LADY CLARA VERE DE VERE'S REPLY
Thomas Nehemiah Briggs,
You write as though most strangely vexed,
But I am at a loss to know
With what offences I am taxed:
"I smiled, but you were unbeguiled"—
But where's the snare a smile discovers?
Upon a man a maid may smile
Surely, although they are not lovers?
Thomas Nehemiah Briggs,
Your own conceit led you astray,
You twisted civil words I said
To sweet ones such as lovers say:
What you would hide I soon espied,
Your snobbishness and self-conceit,
Your foolish vanity and pride—
And treated you as it was meet.
Thomas Nehemiah Briggs,
A woman loves a man although
He may be but of humble birth,
But you—tut, tut, too well I know
You're but the shadow of a man,
With shallow brain and half a heart,
Too weak and vain for life's campaign,
A true King Arthur's counterpart:
Not Mallory's hero, stern and rough,
But that insufferable bore,
That preaching, plaster, bloodless saint,
Anæmic girls so much adore:
That simulacrum stuffed with bran,
Whom Tennyson (so much a bard
He was so much the less a man,)
Most sadly in the making marred.
Thomas Nehemiah Briggs,
Is't possible the grapes were sour,
Which reached, you'd quickly said Goodbye
To your sweet maiden in her flower?
Why all this heat and fury if
Your self-love had not felt a wound?
You seek to hide a blow to pride,
Or why so angry and untuned?
Trust me, Nehemiah Briggs,
You know naught of a woman's soul,
Which, light and fickle though it seem,
A true man always can control:
She gives herself without reserve
When once her true lord she discovers,
But 'tis not such as you deserve
To be her favoured friends or lovers.

# Select British Eloquence/Mr. Pulteney

This is Chauncey A. Goodrich's biographical sketch of William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath, which serves as an introduction to his speech, which follows. It forms a part of Select British Eloquence, published 1865.
William Pulteney, first Earl of Bath, was born in 1682. He was elected a member of Parliament in early life, and applied himself to the diligent study of the temper of the House, and the best mode of speaking in so mixed and discordant an assembly. He made no attempts to dazzle by any elaborate display of eloquence; for it was his maxim, that "there are few real orators who commence with set speeches." His powers were slowly developed. He took part in almost every important debate, more (at first) for his own improvement than with any expectation of materially changing the vote. He thus gradually rose into one of the most dexterous and effective speakers of the British Senate.
His speeches, unfortunately, have been worse reported, in respect to the peculiar characteristics of his eloquence, than those of any of his contemporaries. The following one, however, though shorter than might be wished, is undoubtedly a fair specimen of the bold, direct, and confident, though not overbearing manner, in which he ordinarily addressed himself to the judgment and feelings of the House. The language is uncommonly easy, pointed, and vigorous. The sentences flow lightly off in a clear and varied sequence, without the slightest appearance of stateliness or mannerism. It is the exact style for that conversational mode of discussion which is best adapted to the purposes of debate.
Walpole, when displaced by the exertions of Pulteney in 1742, had the satisfaction of dragging down his adversary along with him. He saw that the Opposition must go to pieces the moment they were left to themselves; that a new administration could never be framed out of such discordant materials; and that whoever should undertake it would be ruined in the attempt. He therefore induced the King to lay that duty upon Pulteney. The result was just what he expected. The King insisted on retaining a large proportion of Walpole's friends. Comparatively few offices remained for others, and both Whigs and Tories were disappointed and enraged. Pulteney shrunk from taking office himself, under these circumstances. He professed great disinterestedness; he had no desire for power; he would merely accept a peerage, which all parties regarded as the reward of his perfidy. He was created Earl of Bath; and the name of Patriot, as Horace Walpole tells us, became a term of derision and contempt throughout all the kingdom. When the newly-created earls met for the first time in the House of Lords, Walpole walked up to Pulteney, and said to him, with a mixture of pleasantry and bitterness, for which he was always distinguished, "Here we are, my Lord, the two most insignificant fellows in England." Pulteney died on the 8th of June, 1764.

