ERRORto the Supreme Court of the State of Louisiana.
Morris Ranger recovered, May 1, 1874, against the city of New Orleans certain judgments. To enforce the collection of them, he instituted, June 21, 1879, this proceeding, in the name of the State on his relation in the Third District Court of the Parish of Orleans, for a peremptory mandamus to compel the mayor and administrators of the city to levy and collect a special tax sufficient in amount to satisfy the judgments.
The following statement of facts facts signed by the attorneys for the respective parties was filed:--
'1st, That the judgments which are made the basis of this mandamus proceeding were rendered for the amounts-principal, interest, and costs-and at the dates stated in the petition, and had for their basis bonds issued by the city of New Orleans in 1854, to the New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern Railroad Company, and New Orleans, Opelousas, and Great Western Railroad Company.
'2d, That writs of fieri facias were issued on said judgments, and after demand made upon the city were returned nulla bona, and that the city has no property liable to seizure and sale.
'3d, That said judgments have never been registered in accordance with the provisions of the act of 1870.
'It is further agreed that this statement of facts is made in lieu of the note of evidence taken at the trial, which has been mislaid.'
The remaining facts and the statute bearing upon the case are set forth in the opinion of the court.

United States Supreme Court
176 U.S. 1
Louisiana v. Texas
Argued: October 24, 1899. --- Decided: January 15, 1900
Mr. Justice Brown concurring in the result:
I am not prepared to say that if the state of Texas had placed an embargo upon the entire commerce between Louisiana and Texas the state of Louisiana would not be sufficiently representative of the great body of her citizens to maintain this bill.
In view of the solicitude which from time immemorial states have manifested for the interest of their own citizens; of the fact that wars are frequently waged by states in vindication of individual rights, of which the last war with England, the opium war of 1840 between Great Britain and China, and the war which is now being carried on in South Africa between Great Britain and the Transvaal Republic, are all notable examples; of the further fact that treaties are entered into for the protection of individual rights, that international tribunals are constantly being established for the settlement of rights of private parties.-it would seem a strange anomaly if a state of this union, which is prohibited by the Constitution from levying war upon another state, could not invoke the authority of this court by suit to raise an embargo which had been established by another state against its citizens and their property.
An embargo, though not an act of war, is frequently resorted to as preliminary to a declaration of war, and may be treated under certain circumstances as a sufficient casus belli. The case made by the bill is the extreme one of a total stoppage of all commerce between the most important city in Louisiana and the entire state of Texas; and while I fully agree that resort cannot be had to this court to vindicate the rights of individual citizens, or any particular number of individuals, where a state has assumed to prohibit all kinds of commerce with the chief city of another state, I think her motive for doing so is the proper subject of judicial inquiry.
It is true that individual citizens whose rights are seriously affected by a system of nonintercourse might, perhaps, maintain a bill of this kind; but to make the remedy effective it would be necessary to institute a multiplicity of suits, to carry on a litigation practically against a state in the courts of that state, and to assume the entire pecuniary burden of such litigation, when all the inhabitants of the complaining state are more or less interested in the result.
But the objection to the present bill is that it does not allege the stoppage of all commerce between the two states, but between the city of New Orleans and the state of Texas. The controversy is not one in which the citizens of Louisiana generally can be assumed to be interested, but only the citizens of New Orleans, and it therefore seems to me that the state is not the proper party complainant.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).

Leonard Digges,
Was born at Barham in the beginning of the sixteenth century and educated at University College, Oxford. "His mind," (says Fuller) "most inclined him to Mathematics, and he was the best architect in that age for all manner of buildings, for conveniency, pleasure, state, strength, being excellent at fortifications." He wrote a book on the measuring of land entitled "Tectonicum," published 1556, also a "Book of Rules," to judge the weather by "Sun, Moon and Stars," and other works. He died in 1573.

