The following (reproduced from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China’s website) is the text of the the joint communiqué of the Government of the People’s Republic of China and the Government of the Dominican Republic which was made in May 2018
The People's Republic of China and the Dominican Republic, in keeping with the interests and desire of the two peoples, have decided to recognize each other and establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level effective from the date of signature of this communiqué.
The two Governments agree to develop friendly relations between the two countries on the basis of the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence.
The Government of the Dominican Republic recognizes that there is but one China in the world, that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. Hence the Government of the Dominican Republic severs "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan as of this day. The Government of the People's Republic of China appreciates this position of the Government of the Dominican Republic.
The Government of the People's Republic of China and the Government of the Dominican Republic have agreed to exchange Ambassadors as soon as practicable and to provide each other with all the necessary assistance for the establishment and performance of the functions of diplomatic missions in their respective capitals in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and international practice as well as on a reciprocal basis.
The undersigned, being duly authorized by their respective Governments, have signed this communiqué. Done in duplicate in Beijing on May 1st in the Chinese and Spanish languages, both texts being equally authentic.

Mr. Justice BRENNAN, concurring.
I join the Court's opinion upon my understanding that the only question we decide is that a witness who is granted immunity by a State against state prosecution may be compelled to testify in a state proceeding and cannot successfully assert the privilege against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment.
I therefore do not believe that reconsideration of the holding in Feldman v. United States, 322 U.S. 487, 64 S.Ct. 1082, 88 L.Ed. 1408, is necessary or appropriate in this case. In view of the contrary suggestion in the dissent of Mr. Justice BLACK, I think it proper however to note that in joining the Court's opinion, I should not be understood as believing that our decision today forecloses reconsideration of the Feldman holding in a case requiring our decision of that question.
Mr. Chief Justice WARREN, dissenting.

Klein v. New Orleans
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Louisiana.
John Klein, having recovered a judgment for $89,000 against the city of New Orleans in the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Louisiana, caused an execution to issue thereon. The marshal thereupon seized certain real estate belonging to the city, consisting of 'two squares of ground which had formerly constituted the easterly bank of the Mississippi River, but which, by the gradual accretion of said easterly bank, had ceased to constitute the bank of the river, but which were now used by the public for wharf and levee purposes, said squares forming a portion of the land known as the 'Batture property," together with certain annual ground rents therefrom arising and belonging to the city.
On motion of the city, a rule on the plaintiff to show cause why the seizure should not be dissolved and set aside was issued.
At the hearing, the court being of 'opinion the said squares were public property which the city could not alienate without the permission of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana, and that the said ground rents formed a portion of the public revenues of the said city,' and were, therefore, not subject to Klein's execution, made the rule to dissolve the seizure absolute, and ordered the marshal to release the property.
Klein thereupon brought the case here

# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/On Happiness

ON HAPPINESS.
WE are all engaged in the pursuit of happiness. There are many different means by which it is pursued, but all search for the same object; and among those means there are none more respectable and effectual than constant and useful employment. While the hands are ​industriously employed, or the mind directed to the acquisition of knowledge, time passes pleasantly, and we enjoy the consciousness of not having lived in vain. Habitual, well-directed activity will shut out the intrusion of melancholy, and close many of the avenues by which vice in the hour of idleness may enter. Indolence enfeebles both the body and the mind; unfits them for exertion, and deprives us of many rational pleasures. We are not formed for it; and when we permit its influence, the whole animate and inanimate creation appears to address us with the voice of reproof. All nature is active around us. Day and night succeed each other; seasons change; the globe on which we exist continually revolves. One generation passes away, and on its ruins another arises; this also is swept away and forgotten "time waiteth for no man." In this world of changes, in this scene of activity, shall we be as idle spectators? Let us look within ourselves, and observe the powers of our own minds; active, intuitive, capable of progressive improvement. Were these powers entrusted to us for no valuable purpose; were these given to be buried in the earth? No! they are a part of the works of Him, who has made nothing in vain. To each of us a part is given to perform; and since we have now a season for improvement, let us, as an incitement to activity, remember that our life is short. "What thine ​hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no wisdom, knowledge or device, in the grave whither thou goest."
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/On Hearing a Tolling Bell

ON HEARING A TOLLING BELL.
CAST out and banish'd from thy sight,
 I cannot live without thy love,
I cannot dwell without thy light,
 In earth below, or heaven above.
Cast me not off: my strength is small;
 What can I in the day of death?
Forsake me not, or else I fall,
 My life is but an airy breath.
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/On Gratitude

