# Littell's Living Age/Volume 139/Issue 1794/True

* TRUE.
* True to the promise of thy far-off youth,
* When all who loved thee, for thee prophesied
* A grand, full life, devoted to the truth,
* A noble cause by suffering sanctified.
* True to all beauties of the poet-thought
* Which made thy youth so eloquent and sweet;
* True to all duties which thy manhood brought
* To take the room of fancies light and fleet.
* True to the steadfast walk and narrow way,
* Which thy forefathers of the covenant trod!
* True to thy friend in foul or sunny day,
* True to thy home, thy country, and thy God;
* True to the world, which still is false to thee,
* And true to all — as thou art true to me.
* True to the vow that bound us in the lane,
* That summer evening when the brown bird sang,
* Piercing the silence with sweet notes of pain,
* While echoes over all the woodland rang.
* True to the troth we plighted on that day,
* Each to forsake all other for the one;
* Cleaving together through the unknown Way,
* Till death made void the union then begun.
* True to the love brought by a little hand:
* True — though the patter of the childish feet
* Have passed from earth into the silent land;
* Loss hallows love, and love is still complete:
* I can lift up mine eyes from teardrops free,
* For thou art true to all these things — and me.
* All The Year Round.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 139/Issue 1795/Holyday

* HOLYDAY.
* Half-Greek adown the Highland glen
* And singing to the open sky,
* I passed beyond the ways of men
* And found my vale in Arcady.
* The bees were drowsy on the slope,
* The air was wondrous sweet and still,
* And all my heart beat high with hope
* Of marvels on the Grecian hill.
* The light cloak from my shoulders flew,
* My bare brown limbs were light and free;
* The lark whose rapture thrilled me through
* Was but a singing bird to me:
* For I was Greek in Hellas' prime
* And singing to the clear bright air,
* And Grecian bees were in the thyme
* And the lost charm in all things fair.
* Hills beyond hills from blue to grey
* Faint to the misty Highland sky,
* But I have been an hour away
* In my own vale of Arcady.
* From tree to tree the whisper creeps,
* "Look, sister, at the wayward man!
* His are the eyes of one who sleeps
* Within the vale Arcadian."
* "Hush, hush!" the pine-tree sighs, "and look,"
* The lav'rock peeps from heather sweet,
* And headlong streams the Highland brook
* To break in laughter at my feet.

# McCain Statement on Strike on Iraq

January 13, 1993
I support the President's decision to launch this action against Iraq in response to Saddam Hussein's failure to comply with United Nations resolutions. His continued failure to comply with international law merits a condemnation of the world and this decisive action by the world community. Once again Saddam Hussein has grossly misjudged the determination of the American people and their leaders. His effort to take advantage of the transition from Bush to Clinton Administrations obviously failed to take into account the bipartisan support of all Americans and our elected leaders.

# McCain Speaks On Behalf Of Mary Peters As Nominee For U.S. Secretary Of Transportation

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
"Thank you. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to the Committee Mary Peters, who has been nominated to serve as the 15th Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Of course, most of you are already familiar with Mary through her nearly four sears of service as the Administrator of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), from 2001 - 2005.
"Mary Peters is a fourth generation Arizonan and was the director of the Arizona Department of Transportation, known as A-DOT, prior to taking the helm at FHWA. She gained nearly 16 years of first-hand transportation agency experience during her service at ADOT and another 4 years at FHWA. This hands-on experience will serve her well in fulfilling the duties of the Secretary, and I commend the President for selecting such an outstanding and capable individual to fill this important leadership position.
"Mary has a long and accomplished professional record and has often received well-deserved recognition for her efforts, whether in Washington, D.C. or in Arizona. For example, she has received numerous awards throughout her career from the Women's Transportation Seminar, including the 2004 National Woman of the Year Award. She has also received awards from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (ASHTO), the National Council on Public Private Partnerships and the American Road and Transportation Builders Association. And not surprising, Mary also been recognized as one of the Top 100 Who's Who of Arizona Women in Business, and as the Most Influential Person in Arizona in Transportation.
"On a personal side, Mary is one of the kindest persons you'd ever want to know. She is a great humanitarian and is genuinely interested in the lives of all of her employees. I am told Mary not only knew the name of every Arizona DOT employee by their names, but she also knew the names of their spouses and children. She understands the importance of family and friends and she shows it every day in her care and concern for those around her.
"And finally, I cannot resist mentioning something from Mary's past that I hope she will rely on as she works to meet the challenges she will face as the DOT Secretary.
"Before Mary became involved in transportation, she was in the butchering business. She made her living by cutting pork. As I said during her last confirmation hearing, this background should come in very handy and I urge her to rely heavily on her past pork-cutting expertise as she works to carry out her new responsibilities. Mary will undoubtedly face unlimited requests to support and fund members pork projects but to the extent of her authority, those projects would more appropriately deserve the same treatment that she mastered as a butcher. Thank you."

