SHONNY SCHWARTZ.
    Haf you seen mine leedle Shonny,—
                Shonny Schwartz,
    Mit his hair so soft und yellow,
    Und his face so blump und mellow;
    Sooch a funny leedle fellow, —
                Shonny Schwartz?
    Efry mornings dot young Shonny —
                Shonny Schwartz
    Rises mit der preak off day,
    Und does his chores oup righdt avay;
    For he gan vork so vell as blay, —
                Shonny Schwartz.
    Mine Katrina says to Shonny,
                "Shonny Schwartz,
    Helb your barents all you gan,
    For dis life vas bud a shban:
    Py und py you'll been a man,
                Shonny Schwartz."
    How I lofes to see dot Shonny —

    Vhen he schgampers off to schgool,
    Vhere he alvays minds der rule!
    For he vas nopody's fool, —
                Shonny Schwartz.

    Could remain von leedle poy,

# Yawcob Strauss and Other Poems/The Young Tramp

THE YOUNG TRAMP.
    Hello, thar, stranger! Whar yer frum?
    Come in and make yerself ter hum!
    We're common folks—ain't much on style;
    Come in and stop a little while;
    'Twon't do no harm ter rest yer some.
    Youngster, yer pale, and don't look well!
    What, way frum Bosting? Naow, dew tell!
    Why, that's a hundred mile or so;
    What started yer, I'd like ter know,
    On sich a tramp; got goods ter sell?
    No home—no friends? Naow that's too bad!
    Wall, cheer up, boy, and don't be sad—
    Wife, see what yer can find ter eat,
    And put the coffee on ter heat—
    We'll fix yer up all right, my lad.
    Willing ter work, can't git a job,
    And not a penny in yer fob?
    Wall, naow, that's rough, I dew declare!
    What, tears? Come, youngster, I can't bear
    Ter see yer take on so, and sob.
    How came yer so bad off, my son?
    Father was killed? 'Sho'; whar? Bull Run?
    Why, I was in that scrimmage, lad,
    And got used up, too, pretty bad;
    I sha'n't forgit old 'sixty one!
    So yer were left in Bosting, hey?
    A baby when he went away—
    Those Bosting boys were plucky, wife,
    Yer know one of 'em saved my life,
    Else I would not be here to day.
    'Twas when the "Black Horse Cavalcade"
    Swept down upon our small brigade
    I got the shot that made me lame,
    When down on me a trooper came,
    And this 'ere chap struck up his blade.
    Poor feller! He was stricken dead;
    The trooper's sabre cleaved his head.
    Joe Billings was my comrade's name;
    He was a Bosting boy, and game!
    I almost wished I'd died instead.
    Why, lad! what makes yer tremble so?
    Your father! what, my comrade Joe?
    And you his son? Come ter my heart!
    My home is yours; I'll try, in part,
    Ter pay his boy the debt I owe.

United States Supreme Court
97 U.S. 541
Welch v. Cook
APPEAL from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.
On the 26th of June, 1873, the legislative assembly of the District of Columbia enacted that 'all property, real and personal, which may hereafter be actually employed within the limits of the District of Columbia for manufacturing purposes, shall be exempt from all general taxes for a period of ten years from the date of this act going into effect: Provided, that the value of the property so employed for manufacturing purposes shall not be less than $5,000.' Laws Dist. of Col. 126.
The fourth section of the act of Congress approved June 20, 1874 (18 Stat. 117), enacts as follows:--
'That for the support of the government of the District of Columbia, and maintaining the credit thereof, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1875, there shall be levied on all real estate in said District, except that belonging to the United States and to the District of Columbia, and that used for educational and charitable purposes, the following taxes, namely.'
Under this act the commissioners of the District assessed, for the taxes for the year ending June, 1875, certain real property of Welch within the District, which was employed for manufacturing purposes, and was of the value of $5,000.
His bill of complaint alleges that one faith of the above act of the legislative assembly he expended large sums of money in improving his said property; that, in pursuance of the said act, the commissioners exempted it from the taxes of the year ending June, 1874, but are now about to sell it for the taxes of 1875, and that these proceedings cast a cloud upon his title. He asks for a perpetual injunction to restrain the collection of these taxes, and for such other relief as may be necessary.
To this bill the defendants, who are the tax-collector and the commissioners of the District, demurred. The demurrer was sustained at the special term of the Supreme Court of the District, which action having been affirmed at the general term, Welch appealed to this court.
Mr. Philip Phillips and Mr. William A. Maury for the appellant.
Mr. Albert G. Riddle, contra.
MR. JUSTICE HUNT, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 4/Successful Conclusion of Negotiations

Successful Conclusion of Negotiations
79. When one looked back upon the barren course of the protracted infructuous negotiations in connection with the scheme embodied in the Act of 1935 it seemed an impossible task to finalise the accession of the States within a reasonable period, particularly when there was no sanction of paramountcy behind the negotiations. It is worth quoting the Sapru Committee in this connection:
80. The impending transfer of full power to a National Government having the will and the sanction of the Indian people behind it, the personal contact between the leaders of public opinion in India and the Rulers of States, rendered possible by the withdrawal of the Paramount Power's previous policy of political isolation of States and the patriotic lead given by some of the leading Princes enabled the Rulers of States to appreciate ​that it was both in the interest of Indian States and of the country that the States should become actively associated with the Dominion Government instead of holding a watching brief as it were in the deliberations of the Constituent Assembly. With their valuable assistance and co-operation and the helpful efforts of Lord Mountbatten, negotiations were concluded in a week's time and, barring Hyderabad, Kashmir and Junagadh, all the States in the geographical limits of India had acceded to the Indian Dominion by 15th August 1947.
# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 4/Significance of Constitutional Relationship between the Indian Dominion and the States

