Chapter IX.—How Simon Bears His Exposure.
When Peter said this, the multitudes applauded. But Simon, being thus exposed, blushed through shame, and rubbing his forehead, said: “Well, then, do they declare that I, a magician, yea, even I who syllogize, am conquered by Peter? It is not so. But if one should syllogize, though carried away and conquered, he still retains the truth that is in him. For the weakness in the defender is not identical with the truth in the conquered man. But I assure you that I have judged all those who are bystanders worthy to know the unrevealed Father. Wherefore, because I publicly reveal him to them, you yourself, through envy, are angry with me who wish to confer a benefit on them.”

* ↑ This passage is deemed corrupt by commentators. We have made no change in the reading of the mss., except that of νενικημένην into νενικημένος, and perhaps even this is unnecessary. The last sentence means: “A man may overcome the weakness of his adversary: but he does not therefore strip him of the truth, which he possesses even when he is conquered.” The Latin translation of Cotelerius, with some emendations from later editors, yields this: “But they say that I, a magician, am not merely conquered by Peter, but reduced to straits by his reasonings. But not even though one be reduced to straits by reasonings, has he the truth which is in him conquered. For the weakness of the defender is not the truth of the conqueror.”

Chapter X.—Why Some Believe, and Others Do Not.
And after Lazarus, Joseph, who also was one of his followers, said: “You have spoken all things rightly.  Teach me also this, as I am eager to know it, why, when you give the same discourses to all, some believe and others disbelieve?” And Peter said: “It is because my discourses are not charms, so that every one that hears them must without hesitation believe them. The fact that some believe, and others do not, points out to the intelligent the freedom of the will.” And when he said this, we all blessed him.

Chapter VII.—Simon Confesses His Ignorance.
And Simon said: “I confess I have not understood what you mean by the expression, ‘You would do as they do who know.’” And Peter said: “If you have not understood it, then you cannot know the mind of every one; and if you are ignorant of this, then you do not know those who are worthy of the revelation. You are not the Son, for the Son knows. Wherefore He reveals Him to whomsoever He wishes, because they are worthy.” And Simon said: “Be not deceived. I know those who are worthy, and I am not the Son. And yet I have not understood what meaning you attach to the words, ‘He reveals Him to whomsoever He wishes.’ But I said that I did not understand it, not because I did not know it, but because I knew that those who were present did not understand it, in order that you may state it more distinctly, so that they may perceive what are the reasons why we are carrying on this discussion.” And Peter said:  “I cannot state the matter more clearly: explain what meaning you have attached to the words.” And Simon said: “There is no necessity why I should state your opinions.” And Peter said: “You evidently, Simon, do not understand it, and yet you do not wish to confess, that you may not be detected in your ignorance, and thus be proved not to be the standing Son. For you hint this, though you do not wish to state it plainly; and, indeed, I who am not a prophet, but a disciple of the true Prophet, know well from the hints you have given what your wishes are. For you, though you do not understand even what is distinctly said, wish to call yourself son in opposition to us.” And Simon said: “I will remove every pretext from you. I confess I do not understand what can be the meaning of the statement, ‘The Son reveals Him to whomsoever He wishes.’ State therefore what is its meaning more distinctly.”

Homily XX.
Chapter I.—Peter is Willing to Gratify Sophonias.
In the night-time Peter rose up and wakened us, and then sat down in his usual way, and said: “Ask me questions about anything you like.” And Sophonias was the first to begin to speak to him: “Will you explain to us who are eager to learn what is the real truth in regard to evil?” And Peter said: “I have already explained it in the course of my discussion with Simon; but because I stated the truth in regard to it in combination with other topics, it was not altogether clearly put; for many topics that seem to be of equal weight with the truth afford some kind of knowledge of the truth to the masses. So that, if now I state what I formerly stated to Simon along with many topics, do not imagine that you are not honoured with honour equal to his.” And Sophonias said: “You are right; for if you now separate it for us from many of the topics that were then discussed, you will make the truth more evident.”

Chapter XI.—Arrival of Appion and Annubion.
And as we were going to take our meals, some one ran in and said:  “Appion Pleistonices has just come with Annubion from Antioch, and he is lodging with Simon.” And my father hearing this, and rejoicing, said to Peter: “If you permit me, I shall go to salute Appion and Annubion, who have been my friends from childhood. For perchance I shall persuade Annubion to discuss genesis with Clement.” And Peter said: “I permit you, and I praise you for fulfilling the duties of a friend. But now consider how in the providence of God there come together from all quarters considerations which contribute to your full assurance, rendering the harmony complete. But I say this because the arrival of Annubion happens advantageously for you.”  And my father: “In truth, I see that this is the case.” And saying this, he went to Simon.