# Madras Journal of Literature and Science/Series 1/Volume 6/Heights of the Neilgherry Hills

VII.—Heights of the Neilgherry Hills.—By Captain J. Underwood, Madras Engineers.
In the very interesting paper on the geological features of the Neilgherries by Dr. Benza (No. 13 of the Journal) the height of Sispara at the Koondahs above the sea has been recorded as about 5620 feet. Several observations by myself with a very good glass barometer fix the height alluded to at 6742 feet, and as I am not aware that a section over the hills from north to south has either been taken or published before, I have the pleasure to forward herewith the barometrical heights from the foot of the Koondah ghaut to Ootacamund, and thence down the New Seegoor ghaut to Seegoor at the foot of the latter.
Table of heights above the level of the sea:
| Koondahs | Sholay, bottom of the Koondah ghaut | 893.11 | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Koondahs | Bamboos cease | 1757.6 | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Koondahs | Ladder hill (bottom of) | 2972. | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Koondahs | Vullycand camp (top of ridge) | 4140.3 | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Koondahs | Vullyaur (river) | 4050.6 | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Koondahs | Murray pelt bungalow | 6742. | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Avalanche range. | Avalanche ridge, top of | 7732.37 | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Avalanche range. | Avalanche bungalow (at bottom of ridge) | 6720.2 | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
| Avalanche range. | Ootacamund lake level | 7361 | South westerly direction from Ootamund |
Koondahs.
New See-goer ghaut.
Commencing at the Seven Cairn Hill.
Blink Bonnie, 4 miles from Ootac. top of New Seegoor ghaut 7204
Sapperpoorum 1 mile down 6758.5
Stonehenge about 2 miles down 6182.17
Red Hill below Kulhutty, Burgher village about three miles down 5940.5
Waterfall point, proposed site for traveller's bungalow, about four miles down, and eight from Ootacamund. 5538.8
Adam's Peak, north end of large basin, about 4½ miles down. 4982.8
Giant's glen, about 5 miles down 4296.5
Tent mydan, about 5½ miles 4001
Bamboos begin hereabouts
Large nullah, bottom of ghaut 3408.9
Seegoor 3393.6
North direction from Ootacamund.
It is much to be regretted that my friend Dr. Benza did not find his way down the new ghaut, for (beauty of scenery apart) the features of the country are most extraordinary, and well worthy the attention of one so capable of delighting both the Scientific and general reader.
# Memoirs on the Coleoptera/Volume 1/New Species of the Staphylinid Tribe Myrmedoniini/Tribe Myrmidoniini/Group Athetæ/Atheta/Lamiota

Lamiota n. subgen.
Mesosternal process rather long, extending nearly to apical fourth of the coxæ, rather wide, the apical-prolonged part becoming parallel, with its apex rounded and separated from the short and very broad angulate metasternal projection by a moderate interval; the first four joints of the hind tarsi are equal, the infra-lateral carinæ of the head very fine and feeble, though nearly entire, and the eyes moderate in size. The type is the following:
* Atheta (Lamiota) keeni n. sp.—Rather stout, moderately convex, strongly shining though sharply micro-reticulate, the punctures fine but subgranose, the abdomen minutely and feebly, transversely strigilate; black, the elytra piceous, the legs and antennal base pale flavo-testaceous; remainder of the antennæ black; head well developed, with a small impressed puncture in both sexes, the eyes rather prominent, at their own length from the base; antennæ rather long and very gradually and moderately incrassate, the outer joints wider than long; prothorax strongly transverse, much longer than the prothorax, very finely but sharply, not very densely punctuato-granulose; abdomen almost as wide as the elytra, nearly sculptureless, subparallel, very feebly narrowed toward tip, the fourth and fifth tergites equal in length. Male with the pronotum impressed in median third from near the apex to the base, the sixth tergite with a long pointed compressed process at each side of the broad apex, the edge between the processes evenly and broadly arcuate and tuberculato-crenate; female with the pronotal impression narrow, very feeble and visible basally. Length 3.0-3.4 mm.; width 0.75-0.85 mm. British Columbia (Metlakatla),—Keen, 452.
This strikingly distinct species is dedicated with pleasure to Rev. J. H. Keen, who has made many interesting discoveries among the small clavicorn Coleoptera of the northern coast of British Columbia.
# Memoirs on the Coleoptera/Volume 1/New Species of the Staphylinid Tribe Myrmedoniini/Tribe Myrmidoniini/Group Athetæ/Atheta/Macroterma

