United States Supreme Court
149 U.S. 605
Evans v. Stettnisch
The record of the trial shows that the parties appeared by their attorneys; discloses no application for a postponement, no objection to proceeding at the time, and no error in the course of the trial. As against this, there is an affidavit, which, as certified by the clerk, is among the files in the case. For several reasons this is insufficient.
In the first place, only errors apparent on the record can be considered; and an affidavit filed for use on a motion is not part of the record, any more than the deposition of a witness used on the trial, and only becomes a part of the record by being incorporated in a bill of exceptions. Stewart v. Ranche Co., 128 U.S. 383, 9 Sup. Ct. Rep. 101; Backus v. Clark, 1 Kan. 303; Altschiel v. Smith, 9 Kan. 90; Junks v. School Dist., 18 Kan. 356; Tiffin v. Forrester, 8 Mo. 642; McDonald v. Arnout, 14 Ill. 58; Smith v. Wilson, 26 Ill. 186.
In the second place, there is nothing to show that this was the only affidavit. The certificate of the clerk is simply 'that the foregoing folios, from 1 to 13, contain true and faithful transcripts from the records and files of said court in the case of Moses Evans v. Anna Stettnisch et al.' This certificate may be true, and yet a dozen affidavits contradicting the statements in this have been filed and used on the motion.
In the third place, if it were affirmatively shown that there was only the one affidavit, that is not sufficient to overthrow the recital in the record. The record imports absolute verity; an affidavit of a witness does not; and when the court, which, in addition, may be supposed to have personal knowledge of the fact, sustains the recital in the record as against the statement in the affidavit, its ruling cannot on review be adjudged erroneous.
In the fourth place, the statements in the affidavit are not necessarily a denial of the truth of the recital in the journal entry of the trial. The plaintiff was represented, as shown by the pleadings, by two counsel. This affidavit is by one only, and it is that no notice was given to plaintiff or affiant. The other counsel may have had notice and appeared, and consented to everything that was done. If so, plaintiff has no semblance of a cause for complaint. The judgment is affirmed.

THE DESERT GARDEN
# Ebony and Crystal/The Caravan

THE CARAVAN
My dreams are like a caravan that departed long ago, with tumult of intrepid banners and spears, and the clamour of bugles and brave, adventurous songs, to seek the horizons of perilous untried barbaric lands, and kingdoms immense and vaguely rumoured, with cities beautiful and opulent as the cities of Paradise, and deep Edenic vales of palm and cinnamon and myrrh, lying beneath skies of primeval azure silence. For traffic in the realms of mystery and wonder, in the marts of scarce-imaginable cities, and metropoli a million leagues away, on the last horizon of romance, my dreams departed, as a caravan with its laden camels. Since then, the years are many, the days have flown as the flocks of southering swallows; unnumbered moons have multiplied in fugitive silver, uncounted suns in irretainable gold. But, alas, my dreams have not returned. Have the swirling sands engulfed them, on a noon of storm when the desert rose like the sea, and rolled its tawny billows on the walled gardens of the green and fragrant lands? Or perished they, devoured by the crimson demons of thirst, and the ghouls and vultures? Or live they still, as captives in alien dungeons not to be ascertained, or held by a wizard spell in palaces demon-built, and cities baroque and splendid as the cities in a tale from the Thousand and One Nights?

