of this quieter part the cab halted, and we descended before the door of No. 22, Roscommon Street. My precious box, with its Liverpool outfit, was carried into the house, and a second later I was in the arms of cheery Uncle Tom. In expectation of my coming there was quite a large party assembled. There was my irrepressible cousin, Mary Parkinson, with her husband, tall John Parkinson, the cabinet-maker, a brave, strong, and kindly fellow. There were also my cousins Teddy and Kate, and Gerard, Morris, and others. Cousin Mary was an independent young woman, and, like all women conscious of good looks, sure of her position in a small circle; but, important as she might be, she was but secondary to Uncle Tom, her father. He was the central figure in the gathering, and his sentiments were a law to his household. He stood in the forefront, of medium size, corpulent, rubicund, and so genial, it was impossible to withstand him. My word, laddy! thou art a fine boy! Why, I had

iod when under his observation. The Second brigade, Major D. Gober commanding, participated to a small extent in the action and behaved in a spirited manner, advancing with the line, without however encountering any great force of the enemy. Brigadier-General S. M. Walker, commanding the First brigade, speaks in high terms of the conduct of the Twentieth regiment Louisiana volunteers, Colonel Richard, and Thirty-seventh regiment Mississippi volunteers, Colonel Benton; also of Lieutenant-Colonel Gerard, commanding Thirteenth regiment Louisiana volunteers, for making a gallant dash at the enemy with his regiment; also of Lieutenant Morgan, Thirty-seventh Mississippi volunteers, who continued to lead his company although wounded. Colonel Fagan, commanding the Fourth brigade, speaks in high terms of the bearing of the First Arkansas and Second Tennessee, composing his command, and a section of Captain Ketchum's battery attached to his brigade.

Fountain-inkstands. Fountain-inkstands. Foun′tain-lamp. One with an elevated reservoir for supply, as in most forms of the Argand, — the student's lamp, for instance. Gerard used an air-pump to force oil from a low chamber to the burner of an Argand lamp, so as to avoid throwing a shadow upon surrounding objects. Fountain-pen. Foun′tain-pen. One which has an ink reservoir for the supply of the pen. Scheffer's fountain-pen, introduced in England about 1835, had a reservoir of ink in the holder, and the ink is admitted to the pen by the pressure of the thumb on a projecting stud. Parker's hydraulic pen, invented about the same time, had a piston

He rem. to Salisbury about 1640, and was living in 1663. George, H. C. 1647, may have been his son. Hall, May, a widow, is named by Mitchell as a member of his church. Her children were all adult at the time of her joining. But two of them are since joined to the Church of Concord, viz., John, and Susanna. Her son Stephen was living in 1668, then aged 28 or thereabouts. William, who d. at Concord 10 Mar. 1666-7, was another son. A John Hall of Cambridge had a share of the Shawshine lands in 1652, who may have been husband of Mary; but he was more probably her son. 2.

However, we did not stop to think much of such things, but hastened on to Bologna, where we were glad indeed to find ourselves again amidst the somewhat cheerless comforts of a huge Italian palazzo, turned into an inn. As soon as we were established we went out to see the city, with an appetite for sights somewhat sharpened by an abstinence of a full fortnight. . . . . The evening I spent with Mad. Martinetti, with whom, nineteen years ago, I spent the only two evenings I ever passed in Bologna. See Vol. I. pp. 166,167. She is not as beautiful as she was then, when she had recently sat to Gerard as the model for his Corinna improvisating on Cape Misenum; but she is still a fine-looking woman, and has the grace, sweetness, and intelligence of which time can never despoil her, and which have always made her house one of the most agreeable in Italy.
