It was the preface to a mustering of the boys of ’61 who had worn the blue or the gray, this tragedy in the harbour of Havana, and, when the government gave permission, the boys of ’98 came forward many and many a thousand strong to emulate the deeds of their fathers—the boys of ’61—who, although the hand of Time had been laid heavily upon them, panted to participate in the punishment of those who were responsible for the slaughter of American sailors within the shadow of Morro Castle.
With its companion, it revolves round their common centre of gravity in eighty-one years, and hence it would seem that their conjoint mass is less than that of the sun. The star 61 Cygni is of the sixth magnitude. Its parallax was first found by Bessel in 1838, and is about one-third of a second. The distance from us is, therefore, much more than five hundred thousand times that of the sun.

Va. House Del. 61. Patrick Henry's second term as governor extended from the 28th of June, 1777, to the 28th of June, 1778: a twelvemonth of vast and even decisive events in the struggle for national independence, its awful disasters being more than relieved by the successes, both diplomatic and military, which were compressed within that narrow strip of time.
Andrews, where he died in March 1852, aged 61. This was the dinner at which the veil was publicly withdrawn from the authorship of Waverley; it took place on Friday, 23d February 1827, and a full account of the proceedings is given in the Life, vol. ix. pp. 79-84. Sir Walter parodies the conclusion of King Robert the Bruce's "Maxims or Political Testament." See Hailes' Annals, A.D. 1311. March 1.
On the 1st of February, we moved on to Gyra, another insignificant village. The air was cool, and the atmosphere clear. The temperature, at three in the morning, was 65 degrees, with no dew, the grass only 61 degrees°. As the sun rose, Parasnath appeared against the clear grey sky, in the form of a beautiful broad cone, with a rugged peak, of a deeper grey than the sky.
The syndicate was, moreover, to "exert all financial influence and make all legitimate efforts to protect the Treasury of the United States against the withdrawals of gold pending the complete performance of the contract." The replenishing of the Treasury by this contract was, however, only a temporary relief. By January 6, 1896, the gold reserve was down to $61,251,710.
She had therefore lost after the accident one-half of a double conception. Verrier has collected the results of traumatism during pregnancy, and summarizes 61 cases. Prowzowsky cites the instance of a patient in the eighth month of her first pregnancy who was wounded by many pieces of lead pipe fired from a gun but a few feet distant.
Oct. 13th; 61 holes, no record of the number of castings. After an interval of three years, Mr. Farrer, at my request, again looked at the concrete floor, and found the worms still at work.
"All those months and months, when you were at an unimaginable distance from me, actually and morally, and prospectively, do you think I had no chance to exercise myself in the lesson of submission? I fought out that problem, Daisy." "Were you in Washington the winter of '61?" I asked, changing the subject; for I could not bear it.
