"These are very interesting considerations, Thorndyke," I remarked; "but I don't quite see their present application. Do you mean them to bear in any special way on the Blackmore case?" "I think they do bear on it very directly. I thought so while Mr. Britton was making his very illuminating remarks." "I don't see how.
Now we rode past myriads of decaying cadavers and skeletons, which filled the air with an insufferable stench. The broad plain which, a year ago, had teemed with animals, was nothing more than a dead, foul desert." Mr. Blackmore, another traveler, who went through Kansas at about the same time, says that he counted, on four acres of ground, no less than sixty-seven buffalo carcasses.
Many of his friends, indeed, hope for even better things from him as a dramatist; and Blackmore, for instance, hardly ever writes to him without repeating that, great as has been his success as a novelist, it will be nothing to his success when he gets possession of the stage. From a photograph taken specially for MCCLURE'S MAGAZINE, by George B. Cowen, Ramsey, Isle of Man. Mr.
But when I had heard his account, I began to suspect that there was something more than mere parallelism of method. It began to look as if his patient, Mr. Graves, might actually be Jeffrey Blackmore. "The coincidences were remarkable. The general appearance of the patient tallied completely with Mr. Stephen's description of his uncle Jeffrey.
There should be sympathy between the grower and his plants, such as is described by Blackmore in his Christowell; though in the following passage with consummate art he puts the words into the mouth of the sympathetic daughter of the amateur vine-grower, and gives the plant the credit of the first advance: "'For people to talk about "sensitive plants," she says, 'does seem such sad nonsense, when every plant that lives is sensitive.
Wilson's death was known some months before it occurred. "Now you must admit that this compound group of coincidences, all conspiring to a single end the enrichment of John Blackmore has a very singular appearance. Coincidences are common enough in real life; but we cannot accept too many at a time.
This wish the piety of Blackmore led him to gratify, and he produced "A New Version of the Psalms of David fitted to the Tunes used in Churches," which being recommended by the archbishops and many bishops, obtained a license for its admission into public worship; but no admission has it yet obtained, nor has it any right to come where Brady and Tate have got possession.
The entire property, with the exception of two hundred and fifty pounds, was, as before, bequeathed to Stephen, but the separate items were specified, and the testator's brother, John Blackmore, was named as the executor and residuary legatee." "I see," said Thorndyke. "So that your client's interest in the will would appear to be practically unaffected by the change." "Yes.
'Underneath, in Johnson's autograph, are these words: "It is great impudence to put Johnson's Poets on the back of books which Johnson neither recommended nor revised. He recommended only Blackmore on the Creation, and Watts. How then are they Johnson's? This is indecent." The poets whom Johnson recommended were Blackmore, Watts, Pomfret, and Yalden. Ante, under Dec. 29, 1778.
Dale Blackmore was made the new quartermaster, much to his delight, although Dale cared more for athletics than he did for military matters. Not one of the Ritter or the Baxter crowd got an office, much to their disgust. Baxter went off by himself to sulk, but Ritter and Coulter denounced their rivals openly. "I reckon votes were bought," said Ritter. "Sure they were bought," responded Coulter.
