[ "6 THE TEMPLE OF VENUS, is a square building, designed and executed by Kent, connected by circular arcades to a Pavilion at each extremity : the fronts of these Pavilions are rusticated : the centre is marked by a large circular recess, in which is an arched doorway ; it is decorated with Ionic Columns, and over the entrance is this inscription : Veneri Hortensi. Upon the Frieze is the following Motto from Catullus : Nunc amet qui nondum amavit ; Quique amavit, nunc amet. Let him love now, who never lov'd before ; Let him who always lov'd, now love the more. In the centre of the building gtands a marble statue of Venus. It was discovered in an exca vation near the Palace of the Cæsars at Rome, and was brought from Italy by the Marquess of Chandos. The legs are modern, and have been restored ; but the upper part of the body is beau tifully formed, and was a favorite study of the celebrated sculptor, Canova. From the back part ofthe building, through an arch corresponding with that in front, is a view of the approach from Buckingham, and of part of the Park.", "42 30. The Marquis of Granby— whole length.

[ "PREFACE. x».MIDST the many calamities, that have for agea embittered the minds of the Irish, and distracted the affairs of this unhappy country, we find prejudice and power using every effort that meanness could devise, or treachery support, to blacken their character, abuse their feelings, and divide their affections. Of all the conquered and calumniated nations of the globe, Ireland has been most despised in her humility, and injured in. her energies. The wills of her foreign masters had never been satisfied, after wading through blood, and revelling in plunder, unless the sword and the faggot destroyed every relic of her glory — every monument of her genius, and every vestige of her greatness. The halls of her ancestry were demolished ; the altars of her faith were profaned ; and the records of her liberty were consigned to oblivion, or the fire. Notwithstanding her many aggravated misfortunes, there still remains a recollection of her valour, and a veneration for her fame, that prejudice cannot alter that power cannot destroy, or even time obliterate from the adamantine breast of patriotism. The names of the O'Neills, O'Donnells, O'Conors, O'Briens, &c. will defy the ravages of the sword, and the revolutions of destiny, while they shine on as lights to enterprize, and mementos of patriotic friendship, as long as the pages of history are embellished with the actions of the brave, the great, and the talented.", "49 Yes, peace I despise, if it leave us not free As a bird of the wood, or a gale from the sea : Their arms I defy, for such weapons as our's Can baffle their arts, and can humble their pow'rs : Their claims I refuse, for the spot where we stand Reminds us that Erin 's our own native land— The land of our fathers ; — but shall it be known They left us a country — no longer our own !

He stood by her side and wondered, but he dared not interrupt her meditations. At length, Miss Lockwood began to remark the boy's patient expectation of her coming out of the house, the pleasure he took in being of service to her. She asked him questions re- peating the curious marine plants which grew in the interstices of the rocks, and was amused, sometimes frightened, at the eagerness with which he clambered up and down the face of the cliff to gather them for her. In return, she told him tales about the wonders of the tropics,, the gorgeous plumage of the birds, the quick vegeta- tion in the islands of the Indian Archipelago. Her low-toned voice, which seemed never quite to have regained its natural fulness, fell on his ear like music.

But that black mood passed ; and for a time he threw himself into a life of dissipation. Perhaps it was the thoughts of his dead mother, whom he had loved devotedly; — perhaps it was his innate purity of nature which recalled Hugh, before he had plunged too deeply into the mire. For a short time he was given to making cynical re marks on women generally — because he had been maltreated by one in particular; he took more wine than was good for him ; he affected fast society.

[ "203 ist sehr wahrscheinlich, dass auch in Aosta sich die Byzan tiner lange hielten, und die Stadt den Franken überlieferten. Aus der fränkischen Zeit haben wir gar keine Nachrichten über Aosta und können nicht feststellen, ob es damals im Thale Königsgut gab. Guntram, Sohn Chlotars L, der das Königreich Burgund beherrschte, soll dem Bistum Aosta seine Güter restituiert haben, und von den Königen des Arelats heisst es, dass sie die Kirche von Aosta reich dotiert hätten, besonders Boso und Rudolf.1 Von 840—877 war Aosta nach Terraneos Angabe mit Italien vereinigt, gehörte aber dann zur Herrschaft Bosos und zum mittleren burgundischen Reiche. Im 10. Jahrhundert beanspruchte auch zeitweilig Adalbert, der Sohn Berengars II., Rechte im Thal, besonders den so einträglichen Zoll, und setzte sich durch Raub in dessen Besitz.2 Später waren besonders die Grafen von Savoyen, das Bistum und das Ursusstift im Thale begütert. Doch können wir aus einigen Urkunden entnehmen, dass in Aosta in älterer Zeit ein königlicher Domanialbesitz bestanden haben muss, da wir im 11., 12. und 13. Jahrhundert noch einige Spuren davon finden. So führt 1044 eine villa in der Grafschaft Aosta den Namen „Pratum regale\", was wohl auf früheren königlichen Besitz Schliessen lässt (Ch. 2, 111). Auch bei Fenis, 13 km. östlich von Aosta am rechten Doraufer, wird 1176 ein „pratum reale\" erwähnt (Ch. 2, 1566). 1227 grenzen zu Oyace (Eacia zu lesen, nicht Cacia, Misc. 23 p. 239. Ch. 1, 869), im Val Pellina, 12 km. nordöstlich von Aosta mehrere Grundstücke an „terra regum\". 2. Thal von Susa. Etwas besser als über das Thal der Dora Baltea, sind wir über das Thal der Dora Riparia unterrichtet, das, wie wir oben sahen, ebenfalls vom Ende des 6.

Walderich bekleidete auch das Amt des Vicegrafen („gastaldius et vicecomes ipsius civitatis\" CL. 207). Er war ein sehr angesehener Mann, der selbst mehrere Vassallen hatte , die hinter ihm als Zeugen eine Urkunde unterschrieben (CL. 190). Sein Sohn Amalricus war 870 vicecomes von Mailand (CL. 247. 267), doch nicht mehr Gastalde. Wahrscheinlich wurden die beiden Funktionen mit einander vereinigt (s. u.). Ausser Walderich, der die wichtigste Rolle unter den mailändischen Gastalden spielte, wird 822 ein Gastalde Gausariiis (CL. 98) im Mai länder Gericht erwähnt, der vielleicht mit dem 835 in Limonta erwähnten Gastalden Gausus (CL. 126) identisch ist.

B. 860 Graf Bernhard den Königshof Garda (Ch. 1, 30), Graf Liutfred 879 Kirchengut als Lehen des Königs (CL. 289) , Graf Radald behauptete 915 den Hof Barbada als Königslehen zu haben (CL. 459), Graf Amizo hatte Lehen in Chiavenna zur Zeit Otto's III. (St. 1047. DO. III. 175.) Auch lernen wir Güter kennen, die direkt Pertinenzen der Grafschaft waren, so z. B. in der Grafschaft Stazona (CL. 362), in der Grafschaft Lodi (CL. 583) u. a. sonst. Von Karl dem Grossen wurde gesetzlich den Grafen und Ministerialen ver boten königliche Besitzungen zu verschenken bei Strafe der Infidelität (Lib. Pap. 121 Leges 4, p. 509). Fraglich ist es, ob die Vögte (advocati) auch Ver waltungskompetenzen erlangten. Das dürftige Material erlaubt nicht hierüber etwas Näheres anzugeben. Soweit wir sie kennen, sind sie Vertreter des Fiskus vor Gericht, (cf. Ficker § 222. 223 und $ 441). In der Lombardei kennen wir Vögte von Auce und Castenedolo (CL. 439) und Sospiro in den Jahren 852, 891 und 910 (CL. 180. 349. 438). Über andere als gerichtliche Kompetenzen der Vögte ist nichts bekannt, doch läge es nahe anzunehmen, dass auf sie die juristischen Kompetenzen der Gastalden über gegangen wären. Als Unterbeamte, d. h. als Verwalter einzelner Königshöfe oder Güterkomplexe lernen wir in der lango bardischen Zeit die sogenannten „actores\" oder actionarii kennen.

From his account, in Gent's time, the well had been so long filled in that its existence was only a matter of tradition. Gough in his edition of Camden, 1789, refers to it when speaking of the freed-stool, which he says, \" is fixed in the south wall of the south chapel, formerly in the south side of the choir, where is a well of water covered over.\" In his History of Beverley, the Rev. G. Oliver writes — \" An old book (Britannia Depicta, Owen, 1731) on topography, in my possession, without a title page, says the freed-stool in Beverley has a well of water behind it.\" Poulson in his Beverlac makes no mention of the matter. The Rev. T. Cox, in his Magna Britannia, 1720, says, \" Behind this seat (the freed-stool) is a well of water.\" The Communion Table is new and of oak, the commu nion rails are of brass-work very neatly designed, and the pavement of the sanctuary is of French marble in various colours and very elegant ; that portion of it that covers the ancient well being constructed so that it can be taken up by unlocking the frame in which it is fixed. On the south side of the sanctuary is the ancient Sedilia, which had been long thrown aside, its use being unknown ; but it has lately, like all the wood-work of the choir, been perfectly restored. Close to it is the credence table. The Pulpit, which is modern, is an octagon of two stages, exhibiting some elegant carved work. The elegant brass Lectern was placed in position in 1880, by subscription, in memory of the Rev. Canon Birtwhistle.* * The Rev. John Burton Birtwhistle was Incumbent Curate and Vicar of the Minster from the year 1844 until his decease on the 17th September, 1S79. His age was 76 years. In December, 1867, he was made a Canon of York, and appointed to the prebendal stall of Bilton in that Cathedral.", "GREEN'S COMPLETE 40 The original Organ, of which the present is an enlarge ment and re-construction, was built by Snetzler, in 1767, and at its opening the first musical festival held north of the Trent took place in this Minster. Additions were made to it by Ward, of York, in 1824, and in 1847 it underwent considerable alterations by Forster & Andrews, of Hull. The present organ, which is one of the finest in the kingdom, was opened in April, 1885, by a grand musical service, which attracted lovers of the art from far and near. It is a thorough re-construction of the original instrument, by Hill & Sons, of London, but the best stops of the old organ have been retained. The greater part, including the large pipes, is fixed in the south aisle of the choir, and some of the metal pipes are arranged on the piers of the chancel arch. The manuals stand on the organ screen, upon which it is arranged to place a case of ornamental design. The wind is supplied by hydraulic power. The cost of the additions to the organ was nearly £3,000. On the north side of the choir, near the Communion rails, is that superb monument called the Percy Shrine, which is believed to have been erected in honour of the Lady Idonea, daughter of Robert, Lord Clifford, and the wife of Henry, the second Lord Percy of Alnwick. This very magnificent piece of sculpture, which is in the Decorated style of the time of Edward III., consists of an elegant groined canopy of freestone, containing a pediment with a double-feathered ogee arch terminating in a beautiful finial composed of vine-leaved ornaments. The spandrils are charged with Angels bearing censers.

The Church of St. Martin, as already intimated, stood on the south side of the Minster. The Living of the united parishes of St. John and St. Martin is now a Vicarage, in the gift of the Trustees of the late Rev. Charles Simeon, of Cambridge, by purchase from the Corporation of Beverley, under the Municipal Act. The stipends of the Vicar, or \" Preacher,\" and two \" Readers,\" or Curates, are derived chiefly out of the Minster Funds. Full choral service is performed on Sundays, and prayers are read twice every day. The Vicarage House is on the north side of the Church, and adjoining it is a parish room and a school for girls. The latter was sounded and endowed by the Rev. James Graves, a former Incumbent of the Minster. The Inn called the Hall Garth, on the south side of the Minster, is the Manor House for the Manor of Beverley Water Towns, and here it was that the Provost's Court was formerly held, and the gaol of the Provostry was attached to it. The building, which contains some remains of the old court and gaol, was formerly moated, and traces of the moat are now visible. An old tradition makes the Hall Garth the site of the residence of St. John of Beverley. South of the Hall Garth is the ancient Park of Beverley, which belonged to the Archbishops of York till the year 1545, when it was alienated to King Henry VIII. The Minster Boys' National Schools, opened in 1848, stand a little south of the Church. G" ]

The road winds along the bottom of a downy valley, the sides of which, entirely divested of trees, slope gently into it in various directions. At the distance of a mile from Lewes, we arrive in sight of that ancient borough and market-town, whose situation, on an acclivity washed by the Ouse, and nearly encircled by an amphitheatre of loftier eminences, unites beauty with salubrity and commercial convenience. In size and population, (since in 1811 the houses enume rated 893, and the inhabitants were estimated at 6,221) this town ranks next to Brighton; its trade, facilitated by the Ouse, which is navigable for six miles up the country, has of late years considerably increased; and its streets, besides possessing, from the ascent on which they are built, an unusual degree of cleanliness, are spacious and in general respectable-looking. It is a borough by prescription, having returned two members to Parliament from the time of Edward I. the right of election is vested in the inhabitants paying scot and lot. Though not incorporated, it lays claim to some particular privileges ; and the town-records afford sufficient evidence of its having formerly possessed corporative powers, and of having been governed by two bodies of townsmen, one composed of 12 and the other of 24 persons, with two constables at their head. Under the latter title, the two principal municipal officers continue to be elected at the court-leet annually. Two respectable Banks are among the modern facilities for business, which commerce has created here; and the handsome Bridge, bestriding a river which communicates with the Channel at New haven, may be considered as another.

The Draw-bridge, over the Ouse, is as handsome in appearance, as necessary for commercial purposes. The Church is modern, with the exception of the tower, which, with its small semicircular-headed win dows, contrasts strongly, in the eye of the antiquary, with the body of a building, of so much later erection. The fabric altogether is small, seated on an hill at the west side of the place. The tower, unlike the gene rality, stands at the east end of the structure. An Obelisk, of handsome proportions, but formed of so soft a species of stone, that, though erected within these 20 years, it is already crumbling to decay, stands near the church-yard. It has for its object the comme moration of Capt. Hancock, and 104 men, the crew of the sloop of war, the Brazen, mounting 18 guns, which was wrecked on the Ave Rocks, near this town, Jan. the 25th, 1800. One man only survived this unfortu nate event. The far greater number of the drowned seamen were washed upon the beach by the tide; and, being here buried, the obelisk is intended to preserve the names of the officers, and the memory of the catas trophe: yet the inscriptions relating these particulars, on each of the sides of the pedestal, are nearly obliterated; and the lamentable loss of the Brazen is less durably recorded on this obelisk, than in the breasts of the townsmen of Newhaven.

Nous allons donner une courte description de ce monu ment. Le maître autel est situé en face du portail du milieu : on y monte par dix marches de marbre blanc tiré de la province de Huaylas (département d'Ancachs). Au pied de cet autel reposent les restes de Francisco Pizarro, des archevêques et des chanoines. Seize beaux autels décorent les côtés des nefs laté rales.

Tout Pétablissement est environné par un mur extérieur de 12 mètres de hauteur, et d'un mètre de largeur à sa partie supérieure. Ses fondements ont une profondeur d'environ 3 mètres. Ce mur est en granit jusqu'à la hauteur de 3 mètres, et en quelques endroits même jusqu'à la hauteur de 5 mètres. Le reste est en briques. Toutes les grilles des cellules, des ateliers, du réfectoire sont en fer forgé. Le pavé est en pierre d'ardoise.

Yanayacu est éloigné de Santa- Catalina d'environ sept lieues, et sa position est aussi importante que celle de Santa-Ca talina; parce que, sans Fexistence de ces deux bourgs, on ne pourrait jamais voyager par ce chemin. En effet, les commerçants ou les voyageurs qui viennent de FUcayali ont be soin de prendre des portefaix à Santa-Cata lina pour transporter leurs bagages ou leurs marchandises par terre jusqu'à Yanayacu. En cet endroit on a besoin de canots pour descendre jusqu'à PHuallaga par Fintermé diaire des rivières Yanayacu et Chipurana. D'un autre côté, ceux qui viennent de PHual laga remontent en canot par les rios Chipu rana et Yanayacu jusqu'au bourg de Ya nayacu, et en cet endroit ils ont besoin de portefaix pour la voie de terre qui s'étend jusqu'à Santa-Catalina, où ils descendent en canot jusqu'à FUcayali. Les Pères de Sarayacu ont une grande in fluence sur les habitants de Yanayacu et de Santa-Catalina; les Curacas de ces bourgs ne savent même pas quel est le gouvernement qui régit le Pérou; ils ne reconnaissent que l'autorité des Pères missionnaires de Sa rayacu. Le bourg de Yanayacu est appelé à devenir très-considérable, attendu que, depuis peu d'années, il a vu augmenter considérablement sa population. Cette augmentation est due à la communication facile de PHuallaga avec FUcayali, au moyen des rios Chipurana et Santa Catalina, ce qui permet de transporter en très-peu de temps le poisson salé que l'on prépare sur les bords de FUcayali, et dont on fait une grande consommation dans la ville de Moyobamba et dans les bourgs situés sur les rives de PHuallaga. Yanayacu, à Fépoque de sa fondation, n'a vait pour habitants que deux ou trois famil les, mais sa population a été continuellement en augmentant, et, suivant le recensement de 1857, ce bourg comptait déjà 173 habitants. Depuis cette époque, il paraît encore avoir augmenté, malgré Pépidémie de 1858. Les habitants de Yanayacu ont une origine différente : on rencontre dans ce bourg quel ques familles de Chayavitas, de Cahuapanas, de Sarayacu, de Chasuta, etc. Le bourg de Yanayacu, comme celui de Santa-Catalina, a son couvent qui sert d'habitation aux mis sionnaires , quand ils arrivent de Saraya cu, et d'auberge pour ceux qui voyagent par cette route. Mais si le gouvernement péruvien veut fa ciliter le passage par cette voie, et activer le commerce de la province, il est de la plus grande urgence qu'il établisse à Yanayacu un fonctionnaire salarié, pour empêcher les abus qui se commettent aujourd'hui sous l'autorité du Curaca, qui, n'étant pas assez surveillé par les Pères missionnaires, obligés de résider à Sarayacu, et ne reconnaissant aucune espèce de gouvernement, arrête à sa guise les voyageurs, et exige des prix fabu leux même pour les articles de première né cessité, tels que les bananes. Mais il est éga lement nécessaire que les autorités adminis tratives des districts de Sarayacu et de Santa Catalina conservent une bonne harmonie avec les Pères missionnaires de Sarayacu, parce que ces Pères sont très-respectés et jouis sent d'une grande influence sur les Indiens. Les maisons de Yanayacu sont dispersées çà et là, sans aucun ordre, et construites de palissades formées d'un palmier appelé Ta rapoto; le toit est formé de Yarina. Le bourg de Yanayacu est dans une disette de vivres continuelle, et le travail personnel est assez cher, relativement aux autres bourgs de la province ; on paye six réaux pour trans porter une balle de marchandises de Ya nayacu à Santa-Catalina, qui n'est éloignée que d'une journée de chemin." ]

' It was done in the usual way in all cases where the proof of death is only presumptive. The evidence, such as it was, was laid before the court by the applicants, your husband's cousins ; and the ser vants who had been with him deposed to his death with a particularity that was deemed sufficient. Their error was, not that somebody died — for somebody did die at the time affirmed — but that they mistook one person for another ; the person who died being not Sir Blount Constantine. The court was of opinion that the evi dence led up to a reasonable inference that the deceased was actually Sir Blount, and probate was granted on the strength of it. As there was a doubt about the exact day of the month, the applicants were allowed to swear that he died on or after the date last given of his existence — which, in spite of their error then, has really come true, now, of course.' ' They little think what they have done to me by being so ready to swear ! ' she murmured.

It has been to your ladyship's loss, and to their gain. But they will make ample restitution, no doubt : and all will be wound up satisfactorily.' Lady Constantine was far from explaining that this was not her meaning ; and, after some further conver sation of a purely technical nature, Mr. Cecil left her presence. AATien she was again unencumbered with the neces sity of exhibiting a proper bearing, the sense that she had greatly suffered in pocket by the undue haste of the executors weighed upon her mind with a pressure quite inappreciable beside the greater gravity of her personal position.

