Here the mnemonic system of "places," supposedly invented by Simonides, is explained obscurely. Even more obscure is its applicability to Hawes's subject. Of the 108 seven-line stanzas which Hawes devotes to rhetoric, 20 praise the poets; 7 define rhetoric; 13 explain inventio; 12, dispositio; 40, elocutio; 8, pronuntiatio; and 8, memoria. "Elocusyon," says Hawes, "exorneth the mater."
Hawes into the cells with us." "Why do you do that, pray?" "We conceive that nothing would be gained by encouraging the refuse of mankind to make frivolous complaints against their best friend." Here the speaker and his mates wore a marked air of self-satisfaction. "Well, sir! has the present examination in no degree shaken your confidence in Mr. Hawes's discretion?" "Not in the least."
"We have found the chaplain all you described him. Discipline is impossible with such a man; here is an order for his suspension." Hawes's eyes sparkled. "We will enter it into the book, meantime you are to see it executed." Hawes went out, but presently returned. "He won't go, gentlemen." "What do you mean by he won't go?" said Williams.
A bar of light brought out the whiteness of a clump of lilies in the Hawes's yard: and farther down the street Carrick Fry's Rochester lamp cast its bold illumination on the rustic flower-tub in the middle of his grass-plot. For a long time she continued to lean in the window.
For the contrast of a man telling another who was in pain not to make a row, and the next moment making an abominable row himself for no better reason, was funny. For all this occurred ten times quicker in action than in relation. Mr. Hawes's conversion to noise came rapidly in a single sentence, after this fashion: " you! hold your infernal noise. Oh! Augh! Ah! E E! E E! Aah! Oh!
When he is kicked out you will be my servant again, I dare say." The words and the tone were not ill-humored. It was not Hawes's cue to quarrel with a turnkey. Evans looked suddenly up, for his mind was relieved by Mr. Hawes's moderation; he looked up and saw a cold, stern eye dwelling on him with a meaning that had nothing to do with the words spoken. Small natures read one another.
THE inexperienced in jails would take for granted that the death of Josephs gave Mr. Hawes's system a fatal check. No such thing. He was staggered. So was Pharaoh staggered several times, yet he always recovered himself in twenty-four hours. Hawes did not take so long as that. A suicide was no novelty under his system.
Hawes's eye is on them?" "Hum! they certainly seem to stand in awe of Mr. Hawes." Hawes. "But, sir! you see how bitter the chaplain is against me. Where he is I ought to be if I am to have fair play." "Certainly, Mr. Hawes, certainly! that is but fair." Mr. Eden. "What are you in for?" Prisoner. "Taking a gentleman's wipe, gentlemen." Mr. Eden. "Have you been often punished?" Prisoner.
Hawes's man-press, and as attempts have been made to impose on the inexperience of the public and represent the man-press as restriction not torture, I will shortly explain why sooner or later all the men that were crucified in it ended by shamming. Were you ever seized at night with a violent cramp?
The right of this line was composed of Hawes's and Greene's Virginia regiments under General Huger; the left of the first and second Maryland regiments, the former under Gunby, the latter under Ford the whole commanded by Colonel Williams. In the center of the last line was placed the remainder of the artillery.
