IGBA SION. From 1283 to 1312.
Quick Succession of Princes—Memoirs of these Reigns deficient.
TO Icon Amlac succeeded Igba Sion, and after him five other princes, his brothers, Bahar Segued, Tzenaf Segued, Jan Segued, Haseb Araad, and Kedem Segued, all in five years. So quick a succession in so few years seems to mark very unsettled times. Whether it was a civil war among themselves that brought these reigns to so speedy a conclusion, or whether it was that the Moorish states in Adel had grown in power, and fought successfully against them, we do not know. One thing only we are certain of, that no molestation was offered by the late royal family of Lasta, who continued in peace, and firm in the observation of their treaty, I therefore am inclined to think, that a civil war among the brothers was the occasion of the quick succession of so many princes; and that in the time when the kingdom was weakened by this calamity, the states of Adel, grown rich and powerful, had improved the occasion, and seized upon all that territory from Azab to Melinda, and cut off the Abyssinians entirely from the sea-coast, and from an opportunity of trading directly with India from the ports situated upon the ocean. And my reason is, that, in a reign which speedily follows, we find the kingdom of ​Adel increased greatly in power, and Moorish princes from Arabia established in little principalities, exactly corresponding with the southern limits of Abyssinia, and placed between them and the ocean; and we see, at the same time, a rancour and hatred firmly rooted in the breasts of both nations, one of the causes of which is constantly alledged by the Abyssinian princes to be, that the Moors of Adel were anciently their subjects and vassals, had withdrawn themselves from their allegiance, and owed their present independence to rebellion only.
To these princes succeeded Wedem Araad, their youngest brother, who reigned fifteen years, probably in peace, for in this state we find the kingdom in the days of his successor; but then it is such a peace that we see it only wanted any sort of provocation from one party to the other, for both to break out into very cruel, long, and bloody wars.
# United States National Bank of New York v. First National Bank of Little Rock (66 F. 518)/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Decision per curiam
* Linked cases: 64 F. 985 79 F. 296 174 U.S. 125
PER CURIAM.
A motion for a rehearing has been filed in this case. In support of the motion it is urged that the defendants in error asked an instruction in the nature of a demurrer to the testimony, which raised the question of the adequacy of the proof offered to fix the liability of the defendant bank as an indorser, and that this court in its decision overlooked the fact that such an instruction had been asked, and therefore erred in holding that the defendant bank waived or abandoned the defense of a want of proper demand and notice. It is only necessary to say that counsel are themselves mistaken in supposing that the record lodged in this court shows that such an instruction was asked. The record shows that at the conclusion of all of the evidence the plaintiff in error asked 10 instructions, all of which were refused, and that "the court, of its own motion," gave the instruction which is quoted in full in the opinion. 64 F. 985. It nowhere appears in the record that the defendant bank asked any instructions, or that it attempted, by instructions or otherwise, to avail itself of the defense that a proper demand was not made upon the makers of the several notes in suit to fix its liability as an indorser. That is a defense we think, that was neither considered nor determined by the trial court. We must adhere, therefore, to the conclusion announced in the opinion that the supposed defect in the proceedings taken to fix the liability of the defendant bank as an indorser is, upon the record now before us, insufficient to support the judgment.
The other points urged in support of the motion for a rehearing was sufficiently considered in the opinion now on file, and we find nothing in the argument of counsel that is adequate to alter the views heretofore expressed.

# Uncle Jim’s Baptist Revival Hymn

Sidney Lanier composed this “hymn” in 1876 with his brother Clifford Lanier. This is one of his Dialect Poems, written in various dialects of the rural 19th-century South.
    Not long ago a certain Georgia cotton-planter, driven to desperation by awaking each morning to find that the grass had quite outgrown the cotton overnight, and was likely to choke it, in defiance of his lazy freedmen’s hoes and ploughs, set the whole State in a laugh by exclaiming to a group of fellow-sufferers: “It’s all stuff about Cincinnatus leaving the plough to go into politics for patriotism; he was just a-runnin’ from grass!”
    This state of things—when the delicate young rootlets of the cotton are struggling against the hardier multitudes of the grass-suckers—is universally described in plantation parlance by the phrase “in the grass”; and Uncle Jim appears to have found in it so much similarity to the condition of his own (“Baptis’”) church, overrun, as it was, by the cares of this world, that he has embodied it in the refrain of a revival hymn such as the colored improvisator of the South not infrequently constructs from his daily surroundings. He has drawn all the ideas of his stanzas from the early morning phenomena of those critical weeks when the loud plantation-horn is blown before daylight, in order to rouse all hands for a long day’s fight against the common enemy of cotton-planting mankind.
    In addition to these exegetical commentaries, the Northern reader probably needs to be informed that the phrase “peerten up” means substantially ‘to spur up’, and is an active form of the adjective “peert” (probably a corruption of ‘pert’), which is so common in the South, and which has much the signification of “smart” in New England, as e.g., a “peert” horse, in antithesis to a “sorry”—i.e., poor, mean, lazy one.
Solo.—  Sin’s rooster’s crowed, Ole Mahster’s riz,  De sleepin’-time is pas’;  Wake up dem lazy Baptissis, Chorus.—  Dey’s mightily in de grass, grass,  Dey’s mightily in de grass.
Ole Mahster’s blowed de mornin’ horn,  He’s blowed a powerful blas’; O Baptis’ come, come hoe de corn,  You’s mightily in de grass, grass,  You’s mightily in de grass.
De Meth’dis team’s done hitched; O fool,  De day’s a-breakin’ fas’; Gear up dat lean ole Baptis’ mule,  Dey’s mightily in de grass, grass,  Dey’s mightily in de grass.
De workmen’s few an’ mons’rous slow,  De cotton’s sheddin’ fas’; Whoop, look, jes’ look at de Baptis’ row,  Hit’s mightily in de grass, grass,  Hit’s mightily in de grass.
De jay-bird squeal to de mockin’-bird: “Stop!  Don’ gimme none o’ yo’ sass; Better sing one song for de Baptis’ crop,  Dey’s mightily in de grass, grass,  Dey’s mightily in de grass.”
And de ole crow croak: “Don’ work, no, no;”  But de fiel’-lark say, “Yaas, yaas, An’ I spec’ you mighty glad, you debblish crow,  Dat de Baptissis’s in de grass, grass,  Dat de Baptissis’s in de grass!”
Lord, thunder us up to de plowin’-match,  Lord, peerten de hoein’ fas’, Yea, Lord, hab mussy on de Baptis’ patch,  Dey’s mightily in de grass, grass,  Dey’s mightily in de grass.