Feeling himself absolutely free he had, on arriving at Southampton, decided to make straight for the Cape, and hence had not gone aboard the Occidental at all. His object was to leave his heavier luggage there, examine the capabilities of the spot for his purpose, find out the necessity or otherwise of shipping over his own equatorial, and then cross to America as soon as there was a good opportunity. Here he might inquire the movements of the Transit expedition to the South Pacific, and join it at such a point as might be convenient. Thus, though wrong in her premisses, Viviette had intuitively decided with sad precision. There was, as a matter of fact, a great possibility of her not being able to communicate with him for several months, notwithstanding that he might possibly communicate with her.

She could not come herself, and as she was anxious, and nobody else could be spared, I came for her.' Then they walked on together. The parson told Swithin all about his grandmother, the parish, and his endeavours to enlighten it ; and in due course said, ' You are no doubt aware that Lady Constantine is living again at Welland ?

Second Siècle. — Plus on étudiera le sol de Besançon, plus sans doute on se convaincra que, avant la seconde moitié du IIIe siècle, dont les calamités sans nombre furent autant d'obstacles à toutes grandes constructions, cette ville avait atteint, dans ses édifices, son plus haut degré de splendeur. (1) Le cipitole est à côté du forum , comme le montrent les actes de saint Wa ximin cités plus haut. Le rituel de S. Prothade prouve avec évidence qu'il est au dessous du forum.

Ilis finitìs, ordinent se sicut priiis et teneant cceptum i ter, etc. Puis on arrive à la porte de Mars , quœ nunc dicitur porta nigra : les enfanls chantent au-dessus de la porte, dans la tour des cloches : Finitis his versibus aperianlur portée civitatis. — Une charte de 1218 est le dernier acte qui rappelle le Capilole.

II se dirigea alors vers la montagne, passant à Mabqalah, puis à Girmahahât; «il se rendit alors dans un autre endroit, nommé Sérâîâ'3'-n, puis il arriva à la montagne.

[ "166 CHAPTER IV. EDUCATIONAL. \" Uncle Tom,\" that is the name young Francis Romilly and Valerie will henceforth call him, has been devoting himself to a completely new course of reading since these two boys have been with him at Lady Clare. When he took leave of the Stock Exchange, and resolved to retire on a modest competence into the country home he loved so well, a violent dislike for much that was modern had not unnaturally taken possession of him. He feared that the age, while it boasted of \" freedom and progress,\" might be tending to anarchy and progress in the downward direction. He believed in authority, in obedience, in duty ; and it appeared to him that in the general bouleversement going on before him — the rush for wealth, the universal discontent, the abominable (as he called it) doctrine of \"buying in the cheapest and selling in the dearest market,\" the country was not likely to maintain its position, that its people were not on the right road to happiness. Many things in modern life, social and political, displeased, frightened or horrified him. Let those enlightened readers who believe that this struggling nation, with its enormous responsibilities all over the world, can be saved by atheism, materialism and the so-called science of political economy make allowance for him. He had been nourished, if they choose so to call it, \"in a creed outworn \" ; but it was a creed which in his case bore noble fruit in a life of devotion and charitable deeds, and it allowed him to", "CHAPTER VI. DIAMOND DUST. Meantime Dr. Diamond took up his parable. \" My dear Harrington, I do not object to Harty's Euclid at the proper time. It is a rare mental disci pline ; but let me impress on you the value of things. Now when Harty and I went to that big college yonder on the other side of the river, what did we learn ? Words, words, words. We were crammed with Latin grammar and dosed with Latin verses. You say you have been reading Montaigne. Well, he had not much reverence for pedants. Do you remember his statement that 'we labour and toil and plod to fill the memorie and leave both understanding and conscience empty ' ? Pre cisely. Did a single one of those masters ever point his finger up at the stars and give us a hint about the grandeur of the universe ? Never. Did he ever pluck a flower and set it before his class and show or explain all its beautiful organism ? Never. Did he ever lead his class on a holiday up to that glorious old castle yonder, and taking its towers for his text bring the feudal ages vividly before them ? Never. We were never told anything of the heavens above, or the earth beneath, or the waters under the earth. Nature was a sealed book, and the sumnuun bonum of education was to read a classical author and make verses ! \"Wherein lay the good of the school then?

In the intervals of the whirlwind of talk, of laughter, of cheers, he informed his fellow guests that there sat before them a man with the intellect of a Mirabeau, the audacity of a Nelson, the calm of a Wellington, and the industry of a Brougham. \"All countrymen of his own too!\" when a volley of \" No, Noes,\" greeted this audacious assertion, he answered the question \"What about Mirabeau?\" by declaring that Mirabeau's grandmother was of Irish descent, and that he might for oratorical purposes fairly claim that leonine character as a countryman ! but his eloquence was cut short by the gentlemen at the table beyond rising to their feet, and with glasses uplifted singing \" he's a jolly good fellow \" in honour of their host. When the Reverend Stephen Harty rose to make /j/s speech over Frank Romilly, at least six songs were being sung at various tables. A splendid young basso on his left was telling them that he was \" a Friar of Orders Grey\". On the right, a noted actor was reciting or trying to recite \"The ballad of Bouillabaisse\". Over in the north-west corner, a young man was clasping his hands, and turning up his eyes over \" the Lady Clare,\" another gentleman at the southern table \" Waited for the train at Coventry,\" and at the penultimate table, under the blazoned arms of Plowden, a noted student of Devon shire extraction and unquestionable Devon speech, was singing a strange native ditty about \" one Uncle Tom Cobley and all \" which had a terrific chorus \" Uncle Tom Cobley and aw-awl Uncle Tom Cobley and all 1 ! \" to which all his friends, who had been specially drilled in his chambers beforehand, did justice ten times over.

[ "16 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. Wrottesly has noted that the assessment for that county only varied one penny during the reigns of Henry I. and IT. ; and he informs us that in 8 Henry II. , it was reduced to os. 7d. His table of land measures seems too fanciful to be of real value to Derbyshire students. He would give a knight's fee as equal to 3000 acres, or three hides, or four carucates ; three virgates, or 750 acres, being equal to one carucate. The Evesham Cartulary suggests the following table : — \" Twelve acres to a virgate, four virgates to a hide, eight hides to a scutage ; a carucate being only equal to three virgates.\" Derbyshire Domesday only mentions carucates, bovats, and acres ; and from that book itself the relation of bovats to carucates can be certainly adduced, and from several instances. In the king's manor of Langdendale, it is shown that eight bovats go to the carucate ; so it would appear from Snelston, though there is an error of one bovat in the calculation. But it is quite clear again from Henry de Ferrers' manor of Burnaston, so that Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt's estimate of from eight to twenty four bovats would seem not to apply to Derbyshire, since it is there a fixed and not a variable measure. In Geoffry Ascelins' manor of Braideston we appear to get the measure of a carucate. Gilbert de Gant held there two carucates of land, one mile in length and three furlongs in breadth, which would give 120 acres to the carucate and fifteen to the bovat, counting 640 acres to the square mile. Curiously, this exactly agrees with Mr. Eyton's calculation respecting the number of acres in a carucate. Hubert fitz Ralf's manor of Middleton is measured by one mile in length and four furlongs in breadth. One carucate was geldable in it, and there was land for one plough, but it was waste, and little evidence can be gathered from this estimate. Whatever may have been the case in Derbyshire, it would seem that the normal me. -sure generally throughout the country was twelve acres to the bovat and eight bovats to the carucate, and eight carucates to the knight's fee, or scutage, and the virgate, whicli we do not find in Derbyshire until long tli' 1 Domesday, was in some places equivalent to a bovat, and in others to a double bovat. As already observed, Domesday is not what it is generally supposed to be, an account of every yard of land and, of all the P>ng thing upon it (that is a record of the national", "BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 41 Fol. 274*, Col.

Jene grossartige Umwälzung, welche mit dem Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts beginnend in ungefähr fünfundzwanzig Jahren die Gebiete vom finnischen Meerbusen bis südlich über die Düna hinaus, vom Ostseestrande bis an die russischen Grenzen, dem Christen thum und fremder Nationalität unterwarf, hat in dem Werke H.'s eine der Bedeutsamkeit des Vorgangs entsprechende, ihn in alle Nebenumstände verfolgende Darstellung gefunden. Sprechen wir zunächst von den Waffenthaten, die den bei Wei tem grössten Theil des ganzen Berichts erfüllen, so werden nicht allein die dauernden Erfolg erzielenden Unternehmungen, sondern jeder einzelne, von ein paar beutelustigen Kriegern ausgehende Handstreich, der nichts Anderes als Plünderung und Verwüstung der nächstgelegenen feindlichen Dörfer bezweckt, bis in die klein sten Details geschildert. Diese Plänkeleien vorzüglich in den Grenz gebieten, wie sie von den Letten oder den bischöflichen Vasallen in den Burgen an der Düna ausgeführt, von den Gegnern stets er wiedert werden, sie halten die Erbitterung während augenblicklicher Ruhe wach und dienen zur Charakteristik des allgemeinen Kampfs, wenn auch nicht in jedem einzelnen etwas Charakteristisches zu entdecken ist. Anders schon bei den mehr oder minder durch die Gesammtheit der Deutschen und ihrer Untergebenen, oder eine grössere feindliche Macht hervorgerufenen Kriegsfahrten, die mittel bar oder unmittelbar, dort etwa die Unterjochung einer ganzen Landschaft, hier einen gefährlichen Rückschlag, ein Zurückweichen christlicher Herrschaft nach sich ziehen. In fast jedem Augen blick kann der Stand der Dinge, das Neigen der Wage auf die eine oder die andere Seite erkannt, das folgende Verhalten der Gegner danach richtiger bemessen, die Gesammtentwicklung besser verfolgt werden. Durch die Ausführlichkeit, mit der die Ereignisse vorgeführt, jeder Feldzug, jede Schlacht, jede Belagerung dargelegt ist, gewinnt das Ganze an innerm Leben, an Mann ich faltigkeit, an Interesse.

Critik, Wahrheitsliebe und (Glaubwürdigkeit H.'s. Nachdem die Weise erörtert, in welcher der Schriftsteller seinen Plan zur Ausführung gebracht, bedarf es einiger zusammenfassen der Bemerkungen über die innern, in ihm selbst liegenden Vorbe dingungen , um aus Allem zusammen den Werth des Buchs zu ent nehmen. Von einer zwischen guten und minder glaubwürdigen Nach richten sichtenden critischen Thätigkeit ist bei ihm nichts ersicht lich : Alles wird in derselben bestimmten Weise ausgesprochen, kein Bedenken an irgend eine Mittheilung geknüpft. Dass ein solches Abwägen dem Niederschreiben vorausgegangen , und deshalb uns verborgen geblieben, ist kaum anzunehmen. Doch wird man zuge stehen, dass es dessen bei ihm fast nicht bedürfte. In frühere Pe rioden hat er sich nicht zurückgewagt, die Ereignisse seiner Zeit vermochte er grossentheils aus eigener Anschauung, oder nach glaub haften Berichten von Augenzeugen zu überliefern, selbst Fernerlie gendes war ihm durch vielfache Berührungen mit dem engern Schau platz seiner Erzählung, durch sein Verhältniss zu den leitenden Personen , in ausreichender Weise zugänglich. Die Critik musste hier also durch die günstigen äussern Umstände bei der Ab fassung zurückgedrängt werden: letztere aber, verbunden mit H.'s Sorgfalt und Genauigkeit und einer grossen Wahrheitsliebe waren genügend, einen trefflichen Bericht herzustellen. H. ist wol überall in der Lage gewesen, Wahres zu überliefern, und hat es in den meisten Fällen auch gewollt. Ein gewisses Mass der Subjectivität ist gewiss jedem Schriftsteller zuzugestehen, selbst dem längstvergangene Zeiten behandelnden; Jeder wird sich auf gentis ex melioribus; XXII. 5: caslrum Wendorum, cum sit minus castel lum quod tunc habuit Livonia ; XXVIII. 5: equos meliores et captivum superiorem etc. i) So fast immer bellum anstatt pugna. 2) XXIII. 8: erkerius Erker, plancae Planken; häusig kommen estnische und lettische Worte vor (watmal, maja, malewa etc.).", "53 die Erzählung durchgängig zeigt, ist der Verfasser kein politischer Kopf; es mangelte ihm Interesse und Verständniss für die Acte des Staats- und Verfassungslebens, was durch seine untergeordnete Stel lung zum Theil erklärt wird: niemals scheint er jenen Vorgängen selbst näher getreten zu sein, nirgend findet sich sein Name unter den Zeugen. Dazu kommt als weiteres beachtenswerthes Moment die Auffor derung der Herrscher: musste sie im Allgemeinen fördernd wirken, so doch bei gewissen Thatsachen in entgegengesetzter Richtung. Sehen wir uns bei einem Schriftsteller wie H. auch keineswegs veranlasst, willkürliche Verdrehung von Ereignissen zu Gunsten der Gebieter vorauszusetzen — und zum grossen Theil war dies un möglich, da Orden wie Geistlichkeit als Patrone des Werks erschei nen — so lag doch eine Versuchung, der sich der einfache Priester kaum entziehen durfte, bei jenem Verhältniss nahe genug, nämlich die Handlungen und Vorgänge, welche seine Beschützer in minder günstigem Lichte zeigten, zu übergehen, die Wahrheit hier mindestens abzuschwächen. Nicht zum Nachtheil Eines oder des Andern sollten die Thatsachen verändert, wol aber zum Besten Beider konnten sie gemildert werden. Dieser Wunsch trat an Bischof und Orden, wie auch an den Schreiber selbst ohne directe Aufforderung heran, da das Buch wol für hohe Leser bestimmt gewesen ist. Die nachfolgende Untersuchung möchte die allgemein ausge sprochene, schon bei ungenauer Leetüre sich aufdrängende Vermu thung erhärten, dass der Autor in einem Theil der besprochenen Nachrichten, die im Grossen und Ganzen die staatsrechtlichen Ver hältnisse behandeln, also gerade die Seiten des öffentlichen Lebens, bei denen ihm die Verbindung mit den Herrschern die wesentlich sten Mittel bot (vor Allem Urkunden), vieles Wichtige übergeht, Anderes, im Vergleich mit der übrigen Erzählung, ungenau, flüchtig, ja unrichtig giebt; in anderen Fällen dagegen, wo die Stellung der Obergewalten zu einander oder zu auswärtigen Mächten in Be tracht kommt, zwar wahr, aber nicht die ganze ihm bekannte Wahr heit überliefert. Die Gründe dafür sind verschieden und oben bereits angedeu tet. Dort scheint ausschliesslich Mangel an persönlichem In teresse hindernd gewirkt zu haben, da die meisten der betreffenden Ereignisse für eine genauere Darlegung kaum anstössig, vielmehr" ]

Reichs-Kriegs-", "43 transporte für die exponirten Gendarmerie-Posten wurden angegriffen; auch hatte sich Stojan Kovacevic mit einer 60 Mann starken Bande Ende November gleichfalls in die Krivosije gezogen. Diese Umstände veranlassten am 9. December die Abschliessung der hercegovinischen Grenze gegen die Krivosije durch einen Cordon des 1. Bataillons des Infanterie-Regiments Nr. 16 und durch die verfügbaren Gendarmen und Panduren. Diese Cordonlinie zog sich von Lucici in der Suttorina längs des Weges über Grab und Grancarevo bis an die monte negrinische Grenze; Krusevica, Bogoevic selo, Konjsko, Orovac (Orahovac) waren die Standorte je einer Compagnie, während die Zwischenpunkte Svrcuge. Vrbanje, Ive, Grab, Lastva, Grancarevo gornje und Dobri dub. durch Gendarmerie-Posten mit Militär-Assistenz besetzt wurden. Die Wirksamkeit dieses Cordons äusserte sich am 25. durch einen grösseren Zusammenstoss mit einer Insurgentenbande bei Parez, und von da an häuften sich die Nachrichten einer allerorts beginnenden Gährung. Stojan Kovacevic zog aus der Bjelagora (östlich Grab) über montene grinisches Gebiet gegen Gacko und Korito, um dort den Aufstand zu organisiren; bei Kameno und Katelj wurden Gendarmerie-Patrouillen überfallen und massacrirt ; am 3. Jänner entspann sich in der Gegend von Krusevica ein längeres Feuergefecht zwischen einer, angeblich 200 Mann starken Bande und einer Compagnie des Cordons. * Massenhafte Entfernung waffenfähiger und Stellungspflichtiger Männer aus der Zubci, sowie Desertionen der einheimischen Panduren und Gendarmen, liessen erkennen, dass die Agitation immer mehr Boden gewann. Im Bezirke Nevesinje sammelte der ehemalige türkische Buljuk basa Salko Forta eine Schaar von etwa 150 Mann und zog über Lukavac in der Richtung gegen Montenegro. Feldmarschall-Lieutenant Schauer, Commandant der XVIII. Infanterie-Truppen-Division zu Mostar, bestätigte gleichfalls die täglich zunehmende Unsicherheit, sowie dass eineVerstärkung der Besatzungen in Gacko und Nevesinje dringend nothwendig sei, sollten sich nicht auch die noch gutgesinnten Elemente den allenthalben in der Bildung begriffenen Cetas anschliessen. Diesen Verhältnissen gegenüber stellte das General-Commando zu Sarajevo am 5. Jänner 1882 telegrafisch den Antrag an das Reichs-Kriegs- Ministerium, die sofortige Zudisponirung der, im Berichte vom 1. Decem ber für die Hercegovina erbetenen 7 Bataillone zu veranlassen, zugleich aber Vorsorge zu treffen, dass für den Fall einer allgemeinen Insurrection, ein weiterer, geschlossener Körper (Gebirgs-Brigade) für eventuelle Opera tionen verfügbar werde.", "144 mit 150 Insurgenten am 19. daselbst einen Raub ausgeführt und sodann unter dem Schutze der Nacht in unbekannter Richtung abgezogen sei, constatirte das Vorhandensein von Banden in diesem Gebiete. Während die Truppen der 6. Gebirgsbrigade vornehmlich in dem B.aume nördlich Bilek streiften und hiebei im Monate März am Svorcan und auf der Troglava bei Korito, dann bei Vrbica wiederholt auf Insur genten stiessen, hatten Abtheilungen der 2. Gebirgsbrigade über Befehl des Truppen-Commandos an der am 8. und 9. März erfolgten Besetzung der Krivosije Theil genommen. J) Auch waren im Laufe des Monats März mehrere Streifungen in das Grenzgebirge ausgeführt worden, in welchem sich die aus der Krivosije vertriebenen Insurgenten eingenistet hatten. Dabei war es am 21. März bei Krstati do und am 24. auf der Triglava zu Zusammenstössen gekommen, welche an und für sich nicht bedeutend waren. Von der richtigen Ueberzeugung ausgehend, dass nur eine unmittelbar an die hercegovinisch- montenegrinische Grenze vor geschobene Cordons - Aufstellung dem Verkehre der Insurgenten über dieselbe ein wirksames Ende bereiten könnte, unternahm der General stabs-Chef der Division, Major des Generalstabs-Corps von Forstner, unter dem Schutze streifender Abtheilungen die Recognoscirung des Grenzgebietes von Gubar bis Kosmac. Die hierauf vom Major Forstner gestellten Anträge wurden vom General-Major von Kober und Feldmarschall-Lieutenant Br. Jovanovic in allen Punkten genehmigt und bildeten die Grundlage zur Regelung der Cordons -Linie, an deren Durchführung jedoch erst dann geschritten werden konnte, sobald die nothwendigsten Nothunterkünfte hergestellt sein würden, und eine bessere Witterung den bleibenden Aufenthalt von Abtheilungen auf den Höhen gestattete.