Significance of Constitutional Relationship between the Indian Dominion and the States
83. The accession of the Indian States to the Dominion of India established a new organic relationship between the States and the Government of India. The constitutional link thus forged proved strong enough to bear the stress of the upheaval through which the country had to pass and enabled the Government of India and the Governments of the States and the Provinces concerned to take concerted and co-ordinated action in relation to matters of common concern.
​84. The accession of the States to the Dominion of India was a momentous event in India's history. The full significance of this important development can be appreciated only if it is viewed against its most unpropitious background. For over half a century, the States had been a sealed book so far as the leaders of public opinion in British India were concerned. High walls of political isolation had been reared up and buttressed to prevent the infiltration of the urge for freedom and democracy into the Indian States. Disruptive tendencies had been sedulously cultivated and encouraged and proposals for not only one but several Rajasthans were in the air. There were not a few who nursed the hope that, overwhelmed by the combined weight of the partition of India and the disruption of the States, the Government of India would go under.
85. In the context of these heavy odds and handicaps, the consummation of the ideal of a federal India, comprising both the Provinces and the States, was no mean achievement. After several centuries India became welded into a constitutional entity.
# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 4/States Department

States Department
72. It was against this background that the Government of India decided to set up a Department to conduct their relations with the States in matters of common concern.
On 13th June, 1947, the Viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, invited Pandit Nehru, Sardar Patel and Acharya Kripalani (on behalf of the Congress); Mr. Jinnah, Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan, and Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar (on behalf of the Muslim League); and Sardar Baldev Singh (on behalf of the Sikhs); to attend an informal meeting to discuss the problem of the States. Sir Conrad Corfield (Political Adviser) was also present. Among the agreed conclusions reached at this meeting was the following:—
73. The above conclusion was considered, in the form of a recommendation, by the Cabinet of the Interim Government at its meeting on 25th June, 1947, and the decision of the Cabinet in that behalf was announced in the Press Communique issued on 27th June, 1947, which read:—
Sardar Nishtar was thus nominated as the Muslim League member of the Interim Government to be consulted in the working of the new department: Mr. Ikramullah was appointed Joint Secretary of it. It was intended that with effect from 15th August 1947, they would hold charge of the States Department of Pakistan.
# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 5/Centrally Merged States

Centrally Merged States
115. The number of States consolidated as Centrally Administered areas is limited. This form of integration has been adopted only in those cases in which, for administrative or strategic consideration, or for other special reasons, direct Central control over any area has been considered necessary.

# Woman of the Century/Estelle Mendell Amory

​AMORY, Mrs. Estelle Mendell, educator and author, born in Ellisburgh, Jefferson county, N. Y., 3d June, 1845. She is better known as a writer by her maiden name, Estelle Mendell. Her childhood was passed on a farm. In 1852 her family moved to Adams, a near-by village, where her father, S. J. Mendell, engaged in mercantile business. The Mendell home was a home of refinement and culture, and Colonel and Mrs. Mendell entertained many prominent persons, among whom were Henry Ward Beecher, Thomas Starr King, Edwin H. Chapin, Frederick Douglass and Gerrit Smith; and intercourse with those brilliant men and others did much to inspire the young girl with a desire to make a mark in literature. When the Civil War broke out, Mr. Mendell raised a company of soldiers, took a commission as captain and went to the South. He served throughout the war, rising to the rank of colonel by brevet. Estelle had developed meanwhile into a studious young woman, and had taught her first school. She studied in the Hungerford Collegiate Institute in her home town, and in Falley Seminary, Fulton, N. Y. In 1866 the family moved to Franklin county, Iowa. There Estelle continued to teach. In 1867 she returned to the East and re-entered Falley Seminary, from which institution she was graduated with honors in 1868. Her family—there were eight brothers and sisters—had been placed in financial straits by the war, and Estelle was obliged to earn the money, aided by some devoted friends, with which to complete her seminary course. Then followed seven years of earnest work as a teacher, she holding successively the positions of governess in a family in Chicago, and principal and preceptress of seminaries in the East. In 1875 she became the wife of J. H. Amory, of a prominent family of Binghamton, N.Y., and they went to Elgin, Ill., to live. During all those years Mrs. Amory had written much but done little in the way of publication. At length she began to offer her work. Ready acceptance encouraged her, and soon she became a regular contributor to standard periodicals. Her literary productions consist mainly of domestic articles, short stories for children, essays on living themes and ​occasional poems. Her well-known "Aunt Martha Letters," published in the Elmira "Telegram," in 1882, and later the more famous "Aunt Chatty" series in the Minneapolis "Housekeeper," have made her name a household word. Among the journals that have given her articles to the public are the "Ladies' Home Journal," "Mail and Express," "Epoch," Cincinnati "Enquirer," "Journalist," "Union Signal," "Babyhood," "Golden Days" and a score of others. In addition to her family cares and literary work, Mrs Amory has often had classes at home and in the school-room, besides classes in music. Her family consists of two children, a son and a daughter, and her home is now in Belmond, Iowa. From her mother Mrs. Amory has inherited qualities of soul and mind that have endeared her to a large circle of friends; and from her public-spirited, talented father, a broad, enthusiastic nature, that allies her actively with the advance thought and movements of the day.
