# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Staigg, Richard Morrell

Edition of 1900.
​STAIGG, Richard Morrell (stag), artist, b. in Leeds, England, 7 Sept., 1817; d. in Newport, R. I., 11 Oct., 1881. When he was about thirteen years of age he was placed in an architect's office, and he subsequently received a few weeks' instruction in portrait-painting. In 1831 he came to the United States with his father, and four years later he settled with the family in Newport. In his artistic efforts he met with encouragement and advice from Washington Allston, and soon devoted himself entirely to miniature-painting. Among his portraits are those of Washington Allston, Edward Everett, Daniel Webster, William H. Prescott, and others. Some of his miniatures were exhibited at the Royal academy, and received warm praise. He was a regular exhibitor at the Academy of design, New York, of which he was elected an associate in 1856, and an academician in 1861. He visited Europe in 1867-'9, and again in 1872-'4. The last twenty years of his life were devoted to painting life-size portraits in oil, as well as genre pieces and landscapes. Among his works in oil are portraits of himself, of Russell Sturgis and George H. Calvert, and the “Crossing Sweeper”; “The Sailor's Grave” (1862); and “Cat's Cradle” (1863).

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Squier, Ephraim George

Edition of 1900.
SQUIER, Ephraim George, author, b. in Bethlehem. N. Y., 17 June, 1821; d. in Brooklyn, N. Y., 17 April, 1888. In early youth he worked on a farm, attended and taught school, studied engineering, and became interested in American antiquities. He was associated in the publication of the “New York State Mechanic,” at Albany, in 1841-'2, and engaged in journalism in Hartford, Conn., and Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1843-'8, during which period he also investigated the ancient monuments of the Mississippi valley in conjunction with Dr. Edwin Hamilton Davis (q. v.), and prepared the narrative that was published in vol. i. of the “Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge” (Washington, 1848). He also made an examination of the ancient remains of New York state under the auspices of the New York historical society in 1848. He was appointed special chargé d'affaires to all the Central American states in 1849, and negotiated treaties with Nicaragua, Honduras, and San Salvador. In 1853 he made a second visit to Central America to examine a line for a projected interoceanic railroad, and to make further study of the archaeology of the country. In 1856 he received the medal of the French geographical society for his researches. In 1863 Mr. Squier was appointed U. S. commissioner to Peru, where he made an exhaustive investigation of Inca remains and took numerous photographs of them. In 1868 he was appointed consul-general of Honduras at New York, and in 1871 he was elected the first president of the Anthropological institute of New York. In 1874 his health became so seriously impaired as to preclude further original research, and though he subsequently recovered sufficiently to direct the final preparation and revision of his work on Peru for publication, the affection resulted in his death. He was a member of numerous historical, archaeological, and scientific societies, and several years chief editor of Frank Leslie's publishing-house. Besides many official reports, scientific papers, magazine articles, and contributions to the “Encyclopaedia Britannica” and foreign periodicals, his works include “Aboriginal Monuments of the State of New York” (“Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge,” 1849; Buffalo, 1851); “Serpent Symbols” (1852); “Nicaragua: its People, Scenery, and Monuments” (New York, 1852); “Notes on Central America” (1854); “Waikna, or Adventures on the Mosquito Shore” (1855); “The States of Central America” (1857; revised ed., 1870); “Monographs of Authors who have written on the Aboriginal Languages of Central America” (1860); “Tropical Fibres and their Economic Extraction” (1861); and “Peru: Incidents and Explorations in the Land of the Incas” (1877).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Stager, Anson

Edition of 1900.
​STAGER, Anson, soldier, b. in Ontario county, N. Y., 20 April, 1825; d. in Chicago, Ill., 26 March, 1885. At sixteen years of age he entered into the service of Henry O'Reilly, a printer, who subsequently became a pioneer in the building and operating of telegraphs. He followed O'Reilly in his enterprise, and when the latter established a line from Philadelphia to Harrisburg he was placed in charge of the first office at Lancaster, Pa., in 1846. He then went to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he made several improvements in the construction of batteries and the arrangement of wires, and in 1852 he was made general superintendent of the principal lines in the west at that time. After the consolidation of the Western union company with these he was still superintendent, and to his industry and ability the success of these lines is much indebted. At the opening of the civil war he was asked to take the management of the telegraphs in southern Ohio and along the Virginia line, to which he consented and at once prepared a cipher by which he could safely communicate with those who had the key. In October he was called to Wellington and appointed general superintendent of government telegraphs in all departments. He remained in service till September, 1868, and was brevetted brigadier-general of volunteers for valuable services. In 1869 Gen. Stager returned to Chicago, and, in addition to his duties as general superintendent, he was the promoter of many enterprises, among which was the Western electric manufacturing company, one of the largest of its kind in the United States. He was also interested in the Babcock manufacturing company and several others. He secured a consolidation of the two telephone companies in Chicago, and was president of them and also of the Western Edison electric light company, and a director in many corporations.
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Stallo, John Bernhard

