# Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period/Wang Wan

Layout 2
​WANG Wan 汪琬 (T. 苕文, H. 純庵, 堯峯, 玉遮山樵), Mar. 5, 1624–1691, Jan. 8, writer, was a native of Ch'ang-chou (Soochow), Kiangsu. A chin-shih of 1655, he was made (1658) a secretary in the Board of Revenue and later (1660) rose to be a department director in the Board of Punishments. In 1661 he was named one of several thousand delinquents in the tax payment case of Kiangnan (see under Yeh Fang-ai) and was degraded to a police magistrate in the north city of Peking. In this post he was much praised by the common people for his justice and for the help he rendered to the poor and oppressed. In 1666 he was again appointed a secretary in the Board of Revenue, and three years later was sent to Nanking to serve concurrently as supervisor of the Hsi-hsin-kuan 西新關 customs district—one of two customs districts in the Nanking area which were merged in 1671 under one supervisor, and later were put under the charge of the superintendent of the Imperial Manufactory at Nanking.
Wang Wan returned to Peking in September 1670, but a few months later he retired to his home in the Western suburbs of Soochow. In 1678 he was summoned to Peking to take, in the following year, the special examination known as po-hsüeh hung-tz'ŭ (see under P'êng Sun-yü). Chosen as nineteenth among the fifty successful competitors, he was awarded the rank of a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and was ordered to assist in the compilation of the official history of the Ming Dynasty (see under Wang Hung-hsü). In this capacity he completed 175 biographies. He resigned in 1681 and spent the remainder of his life at Soochow.
Straightforward and outspoken by temper, Wang Wan often criticized the writings of other scholars, provoking them at the same time to bitter criticisms of his own works. He was respected as a scholar and was regarded as one of the best essayists of his day. He printed his own collected works in two series: the first, entitled 鈍翁類稿 Tun-wêng lei-kao, 62 chüan, in 1674–76; the second, Tun-wêng hsü (續) kao, 56 chüan, in 1684–85. In 1690, shortly before his death, he edited a smaller collection of his works, selected from earlier publications and from his later writings. This new edition includes ten chüan of verse, entitled 堯峯詩鈔 Yao-fêng shih-ch'ao, and forty chüan of essays, entitled Yao-fêng wên-ch'ao. The final manuscripts for this edition, transcribed personally by one of his disciples, Lin Chi [q. v.], were printed in facsimile in 1692–93. Another edition of his essays, entitled Yao-fêng wên-lu (錄), 16 chüan, was made in 1887 by Chin Wu-lan 金吳瀾 (T. 螺青, 鷺卿), magistrate of K'un-shan, 1876–81; acting magistrate of Wu-hsien, 1884–85.

​WANG Tsai-chin 王在晉 (T. 明初), 1564–1643, Ming official and scholar, was a native of T'ai-ts'ang, Kiangsu, and a chin-shih of 1592. In his official career, he rose to the post of governor of Shantung. In 1620 he was transferred to the Board of War as senior vice-president, becoming its president in 1622. On April 18, 1622, he was sent to Liaotung as generalissimo, replacing Hsiung T'ing-pi [q. v.]. The cornerstone in his policy for that territory consisted in an extensive settlement of the land by Mongol tribes to act as a buffer state between China and the Manchus, and in the withdrawal of the defenses to a point just outside Shanhaikuan where he advocated the erection of a second wall. These projects were opposed by Yüan Ch'ung-huan and Sun Ch'êng-tsung [qq. v.], and in consequence Wang was recalled on September 21, 1622. After holding a series of minor posts, he was again made president of the Board of War for six months in 1628, but owing to dismissal in connection with a bribery case, he remained thereafter in retirement until his death.
The index of banned books drawn up during the Ch'ien-lung period contains the titles of ten works by Wang Tsai-chin, of which two are known to be extant. The 三朝遼事實錄 San-ch'ao Liao-shih shih-lu, first printed in 17 chüan in the Ch'ung-chên period (1628–1644) and reprinted by the Kuo-hsüeh Library of Nanking in 1931, treats in chronological order and in detail the history of events in Liaotung from 1618 to the end of 1627. A group of Wang's memorials on administrative policy in Liaotung comprise chüan 32–40 of his 寶善堂集 Pao-shan t'ang chi. Others of his works, which deal with Liaotung, seem so far not to have been recovered.

