# Notable South Australians/Samuel Raphael

Layout 2
Samuel Raphael,
WHOSE association with the Adelaide Municipal Council extends back to primitive times in the civic body, arrived in this city from Sydney, New South Wales, in 1848. He established himself in business as a money-lender, and was universally recognised as a shrewd man. After about fifteen years he retired with a fair competence, acquired house property, and possessed no small influence as a ratepayer. He first entered the City Council in 1865, and remained one of its most enthusiastic members until 1870, after which for several years, though he contested every election, he was unsuccessful as a candidate for office. In ​1877 he was again re-elected, and retired by effluxion of time. In the present year he was returned for Grey Ward, and held the position of councillor at the time of his death, which took place in Adelaide on October 30, 1885. Mr. Raphael's eccentric speeches on what he considered popular subjects will not be speedily forgotten, nor the remarkable exhibitions of platform oratory with which he enlivened many a dull meeting. He was always a strenuous advocate for the rights of the citizens, and advocated what to him appeared their best interests.

Samuel White,
A WELL-KNOWN resident of the Reedbeds. Went to New Guinea in the early part of 1880, in the schooner Elsea, for the purpose of collecting specimens of natural history and making scientific researches. Died in Sydney, N.S.W., November 10, 1880. Mr. White was an intelligent and highly cultured man.
# Notable South Australians/Stephen Haddy

Layout 2
Stephen Haddy
WAS born in Plymouth Dock, now Devenport, in the year 1800. He received an excellent English education, and on leaving school was apprenticed to the trade of a cabinetmaker. As a boy he had shown a fondness for working in wood, and so persistent was his application, perseverance, and industry that on completion of his engagement his proficiency readily procured him employment with one of the best firms in London, where he assisted in preparing a suite of rooms for the Queen of Wurtemburg, who was at that time visiting at Windsor Castle. Mr. Haddy married, in March 1828, Miss M. B. Stenlake, of Plymouth, who for nearly forty years was a most exemplary wife and mother. She was well known at Port Adelaide, where she resided till her death, which took place in 1867. Li 1830 Mr. Haddy accepted an engagement in the County of Wicklow, Ireland, and resided there seventeen years. During this time a great potato-failure and famine occurred. It is customary with tradesmen as well as farmers to plant annually a crop of potatoes, and among those which escaped the devastating blight was the crop of Mr. Haddy, who then showed his sympathy by distributing it among the needy, regardless of creed or character. Indeed, his large-heartedness won the respect and gratitude of all who knew him, whether ​Protestant or Romanist. Though loyal to the faith of his fathers, he recognised the right of every man to hold his own honest convictions in religion or politics. Returning to Devonshire in 1846, he established a lucrative business. He arrived with his family in South Australia by the barque "Jenny Lind," June 13, 1850, and was warmly welcomed by his brother Joseph, who had preceded him hither fourteen years previously. He lost no time in starting business at Port Adelaide, where he also acted as agent for the late Charles Simeon Hare. In 1854 he accompanied two of his sons to the Victorian diggings, where the party were fairly successful, and, after some rather remarkable adventures, returned to Port Adelaide. He here continued to follow his trade, which, by the aid of his sons, he brought to great perfection. His death took place on August 8, 1875, and was the result of an accident whilst he was on a visit to his son at Mintaro. Mr. Haddy's whole life was exemplary, and a proof of what practical excellence can exist with the necessities of constant hard work to bring up and place out respectably in the world a large family. His truth, benevolence, charity, and kindness have never probably been exceeded by any one, even in the highest walks of colonial life. His sons still reside at Port Adelaide, where they are well known and eminently respected.
# Notable South Australians/Samuel Benson

Samuel Benson.
HUNDREDS of visitors to Adelaide, as well as residents here, who have passed through the Government Offices in King William-street, have greatly admired a most delightful miniature garden in the centre, known as "Benson's Quadrangle," but few are aware that a spot ever green in the hottest days in summer has been made thus attractive by one man, viz:—Samuel Benson, with the simplest appliances, and in a manner which is a wonder even to experienced gardeners. He is an intelligent, though self-taught individual, and evidently possesses great taste. He arrived in Western Australia in 1851, with his parents, and was connected with the Government service of that colony. In 1861 he joined the Mounted Police in Victoria, and was regarded as a most useful man in the force. Returned to Western Australia in 1863, and in 1866 was Corporal and Acting Superintendent of Water Police at Camden Harbour. During this period the "Forlorn Hope" voyage party arrived there, and were ​hospitably entertained by him. Came to South Australia in 1866; was appointed orderly to Governor Daly, and held a similar office to succeeding Governors till December 1879, when he left to take the position of keeper of the Government Offices in Adelaide. During the visit of H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh Mr. Benson was his orderly, and attended him during his stay in the colony. On the Duke's leaving, Mr. Benson received his thanks and those of his suite for the manner in which he had performed his duties.