It was argued by Mr. Coxe and Mr. Webb for the appellant, and by Mr. Bradley for the appellees.
As this was a case depending entirely upon testimony, where no general principle of equity jurisprudence was involved, the arguments drawn from that testimony are omitted.

# Rothschild v. United States

United States Supreme Court
179 U.S. 463
Rothschild v. United States
Argued: October 31 and November 1, 1900. --- Decided: December 17, 1900
This case is here on certificate of the Court of Appeals of the second circuit. The case went to that court by appeal from the circuit court for the southern district of New York, which reversed a decision of the board of general appraisers. 87 Fed. Rep. 798.
The statement of facts made by the circuit court of appeals is as follows:
'The appellant imported from San Domingo into the port of New York in September, 1897, certain bales of unstemmed leaf tobacco, the product of San Domingo, in which bales there was mixed or packed with filler tobacco less than 4 per centum of leaves suitable for wrappers. The collector of the port assessed duty upon the leaves of filler tobacco in each bale at the rate of 35 cents per pound, and upon the leaves suitable for wrapper at $1.85 per pound, assuming to do so conformably with the provisions of the tariff act of July 24, 1897 (schedule F, 213, 214), imposing duty on wrapper and filler tobacco as follows: 'Par. 213. Wrapper tobacco and filler tobacco when mixed or packed with more than fifteen per centum of wrapper tobacco, and all leaf tobacco the product of two or more countries or dependencies, when mixed or packed together, if unstemmed, one dollar and eighty-five cents per pound; if stemmed, two dollars and fifty cents per pound; filler tobacco not specially provided for in this act, if unstemmed, thirty-five cents per pound; if stemmed, fifty cents per pound. Par. 214. The term wrapper tobacco as used in this act means that quality of leaf tobacco which is suitable for cigar wrappers, and the term filler tobacco means all other leaf tobacco."
The following questions are propounded:
'1. Is it the meaning of the tariff act of July 24, 1897, to subject to different rates of duty the leaves of tobacco suitable for cigar wrappers and those not suitable when mixed in the same commercial bale or package?
'2. Is it the meaning of said act to subject to the duty of $1.85 per pound the leaves of tobacco suitable for cigar wrappers intermingled in the bales or packages of tobacco (unstemmed) of the description which, in their entirety at the date of the enactment, were commercially known in this country as 'filler tobacco,' and bought and sold by that name, notwithstanding such leaves constitute less than 15 per centum of the contents?'
Messrs. E. R. Gunby and H. J. Cookinham for appellants.
Mr. John S. Wise for appellee.
Mr. Justice McKenna delivered the opinion of the court:

# Seven Scotch songs/The Last Breathings of Napoleon

THE LAST BREATHINGS OF NAPOLEON.
Sequester’d here, afar from fame, And hope’s enchanting smile, I spend in wo, life ebbing slow, On this remote, secluded isle. Where all I spy is sea or sky Round this horrific steep, And nought I hear but howlings drear, From off the foaming deep.
O lovely Seine, thy banks so green, Alas! no more I’ll tread, No happy morn, to me forlorn, Can bring the happy scenes now fled. Thy glades and groves where pleasures rove, I bade a last adieu, When fortune’s star, my doom, by war, Resolv’d at Waterloo.
No pleasure brings the blazing sun, Tho’ in the glow of day, Nor solemn night, star-spangl’d bright, Can drive my exile-grief away. Contention’s fate I've seen too late, And grandeur’s luring glare, So here my doom is endless gloom, With sullen, grim despair.
No more again on hill or plain To me shall ranks appear; Nor blazing steel e’er more shall reel, In charge of bayonet or spear.
​Keen ruin's blast, my fate at last, Hath driv'n me far from joy, Fate, take my life, but spare my wife, And harmless, darling boy.
