PROPOSITION II.
A PREMISS BY WHICH THE THIRD ALTERNATIVE IS ELIMINATED.
DEMONSTRATION.
If that which we neither know nor are ignorant of were not the contradictory, it would be knowable; because whatever is not contradictory is knowable. But if it (that viz., which we neither know nor are ignorant of) were knowable, we must either know it or be ignorant of it. If we know it, we cannot neither know it nor be ignorant of it; and if we are ignorant of it, we cannot neither know it nor be ignorant of it. Therefore whatever we neither know nor are ignorant of cannot be knowable; and not being knowable, it must be the contradictory; because everything except the contradictory is knowable. Consequently, whatever we neither know nor are ignorant of, is, and must be, the contradictory.
OBSERVATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS.
Why this proposition is introduced.1. This proposition and the next supply the premises by means of which Proposition IV. is enabled to eliminate or get rid of the third alternative in regard to Absolute Existence—thus reducing the alternatives from three to two.
Second counter-proposition.2. Second Counter-proposition.—The contradictory is a topic which has never engaged the attention either of natural thinking or of psychological science; and therefore there is, in this case, no exact counter-proposition. At any rate, it is a mere repetition of the first, and may be laid down in the following terms: "There is no middle between knowledge and ignorance; we must either know or be ignorant of a thing, and we cannot neither know nor be ignorant of anything."
To what extent it is true. 3. Not if the thing is knowable or intelligible,—in that case, certainly, we cannot neither know it, nor be ignorant of it, but must either know it or be ignorant of it. But if the thing is absolutely unknowable or contradictory, or that which is not to be known at all, or on any terms by any intelligence, in that case, it is certain that we can neither know it nor be ignorant of it. When taken with this explanation or qualification (see preceding Prop., Obs. 6-9), the correctness of the ​counter-proposition may be conceded. At any rate, it is unnecessary to trouble ourselves with it any further, because the third alternative concluded for in Proposition I., which this counter-proposition rejects summarily, and without a hearing, is the very point which this system rejects after having submitted it (in Props. I. II. III. IV.) to a fair and legitimate trial. So that the system may here take credit for having raised, of its own accord, and surmounted by legitimate means, a difficulty or objection which would not have been thrown in its way, either by ordinary thinking or by psychology, If this third alternative could not have been logically got rid of, the ontology would have been brought to a stand-still.

PROPOSITION VII.
IGNORANCE OF THE EGO PER SE.
DEMONSTRATION.
There can be no ignorance of the ego or mind per se, because (by Prop. IX. Epistemology) there can be no knowledge of it; and because (by Prop. III. Agnoiology) there can be no ignorance of that of which there can be no knowledge.
OBSERVATIONS AND EXPLANATIONS.
Design and effect of this proposition.1. This proposition, which is the obverse of the ninth of the epistemology, is designed to protect the reader, whom the latter proposition has saved ​from the contradiction involved in the supposition that there can be any knowledge of the ego per se from falling into the opposite contradiction of supposing that there can be any ignorance of it.
Seventh counter-proposition.2. Seventh Counter-proposition.—"We can be ignorant, and are ignorant, of the ego per se; in other words, there can be, and there is, an ignorance of the mind in a state of pure indetermination, or with no thing or thought present to it." This counter-proposition is sufficiently demolished by the antagonist proposition, and may be left to expire without further comment.
What the agnoiology does next.3. The present and preceding propositions (IV. V. VI. VII.) have fixed what there can not be an ignorance of: the next article settles what alone there can be an ignorance of.
# Once a Week (magazine)/Series 1/Volume 5/A phase of the paper question: the rag merchant in Brittany

