# Women of distinction/Chapter 70

CHAPTER LXX.
MISS META E. PELHAM.
This young lady, though born in Virginia, went with her parents to Detroit and was there educated in the city schools, from which she graduated at the head of her class of more than fifty pupils, there being only four of Afro-American birth. This is certainly one instance in which co-education of the races was treated with fairness (at least in this respect), as is always a very noted feature of the management of the schools in Detroit. She then entered Fenton College, in Michigan also, and took a normal course. As her health was not robust she did not teach school very long, but entered upon a most encouraging and successful career in connection with the Plain Dealer, which marked the beginning of her newspaper work. Mr. Penn, in "Afro-American Press," says of her:
She is a woman of most excellent traits of character and has a prolific and productive brain. Miss Pelham is not so well known as many lady writers of less ability, because, in her entire writings, she has used no nom de plume or signature.
The Plain Dealer of May, 1888, speaks of her in the following very complimentary terms:
Since the inception of the Plain Dealer the influence of woman has sustained it in adversity; the product of her mind has given lustre to its columns, and now, more than ever, much of its success, in the character of its productions, is due to her. To Miss Meta Pelham is due the credit of this aid, who has always taken an active interest in

CHAPTER LXVI.
MRS. E. HUGHES BROWN.
The last quarter of a century has brought many changes in the condition of the American people. Indeed, it has been an epoch of great strides by the majority of the population, of all nationalities that have ​representatives among us. But in no case has the onward march of progress been more generally marked than that of the Afro-American people.
Young men and women have sprung up and taken the lead in the affairs of this people as teachers and benefactors, whose influence and works can scarcely be estimated. Among our strong, resolute young women is Mrs. L. Hughes Brown, who was born of poor parents in the town of Mebanesville, N. C. She had but little opportunity for schooling, her mother having been taken from her by death while she was yet quite young, and leaving seven children to be cared for by this young woman.
The responsibility, though a great one, was well met, while at the same time she pursued her studies at home as best she could under the circumstances, and so advanced as to become able to teach school at a very early age.
In 1881 she entered Scotia Seminary at Concord, N. C., from which she graduated in 1885; after this devoting four years to teaching, a part of which time she taught in her Alma Mater.
In 1889 she was married to Rev. David Brown, a graduate of Biddle University at Charlotte, N. C.
In 1890 she matriculated in the Woman's Medical College of Philadelphia., where she still pursues her studies.
Her progress, as can be seen at a glance, has been steadily forward. She is one of our coming female physicians from whom we are to expect great things in the future.

CHAPTER LXVII.
VERINA H. MORTON, M. D.
This young physician, to say the least, has many good reasons to be proud of her accomplishments and hopeful for a bright future. It is quite probable yet that she, with her many professional sisters, will hush in silence the often and repeated statement that the practice of medicine "tends to destroy the womanly qualities" of females who enter the profession as regular practicing physicians. The statement is certainly without foundation when applied to all female physicians. There may be exceptions in the cases of both sexes. The exceptions on either side are rare in proportion as prejudice recedes and justice comes to the front.
The Brooklyn Times, June 27, 1891, had the following to say of our subject:
Brooklyn's youngest colored physician, Dr. Verina H. Morton, of Gold street, graduated in 1888 from the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, the best medical college for women in the country. She belongs to the regular school and has been practicing medicine, until recently, under her maiden name of Harris, in Mississippi, where she was resident physician of Rust University at Holly Springs, and also gave talks on health topics to the industrial school connected with the university. She was the first woman physician of either color to register in that State.
She was married last August to Dr. W. A. Morton, also a young colored physician, who has been in practice a little over a year, and came to Brooklyn and registered here this spring. She has made a good start already in this city, her very first patient being a German lady. She has been surprised at the number of calls she has received in the ​few weeks that have elapsed since she registered. Her husband also is doing well; they do not interfere with each other in the least. They are a handsome young couple, intelligent and refined looking.

