From the 9th Thermidor to the 1st Prairial, the Mountain was treated as the Girondist party had been treated from the 2nd of June to the 9th Thermidor. Seventy-six of its members were sentenced to death or arrest. In its turn, it underwent the destiny it had imposed on the other; for in times when the passions are called into play, parties know not how to come to terms, and seek only to conquer.
My money is wasted, my house is burdened with mortgages, my peace of mind has gone plumb to the Devil. Two hundred and seventy-six thousand marks is what the young man owes me and my business friends. Yes—two hundred and seventy-six thousand marks, including interest and interest on the interest, all neatly noted down and signed up by the duly authorised parties.
Bennett caught his cap from his head and came toward her, exclaiming: "Miss Searight, I believe." And she, reaching her right hand over the left, that still held the reins, leaned from her high seat, shaking hands with him and replying: "Well Mr. Bennett, I'm so very glad to see you again. Where did you come from?" "From the City and from seventy-six degrees north latitude." "I congratulate you.
Our botanical terminology comes more from John Ray than from any other man. Ray adopted wherever possible the names given by Aristotle, so loyal, loving and true was he to the Master.

"Now, assuming that position to be correct, Mr Trimble and we can do nothing else, I think how far are we from the Penmarks, and how do they bear?" The master took his dividers, measured the distance, applied the instrument to the margin of the chart, and announced the distance "Seventy-six miles." "Good!" ejaculated the skipper. "And their bearing?"
Love must have lent its precious hearing too, for she vowed she loved to hear him speak her language. In the great Council Chamber of the Ducal Palace they looked at the seventy-six portraits of the illustrious succession of Doges with the one tragic vacant space, the missing portrait of Marino Faliero, the Rienzi of Venice, the man before his time.
Gladstone again appealed to his constituents, and, although nearly seventy-six years of age, spoke with an energy and force far beyond all his contemporaries. His attitude on the question of Dis-establishment drew back many wavering Scotch votes.
Readers may remember that the British government once offered a reward of twenty thousand pounds sterling for the best chronometer, and the prize was awarded to Harrison for a chronometer which varied two minutes in a sailing voyage from England to Jamaica and back. George Graham died in 1751, aged seventy-six years, universally esteemed as an ornament of his age and country.
I'm sick of this telephone-booth, anyhow; we'll present it to some nice newsboy and rent an apartment with a closet. This one's so small I don't dare to let my trousers bag. Besides, we've been under cover long enough, and I want you to meet the people I know. We can afford the expense now that I'm making thirteen hundred and seventy-six dollars and twenty-five cents a day."
Two days later, May 25, 1917, early in the evening, seventeen aeroplanes appeared over Folkestone on the southeast coast of England. They dropped about fifty bombs. As a result seventy-six persons were killed and 174 injured, most of them civilians, and a large percentage of these women and children.