VII the present edition ; for not only has every chapter been carefully revised by the author and not a few considerably amplified, but that entitled \" Practical Hints to English Residents in Italy,\" has been specially written for it by M. Hamilton. The two chapters on \" The Riviera in Olden Days,\" and \" British Opei'ations on the Riviera in the Eighteenth Century \" are also new. There are only two other points to which I wish here to allude : 1st, to state that the Latin and Italian docu ments, to which reference is made in Chapters X. and XL, Part II. (where translations of the latter are to be found), are given in extenso in the French edition, in which they may be studied by any who wish to do so; and 2ndly, to tender my most sincere thanks to those friends whose kindly and valuable help has enabled me to place these translations before my readers, and who, at my request, readily undertook a task entailing both labour and patience, owing to the peculiar and technical character of the Italian in which they are expressed.

But these extreme temperatures, taken on the grass bathed in dew, have but little influence on human beings, and are therefore without interest to our winter visitors. The sudden cold in the early morning, however, is but a passing and limited phenomenon. To take it into account in observations especially prepared to give a true idea of our climate, would be but to lead the reader into ei*ror ; for this temperature is never experienced by those who enter their houses at ten or eleven at night, neither can it penetrate their windows and reach them in their apartment. Baise yourself ten or fifteen feet from the ground, or place yourself against the wall of a house, and this sudden chill will have no effect upon you ; there the first minimum of the evening, of which I have already spoken, remains perceptibly the whole of the night. It is this minimum, then, which it is necessary for us to register when commencing our observations ; the other may offer a certain amount of interest to the horticulturist and the florist, but only to them, and has no bearing whatever on the climate of a wintering place medically considered. However, this sudden fall of temperature, which, I may7 add, never takes place unless the weather is extremely fine, is not without its advantages: it is the forerunner aud infallible sign of a warm and beautiful day. The Meteorological Congress has laid down a rule that the position for a thermometer is under the shelter of a louvre-screened cage, about four feet from the ground.", "311 FLORA.

The Carouba or Locust Bean Tree came originally from the East, but it has been acclimatized throughout the whole of the Mediterranean coast. Its long beans, which have a sweet flavour, form an admirable food for horses. The tree is only cultivated on a large scale in the Levant, on the African coast, and in the island of Corsica, whence the locust beans are exported in large quantities. On this coast it has sprung up spontaneously at Eza and on the territory of Monaco, but Bordighera possesses only a few specimens of any size. According to a tradition pre served by the Eastern Church, the locust beans were the food of St. John the Baptist in the desert ; from which the Germans give the tree the name of Johanisbrodbaum. If, however, this was the fact, it would be necessary to alter the word locusts into locust beans in the English version of the New Testament, and to change sauterelles in the French translations into caroubes. However, the word d/.pt? which is used by the Evangelists, most clearly means locusts, whilst at the same time we know that the true name of the Carouba or Locust-tree Bean, tceparia, (which Linne has turned into Ceratonia), was familiar to them, as we find it used in Luke xv. 13, in the parable of" ]

[ "M>er die Geschichte Livlands im Geiste an sich vorüberziehen läßt und all' die Wechselfälle sich vergegenwärtigt, die in guten und büfen Tagen das kleine Land betroffen haben, wird erfchcn, daß es hauptfächlich eine Urfache war, welche die Schuld trug , daß eine feste Stlllltmbildung hier auf die Dauer nicht bestehen tonnte. An Viel herrfchaft ist das Land zu Grunde gegangen; im ganzen Verlauf seiner Geschichte hat es nie zu völliger Einheit gelangen können und nie ward ihm das Glück zu Theil, unter der mächtigen Hand eines einheimischen Herrschers geeint, nach innen und außen als Ganzes in sich gesichert dazustehen. Stets geboten viele zu gleicher Zeit. Schon als die deutsche Kolonie in Livland — die östliche Vormauer des heiligen römischen Reiches deutscher Nation — in's Leben trat, stan den Orden und Geistlichkeit neben und gegen einander; dann wuchsen die Städte zu stolzer Unabhängigkeit heran, nur widerwillig ihren Herren sich beugend, stets bereit, dem anzuhangen, der die grüßten Vortheile bot, stark durch ihre Zugehörigkeit zur Hanse, eifersüchtig wachend auf ihre Sonderrechte und Privilegien; da hätte es wohl Noth gethan, daß ein Fürst mit entschiedenem Willen und scharfem Schwert sich über all jene kleinen Mächte zum Herrn auswarf und in ähnlicher Weife wie einst das erlauchte Gefchlecht der Hohenzollern in Brandenburg, nach festem Plan, mit unbeugsamer Entschlossenheit die Einigung des Ganzen vollzog. Ein König von Livland, von deutschem Geblüt, als Herr der deut schen Herren des Landes, hätte dem Ostseestaat die Zukunft gesichert ; aber als es noch Zeit dazu war, erstand er dem Lande nicht; erst als alle Bedingungen für eine felbftständige Existenz des Staates gefchwunden waren, hat die Ironie des Schicksals Livland einen König gegeben. Nicht einen König wie das Land ihn brauchte, in der Zeit der Be drängniß einen tr'iegstundigen erfahrenen, erprobten Mann, der das Land Hütte schützen können, sondern einen Jüngling, fast möchte man", "130 Wie sie etwa um die Mitte des 16. Jahrh, in Kurland, das damals der äußeren Politik Großlivlands am fernsten stand, auf dem Lande sich entwickelt hatten. Die Quellen freilich zu einem Bilde, wie es uns vorfchwebt, liegen weit ab. Verstreute Notizen der Zeitgenossen, die sie beiläufig hinwarfen, Gerichtsurtunden, Testamente, alte Wirthschaftsbücher, und wo das Glück gut ist, Privatbriefe im Concept oder im Original er halten, geben das Material und fügen nur bei eingehender Kenntniß der äußeren Gefchichte jener Zeit sich zu einem Ganzen zufammen. Lückenhaft zwar wird eine Darstellung, wie sie hier versucht wird, immer bleiben, aber selbst in ihrer Lückenhaftigkeit lehrt sie uns doch den Gedankenkreis kennen, in dem unfere Altvordern ,ich bewegten, die täglichen Sorgen und Freuden, die mehr als außergewöhnliche Ereig nisse dem Menfchen ihr Siegel aufdrücken. Der Wanderer, der die große Heerstraße nahm, die von Preußen durch Kurland nach Livland führte, durchzog ein Gebiet, dessen äußeres Ansehen wesentlich verschieden war von dem Kurland unserer Tage. Schon die Reise an sich war bedeutend beschwerlicher. Die Zeitgenossen wissen nicht genug zu klagen über die schlechten Wege, den gefährlichen Uebergang über die Flüsse im Herbst und im Frühling, wenn die Gewässer anschwollen. Nur seltene Brücken führten hinüber, man tonnte von Glück fagen. wenn man eine Fähre zur Stelle fand, fönst mußte eine Furth gesucht werden. Im Winter auf dem Schlitten wege ging es noch am Besten, wenn das Eis feine natürliche Brücke i'.!i.r die Flüsse geworfen hatte. Dazu war das Land in noch ganz anderem Maaße als heute mit Wäldern bedeckt, in denen damals Bär, Wolf und Luchs zu Haufe waren. Auch scheint man nicht immer sicher gewesen zu sein vor feindlichen Ueberfällcn, befonders wenn irgend eine Fehde im Lande ausgebrochen war, etwa wenn Orden und Erzbifchof in Hader lagen und in Folge dessen Bischof und Vögte sich bekriegten, dann reiste man am Liebsten unter dem Geleite des nächsten Komturs oder Vogtes, denn überall im Lande er hoben sich an geeigneter Statte, von Graben und Mauern umgeben, die Burgen des Ordens und noch heute zeugen die erhaltenen Ruinen von vergangener Macht und Herrlichkeit. Um die Mitte des 16. Jahr hunderts standen aber noch all die Mauern und Säulen aufrecht, die heute gefuntm find und in ihnen Wogte und fchäumte es von Kampf", "149 72) Jacob Tode, Mannrichtei in Kuilanth.

The second object which the Government like wise proposes to itself, and which it conceives to be the first means of arriving at its principal aim, is that each of the provinces indicated should enter upon a system of peace, to be maintained by the towns, and by those who govern them ; so that, endeavouring to establish public and indi vidual security, and applying themselves to find out with accuracy the resources of their respec tive treasuries, they may govern wisely, and em ploy their population and wealth to the best ad vantage.

In this manner, in this year, the concourse of foreigners, capitals, and artisans ' of different kinds, has increased in my country in a two-fold ratio ; and her commerce, as well exterior as in terior, has become so wonderfully extended, that, without the necessity of augmenting any of the taxes, but on the contrary adopting always a gradual reduction in the dues on importation, the products of the Custom-house in 1824 have exceeded those of 1823 by a fifth.

By the meteorological tables of Lima, published by Doctor Unanue, in his admirable work on the climate of that capital, which were made out for the years 1799 and 1800, it is found that the greatest degree of heat in Lima is 20-f* of Reaumur, or 77° of Fahrenheit, and the lowest i3° of Reaumur, or 61° of Fahrenheit. The mercury sank in the greatest cold known in Philadelphia 5\" below zero, and it is even asserted to have gone as low as 22° below zero.

It is our idea, so far as possible, to postpone the serious study of such branches to the post-graduate schools. Young people must get a smattering of things in general, but really theirs is not the time of life for ardent and effective study.

But in this revolution it was the agriculturists who were in the van. This fact alone should have sufficiently foreshadowed the swift course and certain issue of the struggle. At the beginning of the battle the capitalists had lost their reserves. \"At about the beginning of the nineties the revolutionary movement first prominently appears in the political field. For twenty years after the close of the civil war the surviving ani mosities between North and South mainly determined party lines, and this fact, together with the lack of agreement on a definite policy, had hitherto prevented the forces of industrial discontent from making any striking political demonstration. But toward the close of the eighties the diminished bitterness of feeling between North and South left the people free to align themselves on the new issue, which had been steadily looming up ever since the war, as the irrepressible conflict of the near future — the struggle to the death between democracy and plutocracy, betAveen the rights of man and the tyranny of capital in irresponsible hands. \" Although the idea of the public conduct of economic enter prises by public agencies had never previously attracted attention or favour in America, yet already in 1890, almost as soon as it began to be talked about, political parties favouring its applica tion to important branches of business had polled heavy votes. In 1892 a party, organised in nearly every State in the Union, cast a million votes in favour of nationalising at least the rail roads, telegraphs, banking system, and other monopolised busi nesses. Two years later the same party showed large gains, and in 1896 its platform was substantially adopted by one of the great historic parties of the country, and the nation divdded nearly equally on the issue. \"The terror which this demonstration of the strength of the party of social discontent caused among the possessing class seems at this distance rather remarkable, seeing that its demands, while attacking many important capitalist abuses, did not as yet directly assail the principle of the private control of capital as the root of the whole social evil No doubt, what alarmed the capitalists even more than the specific propositions of the social insurgents were the signs of a settled popular exasperation against them and all their works, which indicated that what was now called for was but the beginning of what would be demanded later.

But, of course, although the public conduct of business, even if it were marked with a certain amount of cor ruption, would still be more economical for the community than leaving it under the profit system, yet no self-respecting com munity Avould wish to tolerate any public corruption at all, and need not, if only the people would exercise vigilance. Now, what will compel the people to exercise vigilance as to the public administration ? The closeness with which we follow the course of an agent depends on the importance of the interests put in his hands. Corruption has always thriven in political departments in which the mass of the people have felt little direct concern. Place under public administration vital concerns of the com munity touching their welfare daily at many points, and there will be no further lack of vigilance. Had they been wiser, the people who objected to the governmental assumption of new economic functions on account of existing political corruption would have advocated precisely that policy as the specific cure for the evil. \"A reason why these objectors seem to have been especially short-sighted is the fact that by all odds the most serious form which political corruption took in America at that day was the bribery of legislators by private capitalists and corporations in order to obtain franchises and privileges. In comparison with this abuse, peculation or bribery of crude direct sorts were of little extent or importance. Now, the immediate and express effect of the governmental assumption of economic businesses would be, so far as it went, to dry up this source of corruption, for it was precisely this class of capitaUst undertakings which the revolutionists proposed first to bring under public control. \" Of course, this objection was directed only against the new order while in process of introduction. With its complete estab lishment the very possibility of corruption would disappear with the law of absolute uniformity governing all incomes. \" Worse and worse,\" I exclaimed. \" What is the use of going further?\" \"Patience,\" said the doctor. \"Let us complete the subject while we are on it.

[ "REPORT OF THE SOUTH SHIELDS COMMITTEE. 28 Day and night it continues to discharge at the rate of 5Jth hogsheads per minute,* and six years ago was more than double that amount.*)* On the 14th January, 1841, the shaft brattice of St. Hilda Pit, on the Tyne, was burnt, and the ventilation thereby destroyed ; five days afterwards the underground workings of the mine, full 70 miles in gallery extent, were so filled with partially diluted gas, which ascended to the surface in such quantities that around the pit mouth the fires had to be extinguished, and operations were obliged to be carried on in the shaft with safety- lamps for precaution against the dormant earthquake below. An accident from a sudden emission of gas having occurred on the 2nd February, 1841, at Jarrow Colliery, part of the shaft brattice having been destroyed, and the ventilation injured, before it could be restored fully 20 miles of passages, of upwards of 70 feet average area, and more than 7,700,000 cubic feet, were in three days charged with this dreadful combustible. At Earsdon Pit (Northumberland), in the Bensham seam, 104 yards down, when the Committee visited it on the 6th April, 1840, a large staple (a pit within a mine), was being sunk to the low-main. About 50 feet below > the surface of the water in this staple was agitated briskly, as if boiling, by the escape of gas ; a light with great caution was lowered into it, when the whole surface became a sheet of flame of nearly 30 feet area. It continued to blaze brilliantly, catching the gas as it bubbled from below ; now flickering, now again in a bright glare in the most extraordinary manner ; it seemed inexhaustible, and was at length extinguished with some difficulty. This gas, by the observations of Mr. Witham and Mr. Hutton,J appears to be in a highly condensed, if not a liquid state,|| and probably has been forming and accumulating since the earliest period of the coal depositions. Thoua-h from its light specific gravity, this gas escapes into the atmosphere whenever exposed, yet the coal still retains a large portion of it ; a piece of coal in a pail of water will emit it in abundances and instances are on record in which ships laden with coal have been nearly destroyed by its disengagement and explosion. On August the 5th, 1816, the ship \" Flora,\" of London, having just taken a cargo of coals on board in Sunderland harbour, blew up with a terrible explosion; the deck beams were broken, and the decks torn up.«J On July 4th, 1817, the \"Fly,\" of Ely, lying at Brandling-staith, on the Tyne, with a cargo of coals just taken in, the gas from it exploded, burnt the captain in the cabin, tore up part of the deck, threw a boat from the hatches, and did other serious damage. Upon the 21st July, 1839, the sloop \" Enterprise,\" when at sea, with coals from Pem broke to Newport, Isle of Wight, had an alarming explosion, which fortunately only frightened, but did not injure the crew. And the schooner \" Mermaid,\" of Guernsey, upon the 29th August, this year (1842), lying at South Shields, sustained an explosion : she had been laden that day with Hilda coals, and the hatches imme diately battened down ; when six hours after the gas from the coal exploded at the forecastle lamp, one man was knocked down and much burnt in the face, another injured, the mate struck down in the cabin, and a hatch started. A circumstance not undeserving of notice, lightning, in great abundance, was playing in the atmosphere all around the vessel at the time. The Fire-Damp so abundant in coal appears only to require the removal of pressure or high temperature to disengage it ; hence, whenever the pressure of the impervious superincumbent strata is removed by the sinking of a pit, the gas pours cut in the profusion stated, varying according to the condition of the atmosphere. At such time, if mixed with a certain proportion of atmospheric air, from 83 to 94 per cent.,** which is supplied by the ventilation of the mine, and brought into contact with flame or heated metal, it explodes with a force ex ceeding that of gunpowder. In mine explosions of this gas, men have been projected from the shaft like balls from a cannon ; heads, legs, and arms have been found at a great distance from the pit mouth. In the Killing worth explosion in 1806, so graphically described by the distinguished engineer, Stephenson, who was present :tt he saw \" the discharge come out of the pit mouth like the discharge of a cannon — there was wood came up, stones came up, and trusses of hay, that went into the air like balloons ; the ground all round the top of the pit was in a trembling state.\" And Mr. Buddie, in his able evidence at the coroner's inquest on the explosion at Wallsend, in 1835, declared that had the fire gone a little further it would have reached the magazine of about five acres of this gas, and its effects would have been that of an earthquake, and the village of Wallsend on the surface, with 280 yards of the structure of the solid earth between them, might have been destroyed. He states, that at another explosion at the Bow Pit, Harraton, at which he was present, that men were propelled from the mine up the shaft 160 yards deep. \" Everything (he says) was blown away from its mouth.\" Near it \" there was a body cut in two, the trunk and arms without the head were lying 'in one place, and the legs and thighs lying at four or five yards from it. At about 12 yards from the pit there was a body lying without thehead.\"Jt A boy, who had hold of his father's hand at the bottom of the pit, while the father stood accidentally within a niche, was blown up the shaft torn and mangled, while the father escaped. It was this little boy's first day in the pit, and he had just come to his father probably to talk of the strangeness and the many anxieties of his novel situation.

