Viirk Critic and Good Literature said: "This tale deserves thehighest compliment that could be paid to it: that of Being atthe same time a model of literary art and at once a tribute andan encouragement to human nature."

His "Three Good Giants," a translation, with an expurgatingpen from Rabelias, ran the gamut of criticism, and ended byreaching a dignity not known in its history. For the first timeit found a welcome in American homes.

In 1890 Mr. Dimitry came South to aid his friend, JamesRedpath, in the preparation of data for the memoir of Jefferson Davis, which the two wrote in collaboration with Mrs.Jefferson Davis.

Mr. Dimitry's last work was the "Confederate Military History of Louisiana," a work of great literary and historical importance, although its author modestly styled it "only a rapidsummary" of the scenes of the Civil War in which Louisianiansbore part. He also wrote epitaphs on Henry Watkins Allen,ludgar Allan Poe, Charlotte Temple, the Confederate Flag,Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis, Albert Sidney Johnston.

John Dimitry was borne to rest by his devoted comrades oftlie Association Army of Tennessee, of which he was an honored member. The tomb of that Association is surmounted byan exquisite equestrian statue of Gen. Albert Sidney Johpston.and also contains a marble tablet at the farther end of the archon which is engraven in golden letters John Dimitry's matchless tribute to that great soldier, to which Mr. James Randallreferred as "an immortal composition—a prose poem incomparable," and Lord Palmerston pronounced "a modern classic,Ciceronian in its language." It was highly appropriate, therefore, that he should rest in that sacred place, and in the presence of that immortality which he made for the tomb, for him-s( if, and for his comrades.

At the regular monthly, meeting, October, 8, 1901, of CampNo. 2 of the Army of Tennessee, the following resolutions wereintroduced by Capt. James Dinkins, and seconded by A. C.McLellan, Col. Phil H. Thompson, and Col. Lewis Guion:

"Resolved: i. That the remains of our late comrade, JohnDimitry, which repose in the Association's tomb, shall be undisturbed for all time, and that his name be engraven on thedoor of the vault,

"2. That we pay this honor to his memory in grateful appreciation no less for his conduct as a soldier and the loyalty hebore his comrades than for his brilliant achievements as alitterateur, which made the fame of the Confederate soldier ahousehold word in all civilized lands, and whose matchless tribute to Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston makes the name of JohnDimitry immortal."

The tomb of the Association Army of Tennessee contains afew vaults with copper doors, designated as the final restingplace of distinguished members. Up to this time only two havebeen occupied: one by Gen. Beauregard, and the other byCharles Dreux. In accordance with the above resolutions, allthat is mortal of John Dimitry will rest, forever undisturbed,in one of these "honor vaults."

It was fit that he should have been so honored, for, in thewords of the eloquent tribute to his memory by his friend,James R. Randall, he was: "Soldier, scholar, and gentleman,loyal to every trust and every duty to God and his neighbor."

Who fell at Shiloh, Tenn.,On the sixth day of April, A.D.Eighteen hundred and sixty-two.A man tried in many high offices

And critical enterprises.And found faithful in all;

His life was one long sacrifice of interest to conscience;And even that life, on a woeful Sabbath,

Did he yield as a holocaust to his country's need.Not wholly understood was he where he lived;But in his death his greatness stands confessed

In a people's tears.Resolute, moderate, clear of envy, yet not wanting

In that finer ambition which makes men great and pure;In his honor, impregnable;In his simplicity, sublime;

No country e'er had a truer son, no cause a nobler champion;No people a bolder defender, no principle a purer victim.

Than the dead soldierWho sleeps here.

The cause for which he perished is lost.The people for whom he fought are crushed.The hopes in which he trusted are shattered.

The flag he loved guides no more the charging lines;But his fame, consigned to the keeping of that time which.Happily, is not so much the tomb of virtue as its shrine.Shall, in the years to come, fire modest worth to noble ends.

In honor now our great captain rests;A bereaved people mourn him;

Three commonwealths proudly claim him;And history shall cherish him

Among those choicer spirits who, holding their conscienceunmixed with blame.

Have been, in all conjunctures, true to themselves, their people,and their God.

MEMORIALS.

BY JOHN WMITRY, OF NEW ORLEANS.

Behind this Stone is laidfor a season

Albert Sidney Johnston,A general in the army of the Confederate Stales,

Jefferson Davis.Born in Kentucky June 3,18)8;

Died in New Orleans December 6, 1889., A citizen of Mississippi,

He was the first and only President of the SouthernConfederacy,

Established at Richmond, in the State of Virginia.For her highest office, the South, seeking a leader

In the war,The thunder of whose guns would shake the land.

Chose him from among her fittest men.A majestic orator; in character firm; in judgment sound;

In purpose resolute;A profound student of the Constitution of the Union,

From his seat jn the National SenateHe hurled, in its august name, unheeded warnings

To that great body.In Richmond,

From 1861 to 1865,Surrounded by armies, assailing and defending.

He was at once a statesman, faithful to every trust.Guiding with wisdom the affairs of his people;

And a soldier, following with trained eye the movementsOf his armies.

Himself a captain on the fields of Mexico,He had learned how to select from among their brave ranks

Great lieutenants.Who led them on a luminous career.

Which has gained for them a shining space

Qoi>federate V/eterap.

Ill history;

And, when bailie's drum had ceased to beat.He withdrew from his exalted charge

With a dignityMade strong by his faith,

Which, in commanding the admiration of the world,lias gained for himself

The love and reverence of his people who trusted him.

This monument,

The gift of friends in England,Was brought across sea and raised

In the city of Richmond,In the State of Virginia,

His mother.

To the memory

of

Thomas Jonathan Jackson,who,

Living in an age of principle.Chose what was a losing cause;

But to that cr."se

He gave a faith so true, a spirit so pure,A genius so grand in a mold so heroic.

That his countrymen revered him—Even his enemies honored him—

And a distant people, reading a lofty nature in lofty works.Called him great!

His life was one of many and sharp contrastings.Yet the meek simplicity that marked his character

Welded these into harmony.

\ devout Christian, he was none the less a bold soldier;in peace, tender of the humblest; in battle, his was a sword that

Conjured victory!

«:irnng in the qualities that shine most fitly in civil life,A mild teacher gathering the peaceful harvests of youthfulminds. r « • .

In a war, approved^f conscience, he towered a prayerful giant.And on historic fields rivaled the choicest deeds of his

Most famous predecessors 1In every phase of his stainless career;In his home, among men, with his pupils;In his State's brightest hour, in her darkest,

He stood, ever, in himselfThe type of a noble race's noblest teachings;

And his fame.

Rounded in all, guarded from wrong by the verdict of his co-temporaries,

Shall, when men's places come to be fixed by the recurrentgenerations.

Stand before its judges firm, like aStone Wali..

In his prose master of all the feeling.?.He wielded, with equal skill.

The wand of Humor and the brand of Terror.

At his will thrilling men to horror, or moving themTo laughter.In his tales,

Whether they be somber or wild unto grotesquenesa.Religion can find no offense. Virtue no wrong.

