# The New International Encyclopædia/Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Die

Edition of 1905. See also Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG, nụrn'bĕrK, Die. A musical comedy in three acts by Richard Wagner; first produced in Munich, June 21, 1868. The scene of the play is Nuremberg in the sixteenth century. Walter von Stolzing, a young knight, loves and is loved by Eva, the daughter of the goldsmith Pogner. Her father, however, has offered her hand as a prize in the forthcoming meistersinger tournament, and to avoid losing her, Walter determines to qualify for and take part in the contest. He succeeds in being accepted as a candidate, and with the help of Hans Sachs, the famous cobbler meistersinger, defeats his rival, Beckmesser, and wins the girl. The play is indirectly a satire on Wagner's critics, the old and pedantic Beckmesser typifying the worst elements of musical conservatism, while Walter represents Wagner himself. See Meistersinger.

MEHEMET ALI PASHA, pȧ-shä' (1827-78). A Turkish soldier. He was born in Prussia, and his name originally was Karl Detroit. In 1843 he ran away to sea and embarked for Turkey. Aali Pasha, later Grand Vizier, took an interest in him, and in 1846 sent him to a military school. He received a commission in the Ottoman army in 1853, and fought against Russia. In 1865 he was made a brigadier-general and pasha; in 1875-76 he commanded in Bosnia, and in the war of 1877-78 against Russia he was at the head of the Turkish army in Bulgaria. He was successful in his operations on the River Lom (August-September, 1877), but was afterward forced back by the enemy. He failed to effect a junction with Suleiman Pasha and was superseded by the latter. He was second plenipotentiary at the Berlin Congress, and on his return was sent to Albania, where he was mobbed and killed by insurgents at Diakova, September 7, 1878.
# The New International Encyclopædia/Meherrin

Edition of 1905. See also Meherrin on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MEHER'RIN. A small tribe of Iroquoian stock, formerly living on the lower course of the river of the same name, on the Virginia-Carolina border. For a long time they were a subject of contention between the two colonies, each claiming them as within her own jurisdiction. They were said to have been a remnant of the Susquehanna or Conestoga, who fled southward after their expulsion from the head of Chesapeake Bay by the Iroquois about the year 1676. They made some trouble during the Tuscarora War of 1711-12, but soon afterward disappear from notice, having apparently been absorbed by that tribe or by the Tutelo.

MEMMINGER, mĕm′mĭn-jĕr, Christopher Gustavus (1803-88). An American political leader, Secretary of the Treasury in the Government of the Confederate States, he was born in Württemberg, Germany, but was brought at an early age to South Carolina by his mother, who died not long after their arrival. He was for a time in an orphan asylum in Charleston, and was then adopted by Thomas Bennett, afterwards Governor. Memminger graduated from South Carolina College in 1820, studied law, and practiced in Charleston. He was an opponent of Calhoun, and in 1832 wrote the Book of Nullification, a satire in biblical style upon that leader's favorite doctrine. He was for many years a member of the State Legislature, and for nearly twenty years was the head of the finance committee. In January, 1860, he was sent as a special commissioner to Virginia in order to induce that State to enter a scheme for obtaining redress of Southern grievances. Some months later he was one of the leaders in the convention which declared that the connection of South Carolina with the United States was dissolved. Upon the formation of the Confederacy, he was made Secretary of the Treasury, which office he held until June, 1864, when he resigned. He was responsible for the disastrous financial policy of the Confederate Government. For an account of his administration, consult Schwab, The Confederate States of America, 1861-65: A Financial and Industrial History of the South During the Civil War (New York, 1901).
# The New International Encyclopædia/Mehemet Ali