The Committee found the air travelling in this pit, in the chief air passage, at 7 feet per second in an area of 36 feet, giving 252 cubic feet per second ; and the return air, in a passage of 30 feet area, travelling at the same rate of 7 feet per second, having, running parallel to it, a passage of 18 feet area through which part of the returns crept at the rate *G6 of afoot per second, or much under half a mile per hour. A very good rate for preparing an explosice mixture had there been an ordinary disengagement of gas, which, from some pecu liarity was fortunately far from abundant. Whether this was caused by the depth of the mine producing a temperature seldom below 80° Fahrenheit, conjoined with great displacement and confusion of the strata, which may have effected early evolutions of gas, and prevented its accumulation in large quantities by the frequent faults dividing these strata into small impervious enclosures, and so affording, on opening the mine, easy and natural facilities in the heat and disruptions for its escape, or whether from some other cause, it is perhaps difficult to say. The fact is, however, indubitable, and fortunate it is that it is so, for, had the gas been in the same abundance, as in some of the mines already instanced, the very trifling volume of air passed into this mine, on the usual principles of dilution acted en, would, if not improved, in a short time have compelled its relinquishment, by the production of a series of explosions which would hove laid it waste, and deterred the boldest from entering it ; for the only and certain effect of such admixture of air would have been the production of an explosive compound, which, like a slumbering evil spirit, would have swollen in every vein of the mine, concentrated in strength by the increased pressure of the atmosphere from its depth, that neither safety-lamp, candle, nor furnace, could have touched without awakening its terrible power. Less dangerous would it be if the supply of air was reduced to the minimum proportion, with more than one-fourth, or 25 per cent, of gas, which would place it above the explosive point, for such imperfect ventilation as that only affords the food that gives life to the dangerous preparation. The following is an extract from the minutes of a visit by the Committee to another extensive colliery, that were written at the time. It displays the daily condition of the mine, which is so much in accordance with the usual principles of operation in the great coal district, that no means are taken to produce a change : — \" The depth to the ' high main' is about 600 feet. This mine has two distinct pits— a downcast, about 11 feet diameter, and upcast 8 feet diameter — placed from each other, distant on the surface about 200 yards. Near the bottom of the downcast, within a few yards, found a lamp-room, beyond which no one was allowed to pass with a naked light (all Davy-lamps), for which there is great necessity, as in the ' high main' it is now oil pillar working, with goaves all around, right and left. We went straight to the working parties, at a consider able distance (passed in our course through a whinstone-dyke running nearly east and west, about fifteen fathoms thick), the passage to which had a small velocity of air, the rate of which could not, of course, be tried in this mine in the usual way, as neither explosion of gunpowder nor measure by candle could be attempted in its surcharged atmosphere ; but the air scarcely bent the flame of the lamp from its perpendicular, or was per ceptible to the senses. It scaled off (the deputy stated) into the imperfectly stopped goaves on one side of the passage ; the goaves on the other side being more carefully stopped. The object was to get a pressure of air upon the goaves from the men, that the gas might be kept in its reservoirs or gently expelled into the returns on the other side of the goaves. • • * * But the day before, from negligence of some party to a door which had been left open, such current as there was had been diverted into another direction, and the consequence was that that very morning the workings then visited had been fouled ; the gas having come off the goaves backward. It was, however, observed, the workmen mere kept back till the current was set right, and the furnace increased for a stronger ventilation, when this insidious foe returned to its lurking place, and the men were then going on as usual.\" It is unnecessary to accumulate statements of more proofs. Nothing can more clearly show than the instances just adduced the insufficiency of the practice, mode, and extent of the general system of ventilation pursued in the northern mines, although occasionally, as at Wallsend, it may be more skilfully applied.* Had there been a more perfect and fuller system in operation in any, humanity and interest, to say nothing of public opinion, would have influenced its adoption in these ; or, the workmen, amongst whom at the present day are men of intelligence, would, in self-preservation, have compelled the improvement, or sought for such security in safer mines. The Committee are, therefore, obliged, from a strong sense of public duty, to record their conviction, derived from personal inspection of many mines, and the fullest official information of many others, that the system and rate of ventilation of the mines in this extensive Coal District require a great and important change; for, if allowed to continue, there is scarce a single mine amongst them, with one or two rare excep tions, that in a day or hour may not be plunged by some easy contingency into a destructive explosion : and that this state of things is produced by too few shafts to the extent of underground workings, and the consequent slow rate of air which is produced to sweep the passages, rapidly to remove or fully to dilute the gas. More Shafts and more Air. More shafts and more air are the only certain remedy, the Committee are persuaded, for this unsafe condi tion of these mines. This opinion is sustained by practical men, some of them of great eminence. R. Smith, Esq., a mining engineer, employed extensively in the Staffordshire mines, and formerly in those of Portugal, and who brought into operation the dangerous mines of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, states, on ♦Wallsend possesses at this time about 75,000 cubic feet of air per minute for about 1..0 acres excavation, through three shafts one 8 feet 9 inches, and two each 6 feet diameter, the whole being unequal in area to a 14-feet pit In the mam air-course of the' chief pit (64 feet area) the air travels at the rate of 10 9 feet per second, and no course is longer than four wiles ; notwith standing, in the bords, the rate will be found below the amount stated by Messrs. Buddie and Wood. M", "102 EVIDENCE BEFORE THE Chairman : Then you require two shafts ?— No, one ; in this case I think they had in that pit a great many shafts, either four or five shafts ; but they found they were not all necessary. I think one of them has been closed, or if used it is only occasionally so. With the steam-jet you require both a downcast and upcast ? — Yes. By the system of brattices you could do with a single shaft, with the downcast on one side and the upcast on the other ?— It is always obliged to be done with a brattice where there is only one shaft ; on one side goes cold air ; then there is from 3* to 4 inches of deal, forming the brattice, and on the other side is the upcast, up which comes the heated air. Is that safe ? — It is exceedingly dangerous. Mr. Booker : Here is a little work which has been put in my hands this morning, upon the subject of this Seaton Delaval Colliery ; I wish to ask you, are you of opinion that the effect of steam-jets is certain and unerring, or rather that it is uncertain and capricious? — I think it is certain in itself and unerring, but the conditions of the mine are perpetually changing ; the fall of the barometer and various operations within the interior of the mine may produce a change, though you are driving your air perhaps 80,000 or 100,000 feet the minute ; the gas will then pour out from every crevice of the coal, and a fall in the goaf, perhaps, takes place ; the whole of your ventilation may require to be changed ; you can do this by the power of the jet. As to economy, are you of opinion that the jet is cheaper than the furnace ? — I am of opinion the jet is cheaper; you get an infinitely greater proportion of results from it. Have you seen the report of Professor Phillipps on this subject ? — I have not. I believe, in page 25, his opinion is given ; have you seen it? — No. Are you aware that at the Seaton Delaval Colliery, and others which are mentioned, experiments were made by furnace and by the steam-jets ; as to Seaton Delaval Colliery, the steam-jet and the boiler fire of an underground engine, according to this table, produced no result, but failed alone, whilst the furnace alone produced 50,909 cubic feet of air per minute, and the furnace and the jet, together combined, produced 79,853 cubic feet per minute. Are you aware of those experiments ? — I have heard something of them, and I tried some experiments myself. Could you explain them, as you speak of the unerring and certain effect of the jet? — Unerring so far, that without the jet you cannot raise your ventilation there according even to Professor Phillipps. This is a table of experiments at Seaton Delaval ? — Producing about 50,000 cubic feet per minute. That was by the furnace alone ? — By the jet without any furnace except such as may be required to keep the steam force up. By that alone you get 95,000 feet without any furnace at all. Whilst in that position the steam jets and boiler fire and the underground engine produced no result, but failed until the furnace was brought in aid, and then combined they produced 79,000 feet ? — They had no furnace and jet combined at all when I was down ; they had merely the fire that was required to keep the boiler operating and the steam up ; they could not, of course, get their steam without fire, and the application of that produced double the quantity of ventilation, or nearly double ; from 53,000 with the furnace, to 95,000 with the jet. Mr. Taylor made some experiments similar to those of Professor Phillipps, and did not give time for the momentum of the column to cease. They, consequently, produced erroneous conclusions. Where was that ? — At Seaton Delaval, the very mine you spoke of. Mr. Child : This was merely the surplus steam from the water in the boiler ? — The surplus, the boiler being worked higher. At a pressure of 32 ? — About 35 lbs. to the inch when I was there. Mr. Booker : Professor Phillipps, in his Eeport (page 23) gives a statement of the quantity of air which circulates in 10 of the northern collieries, and the weight of coal consumed in generating this current, the average of which he shows to be 18*831 cubic feet of air per minute, for every ton of coal consumed in 24 hours by the furnace ; and, according to the experiments, a table of which is given here, it appears that 20 tons of coals, by high pressure steam-jet ventilation, would be required to produce the same effect as is caused by the furnace with one ton. This is a reprint from the \"Mining Journal,\" and said to be transcribed from Professor Phillipps' Eeport, at page 23. Will you do me the favour of looking at it? — The viewer of the mine will tell you rather a different story ; I think he will show you that a very little more consumption of coal is required both to work the jet and the engine. There will be somewhat more consumption, but he gets that immense quantity of air for it ; and I understood him distinctly to say, and the resident engineer also, that the quan tity of coal consumed bore no proportion to its results ; that is to say, the furnace could not have produced by any combination of furnace power, or any quantity of coal, that result upon the mine. Then, after practical experiments, your opinion is that a steam jet is decidedly a more certain and a more efficient instrument for ventilation than a furnace ? — I distinctly think so. I can give two other cases : we have in the North two large alkali works, and those alkali works used to pour forth about 40 tons of muriatic acid gas every week ; the parties in the rural district were perpetually at legal war with the manufacturers • actions were being laid constantly, and their proprietors were never at a cost of less than £300 a year for damages ; but after the steam jet was adopted in their works, they have not paid a farthing damages since The effect of this steam jet is, to supersede chimneys of above 200 feet high, to produce a current of air and to absorb the muriatic acid gas by drawing it through water, and pouring upon it a current of water perpetually as it ascends. They drive the jet through a cone into the ground ; they lay the chimney as a drain upon the ground, and the jet draws this injurious gas up through a descending current of 24 feet of perpetually falling water. They draw this muriatic acid gas through such a column, and drive it into the earth along the drain ■ it never appears upon the surface at all. You can walk in the yard where the aperture is open with comfort when every other power human ingenuity could devise failed to produce security to their works, and which indeed they once thought of discontinuing from the annoyance they created ; the steam jet being applied they are now as healthy manufactures, and as free from public injury, as any in that district." ]

The Palace. — The Archbishop's palace, which was also called the castle,* and was the manor house, stands on the bank of the river between the church and bridge. According to Philipott the manor and castle of Maidstone belonged to the Cornhill family, and were given by Wm. de Cornhill, in the 7th year of John, to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Ste phen Langton.* Archbishop Ufford commenced the rebuilding of the house in 1348, and it was finished by Islip from the materials of an archiepiscopal man sion at Wrotham. Henry the VI. in the sixteenth year of his reign, visited Archbishop Chichely at this house. It was repaired and enlarged by Morton, in 1486. Several of the Archbishops appear to have resided here, among them are, Courtney and Stafford who died in this house, and Cranmer who honoured Maidstone with his especial regard ; he gave this palace and manor in exchange to Henry the VIII., who, in 1542, granted them to Sir Thomas Wiat of Allington, whose son, Sir Thomas, forfeited them for rebellion against Mary. The palace was granted by Philipott's Villare Cantianum.", "PERSONS OF NOTE. 33 PERSONS OF NOTE BORN IN, OR OTHERWISE CONNECTED WITH THE TOWN. There appears to have been formerly a family of some importance, which took its surname from this place. Ralph de Maydenstane died bishop of Here ford in 1244. In the 4th year of the reign of Edward the IV., Walter de Maydenstane obtained the king's licence to embattle his mansion in the town of Maydenstane: he was made bishop of Worcester in 1313, and died in 1317. Ralph de Maydenstane, and Richard de Maydenstane, were among the cele brated writers of the middle of the 14th century. In 1367, William de Maydenstane was abbot, and Walter de Maydenstane one of the monks of Fa versham abbey. Thomas de Maydestane was a canon of Leeds priory in 1397. Weever speaks of a monu ment in Ulcomb church with this inscription, \" Here lyeth William de Maydenstone Esq., who died April 8th, 1429.\" In Caxton's life, mention is made of Clement de Maydestane, a priest, who copied the Ordinal by way of penance.* Sir John Mansell, who was rector of this parish and died in 1264, appears to have been an important personage in his time, and a great favorite of his sovereign, Henry the III. His ecclesiastical revenues are stated to have been nearly 4000 marks, so numerous and rich were the benefices he enjoyed.

It might be supposed that such a man as this had nought to do with vanity ; but, if I mistake not, Yorke has no little pride in the know ledge that all others regard him as one who is not as they are ; and, moreover, he seems \"fond of the music of his own sweet voice.\" At length, having obtained his pax vobiscum, we proceeded to the ruins of Tiiurxiiam Castle, which stand on the chalk hill just above the village : a portion of the foundation of the outer wall, and some fragments of the entrance, which was towards the north-east, now alone remain to \"demand and taunt the stranger's eye.\" There are several opinions with regard to the time of the erection of Thorne Castle. Kilburne says, that it was founded in Stephen's reign by Sir Leonard God dard; some suppose it to have been a Saxon fortifica tion, and others a watch-tower and station of the Romans.* The last opinion is, in some degree, con firmed by the numerous relics of that nation which have been dug up about this hill ; besides, the exist ing remains bear marks of a much greater antiquity than that Kilburne concedes to them ; for even the flints of which they are built are completely eaten into by time and exposure to the weather.

How little could the early settlers or pioneers have dreamt of such astonishing progress. How little could they have imagined that within 86 years the sports and pastimes of Old England would so take root and flourish in these new countries that Austialia would be able to invite eleven of the best cricketers of England to visit her shores to test the progress which her sons in the antipodes have made in the noble game.

This method of mixing majestic and paltry titles, of quartering the arms of a great empire, and an obscure province, upon the same medal here, had its rise in the virtuous partiality of their late mo narchs. Willing to testify an affection to their na tive country, they gave its name and ensigns a place upon their coins, and thus in some measure ennobled its obscurity. It was indeed but just, that a people which had given England up their king, should re ceive some honorary equivalent in return ; but at present these motives are no more ; England has now a monarch wholly British, and has some reason to hope for British titles upon British coins.

[We are indebted to Miss FitzGibbon for a copy of the Cobourg Star of February 7th, 1838, in which appears, under the above title, an epitome, from one point of view, of Rebellion events. Its humours make it a fitting introduction for the papers which follow. ] \" Now puny discord first And fools rebelled ; but rst broke out, but what about They could not tell. There lived in famed Toronto town A man not very big, Now John a so-so clerk had got — A Janus-looking elf, Who cared for nothing else of earth But sleeping and himself. A belted knight was he likewise, — Knight of the old bay wig. Mackenzie was this hero called, From Scotia's land he came, To sow and reap -if e'er he could— The seeds of future fame. Glenelg was snoring in his chair - His custom every day — Then up he got and rubbed his eyes To brush the sleep away. Well taught was he to broil and scold, To slander and to lie, The good to libel — but the bad Around him close to tie. Said he, \" Rebellion is our love, In it we do delight ; So now you may go back again, We'll soon set things to right ; A precious clan this hero got To join him in the cause Of Freedom, which but truly meant Upturning of our laws. \" For you and all the world must know, By it our place we keep,\" But scarcely had he spoke these words When he was fast asleep. And when he'd slept ten months or so, He called him for a pen ; But long before it ready was He'd sunk to sleep again. He travelled all the country round, With grievances his cry ; Then off to father John, at home, Right quickly did he hie. And then he told so many lies That John began to stare ; And eke he talked so very large That John began to swear. Now goodman Stephen in his ear In whispering accents said — \" Both pens and paper now, my Lord, Are on your table laid.\" Then out Mackenzie pulled the roll Us those who did complain ; And for redress of grievances He bawled with might and main. So quick he took the gray goose-quill, And wrote a neat despatch ; Says he, \" I think that that, at least, Their Tory wiles will match.", "85 THE CANADAS AT WESTMINSTER. swallow a flail. \"The foolish fellow with the curls has absolutely touched him,\" says a contemporary writer. \" Make way, good people, the bull is coming — chained or loose, right or wrong, he can stand it no longer; with one lashing bound he clears every obstacle — there he is, with tail erect and head depressed, snorting in the middle of the arena.\" The eyes flash, the brows gather, the dark iron grey hair stands up rigid, his arm is raised, his voice high ; he is well out of the lush pastures of rhodo montade and diffuseness. The display of his power and the fertility of his mind amazes friend and foe ; for the genius of his fervent intellect includes French cookery, Italian poetry, bees and cell building, and a host of subjects seemingly far removed from law and politics. This must have been knowledge gained at the cost of his profession, for an epigram has it that he knew a little of everything, even of law. \" Brougham, though a Whig, is not a goose,\" says the Nodes. Certainly \" the whipster peer \" who was so lately defiant does not look as if he thought so, as his late pretty bits of rhetoric rattle about his own ears. Sarcasm on his tongue, bile in his heart, Brougham talks pure vitriol, and everywhere a word falls a scar remains. His foes accused him of being \" one of those juggling fiends \" \"Who never spoke before, But cried, ' I warned you,' when the event is o'er.\" He contended that his conduct on the Canadian question had been \" impudently, falsely and foully aspersed.\" So far from being a juggling fiend who did not warn until the event was o'er, instead of standing by and not giving a timely warning, he had, not less than ten months before, standing", "226 HUMOURS OF '37.

Oh, vain was the strife of the struggling few With a well-armed murderous band ; For the gallant barque, with her blood-drenched crew.

As over the shelving rocks she broke And plunged in her turbulent grave, The slumbering Genius of Freedom woke, Baptized in Niagara's wave, And sounded her warning toesin far From Atlantic's shore to polar star.\" A careful computation from pages of prose, almost as flowery as the foregoing lines and oftentimes breaking into rhyme from a very luxuriousness of idea and rhythm, puts the lives aboard the Caroline at about ninety-nine in number. Thirty-three were killed and missing ; thirtj7 three were towed into the middle of the stream when the boat was fired, and with her went over the ledge ; there were also thrilling cries from \" the living souls \" on board, plus \"wails of the dying,\" presumably thirty-three" ]

The whole of the business is very clearly and candidly detailed in the second volume of Char levoix's Histoire et Description du Japan, page 465 — a detail highly deserving the notice both of our own Government and the India Company, as it plainly manifests that the ordinances, which operate against a renewed intercourse, might be removed without much difficulty. Perhaps if a commer cial intercourse were established with Loo-Choo, so well described in the recent works on the Chi nese Embassy, the jealousy of the Japanese, with respect to us as foreigners and christians, might be gradually softened so as to render subsequent ne gociations certain ofsuccess. Our limits do not permit any thing beyond a sketch of the most material points respecting this attempt at renewed intercourse, it must suffice therefore to state, that some boats having come along-side on their first arrival off Nangasaki, the", "84 RECOLLECTIONS OF JAPAN. they can always restrain his power within the due bounds.

Hence the higher nobility have profited of that division of power, and have assumed a species of sovereign authority. Many of the rights and duties of the nobility, resemble those of our ancient feudal barons ; they are obliged to maintain a cer tain number of troops, in proportion to their estates, like our own old knight service. To keep these in check, however, the Emperors find it necessary, to raise a certain number of house hold troops who are stationed in the palaces, and the various garrisons of the Empire. The policy of the Emperors has also always been to promote habits of expence amongst the nobility, so as to prevent particular personal aggrandizement and power, that might enflame ambition and endanger public tranquility : and they are obliged to pass great part of each year at the court. Nay, in many instances, their wives and families are kept as hostages, in a kind of splendid imprisonment in the capital. Whenever a noblemen builds an house, he is obliged to make two gates to it, one of which is always very highly orna mented, and then cased up until the Emperor shall pay him a visit, when it is opened with great form and ceremony, and shut again for ever. The nobility, like the feudal barons, have right of wardship, and regulate the marriages of their vassals ; and are themselves bound to receive a wife from the hands of the sovereign. — Ed.", "167 PRODUCTIONS.

I have before mentioned, that habit has rendered tea one of the first necessaries of life among the Japanese. Japan produces both green and black tea.*f The first is considered as the best; * Kœmpfer says that the acorns are boiled and eaten by the lower classes. He speaks also of a tree called the Naatsme, or Paliurus, which has a very fine fruit. The Japanese vessels are said to be very lasting ; not from any particular attention to their trees with respect to barking, but from the system of hauling their vessels on shore, after they have been in the water, and burning both sides as high as the water line, until covered with a coat of charcoal, in order to preserve them from the worm. It is extremely probable, and .deserving of investigation, that this protects them also from the dry rot so destructive to the British navy. — Ed. f The Japanese tea tree is described, by Kœmpfer, as having leaves like the cherry, with a flower like a wild rose. It grows, in the most sterile places, to tbe height of about six feet. It is an evergreen. When fresh, the leaves have no smell, but a very astringent taste. Throughout Japan, the tea-kettle stands on the fire from morning till night. So much importance do the Japanese attach to the genteel service of tea, that masters are actually employed to teach the young people all the forms and ceremonies, like dancing masters in Europe.— Ed." ]

All kinds of am bitions and motives have been ascribed to him. Many a burly, red-faced farmer, who boasts of an unbroken agricultural lineage reaching back into the reign of Good Queen Bess, will tell you over his beer that the Alderman's doings are all gammon; that they are all to advertise his cutlery business in Leadenhall Street, Barnum fashion ; to inveigle down to Tiptree Hall noblemen, foreign ambassadors, and great people of different countries, and bribe \"an honorable mention\" out of them with champagne treats and oyster suppers. Indeed, my Quaker host largely participated in this opinion, and took no pains to conceal it when speaking of his enterprising neighbor.

Oestreich besaß in der Person dcs Erzherzogs Johann einen populären Fürsten. Confessionelle Sympathiem, die Geschichte wie die am Rhein und in Süddcutschland keineswegs erloschene Erinnerung spra chen für Habsburg. Dazu kam, daß sich die östreichische Ne gierung, wie das östreichische Volk niemals einem preußi schen Reichsverweser gefügt hätten, die östreichischen Abgeord neten in Frankfurt einem solchen niemals ihre Zustimmung ge geben hätten. Für Oestreich sprachen noch andere Gründe. Viele Mitglieder der Versammlung hofften damals die deutsch-östrei chischen Länder für Deutschland gewinnen zu können, indem man das Kaiserhaus an die Spitze Deutschlands stellte, es war damals nicht unwahrscheinlich, daß Italien und Ungarn den Habsburger« verloren gingen , viele waren dcr Ansicht die Empörung von jener, die Unterstützung von unsrer Seite könnte in Wien vielleicht den Erfolg haben, daß man dort die Stel lung einer selbständigen Großmacht, die außerdeutschen Länder aufgäbe, um an die Spitze des neuen Deutschlands zu treten. Es war gewiß Großes erreicht wenn es gelang dadurch die ganze Nation zu einigen, wenn Oestreich durch eine entschie dene Wendung nach Deutschland, durch eine Beschränkung auf die deutschen Länder zugleich die unerläßliche Garantie einer wirklich deutschen Politik gegeben hätte. Aber welche Stel lung sollte Preußen dann einnehmen?

