## About this transcription

Text underlined with grey dots contains a footnote, like so. In some browsers the footnote will appear in a short-lived pop-up window if you hover your mouse pointer over the text. (In the example given in this paragraph the phrase "like so" should be underlined, and yield the the phrase "This is a footnote".)
This is a rough transcription from the scans found at the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/details/oldpeoplethingst00coupuoft.
I used the Internet Archive's TXT version as source, and processed the document as follows (SR = automatic search and replace):
* Added a table of contents, and this back matter ("About the author and this work" and "About this transcription")
* Added HTML for headings and paragraphs
* Normalised a lot of punctuation (mostly removing spaces from ellipses and so on; SR)
* Cleaned up ellipses (which were often recognised as for instance .,.;, instead of .....; SR)
* Tried to fix misrecognised italicized text where I stumbled upon it, but I did not italicize the text in HTML
* Reconnected words that were broken/hyphenated across two lines
* Removed the page titles
* Removed extraneous front and back matter
* Added accents back to some names and words that had lost them during OCR, mostly SR
* Tried to restore em-dashes (these got mostly lost in the OCR process, it seems)
Things I failed to do:
* Fix scannos (text seems very clean though, except where the software had to recognise italicized text)
* Separate paragraphs correctly (sometimes the OCR had stuck paragraphs together)
This book is in the public domain.

# Northern Standard/1886/A tribute to Sir John Lentaigne

Saturday, November 27, 1886; Page: 5
A tribute to Sir John Lentaigne
Dr Robert M'Donnoll has written the following to tho Pall Mall Gazette:—
"The largo and mixed assemblage of friends that a few days ago followed the late Sir John Lentaigne to his last resting-place is tho best proof that even in Ireland sectarian differences vanish in the presence of real worth. My own intimacy with him dates for fifty years back, at the time when he, with Sir Walter Crofton, presided over the Irish convict prisons Sir John Lentaigne was truly a remarkable man, and well deserving of fuller notice than has been recorded in the public journals. Ho was a rare combination of shrewdness and worldly_wisdom, with tho great qualities which go to make up tho noble nature of a self-sacrificing philanthropist—
The pupil of impulse, it forced him along; His conduct still right, with his argument— Still aiming at honour.
"A devoted adherent of the Roman Catholic Church, he was absolutely free from the least taint of bigotry or intolerance. If it be true, as Lecky somewhere says, that the Irishman who makes a friend of a fellow countryman of a different religion from his own is a benefactor to his country, then Lentaigne was one. He numbered among his friends many who, like myself, _though a different religion, accorded to him the most unbounded admiration for a large and catholic spirit of Christian charity which led him to devote his life to tho improvement and reform of the criminal classes. Fur many years every female servant in his house was one who had been a convict. He made his own home a place to test the soundness of their reformation, and ultimately, if this was found satisfactory, he sought to have them absorbed again among the working population. He was rarely or ever disappointed in the success of his efforts. By a witty profligate he was ridiculed for his undertaking, but most persons will admit that it was an instance of true practical benevolence. from which most of us would shrink with fear. Sir John Lentaigne possessed one quality which peculiarly fitted him to undertake tho reformation of prisoners and convicts. Ho had perfect faith in human nature. Ho believed with intense earnestness that even in tho most degraded criminals there exists tho germ of good, tho seed which, by careful, tender culture, may be developed and ultimately boar good fruit. A loving faith pervaded his whole life, and was tho secret of his success."

193 U.S. 197
Northern Securities Company v. United States
Argued: December 14, 15, 1903. --- Decided: March 14, 1904
Mr. Justice White, with whom concur Mr. Chief Justice Fuller, Mr. Justice Peckham, and Mr. Justice Holmes, dissenting:
The Northern Securities Company is a New Jersey corporation; the Great Northern Railway Company, a Minnesota one; and the Northern Pacific Railway Company, a Wisconsin corporation. Whilst in the argument at bar the government referred to the subject, nevertheless it expressly disclaimed predicating any claim for relief upon the fact that the predecessor in title of the Northern Pacific Railway Company was a corporation created by act of Congress. That fact, therefore, may be eliminated.
The facts essential to be borne in mind to understand my point of view, without going into details, are as follows: The lines of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railway Companies are both transcontinental, that is, trunk lines to the Pacfic Ocean,-and in some aspects are conceded to be competing. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill and a few persons immediately associated with them separately acquired and owned capital stock of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, aggregating a majority thereof. Mr. Hill and others associated with him owned, in the same manner, about onethird of the capital stock of the Great Northern Railway Company, the balance of the stock being distributed among about eighteen hundred stockholders. Although Mr. Hill and his immediate associates owned only one third of the stock, the confidence reposed in Mr. Hill was such that, through proxies, his influence was dominant in the affairs of that company.

