In Baron von Mueller's extraordinary work on Select Extra-tropical Plants, with indications of their native countries, and some of their uses, these remarks occur: "Acacia aneura, Ferd. v. Mueller. Arid desert interior of extra tropic Australia. A tree never more than twenty-five feet high. The principal 'mulga' tree. Mr.
"Von Mueller," continued Heinrich, "killed Sinclair Spencer." "I deny it," exclaimed Miller. "Lies won't help," retorted Heinrich. "Miss Whitney, did you not attempt to rub off with your handkerchief from Spencer's blood-stained shirt, Captain von Mueller's finger print?" The question from that source was unexpected. Twice Kathleen strove to answer.
My first newspaper articles were printed in The Fatherland and the Illustrated Times; the very first was a notice of Paludan- Mueller's Fountain of Youth, in which I had compressed matter for three or four lectures; a commissioned article on Dante was about the next, but this was of no value.
In corroboration of Mueller's opinion we may also observe, that the "barbarous-tongued" is an epithet applied by Homer to the Carians, and is rightly construed by the ancient critics as denoting a dialect mingled and unpolished, certainly not foreign.
See Mueller's Dorians, vol. ii. Aristot. Pol., lib. ii., c. 9. Idem. These remarks on the democratic and representative nature of the ephoralty are only to be applied to it in connexion with the Spartan people.
But the glory of a picture fades like that of a flower. Contiguous to Mr. Mueller's studio was that of a young German artist, not long resident in Rome, and Mr. Akers proposed that we should go in there, as a matter of kindness to the young man, who is scarcely known at all, and seldom has a visitor to look at his pictures.
Mueller's ingenious supposition, that the tribute was in fact a religious ceremony, and that the voyage of Theseus had originally no other meaning than the landings at Naxos and Delos, is certainly credible, but not a whit more so than, and certainly not so simple as, the ancient accounts in Plutarch; as with mythological, so with historical legends, it is better to take the plain and popular interpretation whenever it seems conformable to the manners of the times, than to construe the story by newly-invented allegories.
This appeared like a trustworthy confirmation of the reports which had reached the colony, and created a great impression, so that the Government felt it a duty incumbent on them to make an effort to ascertain the truth of this statement, and Dr. Von Mueller's offer to lead an expedition was accepted.
John Mueller's unprincipled address formed, as it were, the turning-point of German affairs. Self-degradation could go no further. The spirit of the sons of Germany henceforward rose, and, with manly courage, they sought, by their future actions, to wipe off the deep stain of their former guilt and dishonor.
And this Mr. Clinton himself implies. Strabo, lib. ix. Mueller's Dorians, vol. i. Probably chosen in rotation from the different cities. And thus we learn, in effect, that while the hieromnemon had the higher grade of dignity, the pylagoras did the greater share of business. Milton, Hist. of Eng., book i.
