United States Supreme Court
93 U.S. 565
Western Union Telegraph Company v. Rogers
Before the act of Feb. 16, 1875 (18 Stat. 316), increasing the sum or value of the matter in dispute, necessary to give this court jurisdiction, from $2,000 to $5,000, after May 1, 1875, it was held that we had no jurisdiction in cases where the matter in dispute was $2,000, and no more, and that in determining the jurisdictional amount 'neither interest on the judgment nor costs of suit can enter into the computation.' Walker v. United States, 4 Wall. 164; Knapp v. Banks, 2 How. 73. The act of 1875 simply increases the jurisdictional amount. No other change is made in the old law. The judgment in this case was rendered May 8, 1875, for $5,000 and no more, except costs. It follows that, according to the practice established under the old law, this writ must be
Dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

# Woman of the Century/Elizabeth Martha Olmsted

​OLMSTED, Mrs. Elizabeth Martha, poet, born in Caledona, N. Y., 31st December, 1825. Her ELIZABETH MARTHA OLMSTED. ancestral stock was from Pittsfield, Mass. Her father, Oliver Allen, belonged to the family of Ethan Allen. She was educated carefully and liberally. She was a child of strong mental powers and inquiring mind. Her poetic trend was apparent in childhood, and in her youth she wrote poems of much merit. She became the wife, in February, 1853, of John R. Olmsted, of Le Roy, N. Y., and she has ever since resided in that town. The Olmsleds are descended from the first settlers of Hartford, Conn., and pioneers of the Genesee valley. Mrs. Olmsted has contributed to the New York "Independent" and other papers. During the Civil War she wrote many spirited war lyrics, among which are the well-known "Our Boys Going to the War" and "The Clarion." Her poem, "The Upas," first appeared in the "Independent" of 16th January, 1862. She has published a number of sonnets of great excellence. Her productions are characterized by moral tone, fine diction and polish.
# Woman of the Century/Elizabeth Porter Gould

​GOULD, Miss Elizabeth Porter, critic and author, born in Manchester-by-the-sea, Mass., 8th June, 1848 She is the daughter of John A. and Elizabeth C. Gould, and is descended from generations of worthy Essex county people, including the famous schoolmaster, Ezekiel Cheever. ELIZABETH PORTER GOULD. Had she never given to the public any other work than her "Gems from Walt Whitman" (Philadelphia. 1889), she would be entitled to a lasting place in the literary world. No word said of the poet has brought a deeper expression of thanks from him than the essay in the book on his life among the soldiers. Her essays on education during the past ten years have been valuable additions to the educational thought of the day. One, "John Adams as a Schoolmaster," published in pamphlet form, attracted the notice of the leading educators of die country. Through the courtesy of Charles Francis Adams, who called it a most thorough piece of his- torical work, it has been placed in the leading libraries of the land. Another, "Daniel Webster as a Schoolmaster," with other articles on that great statesman, gave her an honorary membership in the Webster Historical Society. Those on "Robert College" and "Bulgaria under Alexander," the former the only full account of that American institution on the Bosphorus ever written, brought her most complimentary words from the ex-Prince himself. Others, such as, "Friedrich Froebel." "School Life in China," "The Steele Orphanage in Chattanooga" and "The Woman ​Problem," have become authority on those subjects. The versatility of Miss Gould's mind, as well as her conscientious research, are seen in articles published in the Chicago '"Law Times," the New York "Critic," "Literary World." "Independent." "Christian Union." "New England Magazine," "Woman's Journal," and other periodicals. Her article in the "Century," in 1880, on Pundita Ramabai, was but an outline of the lecture which, with those on Abigail Adams, Hannah Adams, Mary Somerville and Caroline Herschel, has brought her as an interesting lecturer before the chief woman's clubs in Boston and vicinity. Besides having inspired clubs in the city of her long residence, Chelsea, Mass., she has been, and still is, an intellectual power among the society women of Boston, Brookline, Newton and other places, by her "Talks on Current Events." Besides her unique work in private circles, Miss Gould, as an officer in philanthropic organizations in Boston and Chelsea, has struck important chords for more efficient work, especially in the line of reform. Her brochure, " How I became a Woman Suffragist," is a book of personal experience. She has written poetry, a volume of her verse, "Stray Pebbles from the Shores of Thought" < Boston, 1892), having been recently published. She has a novel ready for the press.
# Woman of the Century/Elizabeth Otis Dannelly

C., and from that city she entered the Madison Female College, Madison, Ga., from which institution she was graduated 26th July, 1855. Immediately after receiving her diploma, Miss Otis went to New York City, where one year was spent in studying painting. Her father in the meantime had moved from Savannah to Madison, where she became the wife, 4th September, 1862, of Dr. F. Olin Dannelly, the son of Rev.

Shortly after, he was ordered to Columbia, S. C., where they continued to reside until the close of the war. About that time Mrs. Dannelly wrote her famous poem, "The Burning of Columbia," which was especially prized in the South and added to the popularity of her volume of poems, "Cactus, or Thorns and Blossoms" (New York, 1879). Soon after the close of the war Dr. Dannelly removed to Baltimore, Md., where he resumed the practice of medicine, in which profession he had attained distinction. During the years of her residence in Baltimore Mrs. Dannelly occupied a leading social position. She was a frequent contributor to many of the leading periodicals and magazines of that day. After living five years in that city, the family removed to Texas, ​where they settled in Waxahachie. After a few years in Texas, they returned to Baltimore, where Dr. Dannelly died.

He led them by a right way by John Newton
    When Israel was from Egypt freed,
    The LORD, who brought them out,
    Helped them in every time of need,
    But led them round about.
    To enter Canaan soon they hoped,
    But quickly changed their mind;
    When the Red Sea their passage stopped,
    And Pharaoh marched behind.
    The desert filled them with alarms,
    For water and for food;
    And Amalek, by force of arms,
    To check their progress stood.
    They often murmured by the way,
    Because they judged by sight;
    But were at length constrained to say,
    The Lord had led them right.
    In the Red Sea that stopped them first,
    Their enemies were drowned;
    The rocks gave water for their thirst,
    And Manna spread the ground.
    By fire and cloud their way was shown,
    Across the pathless sands;
    And Amalek was overthrown,
    By Moses' lifted hands.
    The way was right their hearts to prove,
    To make GOD'S glory known;
    And show his wisdom, pow'r and love,
    Engaged to save his own.
    Just so the true believer's path
    Through many dangers lies;
    Though dark to sense, 'tis right to faith,
    And leads us to the skies.

The golden calf by John Newton
    When Israel heard the fiery law,
    From Sinai's top proclaimed;
    Their hearts seemed full of holy awe,
    Their stubborn spirits tamed.
    Yet, as forgetting all they knew,
    Ere forty days were past;
    With blazing Sinai still in view,
    A molten calf they cast.
    Yea, Aaron, God's anointed priest,
    Who on the mount had been
    He durst prepare the idol-beast,
    And lead them on to sin.
    LORD, what is man! and what are we,
    To recompense thee thus!
    In their offence our own we see,
    Their story points at us.
    From Sinai we have heard thee speak,
    And from mount Calv'ry too;
    And yet to idols oft we seek,
    While thou art in our view.
    Some golden calf, or golden dream,
    Some fancied creature-good,
    Presumes to share the heart with him,
    Who bought the whole with blood.
    LORD, save us from our golden calves,
    Our sin with grief we own;
    We would no more be thine by halves,
    But live to thee alone.
