Towson. This does not mean that Hon. Joshua
Frederick Cockey Talbot is contemplating an
other political flank movement; 1t has to do
with a far tenderer and more entertaining

the Towson laureate is about to commit mat
rimony. In the overlooking exuberance of
victorious emotions the poet sat himself down

and roman candle, fixed his finely frenzied eye
upon the North STAR ran his quivering fingers
thrice through his disordered curls, and then
wrote down the following, which he sends to
us anonymously this morning, saying: Gould
