There is n movement in Connecticut to
erect monument to the memory Of the
poet, James Gates Percival. He was n
peculiar man aud had all of the poets
idiosyncrasies. On one occasion he was
invited to meet number OF gentlemen
In New Haven. who were in their turn
notified that they were to have the pleas
ure of meeting the poet. He was TO be-
in fact. the honored guest Of the even.
ing They were all on hand. but Per-
cival did not put in IN appearance. Al
lowance was made for his utter indiffer-
ence to the passing OF time, and up to
midnight he was expected.
At last, as morning drew near, deem
ing 1t certain that the poet had forgot
ten the invitation, the guests went home
and the host put up tho bars and went
to bed. At about 2 o'clock in the morn
ing he heard some one at his front door,
went down. asked the object Of the call
and found that il was Percivnl The as
tonished host let the poet in, and tho lat
ter blandly said that he had inferred
from what had been said that there were
10 be others present. The host told him
that the others had all gone home. The
poet expressed regret and settled him
self down for a good smoke and talk,
which kept up. TO his hosts embarrass-
ment, till the sun ose.-Boston Tran
