ear with the back part of the mouth, and called the Eustachian tube, after its discoverer, a learned Italian physician who died at Rome, 1574. A double catheter (c) is one whose outer tube has a long eye and an inner tube of smaller size, which discharges about the middle of the length of the eye of the larger one. If water be injected through the inner tube, it enters the cavity of the uterus or bladder, as the case may be, and passes out through the outer canal. Catheters. d is Sims's sigmoid catheter of hard rubber. Male and female catheters are described particularly by Celsus, first century A. D., and have been disinterred at Pompeii. One is of the modern sigmoid form; and one is shorter, and has a single curve. Cath′e-ter-gage. A plate with perforations of a graduated size, forming measures for diametric sizes of catheters.

e gave a motion of 5 inches to the tool-slide. In the application of the screw to the graduation of mathematical scales, it is employed to move a platform which slides freely and carries the scale to be graduated, the swing-frame for the diamondpoint being attached to some fixed part of the framing of the machine. Donkin followed up the matter in 1823 in devising correctional methods for Maudslay's devices, to which we cannot devote room. See Holtzapffel, pp. 651 – 655. In 1843, Mr. Sims applied self-acting apparatus to Troughton's circular dividing-engine, and an instrument of their manufacture may be seen at the Coast Survey building, Capitol Hill, Washington. It has been somewhat modified by Mr. Wurdemann, of Washington, and is now driven by a small turbine in the stand. See graduating-machine. Di-vid′ing-sink′er. （Knitting-machine.)

10′ of are by each revolution of an endless screw with which it gears. The screw is turned by a treadle, the connecting mechanism being such that it may be adjusted to turn a whole revolution or any desired part of a revolution by a movement of the treadle. For this invention he received a reward of £ 600 from the British government, on condition of executing the divisions on the instruments of other makers at a fixed price for each instrument. An instrument of this kind, by Troughton & Sims, is in the Coast Survey Building, Capitol Hill, Washington. Hindley, 1740, had invented a dividing-engine, upon which this of Troughton is said to have been based. It also served for cutting the teeth for clockwheels. See also dividing-engine. In addition to original graduation by the beam compass and engine, the dividing of a scale or a circle is performed (and this is the most common practice with regard to ordinary instruments) by means of a dividing-plate, which is itself origina

Sims's uterine repositor consists of a short metallic sounder, rotatable on a long shaft, through which runs a rod, by means oftended purpose with considerable success. The more prominent of these are constructed on the general plans of Ransome and Sims, or of R. W. Thomson of Edinburgh, who introduced the flexible rubber tire. James's (b, Fig. 4359), patented in 1867, ihas coupled drive-wheels, the tread of which consists of segments of a circle supported on separate spokes.

ke's colored battery, the whole under command of Colonel W. S. Brooks, Fifty-sixth United States colored infantry, moved from Helena, in the direction of Wallace's ferry, on Big Creek, with the view of ascertaining the designs and force of the enemy. At the same time one hundred and fifty men of the Fifteenth Illinois cavalry volunteers, under command of Major Carmichael, dropped down the Mississippi river on board a steamer, and landing at a point below Old Town, marched in the direction of Sims' ferry, on Big creek, to cooperate with Colonel Brooks. The infantry and artillery crossed Big creek at five A. M, on the twenty-sixth, and learned that the rebel General Dobbins was near there in force, having three regiments, estimated at fifteen hundred men. Colonel Brooks recrossed his command, Dobbins crossing lower down and before him, and attacked him in front and right flank with vigor. The infantry and artillery held their ground stubbornly for several hours, when Major Carmichae

of strife and blood, so be it. Each must follow the light which it is given him to discern, whether the blue of love or the red of war. Great coadjutors, like Wendell Phillips, Theodore Parker, and Dr. Henry I. Bowditch, were for forcible resistance to the execution of the law. So were the colored people. Preparations to this end went on vigorously in Boston under the direction of the Vigilance Committee. The Crafts escaped the clutches of the slave-hunters, so did Shadrach escape them, but Sims and Burns fell into them and were returned to bondage. From this time on Wendell Phillips became in Boston and in the North more distinctly the leader of the Abolition sentiment. The period of pure moral agitation ended with the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law. That act opened a new era in the movement, an era in which non-resistance had no place, an era in which a resort to physical force in settlement of sectional differences, the whole trend of things were making inevitable.

t without it; a Union pledged to pursue and recapture every man who has the heroism to escape from Southern bondage. Oppressed men will look to your memory as a token of God that there is hope for freedom on earth, --this of a Union that returned Sims and Long to their chains, and by which fugitives have been returned by dozens from Ohio and Pennsylvania!--because there is a people like you to feel its worth and support its cause. Europe has many things to learn from America. It has to learn of his comrades went to his grave, and the other came out blind; let him send his thoughts back again to that refuge which the Sultan gave him when he refused, at the hazard of his Crescent, to surrender to his neighbor State the Hungarian Crafts, Sims, Long, etc., who had escaped and claimed his protection. He would, if he be the man the world believes him, learn there that he never could consent to make Hungary what these United States are, and that he begs aid for his loved country too dear