Macroterma Csy.
* Atheta (Macroterma) iowensis n. sp.—As small as dentata and relatively narrower and more parallel, the antennæ much larger, stouter and more incrassate, the eleventh joint less acutely pointed; black, the elytra and legs pale piceo-flavate; antennæ blackish throughout; head distinctly narrower than the prothorax, the eyes less prominent than in dentata; prothorax parallel, evenly rounded at the sides, finely punctuate and moderately pubescent; elytra large, slightly transverse, with feebly diverging sides, distinctly wider and very much longer than the prothorax; abdomen moderately narrow; parallel, the fifth tergite (♂) with a very small and sharply elevated tubercle close to the hind margin and more posterior in position than the somewhat similar tubercle of dentata, the sixth tergite with a slightly projecting and broadly arcuate apical lobe, about a third as wide as the basal width of the segment, the lobe with two short carinæ separated by a concavity at each side of its surface, the median part more arcuate and with a minute median sinus at apex, the segmental apex at each side of the lobe unevenly crenulate and wrinkled. Length 2.7 mm; width 0.7 mm. Iowa (Iowa City),—Wickham.
The specimens at hand are gummed alongside of a large black ant, having the pedunculated abdomen relatively very stout, but it is hardly assumable that the beetle and ant are associated very closely.
# Memoirs on the Coleoptera/Volume 1/New Species of the Staphylinid Tribe Myrmedoniini/Tribe Myrmidoniini/Group Athetæ/Atheta/Megista

Megista Rey.
The following species agrees very well with subplana in all its structural characters, including nearly obsolete infra-lateral carinæ of the head, short basal joint of the hind tarsi and approximate middle coxæ, with very short metasternal projection, but the mesosternal process is noticeably longer. Granulata Mann., (Elytrusa Csy.) is closely allied but larger and with a notably larger head and still longer and stouter antennæ; I do not think that granulata can be the same as the European graminicola Grav.
* Atheta (Megista) nomadica n. sp.—Moderately stout, parallel, deep black, moderately convex, rather strongly shining, the elytra not distinctly picescent, the antennæ nearly black, the legs piceous-brown; head small, orbicular, ​the eyes at more than their own length from the base; antennæ long, very moderately incrassate, the tenth joint obtrapezoidal, about as long as wide, the eleventh pointed, almost as long as the two preceding; prothorax distinctly narrower than the elytra and very much wider than the head, relatively larger than in subplana, moderately transverse, parallel and rounded at the sides, very minutely, not closely punctulate and with a rather large but feeble transverse ante-basal impression; elytra large, wider than long, very much longer than the prothorax, the punctures moderately close-set and distinctly but not coarsely graniform, less strongly than in granulata; abdomen parallel, narrower than the elytra, minutely rather sparsely punctulate, much more distinctly and less sparsely than in granulata, where the abdomen is almost sculptureless. Length 3.2 mm.; width 0.78 mm. Alaska (Nome).
Related to granulata but differing in its smaller head, more rounded sides of the prothorax, more punctulate abdomen and smaller size.
# Memoirs on the Coleoptera/Volume 1/New Species of the Staphylinid Tribe Myrmedoniini/Tribe Myrmidoniini/Group Athetæ/Atheta/Phasmota

Phasmota n. subgen.
The type of this subgenus is one of the most minute of the Athetids, of subparallel and moderately convex form, the mesosternal process very short, not extending to the middle of the contiguous coxæ and with its sharply angulate apex finely aciculate, separated from the small but angulate metasternal projection by a very long deep interval, at the bottom of which the longitudinal ridge is very thin and laminiform. The tarsi are moderate, the first four joints of the posterior short and subequal.
* Atheta (Phasmota) ingratula n. sp.—Rather slender, nearly parallel, moderately shining, the punctures very minute and rather close-set, sparse on the abdomen, the vestiture rather close and distinct; color pale piceous, the head darker, the elytra paler, the abdomen feebly clouded medially, the legs pale; head nearly as long as wide, the eyes well developed, nearly as long as the tempora, the latter but feebly swollen, the carinæ fine though clear and even, entire; the antennæ short, very slender basally, gradually and rapidly, strongly incrassate distally, the outer joints strongly transverse, the last longer than the two preceding, the second cylindric, much longer than the third, which is strongly constricted basally; prothorax but slightly transverse, only just visibly wider than the head and a little narrower than the elytra, widest anteriorly, the sides feebly arcuate, straighter basally; elytra somewhat transverse, the suture slightly longer than the prothorax, the apices narrowly and scarcely visibly sinuate externally; abdomen finely, not densely punctate, parallel, only slightly narrower than the elytra, the fifth tergite longer than the fourth. Length 1.22 mm.; width 0.25 mm. Mississippi (Vicksburg).
The contiguous coxæ and short mesosternum betoken some affinity with Metaxya and Hydrosmecta, but the antennæ are wholly at variance. There are no visible sexual modifications.
# Memoirs on the Coleoptera/Volume 1/New Species of the Staphylinid Tribe Myrmedoniini/Tribe Myrmidoniini/Group Athetæ/Atheta/Liogluta

