See lightning-arrester; Lightningrod. Par′buck-le. A double sling a made of a single rope, for hoisting or lowering a cask or gun. A means for raising or lowering (b). The bight of the rope is placed round a post; the cask, spar, or gun lies in the double loop. This plan is adopted in Captain Cunningham's mode of furling sails by rolling the yard. The latter lies in the bight of the chain, and is rolled as it is raised or lowered, the yard-arms resting in hoops slung from the lifts. Parbuckle. Par′cel. （Nautical.) A wrapping of tarred canvas on a rope to prevent chafing. It is cut in long, narrow strips, well tarred, and made up into rolls before commencing to lay it on the rope. Usually, the rope is wormed, then parceled, and then served. See under those heads. Wo

sewing the breadths together. Goring; cutting out the wedge-shaped pieces where the sail narrows. Tabling; putting on the strengthening strips around the edge, where the cringles are inserted. Sewing on the reef, belly, lining, and buntline bands. Roping; sewing on the bolt-rope. Marling on the clews and foot-rope. Many attempts have been made to avoid the necessity of going aloft to set or furl sails, which is a dangerous duty, especially in stormy and wintry weather. Cunningham's patent (English) is for a yard, rotated by ropes from the deck, so as to wind on or unwind the sail in furling or setting. The plan involves a vertical division of the sail, and has not been generally adopted. Fig. 4548 is a course or lower square-sail.

. Hitner, Rockbridge Battery) always kept them on hand; so did I. One winter I had a library of books, which I gathered from different places, mostly religious; it comprised about fifty volumes. Upwards of one hundred religious papers were received a week; perhaps one hundred and fifty. Colonel J. T. Brown (our colonel until January, 1864,) was a sincerely pious member of the Episcopal Church; Colonel R. A. Hardaway, of the Methodist; Captains Smith and Dance, Lieutenants Blair, Read, Cunningham, Bagby, were active Christians. The gallant Colonel R. M. Stribbling experienced a change of heart, I hope, while major of our battalion; soon after he left us to take command of General Dearring's old battalion, he made a public profession of religion. Our officers, without a single exception, upheld my hands in every way possible. Our quarter-master (Captain Christian) used to lend me his wagons to haul logs to build our chapels. We built one each winter of my connection with the bat

romotion of his son, J. Q. A., in the diplomatic line. Washington advises it, on the ground that he has already been appointed by government; and it is now proposed only to advance him another step. At the same time, he commends J. Q. A. in a way that does my heart good. Washington, in this letter, alludes to his own conduct on these subjects. Perhaps you have seen the letter. I do not know that it is preserved by Sparks. It probably is; at any rate, it is to be found in the renowned Cunningham correspondence, the publication of which is the most barefaced violation of confidence that I know of. See the last number of the London and Westminster Review for articles on Taylor's Statesman April, 1837, Vol. XXVIII. pp. 1-32. and Fonblanque's England under Seven Administrations, Idem, pp 65-98. both of which touch upon some of your topics.

Appendix. McNeill and his Rangers. Capt. John Hanson McNEILL, whose name was one of the most famous in the Upper Potomac region during the war, was born in the vicinity of Moorefield, Hardy county, in 1815. The family was established in the valley of the South Branch by his grandfather, Daniel McNeill, who immigrated from Pennsylvania about the close of the Indian border war in Virginia. In January, 1837, he married Jemima Harness Cunningham, and a year later removed to the vicinity of Paris, Ky., where he resided six years, occupying himself with stock-raising, and becoming a Knight Templar in the Masonic order. He then, on account of his wife's health, spent four years in his native State, after which he removed to Boone county, Mo., where he was active in the organization of agricultural associations, and was prominent in their meetings. After six years in Boone, he settled in Daviess county, his home at the beginning of trouble in 1861. In this county he was a local min
