THE HOMES AND BURIAL PLACES
OF DISTINGUISHED MEN.
NO. 111.
FROM THF. NOTES OF A LATF. TRAVELLER.
Sir Walter Scott.
Scott, the Belief actor of his country — His
Birth-place — Abbotsjord —Melrose .4 bbey
—Dryburgh Abbey— Scott’s grace — His
monuments.
No other literary man ever accomplished
so much for his country as SeoSt. He made
his country known, and advanced even her
material prosj>erity. He brought her before
the world as the struggles of her kings and
chieftains never could have done. lie made
her history attractive to others besides the
scholar, and told her legends by all the tire
sides in Christendom. Everywhere in Scot
land the traveller is surrounded by proofs of
what he has done. Highways follow the
track of his pen; pleasure-seeking enlivens
solitudes which have no attractions of com
merce, and many Highland families thiive by
the wanderings of strangers among the haunts
of his genius. Ilis fame was not built on
fancies,but on realities, which identified it with
the scenery and history of his country. Dante
made himself immortal by his visions of un
seen worlds; Tufso by bis discretion of the
struggle for a foreign soil and the holy sepul
chre; Aiiosto by pictures of chivalry and
knightly encounters in other lands, and Cer
vantes by tire examreruted adventures of a
hero. .Scott found his heroes and heroines
among the men and women of Scotland, and
Scottish story was the staple material of Lis
poetry and romance.
The birth-place of this great writer has
been destroyed. It can scarcely be said that
the ha and of improvement has worked about
the old locality, since the site is now only oc
cupied by a wood-yard and the corner of a
college. Other places in Edinburgh, known
as his homes at various times, have been pre
served, but their interest is lost in the greater
attractions of Abbotsford-jthat home of which
he was himst If the architect.
The position and external appearance of
Abbotsford disappointed me. 1 imagined it a
sort of castle upon an eminence, oveilooking
the valley of the Tweed, and seen from a dis
tance. To my surpiise, the house was not
visible until we were close upon it, and then
to reach it from the road side entrance, we
had to make quite a steep descent. I won
dered at the selection of this site. It does not
seem appropriate, nor does il command fine
views. Immediately about the house the
grounds are well cultivated and arranged with
taste, but elsewhere one can see the naturally
barren character of the soil. The eyes of the
stranger cannot look on all this with the vis
ion of the poet and antiquary, for whom each
bare hill and sandy knoll had some wild tra
dition or story of border warfare.
Though an appropriate residence for a man
of Scott’s tastes, the house seemed of too small
propoitions for the massive, feudal style of
architecture employed. There are castella
ted gateways, towers, turrets, battlements,
gables and armorial bearings, all apparently
some miniature representation of a stately
original. The desire to see the plan enlarg
ed, doubtless makes one fancy it more con
tracted than it really is.
Descending through the well wooded plan
tation which ski. ts the road side, we passed
under an appropriate gateway, to the pleas
ant court-yard in front of the house. Here
was the first thing which made me feel that 1
was really at the home of Scott. This was
the hn:ige of his dog Maida, lying at the right
of the entrance. All who know any thing of
Scott, remember his love for animals, and
this well wrought stone is eloquent in praise
of the kindly presence which once dwelt here.
On entering the house, one does not whol
ly lose the impression that all is on too small
a scale for the style attempted. The rooms
are just large enough for a generous poet’s
home, but do not seem sufficiently spacious
for groined ceilings and wainscoted walls
hung with armor and family escutcheons.—
Still every apartment is full of interest, and
while there it appears irreverent to suggest
that anything would look better if it were dif
ferent.
The most interesting rooms at Abbotsford
are the Armory, the Library, the apartment
in which Scott wrote, and that in which he
died.
Ihe first of these, the Armory, contains a
curious collection, just such an one as we
should suppose the author of Rob Rov and
the Heart of Mid-Lothian would make. There
are the pu - se and gun of the famous McGre
gor chieftain ; the keys of the old Tolboofh
of Edinburgh; the pistols found in Bona
parte’s carriage at Waterloo; trinkets from
Holyrood Palace, claimed to have been Mary
Stuart’s; and claymores and axes, swords
and gnns without number, bearing the names
of kings and clansmen, traitors, pretenders,
and patriots. Scott took great pai is to au
thenticate the traditions connected with most
of these articles.