Nor Innocence take alarm.

He passed a life tragic enough to serve for warning.Stinging his generation into wrath, and by it stung into frenzy;Yvi through his genius, lifted victorious above detraction.

He has happily made sure ofPosterity.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.

BY JOHN DIMITRY, NEW ORLEANS.[See autograpli copy on first page.]

Not long unfurled was I known.For fate was against me;

But I flashed over a pure cause.And on land and sea

So fired the hearts of men unto heroism

That the world honors me.

Within my folds the dead who died under themLie nobly shrouded;And my tattered colors.

Crowded with a thousand shining victories.Have become

For the people who loved meA glorified memory.

Edgar Allan Foe,

Foot and prose writer.

He struck with magic hand the frailty that is man,While he left unprofaned

The truth that is God.

He wooed Science to be an ally of Fiction.And in the wooing made her shine with a light

Simpler than her own.

In his poetry he touched but few notes.Vet these, now the tendcrcst, now the saddest

That translate human passionsInto melodious words,

,\nd so fix them foreven

THE LAND OF LEE.

Where the jasmine and myrtleAnd the honeysuckle grow;

Where the i ipple of the watersSoothes to slumber as they flow;

Where the roses in their sweetness

Woo the humming bird and bee—Breathes there Southron who's forgotten.For a day, the Land of Lee?

Where the violet, so modest.Lifts its head above the leaves;

Where the ivy and the creeperGrope their way along the eaves;

Where the daisy, golden-hearted.Whispers love's soft words to thee—

This the land we love and long for;This the dear old Land of Lee.

Where the dogwood dots the forest.And the sourwoods honey yield;

Where the sea of whiteness dazrdcs

In the snowy cotton field:Where the birds are ever warbling.And the heart from care is free—

Proud are we to call her mother.

Proud of this sweet Land of Lee.

In my dreams I see the home land'Neath the sunny Southern sky.

And the vision brings a longingThat the dreams might last for aye.

Ah, that land of spring eternal.How thy children long for thee 1

Rest and peace for weary mortalIn that dear old Land of Lee. —JVm Aiken.

free school system there, and was state superintendent of schools in 1848*51. In1856 he became translator to the state department in Washington. He wasappointed U. S. minister to Costa Rica and Nicaragua in 1858, and served ;till1861, when he became chief of a bureau in the Confederate post officedepartment.

a large amount of reading in history, philosophy,and literature. After studying German, philosophy, and the classics for a year with Rev. Dr.Thayer of Newport, R. I., he entered AndoverTheological Seminary. Two years later he wentto Germany and attended lectures at Halle, Heidelberg, and Berlin. Returning to America, hegraduated from Andover in 1856.

Important churches at once sought to availthemselves of his training, rare gifts, and attractive personality, but he chose finally to settle inFall River, Mass., where he was ordained as pastor of the First Congregational Church, Dec.* 9,1856. Three years later, January i860, he resigned, and shortly afterward became pastor ofthe Harvard Congregational Church, Brookline,Mass. On May 15, 1861, he married Emily G.Stimson, daughter of John J. Stimson of Providence. A brilliant career in the ministry seemedto be before him. Horace Bushnell long and patiently endeavored to secure him as his successorat Hartford. Churches in New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston, S. C., beckoned to him.In spite of his gifts and deeply devotional nature,however, he had characteristics which interferedwith his happiness in his calling. He was essentially a student and teacher, historically minded,frank and fearless in stating his views, unwillingto wear denominational chains. He abhorred revivals and all cheap expedients to attract people,was strongly inclined to the Episcopal Church,and sympathetic toward much in Roman Catholicism, while some of his doctrinal views led orthodox Bostonians to accuse him of Unitarian leanings. Accordingly, when in 1864 he was offeredthe chair of history and political economy atBrown University he accepted it.Here his lectures—for he soon discarded text

book instruction—rich, penetrating, polished, andenlivened by wit, made him the idol of the students in spite of his high-bred reserve (W. C.Bronson, The History of Brown University, 1914,p. 409)* His historical addresses on public occasions and his contributions to periodicals werewidely read. On three occasions President Eliottried to persuade him to leave Providence forCambridge; he was offered professorships atPrinceton and Johns Hopkins, and the presidencyof the University of Vermont, and of the University of Wisconsin; but he chose to stay at Brown.He became an editorial writer for the ProvidenceJournal when it was under the management of hisintimate friend, James B. Angell [q.v.], and wasregarded as one of its ablest contributors untilhis death. Of his publications in periodicals,"Religion in America," a survey for the century1776-1876 (North American Review, January

Dimitry1876), attracted wide notice. From 1877 to 1881he reviewed historical publications for The Nation. In 1879 delivered a notable course oflectures at Johns Hopkins on the "Thirty Years'War," and in 1880 he gave the Lowell Lectures,Boston. The latter were published in 1881 underthe title. The Theistic Argument as Affected byRecent Theories. His career was suddenly cutshort by an attack of malignant erysipelas whenhe was in his fiftieth year. In such high regardwas he held in the state that the Rhode IslandHouse of Representatives adjourned to attend hisfuneral. After his death a volume of selectionsfrom his writings. Orations and Essays: withSelected Parish Sermons (1882), including acommemorative discourse by James O. Murray,was published.[In addition to references above, see Caroline Hazard

DIMITRY, ALEXANDER (Feb. 7, 1805-Jan. 30, 1883), educator, public official, son ofAndrea and Celeste (Dragon) Dimitry, was bornin New Orleans, where he also died. His father,a Greek from the island of Hydrea, came toAmerica in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. His mother's father, also a Greek, came toNew Orleans soon after 1760, but his mother'smother was of a family long resident in Louisiana, and one of her remote ancestors had takenfor wife an Indian. Alexander was sent toschool in New Orleans, and in 1820 to Georgetown College in the District of Columbia. Returning to Louisiana, he taught for two yearsin the Baton Rouge College before becoming thefirst English editor of the New Orleans Bee, apaper edited theretofore in French. During thistime (1830-35) he contributed some short storiesto "annuals" published in New York and Philadelphia. From 1834 to 1842 he was in Washington as a clerk in the Post Office Department andas active member, for some of that time, of theUnion Literary Society. His Lecture on theStudy of History as Applied to the Progress ofCivilization and Address on July Fourth, bothdelivered before that body in 1839, exhibit inrounded oratory the erudition and patriotismcharacteristic of their time and title. He wasmarried in 1835 to Mary Powell Mills, daughterof Robert Mills [q.v.'] of South Carolina, architect of the Washington Monument. Returning toLouisiana in 1842 and establishing a school inSt. Charles Parish, he continued as its head till