A PHASE OF THE PAPER QUESTION. THE RAG MERCHANT IN BRITTANY.
There live amongst the mountains of Bretagne a peculiar sort of tradespeople, called by the natives “Pillavers.” The pillaver is a nomadic rag-merchant, leading in every respect the life of a gipsy, except that he does not, like him, drag his family with him, but leaves them in some cave in the mountains to await his return from his trips through the country, where he purchases quantities of rags to re-sell them to the paper manufacturers. He goes from farm to farm, cottage to cottage, and hut to hut, where he announces his arrival by the lugubrious cry—“Pillaver! Pillaver!” His favourite haunts are the most wretched and poor huts, where he is sure to find his commodity. He is a sort of notorious hobgoblin, who knocks at the doors of the unhappy, and reminds them of their poverty. He is, therefore, hated and possibly shunned, while in rich families his call is considered an insult, and his knock is usually answered by “Be off! there are no rags here for you.”
“Very well,” rejoins the pillaver, in an ominously ironical tone, “I will come by-and-by,” and moves on to a near cottage to find what he seeks.
But even in the huts where a few rags are sold to him he is received with contempt and abhorrence, and is seldom allowed to advance as far as the fire-place. The rags are brought to him to the threshold, where the bargain is made. His honesty is so distrusted that even the poorest of the poor fear his thieving craft; he is—as the song goes—without church and religion.
We will cite, in illustration, a few stanzas of the popular song about the pillaver:—

Noyes v. Hall
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois.
In April, 1858, Luther Hall, tenant in fee of certain lands in Illinois, mortgaged them to Lauren A. Noyes, to secure the payment of $1,075, and on June 4, 1859, made a contract, in writing, to sell them to Hollis S. Hall, for $3,000, payable in instalments. In February, 1860, the latter sold his interest in the lands to Wright C. Hall, who paid him $300, and assumed the conditions of his contract by making a new one with said Luther, of the same date and tenor. In March, 1860, said Wright enclosed the lands, and from that date has had open, continuous, and visible possession of them. His contract with said Luther was never recorded. Feb. 10, 1864, by deed recorded on the 19th of that month, Luther, having received all the instalments of the purchase-money for the lands, conveyed them to said Wright.
In May, 1861, Woodward, assignee of said Noyes, brought suit in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Northern District of Illinois, to foreclose the mortgage, but failed to make said Wright a party. A decree by default was entered, under which the lands were sold in October, 1861, by a master of the court, and purchased for $400, by one Pickering. The balance of the mortgage debt was satisfied by sales of other property. Sept. 1, 1871, Pickering duly conveyed the lands to said Noyes, who, in October, 1872, brought ejectment against said Wright. The latter, on December 14, following, filed this bill, praying that the further prosecution of that action be restrained, and that he be allowed to redeem the lands.
The court decreed that said Wright was the owner in fee of the premises, and was entitled to redeem by paying $400, the amount bid at the master's sale, with interest thereon from the date of said sale, at the rate prescribed by the mortgage, amounting in all to the sum of $933.33. From that decree Noyes appealed to this court.
Mr. Elliott Anthony for the appellant.
Mr. H. D. Beam, contra.
MR. JUSTICE CLIFFORD delivered the opinion of the court.

# Noyd v. Bond/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
393 U.S. 1048
Noyd v. Bond
Petitioner, incarcerated as a result of a court martial, has filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals denying him standing to challenge the place and manner of his incarceration prior to final review of his conviction because he had not exhausted all of his military remedies. Unlike Gusik v. Schilder, 340 U.S., 128, 71 S.Ct. 149, 95 L.Ed. 146, this habeas corpus proceeding in the federal courts does not challenge purported error in a court martial trial prior to exhaustion of military remedies. Rather the question is whether the doctrine of exhaustion of military remedies applies where the question is whether the court martial authority acts outside its jurisdiction. Cf. United States ex rel. Guagliardo v. McElroy, 104 U.S.App.D.C. 112, 259 F.2d 927, 929, aff'd 361 U.S. 281, 80 S.Ct. 305, 4 L.Ed.2d 282. That question seems to be one of first impression.
The question seems to me to be a substantial one on which the full Court should pass, which it will not be able to do until January 10, 1969. I therefore have concluded that until the Court is able to pass on the petition for writ of certiorari, petitioner should be placed in a non-incarcerated status, which as the District Court said, should prevent his superiors from 'assigning the plaintiff to combat activity or requiring him to perform duties whereby he will be perhaps faced with the necessity of a General Court Martial or other proceedings that might injure him as a practical matter.'
The precise terms and conditions may be settled by the District Court.

## Notes

* ↑ Art. 71(c) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice provides: 'No sentence which includes, unsuspended, a dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge, or confinement for one year or more, may be executed until affirmed by a board of review and, in cases reviewed by it, the Court of Military Appeals.'
* ↑ My Brother White denied this application December 18, 1968; and I would therefore take this present application to the full Court were the members available. But since I feel that a substantial question is presented by the petition for writ of certiorari and since the problem raises a further issue, also unresolved, concerning the scope of review by the Court of Military Appeals and the role reserved for the regular federal courts, I feel that petitioner is entitled to relief pending consideration of the petitio for certiorari January 10, 1969.