Edition of 1905. See also Muhammad Ali of Egypt on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
MEHEMET ALI, mā′he-mĕt ä′lē̇ (1769-1849). Viceroy of Egypt. He was born in 1769 at Kavala, a little town in Macedonia. Left an orphan, he was taken into the service of a captain of the Janizaries. He learned much of military matters and of intrigue, made a rich marriage in 1787, and was thus able to obtain a commission as an officer in the irregular troops of the Sultan. Through relations which he formed with a Marseilles merchant he amassed wealth in trade. He received a command in Egypt to coöperate with the British against the French invaders, and at length became commander of the Albanian or Arnaut Corps. In 1805 he was recognized by the Porte as Viceroy of Egypt and Pasha of Three Tails, but was soon involved in disputes with the Mamelukes (q.v.), who had long practically ruled Egypt. The struggle was finally terminated in 1811 by the massacre of the greater number of these at Cairo. The rest fled to Upper Egypt, but were expelled by Mehemet in the following year. They then took refuge in Nubia, but in 1820 he followed them there and completely vanquished them. From 1811 to 1818 he carried on war against the Wahabis in Arabia, who were subjugated by his adopted son, Ibrahim Pasha. Shortly after he conquered Kordofan, added it to his dominions, and opened a great trade in slaves from the interior of Africa. About this time he began to reorganize his army on something like
European principles, built a fleet, and erected fortresses, military shop-works, and arsenals. He sent a strong force to assist the Sultan in suppressing the Greek revolt in 1824, but his new fleet was destroyed at Navarino in 1827. In 1830 the Porte conferred on him the Government of Crete, but this did not satisfy his ambition. He determined to annex Syria to his dominions, and in 1831 despatched an army under Ibrahim Pasha, who overran the country, defeating the Turks at Horas, July, 1832, and by his victory at Konieh (December 20, 1832) brought the Turkish Government to the brink of ruin. Russia now stepped in, and a treaty was concluded (May 4, 1833) by which Syria was handed over to Mehemet. Neither of the belligerents was satisfied, and Mehemet continued to plot till Sultan Mahmud II. declared war in 1839 against his dangerous subject. At Nisib, June 24, 1839, the Turkish army was crushed by the forces of Mehemet Ali, but the European powers again interfered, and Mehemet was compelled to give up Syria and Crete and to content himself with the hereditary vice-royalty of Egypt (1841). Mehemet was at once a remorseless tyrant and an able, progressive administrator, and did much to develop Egypt. He cleared his dominions of robbers, executed great public works, and may be said almost to have introduced the cultivation of cotton, indigo, and sugar into the country. He also established a system of national education in Egypt. He died August 2, 1849. See Egypt.

Published in Harper's, Volume 59, Issue 350, July 1879.
The clock has struck six,  And the morning is fair,  While the east in red splendor is glowing; There’s a dew on the grass, and a song in the air—  Let us up and be off to the mowing.
 Wouldst know why I wait  Ere the sunlight has crept  O’er the fields where the daisies are growing? Why all night I’ve kept my own vigils, nor slept?  ’Tis to-day is the day of the mowing.
 This day and this hour  Maud has promised to tell  What the blush on her cheek was half showing. If she waits at the lane, I’m to know all is well,  And there’ll be a good time at the mowing.
 Maud’s mother has said,  And I’ll never deny,  That a girl’s heart there can be no knowing. Oh, I care not to live, and I rather would die,  If Maud does not come to the mowing.
 What is it I see?  ’Tis a sheen of brown hair  In the lane where the poppies are blowing. Thank God! it is Maud—she is waiting me there,  And there’ll be a good time at the mowing.
 Six years have passed by,  And I freely declare  That I scarcely have noticed their going; Sweet Maud is my wife, with her sheen of brown hair,  And we had a good time at the mowing.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
77 U.S. 419
The Mabey
No excuse is shown in the papers, on which the motion is founded, why the witnesses named, and proposed to be examined, were not examined in some one of the courts below before the hearing there. The affidavit simply states that the testimony of these witnesses is material, as advised by counsel.
This is not in accordance with the practice of the court. Some excuse, satisfactory to this court, should be shown for the failure to examine them in the courts below, such as that the evidence was discovered when it was too late to procure such examination, or that the witnesses had been subpoenaed and failed to appear, and could not be reached by attachments, and the like.
Many of the cases bearing on this subject are cases of amendment in the appellate court by adding new allegations and giving new proofs. But they involve the practice applicable to motions simply to examine witnesses in the appellate court. There can be no substantial amendment in this court; but if the pleadings or evidence are so defective that no decree can be founded upon them, and the case appear to have merits, the court will reverse the decree and remand the cause to the court below with directions to permit amendments and further proofs.
It is quite apparent, if commissions were to be allowed by this court to issue as a matter of course, on a formal application under the twelfth rule, without requiring any excuse for not taking the evidence in the usual way before the courts below, the privilege would be open to great abuse, disturbing the orderly proceedings in courts of admiralty. Instead of taking proofs in the cause in the courts below, and there thoroughly trying it, much of the evidence could safely be omitted, relying on the new evidence in this court. There is no hardship upon the parties in guarding against this abuse with great care and strictness, as they have two opportunities to procure the attendance and examaination of the witnesses before they come here on appeal: first, before the District Court, and again before the Circuit.
MOTION DENIED.

# The MPP Program and Border Security Joint Statement by Assistant to the President and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall

Published 2021-02-16
Starting February 19, the United States will begin to process eligible individuals in the Migration Protection Protocols (MPP) program to pursue their asylum cases in the US, working closely with the Government of Mexico, as well as international and non-governmental organizations.
Individuals should not take any action at this time and should remain where they are to await further instructions. We will soon announce a virtual registration process that will be accessible from any location.
Once registered, eligible individuals will be provided additional information about where and when to present themselves. Individuals should not approach the border until instructed to do so.
We caution people seeking to immigrate to the United States that our borders are not open, and that this is just the first phase in the administration’s work to reopen access to an orderly asylum process.
This new process applies to individuals who were returned to Mexico under the MPP program and have cases pending before the Executive Office for Immigration Review.
Individuals outside of the United States who were not returned to Mexico under MPP or who do not have active immigration court cases will not be considered for participation in this first phase of this program and should await further instructions.
If you seek entry into the US and do not have an active MPP case, you will be immediately expelled and will not be permitted to remain in the United States.
People who attempt to cross the border without going through ports of entry should understand that you are putting yourselves and your families in danger, especially during a global pandemic.
President Biden is committed to immigration reform in the long term, but it will take time. The immigration reform legislation that President Biden sent to the Congress only applies to individuals who were in the United States before January 1, 2021.
This is a crucial first step to communicate our respect for human rights and human dignity, which includes abiding by legal processes and health and safety protocols.