' 1847, when he began his three years of valuableservice as first superintendent of education in hisstate. From 1854 to 1859 he was a translator inthe State Department in Washington, and from1859 till he resigned, upon the secession of Louisiana, he was minister to Costa Rica and Nicaragua. During the Civil War he was assistantpostmaster-general of the Confederacy. Afterthe war he took up his residence in the vicinityof New York City, to remain there till 1867.From then until his death, with the exception ofa brief period spent in teaching at Pass Christian,Miss., he lived in New Orleans. He wrote littlebut read and talked much. Having as a youngman faced and definitely put from him the temptation to write books, he indulged instead throughout his life a taste for buying them—up to thenumber of 15,000—for his private library, anda taste also for setting forth his conclusions inpublic discourse, whether upon his literary andphilological investigations or upon the state-rights theories which he thought should dominateAmerican politics.[Alcee Fortier, Hisl. of La.

dimitry, CHARLES PATTON (July 31,1837-N0V. 10,1910), journalist, author, was bornin Washington, D. C., and died in New Orleans.His father, Alexander Dimitry [q.v."], a citizenof New Orleans who spent much of his life inWashington, was a man of considerable literarydistinction, and his mother, Mary Powell Mills,was the daughter of Robert Mills, architect ofthe Washington Monument. As a boy Charleswent to school in Louisiana, and in 1856 he entered Georgetown College, but apparently didnot graduate, although he was given the degreeof A.M. in 1867. At the beginning of the CivilWar he was a clerk in New Orleans. He imme

diately went into the Confederate army, and remained there, in the Army of Tennessee, till1865. During 1864 he published serially in Richmond a novel, "Guilty or Not (juilty." At theconcluson of the war he went to New York,where till 1874 he was connected at one time oranother with the World, Graphic, News, Star,and Brooklyn Union. In 1868 he published TheHouse in Balfour Street, a romance with itsscenes laid in a Victorian English village. Herehe introduced, in dialects which he fancied appropriate to each, a sort of Brontean hero, aFrench roue, several shop-keepers and house-servants, and many country ladies and gentlemen. The story is concerned with the struggle

Dingleyof the most important of these characters throughlove and disaster, both of which for a while seemcriminal, to final just deserts of happiness. Hewrote also, besides many short stories, threeother novels, published in periodicals: "Angela'sChristmas," "Gold Dust and Diamonds," and"Two Knaves and a Queen"; and he contributedfrequently to a number of newspapers, amongthem, the Alexandria Commercial Advertiser,the New Orleans Bee and the Washington DailyPatriot. He was employed for short periods injournalistic work in Mobile, Richmond, and Baltimore, and at one time in his life was engrossedin inventing and patenting an ink which wouldnot rust pens. After reaching middle age he settled down in New Orleans, where he was connected for a long time with the editorial staff ofthe Picayune. There, writing sometimes as Tobias Guarnerius, Jr., or as Braddock Field, heprepared for various newspapers a number ofarticles on local history. His wife, Anne Elizabeth Johnson, whom he married in 1871 in Alexandria, Va., died in 1880, after the death of theironly child. His last years were spent in comparative solitude, made heavier by poverty and approaching blindness.

DINGLEY, NELSON (Feb. 15,1832-Jan. 13,1899), editor, governor, and congressman fromMaine, was born in Durham, Me. The firstDingley came to America from Lynn, England,to settle in Lynn, Mass., as early as 1637, andone of his descendants removed to Maine about

1773. Nelson Dingley, the grandson of thisearly pioneer, married Jane Lambert, a descendant of Revolutionary stock, whose father hadbeen one of the founders of the first Baptistchurch in the village of Durham, and NelsonDingley, Jr., was their son. As a lad he wasnot brilliant, but industrious, conscientious, careful to read the best books, the sort of boy whowould begin a diary at the age of fourteen andcontinue it to within a month of his death. From

his earliest youth he was an advocate of temperance, took a keen interest in debating, attended Sunday-school, taught for two months ina day school at the age of sixteen, joined thechurch when twenty, and the same year was adelegate to a Whig state convention. He attended Waterville College (now Colby University)for nearly two years, and then transferred toDartmouth College, from which he graduatedsixth in a class of fifty-one in 1855. In college,as before, his interests were serious; books, de-

[Page 152 illustration; 1859 Office Seal]

Early in the administration of Commissioner Holt, Oscar J. E. Stuart, of Holmesville,Mississippi, requested information on how to get a patent on an invention made by Ned, a slavebelonging to Mr. Stuart's late wife's estate. The invention was an improved cotton scraper plowfor plowing cotton fields. Jacob Thompson presented the matter to Attorney General JeremiahS. Black for an opinion, but he refused to give an advisory opinion, indicating that he wouldpass upon an actual pending patent application. When Mr. Stuart recited all of the relevantfacts and filed an application in his own name, the Attorney General ruled that Mr. Stuartcould not claim to be the inventor and so could not make the application in his own name.[footnote 6] Ned, being a slave, was not considered a citizen of any country, could not make theoath of citizenship required by the law and so could not make the application in his name. Acentury or more later, some people have considered this to be another instance of the federalgovernment depriving slaves of rights, but it could also be interpreted as a federal governmentwhich deprived slave owners of at least one benefit of owning slaves. In the Annual Report for1857, Mr. Holt indicated that this was only one of several applications that had been receivedwithin the past year for inventions made by slaves, a situation which he believed had neverarisen before. Oscar Stuart [Pg 153] was later a colonel in the Confederate Army. Nothingfurther is known of Ned.

"LOUISIANA FAMILIES"!

[E history of a nation, a state, or a community isnot comprised in a record of its fauna, its flora, orits geographical or geological conditions; that whichcomposes history is die stories of the lives of the men

and women who have had more or less to do with its affairs.

In a series of genealogical sketches of Louisiana families,which for over a year appeared m the colunms of the Times-Democrat in 1892-93, my readers and I retraced by manypaths, through the lives of individuals, the romantic andmany-hued story of Louisiana from its earliest settlement bythe French to our day.

In preparing those sketches I endeavored, where the material was at my command, to impart to them the interestthat is associated with the memories of the old days ofIberville, of Bienville, of Vaudreuil, and the line of successors, as governors of the colony and state, under the French,Spanish, and American dominations. I hope my readers thenwere pleased in the perusal of those records of families whosenames have been so long a time familiar to the ears of Louisi-anians, as I hope, also, especially, to have secured the satisfaction of those immediately concerned to many of whom Iam indebted for whatever measure of success I may haveachieved in recalling past episodes in French and Louisianahistory, and in tracing the stories, directly or indirectly, ofhundreds of Louisiana's colonial families and the families ofthe first decades of this century.

It is true that in the honorable company of Louisiana'sancient population other hundreds of families of merit anddistinction remained to be chronicled. But for the series ofthese family sketches, the limit was reached, and so, on that

1. The concludingr article by Charles Fatten Dlmltry in his genealogicalseries, which is now used, with slight changes in tense, as a forewordto his revised, reedited, and corrected family biographies printed in PartOne of the present work.