Chapter XII.—Faustus Appears to His Friends with the Face of Simon.
Now all of us who were with Peter asked each other questions the whole of the night, and continued awake, because of the pleasure and joy we derived from what was said. But when at length the dawn began to break, Peter, looking at me and my brothers, said: “I am puzzled to think what your father has been about.” And just as he was saying this, our father came in and caught Peter talking to us of him; and seeing him displeased, he accosted him, and rendered an apology for having slept outside.  But we were amazed when we looked at him: for we saw the form of Simon, but heard the voice of our father Faustus. And when we were fleeing from him, and abhorring him, our father was astonished at receiving such harsh and hostile treatment from us. But Peter alone saw his natural shape, and said to us: “Why do you in horror turn away from your own father?” But we and our mother said: “It is Simon that we see before us, with the voice of our father.” And Peter said: “You recognise only his voice, which is unaffected by magic; but as my eyes also are unaffected by magic, I can see his form as it really is, that he is not Simon, but your father Faustus.” Then, looking to my father, he said: “It is not your own true form that is seen by them, but that of Simon, our deadliest foe, and a most impious man.”

3.* THE MAGIC WORLD.
Strait the passage, slender, long, Reaching depths where visions throng, Sinking down, you turn your eyes Where an ice-wrought castle lies.
When from here you sink below, Twinkling shafts of colour glow; Someone's peeping eyes are seen— Adamant and moonstone sheen.
There's the snowy opal; here Budding emeralds appear. Hearken—in these castles be Flutes and lutes and dainty glee.
Whose may be the feet that don Crystal shoon you gaze upon? Ice in pillars, lustre, snow, Dainty, flaky, pearly glow.
Strait the passage, slender, long, Reaching realms where splendours throng; But to find the path you need, You must set your foot with heed.

JOSIP KOSOR.
1. THE MAGICIAN'S FLIGHT.
The ocean's magic and its scent, The salt and pearls of it, They harried and hounded me on the shore darkling, That I upraised my hands in despair, To cling to the golden glimmer of starlight. . .
Into the giant shadow of the sun I plunged, In the pallid mist I encountered the red moon, That wept above an ocean teeming with dallying angels. . . And flutteringly to us they upraised Their hands and their pinions, Through which a lily-light trickled, That made me weep my rapture into the light. . . Aloof from us the slopes were mutely in tumult, In the dim unending depths, Where time and creatures and eternity Strove with black talons, hovering above abysses. . . In wordless triumph I returned to the age-old land Where once as a glow-worm I glowed in the green thicket. . . Where I was all, Water and metal,
Tree and the worm and the storm therein. . . "Welcome, welcome!" Cried unto me the time-mother from all sides With her brown mouth, And girded me with her warm arms: "My well-beloved, eternal child!", That I shrieked and melted with bliss And ever again emerged In the countenance of all things, Till a silvery skiff from the sickle of the moon Bore me away hovering above oceans And I rocked and blissfully fared From night into night From time into time . . . Drunken with lustre and soul of the All. . .

2. THE LAST GUEST.
Midnight is long since past. Not a soul still left in the tavern, Save for the agèd host, who, close to the fireside cowering, Fingers a bulky book. Without there is deadly stillness, And delicate drizzle of rain, and heavy darkness lowering.
Then a rapping begins. To the tavern swiftly approaches An uncanny guest: on his lips a smile of horrible presage: His eyes with the hollow sockets stare round with an empty chillness. He bears a scythe in his hands. It is Death with his icy message.
Clutching the bulky book, the host is in peaceful slumber, When Death draws near to him softly, and peacefully near him lingers. And he takes in his hands a pen from the grimy tavern table And he sets his signature down with a twist of his lifeless fingers.
Then he turns to the corner; and out of the thin half-darkness Horribly grins; with its fangs tempest clumsily catches And shakes at the darkened windows, and the heavy oaken portals And shrieks through the empty tavern in gloomy and horrible snatches.