Cinige Gesetze der Versammlung wurden in Preußen publicirt, andere nicht. In Berlin wie in Frankfurt war es die Hoffnung der Wohlge sinnten, die Principfrage umgehen, ihr wenigstens die Spitze abbrechen zu können. Nach dem Aufstande vom 18. September wurde unsre Partei einen Schritt weiter getrieben. In jenen gefahrvollen Tagen ward das Bedürfniß einer enger als bisher verbundenen Ma jorität, einer Majorität, welche entschlossen war das damalige Ministerium Schmerling zu unterstützen und zu halten, mehr als jemals zuvor empfunden. Die uns am nächsten verwandten Fractionm des Landsberger und des Augsburger Hofes wei gerten sich ein festes Cartell zu jenem Zwecke mit dem rechten Centrum einzugehen, falls wir uns nicht auf einen Boden mit ihnen stellten, falls wir nicht erklärten, nach vorheriger Verständigung mit den Regierungen die letzte Entscheidung über die Verfassung der Versammlung beizulegen. Und es war weder Eigenliebe noch Souverünitätsschwindel, noch Lust an der eigenen Macht, welche die patriotischen Männer jener Parteien zu diesem Verlangen trieb; es war die Bcsorgniß für das Zustandekommen und den Abschluß des Werks, es war keine Frage der Volks- oder Füistmsouveränität bei ihnen, es war eine Frage dcs Vaterlandes.

Ils la plaçaient dans toutes leurs descriptions de lieuxqu'ils voulaient rendre agréa bles. Nos romanciers et nos chansonniers n'auraient pas écrit sur lc printemps sans parler des flors de glay. S'ils aimaient tant cette fleur, il nc faut pas s'étonner de les voir donner son nom à un en droit où, d'ailleurs, tout lc fait présumer, la plante croissait cn abondance.

II est situé sur la Velpe et sur un ruisseletqui s'y jette. Cette rivière coulant dans un lit argillcux, roule des eaux troubles et limonneuses. II en est tout autrement du ruisseau. Or, klab peut être une altération de klar, clair, limpide. Dans ce cas, IV final de ce mot se sera d'abord absorbé dans la pro nonciation devant le 6 du radical suivant. On aura commencé par dire Kla-bcck, puis Klabbeekct Clabeek. Quant à Suerhempde, c'est aussi une altération de Suerbcemde, qui signifie pré amer, amarum pratum, comme dit Grammayc, Cet endroit ne comptait que 25 maisons en 1526, Ce qui ne doit point étonner, car de mauvaises prairies n'engagent pas l'homme à s'y fixer.

Si l'on examine attentivement les plus vieux noms que ectte com mune a portés depuis le VIIIe siècle jusqu'à la fin du XIIIe, on y voit constamment apparaître le radical hock, pluriel hocken. Or, ce mot, d'après Kilian, représente le mot cors, en bas-latin cortis, curtis. Qu'est-ce donc qu'une cortis? Ducange définit ainsi cc mot : « Est villa, habitatio rustica œdisiciis, colonis, servis, agris, personis ad rem agreslem necessariis instructa , aliàs colonia. » C'est une villa, une habitation au milieu des champs, pourvue de terres, de bâtiments, de colons, de personnes nécessaires à son exploitation, en d'autres termes une colonie. Ce n'est qu'après le XIIe siècle que ce village a pris le nom de Steenockerseel, Ockerseel-le-château. Quant à Ochin, premier radical d'Ochinsala, que l'on pourrait prendre pour un nom propre, il est bon de faire remarquer qu'aux VIIe, VIIIe et IXe siècles, la finale keu du pluriel des mots est géné ralement remplacée par chin, chim. C'est ainsi que l'on trouve La minechin, Mannechim (noms de Lampernesse et de Mannekcnsvere dans la Flandre occidentale), pour Lammeken, Manneken. Hockcnsecle est donc le village de la colonie.

Om Rigsraadet har hort dem, inden det tog sin Beslutning i Kirkesagen, eller forst bagefter, er svært at sige; men endnu i Juni blev Rigsraadets Stilling til Holstenerne af gjort. Hertug Christian lod sine Gesandter lægge Rigsraa det paa Hjerte, hvor vigtigt det var, at en Konge valgtes snarest muligt, og at han maatte være en af Kong Frede riks Sønner, eller om Valget ikke kunde skee nu, at da i det mindste en ordentlig Regering indrettedes. Han ønskede iovrigt at vide, hvorledes Kongens Born skulde underholdes i deres umyndige Aar, og hvorfra Dottrenes Brudeskat skulde tages. Han vilde i alle Tilfælde staae med Riget og i For ening med det slutte sig til de fremmede Magter; og han havde handlet med de holstenske Stænder om at indgaae et Forbund imellem Kongeriget og Hertugdømmerne. Tillige lod han forespørge, hvorledes Rigsraadet meente at der burde forholdes i Tilfælde af Uenighed imellem Riget og \"Fyrstendømmet\", ved hvilket Udtryk der synes meent Her tugdømmet Slesvig. Det feiler ikke, at Melchior Rantzau ogsaa har forelagt Rigsraadet Dronning Marias Forslag af 10de Mai og overhovedet gjort det bekjendt med den Stil ling til den nederlandske Sag, der var forberedt og aftalt under hans sidste Ophold ved det burgundiske Hof. Charakteristisk er det Svar, hvormed Rigsraadet den 28de Juni forsøgte at affærdige Hertugens Sendebud. For medelst det Forbund, sagde det, der er imellem Danmarks og Norges Riger, kan en Konge ikke vælges, før disse tvende Rigers Raad forsamles; derfor er ogsaa allerede tilskrevet det norske Raad om en almindelig Herredag i Kjobenhavn St. Hansdag næste Aar. Hertugen kan være rolig for, at da skal Danmarks Riges Raad saavel med Hensyn til at vælge en af Kong Frederiks Sønner, som i alle andre magt paaliggende Sager, skikke sig som det sømmer sig ærlige Mænd. Hvad de kongelige Rorns Underholdning og Udstyr", "De Beleiredes Fuldmagter til Hamborgermødet. 201 om at udsætte Modet indtil St. Stephans Dag i Julen, den 26de December 1535. Lybek og de tre andre vendiske Stæders Gesandter sendte derfor den 21de November et nyt fra Kong Christian den Tredie modtaget Leide til de Belei rede og underrettede dem tillige om, at de med stor Moie havde overtalt Mæglerne til hiin Udsættelse; de vidste ikke af hvad Grund de Beleirede vare udeblevne; men dem selv trykkede Krigen saa haardt, at de indtrængende opfordrede dem til at mode St. Stephans Dag, da Stæderne, om de atter udebleve, ikke vidste hvormed de skulde af vise Mæglernes Fordring om at underhandle paa egen Haand. Dette Brev, i Forbindelse med Skrivelser af 18de og 19de November 1535 fra Hertug Henrik og v. Schoneich, der kom til Kjobenhavn samtidigt med de vendiske Stæders, maatte lære de Beleirede, at Lybekkernes nye krigerske Iver ingenlunde var at stole paa. Dertil kom Visheden om, at Flaaden virkelig var oplost og ikke mere vilde komme ud i dette Aar. Da kunde de Beleirede ikke længer være blinde for, at Slæderne, som aldrig havde opstillet Paastanden paa den fangne Konges Gjenindsættelse i hans Kongeriger og Fyrstendømmer, men kun forlangt hans Frigivelse, let kunde tage Instructionerne af 8de, 17de og 19de November til Paaskud for at skille sig fra de Beleirede, om disse haardnakket fastholdt hiin Fordring. Det blev da nødven digt, at tage Sagen endnu engang under alvorlig Overveielse. Samme Dag som hine Breve ankom fra Tydskland, den 4de December, opfordredes Malmo til et Fælledsmode, og sendte sin anden Borgermester Jens Fyenbo med Raad manden Hermann Weiger og en Borger Palne Jensen over til Kjobenhavn; her enedes man da om at indskrænke sig strengt til Lybeks egen oprindelige Fordring, den fangne Konges Frihed, som Betingelse for at indlade sig paa endelige Underhandlinger.

[ "5 Brothers of the Roomal So sprang to his feet, upsetting the vessel in front of him, and stood staring out with an anxious eye far beyond the spot where they were dining. ' What moved ? ' he muttered under his breath in a startled tone. ' I swear I saw the flutter of a garment there — there, behind the trees, near the water.' The elder man looked up. ' Your fancy, Lulla ! And yet it may be, after all, that he whom we expected is coming.' He whispered this hopefully, but Lulla had, without a word, crept away through the wood, and, passing swiftly from tree to tree, had reached its extreme boundary without encountering a living thing save a brilliantly painted lizard, which, with a rapid move ment of its flexible tail, wriggled off into the long grass at his approach. At the further end of the clump of trees stood an ancient temple, small indeed, and entirely in ruins, but still distinctly to be traced amid the sand-heaps that now covered a good portion of its foundations. All that remained of this edifice above ground was a broken stone wall several feet thick, at right angles to which stood three lofty pillars, com-", "80 Amy Vivian's Ring necessary for them to ride forward some distance to where the country became open. ' There we shall wait,' he explained, ' at certain points at the edge of the jungle, till the pig are driven towards us by the beaters, who will soon begin their work. So, forward is the word, and no noise, if you please — leave that to the shikari and his friends ! ' Passing quickly on, they soon reached the desired point, and quietly took up their posi tions, separated by short intervals, at the edge of the jungle. In the centre was the Chief; next to him Mr Vivian and his niece ; and on either flank Lee and Tyndall, and two or three of the picked followers of His Highness. The ground had certainly been well chosen, and if only the pig broke in the right manner, there were sure to be a good run and an excellent chance of spearing them. In front extended an open plain, interspersed with small clumps of bamboo and low scrub, and broken by the sinkings of the ground and shallow water-courses which are so constantly found near the source of a large stream or nullah. Far away could be seen the recom mencement of the jungle, but it was a mile or more distant, and any animal breaking cover would have a long race to reach it. To the", "82 *•$ Amy Vivian's Ring This doubt, however, was only momentary, for the next instant, with a mighty roar, and proudly tossing aloft his cruel tusks as he crashed through the bushes, a huge boar broke cover and took his headlong course straight across the plain. In breathless silence he was given a fair start, and then, on the Nawab's raising his hand, the horsemen tore after him at utmost speed. It was soon evident that Lee was the best mounted of the party, for he gained at every stride, and before long was within reach, then side by side, with the boar ; and right well he took the honours of the hunt, giving the ' first spear ' with an unerring aim and a steady hand. The animal felt it deeply, for he slackened his pace and turned his head as if wondering what enemy had struck him ; and, as fortune would have it, the gaze of his ill-looking eyes fell full upon Amy, who had followed closely and whose unaccustomed figure, seated on Sheikh, at once attracted his attention. In his present state of fury that was enough ; he charged the unlucky object of his anger without a moment's hesitation, and the poor Arab went down as helplessly before him as if he had been shot.

As I passed in, I heard overhead the click of the castanets and the low thrum ming of the guitars. Ascending the steps, I found myself in a long room on the sec ond floor, simply furnished with a row of chairs on either side, and lighted by a num ber of lamps suspended on brackets fas tened to the wall.

Compared in size to the gypsies about him, he was a giant. He was tun ing an enormous guitar, — a very grand father of guitars — having all the strings which ordinary instruments of its class pos sess, and an extra string fastened on an outrigger.

The subordinate officers of the Legation are lodged in the same house with their chief, or in little out temples comprised within the same monastic esta blishment. Yakoneens and guards were stationed at the main entrance from the high road and at different points in the gardens at the rear, on the double pretence of giving honour to the envoy and forming a protection agamst emissaries of the dis affected party in the state. The grounds of the Legation were enclosed with a recently erected pali sade of closely compacted railing forming a strong fence about nine feet in height, and supported by little buttresses of pine-wood at intervals, in order to secure privacy and exclude attacks from nocturnal assassins. Such at least were the professed motives of the native authorities and the statements of the Yakoneens themselves, who led an idle lazy life in their wooden huts, sleeping a great portion of their time, or reading tales and novels. One of them I observed reading one of the Confucian \" Four Books\" and a work on \"Filial Piety\" in Chinese. Though not generally much on the alert against assassins, they possessed hi variety and abundance the implements of capturing any intruders.

A European gen- tleman who has visited the interior of the Tycoon's pa- lace, represents even the abode of imperial majesty as containing furniture of only the plainest description, and as being entirely destitute of gold, diamonds and the glittering ornaments of barbaric display. What gives to Japanese houses of the middle and upper class their characteristic attraction is the universal neatness of the interior and the air of cleanliness which gene- rally prevails. Everything in this official quarter of the Daimios appears however to be on a large rather than a magnificent scale, — fine macadamised roads, extensive parks and groves, a grand sweeping slope of undulating lawn, a large serpentine sheet of clear water in the moats, and a long range of palace-wall enclosures, covering a vast area of space, though of moderate elevation adapted to the insecure foundation of this region of earthquakes. x", "VERSIONS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES. 425 American Bible Union.

Moreton, left Loochoo, rigorously watched by the Japanese police in the island, and excluded from the possibility of circula tion among the Loochooan population. \" On the second point I am sorry to have to inform you that all the Protestant missionaries now in Japan concur in the view that it is highly impolitic and in expedient, in the present temper of the Japanese Go vernment, to attempt any distribution of a Japanese version of the Holy Scriptures among the people. Even the native teachers who assist them in acquiring the language evince considerable alarm, anxiety, and even dismay, whenever Luke's gospel in Japanese is produced, and the conversation is drawn to the sub ject of Christian doctrines.

[ "10 QUIDS TO DEAL and the need there is for a skilful pilot to direct the course of shipping through the narrow and perilous waters of the Channel. Among the incidents of our country's history which havo brought Deal and its waters into notice, we may mention that in 1016 Canute the Great landed at Sandwich and was joined by Streon, when he advanced and took possession of the kingdom. In the year 1215 the first great naval engagement with France took place off the North Foreland, within sight of the Downs, in which battle the English had thirty-six ships under the command of Hubert de Burgh. The French force far exceeded the English in numbers, but the daring for which the British sailor has been so long celebrated had already manifested itself, and having boarded the French ships, they disabled them at once, by cutting away their rigging, and the French being thoroughly beaten succumbed to the British Admiral. In 1474 the Cinque Ports Navy was called out to do service at sea, when Deal was appointed as its place of rendezvous, and in the fol lowing year the king sailed from the Downs with a numerous army for the port of Calais. Twenty years later Perkin Warbeck landed in this neighbourhood to lay claim to the crown against Henry VIL , but was beaten back by the train bands of Sandwich. On the question of national defences arising in the time of Henry VIII. it was determined to fortify this district by the erection of three castles, thus defending the flat coast line between the higher lands of the North and South Forelands. Two of these castles yet remain perhaps the oldest memorials of the past in the immediate vicinity of Deal. The third castle, situate at Sandown, was sold for old material by the Government of Lord Palmerston in 1864 for £500, in which year it was taken down for its old materials — a piece of Government vandalism much to be regretted by the visitors and in habitants of the locality. In 1539, while the castles were being erected upon the coast, Deal was selected as the landing-place for Lady Anne of Cleaves, when on her way to England, for the purpose of her unfortunate marriage", "155 AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. PolX>. It is situated on the Roman road between Richborough and Dover, and was, seemingly, the site of a Roman station. It is a very smaU parish, about six mUes distent from Deal, and contains only 397 acres of land. At the time of the conquest the manor belonged to Sir Robert Porch, one of the eight chief captains of Dover Castle, under John, Lord Fienes. It went afterwards to the Marney famUy, who ob tained a charter of free warren for it from Edward I. This was a franchise, or place privUeged, either by grant or prescription, to keep beasts and fowls of warren, which are described as hares and rabbits, partridges and pheasants. Goats were also reckoned beasts of warren. The Court Lodge is situated near the Church, a new building erected under the auspices of Sir Walter James. The manor was held during the Commonwealth by John Boys, Esq., a member of the Long ParUament, so distinguished in history and even to the present moment for the steps it took in the question of ship money and other Acts of great pubUc interest. It is a fact worthy of notice that the then representatives of ancient famUies residing in the vicinity of Deal took sides prominently either with the King or with the Parliament. John Boys died in 1678, and was buried in Betshanger Church. The Church is dedicated to St. Mary, and consists of two aisles and a chancel. Over the south door is a circular arch with a zig-zag moulding, under which is the figure of our Saviour. This part ap pears of a more ancient date than the Church. There are several monuments to the Boys famUy in it, and a magnificent memorial, by Sheemaker, twenty feet high, to the memory of Vice-Admiral Salmon Morrice, who died in 1740. The Church is a rectory, appendant to the manor, the owner of which is the patron. It is valued at £166 per annum. The present Rector is the Rev. W. Bliss.