Upon the water, in the boat, I sit and sketch as down I float: The stream is wide, the view is fair, I sketch it looking backward there.
The stream is strong, and as I sit And view the picture that we quit, It flows and flows, and bears the boat, And I sit sketching as we float.
Each pointed height, each wavy line, To new and other forms combine; Proportions vary, colours fade, And all the landscape is remade.
Depicted neither far nor near, And larger there and smaller here, And varying down from old to new, E’en I can hardly think it true.
Yet still I look, and still I sit, Adjusting, shaping, altering it; And still the current bears the boat And me, still sketching as I float.
Still as I sit, with something new The foreground intercepts my view; Even the distant mountain range From the first moment suffers change.

GO, foolish thoughts, and join the throng  Of myriads gone before; To flutter and flap and flit along  The airy limbo shore.
Go, words of sport and words of wit,  Sarcastic point and fine, And words of wisdom, wholly fit  With folly’s to combine.
Go, words of wisdom, words of sense,  Which, while the heart belied, The tongue still uttered for pretence,  The inner blank to hide.
Go, words of wit, so gay, so light,  That still were meant express To soothe the smart of fancied slight  By fancies of success.
Go, broodings vain o’er fancied wrong;  Go, love-dreams vainer still; And scorn that’s not, but would be, strong;  And Pride without a Will.
Go, foolish thoughts, and find your way  Where myriads went before, To languish out your lingering day  Upon the limbo shore.

# ‘Truth,’ Said a Traveller

"Truth," said a traveller, "Is a rock, a mighty fortress; Often have I been to it, Even to its highest tower, From whence the world looks black."
"Truth," said a traveller, "Is a breath, a wind, A shadow, a phantom; Long have I pursued it, But never have I touched The hem of its garment." And I believed the second traveller; For truth was to me A breath, a wind, A shadow, a phantom, And never had I touched The hem of its garment.

# Zanoni/Preface to the edition of 1853

PREFACE TO THE EDITION OF 1853.
As a work of imagination, Zanoni ranks, perhaps, amongst the highest of my prose fictions. In the Poem of King Arthur, published many years afterwards, I have taken up an analogous design, in the contemplation of our positive life through a spiritual medium: and I have enforced, through a far wider development, and, I believe, with more complete and enduring success, that harmony between the external events which are all that the superficial behold on the surface of human affairs, and the subtle and intellectual agencies which in reality influence the conduct of individuals, and shape out the destinies of the World. As Man has two lives — that of action and that of thought — so I conceive that work to be the truest representation of Humanity which faithfully delineates both, and opens some elevating glimpse into the sublimest mysteries of our being, by establishing the inevitable union that exists between the plain things of the day, in which our earthly bodies perform their allotted part, and the latent, often uncultivated, often invisible, affinities of the soul with all the powers that eternally breathe and move throughout the Universe of Spirit.
​I refer those who do me the honour to read Zanoni with more attention than is given to ordinary romance, to the Poem of King Arthur, for suggestive conjecture into most of the regions of speculative research, affecting the higher and more important condition of our ultimate being, which have engaged the students of immaterial philosophy in my own age.
Affixed to the "Note" with which this work concludes, and which treats of the distinctions between type and allegory, the reader will find, from the pen of one of our most eminent living writers, an ingenious attempt to explain the interior or typical meanings of the work now before him.

MALACOCIRCUS Striatus. Striped Babbler.
MALACOCIRCUS striatus.
Striated Babbler.
Family Merulidæ. Sub-fam. Crateropodinæ. Sw. North. Zool. 2, p 156. Genus Malacocircus.
Generic Character.
Bill rasorial, i. e. short, high at the base, conspicuously arched from the front, where the feathers are divided; tip obsoletely notched. Tarsi thick, moderate; the scales entire. Wings and tail rounded.
Sub-genera. Megalurus. Pomatorhinus. Horsf. Malacocircus. Leptonyx. Sw.
Specific Character.
Entirely light brown: wings and tail darker, the quills marked by transverse dark lines: bill and feet yellow: margin of the quills changeable greyish white.
Gracula striata. Mus. Paris.
The Babblers, or long legged Thrushes, (forming the sub-family Crateropodinæ, Sw.) are almost exclusively confined to the warmer latitudes of the old world; extending to the north as far as Egypt, and to the south over the greatest part of Australia. Like all birds which belong to the natatorial type, the majority of the species live in the vicinity of water. Their voice, like that of Donacobius, Sw. is particularly discordant, and many of them appear to be gregarious. The present species we received from Ceylon, but without any notice of its habits: another specimen is in the Paris Museum, under the manuscript name of Gracula striata, from the circumstance of the scapular quills, and also the tail feathers, being marked with transverse lines of a darker brown, varying in intensity according to the rays of light.
We have not yet sufficiently worked out this intricate and little known group: the very existence of which was first announced in North. Zool. 2, p. 156. According to our present views, the genera yet characterized appear to be Crateropus, Malacocircus, Pellornium, and Timalia. To Crateropus, we at present refer the sub-genera Grallina, Vieil, Cinclosoma, H. & V. and Aipunemia, Sw.; while those of Malacocircus are probably Megalurus, H. Pomatorhinus, H. and Leptonyx, Sw. Under the genus Timalia, we place Psophodes and Dasyornis, H. & V.

