United States Supreme Court
118 U.S. 228
Johnson v. Wilkins
Argued: May 10, 1886. ---
This case was submitted under rule 20, on the seventh of January last; but, on looking into the record, we found nothing from which it could fairly be inferred that the value of the matter in dispute exceeded $5,000, and consequently, on the nineteenth of January, entered an order of dismissal, on our own motion; as it rested 'on the plaintiffs in error to show our jurisdiction, either from the record or by affidavits,' and this had not been done. The present motion was not filed until April 26th, and we are not willing, at this late day, to receive and consider affidavits to supply a defect in the record which has existed since the case was docketed on the eleventh of August, 1883, and of which the appellants have neglected to take any notice until the expiration of more than three months from the time the court acted upon it, and entered an order of dismissal on that account. This is one of the class of cases in which the parties are required to act promptly, after they have actual notice of what is required of them, or they will not be heard.
The motion to reinstate is denied.

Johnson v. Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458 (1938), was a United States Supreme Court case, in which the petitioner, Johnson, had been convicted in federal court of feloniously possessing, uttering, and passing counterfeit money in a trial where he had not been represented by an attorney but instead by himself. Johnson filed for habeas corpus relief, claiming that his Sixth Amendment right to counsel had been violated, but he was denied by both a federal district court and the court of appeals.

United States Supreme Court
118 U.S. 19
Johnston v. District of Columbia
Argued: April 19, 1886. ---
This was an action against the District of Columbia by a citizen and taxpayer in Washington to recover damages caused to his house and land fronting on Missouri avenue, in the summer of 1877, by the overflow of foul water from a sewer in that avenue, which the declaration alleged that the defendant knowingly constructed and continued upon an unreasonable and defective plan, and of inadequate capacity for its purpose, and wrongfully permitted to become choked up. The defendant denied its liability. The plaintiff's bill of exceptions stated that he testified that at the time alleged his house and land were overflowed and injured by foul water from this sewer; that he noticed that the water in the avenue was very deep; and that he never saw or knew of any flooding or overflow of the avenue or of his property until the sewer was constructed. The rest of the bill of exceptions was as follows: 'And to sustain further the issues joined, the plaintiff put upon the stand, as his witness, Benjamin Severson, a citizen of Washington, and an engineer by profession, who testified to the Tiber sewer being two feet lower at its base than the Missouri-avenue sewer where they meet each other; and being asked by the counsel for the plaintiff what, in his opinion, the consequence would be in case of a freshet or great fall of rain, the question was objected to by the counsel of the defendant unless the counsel for the plaintiff stated his object in asking such question; and thereupon it appeared that it was asked with the view of showing by that witness that the plan on which the sewer had been constructed by the authorities of the District had not been judiciously selected; and thereupon the testimony was objected to, and the court, after argument, sustained the objection, to which ruling the plaintiff's counsel excepted.' The jury returned a verdict for the defendant, the exceptions were overruled by the court in general term, and the plaintiff sued out this writ of error.
Frank T. Browning, for plaintiff in error.
A. G. Riddle and H. E. Davis, for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice GRAY, after stating the case as above reported, delivered the opinion of the court.

# Knickerbocker's History of New York/Book IV/Introduction
## Introduction

The playful devices by which attention was directed to the coming publication of the History of Diedrich Knickerbocker are represented in the author's opening to the first volume. Irving joined afterward in business as a sleeping partner, visited England in 1815, and, while cordially welcomed here by Thomas Campbell, Walter Scott, and others, the failure of his brother's business obliged him to make writing his profession. The publishers at first refused to take one of the most charming of his works, the "Sketch Book"; but John Murray yielded at last to the influence of Walter Scott, and paid £200 for the copyright of it, a sum afterward increased to £400. "Bracebridge Hall" and the "Tales of a Traveler" followed. Irving went to Spain with the American Ambassador to translate documents and acquire experience which he used afterward in successive books. "The Life and Voyages of Columbus" appeared in 1828, and was followed by "Voyages of the Companions of Columbus."
In 1829 Washington Irving came again to England, this time as Secretary to the American Legation. He published the "Conquest of Granada." In 1831 he received the honorary degree of LL.D. from the University of Oxford. Then he returned to America, published in 1832 "The Alhambra;" in 1835 "Legends of the Conquest of Spain." In 1842 he went again to Spain, this time as American Minister. Other works were produced, and at the close of his life he achieved his early ambition, by writing a Life of Washington, after whom he had been named, and who had laid his hand upon his head and blessed him when he was a child of five. Although the first of the five volumes of the Life of Washington did not appear until he was more than seventy years old, he lived to complete his work, and died on the 28th of November, 1859. Washington Irving never married. He had loved in his early years a daughter of his friend Mrs. Hoffman, had sat by her death-bed when she was a girl of seventeen, and waited until his own death restored her to him.

# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Garden Seat

THE GARDEN SEAT
ITS former green is blue and thin, And its once firm legs sink in and in; Soon it will break down unaware, Soon it will break down unaware.
At night when reddest flowers are black Those who once sat thereon come back; Quite a row of them sitting there, Quite a row of them sitting there.
With them the seat does not break down, Nor winter freeze them, nor floods drown, For they are as light as upper air, They are as light as upper air!
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Old Gown

THE OLD GOWN
(SONG)
I HAVE seen her in gowns the brightest, Of azure, green, and red, And in the simplest, whitest, Muslined from heel to head; I have watched her walking, riding, Shade-flecked by a leafy tree, Or in fixed thought abiding By the foam-fingered sea.
In woodlands I have known her, When boughs were mourning loud, In the rain-reek she has shown her Wild-haired and watery-browed. And once or twice she has cast me As she pomped along the street Court-clad, ere quite she had passed me, A glance from her chariot-seat.
But in my memoried passion For evermore stands she In the gown of fading fashion She wore that night when we, Doomed long to part, assembled In the snug small room; yea, when She sang with lips that trembled, "Shall I see his face again?”
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Rift

THE RIFT
(Song: Minor Mode)
'TWAS just at gnat and cobweb-time, When yellow begins to show in the leaf, That your old gamut changed its chime From those true tones—of span so brief!— That met my beats of joy, of grief, As rhyme meets rhyme.
So sank I from my high sublime! We faced but chancewise after that, And never I knew or guessed my crime. . . . Yes; 'twas the date—or nigh thereat— Of the yellowing leaf; at moth and gnat And cobweb-time.
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Strange House

THE STRANGE HOUSE
(MAX GATE, A.D. 2000)
"I HEAR the piano playing— Just as a ghost might play." "—O, but what are you saying? There's no piano to-day; Their old one was sold and broken; Years past it went amiss." "—I heard it, or shouldn't have spoken: A strange house, this!
“I catch some undertone here, From some one out of sight." "—Impossible; we are alone here, And shall be through the night." “—The parlour-door—what stirred it?" "—No one: no soul's in range." "—But, anyhow, I heard it, And it seems strange!
"Seek my own room I cannot— A figure is on the stair!" "—What figure? Nay, I scan not Any one lingering there. A bough outside is waving, And that's its shade by the moon." "—Well, all is strange! I am craving Strength to leave soon."
"—Ah, maybe you've some vision Of showings beyond our sphere; Some sight, sense, intuition Of what once happened here? The house is old; they've hinted It once held two love-thralls, And they may have imprinted Their dreams on its walls?
"They were—I think 'twas told me— Queer in their works and ways; The teller would often hold me With weird tales of those days. Some folk can not abide here, But we—we do not care Who loved, laughed, wept, or died here, Knew joy, or despair."
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Fallow Deer at the Lonely House

THE FALLOW DEER AT THE LONELY HOUSE
ONE without looks in to-night Through the curtain-chink From the sheet of glistening white; One without looks in to-night As we sit and think By the fender-brink.
We do not discern those eyes Watching in the snow; Lit by lamps of rosy dyes We do not discern those eyes Wondering, aglow, Fourfooted, tiptoe.
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Singing Woman

THE SINGING WOMAN
THERE was a singing woman Came riding across the mead At the time of the mild May weather, Tameless, tireless; This song she sung: "I am fair, I am young!" And many turned to heed.
And the same singing woman Sat crooning in her need At the time of the winter weather; Friendless, fireless, She sang this song: "Life, thou'rt too long!" And there was none to heed.
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Maid of Keinton Mandeville