[ "History of the Gold Coast aud Asante. 4 We now come to the traditional accounts of the natives of the Gold Coast which seem to confirm and prove Romer's statement concern ing the empire of Benin. The first instance is, that the kings of Lagos were formerly ap pointed from Benin. The second instance is the following tradition which is generally and universally believed among our people. The ancestors of the tribes of Akra, Late, Obutu and Mowure are said to have immigrated from the sea; they arrived on the coast one tribe after another. The Akra King Ayi Kushi (perhaps Ayi the Cushite?) and his son Ayite with their subjects, the tribe of'Tungmawe, now Abora, had in their company a prince with a few body-guards, who had the commission to rule over the Tshis in the interior. The two princes, i.e. the Akra and Akem sovereigns, proposed to send out one man each to spy out the land. They had to run a race, and he who first discovered land should claim preeminence for his sov ereign. The racers started, but the Akra, perceiving his antagonist outstripping him, pretended to have got a thorn run into his foot. He thereupon asked the Tshi to spare him a knife to remove the thorn; but he replied, \"Where came a thorn on this rock?\" Upon stooping, however, to get him the knife, the other forthwith took hold of his shoulders and jumped over him with these words \"It is I who first saw God!\" And there and then both became the twin rocks known as Akwete and Akuete on the rock Tumo on the beach behind the Basel Mission Factory at Ussher Town, or Dutch Akra. The tribe of Gbese*) arrived first with two powerful priests, Aniugi and Anyai. These with their people took possession of the site now occupied by the Ussher and James Towns' people. After their ar rival King Ayi Kushi and his own tribe of Tungmawe with the Obutus and the Ningowas also came out. Wyete, the king of Obutu, arrived, although late, yet very grand, having plenty of gold orna ments on his person; hence it was proposed by the Akras, that he should be the king of all the immigrants. Upon refusal to accept that offer, the Akras took hold of one of his arms, his people hold ing the other arm, which very unfortunately was plucked off; he *) Gbese is the name of a species of red ants which live on fruit trees and attack any one coining near.", "296 History of the Gold Coast and Asante him to visit the coast, but had been positively refused. He tried at least to be allowed to see Akra; but even that was denied him. The reason why* be was not allowed, we could not make out. Some say, the Akras thought: \"Blood is never wanting in the head of a horsefly.\" Being an Asante king, formerly an enemy, he might design some sorts of mischief against them, if he were permitted to visit the coast or stay permanently in the Protectorate. Others were of opinion that it was through Kwaku Dua's repre sentations to the principal merchants on the coast that he was not allowed to stay in the Protectorate, but was forced to return. Through all these hindrances it came to bis mind to return if possible. Besides this, his mother and sister Afrakuma I. insti gated him to go back. In the year 1839 Rev. A. Riis of the Basel mission on the Gold Coast arrived in Akem and did his best to begin a mission among the Dwabens and Akems; but neither Boaten nor Ata supported him. However Boaten sent a number of Dwaben youths to the eoast to be trained as musical band performers; but for a school and the preaching of the gospel he did not show any interest. Boaten, not allowed to visit the coast, received message after message from the Danish and British governors, urging him to go back. Prince Kwaku Dua had been made king of Asante, after the demise of Osei Yaw, and was dispatching ambassadors after ambassadors to the governors of Christiansborg and Cape Coast, king Taki I., Ata, Kwadwo Tibo, Tibo Kuma, and all the chiefs in the Protectorate, to induce Boaten to return to Dwaben. The first ambassadors were Osei Dankyere, Yaw Kgko and Barefi. They brought 60 peredwans equal to „^P 487 (some say 300 pere dwans were sent first), to Boaten with this message: \"Boaten is the principal man who has to place Kwaku Dua on the stool. Unless Boaten returns, no one can perform the ceremony connected with the coronation.\" The amount sent is said to have been di vided between Boaten, Sapong, head chief of the Qyoko family, Agyei, chief of Asafo, and Agyei Bghen, captain over the body guard. One of the ambassadors, Barefi, had a confidential commission to Boaten alone. On his arrival Boaten tried to behead him. Ba refi, knowing what he had to expect at Boaten's hand, said, the king has determined to send out 1000 messengers to recall you home; if you kill me, another will come until you desist. In reply", "Chapter XXIV. 299 I advise that the case pending between my cousin and the king should be amicably settled, otherwise, I will be neutral, neither for heaven nor for earth.\" The messengers reported to Boaten what Nerebehi had said; and when the civil war broke out between Dwaben and Kumase, neither of the cousins took part in it, hence Boaten desired to kill them and their families before be would return. Others are of opinion that those cousins of Boaten left Dwaben the same night when Yaw Qdabo was detected. They went to Kumase with the view of siding with the king so as to claim the stool for them, as the king did in the Nsuta's case. As cousins of Boaten it was their bounden duty to support him in a case such as that, but never to leave him alone. The three soldiers and king Taki's linguist acting as ambassadors arrived at Akem. Boaten appointed Kwabena Puntua, Gyimadti, linguist Damansafo, Asare Panyin, Mogyaben, and a party* of 50 armed men to execute that atrocious commission at Kumase Pun tua and his company announced their approach, and a grand meet ing was held at Kumase for their reception. Which being done, they got their quarters at Ntuom. The king sent presents of every known eatable thing and gold-dust to them on the following day, after which the whole Asante nation was ordered by the king to send in their presents. They got a large supply of provisions and gold. As it was the great yam feast, Aberedwase Poku with his whole family as well as Nerebehi Poku were in Kumase. Prince Owusu Dgme was ordered by the king to invite the ambassadors and Aberedwase Poku to his house to enjoy palm-wine and other drink. At the party they were told that Akuamua was expected soon, therefore they must be placed in irons for a time, till he came, when any case pending between both parties should be settled. To which Aberedwase Poku replied, \"Akuamua may come at any time, I have nothing serious with him !\" Nerebehi Poku responded, \"Why should you continue talking for being required to be put in irons? Stretch out your hands to be manacled!\" He did so, yet none of the Dwabens could take hold of the hand, but all kept up weeping! There were more than 400 men of the king's basket carriers and a set of the king's bearers who allow their hair to grow long and hang over their faces, who had surrounded the house to prevent any one from escaping.

He had, as he fan cied, just nicked the time of dinner ; for he came in as the cloth was laying. He took a chair without being desired, and talked for some time without be ing attended to. He assured the company, that no thing procured so good an appetite as a walk in the Park, where he had been that morning. He went on, and praised the figure of the damask table-cloth ; talked of a feast where he had been the day before, but that the venison was over-done : but all this procured him no invitation. Finding, therefore, the gentleman of the house insensible to all his fetches, he thought proper, at last to retire, and mend his appetite by a second walk in the Park.

They were in a very miserable and reduced condi tion, and upon enquiry we found, that after we had left them, having consumed all the beef, they lived for some days on the skin of the mouse-deer, which we had left entire, not thinking it worth while to make a partition of it. This being consumed, three of them died of hunger in a few days, and the others were under the necessity of subsisting on the flesh of the dead men, till they were relieved by the Indians. One of the remaining five was so impru dently ravenous, when the Indians came to their as sistance, as to eat such a quantity of meat, that he expired in a few hours, in the greatest agonies ima ginable, and another soon after accidentally shot himself whh one of the Indian guns. Thus was our number, which originally consisted of nineteen persons reduced to nine. Indeed, it is rather a wonder, how so many persons could, for the space of three months, go through such complicated distres ses, from excessive cold, hunger, and fatigue. We all remained another fortnight among the In dians ; by which time our healths being somewhat re-established, and Mr. Prenties's money very much reduced, he made an agreement with the Indians to conduct him to Halifax, for which he agreed to pay forty-five pounds, and furnish them with provisions, and all necessaries, at every inhabited place on their way. It was then agreed on, that Mr. Prenties and his servant should set off on the second of April for Halifax, accompanied by two Indians, and Mr. Window, a young gentleman, who had been pas finger on board the vessel, and was one of the three survivors at the hut.

THE TEMPLE OF FORTUNE. A VISION. HAPPENING a few evenings ago, to be in com- pany where several persons of both sexes were earnestly intent upon play, I could not help taking particular notice of the agitations into which they were thrown by the various turns of fortune ; and the reflections I made upon that occasion, made such an impression upon me, that I make no doubt but the dream which I had the same night, must have taken its rise from them. In sleep I thought myself embarked upon a tem pestuous sea, in a small vessel, which was so croud ed with passengers, that every wave seemed to threa ten to overset it. We had not sailed a long time till we arrived at an island, where, as soon as we went ashore, we were received with the utmost ardour by a person who promised to conduct us to the Temple of Fortune. We all gladly accepted the offer, and followed him with the greatest alacrity imagin able.

The plants on which the deer fed, being less consumed in consequence of the lessened numbers of that herbivorous species, would soon supply more food to several insects, and probably to some terrestrial testacea, so that the latter would gain ground. The increase of these would furnish other insects and birds with food, so that the numbers of these last would be augmented. The diminution of the seals would afford a respite to some fish which they had persecuted ; and these fish, in their turn, would then multiply and press upon their peculiar prey. Many water fowls, the eggs and young of which are devoured by foxes, would increase when the foxes were thinned down by the bears ; and the fish on which the water-fowls subsisted would then, in their turn, be less numerous. Thus the numerical proportions of a great number of the inhabitants, both of the land and sea, might be permanently altered by the settling of one new species in the region ; and the changes caused indirectly would ramify through all classes of the living creation, and be almost endless. An actual dlustration of what we have here only proposed hypothetically, is in some degree afforded by the selection of small islands by the eider duck for its residence during the season of incubation, its nests being seldom if ever found on the shores of the main land, or even of a large island. The Icelanders are so well aware of this, that they have expended a great deal of labour in forming artificial islands, by separating from the main land certain promontories, joined to it by narrow isthmuses. This insular position is necessary to guard against the destruction of the eggs and young birds, by foxes, dogs, and other animals. One year, says Sir W. Hooker, it happened that, in the small island of Vidoe, ad joining the coast of Iceland, a fox got over upon the ice, and caused great alarm, as an immense number of ducks were then sitting on their eggs or young ones. It was long before he was taken, which was at last, however, effected by bringing another fox to the island, and fastening it by a string near the haunt of the former, by which he was allured within shot of the hunter.* * Tour in Iceland, vol. i. p. 64, 2nd edit.

XLIIL antecedent species nearly allied in bodily structure, offers at present to the geologist a field of somewhat unprofitable speculation, so long as the Pliocene and Post-Pliocene for mations of tropical Africa and India are still unexplored. We are only beginning, by aid of paleontology, to trace back the passage through a series of gradational forms from the living mammalia to those of the Pliocene and still older Miocene period. But in this department of osteology, the evidence already obtained since the time of Cuvier, in favour of transmutation, is certainly very striking. By no naturalist has its bearing been more clearly pointed out than by M. Gaudry, who, under the influence of the great teachers who preceded him, entered on the enquiry with a theoretical bias directly opposed to the conclusions which he now so ably advocates. In his luminous memoir on the fossil bones found at Pikermi, near Mount Pentelicus, fourteen miles east of Athens, he has pointed out the transition through many intermediate forms of Upper Miocene species to others of Pliocene and Post-Pliocene date, showing how each suc cessive discovery has enabled us to bridge over many gaps which existed only twenty or thirty years ago. Having myself had the advantage of seeing the original specimens collected by this zealous geologist and now in the museum of Paris, and having had the connecting links supplied by species obtained from other parts of the world laid before me, I have been able the more fully to appreciate the force of the evidence appealed to in favour of Transmutation. But all who study M. Gaudry's memoir may form an independent opinion for themselves, by a glance at the genealogical tables of certain family types, in which the gradation of Miocene through Pliocene and Post-Pliocene to living genera and species is traced. In the list of proboscidians, for example, we behold chro nologicady arranged more than thirty distinct species, be ginning with the mastodons of the Middle Miocene Period, found in France, and continued through those of the Upper Miocene of Ava, the Sewalik Hills, Pikermi, and Eppelsheim, to the Pliocene forms of Southern India, Italy, and England, where both the mastodons and elephants occur.

The spuit that cemented our hearts was friendship, not love; but the holiness of marriage has consecrated that friendship into affection, which the sweet intercourse of domestic life has softened into sometldng stdl more agreeable and tender. My girl's marriage, my dear Lucy, is the only painful thought that throws its shadow across our happiness.\" \" Poor Emdy-,\" sighed Lucy, \" how little did that calm, sweet-tempered, and patient girl deserve to meet such a husband ! But perhaps he may yet improve. If gentleness and affection can soften a heart by time and perseverance, his may yet become human.\" Such was the simple history of tins amiable couple, who, although enjoying as much happiness as is usually allotted to man and woman, were not, however, free from those characteristic traces that enabled their friends to recognise without much difficulty the previous habits of their lives. \" Mrs. Mainwaring,\" said Lucy, \" I must write", "276 RED HALL : OR, rephed the Doctor ; \" I shad be guided here only by Sir Thomas Gourlay himself, as father of the bride.\" \" Why, Doctor, what the deuce is the matter with you ?

Broughton also observed (7th and 8tu September 1797) along the east coast of Nippon at 39° 55' to 40° 44' N. L. a strong S. and S.W. stream. This stream Vries fell in with at 37° 39', at a distance of 4 miles from the coast, and declared it to be the cause of the exceedingly hollow sea, \"because ihe stream ran against the ivind {from S.S.E.)\" The Ja panese stream , the already mentioned Kuro shoo or black sea stream, seems to break its strength against the great east point of Nippon , Cape BaiJto saki , and then to run along Cape de Kennis more to the N.E. Be sides its velocity and direction , which cannot escape the seaman's notice, the course of this stream is charac terised, during the colder seasons and in higher lati tudes, by the thick mist which covers it in the morn ing and evening. As far as to nearly 38° N. Lat. , Vries often complains of \"fearfully dark mist\" whilst more northerly he was favoured with very fine weather. It can therefore be accepted as a law of this warm stream, that its influence does not extend farther along the east coast of Nippon than to 38° N. Lat., and that a cold stream rushes in between that and the coast which , from the South coast of Jezd, and pos sibly from the straits of Tsungar, where from this ca nal narrowing to 12 English miles the passage of all that water is prevented, it falls off and runs South. That it is more or less exposed to the influence of variable winds is of course, and its strength seems gradually to break itself as it were against that of the warm stream, though both streams flow on per fectly distinguishable.

[ "ON A PLASTIC OPERATION FOR THE RESTORATION OF THE LOWER LIP. BY THOMAS P. TEALE, SURGEON TO THE LEEDS GENERAL INFIRMARY. COMMUNICATED BY WILLIAM BOWMAN, F.R.S. Received Nov. 30th.— Read Dee. 12th, 1854. Of the evils resulting from the contraction of scars, few are more serious, either in the distress or the disfigurement they occasion, than the eversion and dragging dovmw7ards of the lower lip following burns of the neck. The features are thereby hideously deformed, and the power of retaining the saliva is lost. For the relief of this deformity I have adopted the mode of operating, which it is my object in this paper to describe. Before doing so, I will, however, make a few observations on some plastic operations which have been performed for the relief of scars of the neck by the division of the bands of cicatrix, and the transplantation of a neighbouring portion of sound skin to fill up the chasm. In 1 839, Mr. Carden,1 of Worcester, operated upon a girl, 1 ' Transactions of Provincial Medical and Surgical Association,' vol. xii.", "2 ON A PLASTIC OPERATION FOR aged fourteen years, who was greatly deformed by a burn, which occurred seven years before. The movements of the head were much restricted ; the mouth was permanently open ; the tongue protruded ; the lower incisors projected horizontally, and there was constant dribbling of saliva. A transverse incision was made throughout the entire extent of cicatrix in front of the neck. The chin was then drawn upwards, and every tense band connected with the cicatrix was divided until the head was relaxed nearly into its natural position. A flap of skin, three inches long and two and a half inches wide, was detached on each side from over the clavicle and chest. These were raised and united in front of the throat. The degree of improvement effected in this case, and tested by the lapse of four years, was highly gratifying. Subsequently to the performance of Mr. Carden's operation, a similar proceeding was adopted in several cases, with great success, by Dr. Mutter,1 of Philadelphia. I have performed this operation in six cases since August, 1848, and have witnessed it in some others by my colleagues at the Leeds Infirmary. In all these cases, observed by myself, there was a marked and most satisfactory improvement in the movements of the head and neck. In one case, besides the advantage just noticed, the displacement of the lip was relieved, and the patient was enabled to retain her saliva. In all the cases the displacement of the lip was in a greater or less degree mitigated by the operation on the neck, but in several this particular deformity remained to such an extent as to render a special operation for the restoration of the lower lip necessary. In these autoplastic operations on the neck it is of essential importance, as stated by Dr. Mutter, that the incision of the scar should extend from sound skin on one side of it to sound skin on the other, and that every band of adventitious fibrous tissue beneath the scar shoidd be ' British and Foreign Medical Review,' April, 1845.", "4 ON A PLASTIC OPERATION FOR The operation will be rendered more intelligible by reference to the accompanying diagrams.

Här ungefär bodde enligt Hero- dotus ett folk, som han kallar Budiner, med ljusblå ögon och ljust hår2), i hvilket man vill igenkänna vare Odins-dyrkan- de förfäder. De hade en tempelstad af träd2); de nordliga folken i Skythien delade sig i tvänne tog, ett åt öster, det andra åt vester, då Darius Hystaspis vid år 513 f. Chr. fram- trängde till dem3). Uti det senare voro Budinerne. Hero- dotus talar mycket härom och säger, att stora rörelser i dessa länder uppkommo till följe af Darii tog 4 ). Budinerne voro ett stort och talrikt folk och bodde troligen långt åt vester och norr. Agardh vill hos Herodotus igenkänna Ladogasjön, såsom belägen i deras land. Alltnog! de lemnade sin tempel- stad; var Ladogasjön belägen i deras land, så var ej långt till Östersjön och sedan öfver den till vårt land. Huru noga öfverensstämmer ej detta med Sturlesons berättelse. Hos ho- nom, jämförd med andre Isländske författare, ligger i före- ställningen om toget bibegreppet af, att det gick något i nord- lig rigtning. Likaså hos Herodotus. Då folken ej gerna öfver- gifva den växtregion och det klimat, hvarvid de äro vana, var ock detta helt naturligt. Voro nu desse Budiner och vare förfäder sanima folk, så drogo de sig sannolikt små- ningom i smärre hopar öfver Östersjön och nedsatte sig i Svithjod. De bebodde troligen länge en stor rymd från öster åt vester, från det inre af nuvarande Ryssland öfver öarna i Östersjön till Svithjod, Mälaretrakterna.

Förut hade Dansk-götisk nationalitet varit öfvervägande i sydliga delen af halfön och på Danska öarna; nu blef tvärtom Nord-germanisk nationa litet den öfvervägande i hela Norden ' ). Att den Götiska dock fans quar är naturligt och visar sig några århundraden senare i de många striderna mellan Svear och Götar, som då framstå mest såsom strider mellan hedningar och christne. Ännu finnas troligen i södra delen af Sverige många Götiska beståndsdelar, i synnerhet i språket2). Men efter Bråvalla slagets tid börjar Norden blifva ett i afseende på nationa liteten. För att åter få svar på den frågan, hvilken anled ningen kunde vara till detta stammames sammandrabbande nu, kunne vi ej annat än vända blicken åt öster, åt vare förfäders äldsta hem. Derifrån, från Öster-rike, härstammade anföraren för det segrande folket. Der var Svithjod det stora. Här hade vi på 600:talet Radbard, en konung med äkta nordiskt namn , och från äldre tider möta oss här namn, sådana som Emund 3 ). Den beryktade Jarmunrek eller Er manarik, Götarnes konung i midten af 300:talet e. chr. satt i fängelse hos Slavernes konung hmar1), också ett nordiskt namn. Detta, lagdt till hvad ofvan är sagdt, antyder, att här i Öster-rike bodde folk at samme stam, som Svearne eller Nord-germanerne. Härifrån, från nord-ost, kom helt visst detta moln, som bredde mörker öfver hela Norden. Hvarföre skulle väl just nu en sådan strid mellan de olika nationerna uppstå, om ej Svearne småningom genom invan dringar förökats till den grad, att deras påtryckning, såsom vanligt vid folkvandringar, börjat kännas obehaglig och stö- 1) Se Munch: Det norske folks historie 1 B. sid. 284. 2) Intressant vore om någon företoge en noggrann undersökning härom.

Men hvilka rörelser föregingo väl nu åter här i östra Europa, som kunde åstadkomma denna nya folk vandring? Omkring år 659 hade de mäktige Chazarerne, ett Tur kiskt folk, infallit i Europa. De hemsökte Svarta hafvets kuster och utbredde, såsom det synes, i början af 700:talet sitt välde i sydliga delen af nuvarande Ryssland till Kiew och Dnieperns område ' ). Häraf uppstodo helt naturligt stora rörelser i det inre af dessa länder. Chazarerne framträngde allt längre och längre och gjorde folken skattskyldiga -). Följ den blef naturligtvis den, att Slaviska och Tschudiska folken tryckte på Svearne, som här ännu bodde quar kanske långt in i landet, och att desse nödgades i myckenhet draga öfver Östersjön till sine stamförvandter, med hvilke de tvifvelsutan stodo i nära beröring3). Det är kanske detta, Nestor talar om, då han säger, att Slaverne, Tschuderne, Kriwitscherne och Mererne uppreste sig emot Warägerne 4 ), jagade dem bort öfver sjön och betalte dem ingen vidare skatt, ehuru han be stämmer året för denna tilldragelse långt senare3). 1) Schlözers Nestor II: sid. 136 — 139 enl.