Equally interesting,though perhaps equally
characteristic, is the Library. This is a noble
room, containing some twenty thousand vol
umes, many of them the gifts of their authors,
and others collected for reference and their
valuable historic lore.
Connected with the Library is the room in
which Scott did his writing. This is furnish
ed with a stair-case and gallery, by which he
could descend from his sleeping apartment
and write when all his gxests supposed him
to be in bed. Here is the chair in which he
sat and the desk on which he wrote, and one
could imagine him here sh u ing those fancies
which were to travel round the earth, win
ning smiles and tears. Here he had wo.ked
for fame, but in remembering that, one could
not forget that here too he had suffered. To
this place he was brought some two months
before his death, on one of those occasions
when a gleam of his former activity roused him
from the lethargy into which his faculties had
sunk. Placed in his old position, and with
paper before him, he asked to be left alone
that he might write. One of Ins daughters
handed him a pen, which he tried to hold, but
the palsied fingers refused to clasp it. The
body was no longer the agent of his spirit,
and he leaned back and wept: “Don’t let me
expose myself,” he said a little later, —“get me
to bed—that’s the only place.”
The day we visited Abbotsford was such
an one as that on which he died. Sunshine
brightened the green-sward and gave a sum
mer warmth to the air—the windows were
open—and though the Tweed was not visible
through thick trees, it could be distinctly head
rippling down the valley. Lockhart’s des
cription of the death scene was in my mind
while I stood in the apartment which had wit
nessed it.
From Abbotsford we returned to Melrose
and visited the Abbey* that beautiful ruin
which every one knows front the verse of Scott.
We were sorry not to see it “by moonlight,”
remem Wing his direction to those who would
“view it aright,” but we could not stay, and
our regret was somewhat diminished by as
surance from the guardian of the place that
“Sir Walter himself never 6aw it in the eve
ning.”
Dryburgh Abbey, the burial place of Scott,
was our next attraction. As we rode thither
from Melrose, we could not forget the day
when a long funeral train passed over the
same road, bearing the illustrious dead to his
rest. That was in the autumn, and the da}’
was cold and dark, and a mist gathered over
the hills,* but the population for miles around
came out to tender their last tribute of hom
age. There were men of every rank ; noble
men and their dependents, professional men
and common laborers, and from every hamlet
through which the train passed the villagers
came out dressed in black. Each household
seemed to have lost a fi iend.
As Dryburgh Abbey is on the left bank of
the Tweed, we were obliged to leave our car
riage and cross the river in a row-boat. Then
we had quite a long walk to the grave, bv
winding paths and through pleasant shady
lanes bordered \v ith hedges and trees; past
cottages whose poverty was made picturesque
by the blooming honey-suckles and roses
around them, and at last through an orchard
white with blossoms whose fragrance filled
the air. This brought us to the Abbey ruins,
over which a monastic stillness seemed to
brood. The sky roofs those old walls, grass
covers the pavement, and trees stand for col
umns in the aisles. Passing through one part
of the ruins after another, the visitor is at
length shown a portion of what was formerly
called the Lady ALL , a fragment composed
of two Gothic arches. Under one of these is
the burial place of Scott. On one side of him
rests his mother; on the other his wife, both
of whom died before him. These graves, ap
pi i.)ted by himself, seem fitly placed. The
t >mb he chose is no less expressive of the man
than the home he created. It is a true relic
of the past, covered with moss and ivy, and
shaded by trees vvhose shadows each day glide
across the green sward as if they were the
sj i its of the monks who used to tread these
aisles on their way to matins and vespers.
A von* plain gray stone, simply inscribed,
lies above the grave of Scott. Elsewhere he
has proud monuments, as at Edinburgh and
Glasgow and Selkirk. Above the place where
his ashes rest his name is sufficient.
M. E. F.
A Talc ot the Camp.