[17]

\ OLD FAMIUES OF LOUISIANA

crowded stage of Louisiana's past—^a past closely linkedwith the present, however—^the curtain was rung down.The records of the families of which I have had the honor

to be the chronicler show that while many of the ancestorsof the older families of Louisiana came hither directly fromFrance, and many from San Domingo, others by the way ofAmerican cities more to the northward of us, the majority,probably (although of French ancestory) arrived in thecolony as officers of the Infantry of the Marine (the Louisiana colonial troops) from Canada. There is also the Spanishelement, which from 1769, when the Spanish rule in Louisiana became established, added the infusion of Castillianblood to the old population. Ireland, too, sent many branchesof her ardent families to give variety to the human mosaic ofthe peoples whose representatives, gathered together fromafar, had laid the foundation of Louisiana society, giving toit its exceptional tone and qualities—^its elegance, chivalryand courtesy, and, it may be added, in all truth, its exemplarysense of honor and self-respect.

Leading the list of provinces of France which gave toLouisiana the elements of the majority of the families whosestories and generations I have recorded in **Louisiana Families" is Brittany, a land of chiveJry, of poetic and romanticmemories, of a people pious, of brave soldiers and sailors.Normandy, the dwelling place of knights and seigneurs ofold, whence went with William, their duke, the barons whosenames are read in the roll of the Battle Abbey—Normandy,forever associated with the memories of the rearing of thestructure of Elnglish laws and English society, and of thebringing to perfection and completeness the English language—Normandy, mingling in the land of conquest vrith thestrong Saxon blood that had preceded the going thither ofher sons and producing a people great at home and not lessgreat in their English-speaking progeny of the United States—Normandy sent many.

Others came from Provence, from Dauphine, from Lorraine, from Burgundy, from Champagne, Alsace, Poitou, theBourbonnais, and some came from the cities of Paris, Marseilles, Nantes, and Bordeaux, and from the towns ofGrenoble, La Rochelle, Noemy, Estampes, and Brie. Some

cam6 with the titles of ancient nobility, with commissionssigned by the three Louises of France, as Knights of theOrder of Saint Louis, as officers of the army, while others,bearing no titles, came to Louisiana breathing the free andennobling air of which constituted for them and their posterity a liberal and sufficient patent of nobility.

In following the lineages of some of our Louisiana familiesof greater or less antiqui^ there is a reopening of doors, as itwere,' and strange and picturesque historical vistas appearbefore the mental vision. The characters, men and women offorgotten days—days almost as extinct as if they had neverbeen—come trooping before us. The crusader is there withface stem and martial in expression, and yet, in repose, illuminated with the light of faith and a pious zeal. The chaielainlooks from the castle-turret over his broad domain, and themen-at-arms cross the drawbridge according as the varyingtrumpet sounds the departure or the return. The marches ofarmies are again revealed; from Italy they retum to Francesinging songs of victory and bringing with them the civilizinglessons from Padua and Mantua and Florence and wonderful tales of the mighty civilizations, the embers of whosegreatness still smoldered on the shores of the Mediterraneansea.

The mousquetaire gris or the mousqueiaire noir, like thatChevalier de la Marjolaine, "toujours'gai** crosses the scenewith his pretty embroidered cloak, his high russet boots, hisperfumed ringletty hair, and his steel-sheathed rapier. Amongthose who appear and disappear, filling the intervals of thegenerations, are King's Councillors, Councillors of the Parli-ment, officers in the households of the Kings and in theirmilitary and naval services, chevaliers, some so bom andsome so appointed, men adoming the civil and unofficialwalks of life. There are there, also, the glint of jewels, ofcoronets, of gold and silver decorations and omaments, andthe garbs of silk and satin, velvet and cloth.

In a palace of the Scottish Kings a man out of Italy(David Rizzio was his name) with dark, languishing eyes,in his composition something of the troubadour, the improvisa-tore\ the professor, but most of the lover, reclines on a mdeflooring of damask of the weavery of the looms of Venice,

[19]

OLD FAMIUES OF LOUISIANA

at the feet of a royal patroness, a beautiful queen, the azureof whose eyes, the ruddy hue of whose hair, and the pinkand white of whose satin cheeks are repeated in the eyes andhair and cheeks of the fair maids of honor who surround her.They, sitting at their spinning wheels, are listening mutewhile the troubadour touches with suave fingers the stringsof his mandolin, singing for their delectation love songs. Lovesongs of the Amo and gay barcaroles of the lagunas ofVenice. When not singing he relates the legends of spectre-haunted halls of gray Florentine palaces, the story of theriches of the Medics, the traditions of the Viviadis, theGrimaldis, and the Dorias, of Genoa, the tale of the twolovers of Verona—Messer Romeo Montesche and sweet Madame Giulletta Capoletto—^The two who died for love andwere entombed together in the tomb of the Capoletti in theCampo-Santo of the old Italian city! and the quaint sayingsof Ser Riggoletto, the Duke's jester of Mantua.And so, as the nearer doors open and more modem vistas

appear, the vistas revealed are vistas of Louisiana—^the fairestscene of all—^her forests, her prairies, her dark and odorouslagoons, Bienville, with light helmet decked with feathers,and clad in half-armour, walks in the Place d'Armes withhis officers, while the rolling of the drums that beat a saluteat mom to the flag of the /Zeur-de-lys blends with the hymnthat is sung in the old convent in Conde street by the pioussisterhood of the Ursuline nuns.

Sometimes a pedestrain wending his way late at nightalong a city's streets will hear, coming from a dwelling in oneof the streets, the sounds of music, the murmur of manyvoices, the echoes of merry laughter. If he will pause for awhile at the window and gaze at the scene he will behold agoodly company, gallant men and graceful women. Butthere must come a time when the merriment is over and

silence and quiet prevail where was bustle and motion. Andso, the lights are extinguished, and like visions wrought bythe imagination out of enchanted materials, the companyvanishes, the gallant men and the graceful women disappear,and are seen no more.

CHARLES PATTON DIMITRY

[20]

DIMITRY Famay

The Dimilry famHy forms an instance of strikinggenealogy encountered in the annals of three coim-tries. The beginning of the Greek line is from theIsland of Hydra, the first of a Macedonian family

to settle on the Acropolis of this island seeking refuge fromthe Turks. This family remained undefiled in the purity ofits Grecian strain. The Canadian line begins with DoctorGifiard, who emigrated to Canada prior to 1634, and wththe HAert family, have been declared as the first CanadianfamilieL To this Gifiard family was allied tfie Canadianbrothers Chauvin, de Lery, la Freniere, and Beaulieu, whowith Lallande connections, came to Louisiana from Canada.The first Dimitry in Louisiana 'was Andrea Dimitry, bom

on the Island of Hydra in the archipelago of Greece, in 1775,who died in New Orleans Mardi 1, 1852. He married,October 29, 1799, Marianne Celeste Dragon, daughter ofMichel Dragon and Fran^oise Chauvin Beaulieu de Mon-plasir. Dimitry in its original form was "Demetrois."Andrea Dimitry in emigrating to Louisiana sought on the

virgin soil of the New World the freedom that once blessedhim in his own classic land and the spirit that once animatedhis own people. He became a resident of Louisiana, thenunder the domination of Spain, but when the colony wastransferred to the United States he became an ardent republican and at the historic Battle of New Orleans participatedin that memorable conflict. He lived to be eighty and to seegrown up about him a posterity honored for their culture.The Dragon family in Louisiana began with the arrival

in the French Colony of Michel Dragon. He was a nativeof Athens, being bom in the year 1739. In English his namewould be "Drago," the same as that of the great law-giver.His mother s name was Clino Hellen, and Hellen was the