A native of the southern part of New Holland, where it was found by Mr. Brown without flowers. It is now not uncommon in our conservatories, but rarely flowers. Our drawing was made in the conservatory of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, at Syon, in March last.
If we can judge from our wild New Holland specimens, the species is subject to variation in the denticulations of the leaves. We have what appears to be identical with this, with some leaves altogether entire, and the remainder very slightly toothed.
A shrub, growing as high as a man in our conservatories, with slender purple-gray villous branches. Leaves long, linear, tapering to the petiole, truncate, spinous-toothed, especially beyond the middle, with the very minute down on the upper side; white with down, except the naked mid-rib, and veinless, beneath. Amentum cylindrical, with rufous calyxes, which are downy, as well as the bracteæ and rigid purple styles.

A rare species, which, as far as we know, has only flowered three times in this country; first, in the Botanic Garden at Edinburgh, next in the garden of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, to whom we are indebted for an opportunity of figuring it, and, lastly, in the collection of Henry Berens, Esq. at Sidcup.
It is chiefly for its beautiful foliage and graceful habit that it is valued, its flowers having no strikingly brilliant colours to recommend them.
We found neither the whiteness of the under side of the leaves, nor the faintness of the veins, which are supposed to be characteristic of the species; but these were probably only accidental deviations from what is usual.
Dr. Brown states it to be a native of Lewin's Land, on the south coast of New Holland, in rocky places near the sea-coast.
* It is almost superfluous to say that this fine genus was named in honour of the late Sir Joseph Banks, the enlightened traveller, and the steady friend of science, whose memory would deserve to be immortalised, if it were only for his protection of such men as Dryander and Brown.

# Edwards's Botanical Register/Volume 16/1316. Banksia undulata

This plant is now known as Banksia aemula.
1316
BAŃKSIA* unduláta. Waved-leaved Banksia.
TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
Nat. ord. Proteaceaæ.
BANKSIA. Suprà, vol. 8, fol. 688.
B. undulata; foliis cuneato-oblongis dentatis undulatis subtús reticulatis glabriusculis, stigmate cylindraceo sulcato, caule arboreo. Rami cinerei tomentosi. Folia 4-5-uncias longa, cuneata, obtusa, vix truncata, in petiolo sensim attenuata, grossé serrata, undulata, subtùs viridia, reticulata, glabra, costá tomentosá. Amenta oblonga, obtusa; bracteæ tomentose. Calyx fulvo-sericeus, stylo multó brevior. Stylus rectus, ascendens, nunquam recurvatus. Stigma oblogum, sulcatum, glabrum.
Whether this is any thing more than a variety of Banksia serrata, we cannot undertake to decide. It is certainly not the same as the plant cultivated in our Gardens under that name, differing in the shortness of its leaves, and their very undulated surface. Mr Campbell, Gardener to the Comte de Vandes, in whose collection it exists, finds it permanently distinct both from B. serrata and æmula.
It is a fine greenhouse plant, attaining a height of 9 or 10 feet, and flowering in September and October.
Branches ash-coloured, downy. Leaves 4 or 5 inches long, cuneate, obtuse, scarcely truncate, tapering by degrees into the petiole, coarsely serrated, wavy, green beneath, reticulated, smooth, with a downy midrib. Heads of flowers oblong, obtuse; bracteæ downy. Calyx fulvous, silky, much shorter than the style. Style straight, ascending, never curved backwards. Stigma oblong, furrowed, smooth.
J.L.
Named in compliment to the Right Hon. Sir Joseph Banks, late President of the Royal Society, - a gentleman who will ever be remembered with gratitude, as the kindest friend, the firmest supporter, the most powerful protector, that has yet been recorded in the history of science.