LEVAILLANTS CUCKOW. Coccyzus Levaillanti
COCCYZUS Levaillantii.
Black and White-throated Cuckow.
Family Cuculidæ.
Generic Character.—Lesson. Man. 2. 120.
Specific Character.
Head crested, the feathers pointed; plumage above black glossed with green; band at the base of the quills, end of the tail, and under parts of the body, white; throat striped with black.
Variete du Coucou Edolio, Le Vail. Ois. d'Af. 4. pl. 209.
Unlike the true Cuckows, the birds of this genus rear and provide for their young in the ordinary manner. The species are numerous in the tropical latitudes of both hemispheres. Two are found in North America, which, in their external characters, approach so near to the genuine Cuckows, that they barely come within the definition of the present group.
It frequently happens that species, originally well described, become involved in obscurity by compilers. Le Vaillant, who first described this bird, supposed it a variety of his Coucou Edolio: but in this he was mistaken; the one being a Cuculus; the other a Coccyzus. We should have thought our species might be the Cuculus Afer. of Drs. Leach and Latham, had not the former stated his bird to be a variety of Le Vaillant's, and figured it as an example of the genus Cuculus. Dr. Latham (Gen. Hist. 3, 290) copies this description of C. Afer. (Zool. Mis. 1. p. 31), adds some further characters not seen in our bird, and, under the same name, describes what is evidently another species. Lastly, M. Vieillot, in his account of the genus Coccyzus (Orn. Ency. Meth. p. 1342), relying on the usual accuracy of Le Vaillant—and never, perhaps, having seen the bird—omits it altogether. To prevent this confusion extending further, and to detach the species from those dubious descriptions with which it has been mixed, we have thought it best to record it by the name of its first describer.
Our figure will render a detailed description unnecessary: the wings, although long, are rounded; the fifth quill being the longest. The total length is fifteen inches. Inhabits Senegal, and the Western Coast of Africa.

RHIPHEUS Dasycephalus. Sw.
RHIPHEUS dasycephalus.
Round-winged Emerald Butterfly
Specific Character.
Wings black, varied with numerous irregular lines of emerald green; posterior with the internal and anal angle, deep blood-red, shining with gold and spotted with black.
Papilio Rhipheus. Drury. Ins. 2, p. 40, pl. 23, 1. 2.
If the imagination was taxed to invent, or to concentrate into one figure all that was splendid, lovely, or rare in the insect world, Nature would far exceed the poor invention of man by the production of this incomparably splendid creature; its rarity also is so great, that but one specimen has ever been seen: this was brought from China, and in 1773, belonged to a Captain May, of Hammersmith: with whom it was seen by Drury, and drawn by Harris. It is not however, on this account only that we have been induced to copy this figure, but because its illustration will clear up one of the most intricate and perplexing questions, that has hitherto impeded the natural arrangement of the Linnæn Papiliones, and even of the whole order of Lepidoptera.
The error of Cramer, regarding Rhipheus has already been rectified. It will now be demonstrated that not only are the two insects distinct as species, but that they actually belong to different genera. Cramer's being a Urania of Fabricius and Latrielle, while Drury's is a Papilio of the same authors. This is proved by the figures; and confirmed by the following words of Drury, "The antennæ are black, and knobbed at their extremities," in other words, clavate; while the palpi, as expressed in the figure, are so small as not to project beyond the head, where they lie hid in the frontal hairs: this also being a typical distinction of the Latrellian Papiliones. The figures in Drury's work were all drawn and engraved by Moses Harris, well known as one of the most accurate artists that ever lived: as a remarkable proof of this, we find that he has not failed to delineate that peculiar nuration of the anterior wings, which belongs only to the types of Leilus. A closer affinity therefore between Papilio and Leilus cannot possibly be imagined: while its remarkably hairy front, points out its analogy, as an aberrant type in its own genus, to Chlorisses, among insects, and Dasycephala among birds. So true it is that the natural system "illuminates with a flood of light" every supposed anomaly, and reconciles facts apparently the most inexplicable.

