POET BURNS.
A Criticism Which Appeared In the
Edinburgh Magazine In 1856.

The following brief criticism on the
OF Burns appeared in the Edin-
burgh Magazine, October, 1856, short
~ after the second edition of his works
came out: THE author is indeed a
striking example of native genius
bursting through the obscurjties of
poverty and the Instructions of la
borions life. He is said to be Il com
mon plowman, and when we consider.
him In this light we cannot help re
GREETING that maynard fate had not
placed him in a more favored situation.
Those who view with the severity of
criticism and judge by the
faStidiouS rules of art will discover
that he has not the Doric simplicity of
Ramsey nor the brilliant Imagination
of Ferguson, but t. those who admire
the eNertions of untutored fancy and
are blind to many faults for the sake
of numberless beauties his poems will
afford singular qualification. His OBJ
on human characters are
acute and %sagacious, and his descriiD-
tons are lively and just. OF rustic
pleasantly he has a rich fund, and
some of his softer scenes are touched
with inimitable delicacy. He seems
to be Il boon companion and often
startles us with sentiments which Will
keep some readers at Il distance. Some
Of his subjects are serious, but those
Of the humorous kind are the best

Judge Gary at the recent meeting of

ment:
Your objection reminds me of the
objection a lawyer once made to u

a prisoner convicted of second degree
murder thirty years solitary confine-
ment, w%hereupon the lawyer cried out:
But, your honor, my client is old.
He wont live thirty years

shorten his sentence to life imprison-
ment if You prefer it.'"-New York

Carpenters Sue Bosses.

Charles L. Eidlitz. president of The
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton, Of New York, was sued yester.
day for $3.50, 600 damages by the United
brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America, which alleges
that the carpenters in having been
locked out since August s last, in
New York, have been deprived of an
opportunity to- Urn a livelihood.
Thirty thousand men in vari ous
trades were locked out in retaliation
for numerous strikes instituted by the
men, the latter having refused to turn
to work within a certain period. Since
then the carpenters have been unable
to make peace with the en- pIoyers.
They had nothing to do with the
strikers which caused the lockout,
but were the victims of other trades
who violated an agreement.

RUSHING WORK ON
NIXON'S POWER BOAT.
viii Enter the Great Ocean Race
From France to This
Country.

Work is being pushed on the 90-foot
casoIene motor boat being bniIt at Lewis
Nixon's shipyard in this city to be en-
tered in the ocean race for motor boats,
promoted by NJ. Charley, the French
auto boat enthusiast, and 1t seems prob
able that Nixon will be able to keep his
promise to have the boat ready to start
eight weeks from October l. If the
hopes of her designer and builder are re-
allied. the new boat will cross the ocean
without replenishing her stock of gaso-
lene, and will travel at nearly the speed
of the regular passenger liners, for she
is built of steel of great tensile strength,
and she will be able, when battended
down to go through big seas without
danger either to the boat or her crew.
According to the conditions OF the
match, the race is to be from Havre to
New York, not from New York to Havre,
so that the Nixon boat, which, it is
said, is being built for an. American
yachtsman living abroad will he sent
across by a southern route, and will
be delivered to her owner at some port
on the Mediterranean In having crossed
the Atlantic once she will have some
advantage, for her crew will be weather
wise, so to speak, and when the real
races starts they will know their boat
and how she will behave in rough and
smooth water. E. r. Thomas, Frank
Croker, Alfred G. and w. X. Vanderbilt,
Jr. have been mentioned as men who
will enter boats in the race for M. Char
ley's prize OF $40, 900. With the exception
of Alfred G.. Vanderbilt, none of those
named own any boat at present that
would be able to fulfil the requirements,
either in the matter of speed or stability.
The Nixon boat is to be driven by twin
screws, and is to carry eight men, three
of whom will be 10 the engine room.
The boat will be ready to launch in a
few weeks, it is said.