[401]


name of the son of Deucalion, the Noah of Grecian mythology who gave origin to the Hellenes or Greeks. The exactdate of Michel Dragon's coming to America is not knownbut it was previous to 1764, as can be learned from his warrant of promotion, for he was an officer in the French militiawhen Louisiana was transferred to Spain. He then enteredthe Spanish colonial militia and participated in GovernorGalvez's campaign against the British in West Florida.By his marriage to Frangoise Chauvin de Monplasir, the

Dragons became allied to the Chauvin family (q. v.). Herfather was Louis Chauvin de Beaulieu and Charlotte Or-banne Duval d'Epresmenil. Hie issue of this union was adaughter named Marianne Celeste Dragon, born in NewOrleans, March 1, 1777, died April 22, 1856, who marriedAndrea Dimitry. From this Dimitry-Dragon alliance werebom ten children: (a) Euphrosine Dimitry, born September12, 1800, who married, April 23, 1822, Paul Pandely;(b) Manuella Aimee Dimitry, bom January 12, 1802, whomarried, January 10, 1826, A. Dietz; (c) Alexander Dimitry, bom Febmary 6, 1805, died January 30, 1883, whomarried Mary Powell Mills; (d) Constantine Andrea Dimitry, born May 24, 1807' (e) J. B. Miguel Dragon Dimitry,born May 18, 1809, died January 12, 1873, who marriedCaroline Sophia Powers; (f) Angelica Clino Dimitry, bomMarch 7, 1811, died July 19, 1882, who married G. Perri;(g) Marie Frangoise Athenais E)imitry, born February 5,1813, who married, first, Isidore Midiel Ravent-Martain-ville, secondly, Jean B. Lagarde, and, thirdly, G. A. D.Buel; (h) Mathilde Isabelle Theophanie Dimitry, bomNovember 29, 1816, who married Dr. A. Natili; (i) Nich-olas Dimitry, bom February 7, 1815, and (j) Antoine MarieDimitry, bom February 8, 1820.

Alexander Dimitry, the oldest son of Andrea Dimitry andCeleste Dragon, was a man of colossal learning and intellect.Noted as a scholar, lingmst, orator, lecturer, writer, anddiplomat he takes rank as one of the great sons of .Louisiana.He was commissioned in 1847-50 as first state superintendentof public education. In 1842, after he had returned fromdiplomatic service in Washington, he devoted his time andsplendid intellect to the organizing of the free school system

of Louisiana. President James Buchanan appointed Alexander Dimitry minister plenipotentiary and extraordinary toCosta Rica and Nicaragua. Previously President MartinVan Buren appointed him secretary to a mixed commissionwhich decided the boundries in dispute between Mexico andthe United States. During die Civil War Jefferson Davis appointed him chief of the finance bureau of the Confederatepost-office. Alexander Dimitry was familiar with eleven languages, ancient and modem, a prominent Odd Fellow, andone of die founders of the Seven Wise Men of Heptasophs.

In 1835 Alexander Dimitry married, in Washington, D.C., Mary Powell Mills, daughter of Robert Mills of Charleston. South Carolina, a leading United States governmentarchitect, who designed the Washington Monument, andmany of the government buildings in the nation's capital.Her mother was EUiza Bamwell Smith, of Hackwood, Fred-erich county, Virginia. General John Bull was her greatgrandfather, and her maternal grandfather was General JohnSmith, both of distinguished Revolutionary fame. She wasalso a direct descendant of Abigail Smith, wife of JohnAdams and mother of John Quinqr Adams.

It has been said that the children of the Dimitry-Millsunion inherited the towering intellects of their father and thegentleness and beauty of character of their mother. This isbest exemplified in the achievements of John Bull SmithDimitry, and Charles Patton Dimitry, authors, historians,diplomats, and scholars. John Dimitry married Ada Stuart,a relative of General J. E. B. Stuart, the "Plumed Cavelier"of the Confederacy. Other children were: Alexander DimitryJr., Robert Andrea Dimitry, Thomas Dabney Dimitry, whomarried Annie Stone; Eliza Virginia Dimitry, who marriedElnoch Fenwick Ruth; Elizabeth Linn Dimitry, who marriedC. McRea Selph, and Mathilda T. Dimitry, who marriedWilliam Devere Miller of New York.

John Bull Smith, or John Dimitry, as he is known in theworld of letters was, like his father, a historian, master oflanguages, and a statesman. He was bom in Washington,D. C., December 27, 1835, and educated at College Hill,Mississippi, a school established by his father. Wounded atthe Battle of Shiloh, where his hip was shattered while rescu-

[403]


ing his company commander, he entered the Confederatepostal service at Richmond where he served until the end ofthe war. In the early seventies he went to Europe to writeof the manners and customs of the peoples of the continentand devoted especial attention to a study of Spain. After hisreturn from Europe he accepted the chair of languages andbelles letters in the College Caldas, South America. He returned to New Orleans and while secretary to the state superintendent of education, wrote his history of Louisiana, form2my years a valuable text-book in the public schools.

Charles Patton Dimitry is renowned as author, historian,journalist, biographer, and veteran of the Civil War. He wasbom in Washington, D. C. and received his education atGeorgetown College. He married Annie Elizabeth Johnstonof Alexsmdria, Virginia, who died shortly thereafter withoutissue. He served in the Louisiana Cavalry, and upon thecessation of hostilities resumed his studies at Georgetown,graduating in 1867. He took up journalism in Washington,New York, Mobile and New Orleans. For many years hewas a constant and prolific contributor to the New OrleansTimes'Democratt and in that paper ran his series of shortgenealogical sketches, Louisiana Families^ into which hewove with consummate skill and romanticism all the wealthof legends that abound in the research of Louisiana namesand their ramifications, which have been abridged and extended and appear in the first part of this present work.

Eliza Virgima Ruth, a daughter of Alexander Dimitry,married Captain Enoch Fenwick Ruth of Baltimore, whoserved in the Indian Bureau at Washington. Returning toLouisiana a widow, she wrote under the name of VirginiaDimitry Ruth. She was one of the pioneer women writers.Following the trend of her pedagogic fzunily, she was aneducator, having her private school for young ladies, an institution recognized for its splendid educational system andculture. She had three dau^ters: Elizabeth Dimitry Ruth,who married Dracos A. Dimitry, her cousin; Margaret Dimitry Ruth, who married Louis Grey Norwell, and GenevieveRuth, who married Louis A. Veazey.

Dear MrSo Derc'en:

You will think I have forgotten you but bhat^s nobtrue, I vrrote at once in regard to your picture but not have a reply.I also wrote about the books to Mr, "Yebb and had word from him as fol~lov.-'s imderdate of Janvrry 2k.

