The Edith
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.
In July, 1870, Buckman & Co., having done work and furnished materials amounting to $3,597.37 in repairing the 'Edith,' while she was lying in navigable waters in her home port of New York, claimed a lien on the ship for materials and repairs, under an act of the State of New York, entitled 'An Act to provide for the collection of demands against ships and vessels,' passed April 24, 1862. Acts of 1862, p. 456. The requisite notice was filed the twenty-seventh day of July, 1870, a few days after the vessel had left that port. Some time after her return, the precise period not appearing, proceedings were instituted by the firm, and an attachment was issued to the sheriff of the city and county of New York, who, after seizing her, discharged her on a satisfactory bond for the claim having been given on behalf of the owner. On the first day of April, 1871, she was libelled in the District Court of the United States, sitting in admiralty, and sold under a decree rendered on the 8th of the following month. After satisfying the decree and subsequent costs, there remained $31,176.82 in the registry of the court. On the 17th of the latter month, the firm filed their petition in that court, praying that so much of the fund as was necessary be applied to the payment of the amount so due them, which they claimed was, at the time it accrued, a lien on the 'Edith,' she being a domestic vessel belonging to the port of New York. At the time of filing the petition, a suit by the firm on the bond, which had been given to release her from the attachment, was pending in the State court.
The petition was resisted by Sedgwick, the assignee in bankruptcy of the owner of the 'Edith,' and by Tyler. To the latter more than the amount of the fund was then due from the owner, who had executed a mortgage therefor on three-fourths of the vessel, Jan. 11, 1870. The instrument was recorded the same day in the New York custom-house, and a copy of it filed in the office of the register of the city and county of New York. There was also a prior mortgage on one-half of the vessel.
The District Court decided that Buckman & Co. had not a lien on the ship, nor any title to such fund as between them and the assignee in bankruptcy and the mortgagees.
The petition of Buckman & Co. was dismissed; and they appealed to the Circuit Court of the United States for that district, whre a decree of affirmance was passed. They then appealed to this court.
Mr. F. A. Wilcox for the appellants.
Mr. E. P. Wheeler, contra.
MR. JUSTICE STRONG delivered the opinion of the court.

# The Folk-Lore Journal/Volume 7/Congress of Folklorists at Paris

THE CONGRESS OF FOLKLORISTS AT PARIS.
HE first Congress of Folklorists has been a decided success, for pleasure as well as usefulness. It began in Paris at the Trocadero on the 29th of July. There were present French, Spaniards, Italians, Russians, Poles, Finns, Swedes, Americans, and Chinese. The regrettable absence of Germans may be better understood than that England should be only represented by Transatlantic cousins.
The officers chosen for the Congress were: President, M. Charles Ploix; Vice-Presidents, Bruyère, de Rialle, Leland, Dragomanor, Nutt, Prato, Nyrop Tcheng ki Tong; Secretary, Sebillot; Assistant-Secretaries, Blemont, Rosières, Andrews, Krohn. After some formal work, the Society were shown by Dr. Hamy, the curator, the excellent French Ethnological and Anthropological Museum, containing much of interest in our studies.
The subsequent meetings were at the Mairie of the Sixth Arrondissement, near St. Sulpice. There was considerable discussion on the origin and diffusion of legends, mythological and popular.
Notwithstanding the arguments of MM. Ploix and Cesquin, the general sense of the speakers appeared to favour anthropological and polygenetic explanations.
M. Krohn described the extensive work done in Finland, presenting a collection of printed volumes on the subject. Considerable progress appears to have been made there in the analysis of Folklore.
The questions of classification, tabulation, and analysis were referred to a committee. There was hardly enough time to consider it thoroughly; many members had no definite views. The scheme of this Society was pressed by Mr. J. B. Andrews with apparent ​approval by the most part. Another system of analysis was suggested by M. Ploix, having exceedingly minute divisions and subdivisions. M. Cordier was to make a report. It was strongly urged that the English proposal should be at least described, if not actually recommended.
It was proposed with general approbation that Congresses should be regularly held every two or three years, the next in London.
The members of the Congress were hospitably entertained, both officially and privately. Prince Roland Bonaparte gave them a sumptuous dinner, while they listened to the wild music of the Roumanian gypsies. There were official receptions at the Ministries, a most interesting international Folklore concert at the Salle de Sociétés Savantes, Quartier Latin, under the scholarly direction of M. Jules Tiersot, of the Conservatoire, and a Mother Goose’s dinner at the historic Café Corazza, in the Palais Royal, where the excellence of the menu was surpassed by the good humour and enjoyment of the guests. Many a song was sung; not the least amongst those applauded was M. Leland’s gypsy ballad with the finger chorus, in which all joined.
In fact, the Congress passed off remarkably well. All departed with, a confirmed sense of the importance of their work, with a vigorous impulse to continue working, and a desire to meet again.
# The Folk-Lore Journal/Volume 7/Batcombe Cross