The advance guard of the army, on its way
to Monterey, had run out of the town of Ma
rin a considerable force of Mexicans, who had
left their dinners to be eaten by the Ameri
cans, when it camped for the rear to come up.
That afternoon a portion of the Texas caval
ry occupied a vacant lot near the Plaza.—
While drawing water at one of the wells,
which at first was supposed to be poisoned, a
dispute arose between two young men named
Barclay and Rogers. At sun-down, to Rogers’
surprise,he got a challenge, written on a piece
of dirty paper in lead pencil. Rogers had no
paper to write a reply on, but told the bearer
of the challenge that he had no intention of
wounding the feelings of his old messmate,
and begged he w ould accept his verbal expla
nation as an apology, which he did, and ex
pressed his full satisfaction at terminating the
difficulty so happily.
r l’he next day, however, Rogers was aston
ished at receiving another communication
from an officer in the artillery, stating that Ro
gers’ reply was not sati -factory to Mr. Barc
lay, and demanding a written apology. Ro
gers was on duty that day, but as soon as re
lieved he mounted bis horse and rode to the
tent of an infantry friend to consult him and
to ask his assistance in the affair. Rogers re
lated his story and told his friend that after
what had passed he never could consent to
give a written apology. “I fear then,” said
his friend, “a fight cannot be avoided; but
wait here a momemt, and I w ill ride over and
see your adversary’s second, Lieut. R., the ar
tillery officer.”
After the lapse of a half an hour, Rogers’
friend returned, and said: “Well, I fear the
meeting must take place: I can do nothing,
and besides, I regret to inform you, that from
the delicacy of my situation, I cannot act for
you in this matter; but Lieut. R. requests me
to ask you the favor to call on him to-morrow
as he thinks he will be able to arrange the
difficulty.”
The brave and generous Lieut. R. was the
pink of chivalry of the American army. He
was always appealed to by his brother officers
in affairs of honor, and his decision was re
ceived as final. The next day Rogers gallop
ed to Lieut. R.’s tent, and was kindly receiv
ed. After a glass of wine they talked the
matter over, but could not ag.ee on settling
the difficulty.
“it is strange,” said Lieut. R., “\ T ou admit
you intended no offence, andhave said so, why
not put it in writing?”
“For the very cause,” replied Rogers, “that
the verbal explanation was deemed satisfac
tory and accepted, and now I should feel it a
dishonor to be forced into a measure which I
conceive not warranted or necessary.”
“ Well, then,” replied Lieut. R., “name the
hour and we will meet you—weapons, 1 sup
po.e, pistols.”
“No,” replied Rogers, “double-barrelled
shot guns—we are'Loth good at it—thirty
steps; hut I have no friend to act for me.—
Now I am sure you w ill not compromise the
honor of either of us, so act for us both.”
“I will,” said Lieut. R. after having reflect
ed a moment, “on one condition—that you
will obey me implicitly in every particular. 1
pledge you my honor as a soldier, not to com
promise you in the least particular, and all 1
ask of you is, to pledge me your word that you
w ill obey me to the letter.”
“Agreed,” said Rogers, “you are the friend
of us both, and there can be no dishonor in
any action you may take.”
“Well,” said Lieut. R. “meet us on the bank
of the river, (the Rio Alamo,) a quarter of a
mile above camp, to-night at nine o’clock, for
the moon will then be some hours high, and
we will there settle the affair.”
Thus they parted. Twilight soon spread
her gray mantle over the earth, the sky was
bespangled by a few bright stars, while the
watch fires for miles peered through the gloom
and shed a lurid light around thousands of
tents w hich w’ere stretched for some three
miles from Marin to the bank of the river.
The hum of thousands of voices and the
stir of busy preparations for the coming mor
row iuid gradually grown fainter and fainter,
v, Idle the moon poured down a flood of silver
light on the scene as the appointed hour grew
near. Rogers-mounted his horse, passing out
side the lines, and rode to the appointed spot.
His adve;sary, Barclay, and Lieut. R. were
already on the ground. Dismounting, Rogers,
with his gun on his shoulder, approached the
latter, who whispered in his ear* “mind wha*
1 say, and obey me implicitly ; you may be
sure all w ill be right.”
