After entering upon a business career he became interested in private theatricals, and adopted the profession of the stage in 1878. Succeeding in this, he assumed the management of the Haymarket Theatre in 1887, and became one of the most conspicuous of the actor-managers of recent times. After 1897 he played in his own theatre, Her Majesty's, one of the best constructed of
London playhouses. He possessed great versatility, and played parts ranging from Hamlet to Falstaff. Tree achieved an early success in ‘The Private Secretary’ (1884). This was followed by Macari in ‘Called Back,’ and by the pan of the Russian Spy in ‘The Red Lamp’ (1887). In eccentric character parts he essayed the leading roles in ‘The Ballad-Monger’ and in ‘Trilby.’ In modern social drama he appeared in ‘A Bunch of Violets,’ ‘Captain Swift,’ ‘A Woman of No Importance,’ ‘John-a-Dreams,’ ‘The Dancing Girl’ and ‘The Tempter’; while of Shakespearean plays he produced ‘Merry Wives of Windsor,’ ‘Hamlet,’ ‘Henry IV’ and ‘The Taming of the Shrew.’ Stephen Phillips' ‘Herod’ was written for him. His publications include ‘The Imaginative Faculty,’ delivered as a lecture before the Royal Institution (1893); and other lectures on ‘Hamlet from an Actor's Prompt Book’; ‘Henry VIII and His Court’; ‘Thoughts and Afterthoughts’ (1913); ‘Nothing Matters’ (1916), etc. He received the honor of knighthood in 1909.

WEIR, Julian Alden, American artist, son of R. W. Weir (q.v.): b. West Point, N. Y., 30 Aug. 1852; d. New York, 8 Dec. 1919. He studied with his father and at Paris with Gérôme, became a member of the Society of American Artists in 1877 and a National Academician in 1886. Mr. Weir was one of the founders of the Society of American Artists, the first organization to rebel at all effectively against the Academy. These societies were later united and Mr. Weir at once refused the presidency of the Association of American Painters and Sculptors because it was in opposition to the Academy. He painted many kinds of pictures, subjects, still life, portraits, figures, landscapes. In his later career he was identified with the Impressionist School. Examples are to be found in the Luxembourg, Paris, and in nearly every important art museum in the United States, including the National Gallery, Washington, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Albright Gallery, Buffalo, the Pennsylvania Academy, Philadelphia, and the Brooklyn Institute. ‘Breton Interior’ obtained a second-class medal at the Paris Exposition of 1889. His ‘Idle Hours,’ now in the New York Metropolitan Museum, received the $2,000 prize of the American Art Association. In the same gallery are ‘The Red Bridge’ and ‘The Green Bodice,’ the latter one of Weir's masterpieces. Weir's long career as an artist was marked by independence and naturalness. It was only after repeated experiments that he achieved the general recognition which the reticent, refined, and distinguished style of his maturity deserved.

QUINCE.
Prus Cydònia.—Coignassier, Fr.—Quittenbaum, Ger.
The Quince is supposed to be the Golden Apples of the ancients. It is a native of Austria, and is believed to have been cultivated in Britain three hundred years. Pliny writes, in his time, of their growing wild in hedge-rows, so large as to weigh down the boughs to the ground. Moderns use it only after being stewed, baked, or preserved. Quince marmalade is a favorite conserve, and Quince wine has been known to cure obstinate asthmatic complaints. There are only two varieties and a species that are worth notice.
Apple, or Orange Quince.—The fruit large, of a round-oval shape; skin very smooth; color, when ripe, a bright golden- yellow. A clean growing tree and a great bearer. Ripe in September and October.
Portugal Quince.—Fruit round, large size; color bright yellow. A strong-growing tree and bears a fair crop. This variety is used as stocks on which to bud or graft Pears; they fruit earlier upon it, and are much dwarfed by the process. It is a very general practice with the French, and for small gardens may be done to advantage in this country, but will not do for orchards.
Pyrus Sinensis, or Chinese Quince.—Shrub of upright growth, with pink flowers. Fruit very large, long-oval, smooth and regularly formed; color greenish-yellow. Flesh firm, ​rather dry. Ripe about the end of October. A beautiful preserve, of a bright pink color, can be made from the fruit. A specimen before me is really beautiful.
Propagation.—This is readily accomplished by layers or cuttings, as they root in either way very freely. Lay down the shoots early in Spring, or during the mild Winter months, and they will be rooted by the following November, when they can be planted out into rows till they are strong enough to be removed to the orchard. Cuttings taken off the old plants of the past year’s wood, or even wood of two years old, cut into lengths of about eight inches and planted into moist ground, will root the first year and soon attain to be good plants.
Soil.—A heavy, loamy soil, is said to be the best for the Quince. This is not borne out by results. The finest fruit I have ever seen is grown on deep, sandy loam, manured every season. If they are not well cultivated, they get knotty and deformed, producing fruit of like character.
Pruning.—Very little assistance is required from the knife, unless to give a direction to the formation of the tree, and for sbortening any shoots that extend beyond the regular bounds.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Pumpkin