ON GRATITUDE.
GRATITUDE is the emotion of a noble and susceptible heart excited by acts of benevolence, and directed towards a benefactor. It is a gentle affection, softening and harmonizing the mind: it is also an active principle prompting to the exercise of the social virtues, and leading to a mutual interchange of good offices. We may learn to estimate it more correctly, by considering the enormity of the vice of ingratitude. We ​feel a strong mixture of indignation and abhorrence towards a man who has traduced his benefactor; a friend who has injured a friend; or a child who has forsaken a parent. It is an ancient maxim that "if you have called a man ungrateful, you have said the worst, you cannot add to his baseness." In all ages of the world, and even among savage nations, ingratitude has been stamped with abhorrence.
Let us turn from the idea: let us contemplate the excellence and propriety of a grateful disposition, and endeavour to cherish it with assiduity. As the first among our earthly benefactors we must each of us recognize our parents. They have sustained us with kindness in infancy, in childhood, and in youth; they have supplied us with the means of education; they have rejoiced in our joys; in "our afflictions they have been afflicted." Ardent affection should mingle with the remembrance of these favours; and our gratitude should prompt us to study, their wishes, and to advance their happiness by becoming diligent, useful, and amiable.
Let us, also, recollect all who have been in any degree our friends or benefactors. To think of these without affection is ingratitude; to feel gratitude, and not testify it, is forgetfulness, a forgetfulness approaching to neglect. While we ​thus look around us in search of these benefactors, to whom we owe the homage of a grateful heart, can we forget Him who is the author of all our mercies; our guide in perplexity; our friend in misfortune; our defence in danger? We cannot lift up our eyes without beholding monuments of his kindness, and of his love. Let us rejoice in his goodness, and offer up our thanks for his guardian care. And may not one of us ever deserve the reproof which was once addressed to an offender by a prophet of the Lord: "Him in whose hand is thy breath, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified."
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/On Modesty

ON MODESTY.
MODESTY, considered as proceeding from inward purity, and correct intentions, claims a high rank among the virtues. Viewed in its effects upon the manners and the deportment, it ranks equally among the graces. It is an essential part of the female character, and the essence of feminine attraction. "Without it, there may be regularity of features, but no beauty; symmetry of form, but no grace; brilliancy of wit, but the heart will refuse its approbation. A pleasing exterior, and elegant accomplishments will fail to delight, if they are seen united with an unblushing front, and a forward demeanor. These in the other sex are displeasing; in ours, insupportable.
But that modesty, which it is desirable to possess, differs extremely from bashfulness, and from false delicacy. One is the excess of diffidence, and may exist without modesty; the other is the counterfeit of modesty, always liable to suspicion, easily detected, and assumed to conceal radical defects. Real modesty is the offspring of merit and of humility. It is frequently united ​with great abilities, and great acquirements, but it seeks not to display its excellencies; does not court the notice of others. It is "not obvious, not intrusive," as one fine writer has expressed himself; and another has called it "the sanctity of manners." That these concise and beautiful delineations of modesty may apply to each of you, united with every amiable virtue, and laudable feminine attraction, is the sincere wish of your friend.
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/On Seeing the Moon Attended by a Solitary Star, just Before Sun-Rise

ON SEEING THE MOON ATTENDED BY A SOLITARY STAR, JUST BEFORE SUN-RISE.
LEAVING the cell of her companion, night,
She sought her bow'r which vestal lamps adorn,
But paus'd, and stay'd, and linger'd in her flight,
To change stol'n glances with the youthful morn.
All unattended too, she chose to tread,
Save that one solitary star was seen,
Darkly to wrap a mantle o'er its head,
And page the mystic footsteps of the queen.
Her veil was all undrawn, her eye was fair,
But ah! her cheek grew pale, her lustre dim;
For dark-rob'd night, high-seated on his car,
Was heard to call the wanderer on with him.
Sternly he staid his chariot 'till she came,
His cold eye glancing on her, unapprov'd,
The star attendant glow'd with angry shame,
And rising morn beheld her as she mov'd.
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/On Hearing a Bell Toll before Rising

ON HEARING A BELL TOLL BEFORE RISING.
SAD sounding bell! to me thou seem'st to say,
Awake, thou sleeper, rise, and come away;
For while thou slumberest on thy couch of rest,
The hand of death within thy sphere has prest;
And one, whose piercing glance thou us'd to meet,
Whose step was active, and whose voice was sweet,
Has tasted pain, has deeply drank of woe,
Has struggled strongly with the frowning foe,
Has passed the portal arch, whose massy door,
Once turning on its hinge, shall turn no more;
Has trod the darkly silent vale, and gone
A trembling stranger, to a world unknown.
Nought that she lov'd on earth could bribe her stay,
No friend could go to cheer her on her way;
No wealth, to purchase welcome could she bear,
Nor even her worth, could buy a ransom there;
No pompous titles sounded as she came,
No earthly honours swell'd the blast of fame:
What then, alas! has the lone stranger brought?
Nought but the spotless robe, by her Redeemer wrought.
# Moral Pieces, in Prose and Verse/On Visiting the Deserted Garden of Friends in the Country