The distance was stepped off, and the par
ties was stationed at their places. It was a
loyely night, the moonbeams danced on the
rippling w ater, and as they trickled on their
way, their sweet murmur was heard, deeply
impressive with the stillness of the hour.—
i here was a solemn beauty about the sur
rounding scene which seemed to call forth the
noblest, the most philanthropic feelings of man.
A sentiment of sorrow and regret seemed to
prevail that the meeting had taken place—
but it was then too late. The barrels of their
weapons glistened in the silver light, and in a
few moments they were to risk the chance of
being hurried into eternity, while one gave
the other or received from him satisfaction
for his wounded honor. They had been placed
at the present, when Lieut R., walking off at
a distance midway between them, said, “Gen
tlemen, are you ready ?” “Yes,” was the res
ponse of both. At the next word, which each
thought was big with the fate of one or both
of them, to their surprise the voice of Lieut.
R. was heard ringing on the air: “Advance
fifteen paces.” They accordingly advanced
until they met. “Shake hands,” said Lieut.
R. in the most imperative tone. The com
batants stood bew ildfred, half doubting, but
mechanically extending their hands one to
the other. “Now*,” said Lieut. R., “I de
clare this difficulty honorably settled; whoever
dares to question it must be responsible to me.
Gentlemen, you are friends; mount your
horses.”
The parties again grasped each others hand,
and with a look of gratitude to their mutual
friend mounted and rode with him to his tent.
The night ended in a scene of joy and revelry
whi. h twined their hearts together forever.
The memory of Lieut. R., who shortly after
wards fell at Monterey, and his noble charac
ter, are cherished in a thousand hearts. Os
this gallant American officer it was said that
no man was his superior; his word was law
among his friends, and which no man dared
to question.

Useful Recipes and Suggestions.
BY 11. D. WHITE.
Remember that at all seasons of the year,
but more especially while your animals are
kept on grain, succulent and fermentable food,
the supplying a liberal allowance of salt is
indispensable to health. Boxes containing it,
should be kept constantly where they can
have free access to them, and partake ot the
sanitive luxury whenever they are disposed
to do so.
A late French author recommends potatoes,
three-fourths boiled, as a substitute for soap
in washing hands. The use of this prevents
chapping in cold weather and retains the skin
soft and healthy.
Ifyou manufacture your own candles, im
merse the wicks in lime-water, in which a lit
tle nitre, ( sal'-pelre ,) has been dissolved, and
dry them before dipping. The light from
such is much clearer, and the taliow will not
“run.”
In burnishing Britannia ware, rub the sur
face gently in the first place with a woolen
cloth, dipped in sweet oil; then wash in tepid
suds, rub with soft leather and whiting. Ar
ticles burnished in this way retain their lustre
till the last, if carefully used.
Brass kettles, before using, should be care
felly cleansed with salt and vinegar.
Woolen goods should be washed in very hot
suds, but never “rinsed.” Tepid water causes
them to shrink.
It is a bad plan to put new earthen wars in
to boiiing hot water; it should first be plung
ed into cold water, and placed over a fire
where it will heat moderately to the boiling
point, and then be permitted to cool again.—
This process greatly promotes the toughness
and durability of common earthen ware,
which is generally objectionable for domestic
uses on account of its fragility. The glazing
on this kind of ware will remain uninjured by
the boiling if a handful of rye or wheat bran
be added to the water, and prepare it to with
stand successfully, and for a long time, the ac
tion of acid or salt.
Suet will be kept perfectly sweet and good
the year round, if finely chopped and packed
closely in a jar, with the top covered with
molasses.
Beds should be filled with barley straw in
preference to rye, oat, or wheat straw, when
obtainable. The husks of Indian corn, care
fully selected, and slit into shreds, make an
excellent article for beds. They are durable,
clean, not very likely to absorb moisture, and
are not objectionable on account of making
dirt.
Never permit your domestics to take up
ashes in wooden vessels, or to deposite them,
when removed from the hearth, in places
where they will come in contact with com
bustible matters.