United States Supreme Court
154 U.S. 608
Northwestern Union Packet Company v. Euphralia F Viles
The errors assigned in this case are the same as those which were considered in the case of these plaintiffs against Clough and wife, just decided (20 Wall. 528), except that some assigned in that case have not been assigned in this. The rejection of Turner's deposition and the admission of the captain's declarations to Mrs. Clough are the only matters now brought to our attention. We need add nothing to what we have said in the former case. The same reasons that required the reversal of the judgment obtained by Clough and wife require the reversal of this judgment. Indeed, the error here is more apparent. It does not appear that the conversation of the captain with Mrs. Clough occurred before the plaintiff left the boat, and before the relation as a passenger to the defendants or to the captain had ceased. In fact, the contrary appears.
The judgment of the circuit court is reversed, and a venire de novo is directed.

Houses and Families.—A good story is told of the Murrays of Blackbarony, now represented by Mr. Murray of Mount Melville, in Scotland. An ancestor of that clan, who was ridiculously proud of his lineage, said to his friend Sir John Sinclair, who was talking of old families, “Sir, there are plenty of very old and very good families in all countries, and in Scotland, too; but there are only three houses in Europe—the Bourbons of France, the Hapsburgs of Austria, and the Murrays of Blackbarony.”

# Our Photographs

She play'd me false, but that's not why I haven't quite forgiven Di, Although I've tried: This curl was hers, so brown, so bright, She gave it me one blissful night, And—-more beside!
In photo we were group'd together; She wore the darling hat and feather That I adore; In profile by her side I sat Reading my poetry—-but that She'd heard before.
Why, after all, Di threw me over I never knew, and can't discover, Or even guess; May be Smith's lyrics she decided Were sweeter than the sweetest I did—- I acquiesce.
A week before their wedding day, When Smith was call'd in haste away To join the Staff, Di gave to him, with tearful mien, Our only photograph. I've seen That photograph.
I've seen it in Smith's album-book! Just think! her hat—her tender look, Are now that brute's! Before she gave it, off she cut My body, head, and lyrics, but She was obliged, the little slut, To leave my Boots.

# Pantagruel/Chapter XX
## How Thaumast relateth the virtues and knowledge of Panurge

Then Thaumast rose up, and, putting off his cap, did very kindly thank the said Panurge, and with a loud voice said unto all the people that were there: My lords, gentlemen, and others, at this time may I to some good purpose speak that evangelical word, Et ecce plus quam Salomon hic! You have here in your presence an incomparable treasure, that is, my lord Pantagruel, whose great renown hath brought me hither, out of the very heart of England, to confer with him about the insoluble problems, both in magic, alchemy, the cabal, geomancy, astrology, and philosophy, which I had in my mind. But at present I am angry even with fame itself, which I think was envious to him, for that it did not declare the thousandth part of the worth that indeed is in him. You have seen how his disciple only hath satisfied me, and hath told me more than I asked of him. Besides, he hath opened unto me, and resolved other inestimable doubts, wherein I can assure you he hath to me discovered the very true well, fountain, and abyss of the encyclopaedia of learning; yea, in such a sort that I did not think I should ever have found a man that could have made his skill appear in so much as the first elements of that concerning which we disputed by signs, without speaking either word or half word. But, in fine, I will reduce into writing that which we have said and concluded, that the world may not take them to be fooleries, and will thereafter cause them to be printed, that everyone may learn as I have done. Judge, then, what the master had been able to say, seeing the disciple hath done so valiantly; for, Non est discipulus super magistrum. Howsoever, God be praised! and I do very humbly thank you for the honour that you have done us at this act. God reward you for it eternally! The like thanks gave Pantagruel to all the company, and, going from thence, he carried Thaumast to dinner with him, and believe that they drank as much as their skins could hold, or, as the phrase is, with unbuttoned bellies (for in that age they made fast their bellies with buttons, as we do now the collars of our doublets or jerkins), even till they neither knew where they were nor whence they came. Blessed Lady, how they did carouse it, and pluck, as we say, at the kid's leather! And flagons to trot, and they to toot, Draw; give, page, some wine here; reach hither; fill with a devil, so! There was not one but did drink five and twenty or thirty pipes. Can you tell how? Even sicut terra sine aqua; for the weather was hot, and, besides that, they were very dry. In matter of the exposition of the propositions set down by Thaumast, and the signification of the signs which they used in their disputation, I would have set them down for you according to their own relation, but I have been told that Thaumast made a great book of it, imprinted at London, wherein he hath set down all, without omitting anything, and therefore at this time I do pass by it.
# Pantagruel/Chapter XXIII
## How Pantagruel departed from Paris, hearing news that the Dipsodes had invaded the land of the Amaurots; and the cause wherefore the leagues are so short in France