PETR BEZRUČ.
1. THE PITMAN.
I dig, under the earth I dig; Boulders glittering like the scales of a serpent I dig; Beneath Polská Ostrava I dig.
My lamp is quenched, upon my brow has fallen My hair, matted and clammy with sweat; My eyes are shot with bitterness and gall; My veins and my skull are clouded with vapour; From beneath my nails gushes forth crimson blood; Beneath Polská Ostrava I dig.
The broad hammer I smite upon the pit; At Salmovec I dig, At Rychvald I dig, and at Petřvald I dig.
Hard by Godula my wife freezes and whimpers, Famishing children weep at her bosom; I dig, under the earth I dig.
Sparks flash from the pit, sparks flash from my eyes; At Dombrová I dig, at Orlová I dig, At Poremba I dig and beneath Lazy I dig.
Above me overhead rings the clatter of hoofs, The count is riding through the hamlet, the countess with dainty hand Urges on the horses and her rosebud face is smiling.
I dig, the mattock I upraise; My wife, livid-faced, trudges to the castle, Craving for bread, when the milk has dried up in her breasts.
Good-hearted is my lord, Of yellow masonry is his castle, Beneath the castle is dinning and bursting the Ostravice. By the gates two black bitches are scowling.
Wherefore she went to the castle to pester and and beg? Grows rye on my lord's field for the drab of a pitman? At Hrušov I dig and at Michalkovice.
What will betide my sons, what will betide my daughters, On the day when they drag out my corpse from the pit? My sons shall go on digging and digging, At Karvinna digging; And my daughters,—how fares it with daughters of pitmen?
How if one day I should fling my accursed lamp into the pit, And stiffen my bended neck, Clench my left hand and stride forth and onward, And in a sweeping curve from the earth to the skyline upwards Should upraise my hammer and my flashing eyes, Yonder beneath God's sunshine!

4. THE INGLE NOOK.
Two gnarled old willows o'er the water droop, And in it wet their boughs that trail and droop; A mighty poplar guards the vale's retreat; The cooling current flows around its feet; A hazel hedge, whose tangle bars the way Shelters a maid with glowing lips,—she may Be six years old; her little feet are bare; Upon a cow she turns a blue-eyed stare, And in her sunburnt hands a grass-bunch lies, The cow has fixed her big and trusting eyes Upon the maid, and mutely thanks her thus For tufts of bird-grass and ranunculus,
And dandelion and milfoil, weedy bunches The cow, her tongue bedecked with white foam, munches. The hands now bared, the lap she searches through; In shade two dragon-flies sport, green of hue.

1. THE POPLARS.
Why are the poplars to-night so aquiver? So eerily, wildly? What betokens their sound? The sallow moon has faded long beyond the mound Distant and dark as foreboding; on the river
Gloomily plunged in silence, leaden and grey Visions have been scattered amid this dead night. The poplars alone, upreared upon the height, Rustle, rustle eerily and skyward sway.
Alone in the night by the silent water here I stand, as the last mortal. It is my shadow that Lies earthward before me. To-night I am in fear Of myself, my own shadow, and I tremble thereat.

Edition of 1900.
​CHILSON, Gardner, inventor, b. in Thompson, Conn., in 1804; d. 21 Nov., 1877. He received a public-school education, became apprentice to a cabinet-maker in Stirling, Conn., and removed to Providence, R. I., on coming of age. He went to Boston in 1837, and engaged in the manufacture of stoves and furnaces at Mansfield, Mass. As early as 1844 he devised a furnace that received a prize medal at the London world's fair in 1851. Among his numerous inventions are conical radiators, applied to stoves and furnaces (1854), a cooking-range with two ovens placed above the fire, and arranged so that either or both may be used (1858), and an office stove surmounted with a broad disk, which radiates heat toward the floor (1865).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Chi-Ah-Kin

Edition of 1900.
​CHI-AH-KIN, or AH-KIN-CHI (chee-ah-keen'), Yucatec prince, d. about 1541. He was general-in-chief of the army of Tutul Xin, king of Mani, and won a good military reputation during the war against the Spaniards, whom he defeated in several battles. When Tutul Xin submitted to the Spanish conquerors, he sent envoys to all the caciques in Yucatan, to invite them to make peace also; and for this purpose Chi-Ah-Kin and other noblemen were directed to visit King Cocóm at Zotuta, and this chief received them with apparent regard, entertaining them with a splendid hunting-party and banquet, at the end of which all the envoys were beheaded by order and in presence of Cocóm. Chi-Ah-Kin was the only one spared, in order to make him suffer what they considered the most ignominious punishment, that of cutting his eyes out and scalping him. In this condition he was taken to the Mani frontier and left there until some Indians took him before his king. He died a few months afterward. In 1599 the king of Spain gave a pension of $200 to Gaspar Chin, son of Chi-Ah-Kin and grandson of Tutul Xin.