For some years he farmed himself, having become the owner of \" The Oaks,\" in the district of Caledon — a district much favoured by English gentlemen farmers of that period such as Mr. Cholmonley Morris, Dr. Hutchinson, the Messrs. Carruthers Brothers, Mr. Alexander Breda, the Messrs. Hull Brothers, Mr. C. H. Bourhill, the Hon. Mr. Vigne, M.L.C., Mr. John Linde, Mr. Chiappini, and others. I am not sure that they were all there in 1855, but tbe most of them were, and they were all farming in Caledon at the same time, and whilst that was the case Caledon was one of the best farmed districts in the Colony, and certainly one of the best wool-producing districts — if not the best. My readers may be sure that my visit to the Exhibition above described did not furnish a large amount of \" copy \" for the columns of The Monitor, but it undeniably led to better things. There was no better judge of live-stock in the country than Mr. Bayley. He had an eye for a horse that was never excelled during his lifetime, and I do not believe has been since he died. He imported some of the finest cattle and horses (thoroughbreds) that were ever seen in South Africa, and from 1855 he met with willing and able co-operators, which was what he stood so much in need of, to assist him in making Agricultural Societies as efficient as he wished them to he. It was he who, with the aid of the Societies which he helped to establish, first brought into use the iron ploughs of tbe Howards and Ransomes and Sims, and the best reaping and threshing machines, seed drills and zigzag harrows. Up to 1855 the potatoes grown were wretched iu quality and very dear, and one might as well have eaten a cake of soap as a vegetable as a Cape potato. In that year he induced the Cape of Good Hope Society to introduce the fluke kidney (then just brought out by the Messrs. Sutton & Sons, of Reading) and other new and approved varieties of that nutritious and esteemed esculent — the potato. It was difficult to get farmers to plant the seed, although it was given them for nothing. But perseverance did it as last, and the best known varieties of the potato have since been produced in the Colony in abundance with the best of other kinds of roots — such as are valuable for feeding and table purposes, and for which the present genera tion ought to be thankful. Mr. Bayley obtained for the parent Agricultural Society the patronage of His Excellency", "REMINISCENCE. No. XIV. OLD CAPE TOWN MAGISTRATES — MR. P. B. BORCRERDS AND BARON LORENZ — MR.

The changes which have taken place in Resident Magistrates within my memory have been very many and some of them very remarkable. When I came to Cape Town first Mr. P. B. Borcherds, then a very old man, was Resident Magistrate. He had been in the Government service al! his life ; had had the supervision of the offspring of the slaves in tho old slave days, had the control of the Juvenile Immigrants before I was born, and had represented the Government in scores of commis sions. He, as Resident Magistrate, had nothing whatever to do with police cases, but bis work was confined to civil suits alone. The civil roll was then, I should think, five times the' length of the civil roll of to-day, and the old gentleman, who was one of the most patient and amiable of men and certainly one of the most just and impartial of magistrates who ever sat upon a magisterial bench, would be pretty well exhausted when he had been sitting from ten in the morning to about four iu the afternoon, and then he would invariably say to tho messenger of the Court, \" Hill, how many more cases ? \" The answer would be something like \" Twenty more yet, your wor ship.\" Tbeu the old gentleman would shrug his shoulders and ii", "155 ■Colonists and Colonial matters thau about anything with which the nation has any concern. It is sufficiently apparent, however, to the people of the Diamond Fields that Sir Henry Barkly was wise in exciting the influence that was brought to bear upon him by those interested in Barkly to fix the seat of Government there. The High Court, as old Diamond Fielders will remember, was first constituted in Barkly. It was a one-judge Court, but like all one-horse institutions could not maintain a satisfactory existence for many years. But it was at Barkly some of our first successful members of the Bar and Side Bar made their debut. It was there that Sir Sidney Shippard, now the Administrator of British Bechuaualand, first practised, so did the lamented Mr. Advocate Thompson, and Mr. Advocate Halkett, who afterwards had extensive leading practice at the High Court Bar. The late Mr. Arbouin, Mr. II. Haarhoff, Mr. Sydney Carlyle and Mr. Edington, and all of whom I believe are dead, were the earliest members of tbe Side Bar who practised at Klipdrift — they all practised on both sides of the river. There was no attempt on the part of the Free State or on the part of the Pniel Magistrate to shut out English legal practitioners from that Court. There was an endeavour on the part of such diggers as were disinclined towards British rule to set up Jantje as the Chief who owned the land in opposition to Waterboer, and that Chief met with some encouragement from the elder Moffat. Not that Mr. Moffat was by any meaus opposed to British rule. On the contrary he was British to the backbone, but he recol- lected that when he came to the Vaal it was Jantje who gave his party leave to cross and settle down on the Klipdrift side of the river. Waterboer, however, proved to the satisfaction of the British Government that he was the Paramount Chief, having succeeded his father, Nicolas Waterboer, a chief possess- ing vast natural gifts and a great favourite of the British •Government. He carried a staff of office, conferred on him by the Crown, in proof that he was an ally of the British. I have seen the staff often. It was of ebony, with a massive silver head to it — more like a Parliamentary Mace than a staff. Nicolas Waterboer was a very gifted orator, I have heard ( in English, as well as in Dutch aud Griqua), and the -military people were very fond of getting him down to the /Colony and entertaining him at dinner] for the purpose of" ]

The former was over gracious, over bountiful in her kind ness. She would send up jellies and grapes for the invalid, and all sorts of little tempting luxuries for his nurse. Every morning she came with fresh flowers and with books, making anxious inquiries as to the night he had passed, and in the evening she came rustling in with her silks flowing and her jewels glistening, to ask how he had dined, and whether there was anything that could be done for Mrs. Reed's comfort.

So durchströmt der Neckar das schöne, fruchtbare Terraffenland von Unter-Schwaben seiner ganzen Länge nach und bildet die eigentliche Pulsader dieses gesegneten Landstrichs. Schon von Rottweil an wird er mit Flößen, und von Kann stadt an mit Fahrzeugen, die 600 bis 1000 Ctr. Last tragen können, be fahren. Der Neckar bildet durchgehend«, im engern Sinn gedacht, ein Engthal und besonders tiefe Thäler von feinem Ursprünge bis Rottenburg, so wie zwischen Heilbronn und Heidelberg, wo er das Gebirge durchschneidet. Da die Gegend sehr bevölkert und bebaut ist, so sind insonderheit zwischen Tübingen und Heilbronn viele Uebergänge über den Fluß. Die vorzüglichsten Gewässer, welche der Neckar aufnimmt, sind, auf der linken Seite: — Die Eschach und die Glatt, von denen die erstere eigentlich als Quelle des Neckars anzusehen sein dürfte, da sie bis zur Vereinigung oberhalb Rottweil einen längern Lauf und einen größern Wasserreichthum besitzt; die Ammer, Aich, Körsch und der Nesenbach, in dessen breitem Thale Württembergs Landeshauptstadt Stuttgart liegt; vor allen aber die Enz, die ein kleines Flußgebiet für sich bildet, bestehend aus der Enz selbst, der Nagold, der Wurm und der Glems. Die beiden ersten sind Schwarzwaldflüsse, der dritte ein Gaufluß. Die Enz entspringt ober halb Wildbad, die Nagold bei Urnagold, die Wurm bei Emmingen. Alle drei durchströmen mit sehr rascheln Fall so tiefe Thäler, daß nur an wenig Stellen der Uebergang möglich ist. Bei der Stadt Pforzheim, auf badi fchem Gebiet, sind sie vereinigt. Auch von hier ab bis zum Ausfluß bei Vesigheim, strömt die Enz durch ein Engthal, allein auf dieser Strecke hat sie mehrere Uebergänge. Unterhalb Vesigheim empfängt der Neckar noch den kleinen Fluß Zaber, der feinem Thale den Namen Zabergau giebt, ferner den Leinbach und die Elsenz, welche in der Gebirgssente zwischen Schwarzwald und Odenwald fließt, und bei Neckargemünd zum Haupt flusse kommt.

In der Nähe der oft sehr schmalen, zum Theil nur mit Gefahr, immer aber mit Mühe zu ersteigenden Gipfel hält sich selbst in den wärmsten Sommern immer noch einiger Schnee und erinnert den Besucher daran, daß er hier der Höhe nahe ist, wo selbst die Glut der wenig geschwächt wirkenden Sonne den Schnee nicht schmelzen kann, und ihn daher ein Winter nach dem andern zu schweren Lasten anhäuft. Die Gipfel selbst bestehen, wo sie abgerundet sind, entweder aus wilo über einander gehäuften und mit abgelösten Brocken und scharfem Gruß unvollkommen bedeckten Blöcken, um welche noch schöne Kräuter sprießen, oder, wo sie schmal und spitz sind, aus festem doch start zerklüfteten Fels, auf und an welchem größere und kleinere schon von ihm abgelöste Stücke liegen, oft weithin überzogen und gefärbt von dürren Flechten, welche mit Luft, Nässe und Frost um die Wette an der Zertrümmerung der doch so harten Gesteine arbeiten.

An wilden und großen Erscheinungen, schroffen Wänden und zerrisse nen Felsen u. dgl. ist ein Theil der Hochgebirge sowol in größerer Höhe als ziemlich tief unten reich genug, und der Naturbeschauer und Liebhaber des Romantischschönen wie der Zeichner und Erdkenner finden Stellen in Menge, an welchen sie mit Entzücken weilen werden, obwol sie freilich das Allergrößte, was die Gebirgswelt der Alpen, der Cordilleren und des Himalaja darbietet, hier weder finden noch erwarten werden.

While our men were on shore, twro of them were taken with the black vomit, and had to be sent to the hospital, where they both died. At noon the lighter came alongside with provisions and fruit.

The usual prepara tions were made for coming to an anchor, such as bending cables and getting anchors over the bows. The anchorage at Penang being on the east side of the island, we ran round the north point into the harbor, and came to anchor in thirteen fathoms of water, and about a quarter of a mile distant from the shore.

[ "THREESCORE AND TEN, AND FIVE. 23 CHAPTER V. THREESCORE AND TEN, AND FIVE. At the wide drawing-room window of a pleasant old London house in a pleasant London square, the deep-hued smoky sunshine of a summer morning was waiting for admittance. The shutters were open, but a straight linen curtain in brown and amber stripes still covered the panes, not drawn so closely, however, but that a single ray entered at one corner and struck a gilt handle of a large cabinet of ebony and brass that stood beside the window. This small spark re bounded to a candlestick, and from thence to a mirror, which flung it to a sofa-cushion. It sunk there in a spot of deep red, and went no farther. This bright little visitor, without illuminating the room, made it visible. It was a large chamber, occupying the whole house-front, and communicated by folding doors, now shut, with another room at the back of the house. The front room, originally a drawing-room, had gradually assumed the appearance of a study. A large writing-table was drawn near the window, and an arm-chair stood before it. There were several cases of books on the walls, and the black-and-gold cabinet was full of pigeon-holes for papers. A stronger light would have revealed that the furniture was well worn, though scrupulously kept. The colors of the velvet draperies had been maroon, and the carpet a mass of shadowy ferns with pomegranate-blossoms in bunches, and threads of gold-color had run through the tassels and fringes ; but now all had settled into a general tone of reddish brown, with deep, soft shadows. It was the background of an old portrait, without the figure. A door opened from the passage, and a trim house-maid entered, bearing a tray on which a frugal breakfast was exquisitely arranged. She placed it on the writing-table before the arm-chair, glanced about to see that all was in order, wiped a speck of dust off the chair-back with her apron, and tripped away, at the sound of the door-bell, with a self-satisfied look on her pretty face.", "PERSECUTION. 321 0 scourge of Christ ! Aaron was heard when he moved through the cloud by a golden tinkling of bells and pomegranates round his steps ; but these later marvels rattle with a noise of coppers as they proclaim the grace of God, \" going, going, gone\" to the highest bidder ! \" Behold, I stand at the door and knock.\" Who opens in Rome ? Father Segneri tried to open, and got his fingers badly pinched in the rusty lock. All this passed through Glenlyon's mind, and it made him sick. He scarcely went out into the town any more. He remained alone in his room all day, meeting the ladies for a few minutes during luncheon, and appearing in the drawing-room half an hour before dinner. He had remained so, shut into his room, this day preceding Ascen sion, seeing no one but Fra Antonio, who had the kindness to insist on coming to the castle to hear his confession, knowing that he might be made to wait longer than he was able in the crowd of the church. Assuring themselves that he would not need them, the countess and her daughter went out for one of their walks in the woodland roads, and deep, flowery paths buried between vineyards and corn-fields, where the high banks at either side were gay with flowers, blue, gold, and red. The two loved to talk together, and to-day Aurora was full of a new life. \" I have just escaped from a dark place, mamma,\" she said. \" I have been in cruel doubt as to what my life is coming to. If I meant to marry, I should think of what beautiful children I would rear, and what noble men and women I would make of them. But I do not mean to marry. Of course we will have our little school in the castle when we have the misfortune to lose our friend, and we will do what we can for the poor. But the thought of that did not content me. There was poetry ; and I felt that I must sing or suffocate ; but I want my songs to have some other than a pleasing value. It was necessary that I should do lasting good as well as please for a moment. I wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Now it is all clear to me. Of course you could have told me, and everybody else knew ; nevertheless I dis- 21", "13, Waterloo Place, Pall Mall. 21 Keene (H. G.) Administration in India. Post 8 vo. 5s. — Peepul Leaves.

[ "7 doubtless graced continental cities, as well as honoured the Rows of Great Yarmouth, saw in them other possibilities, and stated \" for intricacies they can compete with the most confined of those of any Continental City you can mention, where the inhabitants can converse and shake hands from upper stories, visit each other in night-caps, quarrel in the upper world, or carry on a general confab, peacefully or otherwise \" Somewhat more definitely wrote another : \" They are passages between parallel streets, some with shops on either side like Union Passage in Birmingham, but most of them only a few feet wide, with dwelling houses on each side, where a jump from one window to another would be an easy task for a gymnast.\" \"Who can but admire the following graphic description ? \" \"What a quaint old town. The fine Market Place is like an open plain ; the scores of narrow ' Rows ' running out of it may be likened to burrows leading in all manner of directions. However does each denizen find his, or her dwelling ? Do they never get mixed, and give it up for a bad job ? Some of these Rows are too narrow to permit of a man falling down if he got crosswise.\" Having investigated them with the eye of an antiquary, another gentleman described the Rows as \" the long series of narrow passages, running from one principal street to another, numbering 145 in all, with houses on each side. Although none of them are sufficiently wide to allow of other than pedestrian traffic, many quaint old-fashioned houses, dating several centuries back, bearing both external and internal ■evidence of great expense and labour being devoted to their erection and decoration. In fact, old Yarmouth is full of interest to the antiquary and to the curiosity seeker.\" Of course, the visitor with an eye to sanitation, has not allowed the Rows to be unexplored. They have borne the scrutiny, and we may breathe freely now the verdict has been given. \"A remarkable appearance is presented to the visitor by the number of long narrow lanes called ' Rows ' that run east and west of the town. It leaves little room for doubt of the healthiness of the place when these Rows are •examined, for their cleanliness and orderly appearance must surely render them conducive to the highest possible standard of health ; and if these •observations can be applied with as much appropriateness to the internal sanitary arrangements of the dwellings— as I have reason to believe it may— the Corporation may congratulate themselves on the success of their •efforts in this respect.\" We will now present the reader with the observations of writers who have less cursorily investigated this wonderland. A writer in a metro-", "10 while the children playing about the doors in the Rows are clean, healthy, decently dressed, and civil spoken. * * * Whitewash is laid liberally on every accessible place, the causeway is plentifully supplied with gutters made of semi-circular yellow tiles, and in no instance have I encountered those vile odours which offend you on the Continent. It would be false to say that I never smelt fish ; there is a vast deal of shrimp boiling done in some of these Rows, but of those filthy stenches of which Coleridge numbered seventy-two in the city of Cologne, I detected not one.\" Harper's Magazine cf June, 1 882, gave the following interesting description: — \"At cne time the inhabitants of this old borough took up< to living on a plan almost entirely their own, and the Rows in which they built their houses remain to this day the most curious of all the features of the ancient town. The Rows are narrow streets leading to and from the quay, — not narrow in the ordinary sense, but narrower, perhaps, than any other streets in the world, their average width being six feet. They are not isolated infrequent lanes left between more commodious thorough fares by the incomplete modifications of early plans, but they form a system and their aggregate length is about eight miles. Six feet is their average width, but some of them are scarcely more than three feet, and two persons cannot pass one another without contracting themselves and painfully sidling in the opposite directions. The pavement is of rough cobble-stones, with sometimes a strip of flags down the middle to ease the way of the pedestrian. The houses tower up with smooth perpendicular walls, like cliffs, on both sides, and shut out the light, the upper stories projecting in many cases beyond the lower, and forming an arch over the narrow passage below. Most of these houses are very old, and the material of which they are built is flint or stone, often white washed, though occasionally left in its natural condition with open timbering in the fronts ; in one or two the masonry is of the herring-bone pattern ; but huddled up as they are, without regard to privacy or ventilation, staring into one another's faces with undesirable intimacy, they are of a good class, and in good condition, and some of them have courtyards before them with nasturtiunrs and scarlet runners dragging a tender green web over their white walls. The narrowest of the Rows is only 2 feet 3 inches in width. There are in all 156 of them, each known bj- its number. The object of the frugal plan in which they originated is. a mystery. One of the guesses at it is this : — ' The fishermen spread out heir nets to dry very carefully, and leave on the four sides of each net a.", "32 were left to imagine ; or, pausing to scan the Roadstead through the telescope placed in readiness, or indulging in a seat in the weighing machine, we pass on to a calmer region, where gratifications of a less exciting character may be enjoyed. For this we had not to travel far. Passing the boundary line of the Jetty we instantly find, between that greatly improved structure and the Wellington Pier, a great transformation scene has taken place. Loose sand and shingle have given place to a capacious and beautifully terraced garden artistically laid, adorned with vases and fountains, and with a bandstand in the centre. While the young, the healthy and the boisterous may find the fullest opportunities for thorough enjoyment elsewhere ; here the quiet, the weakly and the medi- tative may get away from the madding crowd and calmly indulge in reflec- tion. Between this garden and the sea, an Esplanade of magnificent proportions has been made, and pro- vided with sitting accom- modation along the entire length, where Visitors may, free of charge, recline, facing the sea ; and, whilst taking rest, may take in the strains of sweet operatic music discoursed YARMOUTH ROADS." ]

He said harshly, \" You have dishonoured me, Bess. You have humbled me before the face of my enemy.\" \" You wrong me, Harry. I have not dishonoured you. I could not look on in silence while you sought each others' lives. Forgive me if I have done amiss.\" \" I will never forgive you- Then Bess broke down and wept, for this was hard. On sight of her tears, Harry's foolish rage passed. \" Ah, Bess, brave girl, do not heed my anger. It is gone. But it distresses me that he should prove more loyal to you than I.\" \" No, no, Harry, not more loyal.

At last he arose. Just then the muffled hum of a pair of skates sounded far out on the ice. The sound waxed louder and fainter alternately. Like the traveller in a primeval forest who has lost his way, this skater was moving in a circle. Let him circle there till he perished ! She must be now well on her way to the Castle. Yet he could not go. It would be inhuman. Warrington put his two hands to his mouth and sent a deafening shout across the ice. A faint cry answered back. He shouted again to indicate the direction. Then he heard the sound of skates ploughing through the deepening snow straight for him. The sound swerved to the right. \" This way ! \" Warrington roared from the shore. \" This way — damn you ! \" In ten seconds Miss Howard fell exhausted into his arms. It was impossible to keep the snow off her.

She had just had the painful trial of giving notice to the faithful servant who, almost ever since Crystal's birth, in the varied capacities of nurse and housemaid, had lived with them so happily. She had also been compelled to consult with the middle-aged cook, who had been the servant of her own mother, as to whether she was willing to stay on in their altered circumstances, and accept the help of the mistress instead of the housemaid. It is true their kindness and real desire to serve her had both helped and cheered her ; but not the less did she feel the painful necessities of the case. Cook would willingly stay on and strive to do as much as possible the work of two; Jane reluctantly consented to go, when she saw that hesitation would embarrass Evelyn, but she said pathetically and with tears that nothing but necessity should have ever", "152 THE YOUNG COVENANTERS.