Mark Hildesley,
BISHOP,
Was born at Marston, near Sittingbourne, in 1698, of which place his father was rector. He was by descent connected with the royal family of England. He was educated at Charterhouse and Trinity College, Cambridge, of which he became a Fellow. After ordination, and holding several cures, he became rector of Holwell, in Bedfordshire. His exemplary conduct as a parish minister for twenty years, attracted the attention of the Duke of Athol, who, as lord of the Isle of Man, selected him to succeed the excellent and famous Bishop Wilson, ​in that Island. He devoted himself to the duties of his episcopal charge with the utmost assiduity, undertaking amongst other things, the task of getting the Scriptures, and Book of Common Prayer, translated into the Manx language. This task he just lived to see completed, for on the day after receiving the last part of the translation, he was seized with apoplexy, and died the 7th Dec, 1772. He was the author of a tract entitled "Plain Instructions for young persons in the principles of the Christian Religion," designed for the use of the Isle and Diocese of Man, published in 1762 and 1767. Bishop Hildesley's Memoirs have been written by the Rev. Weeden Butler, 1799, (q. v).

Joseph Champion,
PENMAN.
This celebrated professor of a useful art, was born at Chatham in 1709. He received his education at Johnson's Free Writing School in Foster Lane, London. He set up a boarding school in St. Paul's Church Yard, and subsequently in Bedford, at both of which academies he had many scholars, some of them persons of rank. He published a great number of Manuals upon Penmanship, and contributed 47 folio pieces to "Bickham's Universal Penman," in which he displays a beautiful variety of writing, both for ornament and use. He died about 1762.

Mary,
QUEEN,
Eldest daughter of Henry VIII., and Catherine of Aragon was born at Greenwich 18th February, 1518. Fuller says of her that she "partook of both her parents in her person and properties, having from her father a broad face, big voice, and undaunted spirit, from her mother a swarthy complexion, and a mind wholly given to the Romish religion." The events of her life and reign need not be recorded here. She died 17th November, 1558.

Josiah Burchett,
NAVAL HISTORIAN,
Was born at Sandwich about 1666. He served in the capacity of Secretary of the Admiralty, a position which probably suggested to him the undertaking with which his name is chiefly associated. This was, what he called "A Complete History of the most remarkable Transactions at Sea from the earliest accounts of Time." To such an ambitious work the author, though not wanting ​in scholarship and knowledge of antiquity, and having^ access to official documents, was necessarily unequal, and its production met with severe criticism. One critic spoke of it as "progenitor of those tomes of ponderous verbosity … palmed upon the public as 'Standard authorities' in naval history," and another spoke of the author as a landed gentleman of England "very much at sea upon maritime matters." Nevertheless, the work is a monument of industry, sufficient to earn for its author a place of honour in his county. He represented Sandwich in Parliament in 1705, and again in 1721. He died 20th October, 1746.

Lewis Theobald,
DRAMATIST AND CRITIC,
Was born at Sittingbourne, and educated for the law, which, however, he early abandoned for literature. His first production was a tragedy entitled "Electra," which appeared in 1714. He established a paper called The Censor, in which his criticism of some eminent wits provoked their resentment, and caused Pope to include him in the heroes of the Dunciad. In 1726 he published a piece entitled "Shakspeare Restored, or specimens of Blunders committed in Pope's Edition of this Poet." This did not, of course, tend to decrease the animosity of the great satirist towards him. He was the author of several dramatic pieces, and a Life of Sir Walter Raleigh; but the work by which he is now principally known is his edition of Shakespeare, edited with great pains and ingenuity, and published in 1733. He subsequently commenced an edition of Beaumont and Fletcher, but this work was arrested by his death in 1744.

Mary,
PRINCESS,
"Daughter of James I, and Anne of Denmark, was born at Greenwich" says Fuller, "April 8, 1605, about eleven o'clock at night, and baptized soon after with greater state than the memory of any then alive in England could recover. King James was wont pleasantly to say that he would not pray to the Virgin Mary, but he would pray for the Virgin Mary, meaning his daughter." But his prayers, were unavailing. The princess died in her infancy, and was buried at Westminster.