​CHILCOTT, George Miles, senator, b. at Trough Creek, Huntingdon co., Pa., 2 Jan., 1828; d. in St. Louis, Mo., 6 March, 1891. He studied medicine for a short time, but adopted the life of a farmer and stock-raiser. He was elected sheriff of Jefferson county in 1853, removed to Nebraska in 1856, and was elected to the legislature the same year from Burt county. In 1859 he went to Denver, Col., and in 1860 settled in southern Colorado. He was a member of the constitutional convention and of the territorial legislature during the first two sessions, 1861-'2. In 1863 he was appointed register of the U. S. land-office for the Colorado district, and served four years. He was elected a representative in congress in 1865 under the state organization, but was not admitted. In 1866 he was again elected to congress as a republican, and served from 4 March, 1867, till 3 March, 1869. In 1872-'4 he was a member of the territorial council, in 1878 of the legislature, and on 11 April, 1882, was appointed U. S. senator to succeed Henry M. Teller for the term expiring in 1883.

Edition of 1900.
​CHIALIQUICHIAMA (chee-ah-lee-kee-chee-ah'-ma), Incan soldier, of quitu ethnicity b. in the latter part of the 15th century; d. at Cajamarca, Peru, in 1533. He had won five battles against the Spaniards before his king, Atahualpa, was defeated and made a prisoner by Pizarro, and had great influence among the other Indian warriors. Atahualpa, while in prison at Cajamarca, summoned Chialiquichiama to him, and the Spaniards made him a prisoner also, fearing lest he might resume hostilities. After the execution of Atahualpa, 29 Aug., 1533, Pizarro advanced with his troops toward Cuzco; but the natives attacked them several times with such spirit and discipline that they suspected Chialiquichiama was in secret communication with the Indians and directing their operations. This suspicion was enough to decide his fate, and Pizarro sentenced him to be burned alive. He was offered a less painful death if he would become a Christian; but he refused to be baptized, and died according to the sentence, remonstrating to the last moment against the injustice of his condemnation.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Chickering, Jonas

Edition of 1900.
​CHICKERING, Jonas, piano-manufacturer, b. in New Ipswich, N. H., 5 April, 1797; d. in Boston, Mass., 8 Dec., 1853. He was the son of a blacksmith, and, after receiving a common-school education, learned the trade of cabinet-making. In 1818 he went to Boston, and a year afterward became a workman in John Osborne's piano manufactory. In 1823 he began business with a partner, and subsequently carried it on alone. He associated himself in 1830 with John Mackay, a retired ship-master, and from that time imported, by the cargo, the fine woods used in the construction of piano-forte cases. In 1841 his partner was lost at sea. He gradually extended his facilities until his factory in Boston made 2,000 pianos a year. In 1852 the workshops were burned, and before the new and more spacious building, erected around a quadrangle on a lot five acres in extent, was completed, he died. He had introduced various improvements in the manufacture and construction of the piano-forte, notably the circular scale. In 1825 Alpheus Babcock, of Boston, patented a cast-iron frame for a square piano. Mr. Chickering greatly improved this frame, including in it the pin-bridge and damper socket rail. This construction he patented in 1840. At the London exhibition in 1851 he exhibited a complete frame for grand pianos in one casting. In 1853 he adopted the system of overstringing, which he combined with a metal frame of one casting, in a square piano, finished after his death by his sons. The Chickering instrument has a high reputation among musicians of all countries. After the death of Jonas Chickering, who was respected for his public spirit and benevolence not less than for his progressive enterprise, the business was continued by his three sons, who, after receiving their education in the public schools, were taken into the manufactory. — His son, Thomas Edward, b. in Boston, 22 Oct., 1824; d. there, 14 Feb., 1871, succeeded his father as head of the firm, of which he became a member when but twenty-one years of age. For many years before the war he was interested in the state militia, and in 1862 he left Boston in command of the 41st Massachusetts volunteers. The regiment was sent to New Orleans in December of that year, and performed efficient service in the field. In April, 1863, Col. Chickering was appointed military governor of Opelousas. At the close of the war he was brevetted brigadier-general.
