lp or the paper, previous to sizing, with solution of prussiate of potash. Sir Wm. Congreve, 1819. A colored layer of pulp in combination with white layers. Priating upon one sheet and covering with an outer layer plain or water-marked. Glynn and Appel, 1821 Mixing a copper salt in the pulp and afterward adding an alkali or alkaline salt to produce a copious precipitate. The pulp is then wished, made into paper and dipped in a saponaceous compound. Stevenson, 1837. Incorporating quantity was formerly increased by the natural drainings of 12,000 acres of highlands, amounting to 40,000 cubic feet per minute in a rainy season. By catch-water drains this is now intercepted and carried off by a special channel and outlet. Glynn, C. E., England, makes the dip of his float-boards 5 feet, the axis 5 feet above the level of the outfall, the rate 6 feet per second at the circumference.

dear, and even more Southern in its appeal. He found nothing within to answer to the wild and rugged majesty of the mountains. He felt no expansion of the soul in viewing the limitless plains of Texas. The broad sand-flats of Florida roused only a longing for the Georgia hills. Indeed, the only scene which called forth a love of broad, free places was the long and often viewed marshes at Brunswick, Georgia, which will go down in American literature in the eloquent and musical Marshes of Glynn. It remains true, however, that his love for nature was a delicate and passionate love, the love of an attentive and scrupulous observer of leaves and plants and the thousand minute details of the summer woods. So personal was the solace and uplifting of nature that he addressed her various forms with terms of endearment, more warm than Tabb, yet precisely like St. Francis of Assisi. He sings of the fair cousin Cloud, the friendly, sisterly, sweetheart leaves. Of himself it was true that

2, Lowell until 1891, Whittier and Whitman until 1892, and Holmes until 1894. Compared with these men the younger writers of verse seemed overmatched. The National Ode for the Centennial celebration in 1876 was intrusted to Bayard Taylor, a hearty person, author of capital books of travel, plentiful verse, and a skilful translation of Faust. But an adequate National Ode was not in him. Sidney Lanier, who was writing in that year his Psalm of the West and was soon to compose The Marshes of Glynn, had far more of the divine fire. He was a bookish Georgia youth who had served with the Confederate army, and afterward, with broken health and in dire poverty, gave his brief life to music and poetry. He had rich capacities for both arts, but suffered in both from the lack of discipline and from an impetuous, restless imagination which drove him on to over-ambitious designs. Whatever the flaws in his affluent verse, it has grown constantly in popular favor, and he is, after Poe, the be

unted and armed with minie rifles, and Captain Miller's company, about 30 mounted and the rest on foot, armed with flint-lock guns. He also had a rifled 4-pounder, and a badly mounted 24-pounder, which broke down during the engagement and which he had to spike and abandon. His force, on the morning of the 16th, was 300 militia, parts of two regiments commanded by Colonel Albert of Shenandoah and Major Finter of Page; 180 of McDonald's cavalry, Captain Henderson's men, under command of Lieutenant Glynn; Captain Baylor's mounted militia, about 25 men, and Captain Hess', also about 25 men. Captain Avirett had charge of the rifle gun and Captain Cornfield of the 24-pounder. Ashby attacked in three divisions, drove the enemy from their breastworks on Bolivar heights, without loss to himself, as far as lower Bolivar; there the 24-pounder carriage broke down, much to his detriment. Its detachment was then transferred to the rifle gun, and Captain Avirett was sent to Loudoun heights wit

ity of this House upon the popular voice, said Charles Jenkinson, pleading for the absolute independence of Parliament. The discontents that are held up as spectres, said Thomas de Grey, brother of the Attorney General, are the senseless clamors of the thoughtless, and the ignorant, the lowest of the rabble. The Chap. XLII.} 1770. Jan. Westminster petition was obtained by a few despicable mechanics, headed by base-born people. The privileges of the people of this country, interposed Serjeant Glynn, do not depend upon birth and fortune; they hold their rights as Englishmen, and cannot be divested of them but by the subversion of the Constitution. Were it not for petition-hunters and incendiaries, said Rigby, the farmers of Yorkshire could not possibly take an interest in the Middlesex election of representatives in Parliament. But supposing that a majority of the freeholders had signed these petitions without influence and solicitation; the majority, even of this class, is no bet

t six interrogatories to Lord Mansfield by way of opening the debate, which were of a character so direct and so searching, that the latter declined answering them, and thus fairly backed out. In the House of Commons, the great lawyer, Sear-grant Glynn, offered a resolution appointing a committee to inquire into the "administration of criminal justice and the proceedings of the judges in Westminster Hall, particularly in cases relating to the liberty of the press, and the constitutional power a year, took the side of the Ministry, and Burks that of the people. Singularly enough, Fox was, twenty years after, the very man who settled the whole matter on the popular side, by his bill for regulating the law in cases of trial for libel. Mr. Glynn's resolution was voted down. The hearing of the arguments upon the motion in arrest of judgment and the motion to compel the defendant to show cause why the verdict should not be entered up according to the legal import of the words, came