BATCOMBE CROSS.
N Batcombe Down, Dorset, is a stone about three feet high, evidently part of a cross, and called Cross Hand Stone. Why should a cross be set up, away there on the down? Well, this "be tïale a twold o't." Back in the middle ages, one dark, wild winter night, Batcombe priest was sent for to take the viaticum to a dying man, two or three miles off. ​Taking pyx and service-book, he sallied out with a brave heart on his dark, lonely way over Batcombe Down, and safely reached the sick man’s house. But on getting in, and producing what was needed for his ministration—where was the pyx? It was lost. He had dropped it on the way, and its fall on the turf of Batcombe Down—in the howling wind, too!—had not been heard. Back he toiled into the darkness and the storm on his almost hopeless quest. Hopeless? The easiest search ever made. Up on Batcombe Down there was a pillar of fire, reaching from heaven to earth, and steadily shining in the storm. What could this be? He struggled on faster and faster, with strange, half-formed hopes. He came near to the spot over which stood the calm beam in the gale. He saw numbers of cattle of various kinds gathered in a circle—kneeling—kneeling round the pyx.
Well, this seems to me to be the medieval legend, rendering a reason for Batcombe Cross being set up there, away on the down, where, though time-worn, it yet remains. But (me judice) in the last century a rider was added, as follows:—
The priest was much astounded at what he saw, but not so much so but that he observed among the live-stock a black horse, kneeling, indeed, like the rest, but only on one knee. The priest said to this lukewarm beast, "Why don't you kneel on both knees, like the rest?" "Wouldn't kneel at all if I could help it." "Who, then, are you?" "The devil." "Why do you take the form of a horse?" "So that men may steal me, and get hung, and I get hold of them. Got three or four already."
I am indebted to the Rev. C. R. Baskett for this legend. He also tells me of a pinnacle belonging, indeed, to Batcombe Church tower, but which can by no means be made to stand in its place thereon "since conjuror Mintern's horse kicked it off." Two vain attempts to erect the pinnacle have been made of late years.
H. J. Moule.
# Be It My Only Wisdom Here

1. Be it my only wisdom here,
To serve the Lord with filial fear,
With loving gratitude;
Superior sense may I display,
By shunning every evil way,
And walking in the good.
2. O may I still from sin depart!
A wise and understanding heart,
Jesus, to me be given;
And let me throuhg thy Spirit know,
To glorify my God below,
And find my way to heaven.
# Be Kind When You Can

Be kind when you can, though the kindness be little, 'Tis small letters make up philosophers' scrolls; The crystal of Happiness, vivid and brittle, Can seldom be cut into very large bowls.
'Tis atoms that dwell in the measureless mountain, 'Tis moments that sum up the century's flight; 'Tis but drops that unite in Niagara's fountain, 'Tis rays, single rays, from the harvest-sun light.
Stone by stone builds the temple that rises in glory, Inch by inch grows the child till maturity's prime; The jewels so famous in bright, Eastern story Have been nursed, tint by tint, in the blossom of Time.
'Tis grains make the desert-sheet, trackless and spreading; 'Tis but petals that deck every blossom-twinned spray; There are leaves - only leaves - where the forest is shedding Its gloom till the density shuts out the day.
A word or a glance which we give "without thinking", May shadow or lighten some sensitive breast; And the draught from the well-spring is wine in the drinking, If quaffed from the brim that Affection has blest.
Then be kind when you can in the smallest of duties, Don't wait for the larger expressions of Love; For the heart depends less for its joys and its beauties On the flight of the Eagle than coo of the Dove.