"Thank you for sending the transcripts oftitle pages of the old books, I 'will run through them assoon as possible and let you know concerning the value of

of them. Off hand I v/ould soy thej'" are not as a groupsufficiently valuable to interest any of the eastern bookdealers. If they are in good condition I -would suggestthe possibility of selling them at one of our auction roomshere in Pew Orleans, especially the Louisiana material,

I irill let you kno.Y further in the courseof a week or two,"

The fact that he said he would write again res^^lted in my del'-.y in writing you. I am today asking hime he has any further suggestion and torotiirn the slips so -we can make other inquiries. If there is any interesting ^vord I'll let you laicv:.

If you are ever in Jackson I'd "be happy to have youcome to see us and if any v/ay acours to you in which the Commissioncein help, do let us knov/.

Yours a nceroly.

John Bimitr^T was one whoj seemed not to hnow what fear is;

and, as it is with such men, he had no contempt for mere phj-sioal

fear, but oiily for a dastardly will, a selfish shirking of dangerous duty. Telling the-battle story oyeii^..,he said that, a non-com-

This was John Dlmitry's last battle, being disabled by

his v/ound. But in his future, as in his past, he was to be where

tainty of the arrangements to R. are concerned. I would adyijje you

iil nothini:? done by chance:and there is no doubt in my mind of a

happy termination of our fishing-.1aunt. If you start as you pro

posed, nothing need delay you."

He wrote on the margin, "Be careful not to mention a

wor£ about Mr. Seratt. He is already not in good odor. You must

ayail yourself of his aid without fail. His assistance is inyal-

uable." In after years, speaicing of Mrs. Suratt, he said she wan

a plain, motherly woman, who called the young Southern yolunteern

her boys." 2hat she should be guilty of conspiracy or crime, he

called impossible.

Altei Hulfeiing the cUfiahlin,: John Dimitry found

aeryice under his father in the postal department in Richmond.

When the city fell, he accompanied the fugitive gOTernment. With

-hifi own hsnclfl he toTe clown a pop.ter that offered, for the oaptare

oS "Jen -Darin", a reward of &10.000. in addition to the "apecie"

Of Jackson, Mississippi. 11 T-ik.in,■

■rJ^' "Jota Dimitry page o

After less than a year of soldier life, Dimitry

received the disabling v/ound that obliged him to seek service

with the Confederate government; he was in the post office

department, and accompanied the fugitive government after

Richmond's fall# With his own hands he tore down a poster

offering for the capture of "Jeff Davis" a reward of ^j510,000,

in addition to the "Specie" about him, which v/as "said to be"

a large amount. The poster is now in Mississippi'^ museum.It Avas characteristic of John Dimitry that in the din and

glare of great events he was not deaf, not blind, to their

significance. With regard to the "specie," he writes:

"My dear Brother

Father has given me a slip from Mother's

last letter v/hich contains some questions about the coin

given to the officers of the Confederates at the 'breaking up'.

I can give you the very date, as I kept a memorandum with me

in a little book, which I still have, although it bears un-

mistakable evidence of the mud and slime of the Savannah

River.•» •• ^

^"It was at Greensboro, Ko. Carolina, on the day

preceding the departure of the President, for Charlotte, N. C,,

that certain proportions of silver coins were delivered to

various members of the Departments, who had followed him to

Greensboro.

John Dimitry page 6

"The day was Monday, the 17th of April, 1865,

"The hour about 1 or 2 o'clock in the forenoon.

(Did he mean afternoon?).

"For our Dept (P. 0.) the treasure was contained

in a small quarter casf^

"The Heads of Bureaux, I think, got $50 fin silver)

each :^X, being chief clerk, and others of the same 'ilk'

$40 - ordinary clerks $20, each.

"For Heads of Department, quantity unknown.

"There was no gold whatsoever distributed to the

civil officers. At least, I never heard that there was any,

so far as the inferior civil officers were concerned. Father

and I were sufficiently high in position to have been entitled

to gold, had there been any distributed.

"On Tuesday, (the 18th) - day of gloomy memories.'

— the President and those who were to accompany him, left

Greensboro for Charlotte. The greater part of the Departments

remained behind, only the chosen few and the truly faithful

having turned their backs from Richmond on that Second Tuesday

after the 'Fall.'

"A small party struggled into Charlotte, three days

afterwards.

John Dimitry page 7

"They remained there 10 days, or two weeks. News

came of the Armistice "between Johnston and Sherman. The

faithful were made heart-glad. News came that the Armistice

had been ignored at Washington. The faithful grew sick at

heart. Thenceforth Hope fled for ever.

"The President and a few - (not a dozen civilians,

I, my Boy, among the number) left Charlotte for —

"Capture,

Privation,

Oath-impositions.

Dangers,

Burning Steamboats,

River - immersions,

DEATH.

"You know pretty well the history as I know it.

"I was informed that the soldiers got some silver -

but it could not ha,ve been more than $4 or 5 apiece. And,

even then, I am not sure that the largess was not limited to

those (principally cavaJlrymen) who were honored with being

the escort of the President."

As he wrote to the lady who was to become his wife

five years later, he had little capital except his brains.

Before the war he had been sent to Europe by a New Orleans

John Bimitry page 8

paper, and the early seventies found him a professor of English

in a college at Baranquilia, Columbia, S. A. His wife's health

could not stand the damp climate, and crossing the Andes on

backs of mules, he taught at Bogota in the "Colegio Caldas,"

The letters sent from South America are themselves literature.

"I cannot say, '• he wrote, "that I envy the folks

at Lichenhurst the good things they are having now. But I

need not be ashamed to confess that I would very much like to

have the comforts here, just at this time. We are, at this

particular moment - this being Shrove Tuesday - in the throes

of the Carnival. Consequently, license is high. License being

high, the market people, and the peripatetic vendors of eatables,

are afraid to display their wares. Among the masquerade

organizations skurrying through the streets, is one called

"Tlie Pirates." These fellows - true to the instincts of their

nominal predecessors - are rare ones to overturn a market

woman's stall, and smash to powder the niceties of wandering

vendors, which they do not manage to filch. The result has

been bad for us, who have not been gifted with money to lay

in heavily ante-Carnival supplies. On this account our

breakfast today has been one banana and four eggs, without

bread - our baker, probably, having vinously rejoiced over

night. Our dinner will be still slighter. From all appearances

- it being now 4 P. ji, - it promises to be one egg and one

banana,»

• I /l ' •

John Diraitry page 9

But worse disorders came. There was a revolution:

a man was shot at their door; it was long "before he could

collect the salary already earned^ and to teach longer, under

the circunistances, was unwise, and he returned to New Orleans

to live "by his pen. Henceforth he remained in his own country,

in New York or Philadelphia, or the national capital; in New

Orleans, or little Christiansburg, West Virginia, sometimes

he tadght, sometimes was assistant editor, sometimes critic,

"but always he was writing. His stories delighted the young

readers of Nicholas; his vivid and detailed bits of

little known history appeared in the Magazine of American

Hi story, with fiction a,nd Indian legends scattered through

other publications. In a fiction contest he v^on the prize

against Edward E. Hale; and with characteristic generosity

and candor said he y^ould rather have written Kale's story

than that which won the prize - this though he was a

Catholic, and Hale's story was of the Waldenses. Of his

school history of Louisiana, one wrote, "I read it as I

would read a novel.'' His Military Hi story of Louisiana

was his last work, written while his health was daily

giving way, his painful wound often making it impossible

for him to walk the street.

material, intensely American. J^o country could be so rich in

genius as to afford forgetting such an author.