S. Kidner,
BORN in London in 1809, died at Hindmarsh, Adelaide, August 11, 1883. Well-known for many years as a prominent homœopathist in London, where he practised until 1857, when he sailed for Victoria and established himself in Melbourne. Arrived in Adelaide in 1860, and finding his services in great request, decided to remain here, and was eminently successful. Mr. Kidner will be long remembered for the warm interest he took in the young, and for his benevolent disposition.
# Notable South Australians/Samuel White Sweet

Layout 2
Samuel White Sweet,
BORN at Portsea, England, May 1, 1825; joined H.M. Navy in 1844, and served on the China Station till 1849, chiefly in the signal department. Studied navigation, astronomy, and meteorology, and then joined the merchant service. In March, 1857, he was appointed to the command of the ship "Pizarro," and kept the meteorological log for the Board of Trade for three years, registering every four hours night and day, receiving from Admiral Fitzroy letters of Honorable Mention, especially in reference to forty sets of Lunars taken during one passage of seventy days. He was also presented with a large volume full of valuable information to seamen, with the wind-current and thermal charts of the world. During one of Captain Sweet's voyages in the "Pizarro," the crew mutinied, and the outbreak was only quelled by the prompt steps taken by their Commander. ​In 1861 Captain Sweet surveyed the harbour of "Pena Blanca" in South America, and had the honor of seeing the result of his labors placed on their charts by the British Admiralty. He gave up a sea-faring life in 1863, and emigrated to Queensland with his family with a view to embark in cotton growing. Failing, however, in that object, he came to Adelaide in 1867, and in February 1869, received from the Government of South Australia the appointment of Commander in H.M.C. Navy. He surveyed the Roper River from its entrance for a distance of 100 miles; piloted steamers up and down this river, plotted a chart of the survey, fixed the latitude and longitude of the mouth of the river, and then returned to Adelaide. He next served three years as master mariner in the Black Diamond line, and in 1875 finally retired from the sea and settled in Adelaide. Since that period Captain Sweet has devoted his attention almost wholly to photography, and the views of scenery taken by him are unequalled ia their fidelity and beauty; in fact, as a landscape photographer he is unequalled in the colony.

Spencer John Skipper
IS the eldest son of the late J. M. Skipper, and a native of Adelaide. He was educated for the law, but his literary instincts led him towards journalism, and some satirical verses from his pen, which appeared in that trenchant paper Pasquin, having attracted the attention of the witty editor (the late E. R. Mitford), Mr. Skipper became a constant contributor to it. Subsequently he secured a position on the literary staff of the Register, where he is now well known as a versatile writer. Very enthusiastic in manly sports, he has interested himself greatly in yachting, cycling, and rifle-shooting, and to his exertions, in conjunction with the late Captain Gray, the Rifle Volunteer Force mainly owes its existence. He has always been a strong supporter of the defence movement in the colony.

I concur in Part III of Judge Merritt's opinion. I concur also in the issuance of the order as attached to the opinion.
Because I am interested in the responses which may be made by the parties to the inquiries set forth in the order, I am unable at this time to concur in that portion of the opinion that concludes that the EPA's failure to validate CRSTER at the Eastlake and Avon Lake Plants in accordance with its own guidelines was arbitrary and capricious. I therefore prefer to reserve my own judgment on this issue until we have received responses from the parties and have had a chance to evaluate it further.