A few ounces of soda will soften a hun
dred gallons of the hardest water. For wash
ing it possesses a marked superiority over pot
or pearl ash, giving a delicate whiteness to the
linen, without the slightest injury.
Gather up all the premature droppings from
your apple, pear, peach and plum trees, and
either burn or feed them to swine, or other
domestic animals. The immature fruit be
neath your apple trees contains the cause of
the injury you sustain in your crops, in the
form of a small worm, and should therefore
be destroyed at once. By fencing fruit orch
ards, and depasturing them w ith swine during
the months of June and July or even till the
close of August, if the fruits are of late varie
ties, the future health and productiveness of
your fruit orchards will be protected and in
creased.
Horse radish may be had all winter by ta
king the roots from the soil when at perfec
tion, grating them and placing the article in
jars or bottles filled with vinegar. The air
should be thoroughly excluded by corking,
and covering the nozzels with melted sealing
wax. It is a superb article.
Green peas may be had from one year’s
end to another, by gathering them when full,
shelling and drying them thoroughly in the
shade, hut where there is a fair circulation of
air. When dried, place them in air tight ves
sels, closely secured by corking, and put them
away for use. Beans, green corn, and other
vegetables may be preserved in the same way.
Currants and gooseberries picked when green,
carefully divested of their stems and blossom
ends, and packed in tight bottles, securely
protected from the air, will retain thier sound
ness and flavor unimpaired for years.
Boil and skim j’our molasses before using
it When applied for culinary purposes, this
is a prodigious improvement. BoSrng tends
to divest it of its unpleasant, strong flavor,
and renders it almost equal to honey. When
largo quantities are made use of it is conveni
ent to prepare several gallons at a time.
Use hard soap to wash your clothes, if you
can obtain that of good quality, and soft soap
in cleaning wood. In the wash room, so t
soap wastes a good deal, and for this reason
is less economical than hard.
If you keep hens, and desire to render them
a source of profit, as well as luxury, see that
they are liberally supplied with flesh. The
fish taken in ordinary streams, afford an ex
cellent and most grateful substitute for the
flesh of animals, and can generally be obtain
ed in almost any desirable quantity, and at
comparatively 6mall expense. When ae large
the hen is camiverous, and procures much of
her daily food from the resources of the insect
world; devouring almost indifferently, and
with little discrimination, all such insects,
bugs, flies and worms, as fall in her way.—
These promote fecundity, and in situations
where she is deprived of the privilege of cater
ing for herself, either these, or some adequate
substance, in the form of more solid viands,
must be supplied, or she will cease to lay.—
Neglect of this is the principal cause why
hens, closely confined, a e so generally com
plained of as unprofita’ e.
Getting off Easy.— One of the States
passed an act that no dog should go at large
without a muzzle, and a man was brought up
for infringing the statute. In defence, he al
ledged that his dog had a muzzle. “How’ is
that?” quoth the Justice. “Oh!” said the de
fendant, “the act says nothing of where the
muzzle should be placed, and as I thought
the animal would like the fresh air, I put the
muzzle on his tail.”

In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit
ed States,, for the propr.etors beg leave to submit
the following statement of Ur. de Granenned, its discov
eier and inventor:
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed
this medicn c tor the lart twenty-two years, in all forms
of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, w ith a success un
paralleled in the annals ot medicine ; and he has no hes
itation in saying,, that it i* decidedly the most valuable
remedy ever yet discoveied for the reliefof this most pain
fill and dutiessing malady.
His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca
ses, in which it has leen used within the above named
penod, and m no single instance has it come to his knowl
edge, ol it- having failed to effect a cuie when persereved
m. A, any of theca es werefiom fourto ten ye.,rs stand
ing ; and what may appear yet more iemarkab!e and ex
traordinary, is, that when the patent has teen once re
lieved, tho di; ease is permanently cured, lemams so, not
a sol .t ary instance having teen reported to him of its re
turn.
! All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar
tial and patent trial, for the results he entertains no ap
prehension.