# Be Brave

Originally appearing in Free Society, November 26, 1899.
Arouse, ye men of brain and brawn,  Unnumbered hosts that toil; Assert your manhood, break your chains:  Reclaim your own fair soil! Too long beneath oppression's lash  Ye've slaved for robber knaves; And gave your all to Church and State,  Contented to be slaves. The day had come, your night is done,  If you but act as men. Be bold, be brave - the world is yours,  March on and take it, then!  But no, you hesitate - and why?  Oh slaves! Why fear to die? On! Do and dare! Be brave! Be free!
A day is come, a light hath dawned,  A tide in man's affairs; A star like that of Bethlehem,  And a glorious hope it bears: Let man be FREE! The message rings,  And an echo answers back: Uncrown all kings, unrobe all priests,  And clothe the unclothed back! Then stand up, men, and demand your dues,  And fear not the tyrants' frown, And do not bow at the shrine of his law,  Or reverence his legal gown.  But strike - if you would be free,  Oh slaves - if you would be free! On! Do and dare! Be brave! Be FREE!

He was appointed chief rabbi of Luxemburg in 1843, and in 1866 was called to Philadelphia as rabbi of the Congregation Kenesseth Israel. He was a very active promoter of radical reform among American Jews, and took a chief part in rabbinical conferences. He was an industrious contributor to the early volumes of the “Jewish Times” (1869-'78), but published nothing in book-form after he came to the United States. His principal works were issued in Germany, among them his “What is Judaism?” (1838); a collection of sermons (1841); and “Religious Philosophy of the Jews” (1843).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Hjorn, Oscar

This is a fictitious person. There is an anachronism regarding the subject's return to Paris, and also a glaring factual error in that South America is referred to as a country. The title of the alleged literary work from 1789 has also been copied from a legitimate title written in 1844, i.e. 52 years after the subject's date of death, and there is a marked incompatibility in that the subject was supposedly Swedish, but the titles of the alleged literary works are written in French.
​HJORN, Oscar (yorn), Swedish naturalist, b. in Bagnildstorp, Sweden, in 1741; d. in Paris in 1792. He was a preceptor in the family of the Duke of Mirepois, and, owing to the protection of that nobleman, obtained from Louis XVI. in 1776 a mission to South America to study the flora of that country. He explored for ten years the vast regions included between the river Amazon and the river Plate amid dangers of all kinds, suffering great hardships and sometimes persecution from the Spanish and Portuguese authorities. Although he was kept a prisoner during 1780-'2 by the Guarani Indians, he formed an herbarium of 1,100 specimens, and, returning to Paris in 1776, published “Les légumineuses arborescentes de l'Amérique du Sud,” a work which caused a sensation in scientific circles as the first of that kind ever published in Europe (Paris, 1787); a “Dictionnaire raisonné de l'histoire naturelle de l'Amérique du Sud” (1789); “Choix de mémoires présentés à l'Académie des sciences sur divers objets de l'histoire naturelle” (Paris, 1791); and “Dix ans dans l'Amérique du Sud” (3 vols., 1790).

In 1858 he succeeded Judge Gholson on the bench of the new superior court. His friend and partner, Gov. Salmon P. Chase, offered him a seat upon the supreme court bench, which he declined, as he did also in 1862 a similar offer made by Gov. Todd. In 1866 he resigned his place on the superior court, and established the law-firm of which he was the head. He was an active member of the Constitutional convention of 1873-'74, and in October, 1883, was elected governor of Ohio, defeating Joseph B. Foraker, by whom he was in turn defeated in 1885. During the civil war he became a Republican, but in 1876 his opposition to the protective tariff led him to affiliate again with the Democratic party. He was one of the counsel that successfully opposed the project of a compulsory reading of the Bible in the public schools, and was the leading counsel for the assignee and creditors in the case of Archbishop Purcell. He was a professor in the Cincinnati law-school in 1864-'67, and was for many years a trustee of the university. In March, 1887, he removed to New York city and became head of a law firm.

Soon after the completion of his studies he came to the United States and settled in Iowa City, Iowa. In 1863 he was made professor of physical sciences in the Iowa state university, and professor of chemistry and toxicology in the medical department, and in 1868 he became chemist to the geological survey of the state. The Iowa weather service was organized by Prof. Hinrichs in 1875, and was the first state weather service in the United States. These college appointments he held until 1885, when by a combination of religious and political influences he was driven from his chairs. He received the degree of M. D. from the Missouri medical college in 1872, and is a member of scientific societies both in the United States and Europe. Prof. Hinrichs has contributed a large number of papers in various branches of physics which have appeared in the scientific journals. During 1870 he edited “The American Scientific Monthly,” and he has published in book-form “The Elements of Physics” (Davenport, 1870); “The Principles of Pure Crystallography” (1871); “The Elements of Chemistry and Mineralogy demonstrated by the Student's own Experiments” (1871); “The Principles of Chemistry and Molecular Mechanics” (1874); and “First Course in Qualitative Analysis” (1874).
