It was in vain that the solidly united capitalistic classes of the South threw themselves bodily into the fray—raped Mexico, filibustered in Cuba and Central America, encouraged slave-smuggling (see Note 4), and bullied the hesitating North; their economic doom was written even if militant Abolitionism had not appeared.

[Pg 334] CHAPTER VI THE BLACK NIGHT Kate's Narrative "I, Boulton Wemyss Taylor, Commander R. N., retired, being of sound mind in a dying body, do hereby make my last will and testament: "And do appoint the lady known as Madame Scotson my sole executress and trustee of all property which I may die possessed of; "To pay my just debts, and to administer the remainder on behalf of my grandson, James Taylor, "Until at his coming of age he shall receive the whole estate, if there is any; "Save only that I bequeath to Madame Scotson my sword and the Victoria Cross; "And with regard to burial, it is my will that no money whatever shall be spent, but that my body, wrapped in the flag by right of her majesty's commission, shall be consigned to the earth by my neighbors; that no friend of mine shall be allowed [Pg 335] to stand uncovered catching cold, or to wear unseemly black clothing at the service of the resurrection, or to toll bells which should be pealed when the soul passes to God, or to make pretense or parade of grief for one who is glad to go."

[54] and cleansing, and in other respects it answers nearly all the requirements of traffic except in two very important particulars—it becomes very greasy and slippery under certain conditions of the weather after having been laid any time, and it is an intolerable nuisance in any great thoroughfare, from the incessant din and clatter arising from the wheels of vehicles and the iron shoes of the horses striking upon it; so great is the noise in some thoroughfares thus

From this standpoint the whole subject of solution is deserving of fresh attention, as it appears highly probable that, just as Prof. Carnelley has shown by the use of my meta-chromatic scale, the colors of chemical compounds come under definite laws, which he has discovered and formulated in connection with Mendeleeff and Newlaud's periodic law, 2 so, likewise, may the solubility of an allied group of compounds, in regard to any given solvent under constant conditions of temperature, conform to similar laws; that, e.g. , the chlorides of H, Na, Cu, and Ag, in Mendeleeff's Group I., may vary in their solubility in water from an extreme of high solubility in the case of hydrogen chloride to the opposite extreme of comparative insolubility in the case of silver chloride.

In accordance with it, when in the case of a metal and an electrolyte, the two classes of motions are sufficiently unlike, chemical corrosion of the metal by the liquid takes place, and the voltaic current originated by inherent molecular motion, under the condition of contact, is maintained by the portions of motion lost by the metal and liquid during the act of uniting together.
