THE STORY OF A POET.
From The Pail Mall Gazette.

Here IS true story OF a poet. The poet vas
travelling and had lost his luggage. which -
natural thing to happen to a poet. Ultimately,
though a poet. he found il. and then the trouble
began. The authorities. since IL was within the
British Isles. could not do by him as they did
in Italy by another poet of my acquaintance
than his appearance warranted What they
could do they did: they refused to allow that the
baggage belonged to him. Naturally, it was not
labelled. naturally. also he had got no keys 10
any OF his portmanteauS However, he insisted.
and at last offered to give an inventory OF tho
contents. AT the top" he said you will find
a manuscript poem. and will tell you what -
in the poem" The station master took him a:
his word: and Limerick Junction saw the
sight OF n station master holding poets manu-
script and the poet endeavoring to reclte IL. The
script was grabbed and full of alterations. the
poets memory was deficient. and considerable"
period OF time was consumed before the station
master was convinced that he had before h.m
not only u poet, but poets portmanteau.

\ Bradstreet's says: Satisfactory trade

reign. So few, In fact, are the reports
of poor trade that favorable reports may
be said to be almost unanimous. An ex-
banded volume of fall trade is indicated
by the aggregate of bank clearings for
the week, though reports from some mar
kets point to the greatest rush being over.
Prices as a rule maintain all their for
mer strength, decreases being few and
relatively unimportant. In several lines,
notably the cereals, cotton, petroleum,
iron and steel, the tendency Is toward
higher levels. Cotton has been notably
strong and active. Wool is higher at
London and alphabetically strong here,
and expectations of a good export trade

tanned. Wheat. including -four, ship