Ohio v. Wyandotte Chemicals Corp. et al.
Motion for Leave to File Bill of Complaint
No. 41, Orig. Argued: January 18, 1971. --- Decided: March 23, 1971
The State of Ohio filed a motion for leave to file a bill of complaint invoking the Court's original jurisdiction against defendant companies, incorporated in Michigan, Delaware, and Canada, to abate an alleged nuisance resulting in the contamination and pollution of Lake Erie from the dumping of mercury into its tributaries. The Court declines to exercise its jurisdiction in this case since the issues are bottomed on local law that the Ohio courts are competent to consider; several national and international bodies are actively concerned with the pollution problems involved here; and the nature of the case requires the resolution of complex, novel, and technical factual questions that do not implicate important problems of federal law, which are the primary responsibility of the Court. Pp. 495-505.

# Notes of a Pianist/Biographical Sketch

PREFACE TO THE BIOGRAPHY.
In the accompanying biographical sketch of Louis Moreau Gottschalk, the desire has been to present a short history of his ancestry, and of his early years, derived from documents in possession of his family, and from the immediate knowledge of his brother and sisters. As regards his talents and genius, they have preferred to refer to the criticisms of well-known artists and writers, a few of which have been inserted. This sketch, with his "Notes," and his musical compositions, they believe, will enable every one to form a just idea of Gottschalk, as an artist, composer, scholar, and man.

# Notes of a journey across the Isthmus of Krà/Introduction

NOTES OF A JOURNEY ACROSS THE ISTHMUS OF KRÀ, &c.
In the early part of this year, as Commissioner for His Most Gracious Majesty The King of Siam. I accompanied the French Expedition to survey the Isthmus of Krà for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of constructing a maritime canal to connect the Bay of Bengal with the Gulf of Siam. The Expedition landed at Paknam Chumpon, on the east side of the Isthmus, on the 16th January, and left Muong Rehnong, on the west side, (Bay of Bengal), for France, via Penang and Singapore, about the 4th of April, the whole time occupied being two months and nineteen days.
I was with the Expedition the whole time, and had ample time and opportunity to make independent observations.
The following Notes, with the accompanying Map and Sections, are the result of observations then made, and, while not pretending to scientific accuracy, they may be relied on as being sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes.
I do not know, of course, what conclusion the French engineers came to on the subject, but my own opinion, formed after careful investigation, is that such a canal as that proposed is quite impracticable. My reasons for thinking so will appear in the course of the following paper.
It will be remembered that the idea of cutting through the Isthmus of Krà has been frequently mooted, and in 1863 a Survey was made on behalf of the Indian Government by Captain Alexander Fraser and Captain J. G. Forlong of the Bengal Engineers. Their report was published at the time, but as it is extremely interesting at present, and is not easily accessible. I have added it to this pamphlet as an appendix. It will be observed that these officers pronounced a canal to be impracticable, but they recommended a railway. It is ​evident however that their survey was very hastily and roughly made. Indeed they say so themselves. On one most important point they made a serious miscalculation They stated the height of the Krà Pass to be 75 feet above the level of the sea, which is clearly a very great underestimate. Lieutenant Bagges, who was sent by the Indian Government in 1868 to survey the boundary between Tenasserim and Siam, stated the height of the Krà Pass to be 250 feet, which agrees exactly with my own observations. The opinion therefore of Captains Fraser and Forlong regarding the practicability of a railway must be received with caution. But whether a railway could be made or not, I think in these days of swift steamers, it could not compete with them, and would not pay. Without further preface I shall proceed with my notes.

## Verse 1

Now sweet Flo and Joe, With lights burning low, Sat spooning as all lovers do; Her wee sister Rose Stood on her tiptoes And eagerly kept peeping through. Oh my, oh what bliss, She soon heard them kiss, As he gently called her "My Dear." The very next day When Flo came her way She whispered these words in her ear:

## Chorus

"Oh! What I know about you, Oh! What I know about you. Don't say you didn't, 'Cause I overheard. Honest go goodness I won't say a word. Oh! What I know about you, Something that I wouldn't do, Fr be it from me To repeat what I see, But oh! What I know about you."

## Verse 2

Next evening when Joe Called 'round to see Flo, He found little Rose all alone. In her cunning way He soon heard her say, "My sister said she's not at home." Her face wore a grin. She said, "Please come in," Poor Joseph, oh my what he saw. There sat pretty Flo With her other beau-- Rose cried to her sister once more;

## Chorus

"Oh! What I know about you, Oh! What I know about you. Don't say you didn't, 'Cause I overheard. Honest go goodness I won't say a word. Oh! What I know about you, Something that I wouldn't do, Fr be it from me To repeat what I see, But oh! What I know about you."