# Ebony and Crystal/Vignettes

VIGNETTES
BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS
Surely, beyond the mountains there is peace—beyond the mountains that lie so blue and still at the world's extreme. Such ancient calm, such infinite quietude is upon them, that surely, no toiling cities, no sea whose foam a ship has ever cloven, can lie beyond, but valleys of azure silence, where amaranthine flowers sleep and dream, untroubled of any wind, by the hyalescense of tranquilly flowing streams unbroken as the surface of a mirror.
THE BROKEN LUTE
Because you are silent to my lyric prayers, deaf to the melodies I have made from the sighs and murmurs of a wounded love, I have broken my golden lute, and cast it away, tarnished and unstrung, among the red leaves and faded roses of the September garden. Silence, the silver dust of lilies, the mournful muted wind of autumn, and the fitfully drifting leaves, have claimed it for their own. Seeing it there, as you pass on your queenly way amid the crumbling roses, will you not echo in your heart one sigh of the many sighs, which, as a music for your pleasure, were breathed from its chords, during the summer's half-forgotten days?
NOSTALGIA OF THE UNKNOWN
The nostalgia of things unknown, of lands forgotten or unfound, is upon me at times. Often I long for the gleam of yellow suns upon terraces of translucent azure marble, mocking the windless waters of lakes unfathomably calm; for lost, legendary palaces of serpentine, silver and ebony, whose columns are green stalactites; for the pillars of fallen temples, standing in the vast purpureal sunset of a land of lost and marvellous romance. I sigh for the dark-green depths of cedar forests, through whose fantastically woven boughs, one sees at intervals an unknown tropic ocean, like gleams of blue diamond; ​for isles of palm and coral, that fret an amber morning, somewhere beyond Cathay or Taprobana; for the strange and hidden cities of the desert, with burning brazen domes and slender pinnacles of gold and copper, that pierce a heaven of heated lazuli.
GREY SORROW
Ofttimes, in the golden, sad, November days, I meet among the dead roses of the garden the ghost of an old sorrow—a sorrow grey and dim as the mist of autumn—as a wandering mist that was once a rain of tears. There, through the long decline of afternoon, I walk among the roses with the ghost of my sorrow, whose half-forgotten, half-invisible form becomes dimmer and more indistinct, till I know its face no longer from the twilight, nor its voice from the vesper wind.
THE HAIR OF CIRCE
I am afraid of thy hair: Lustrous, heavily curled, it suggests the coils of a golden snake; and half the fascination of thy painted lips, of thy still and purple-lidded eyes, is due to the fear that it may awake beneath my caresses.
THE EYES OF CIRCE
Thine eyes are green and still as the lakes of the desert. They awake in me the thirst for strange and bitter mysteries, the desire of secrets that are deadly and sterile.

Who Goes Home?
RONDEAU
When "Who goes home?" a voice stentorian calls,
Re-echoing through corridors and halls, To faithful Commons met in grave debate, When lights are lowered and the hour is late, Grateful on weary ears that summons falls.
Slowly with shadowy footsteps sleep installs Silence within old Westminster's grey walls, Peace reigns in place of party passionate When all go home. ​When thinner blood through this my body crawls, And slackening sense is bound in Death's dark thralls, Love, shall I find you waiting at the gate With open arms? Ah! may that be my fate When I go home.
FINIS.
# Erotica/Who Is She?

Who Is She?
Dear women pass before me in my dreams, Dear women dead whose red lips I have kissed, In sweet succession smiling through a mist Of many unshed tears, but yet it seems One woman stands behind me, who is she?
She stands behind me silently. Alas, I cannot see, but feel her presence there, The soft reflected radiance of her hair Lights up the gloom, but still she will not pass,
This ever silent woman, who is she? ​For hunger of this woman yet unseen,
Whose presence felt is seared upon my brain, My heart pervaded by her scent is fain To beat no more for women who have been, Or are, but only for her. Who is she?

United States Supreme Court
94 U.S. 619
Erskine v. Milwaukee and St Paul Railway Company
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
This was an action brought by the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Company against Erskine, collector of internal revenue for the First Collection District of the State of Wisconsin, to recover $17,296.12 paid by the company under protest in the year 1870, and by him claimed to be due from it for taxes under the laws of the United States.
There was a judgment in favor of the company for $3655.07 and costs. Each party excepted to the rulings of the court below, and sued out a writ of error. The exceptions of the company were abandoned here. The only question submitted was, whether the company was liable for any sum beyond the penalty of $1,000 for its default in paying the tax of five per cent upon the amount paid to the holders of the oupons, which represented the interest on its bonds, and upon the dividends payable to its stockholders.
The court below held that the company was not so liable.
Mr. John W. Cary for the company.
Mr. Assistant Attorney-General Smith, contra.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE delivered the opinion of the court.

The Sleeping Beauty
She slept whilst chains of servitude Were round her rivetted, Her palace walls were hung about With cere-cloths of the dead, The rank weeds sprang within her courts, Wild briars fenced her gate; For seven long years the spell had worked— Comes then the Prince too late?
Lo! from her fair limbs fall the chains, The rank weeds fade away; Her Prince awakes her with a kiss And knowledge brings the day.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
94 U.S. 619
Erskine v. Milwaukee and St Paul Railway Company
No error has been assigned by the railroad company upon this record, for the reason that the rulings to which the company took exceptions are all sustained by our decisions in Barnes v. Railroad Companies, 17 Wall. 294, and Stockdale v. Insurance Companies, 20 id. 323.
We think that the Circuit Court was right in holding that the only penalty to which the company was liable for default under sect. 122 of the internal revenue act of June 30, 1864, 13 Stat. 284, as amended July 13, 1866, 14 id. 138, was that of $1,000 specially provided for in that section. The penalty of five per cent and interest at the rate of one per cent per month, apply only to cases of default in the payment of duties upon incomes imposed by sect. 119 as amended. 13 id. 283; 14 id. 480.
Judgment affirmed, the costs incident to each writ to be paid by the party suing it out.
