY BOOK.

GOODBYE, MY FANCY. An Annex to Leaves a., OF
Grass. BY Walt Whitman. svo, Pr. &C. Phila-
delpha: David Mckay.
A dreadful Photograph resembling nothing so much

ultimate publication by Walt Whitman. According to
the practice of his later years the volume Is written
partly in prose and partly in Walt whitmans peculiar
idea Of poetry. There IS melancholy flavor about
the whole of it, though the old man tries very hard 10
be cheerful More than once, however, he refers 10
the worlds refusal to recognize him rs poet. All
the great magazines he declares, have declined 10 PRINT
his lucubrations. and apparently the general puDlc
have not fatgued his publisher with orders for his
books. The sOcaled poetry In this volume is hatu
rally Of vaedictOry character 10 considerable extent
and though II is not less prosac and unmclodous than
the writer's earlier productions The circumstances
under which il written impart certain suggestion
Of pathos to it, Walt Whitman does not indeed face
the Unknown with apprelcnsions and misglvlngs II
he does not appear TO cherish Christian hopes and ex
pectafions rs Pantbels has not prevented him from
maintaining belief in another existence and an exist
ence not less adapted to and filled with activity and
energy than the present one Yet he does not specu
late much upon the future. Rather does he seem to
be chiefly interested in forecasng the ultimate destiny
of Leaves Of Grass which he docs not like to think
will be reegated the limbo Of unused or uhrcadable
books.
This question IS of course not one upon which those
pass final judgment. Posterlty often does surpnfing
things and adopts queer views. Among its peculiar
tiles is tendency "parcere subjects ct debellarc
saperbos" and for all any living knows this pro
clv!ty may be exercised behalf of Walt Whitman.
As regards his contemporaries, they certainly have not
discovered in him the music Of the future and the
sons which have determined the prevailing judgment
upon him do not appear weak or caprcious Walt
Whitman himself retains consolotaTy assurance Of
his own position, and 1t is not worth while TO attempt
to disturb his faith. In the concluding pages Of The
present volume he gives some autObiOTapic memo
rauda which will be found interesting and quantity IL
Illustrative of character. As for the prctentiOus
papers-attempts at essay-writing and the nke-per-
haps the less said about them the better For 1t is
unfortunately the fact that when Walt Whitman tries
to be profound he commonly becomes unintellgibe,
seeming 10 lose his footing In a bag of vcrliagc His
passion for strngng words together in catalogueform
recalls old Burton at times. though Of course Whitman
has nothing of Buron's crudihon. Let hope, how
ever, that his last booklet may cOntribut somewhat
TO the comfort OF his age and the assuagement Of his
infirmitles.

ORDER OF FORESTERS.
Formal Opening and Dedication of Thein

Formal Opening and Dedication of Their
New Building.
The Ancient Order of Foresters dedicated
new lodge quarters last evening with appro-
PIRATE exercises.
The new hall is situated al the corner OF
Stockton and O'Farrell streets, and the I'M
provements just completed have cost the
order about SSOO0 The old quarters were
hardly sufficient to accommodate the rap
idly increasing membership of the organiza-
ton, and the new building will be found
much more cOmmodious, as it contains nine
lodge-rooms, besides an assembly and ban
duet hall. An of the rooms have been newly
furnished, and the members of the order are
much pleased with their new home.
So very many complimentary invitations
were issued that the place was crowded to
suffocation long before o'clock. Seats
could not be provided for half the number
present, ana those who found standing
room were considered fortunate.
High Chief Ranger p. f. Nulty presided,
and alter a solo by the First Regiment Band
introduced Past Chief Ranger G. f. Burg
man, who delivered the opening address,
which was review of the history of the
order on the Pacific Coast, with brief Out-
line of some of its future plans. He spoke
at length Of the good il had accomplished In
the past two years, and prophe5ied for the
order a brilliant future.
After another selection by the band Mrs.
Jules Fouruuet gave piano solo, which was
followed by an address from Past Chief
Ranger Joseph Moscrop
Miss Bertha FOurquet then sang the
Jewel Song" from Faust" with splendid
effect. She was followed by MIR. 4. A.