Thomas Jennings

was the first African American to receive a patent, on March 3, 1821 (U.S. patent3306x).Thomas Jennings' patent was for a dry-cleaning process called "dry scouring". The first moneyThomas Jennings earned from his patent was spent on the legal fees (my polite way of sayingenough money to purchase) necessary to liberate his family out of slavery and support theabolitionist cause.

Under the United States patent laws of 1793 and 1836, both slaves and freedman could patenttheir Inventions. However, in 1857, a slave-owner named Oscar Stuart patented a "doublecotton scraper" that was Invented by his slave. Historical records only show the real Inventor'sname as being Ned. Stuart's reasoning for his actions was that, "the master Is the owner of thefruits of the labor of the slave both manual and intellectual". In 1858, the U.S. patent officechanged the patent laws, In response to the Oscar Stuart vs Ned case. In favor of Oscar Stuart.Their reasoning was that slaves were not citizens, and could not be granted patents. Butsurprising in 1861, the Confederate States of America passed a law granting patent rights toslaves. In 1870, the U.S.government passed a patent law giving all American men Includingblacks the rights to their inventions.

ANTEBELLUM

Elmer E. Ellsworth (1837-1861), who was no kin to ex-Commissioner Ellsworth, became a clerkin the Chicago office of Arthur F. Devereux, patent solicitor, about 1855, at age eighteen. Theysoon became partners in the business. The firm was becoming prosperous by the time he wastwenty-one. However, after they had entrusted their funds to an agent who has not beennamed, the agent absconded with the funds, robbing them of the accumulation of three years ofwork. Mr. Ellsworth then entered the law office of Abraham Lincoln at Springfield, spendingpart of his time studying law for admission to the bar and part of his time promoting a schemeto reorganize the Illinois militia, [fo^otnote 1]

[Page 150 illustration: Portrait of Abraham Lincoln]

Abraham Lincoln was no stranger to the patent law. In late 1848, while Lincoln was coming upthe Detroit River on the steamboat Globe^ the boat ran aground on the shoals off FightingIsland. When he returned to Illinois, he began work on a model of a new boat with inflatablebellows on each side of the boat just below the waterline. When this boat ran aground onshoals, the bellows were to be inflated, buoying the boat over the shoals. Abraham Lincoln hadbeen elected to one term in Congress, from March 1847 to March 1849. When he returned toWashington for the second session, he brought his model with him, went to the offices of ZenasC. Robbins, patent solicitor, and applied for a patent. One of the fond memories of RobertTodd Lincoln, his son, was the time in 1848 when his father took him to the Model Room of thePatent Office to look at the displays. Abe Lincoln's patent was issued on May 22,1849, as U.S.Patent No. 6,469, for "Buoying Vessels over Shoals." He thus became the only President whowas a patentee. And as noted earlier, at the time when Mr. Lincoln went to the office of ZenasC. Robbins to secure a patent, Mr. Robbins' apprentice draftsman, who may well have workedon the drawings for Mr. Lincoln's application, was our young friend Robert WashingtonFenwick.

Early in his career, Lincoln won the unreported case of Parker v. Hoyt for the defendant,proving to a jury that his client's waterwheel did not infringe the plaintiffs patent. His secondlargest professional fee came from his participation in the Reaper Case, McCormick v. Manny^in association [Pg 151] with George Harding, prominent patent attorney of Philadelphia, andanother aggressive Pennsylvania lawyer, Edward M. Stanton, representing the defendantManny. Although Mr. Lincoln was well-prepared and well-paid for his intended argument,Harding and Stanton thought him too ungainly and unpresentable to be allowed to participatein the arguments, and he was sent home unheard. Nevertheless, the defendant won. Lincolnargued his last patent case, Dawson v. Ennis, after his nomination for President, but before hiselection. Although Lincoln won the election, his client lost his case, [footnote 2]

Lincoln held no hard feelings toward Stanton and Harding. Upon his election as President, he

offered the job of Coramissioner of Patents to Harding, who refused it. He later offered theposition of Secretary of War to Edward Stanton, who accepted it.

[Page 151 illustratipn: Portrait of Joseph Holt]

The Commissioner of Patents appointed to replace Judge Mason was Joseph Holt (1807-1894)of Kentucky. Mr. Holt began the practice of law in 1828 in Louisville and served ascommonwealth's attorney there from 1833-1835. He then moved to Mississippi and practicedlaw until 1842. When he won a large judgment against the city of Vicksburg on behalf of theheirs of the founder of the city, he became wealthy and gave up the private practice of law. Helived a quiet life back in Kentucky, engaging in much foreign travel, until he moved toWashington in the spring of 1857. When he was first offered the office of Commissioner, heturned it down, but soon thereafter accepted it. According to the new Secretary of the Interiorand one-time fellow Mississippi lawyer Jacob Thompson, Mr. Thompson had obtained theposition for Mr. Holt because Mr. Holt was a briefless lawyer with nothing else to do. This andother more unfriendly remarks were made years after a Civil War during which Mr. Holt hadbeen Judge Advocate General of the Union Army and Mr. Thompson had been Governor ofMississippi. But again, we are well ahead of our story.

Joseph Holt was appointed Commissioner of Patents on September 10,1857. By December, Mr.Holt had established a Board of Appeals to hear appeals from adverse decisions of anexaminer. The initial Board of Appeals consisted of Thomas H. Dodge, DeWitt C. Lawrenceand A. B. Little. This was not the official Board of Appeals later authorized by Congress in1861, but it served as an unofficial advisory board to the Commissioner. According [Pg 152] toreports in Scientific American.^ Mr. Holt had been attempting to persuade examiners to be moreliberal in granting patents. Applicants had the right to appeal to the Commissioner fromadverse decisions of an examiner, but Commissioner Holt was being overwhelmed with appealsfrom examiners that he could not convince to be more liberal in their decisions. Thus he

appointed a Board of Appeals to take the pressure of work off his shoulders, [footnote 3]Finally they reported that the Commissioner felt that certain old examiners were attempting tosubvert his policies of liberality, almost to the point of insubordination, so he dismissed them.Scientific American likened this to Dogberry's maxim, that when two people undertake to ridethe same horse, one, of necessity, must ride behind the other, [footnote 4] Commissioner Holtwas determined that he should ride in the front, and, as it were, determine where the PatentOffice pony was to go. By 1858, Commissioner Holt was complaining that withdrawal of thethree examiners from their regular duties had reduced the number of principal examiners inthe examining force by 25 percent. Mr. Holt wanted more principal examiners to be authorizedby Congress, [footnote 5]