Bernard had taken from his pocket the following draft of the covenant, by which he proposed to knit the bonds of love and amity connecting Bones and himself yet more tightly than they were already. Thus it ran : — \" We, the undersigned, do hereby covenant and agree one with another, and in the sight of God, and with prayer to him for the sake of Jesus Christ, to keep the following promises or articles of our covenant sacred all our lives long. \" First. That whatever circumstances may happen to either of us, or whatever misfortune may befall us, we pledge ourselves to render all possible assistance, and to maintain perfect faith in each other, knowing each other too well for doubt to enter. \" Second. That we will continue all our lives long the healthy and cleanly practice of abjuring in toto — \" \" That sounds quite covenantish,\" said Bones, inter rupting Chips, and even coining a word in admiration of Bernard's scholarly style of composition. \" Of abjuring in toto,\" repeated Chips, pleased with Paul's approval, \" the use of all species and kinds of strong drink, tobacco, opium, and snuff.\"" ]

[ "OR, THE HEAP OF STONES. 21 At that moment father John happened to present himself at the door of the cell, and the garb of the venerable recluse being in some measure provocative of mirth, Sir Marma duke Travers, who had supposed the cave to be uninhabited, burst into a prolonged fit of coarse laughter, pointing out the object of it at the same time with his rapier to Basil Taunton, who was not slow in reciprocating his com panion's merriment. \" What have we here ?\" cried the knight, as soon as his mirth would suffer him to articulate ; \" neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, methinks. An amateur goblin in petti coats !\" \" It is friar Tuck himself,\" quoth Basil. \" Nay, he hath not his development of paunch. God save you, old gentleman !\" said Sir Marmaduke, lifting his hat. Basil Taunton did the same, and both then bowed with an exquisite mock-politeness. \"Amen,\" responded the hermit; \"but, before I can invoke a similar blessing upon yourselves, you must both mend your manners very considerably.\" Sir Marmaduke and Basil laughed again, but more faintly than before ; for they did not expect so spirited a retort from an aged personage like father John. Their insolence, however, did not abate a jot. \" Will you oblige us with the name and address of your tailor ?\" said Sir Marmaduke, in allusion to the eccentric garment patronised by the hermit. \" And also,\" urged Basil, \" if it would not be occasion ing you any serious amount of trouble, with that of your barber, as the style and arrangement of that peruke inspire me with an admiration which language is far too feeble to express.\" The grave features of father John relaxed a little, and he turned a leaf of the book he had been perusing.

Lady Hollyoke slowly and sublimely arose from the oak chair, and made a profound salutation to her guest. It was a very dignified and extraordinary one, and Basil felt glad when the ceremony was over — resting satisfied that his gravity could never remain proof against a second of a corresponding description. Norman then presented him in due form to his sister, and Basil Taunton imme diately grew grave again. \" I am unable to express the debt of gratitude I owe to the preserver of my grandson's life,\" said Lady Hollyoke, relaxing considerably, and laying aside her knitting pins for the evening, an infallible proof that her feelings had been seriously worked upon. Basil bowed. \" How noble, how generous of you,\" cried Mabel, with a heart full of the same sweet gratitude that lighted up the faded features of Lady Hollyoke, and with her beautiful eyes fixed full on those of Basil, \" to rush to the assistance of my brother, perhaps at the peril of your own life ! Pray relate the particulars of this frightful affair to us, my dear Norman.\" Basil murmured something that was quite unintelligible, bowed again, and cast another imploring glance at his friend, which, being interpreted, said, \" You are sufficiently avenged ; for the love of heaven forbear, or you will com pel me to make an immediate, avowal of the whole truth.\" By a clever stroke of ingenuity, therefore, Norman con trived to turn the current of the conversation into a more congenial channel, aud rescue the penitent Basil from the predicament in which he stood; while Lady Hollyoke", "36 HULL, \"Eh, is it not,\" said Basil ; \" no, true ; you are right: he is much altered — bah !

A great proportion had returned from foreign prisons, and were anxious to avenge their former disgrace. On the 15th, at break of day, the advanced posts of the Prussians were attacked near Thuin, and being overwhelmed by superior numbers, were repulsed as far as Marchienne au-Pont. In this retreat they suffered considerable loss from the numerous cavalry of the French. At Marchienne and at Charleroi they made a stand, and attempted to de fend the passage of the Sambre ; but being closely pressed, they were unable to destroy the bridges. Napoleon com manded the attack on Charleroi in person, and the town was taken and retaken several times, but about noon the French established themselves in it, having already advanced about 15 miles. The second French corps, commanded by Marshal Ney, which had effected its passage at Marchienne, proceeded towards Gosselies, on the road to Brussels, and pushing forward a strong advanced guard, repulsed a regiment of Belgians posted at Fresne\\ The third corps continued the pursuit of the Prussians, who retreated in good order to Fleurus. Having here received considerable reinforcements, and Blucher now commanding in person, it was determined to retreat no further. The French made many impetuous attacks on this position, and the contest was continued with alternate and equal success until sunset, when the French retired towards Charleroi, where Napoleon established his head-quarters, and Blucher occupied his former position near Fleurus.", "66 The flower of Napoleon's army, 10,000 strong, approached within about a hundred yards of the very spot on which the Duke stood, — a place on which he resolved to perish or con quer the seeming unconquerable force now so near him. On the result hung the fate of the battle, and of nations. The critical moment arrived, Wellington cried out, \" Up, guards, and at 'em ! \" This produced an effect sudden and simultaneous : they received this army, we may say, for midable to any troops unlike themselves, with a well directed fire, which pierced them to the centre, and verily made them halt. The second, like the first, poured hundreds of deaths into the astonished assailants ; and without suffering this gigantic mass to deploy, the guards gave them three British cheers, accompanied by one of their own charges of the bayonet, which, almost as sudden as the electric fluid, found its way to every nerve. This prodigious body of veteran force was paralysed, and became disjointed; and, hastily turning about, fled in dis order. The form of this huge column was shaped out by the dying and the dead. To remedy the disgrace of their companions, a regiment of the tirailleurs of the guards at tempted to flank the British guards, who instantly charged them, when they made a motion to follow their comrades, which was carried nem. con. It is said that Napoleon was so enraged at what he termed the obstinate resistance of the British, that he continued without intermission to take large pinches of snuff from his waistcoat pocket, snuffing a part and throwing the rest away with a violent extension of the arm, exclaiming, \" These English are devils! Will they never be beaten?\" Imme diately afterwards he added, \" I shall beat them yet ; but it is a pity to destroy such brave troops.\" He then turned to" ]

Unter Eitel Friedrich VII., einem kaiserlichen Kriegsobersten, blieb das Land bei der Wichtigkeit der Feste Zollern von den Schrecken des dreissigjährigen Kriegs nicht länger verschont; ja, nach der Eroberung der Burg gehorchte Hechingen ein Jahr lang den Würtembergern. Auch in den Reichskriegen gegen Frankreich wird die Burg Z. öfters genannt; Oest reich durfte gegen eine jährliche Abgabe von 5000 Gulden erforderlichen Falls eine Besatzung in dieselbe legen. Als Friedrich VII. 1661 vor BudwTeis starb, beerbte ihn sein jüngster Bruder Friedrich Philipp, der bis dahin Dom herr zu Strassburg und Cöln gewesen war, nun aber in den weltlichen Stand zurücktrat. Dessen ältester Sohn Friedrich Wilhelm nahm als östreichischer General an den Türken kriegen Antheil; während seiner Abwesenheit entstand jedoch in seinem Erblande ein Aufruhr, der nur durch eine kaiser liche Commission geschlichtet werden konnte. Friedrich Wilhelm (f 1735) erhielt durch Gunst des Kaisers die Reichsfürstenwürde für alle seine Nachkommen und hat sich ausserdem durch die Erbverträge mit den stammverwandten Häusern in Brandenburg und Franken (s. n, 1684 ff.) bekannt gemacht. Ueber seine Nachfolger vergl. Stamm tafel XI a. und Vöhringen bekam Karl II. (f 1606). Sein Sohn Johann wurde 1658 in den Reichsfürstenstand erhoben; in dessen blieben die Herrschaften Haigerloch, Vöhringen und Wöhrstein Lehen von Oestreich, und völlige Landeshoheit hat diese Linie nicht besessen. Es folgten nacheinander Meinrad I. (1638—81), Maximilian I. (—89), Mein rad II. ( — 1702), dessen Mutter, die Tochter des Grafen Albrecht von Bergen, Erbin bedeutender Güter in den Nie derlanden war. Meinrads II. ältester Sohn Joseph Fried rich Ernst wurde Fürst von Sigmaringen, auch kaiser licher Rath und General, während sein jüngerer Bruder Franz Wilhelm Nicolaus die Nebenlinie Hohenzollern-Berg stiftete, die jedoch schon 1781 mit seinem Sohne erlosch, worauf die niederländischen Besitzungen an die Hauptlinie zurückfielen. Karl Friedrich, der Sohn Joseph Friedrich Ernsts, starb 1787; ihm folgte Anton Aloys Meinrad Franz, der 1803 durch den Reichsdeputations-Hauptschluss statt der abgetretenen niederländischen Güter die Herrschaft Glatt und drei Klöster erhielt, 1806 dem Rheinbund beitrat und als weitere Entschädigung neben zwei andern Klöstern die ehe mals in Besitz des deutschen Ordens befindlichen Herrschaften Achberg und Hohenfels, sowie die Landeshoheit über meh rere Grafschaften der Reichsritterschaft ( Gammertingen, Hettingen, Trocbtelfingen und Jungenau) erwarb. 1815 wurde Fürst Anton in den deutschen Bund aufgenommen und erhielt die niederländischen Besitzungen zurück, jedoch ohne Landeshoheit. Durch das FamiUenstatut vom 24. Jan. 1821 wurde das Vcrhältniss Sigmaringens (und Hechingens) zu dem Chef des Gesammthauses, dem König von Preussen, neuerdings geregelt. 1831 folgte Karl Anton Friedrich, seit 1808 mit Antoinette Murat, der Nichte des ehemaligen Königs von Neapel, vermählt, nach dessen Tode (1848) sein Sohn Karl Anton die Regieruug antrat, die jedoch schon im folgenden Jahre an die Krone Preussen überging. Fürst Herman,n Friedrich Otto (1798 — 1810) verlor 1803 die niederländischen Herrschaften, die er von seiner Mutter ererbt hatte, wurde aber durch die Herrschaft Hirsch latt und das Kloster Gnadenthal entschädigt.

[ "SKYE AND ADJACENT ISLANDS. 113 It is high water at Portree on the days of full and change of the moon at 6h. 32m. local time, to which add 25 minutes for Greenwich time. The mean range of ordinary spring-tides is 15 feet, and of neaps, 6£ feet. The variation ofthe compass in January, 1857, was 27° W. When leaving Portree Harbour, and sailing to the southward, the coast about Toum Point, on the south side of the entrance to the bay, must have a wide berth given to it, on account of the Pin Rocks, which extend from the land a cable's length. These rocks are only partially visible, and are dangerous, the water close to them being very deep, so that vessels getting too near the shore may inadvertently run on them. A mark that has been given to keep clear of them is Portree Town in sight, bearing N. W. £ W. ; it will, however, be more prudent not to approach the land nearer than a quarter of a mile. At about 2 miles south of Toum Point there is a small open bay called Camas Inivaig, in which is a depth of 4 to 2 fathoms. Shelter is only from the northward, and it is recommended not to remain long, the exposure being very great. At 2 miles south of Camas Inivaig is Ardvonish Point, forming the western side of Raasay Narrows, a little before reaching which you will meet a small rocky islet, having 5 and 6 fathoms close-to all round. This point projects half a mile from the line of coast, and has a rocky ledge extending out from its southern part 1£ cable's length. On its southern side it forms with the coast an open bay named Balmeanach, in which the depth is 8 to 7 fathoms. LOCH SLIGICxIAN.— At 1£ mile southward of Ardvonish Point is Bal-na-roinn Point, on the north side of the entrance to Loch Sligichan, which has a rocky ledge extending from it some distance, or nearly over to the opposite side of the loch. This loch is about 2 miles in extent, in a westerly direction, and has a depth of 9 to 6 fathoms on mud and sand. Its entrance is very narrow, and when running in, a leading wind and flood tide, or slack water, are necessary. The anchorage inside is land-locked, and the ground is said to be good for holding. In consequence of the intricacy of the entrance but few vessels make use of the loch, and these are generally under the guidance of some one acquainted with the locality. The best anchorage is off the village of Corriemore, on the south shore. Outside the entrance to Loch Sligichan there is a dangerous rock, dry at low spring-tides. It lies nearly half a mile from the south coast, and is connected to it by shoal water. To clear it on the west side, bring the Lodge-house, on Ferry Point, in one with the peak of Glamair Mountain, bearing W.S.W. £ S. LOCH AINNEART. — At about 2 miles to the E.S.E.-ward of Loch Sligichan is the channel Caolas Scalpa or Loch Na-cairidh, the narrow but deep passage separating Scalpa Island from Skye. On the western side of this passage there is a narrow inlet 2 miles long in i", "SKYE AND ADJACENT ISLANDS. 114 a westerly direction, named Loch Ainneart, in which the depth is 25 to 11 fathoms. The access to this place is easy, and when within vessels may anchor in a moderate depth on good ground and be perfectly sheltered from all winds, although some inconvenience is occa sionally experienced by the squalls from the mountains in rough weather. A sand-bank on the port side of the entrance extends nearly one-third over the lock, and has upon it in some places not more than 10 feet water, and at its upper end only 6 feet. Large ships may anchor anywhere on the port side, and small vessels above this bank, on the south side — where the depth is less. The south end of Scalpa Island is connected to Skye by a shallow flat, over which small vessels can pass only at high tide. In consequence of this flat, such shipmasters as intend anchoring in Loch Na-cairidh must pass round the north end of Scalpa, and can then run up at convenience ; it is, however, necessary to give the shore below Dunarua a berth on account of a shoal of 9 feet water, extending a cable's length from it. From Scalpa Island the coast of Skye runs about 7 miles in an E.S.E. direction to Kyle Akin, the narrow entrance to Loch Alsh. It is bordered nearly the whole distance by a rocky ledge, and has, at about a mile from it, the islets of Paba and Guillamion. PABA is about a mile in extent, of a circular form, and very fertile. It is scarcely 60 feet in height, and surrounded on all sides by a foul shore, the reef running out in some places to nearly half a mile. The south-eastern side is elevated and abrupt, but the opposite one declines gradually to the water's edge. Close to the reef the depth is about 7 fathoms. Upon the extremity of that part of the reef running from the south side of the island, towards Skye, is an iron frame beacon, between which and the island of Paba no vessel should attempt to pass. The channel separating the south side of Paba from Skye is also narrowed by a reef extending from the latter. It has a depth of 7 to 10 fathoms, and requires great care to navigate. Guillamion. This is a small islet situate about half a mile from the south-east side of Scalpa. It is 40 or 50 feet in height, and abrupt all round. Close to it are soundings of 6 to 20 fathoms. SCALPA is an oval-shaped island of about 3 miles in extent, separated from Skye by a narrow ehannel, through which vessels of the smallest size may pass at high tide. It may be said to consist of a single mountain having an uneven summit and rounded outlines ; perhaps in its most elevated part it is less than 1000 feet high. Its surface is grassy, but frequently rocks appear above the soil, and give it a varied appearance. Occasionally low rocks are found on the shore, rising towards the north east into cliffs of moderate elevation ; but the greater part of the island descends by a gentle declivity to the sea, particularly towards Loch Na-cairidh. The latter is a noted rendezvous for the herring-fleet. Longa. At about a mile from the east side of Scalpa, and separated from it", "THE OUTLYING ISLANDS. 163 have considerable depth. It is said that the current has a tendency to the southward in the summer time, but this is uncertain. St. Kilda has been described in the following manner by Dr. Macculloch, 1819. \" The high rock Lavenish, near East Bay, is sufficiently conspicuous, since it exceeds 100 feet in height; while it forms an excellent mark for a low rock situate very near and barely covered at high water. Excepting this rock, the whole shore of St. Kilda is so clean that vessels of any draught may range it within bowshot, the water being everywhere of great depth and the cliffs nearly perpendicular. The stream of tide is, also, so inconsiderable that there is little danger from calms, provided that a very moderate offing is secured. On the south-east side of the island is situate the village, under shelter of a long hill which reaches to a great height and wards off the effects of all winds from the N.E. to the S.W. The same ridge shelters the harbour, which is of a semicircular form ; advancing, on each side, at least half a mile into the sea, and forming its boundary. The breadth of this bay at the entrance is equal to its depth ; and as it opens exactly to the S.E., it is evidently exposed to very few winds, and those not from the pre dominant quarters. There is good clean holding-ground within the bay, in a depth ranging from 4 to 7 fathoms, where a vessel of any size may lie for a tide or more, with fully as great security as in most ordinary harbours ; while there is at the same time no difficulty in weighing and running to sea on either tack, should the wind shift so as to blow on shore. In moderate weather, unless there is a sea from the eastward, a boat can easily land on the smooth shelving rocks near the village, the activity of the natives always ensuring her from being washed back by the second surge. The position and depth of the bay must also render it apparent, that although there should be a westerly swell, as is generally the case, it cannot be very great on a shore so embayed, unless when it has risen to a considerable degree. The truth is, that seamen, impressed with a false notion of the dangers of St. Kilda, shun its coast when they might often find a convenient temporary refuge in its harbour ; to them indeed unknown.* This bay is not the only place of refuge. On the north-west side of the island there is also an anchorage, with smooth water in a South or East wind, and with the same facility of running to sea. A boat can also land here on the low rocks which skirt this part of the island. It is high water at St. Kilda when the moon is S.E. and the course of the flood is northerly. Within the bay at the south-east side of the island the land falls by a steep declivity to the sea, part of it terminating in a sandy and stony beach, * \"An instance of great inconvenience from this cause occurred not long before my visit, in the case ofa merchant ship from the West Indies. The crew had been for three weeks on short allowance of water, and this island was the first land that was made. Here they were becalmed for two days, and nearly perishing with thirst; but there being a considerable swell, they would not venture their boat within a mile of the shore, when a landing might probably have been effected with the greatest ease.\" — Dr. Macculloch.

Si l'administralion des finances forme notre point de vue, deux élections se présentent, celle d'Angoulême de la généralité de Limoges, celle de Cognac de la généralité de La Rochelle, qui s'étendent même l'une et l'autre sur des paroisses ou des hameaux qui ne sont pas de cette séné chaussée. Cette diversité produit d'abord quel que surprise ; mais elle se dissipe bientôt, si l'on réfléchit que la même variété se rencontre dans les autres provinces, quoiqu'il ne soit pas fa cile de remonter jusqu'à l'origiue, et que la cause peut en avoir été arbitraire. On peut le considérer de différentes manières. Si c'est suivant son diocèse, il est fort resserré : du côté de l'orient par celui de Limoges, du midi par celui de Périgueux, du couchant par celui de Saintes, et du septentrion par celui de Poitiers , quoiqu'il s'étende en certains cantons sur quelques paroisses de ces mêmes provinces.

[ "TO NORTH AMERICA. 19 and the Settler has built himself a house ; has brought his garden into a good state of cultivation; has planted an orchard, which is thriving, has cleared his land ; and thinks his hardships are at an end, he is overwhelm ed with ruin, that, comes upon him like a violent thunder storm in summer, which breaks upon the traveller on a sunshiny, pla cid, day, and bears down all before it, in ruin and destruction. The law of the United States is, that land which has been sold under a distress for taxes can be redeemed within three years, by the original proprietor, on paying those taxes and the expenses. This law was framed no doubt on humane principles, that the industrious Settler in a new country should not have his little property wholly alienated from him, for a tax, without giving him time to exert him self for its redemption: but this humane clause has degenerated into a species of swindling, than which- perhaps there is not a more atro cious specimen on the face of the globe. This accounts for the apathy of the Americans in purchasing at these sales ; and they are too strongly bound together in this chain of ini quity, to inform a well meaning stranger, igno rant of their laws, of what he has to expect, as to the result of his purchase. When three years are thus nearly elapsed,", "TO NORTH AMERICA. 33 Settlers ; strong, active, and fearless, owing to the life they lead — without religious or mo ral feelings — they plunder and murder the In dians without any provocation, or plea, but to obtain their property ; and plunder in like manner the Settlers when opportunities suit : these \" Hunters\", as they are termed, occa sionally fall in with the residence of the soli tary Settler ; and repeated instances have oc curred, when the husband has been from home with his gun, for him to find on his return, his cabin plundered of his winter stock of provisions, his wife violated, and some of his daughters carried oft, respecting whom he ne ver more hears tidings ; and of whose melan choly fate he ever remains in total ignorance.