Liogluta Thoms.
As represented by the European longinscula Grav. and nitidula Kr., Liogluta is allied somewhat to Stethusa in the more widely separated middle coxæ, with the mesosternal process rather wide and abruptly arcuato-truncate at tip; it differs from Stethusa in its much smaller eyes, smaller prothorax and generally black coloration. The basal joint of the hind tarsi is equal to the second or a little longer; the infra-lateral carinæ of the head are feebly developed and abbreviated. The following American species agrees very well in structure with the European, except that the metasternal projection is longer and more angulate:
* Atheta (Liogluta) insolens n. sp.—Moderately stout and convex, strongly shining and with obsolescent micro-reticulation, deep black, the antennæ black throughout, the elytra and legs piceous, the former blackish basally; head parallel, well developed, the eyes at more than their own length from the base, the basal angles broadly rounded; antennæ moderate in length; rather rapidly incrassate, the outer joints distinctly wider than long; prothorax transverse, parallel, rounded at the sides, intermediate in width between the head and elytra, not distinctly punctulate and unimpressed; elytra large, slightly transverse, much wider and very much longer than the prothorax, very minutely, not closely punctulate; abdomen almost as wide as the elytra, parallel, with just visibly arcuate sides, almost sculptureless; first four joints of the hind tarsi equal. Length 2.5 mm.; width 0.7 mm. Queen Charlotte Islands (Massett),—Keen.
Differs from vicina and nitidula in its broader abdomen, from the former also in its larger head and prothorax; the antennæ, also, are more rapidly and strongly incrassate than in either. In the ​male of insolens the abdomen is not quite so broad as in the female, and the sixth tergite is trapezoidal, transversely truncate at tip, the truncature feebly and vaguely crenulate, the surface at apex bounded at the side by a feebly oblique narrow straight and even carina, the general surface of the segment strongly micro-reticulate and with numerous large cariniform granules.
# Memoirs on the Coleoptera/Volume 1/New Species of the Staphylinid Tribe Myrmedoniini/Tribe Myrmidoniini/Group Athetæ/Atheta/Micratheta

Micratheta n. subgen.
In this subgenus the body is minute in size and of peculiar parallel convex form, the mesosternal process extending but slightly behind the middle of the coxæ, with its apical part subparallel but rather wide, the apex subacutely rounded and rather closely approaching the long and acute metasternal projection, the intervening narrow ridge not or scarcely depressed and the coxæ well separated. The tarsi seem to be rather long but the posterior are missing in my only example. The hypomera appear to be fully visible from a lateral viewpoint but are rather more inflexed than in Atheta.
* Atheta (Micratheta) caudex n. sp.—Parallel, convex, strongly shining, the reticulation wholly wanting on the head and pronotum but coarse, though not strong, on the elytra and abdomen, becoming transversely wavy on the latter posteriorly, the punctures fine but rather strong, not asperate; color deep black, the elytra piceous, the legs pale; pubescence very inconspicuous; head nearly as long as wide, gradually broadening to the base, the eyes rather small, anterior and not at all prominent, the carinæ very fine but almost entire; antennæ short, gradually and moderately stout and incrassate distally, compact, the outer joints transverse, the last obtuse, not quite as long as the two preceding, the second moderately long, almost as long as the next two combined, the third but little longer than wide; prothorax moderately transverse, large and convex, parallel, the sides very feebly and evenly arcuate from apex to base, distinctly wider than the head and fully as wide as the elytra, unimpressed; elytra short, transverse, the suture ​apparently very slightly shorter than the prothorax, the apices very broadly and feebly sinuate laterally; abdomen parallel, with feebly arcuate sides, fully as wide as the elytra, finely, not densely punctate, the fifth tergite rather shorter than the fourth. Length 1.42 mm.; width 0.4 mm. Virginia (Fort Monroe).
The type and only known specimen of this isolated species flew upon my newspaper while on a steamer in Hampton Roads.

The Love and rage of Highland Donald.
Highland Donald, ſwore a wife was not ſo great an evil, And any but a husband’s life, was ſure a Highland devil.
Then Highland Donald tun’d his pipe, he had been ſome months married; Severely now he feels a whip for Horns our Donald carried.
​Now Highland Donald thump'd his wife, he ſwore ſhe was not civil, And to get quit, he'd part with life, and ſend her to the Devil.