A little while after Pantagruel heard news that his father Gargantua had been translated into the land of the fairies by Morgue, as heretofore were Ogier and Arthur; as also, (In the original edition it stands 'together, and that.'--M.) that the report of his translation being spread abroad, the Dipsodes had issued out beyond their borders, with inroads had wasted a great part of Utopia, and at that very time had besieged the great city of the Amaurots. Whereupon departing from Paris without bidding any man farewell, for the business required diligence, he came to Rouen.
Now Pantagruel in his journey seeing that the leagues of that little territory about Paris called France were very short in regard of those of other countries, demanded the cause and reason of it from Panurge, who told him a story which Marotus of the Lac, monachus, set down in the Acts of the Kings of Canarre, saying that in old times countries were not distinguished into leagues, miles, furlongs, nor parasangs, until that King Pharamond divided them, which was done in manner as followeth. The said king chose at Paris a hundred fair, gallant, lusty, brisk young men, all resolute and bold adventurers in Cupid's duels, together with a hundred comely, pretty, handsome, lovely and well-complexioned wenches of Picardy, all which he caused to be well entertained and highly fed for the space of eight days. Then having called for them, he delivered to every one of the young men his wench, with store of money to defray their charges, and this injunction besides, to go unto divers places here and there. And wheresoever they should biscot and thrum their wenches, that, they setting a stone there, it should be accounted for a league. Thus went away those brave fellows and sprightly blades most merrily, and because they were fresh and had been at rest, they very often jummed and fanfreluched almost at every field's end, and this is the cause why the leagues about Paris are so short. But when they had gone a great way, and were now as weary as poor devils, all the oil in their lamps being almost spent, they did not chink and duffle so often, but contented themselves (I mean for the men's part) with one scurvy paltry bout in a day, and this is that which makes the leagues in Brittany, Delanes, Germany, and other more remote countries so long. Other men give other reasons for it, but this seems to me of all other the best. To which Pantagruel willingly adhered. Parting from Rouen, they arrived at Honfleur, where they took shipping, Pantagruel, Panurge, Epistemon, Eusthenes, and Carpalin.
In which place, waiting for a favourable wind, and caulking their ship, he received from a lady of Paris, which I (he) had formerly kept and entertained a good long time, a letter directed on the outside thus, --To the best beloved of the fair women, and least loyal of the valiant men --P.N.T.G.R.L.
# Notes and Queries/Series 7/Volume 5/Number 112/The Florin

​The Florin.—This is taken verbatim from the Times of Wednesday, June 15, 1887. Will you insert it in ‘N. & Q.,’ for what it is worth to numismatology?—
“In the interesting historical remarks which recently appeared in the Times on the subject of our coinage no notice was made as to the authorship of the ‘florin’ now in use. During a conversation I had with the late William Dyce, R.A., on the subject of coins—not long before he died—he remarked to me, ‘It seems little known that the “florin” was engraved from a design of mine.’—John R. Clayton.”
It would not be out of place to have recorded here the names of the designers of the Jubilee coins, much maligned, praised, and talked about, now being in course of circulation. There was an article on them in Murray’s Magazine early in its first year of publication (1887). I am astonished this fact of the florin has not before found its corner in ‘N. & Q.’ Herbert Hardy.