# Ebony and Crystal/The Flower-Devil

THE FLOWER-DEVIL
In a basin of porphyry, at the summit of a pillar of serpentine, the thing has existed from primeval time, in the garden of the kings that rule an equatorial realm of the planet Saturn. With black foliage, fine and intricate as the web of some enormous spider; with petals of livid rose, and purple like the purple of putrefying flesh; and a stem rising like a swart and hairy wrist from a bulb so old, so encrusted with the growth of centuries that it resembles an urn of stone, the monstrous flower holds dominion over all the garden. In this flower, from the years of the oldest legend, an evil demon has dwelt—a demon whose name and whose nativity are known to the superior magicians and mysteriarchs of the kingdom, but to none other. Over the half-animate flowers, the ophidian orchids that coil and sting, the bat-like lilies that open their ribbèd petals by night, and fasten with tiny yellow teeth on the bodies of sleeping dragonflies; the carnivorous cacti that yawn with green lips beneath their beards of poisonous yellow prickles; the plants that palpitate like hearts, the blossoms that pant with a breath of venomous perfume—over all these, the Flower-Devil is supreme, in its malign immortality, and evil, perverse intelligence—inciting them to strange maleficence, fantastic mischief, even to acts of rebellion against the gardeners, who proceed about their duties with wariness and trepidation, since more than one of them has been bitten, even unto death, by some vicious and venefic flower. In places, the garden has run wild from lack of care on the part of the fearful gardeners, and has become a monstrous tangle of serpentine creepers, and hydra-headed plants, convolved and inter-writhing in lethal hate or venomous love, and horrible as a rout of wrangling vipers and pythons.
And, like his innumerable ancestors before him, the king dares not destroy the Flower, for fear that the devil, driven from its habitation, might seek a new home, and enter into the brain or body of one of the king's subjects—or even the heart of his fairest and gentlest, and most beloved queen!

# Ebony and Crystal/The Garden and the Tomb

THE GARDEN AND THE TOMB
I know a garden of flowers—flowers lovely and multiform as the orchids of far, exotic worlds—as the flowers of manifold petal, whose colours change as if by enchantment in the alternation of the triple suns; flowers like tiger lilies from the garden of Satan; like the paler lilies of paradise, or the amaranths on whose perfect and immortal beauty the seraphim so often ponder; flowers fierce and splendid like the crimson or golden flowers of fire; flowers bright and cold as the crystal flowers of snow; flowers whereof there is no likeness in any world of any sun; which have no symbol in heaven or in hell.
Alas! in the heart of the garden is a tomb—a tomb so trellised and embowered with vine and blosssom, that the sunlight reveals the ghastly gleam of its marble to no careless or incurious scrutiny. But in the night, when all the flowers are still, and their perfumes are faint as the breathing of children in slumber—then, and then only, the serpents bred of corruption crawl from the tomb, and trail the fetor and phosphorescence of their abiding-place from end to end of the garden.

# Epilogue to Asolando

Asolando was Browning's last book and this poem is addressed to a loved one who survives the speaker ; written in 1889.
At the midnight in the silence of the sleep-time,  When you set your fancies free, Will they pass to where―by death, fools think, imprisoned― Low he lies who once so loved you, whom you loved so,  ―Pity me?   Oh to love so, be so loved, yet so mistaken!  What had I on earth to do With the slothful, with the mawkish, the unmanly? Like the aimless, helpless, hopeless, did I drivel!  ―Being―who?   One who never turned his back but marched breast forward,  Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better,  Sleep to wake.   No, at noonday in the bustle of man’s work-time  Greet the unseen with a cheer! Bid him forward, breast and back as either should be, ‘Strive and thrive!’ cry, ‘Speed,―fight on, fare ever  There as here!’

What dost thou in that mansion fair? Flit, Galloway, and find Some narrow, dirty, dungeon cave, The picture of thy mind.
No Stewart art thou, Galloway, The Stewarts 'll were brave; Besides, the Stewarts were but fools, Not one of them a knave.
Bright ran thy line, O Galloway, Thro' many a far-fam'd sire! So ran the far-famed Roman way, And ended in a mire.
Spare me thy vengeance, Galloway! In quiet let me live: I ask no kindness at thy hand, For thou hast none to give.

# Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period/Erdeni

Layout 2
​ERDENI 額爾德尼, d. 1623, of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner, was a member of the Nara clan whose ancestral home was in Duyengge 都英額. He distinguished himself as a youth by his knowledge of the Mongol and Chinese languages and after joining the service of Nurhaci [q. v.] was useful to him as an interpreter and was given the title, baksi (巴克什, professor). Prior to 1599 there was no system of writing in use among the Manchus, so that it was necessary, before messages and proclamations could be transmitted, to translate them into Mongol which was written in vertical columns from left to right. In 1599 Nurhaci ordered Erdeni and Gagai 噶蓋 (d. 1599) to evolve a written medium for the Manchu speech. They are said to have replied in favor of continuing Mongol as an international language, but at Nurhaci's insistence they adopted the practice of writing the native Manchu words in a modified form of the Mongol alphabet. Gagai ​was executed in the same year, but Erdeni and others began translating a number of Chinese works into the Manchu tongue, thus laying the foundation of a national literature.
Despite these services Erdeni appears to have fallen into disfavor with Nurhaci. Anticipating the confiscation of his property, he entrusted a quantity of gold and pearls to his brother-in-law. When these were discovered in 1623 Erdeni and his wife were executed on the charge of accumulating and concealing valuables. Nurhaci's successor, Abahai [q. v.], ordered that Erdeni should be posthumously adopted into the Hešeri clan, into the family of the brothers Šose and Hife (for both, see under Songgotu) who were also from Duyengge and who had also played an important part in the formation of the Manchu language. In 1654 Erdeni was granted by Emperor Shih-tsu the posthumous name Wên-ch'êng 文成. The system of writing developed by Erdeni continued in use until 1632 when it was revised by Dahai [q. v.]. Manuscripts in the earlier form are rare, but about thirty volumes of them have been found in the Palace Museum, accompanied by translations into "modern" pointed Manchu made in the Ch'ien-lung period.

## Possibly Subversive Flower Arrangements

# Facts and Fancies about Our "Son of the Woods", Henry Clarence Kendall and his Poetry/Preface

PREFACE.
From the unpretentious title of this Essay—one may call it—on Henry C. Kendall and his poetry, my readers may understand that it is written simply as a kind of Preparatory Reading-book to the higher study of the more perfect songs of the poet known to the general public through the medium of the volumes of his works, entitled "Leaves from the Forests," "Songs from the Mountains," and "Kendall's Poems." The homely manner in which "Facts and Fancies" are herein retailed may not be considered an objection by the class of readers desired—that is, those who wish to know something of the private life of the poet, his character as a man, and his aims as a writer. We do not assume the office of a critic in this Essay, nor yet that of a biographer, in the strict sense of that word. At the same time this humble effort may possibly throw certain sidelights on both the character and works of the poet, such as shall have the effect of helping to clear away many misrepresentations and misunderstandings of that genuinely good and wonderfully gifted man, to whom we have given so little and to whom we owe so much. To his "would-be detractors" I would say, "If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee."
And to those who would deery Kendall "as a personality" because he was extremely delicately framed (which, strange to say, I have heard put forward as a reason why one should not be too enthusiastic in one's admiration for the poet), to such deeriers I would recall the words of the Psalmist as to whom the Creator of all chooses to favour with His special gifts, as a rule:
He delighteth not in the strength of a horse, He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man: The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that hope for His mercy.

​GRÄFE, Heinrich (1802-1868), educationist, was born at Buttstädt in Weimar, 3d May 1802, studied mathematics and theology at Jena, and in 1823 obtained a curacy in the stadtkirche of Weimar. Thence he was transferred to Jena as rector of the town school in 1825; in 1840 he was also appointed extraordinary professor of the science of education (Pädagogik) in that university; and in 1842 he became head of the bürgerschule in Cassel. After reorganizing the schools of the town, he became director of the new realschule in 1843; and, devoting himself with great zeal and energy to the interests of educational reform in electoral Hesse, he became in 1849 a member of the school commission, and also entered the house of representatives, where he attached himself to the democratic party and made himself somewhat formidable as an agitator. In 1852 for having been implicated in the September riots and in the movement against the unpopular minister Hassenpflug (who had dissolved the school commission) he was condemned to three years imprisonment, a sentence which was afterwards reduced to one of twelve months. On his release he withdrew to Geneva, where he engaged in educational work till 1855, when he was appointed director of the school of industry at Bremen. He died in that city 21st July 1868.
Besides being the author of many text-books and occasional papers on educational subjects, he wrote Das Rechtsverhältniss der Volksschule von innen u. aussen (1829); Die Schulreform (1834); Schule u. Unterricht (1839); Allgemeine Pädagogik (1845); Die Deutsche Volkschule (1847). Along with Naumann, he also edited the Archiv für das praktische Volkschulwesen (1828-35).