Up to the time ot this discovery, the undersigned had
1 well tud.cd the origin, progress, and character of this dis
case,and is well assuied, had consulted every author on
its treatment, who had written or teen trun.-lated into
the Engfo-h language, and had used all the remedies of
any notoriety then m vogue with the prole-*ion, with
however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu
man.ty.
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Sui goons of our own, and oi every otiier
country. But the undersigned flatters him;elf that his
I lemedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth
ers have failed, and that lie shall have 1 een an humble in
strument in the hands of God, of iei.eving the human
family of a va.-t amount of suffering.

Col. A. B. Kagan —Sir It afford- me great pleasure
to I e able to hear te timony to the efficacy and viitucs
of Ur. de GraJ/enncds Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with,
what I teheved to te, and what eminent Physicians of
this c.ty pronounced, Rheumatic gout,for eve al winters
past I have teen confined to my room and bed nearly all
the time. In January la;t, 1 had an attack a- violent if
not move o than usual, which pro trated me for about
th ee weeks; on your reccommendation I commenced
the u. eof this Liniment. (With I must confe-s hut little
faith). Its effects we; e a tonishing and decidedly bene
ficial from its first application. In a few days my back,
wrists ancles were entirely ielieved (ar.df so contin
ue) of all sorere pains, and the swelling’s reduced,
with the u. eof less than one bottle. 1 have t een in the
discharge ol my ordinary business ever since.
I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most
efficacious remedy for this disease which I have ever met
with. And mo. t cheerfully recommend its u.e to all
who may he afflicted with it.
Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES.

Hheumati m. During tho spring of 1344 I was afflicted
with a very eve e attack of Inflammato-y Rheumati-m.

j and u.-ed in similar ca e?,aided by medical ndvii -. until
j Septemhe . 1845. with no sati-'eetoiy result whatever:
i I was the - 1 induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try
vour Liniment, as something r ow, and which had cured
him : and in o- e month, fiom the time I commenced the
application, I was we ! i, and clear of the Rbermatism as
I ever was, and have continued so to this time.
Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON.

Dear Sir—About the first of April la.-t, I came to Co
lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advi cd to
call on you, as having a reme ly that would afford me
speedy rel’ef. Iwa taker down in January lat, with
a violent attack of Rheumati nr in rearly all my joints
•o badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ;
nor could I ascend or descend step s , or pull off my
clothe-without assi lance. My right arm and hand
we e r early useless ;th.c fingers contacted and swollen;
the right ki ee swollen and itiffei el, so that I could not
bend it but very btt’e. Up to the 1t of April, I was all
the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu
matic Linime’ tmy limbs th.ee times, and was the i ext
morning enabled to de-cend a long fight of steps. With
out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could
al o bend my kree and bring it up to the chair, which
the previous day, I crtfld not have done if my life had de
fended on it. 1 could al 011 e. open and bend my fing
ers, wich was an imbosubility the day befoe. Iroe in
the morning from my u ed entiiely relieved of pain. I
u;ed 01 ebottle and ar. eight ounce vial of your Rheu
matic Linimei t. and in ten days, I was relieved. I
would not have I §en in the condition which I had been,
te - ’ dnysbefo e I called on you,for any nmoutof morey
which could be given me ; for what i- life worth when
in con.-taut pun and mi cry! I conside your Rheumat

your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at
tacked in one joint of my finger, la t winter, with acute
Rheumatism, and haying u edmany of the unnumbered

6i !P el Y rel.eved.and tf.e relief was manife tor sen

one of thetno t valuable remed.es that haseverbeen dis

Dr. de Graflenried—Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in sav
ing, I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheu
matism, that he could not raise his hand to his head, and
had nearly 10-t the uof bis arm. I used the fourfh of
a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved
him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for
the cure of Rheumatism.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirement-, will compare favorably
with the most di. Anguished in our country. The medi
cal faculty con-titiites an anomaly in this or any other
country—all of them are able lectureis and the be. t ot
teachers.
Tho-c who contemplate our geographical position,
and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as
to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the
kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
we deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many students
l relative to the place of studying medicines: tho e who
; intend practicing among the diseases of the West and
; South should certainly educate them: elves at a school
whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
i diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of
this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs
well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal
organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