### V. A Confession

“W’at’s dis yer I see, great big niggers gwine ’lopin’ ’roun’ town wid cakes ’n pies fer ter sell?” asked Uncle Remus recently, in his most scornful tone.
“That’s what they are doing,” responded a young man; “that’s the way they make a living.”
“Dat w’at make I say w’at I duz—dat w’at keep me grum’lin’ w’en I goes in cullud fokes s’ciety. Some niggers ain’t gwine ter wuk nohow, an’ hit’s flingin’ way time fer ter set enny chain-gang traps fer ter ketch um.”
“Well, now, here!” exclaimed the young man, in a dramatic tone, “what are you giving us now? Isn’t it just as honest and just as regular to sell pies as it is to do any other kind of work?”
“’Tain’t dat, boss,’ said the old man, seeing that he was about to be cornered; ’tain’t dat. Hit’s de nas’ness un it w’at gits me.”
“Oh, get out!”
“Dat’s me, boss, up an’ down. Ef dere’s ruinashun ennywhar in de known wurril, she goes in de comp’ny uv a hongry nigger w’at’s a totin’ pies ’roun.’ Sometimes w’en I git kotch wid emptiness in de pit er de stummuck, an’ git ter fairly honin’ arter sumpin’ w’at got substance in it, den hit look like unto me dat I kin stan’ flat-footed an’ make more cle’r money eatin’ pies dan I could if I wuz ter sell de las’ one ’twixt dis an’ Chris’mus. An’ de nigger w’at k’n trapes ’round wid pies and not git in no alley-way an’ sample um, den I’m bleedzd ter say dat nigger out-niggers me an’ my fambly. So dar now!”
# Uncle Bill

My Uncle Bill! My Uncle Bill! How doth my heart with anguish thrill! For he, our chief, our Robin Hood, Has gone to jail for stealing wood! With tears and sobs my voice I raise To celebrate my uncle's praise; With all my strength, with all my skill, I'll sing the song of Uncle Bill."
Convivial to the last degree, An open-hearted sportsman he. Did midnight howls our slumbers rob, We said, "It's uncle 'on the job'." When sounds of fight rang sharply out, Then Bill was bound to be about, The foremost figure in "the scrap", A terror to the local "trap". To drink, or fight, or maim, or kill, Came all alike to Uncle Bill. And when he faced the music's squeak At Central Court before the beak, How carefully we sought our fob To pay his fine of forty bob! Recall the happy days of yore When Uncle Bill went forth to war! When all the street with strife was filled And both the traps got nearly killed. When the lone cabman on the stand was "stoushed" by Bill's unaided hand, And William mounted, filled with rum, And drove the cab to kingdom come. Remember, too, that famous fray When the "Black-reds", who hold their sway O'er Surry Hills and Shepherd's Bush, Descended on the "Liver Push". Who cheered both parties long and loud? Who heaved blue metal at the crowd! And sooled his bulldog, Fighting Bet, To bite, haphazard, all she met? And when the mob were lodged in gaol Who telegraphed to me for bail? And — here I think he showed his sense — Who calmly turned Queen's evidence?"
Enough! I now must end my song, My needless anguish, why prolong? From what I've said, you'll own, I'm sure, That Uncle Bill was pretty "pure", So, rowdies all, your glasses fill, And — drink it standing — "Uncle Bill"."

“Yer come Uncle Remus,” said a well-dressed negro, who was standing on the sidewalk near James’s bank recently, talking to a crowd of barbers. “Yer come Uncle Remus. I boun’ he’ll sign it.”
“You’ll fling yo’ money away ef you bet on it,” responded Uncle Remus. “I ain’t turnin’ nothin’ loose on chu’ch ’scriptions. I wants money right now fer ter git a pint er meal.”
“’Tain’t dat.”