Mr. Justice WHITE, dissenting.
The petition for certiorari in this case sought a determination that petitioner was being subjected to illegal restraints pending the appeal of his courtmartial conviction to the appropriate tribunals. Since his sentence had begun to run at the time it was imposed, it would have expired on December 26, 1968, unless suspended or otherwise interrupted. Hence when the petition was filed here, the most petitioner had to gain from this litigation, which does not reach the merits of his conviction, was that for the duration of his sentence-two days at the time Mr. Justice Douglas ordered his release from confinement-he was not to be subject to the restraints then being imposed on him. Surely this is a picayune issue which does not warrant decision here in any event, either alone or in conjunction with the exhaustion question. Petitioner should not have brought the custody question to the federal courts in the first place; and by the same token, if to preserve the issue he desired suspension of his sentence or its equivalent, that matter also should have been presented first to the military tribunals rather than to the District Court. I would dismiss the writ as improvidently granted.

# Peggy-in-the-Rain/Chapter 18

XVIII
EDNESDAY and Thursday passed laggingly. Friday found Gordon nervous, unstrung, alternating between a calm certainty that all would come right and a despairing certainty that Peggy was lost to him. Hoping, but scarcely expecting that she might write to him to-day instead of waiting for the morrow, he stayed at home all the afternoon, breaking a business appointment to do so, and watched for the postman. As the time passed his nervousness became an irritability so unusual that Hurd became worried and dogged him solicitously until Gordon, with a flare of temper, damned him away. After the last delivery had been made he slammed out of the house and walked through a drizzle to the nearest club, where, by two in the morning he had managed by execrable playing, to lose many dollars at auction.
By Saturday morning the drizzle had become a ​very healthy downpour. Meaning to arise early, he overslept and reached the dining-room at half-past nine. The mail was heaped beside his plate. His heart, none too steady at best to-day, seemed to turn completely over as he sank into his chair under the sympathetic and comprehending eyes of Hurd. He pushed the grapefruit away and took up the Herald.
"Coffee, Hurd," he said. "Nothing else, please."
"The kidneys are very nice, sir," ventured Hurd.
"Nothing else, Hurd," responded Gordon in a tone that was final. Hurd poured the coffee gravely. Then he cunningly moved the toast-rack nearer.
"You may go," muttered Gordon, glancing unseeingly at the first page of the paper. Hurd retired noiselessly. Gordon gulped half the coffee, seized the letters and went to the window. There, with hands that trembled, he went over them in feverish hurry. Circulars, bills, announcements, broker's communications fell unheeded to the carpet. He had never seen Peggy's handwriting, and his first draw was a blank, an invitation to dinner. ​Impatiently he tossed it aside and again shuffled over the remaining letters. One, addressed in an easy flowing hand on a cheap business-shape envelope, was thrice disregarded, and only when he had been disappointed four times did he open it, already concluding that she had written, if at all, too late for the first delivery. The single sheet of cheap gray paper inside didn't fit the envelope and Gordon scarcely troubled to glance at the signature. But what he saw was sufficient to rivet his attention.
He let the note drop, fumbled for his cigarette case, and, not until he had sent a half-dozen clouds of blue smoke at the gray, rain-blurred window did he rescue the letter and, with pounding heart, read it.
Sincerely, Peggy.
# Peggy-in-the-Rain/Chapter 2