ON VISITING THE DESERTED GARDEN OF FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY.
THE morning smiles on these deserted walls,
But no bright lustre cheers the lonely halls,
Strong bolts and bars exclude th' accustom'd guest,
By friendship lur'd, by constant kindness blest,
Who came with gladness, pleas'd, prolonged his stay,
Reluctant rose, and grateful went his way.
Fair o'er those winding paths the sun-beam plays,
But no light footstep o'er their verdure strays,
Still the strong pillars hold the mounting vines,
Round the white arch the clasping tendril twines,
The garden smiles, the roses breathe perfume,* The myrtle blows, but who shall watch their bloom?
The purple plumbs, the untrodden alley strew,
The peach lies blushing in the nightly dew,
The fallen apple, in its rind of gold,
Shines, softens, and returns to kindred mould,
Save what the roving boys, in truant hour,
Snatch with rash hand, with eager haste devour,
And gazing sadly on the loaded tree,
Grieve that such sweets should e'er untasted be.
Clos'd are those blinds thro' which I us'd to trace
The smiling features of * * * * * *'s face,
And when no more I hear her accents say,
"Come in, my friend, O yet, a moment stay,"
No sound is heard amid the silent view,
Save the lone kitten's long, despairing mew,
My lay responsive joins the dismal strain,
As sad and slow, I wander back again.
Yet though your loss, dear friends, I daily mourn, And selfish sorrow sometimes says, "return,"
Still the rash word mature reflection blames,
And back the quick, unfinish'd sentence claims;
No! stay, and view those scenes with beauty fraught,
Joy in the charms your tasteful care has wrought,
Rest in the shades of innocence and ease,
Catch the pure spirit of the mountain breeze,
And taste those rapturous hours, not often known,
Which nature sheds on virtue's friends alone.
But when drear Autumn's stern and nipping air
Shall strip the heights of Montevideo bare,
And when brown and shapeless foliage flies,
Smit by the fury of the rending skies,
Before the hoary frost, and snowy flake,
Shall bind the billow of the gentle lake,
Oh, haste, the joys of other climes to prove,
Haste, to the genial warmth of social love;
Draw the strong bolts, that bar the entrance free,
To the fair dome of hospitality,
Cheer with reviving smiles a pensive train,
And make the eye of friendship bright again.
# Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume V/On Nature and Grace/Chapter 16

Chapter 16 [XV.]—Pelagius Corrupts a Passage of the Apostle James by Adding a Note of Interrogation.
Now that passage, in which the Apostle James says: “But the tongue can no man tame,” does not appear to me to be capable of the interpretation which he would put upon it, when he expounds it, “as if it were written by way of reproach; as much as to say: Can no man then, tame the tongue? As if in a reproachful tone, which would say: You are able to tame wild beasts; cannot you tame the tongue? As if it were an easier thing to tame the tongue than to subjugate wild beasts.” I do not think that this is the meaning of the passage. For, if he had meant such an opinion as this to be entertained of the facility of taming the tongue, there would have followed in the sequel of the passage a comparison of that member with the beasts. As it is, however, it simply goes on to say: “The tongue is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison,”—such, of course, as is more noxious than that of beasts and creeping things. For while the one destroys the flesh, the other kills the soul. For, “The mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.” It is not, therefore, as if this is an easier achievement than the taming of beasts that St. James pronounced the statement before us, or would have others utter it; but he rather aims at showing what a great evil in man his tongue is—so great, indeed, that it cannot be tamed by any man, although even beasts are tameable by human beings. And he said this, not with a view to our permitting, through our neglect, the continuance of so great an evil to ourselves, but in order that we might be induced to request the help of divine grace for the taming of the tongue. For he does not say: “None can tame the tongue;” but “No man;” in order that, when it is tamed, we may acknowledge it to be effected by the mercy of God, the help of God, the grace of God. The soul, therefore, should endeavour to tame the tongue, and while endeavouring should pray for assistance; the tongue, too, should beg for the taming of the tongue,—He being the tamer who said to His disciples: “It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.” Thus, we are warned by the precept to do this,—namely, to make the attempt, and, failing in our own strength, to pray for the help of God.