# Men of Kent and Kentishmen/Mary Honywood

Layout 2
Mary Honywood,
Is, not with out justice, enumerated by Fuller as amongst the "memorable persons" of Kent. Her maiden name was Waters, and she was a native of Lenham. The nature of her claim to remembrance may be learned from the following epitaph to be seen in Markeshall Church, Essex,—
"Here lieth the body of Mary Waters, daughter and co-heir of Robert Waters, of Lenham, Esquire, wife of Robert Honywood, of Charing, Esquire, who had at her decease lawfully descended from her, three hundred and sixty-seven children, sixteen of her own body, one hundred and fourteen grandchildren, two hundred and twenty-eight in the third generation, and nine in the fourth. She lived a most pious life, and in a Christian manner died here at Markeshall, in the ninety-third year of her age, the 11th May, 1620."
"Thus," says Fuller, "she had a child for every day in the year and one over." She was an earnest and energetic Protestant. "In the days of Queen Mary she used to visit the prisons, and comfort and relieve the confessors therein. She was present at the burning of Mr. Bradford, in Smithfield, and resolved to see the end of his suffering, though so great was the presse of the people ​that her shoes were trodden off, and she forced thereby to go bare-foot from Smithfield to St. Martin's before she could furnish herself with a new pair for her money."

PHYSICIAN,
Was born at Greenwich in 1617, and educated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, and at Cambridge, where he took a degree in Medicine. He was chosen Fellow of the College of Physicians in 1646, and in the following year he became lecturer in Anatomy, on which lectures his chief reputation is founded. He was a parliamentarian in politics and was appointed head-physician to the army, and represented the University of Oxford in the Little Parliament. At the Restoration he was removed from his appointments, but remained a Fellow of the College of Physicians, and was nominated a Fellow of the Royal Society at its first institution. He died March 24, 1674. He was the author of "A Discourse concerning Physic," and many other Medical and Scientific Treatises.

# Mine and Thine (1904)/Interchange

INTERCHANGE
The oriole sang in the apple-tree; The sick girl lay on her bed, and heard The tremulous note of the glad wild bird; And, "Ah!" she sighed, "to share with thee Life's rapture exquisite and strong: Its hope, its eager energy, Its fragrance and its song!"
The oriole swayed in the apple-tree, And he sang: "I will build, with my love, a nest, Fine as e'er welcomed a birdling guest: ​Like a pendent blossom, secure yet free, It shall hang from the bough above me there, Bright, bright with the gold that is combed for me From the sick girl's auburn hair!"
Then he built the nest in the apple-tree; And, burnished over, a ball of light, It gleamed and shone in the sick girl's sight, And she gazed upon it wonderingly: But when the bird had forever flown, They brought the nest from the apple-tree To the bed where she lay alone.
"O builder of this mystery!"— The wide and wistful eyes grew dim, And the soul of the sick girl followed him— ​"Dear bird! I have had part, through thee, In the life for which I long and long: Have shared its hope, its energy, Its rapture and its song!"
# Mine and Thine (1904)/Joan of Arc

JOAN OF ARC
Her spirit is to France a living spring From which to draw deep draughts of life. Today,— As when a peasant girl she led the way Victorious to Rheims and crowned the King,— High and heroic thoughts about her cling, And sacrificial faiths as pure as they, Moving the land she loved, with gentle sway, To be, for love of her, a better thing!
Was she unhappy? No: her radiant youth Burned, like a meteor, on to swift eclipse; ​But where it passed, there lingers still a light. She waited, wistful, for the word of truth That breathed in blessing from immortal lips When earthly comfort failed, and all around was night.
# Mine and Thine (1904)/Jean-François Millet