# The MJ-12 Project

Operations Review. Received July 21, 2000
TOP SECRET
THE MJ-12 PROJECT
The Overview. In pursuant to the Presidential national Security Memorandum of June 28, 1961, the U.S. intelligence operations against the Soviet Union are currently active in two broad areas; aircraft launch vehicles incorporating ELINT and SIGINT capabilities; and balloon borne decoys with ECM equipment.
The Situation. The overall effectiveness about the actual Soviet response and alert status is not documented to the point where U.S. intelligence can provide a true picture of how Soviet air defenses perceive unidentified flying objects.
Informational sources have provided some detail on coded transmissions and tactical plans whose reliability is uncertain, and thus, do not give us precise knowledge of Soviet Order of Battle. Current estimates place Soviet air and rocket defenses on a maximum alert footing with air operations centered on radar and visual verification much the same as ours.
Future psychological warfare plans are in the making for more sophisticated vehicles whose characteristics come very close to phenomena collected by Air Force and NSA elements authorized for operations in this area of intelligence.
Basis for Action. Earlier studies indicated that Americans perceived U.F.O. sightings as the work of Soviet propaganda designed to convince U.S. intelligence of their technical superiority and to spread distrust of the government. CIA conducted three reviews of the situation utilizing all available information and concluded that 80% of the sighting reports investigated by the Air Force's Project Blue Book were explainable and posed no immediate threat to national security. The remaining cases have been classified for security reasons and are under review. While the possibility remains that true U.F.O. cases are of non-terrestrial origin, U.S. intelligence is of the opinion that they do not constitute a physical threat to national defense. For reasons of security, I cannot divulge pertinent data on some of the more sensitive aspects of MJ-12 activities which have been deemed properly classified under the 1954 Atomic Energy Act of 1954.
I hope this clarifies the necessity to keep current operations within CIA activities in sensitive areas from becoming official disclosure. From time to time, updates will be provided through NIE as more information becomes available.

The Mabey
ON motion. Atkins had libelled the steam tug Mabey in the District Court at New York, for injury done by the Mabey to a vessel of his, then in New York harbor. The District Court decreed in his favor, and the Circuit Court affirmed the decree. The owner of the Mabey appealed to this court; and Mr. T. M. Wheeler, in his behalf, now moved the court for a commission to take further evidence to be read in this court on the hearing. The affidavits on which the motion was founded gave the names of several witnesses represented as residing in New York and Brooklyn, and swore that 'they were material and necessary witnesses in the action on behalf of the appellant, without the benefit of whose testimony he could not safely proceed to trial, as he is informed and believes, and as he is advised by his counsel therein, after a full and fair statement of the facts which the appellants expect to prove by the said witnesses.'
Mr. Justice NELSON delivered the opinion of the court.

TO IVOR AND MERTHYR.
My dear Children,
Infants as you yet are, I feel that I cannot dedicate more fitly than to you these venerable relics of ancient lore, and I do so in the hope of inciting you to cultivate the Literature of "Gwyllt Walia," in whose beautiful language you are being initiated, and amongst whose free mountains you were born.
May you become early imbued with the chivalric and exalted sense of honour, and the fervent patriotism for which its sons have ever been celebrated.
May you learn to emulate the noble qualities of Ivor Hael, and the firm attachment to your Native Country, which distinguished that Ivor Bach, after whom the elder of you was named.
I am,
Your affectionate Mother,

Edition of 1905. See also Oberammergau Passion Play on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
PASSION PLAY. A performance which takes place every tenth year in the village of Oberammergau, in the Bavarian highlands. In 1633, as an act of gratitude for the cessation of a plague which had desolated the surrounding country, the villagers vowed to represent the passion of Christ every ten years, and have ever since observed their vow. The inhabitants of this secluded spot, long noted for their skill in carving wood and ivory, have a rare union of artistic cultivation with perfect simplicity. The personator of Christ considers his part an act of religious devotion; he and the other principal performers are said to be selected for their holy
life, and consecrated to their work with prayer. The players, about six hundred in number, are all villagers, who, though they have no artistic instruction except from the parish priest, act their parts with much dramatic power and a delicate appreciation of character. The Gospel narrative is closely followed; the acts alternate with tableaux from the Old Testament and choral odes. Many thousands of the peasantry are attracted by the spectacle from all parts of the Tyrol and Bavaria, among whom the same earnest and devout demeanor prevails as among the performers.