THE MAID OF KEINTON MANDEVILLE
(A TRIBUTE TO SIR H. BISHOP)
I HEAR that maiden still Of Keinton Mandeville Singing, in fights that played As wind-wafts through us all, Till they made our mood a thrall To their aery rise and fall, "Should he upbraid."
Rose-necked, in sky-gray gown, From a stage in Stower Town Did she sing, and singing smile As she blent that dexterous voice With the ditty of her choice, And banished our annoys Thereawhile.
One with such song had power To wing the heaviest hour Of him who housed with her. Who did I never knew When her spoused estate ondrew, And her warble flung its woo In his ear.
Ah, she's a beldame now, Time-trenched on cheek and brow, Whom I once heard as a maid From Keinton Mandeville Of matchless scope and skill Sing, with smile and swell and trill, "Should he upbraid!"
1915 or 1916.
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Selfsame Song

THE SELFSAME SONG
A BIRD bills the selfsame song, With never a fault in its flow, That we listened to here those long Long years ago.
A pleasing marvel is how A strain of such rapturous rote Should have gone on thus till now Unchanged in a note!
—But it's not the selfsame bird.— No: perished to dust is he. . . . As also are those who heard That song with me.
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Little Old Table

THE LITTLE OLD TABLE
CREAK, little wood thin, creak, When I touch you with elbow or knee; That is the way you speak Of one who gave you to me!
You, little table, she brought— Brought me with her own hand, As she looked at me with a thought That I did not understand.
—Whoever owns it anon, And hears it, will never know What a history hangs upon This creak from long ago.
# Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses/The Opportunity

THE OPPORTUNITY
(for h. p.)
FORTY springs back, I recall, We met at this phase of the Maytime: We might have clung close through all, But we pated when died that daytime.
We parted with smallest regret; Perhaps should have cared but slightly, Just then, if we never had met: Strange, strange that we lived so lightly!
Had we mused a little space At that critical date in the Maytime, One life had been ours, one place, Perhaps, till our long cold claytime.
—This is a bitter thing For thee, O man: what ails it? The tide of chance may bring Its offer; but nought avails it!

# Latter Day Saints' Messenger and Advocate/Volume 2/Number 5/Notice from Warren A. Cowdery (March 7, 1836)

NOTICE
Is hereby given to all whom it may concern, that Messrs. T B. Marsh and others, denominated the "Twelve" while on their mission to the East, last season, received a letter from the Presidency of the church in which they were censured for neglecting to teach the Church in Freedom Cattaraugus County N. Y., the necessity of contributing of their earthly substance for the building of the House of the Lord in this place. The rebuke from the Presidency, (as the undersigned has been informed) was predicated upon a letter addressed by him, to the Presidents or some one of them, stating that they, the Twelve taught no such thing. The undersigned although actuated by the purest motives at the time he wrote believing he had stated nothing but the truth, has since become satisfied from the best of evidence, that, that particular item in their instructions was not omitted as he had represented, he, therefore, most deeply regrets it, being sensible as he now is, that he was the cause (although innocent) of wounding the best of feelings, and depressing spirits buoyant with hope, while in a field of useful labor at a distance from home.

November 19, 2021
The Honorable Patrick Leahy President Pro Tempore United States Senate Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Leahy:
Today I will undergo a routine medical procedure requiring sedation. In view of present circumstances, I have determined to transfer temporarily the powers and duties of the office of President of the United States to the Vice President during the brief period of the procedure and recovery.
In accordance with the provisions of section 3 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, this letter shall constitute my written declaration that I am presently unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office of the President of the United States. Pursuant to section 3, the Vice President shall discharge those powers and duties as Acting President until I transmit to you a written declaration that I am able to resume the discharge of those powers and duties.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir
If the electric telegraph should succeed it will be one of the most striking novelties of this inventive age — and I should have been most happy to have been present at the experiment, to which you were so good as to invite me, if I had been nearer London. But anxious to make the most of my time here in recruiting my strength for the incessant labour of my office I thought it most prudent to deny myself that gratification. I am however not the less sensible of your flattering kindness in recollecting, Dear Sir.
Yours very faithfully F. Beaufort
