# Jacob's Room/Chapter 14

XIV
"He left everything just as it was," Bonamy marvelled. "Nothing arranged. All his letters strewn about for any one to read. What did he expect? Did he think he would come back?" he mused, standing in the middle of Jacob's room.
The eighteenth century has its distinction. These houses were built, say, a hundred and fifty years ago. The rooms are shapely, the ceilings high; over the doorways a rose or a ram's skull is carved in the wood. Even the panels, painted in raspberry-coloured paint, have their distinction.
Bonamy took up a bill for a hunting-crop.
"That seems to be paid," he said.
There were Sandra's letters.
Mrs. Durrant was taking a party to Greenwich.
Lady Rocksbier hoped for the pleasure. . . .
Listless is the air in an empty room, just swelling the curtain; the flowers in the jar shift. One fibre in the wicker arm-chair creaks, though no one sits there.
Bonamy crossed to the window. Pickford's van swung down the street. The omnibuses were locked together at Mudie's corner. Engines throbbed, and carters, jamming the brakes down, pulled their horses sharp up. A harsh and unhappy voice cried something unintelligible. And then suddenly all the leaves seemed to raise themselves.
"Jacob! Jacob!" cried Bonamy, standing by the window. The leaves sank down again.
"Such confusion everywhere!" exclaimed Betty Flanders, bursting open the bedroom door.
Bonamy turned away from the window.
"What am I to do with these, Mr. Bonamy?"
She held out a pair of Jacob's old shoes.

NOTE
As this is a poem, not a history, it has seemed unnecessary to me to encumber it with notes, bibliography, and other historical apparatus. Nevertheless—besides such original sources as the Official Records, the series of articles in Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, and the letters, memoirs, and autobiographies of the various leaders involved—I should like to acknowledge my indebtedness to Channing's The War for Southern Independence and McMaster's The United States Under Lincoln's Administration, to Oswald Garrison Villard's John Brown: A Biography Fifty Years After, to the various Lives of Lincoln by Lord Charnwood, Carl Sandburg, and Ida Tarbell and the monumental work of Nicolay and Hay, to Natalie Wright Stephenson's Abraham Lincoln: An Autobiography, and, finally, my very particular debt to that remarkable first-hand account of life in the Army of the Potomac, Four Brothers in Blue, by Captain Robert Goldthwaite Carter, from which the stories of Fletcher the sharpshooter and the two brothers at Fredericksburg are taken.
In dealing with known events I have tried to cleave to historical fact where such fact was ascertainable. On the other hand, for certain thoughts and feelings attributed to historical characters, and for the interpretation of those characters in the poem, I alone must be held responsible.
The account of the defeated Union army pouring into Washington after the first Bull Run is founded on a passage in Whitman's Specimen Days and Collect.
The Black Horse Troop is an entirely imaginary organization and not to be confused with the so-called Black Horse Cavalry. In general, no fictional character in the poem is founded upon a real person, living or dead.

# Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society/Volume 10/Extracts from Journals of the Société de Géographie of Paris
## MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.

M. DE LA CROIX.
Is the Journal (No. 1 of 1883) of the Société de Géographie, of Paris, appears the following paragraph which may be of interest to some of our Members. Mr. de la Croix has recently been elected a Member of the Straits Asiatic Society.
"M. Brau de Saint-Pol Lius annonce le retour en Europe de M. de la Croix qui était retourné à Pérak où il avait abordé avec M. Brau de Saint-Pol Lias, lors de son premier voyage. Cette fois, il était accompagné d'un second ingénieur français. M. Manthès, chargé de contrôler les rapports techniques sur ses prospections. Tons deux ont remonté la rivière de Péral et celle de Quinta, nu de sus principaux affluents, jusqu'à la vallée de Lahat. M. Manthès a été frappé de la richesse minière du pays et les deux voyageurs revicunent également satisfais des résultats de leur exploration."
And in Journal No. 3. for 2nd March. 1833. there is the following passage on the same subject:—
"Il [M. Brau de Saint-Pol Lias] fait ensuite hommage à la Société du dernier numéro de la Nouvelle Prene, dans lequel il a raconté, en attendant la publica- tion d'un volume en ce moment sous presse, qualques épisodes de son voyage dans ce pays de Pérak, si vaillamment exploré surtout par son excellent ami, M. de la Croix. M. Bran de Sains-Pol Lia avait annoncé dernièrement le retour de M. de la Croix en Europ; il a le plaisir d'amoucer son retour à Paris et sa présence à la séance d'aujourd'hu."
EXPLORATIONS IN CAMBOJA.
From the same Journal, the following translation of an interesting passage has been forwarded. Our neighbours in Camboja are actively engaged in exploring the interior of that country:—
"The Governor of Cochin-China, Mons. Le Myre de Vilers, writes from Saigon, on the 20th of September, the following infor​mation, relative to the explorations which are going on in the Colony
"We are continuing the explorations, in which the Geographical Society has taken so much interest. Lieutenant Prud'homme left last Monday for Sambor on the 'Upper Mekong.' He is to take observations for the line of a tramway protected from inundation, and, at the same time, to determine the height of the banks of the river above and below the rapids.
"Lieutenant Gautier is en route for Tracona, on the frontier of Baik Thuan, in the neighbourhood of Tanbinh. He will remain in these almost unknown regions so long as his health permits him to do so, and will permanently establish himself.
"Mons. Pavie has finished placing the telegraphic posts between Prom-Penh and Battambang. The wires are fixed on the Cambogian side. We are only waiting for the Siamese to open this important line of electric communication.
"Mons. Aymonter and Captain Sorln remain at Angkor; by the last news, their health left nothing to desire.
"It is fitting here," adds the general Secretary, "to thank Mons. Le Myre de Vilers who is always so ready to help the Society."

# Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society/Volume 1/Siamese Titles
## SIAMESE TITLES.

The following note is appended to Capt. Burney's map of the Siamese Provinces (referred to at p. 57) and is no doubt in Capt. Burney's handwriting. It was probably written in 1826, when the first Treaty with Siam was framed.
It is of course as difficult to define the exact meaning of Siamese Titles, as that of many English Titles and degrees of rank.
"Chow is Lord and Master, and Chow Mooung Lord or Gover​nor of a country. The Governor General of India is styled Chow Mooung Bengala; Khun is love and gratitude, aud a Chief in conversation is styled, "Chow Khun." Than is just, so Chow Than is a title generally given to a chief. Pya, when added to the name of a country or town, sigaifics Governor, thus the Governor of Penang is styled Pya Ko Mak, or the King of Kedah Pya Mooung Serai. The Siamese name of Kedah, Mooung Serai, is taken from Kedah Peak, which they call "Khas Serai," and the Malays "Gunong Jerai" or "Cherai," "Chow Pya" may be translated into Governor General, but it is a title also annexed to high offices near the sovereign, and particularly to chiefs nearly related to the Royal Family; thus the "Kalahom" or commander in chief, and the "Chakri," or Prime Minister are called "Chow Pya." The former superintends the affairs of all Provinces to the South of Bangkok, and the latter, of all to the North of that eity; and to their affairs respectively the most minute reports are transmitted from every Province, from Singora to Cheung Mai or Zemce. The present Minister for Foreign Affairs is a Pya, "Pya Klang," and being related to the Royal Family is often styled "Chow Pya." He is said to be very friendly to the English: Prak, when annexed to a form or country, may be translated into Lieutenant Governor; "Luang" or "Chrom" to a Resident, and "Mom" or "Khom" to an officer in charge; much lower in rank "Pya," "Prak," &c., are also conferred as honorary titles on other public officers, and when annexed to a man's name appear to correspond to Baronets, Knights &c. The late Mr. Light is said to have been made a "Prak" by the King of Siam.
"Punahua," Loubere translates into "Hua" (the head) of "Phan" (Thousands); but I am told the title is derived from "Phoh," father, "No" on, "Hua" head, meaning "I bear you as my father on my head" denoting the highesc respect according to the custom of oriental nations. The Siamese generally affix the wood "Phoh," father, to the names of their chiefs. The three sons of the Chow Pya of Ligor styled "Phoh Kloom," "Phoh-Pho" and "Phoh-Sing," the last of which resembled so nearly the Malayan wood "Poosing" deceitful, that the father on establishing that son at Kedah directed him to be always called by the Malayan title "Baginda Muda," or young Prince. The Siamese name for Singapore is "Ko-mai" new Island."

# Just Folks (poem)

First poem from the 1917 eponymous collection of poems by Edgar Guest.
We're queer folks here.  We'll talk about the weather,  The good times we have had together, The good times near,  The roses buddin', an' the bees  Once more upon their nectar sprees;  The scarlet fever scare, an' who  Came mighty near not pullin' through,  An' who had light attacks, an' all  The things that int'rest, big or small; But here you'll never hear of sinnin' Or any scandal that's beginnin'. We've got too many other labors To scatter tales that harm our neighbors.
We're strange folks here.  We're tryin' to be cheerful,  An' keep this home from gettin' tearful. We hold it dear  Too dear for pettiness an' meanness,  An' nasty tales of men's uncleanness.  Here you shall come to joyous smilin',  Secure from hate an' harsh revilin';  Here, where the wood fire brightly blazes,  You'll hear from us our neighbor's praises. Here, that they'll never grow to doubt us, We keep our friends always about us; An' here, though storms outside may pelter Is refuge for our friends, an' shelter.
We've one rule here,  An' that is to be pleasant.  The folks we know are always present, Or very near.  An' though they dwell in many places,  We think we're talkin' to their faces;  An' that keeps us from only seein'  The faults in any human bein',  An' checks our tongues when they'd go trailin'  Into the mire of mortal failin'. Flaws aren't so big when folks are near you; You don't talk mean when they can hear you. An' so no scandal here is started, Because from friends we're never parted.

# Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society/Volume 2/Report of the Treasurer

​ The Hon. Treasurer's Report.
The list of Members of the Society, handed to me for the collection of the subscriptions, included 155 names, exclusive of those of four Honorary Members; but of these, two were subsequently withdrawn as having been entered through some misapprehension, the number of the subscribing members being thus reduced to 153.
On the 1st December, the whole of the subscriptions had been paid with the exception of 16, of which four have since been paid; eight are likely to be paid shortly; and four may be considered as withdrawn.
Annexed is an abstract of the cash account of the year, from which it will be seen that the Receipts amounted to $827.50 and the payments to $517.98, the transactions resulting in a balance to the credit of the Society of $309.52. The subscriptions for 1878, to be received in 1879, amounted to $72; but on the other hand one subscription, $6, was paid in 1878 in advance for 1879; and there were bills for 1878 outstanding at the end of the year to the amount of $41.60. ​The general result is shewn by the annexed statement of Assets and Liabilities, from which it will be seen that the net balance to the credit of the Society at the close of the year was $333.92.
This appears to be as satisfactory a position as could have been anticipated, but it must be borne in mind that it results from the fact that the Society, while it has received the subscriptions for the entire year, has only issued one number of the Journal, instead of the two numbers, which it is pro- posed to issue yearly in future.
The cost of the publication of the number of the Journal for July did not much fall short of $400; and though the cost of the subsequent numbers is likely to be less consider- able, the publication of the two numbers must be expected to absorb a very considerable proportion of the income of the Society, which does not appear likely much to exceed $900 a year.