Edition of 1900. The 1891 edition notes he came to the U.S. in 1839 and taught in Cincinnati.
​STALLO, John Bernhard, diplomatist, b. in Sierhausen, Oldenburg, 16 March, 1823; d. in Rome, Italy, Jan., 1900. He came to this country, and ​New York city till 1847, studied law, and was a judge of the Cincinnati court of common pleas in 1853-'5. He took part in the Liberal Republican movement of 1872, and was appointed minister to Italy in 1885. He is the author of “General Principles of the Philosophy of Nature” (Boston, 1848) and “Concepts and Theories of Modern Physics” (New York, 1882).
# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Stanbery, Henry

Edition of 1900.
​STANBERY, Henry, attorney-general, b. in New York city, 20 Feb., 1803; d. there, 26 June, 1881. He was the son of Jonas Stanbery, a physician, who removed to Zanesville, Ohio, in 1814. Henry was graduated at Washington college, Pa., in 1819, and began the study of law in that year, but could not be admitted to the bar until he was of age, in 1824. Then, at the invitation of Thomas Ewing, he began practice in Lancaster county, Ohio, and rode the circuit with him. Mr. Stanbery remained for many years at Lancaster. In 1846 the office of attorney-general of Ohio was created by the general assembly, and he was elected to be its first occupant. He accordingly removed to Columbus, where he resided for about five years. At that time the U. S. courts were held there, and Judge Stanbery established a large and valuable practice in them as well as in the supreme court of Ohio. In 1850 he was elected a delegate to the convention that framed the present state constitution. In 1853 he removed to Cincinnati, and in 1866 he was appointed attorney-general of the United States by President Johnson. This office he accepted, after consultation with his friends, solely from a desire to assist in carrying the government safely through the perilous period that followed the war, and resigned it at the request of the executive to become one of his counsel on the impeachment trial. His health at the time was so delicate that most of his arguments were submitted in writing. On the termination of the trial he was nominated by the president to the office of justice of the U. S. supreme court; but the senate refused to confirm him. He then returned to Cincinnati, where he was president of the Law association of that city, but held no other public office. He wrote occasionally on political questions, and sometimes made public addresses. As a lawyer, although he was learned in technicalities and skilled in applying the nice rules of evidence and practice, he especially delighted in the discussion of general principles. As a practitioner he was quick to perceive the slightest weakness in his opponent's case. He never attempted to browbeat or mislead a witness, but knew how to secure full and true answers even from those who had come upon the stand with hostile intentions.

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/Staden, Hans

Edition of 1900.
​STADEN, Hans (stah'-den), German traveller, b. in Hesse-Homburg in 1520; d. there about 1565. He had received a good education and was in ​moderate circumstances, when desire for travel led him to enlist in 1547 on a ship that was bound for Brazil. He returned, 8 Oct., 1548, and, going to Seville, enlisted as a volunteer in an expedition for La Plata river, which sailed in March, 1549. On reaching the mouth of the river two ships sank in a storm, and, after vainly trying to build a bark, part of the shipwrecked crew set out overland for Asuncion, while the other sailed upon the third vessel for the island of São Vicente, but were also wrecked, and Staden, with a few survivors, passed to the continent and established themselves at São Marco in 1552. A few weeks later Staden, while engaged in a hunting expedition, was captured by a party of Tupinamba Indians, who carried him to their village, where he was to be devoured at the next festivity, but he won the friendship of a powerful chief, whom he cured of a disease, and his life was spared. The Portuguese tried several times to negotiate for Staden's ransom, but the Indians declined all overtures. At last he made his escape on a French ship, and on 22 Feb., 1555, arrived at Honfleur, in Normandy, and thence went immediately to his native city, which he never left afterward. His interesting narrative “Geschichte eines Landes, gelegen in der Neuen Welt, America genannt, von Hans Staden aus Homburg in Hessen” (Marburg, 1557), which contains also a summary of the manners of Tupinamba Indians and a description of their villages, has been translated into French and reprinted in the collection of Henry Ternaux-Compans.

