Again Malone found a reference to James's proclamation in favour of breeding silk-worms and the importation of young mulberry trees during 1609, in the expression: Now humble as the ripest mulberry That will not hold the handling. (III. ii. 79.) But even in Venus and Adonis Shakespeare had told how, in admiration of the youth's beauty, the birds Would bring him mulberries and ripe-red cherries; （1103.) and in Midsummer-Night's Dream, Titania orders the fairies to feed Bottom With purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries. (III. i. 170.) A third of these surmises is even more gratuitous. Chalmers calls attention to the repeated references in the play to famine and dearth, and supposes they were suggested by the scarcity which prevailed in England during the years 1608 and 1609. But the lack of corn among the people is one of the presuppositions of the story, to which Plutarch al

Under cover of the night the Federals returned to their fortified lines, where they were as strong as were the lines held by the Confederates in their front.

After the loss of Fort Harrison, General Lee became more anxious for his line on the north side, and rode out to witness the operations on that front, under the threatening of Butler's forces; and as our cavalry had made no report of the enemy cro

The conflicting accounts have been checked by the contemporary documents contained in the eight prison volumes of the Official Records of the Union and Aid for the men at the front—Christian commission The Christian Commission was second as a civilian agency of relief only to the Sanitary Commission. The scene above tells its own story. The box numbered 1103 and addressed to the United States Christian Commission suggests how numerous were its consignments to the front.

an East wood about 700 yards east of its northern end. Some of the brigades of D. H. Hill's left joined in the counter-stroke, and the Federals were driven to the shelter of their strong line of artillery in front of the North wood, which bounded the open fields to the northward. McLaws pushed his assault much too far, for his numbers were too light to hope for any great result, and the favorable ground enabled the enemy's artillery to punish severely all open exposures. Thus, McLaws lost 1103 out of 2893 carried into action in his four brigades,— Kershaw's, Semmes's, Barksdale's, and Cobb's, — an average of 39 per cent. These losses occurred mostly in the pursuit after Sedgwick, and mostly befell within two hours. At the same time that Sedgwick was driven back, Greene's men about the Dunker Church were also forced back to the Federal guns, leaving the Confederate line practically the same that it had been in the morning, although now held only by scattered fragments and almost ent

Wilkie's turn-wrest plow (British) has two complete moldboards and shares connected by bars to a rod, which form the axis on which they rotate when moved by an adjusting-rod between the handles. The same colter and landside answer for either the right or left hand plow. The rod extending to the colter. in moving the mold-board, moves also the colter one inch at the point so as to give it the proper position in the line of draft. See also Fig. 2569. page 1103.

Howard maintained the right of Congress to initiate the proceedings, and contended at length that the President's action was premature and illegal. Reverdy Johnson divided from his Southern associates and supported the resolution.

Congressional Globe, pp. 1068, 1098, 1103, 1104. There was a colloquy between Sumner and Johnson as to the power of a State to establish slavery— the former denying and the latter affirming it. The supporters of the resolution were determined to force a final vote on that day. Trumbull called upon senators, in order to dispose of the matter, to attend at a night session to hear all the senator from Massachusetts had to say, and then vote on his amendments.