JEAN-FRANÇOIS MILLET
Not far from Paris, in fair Fontainebleau, A lovely, memory-haunted hamlet lies, Whose tender spell makes captive, and defies Forgetfulness. The peasants come and go,— Their backs too used to stoop,—and patient sow The harvest which their narrow need supplies; Even as when, Earth's pathos in his eyes, Millet dwelt here, companion of their woe.
Loved Barbizon! With thorns, not laurels, crowned, He looked thy sorrows in the face, and found— ​Vital as seed warm nestled in the sod— The hidden sweetness at the heart of pain; Trusting thy sun and dew, thy wind and rain,
# Mine and Thine (1904)/Love, Reproachful

LOVE, REPROACHFUL
Then Love, reproachful, sighed: "Art thou become Voiceless, who in my praise wast eloquent? To wound my name, unto high heaven is sent A vain lamenting,—the exordium Of fruitless plaint and chiding wearisome,— While they to whom my chiefest joys are lent, To worship me in silence are content!" Love, even so: whom thou dost bless are dumb.
Listen! That strain of ecstasy and pain! Far-echoing from Thrace, it breathes again, ​Lost Philomela's passion to prolong; Yet nested near in solitude, the dove— Beneath thy very pinions, gracious Love! Coos to her mate, but sings the world no song!
# Mine and Thine (1904)/In Winter Time

IN WINTER TIME
How sweet it is 'neath apple-blooms to lie, And breathe their breath! To peep through waving branches at the sky, To feel the zephyrs as they idle by, And question of the brooklet what it saith!
How sweet it is to roam through the green wold When labors cease! To hear the tranquil tale by Nature told— The tale that was not young, and grows not old— To find within the heart an answering peace!
​And though apart from Nature we maintain An alien quest, How sweet that we shall leave the strife and strain Some blessèd morn, and wander back again, And close our eyes, and in her bosom rest!
# Mine and Thine (1904)/James McNeill Whistler

JAMES McNEILL WHISTLER
Greatest of modern painters, he is dead!— Whistler, in whom death seemed to have no part: He of the nimble wit and jocund heart, Who sipped youth's nectar at the fountain-head, And felt its wine through all his veins run red: Who worshiped the ideal—not the mart, And blessed the world with an imperial Art, Whereby who longs for beauty may be fed!
When things men deem momentous are forgot, Laurels will bloom for him that wither not; ​And Death's inverted torch shall fail to smother The light of genius, tender and sublime, Which with austere restraint, and for all time, Painted the gentle portrait of the "Mother!"
# Mine and Thine (1904)/Madonna

MADONNA
He gazed, the little vagrant lad, On the Madonna's gentle face; And all his wistful visage sad Renewed its infant grace: He gazed, reluctant to depart, Then kissed her, shyly, as he stood— Ah, wondrous Art! his lonely heart But yearned to motherhood!
# Mine and Thine (1904)/Kenilworth

KENILWORTH
Towering above the plain, proud in decay,— Her tendriled ivies, like a woman's hair, Veiling her hurt and hiding her despair,— The monument of a departed day, The shadow of a glory passed away, Stands Kenilworth; stripped of her pomp, and bare Of all that made her so supremely fair When Power with Love contended for her sway.
In this wide ruin solemn and serene, Where moved majestical a virgin queen, ​The peacock struts, his ominous plumes outspread; And here, where casting an immortal spell A sad and girlish presence seems to dwell, The wild bird nests, and circles overhead.
# Mine and Thine (1904)/Love That Faltered

LOVE THAT FALTERED
Love that faltered for an hour Had not felt the awful power Of the god whom gods adore; Of the god before whose portal Kneel the deathless and the mortal,— Suppliant forever more.
Love that faltered had not heard Love's divine, compelling word, Or it instant had obeyed; Giving with the glad devotion Of the river for the ocean,— Doubting not, and unafraid.
​For with Love alone is joy Free from shadow of alloy; And before his sacred shrine, Sorrow, in her deepest sadness, Guards a hope more blest than gladness, And through worship grows divine!