Layout 2
PUMPKIN, OR POMPION.
Cucúrbita, var.—Courge, Fr.—Kürbis, Ger.
We cannot think of admitting this vegetable into the precincts of a garden where there are Melons, Cucumbers, and other kindred plants. It would mix with and contaminate the quality of the more valuable sorts. If, however, there is an opportunity to plant a few in the field, among the Corn, we would recommend among the many sorts, the Cashaw, as being the best. There is a variety of a very coarse nature cultivated in the field, called the Mammoth, which frequently attains the enormous weight of two hundred and fifty pounds, and is only fit for pigs or cattle.
# The Family Kitchen Gardener (1856)/Rosemary

Layout 2
ROSEMARY.
Rosemarìnus officinàlis.—Romarin, Fr.—Rosmarin, Ger.
A native of the south of Europe, the Levant, and found occasionally in the Grecian isles. It is propagated from the seed, or by planting slips or cuttings in the early Spring months. Rosemary has a fragrant aromatic smell, and a warm, pungent taste; the leaves and tender, tops are the strongest; the flowers, by themselves, are much weaker but more agreeable. This herb is reckoned one of the most powerful of those plants which stimulate and corroborate the nervous system; it has, therefore, been recommended in various affections supposed to proceed from debilities. It is generally given in the form of an infusion.

United States Supreme Court
79 U.S. 136
The Eutaw
MOTION to dismiss an appeal; the case being thus:
In March, 1867, Harris, Howell & Co. libelled the steamer Eutaw, in the District Court at New York, for repairs, supplies, advances, and labor and services to the vessel, at Wilmington, N. C. The answer denied generally the allegations of the libel. A reference was made by consent to a master to ascertain and report the amount due; 'the same proof of the payment and propriety of payment of bills to be made as if before the court.' The master, after admissions or proofs heard, found $4140.94; one item of this sum being $1000 for 'commissions at 2 1/2 per cent.,' and this item being allowed on an allegation of a custom of maritime countries, and of which, as prevalent at Wilmington, specific proofs were given or attempted, in the shape of affidavits from commission merchants of that place, and otherwise in more formal shape. This item, unlike most of the charges, was apparently not admitted, though it was not attempted specifically to be dis-proved, it being left to be judged of on the record and the law. The respondents not excepting, so far as the record seemed to show, to this item of $1000, or to any other item found in the report, nor moving any correction nor objecting to confirmation, the report was confirmed in May, 1868, by the District Court. From that decree the respondents appealed in about two years afterwards (March 19th, 1870), to the Circuit Court, assigning error in a general allegation, 'that the said decree is erroneous inasmuch as the said libellants were not entitled to the damages claimed in the premises;' and in the prayer for an appeal stating that on the appeal the appellant 'intended to make new allegations and introduce the same and new and further proofs.' In the Circuit Court, no new allegations being made of record, nor further proofs introduced, the case was argued and taken into advisement. As was said in the briefs of one side, and not contradicted in those of the other, the court on one hearing (before Nelson, J.), set aside the report or decree, though afterwards, on reargument (before Woodruff, J.), affirmed it. Nothing of this difference of view between the judges appeared on the record.

# The Eve of Election

From gold to gray Our mild sweet day Of Indian summer fades to soon; But tenderly Above the sea Hangs, white and calm, the hunter's moon.
In its pale fire The village spire Shows like the zodiac's spectral lance; The painted walls Whereon it falls Transfigured stand in marble trance!
O'er fallen leaves The west-wind grieves, Yet comes a seed-time round again; And morn shall see The State sown free With baleful tares or healthful grain.
Along the street The shadows meet Of destiny, whose hands conceal The moulds of fate That shape the State And make or mar the common weal.
Around I see The powers that be; I stand by Empires's primal springs; And prices meet, In every street, And hear the tread of uncrowned kings!
Hark! through the crowd The laugh runs loud, Beneath the sad, rebuking moon. God save the land A careless hand May shake or swerve ere morrow's noon!
No jest is this; One cast amiss May blast the hope of Freedom's year Oh, take me where Are hearts of prayer, And foreheads bowed in reverent hear!
Not lightly fall Beyond recall The written scrolls a breath can float; The crowning fact The kingliest act Of Freedom, is the freeman's vote!
For pearls that gem A diadem The diver in the deep sea dies; The regal right We boast to-night Is ours through costlier sacrifice;
The blood of Vane His prison pain Who traced the path the Pilgrim trod; And hers whose faith Drew strength from death, And prayed her Russel up to God!
Our hearts grow cold, We lightly hold A right which brave men died to gain: The stake, the cord, The axe, the sword, Grim nurses at the birth of pain.
The shadow rend, And o'er us bend, O martyrs, with your crowns and palms; -- Breathe through these throngs Your battle songs, Your scaffold prayers, and dungeon psalms!
Look from the sky, Like God's great eye, Thou solemn noon, with searching beam, Till in the sight Of thy pure light Our mean self-seekings meaner seem.
Shame from our hearts Unworthy arts, The fraud designed, the purpose dark; And smite away The hands we lay Profanely on the sacred ark.
To party claims And private aims, Reveal that august face of Truth, Whereto are given The age of heaven, The beauty of immortal youth.
So shall our voice Of sovereign choice Swell the deep bass of duty done, And strike the key Of time to be, When God and man shall speak as one!