# Blaeberries, or, The highland laird's courtship to a farmer's daughter/The happy marriage

THE HAPPY MARRIAGE.
AS I was a walking one morning so fair. So Green was the fields, and cool was the air. There did I discover Pretty Nancy my lover, And I for to woo her was pleas’d for to say,
​O fairest of creatures that ever was seen, You’re the pride of my heart, the flow’r of the green, With garlands made of roses, And sweet pretty posies, What nature composes I’ll crown you my Queen.
To these words I spoke she answered and said, O how can you flatter a poor harmless maid, For your tongue it runs so nimble, It makes my heart to tremble, And l fear you dissemble my poor heart to break.
Of all my sweethearts I have had nine or ten, Yet never a one can fancy of them, But if I should believe you, And you should deceive me, And scornfully leave me, Oh! where am I then?
These words I speak is by the Powers above, The rocks and the mountains shall sooner remove, And the sea shall flame on fire, If from my love I do retire, And there’s nothing I desire, but innocent love.
If innocent love is all your request, And you are in earnest, l thought you were in jest, I’ll adore you with pleasure, With kisses out of measure, With joy, peace and pleasure, we both shall be blest.
This couple they’re married and live very happy, Enjoying one another with pleasures so canty, The rocks they shall melt, And the mountains shall move. If ever I prove false to the woman I love.

I can't for I'm in haste.
⟨AS⟩ cross the fields the other morn, I tripp’d so blithe and gay, The squire with his dog and gun By chance came by that way. ​Whither so fast sweet maid, he cried, And caught me round the waist, Pray stop a while, dear sir, said I, I can’t for I’m in haste, I can’t for I'm in haste, I can’t for I’m in haste, Pray stop a while, dear sir, said I, I can’t for I'm in haste.
You must not go as yet, cried he, For I have much to say; Come, sit you down, and let us chat Upon this new mown hay. I’ve lov’d you long, and oft have wish’d Those ruby lips to taste; I'll have a kiss, well then, said I, Be quick, for I’m in haste.
Just as I spoke, I saw young Hedge Come thro’ a neighb’ring gate, He caught my hand and cried, dear girl, I fear I've made you wait.
But here’s the ring, come let’s to church, The joys of love to taste; I left the squire, and laughing cried, You see, sir, I’m in haste.

O DEAR! I’M SO PLEAS’D.
When Strephon appears, how my heart pit a pat, shews the tender emotion with which it is seiz’d, To the the shepherd’s bewitching gay innocent chat, I could listen for ever, O dear! I’m so pleas’d.
My grandmother frowns, & protests I’m too young, with the lesson of Cupid to soon to be teaz’d, But so sweet is the honey that falls from his tongue, I laugh at my grandmam, O dear! I'm so pleas’d.
​⟨Should⟩ he ask me to wed, as he hinted today, when my hand he so soft & so tenderly squeez’d, He’s so pretty a swain that I can’t say him nay, I’m resolv’d to be marry’d, O dear! I’m so pleas’d.
# Blaeberries/The wanton wives and girls of Hull

Date is estimated.
A NEW SONG,
On the Wanton Girls and wanton Wives of HULL.
You bucks of Hull I pray draw near, and liſten to my ſtory. Since the Highland lads have been in town, wives and girls were in their glory; Theſe gallant heroes of Waterloo, they merrily lead their lives, ſir. They ſport and play with pretty girls, and of oft with ſailors' wives, ſir.
Almoſt every night in the Garriſon, thoſe wives attend the parade, ſir, The Highland lads tip them the wink, O thus the bargain's made, ſir, Then arm in arm, ſo lovingly, to a dram ſhop take their way, ſir. Then back again to the barrack rooms, and all night with them lay, ſir.
A Captain's Miſs as we are told, who dreſſes fine and gay, ſir, ​To the Garriſon ſhe went each night, to hear the muſic play, ſir. For the ſcarlet coat and glittering ſword, is her chief delight, ſir, To drink a bottle of wine or two, and with them paſs the night, ſir.
Miſs Dorothy, with face well parch'd, ſhe cuts a tearing ſhow, ſir. With hat of blue and ſpencer green, you may her well know ſir; The widow alſo trips the green, dreſs'd in her widow weeds, ſir, And well ſhe treats the Highland lads,
for their noble deeds, ſr.
Poor ſailor Jack to the ſea he went to kill the Greenland whale ſir. He left his ſpouſe a guinea a month, to draw it ſhe did not fail ſir, Then lay with the ſoldier every night. a very pretty rig ſir, To get him money and ruffled ſhirts, ſhe ſold a good fat pig, ſir.
I think theſe wives are going mad, with an itching in their t---s, ſir, ​They ſport and play both night and day while their ouſbands hunt the whale, ſir, They even ſell their ſmocks and gowns to ſupport their evil way, ſir. Then chalk up a ſcore and play the w--re, what will their huſbands ſay, ſir.
They're worſe than the common girls, that do it for a living, ſir: They rob their huſbands night and day, to the ſoldiers they keep giving; They tip them money to do a job, I mean in the ſmall way, ſir, They treat them with brandy, rum or gin out of their monthly pay, ſir.
Theſe wanton jades they kiſs and toy all on the barrack beds, ſir, And horns long they clap upon their pour huſband's heads, ſir; They begin to rue when its too late, it grieves them very ſore, ſir, They're afraid when their husbands come they'll never own them more, ſir.