LEILUS Brasiliensis. Sw.
LEILUS Braziliensis.
Brazilian Emerald Butterfly.
Sub-Generic Character.
Wings when at rest, horizontal, slightly expanded; posterior furnished with acute tails. Palpi short, porrect; the last joint nearly naked, projecting beyond the head, but shorter than the second joint. Tibiæ of the anterior feet, spined in the middle: claws very small. Antennæ filiform, thickened in the middle; the tips bending outwards, but not uncinate. Sw.
Specific Character.
Wings black, varied with lines and bands of golden green: posterior wings tailed, the green spots round the margin divided and insulated; the tails black, with a narrow white edge.
In Mus. Britt. Nost.
This species, hitherto confounded with that peculiar to Surinam, is found only in Brazil; but its precise geographic range, in that vast empire, has not been correctly ascertained. We had the pleasure of capturing several specimens in Lat. 8, 24, S. in the vicinity of Pernambuco, where great numbers appear during the early weeks of May, and again in June.
On refering to our journals, we find the following note. "Papilio Leilus.—Great numbers of this insect were flying during the whole of the morning, past Aqua Fria (Pernambuco), in a direction from north to south: not one deviated from this course, notwithstanding the flowers which were growing around: they flew against the wind, which blew rather strong, and near the ground, but mounted over every tree or other high object which lay in their course; yet their flight was so rapid, that I could not capture a single specimen. They went singly, and near fifty or sixty must have passed the spot opposite the window, before mid-day: they continued to pass for three or four days in this manner. 12th June, 1817." Now it is clear that these insects could not have come from so far north as Surinam, where only the other species is found; and they certainly do not migrate to the more southern latitude of Rio de Janeiro. As we have never seen this species in the London Cabinets, we have deposited a specimen in the British Museum, that our entomologists may become acquainted with the structure of the feet.

MITREOLA. 1. monodonta. 2. terebellum. 3. Mitra acuminata.
MITREOLA monodonta,
The Volute Mitres.
Family Volutidæ. Sub-family Mitranæ. Genus Mitreola. Sw.
Generic Character.
Shell fusiform, smooth; the middle plaits of the pillar largest apex of the spire generally papillary.
Specific Character.
Shell ovate, acute, smooth; spire slightly striated, the tip papillary; outer lip within, gibbous.
Mitra monodonta. Lam. Syst. 7, p. 324.
We feel much obliged to Mr. G. B. Sowerby for calling our attention to the remarkable construction of this Volute Mitre, of which we had not then seen a specimen. We view it as supplying that link of connection between the Volutinæ and the Mitranæ, the Volute and the Mitre shells, which we had long been in search of. Of the genus, however, we know as yet but of two species, represented on the plate somewhat larger than their natural size. We have also added a figure of our Mitra acuminata, to shew how beautifully Mitreola is represented by the fourth type of the genus Mitra, as now restricted, to which type (represented by M. Zebra), acuminata also belongs: both, as prototypes of the Strombidæ, have the outer lip gibbous near the top; but the plaits of the pillar are totally different, while the spire of one is acute, and of the other papillary. M. monodonta is a Grignon fossil: some specimens are so well preserved, that the colours may be traced in the appearance of zebra-like stripes: thus strongly corroborating our views on its true analogies.
MITRA terebellum.
Shell fusiform, turrited, smooth, base striated; channel sub-entire. Mitra terebellum. Lam. Sys. 7, 325. Ency. Meth. pl. 392, a, b, c, d?
Of this Grignon fossil, we have but one specimen: it agrees with Lamarck's description, but not with the figure he quotes; and it may possibly be a distinct species between his M. plicatella and terebellum. The plaits are like those of M. monodonta; but the tip of the spire is acute, and slightly plaited.