II
N the branches of a chinaberry tree outside the open window a mocking-bird was going through his repertoire, a repertoire of trills and gurgles and sudden flutings that started off with a dash and invariably ended, after a dozen notes, for all the world like the performance of a tenor who has forgotten his song. But, unlike the singer, he showed no embarrassment. Off he went again, throatily chanting of the rain that had brought him a bountiful supper, trilling of the charms and virtues of his mate, who, doubtless, was attending to her housewifely duties and awaiting her lord's return in some nearby tree. Gordon, getting leisurely into his dinner clothes, went to the window and watched him where, halfway along a slender branch, he stood, head up, pouring a cascade of music from his trim gray body.
"Go it, you little duffer," encouraged Gordon, ​wrestling with a stubborn stud. "Tilt your head back and let's have it. That's the stuff!"
The bird heard and cocked an inquiring beady eye toward the open window. He shifted one foot, put his head at an angle and examined Gordon exhaustively. Then, apparently satisfied, he swelled his throat, took a firm grip on the branch and proceeded to tell all about everything. And Gordon, having conquered the refractory stud, listened.
Swing, swing, swing in the chinaberry tree!
Here's a breeze! Here's a breeze!
The leaves are rustling about me
And the twilight is creeping up, up
Over the hill and through the darkening forest,
And the moon, the tiny moon, hangs like a silver worm
Above the steeple. It has rained and the world
Is damp and fragrant, and the little fat bugs
Are crawling. There's one! There's one! There's one!   Sing, sing, sing in the chinaberry tree!
Hear me! Hear me! Hear me!
Was ever a song so sweet as mine?
See me ruffle and swell! What a voice have I!
I have dined; I am happy; I sing! Over there
Sits my plump little wife by our nest.
If I call she will answer. Did you hear? Did you hear?
Such a sweet little wife! I love her, I love her!
Eh? Did she call? Just a minute, my dear;
I must finish my song; just a minute, a minute, a minute!
Oh, how I sing! I'm in love with my voice.
And my wife and the beautiful world! Heigho! Good night!
Here I come! Here I come! Here I come!
Off he darted, a gray streak in the soft twilight.
"If there's a Hammerstein in Birdland," murmured Gordon, "he will have you signed for next season, I bet."
He lighted a cigarette, flicked the match onto the lawn below and blew a blue cloud of smoke through the window,
"What a voice she had!" he went on, half to himself. "Peggy! What a dear, queer little name! Peggy-in-the-Rain, she called herself." He smiled. "Please, who are you, Peggy-in-the-Rain? And where are you now, I wonder. Just around the corner, on the next street? Up yonder there in the big hotel? Out on Whiskey Road in some big white stucco palace? Are you ​thinking of me—a little—Peggy-in-the-Rain? Well, wherever you are, my dear, here's to you." He lifted a glass and drained the last spoonful of amber in the bottom. "Here's to you and to our next meeting, Peggy-in-the-Rain!"
# Peggy-in-the-Rain/Chapter 23

ACK in his room Gordon dropped into a chair under the light and pulled the crumpled sheet of paper from his pocket. Tenderly he smoothed it out, and then, tossing away his cigar and pressing his lips to the letter, he read what she had written.
It seemed so easy—if what is easy can be the hardest thing in life!—such a fine, courageous thing to say no before and go away from you. I meant it all then, or part of me did; my heart ​never did. But now all the courage has left me and I'm just tired and lonely. I thought then that I was denying you because it was right, that I should, morally right, I mean. Now I think it was more my pride than anything else that prompted me to it. I wasn't willing to be pointed at, dear. I don't think I'm bad; I don't want to be. But I'm a woman and I want happiness. There is so very little else that a woman gets. If she misses that she has nothing. Perhaps I'm a coward, but I can't help it, and I did try, didn't I?
Now how shall I say what I want to? But you've already seen what is in my mind, dear, haven't you? That is, if you've read this far, and, oh, I hope you have! I've tried to be happy without you, and I've failed. I've tried to do without happiness, and I've failed. I think I have a right to happiness if I am willing to pay its price. I am willing. Is it too late? Dear, if you still care—not just a little, but as much as you did—come for me or let me come to you. I make no conditions. Just love me as long as you can, dear. And please, please don't think that I am offering to sell myself. I am giving myself—if you want the gift.
Margaret Milburn.
Afterward he read the letter again. And a long time afterward he undressed and went to bed. But sleep stayed far away from him. Some ​time in the early morning he arose, switched on the lights and, seating himself at the desk, wrote a letter to his mother. He spent the better part of a half-hour at it, and when it was finished he addressed it very deliberately and stamped it and laid it on the table by the door. Then he went to the open window and leaned out. In the east there was a dim radiance that foretold the dawn. The lights along the boulevard shone blurred through a gentle rain. He held his hands out, and when they were wet laved his forehead with the moisture.
He stood there many minutes with his thoughts. At last he raised his face toward the dark sky and smiled.
"I guess you'll understand, Dad," he murmured.
A drop of rain fell on his lips, and he laughed softly.
"Was that a kiss from you, dear?" he whispered. "Was it, Peggy, my Peggy-in-the-Rain?"