[Page 152 illustration: 1859 Office Seal]

Early in the administration of Commissioner Holt, Oscar J. E. Stuart, of Holmesville,Mississippi, requested information on how to get a patent on an invention made by Ned, a slavebelonging to Mr. Stuart's late wife's estate. The invention was an improved cotton scraper plowfor plowing cotton Helds. Jacob Thompson presented the matter to Attorney General JeremiahS. Black for an opinion, but he refused to give an advisory opinion, indicating that he wouldpass upon an actual pending patent application. When Mr. Stuart recited all of the relevantfacts and filed an application in his own name, the Attorney General ruled that Mr. Stuartcould not claim to be the inventor and so eould not make the application in his own name,[footnote 6] Ned, being a slave, was not considered a citizen of any country, could not make the

http://www.myoutbox.net/popch25.htm 6/13/03


oath of citizenship required by the law and so could not make the application in his name. Acentury or more later, some people have considered this to be another instance of the federalgovernment depriving slaves of rights, but it could also be interpreted as a federal governmentwhich deprived slave owners of at least one benefit of owning slaves. In the Annual Report for1857, Mr. Holt indicated that this was only one of several applications that had been receivedwithin the past year for inventions made by slaves, a situation which he believed had neverarisen before. Oscar Stuart [Pg 153] was later a colonel in the Confederate Army. Nothingfurther is known of Ned.

[Page 153 illustration: Portrait of Benjamin T. Montgomery]

There was a similar incident somewhat later, less well documented, in which Benjamin T.Montgomery (1819-1877), a slave on the plantation of Jefferson Davis' brother Joseph Davis,invented a propeller for a river steamboat, operating on the canoe-paddling principle. It is saidthat both Davis brothers tried to get a patent for Benjamin Montgomery, but they wereprevented from doing so by the Attorney General's decision in Ned's case. A few years later,when Jefferson Davis was President of the Confederate States of America, he signed legislationinto law allowing slaves to get patents for their inventions. Apparently, Benjamin Montgomerylater filed his application for a U.S. patent as a freed man on June 28,1864, but did not receivea patent. Perhaps this is because of a strong similarity between his paddling propeller and thesteamboat that John Fitch demonstrated to the Constitutional Convention, [footnote 7]

In March 1859, Commissioner Holt was appointed Postmaster General to replace A.V. Brown,who had recently died. Later in the administration of President Buchanan, he was madeSecretary of War. He was the only member of Buchanan's final cabinet who did not side withthe Confederacy.

[Page 153 illustration: Portrait of William Darius Bishop]

On May 7,1859, William Darius Bishop (1827-1904) of Connecticut was appointed as the newCommissioner of Patents. Mr. Bishop had been president of the Naugatuck Railroad in 1855,and had served one term as a Congressman from 1857 to 1859, and when his term in Congressexpired, he was appointed a 31-year-old Commissioner of Patents. Very early in 1860,Commissioner Bishop arranged for photographic copies to be made of certain patent drawingsand used these copies to supply copies to the public and also to provide extra copies forexaminers to use in examining applications, [footnote 8] This practice was not continued forlong. In Mr. Bishop's only Annual Report as Commissioner, that for 1859, he told Congress onJanuary 26,1860, that he could not comply with [Pg 154] their recently imposed limit of 800pages for an annual report. He said that he was submitting one of 1,200 pages because a shorterreport would be useless. Possibly because he left office very shortly after making this annualreport, there were no repercussions. Why Mr. Bishop left office so suddenly seems not to havebeen reported. On January 28, 1860, Scientific American was praising his work and wishinghim continued success and by February 4 was announcing the expected appointment of SamuelC. Ingham to be the new Commissioner.

[Page 154 illustration: Portrait of Philip Thomas]

However, Mr. Ingham refused the office, and the new Commissioner was Philip FrancisThomas (1810-1890), ex-Governor of Maryland, who was appointed on February 15, 1860. Mr.Thomas resigned from the office of Commissioner on December 10,1860, to become Secretary

http://www.myoutbox.net/popch25 .htm 6/13/03


of the Treasury in President Buchanan's cabinet. Mr. Thomas was soon a Southernsympathizer during the Civil War.

[Page 154 illustration: Portrait of Shimmi Masaoki]

In the summer of 1859, John Mercer Brooke (1826-1906), a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, wasshipwrecked in Yokohama, Japan, where he established good relations with the Japanesegovernment. When Japan was to send a diplomatic mission to Washington the following year toexchange ratifications of the Harris treaty of 1858, Lieutenant Brooke and ten of his seamenwere invited to accompany the mission and train Japanese mariners in ocean navigation. Theambassadors, Shimmi Masaoki, Lord of Buzen (1822-1869), and Muragaki Norimasa, Lord ofAwaji (1813-1880), left Japan in January 1860 on the American warship Powhatan, A Dutch-built Japanese ship, Kanrin MarUy sailed with the American ship, with Lieutenant Brooke andhis men aboard to help train the Japanese crew, [footnote 9] When the ambassadors arrived inWashington, they had a full schedule of visits. On May 21,1860, the ambassadors were given aguided tour of the Patent Office by Commissioner Thomas. The model cases were unlocked,and Commissioner Thomas handed them for closer inspection any models which seemed tointerest them. The Japanese seemed to understand everything that was shown [Pg 155] to them.There was a great crowd of people following them everywhere they went, observing the strangesight of Oriental men in silk brocade robes, knee britches, and dark stockings, who worecurious hats resembling small houses strapped to the top of their heads. In fact, theambassadors were so besieged by a crowd that they could hardly move, so they cut short theirvisit to the Patent Office. However, some of the Japanese made several return visits to thePatent Office to examine models and drawings. Others were frequent visitors to MatthewBrady's gallery, learning the daguerreotype business, [footnote 10] One of the extensive crowdnoted the visit in his diary, [footnote 11] On May 29,1860, Charles Mason was invited byProfessor Joseph Henry to meet the Japanese ambassadors at the Smithsonian. Charles Masonwas not the only one to go out of his way to meet the ambassadors — whole families travelled500 miles by railroad to see the fabled visitors from the Far East. The Japanese wereunfamiliar with American customs, and Muragaki noted in his diary that another member ofhis party drank the water in his finger bowl at a state dinner. At the Smithsonian they saw wigsworn by several former Presidents and thought they had seen a disgusting display of scalpsremoved from the heads of dead men.

[Page 155 illustration: Portrait of Muragaki Norimasa]

Upon the transfer of Commissioner Thomas to the Treasury Department, Chief Clerk SamuelT. Shugert became acting Commissioner for a period of months. He had acted in this officebefore, during Mr. Mason's attempted resignation in 1855. Mr. Shugert had been a clerk in thePatent Office since about May 1845, [footnote 12] and he was Chief Clerk under Judge Mason.He remained Chief Clerk until removed from the office about June 10,1861. [footnote 13] Hemade the Annual Report for 1860.

Rufus Randolph Rhodes (1818-1870), a lawyer of Louisiana, was appointed assistant examinerin the Patent Office on June 20,1857. [footnote 14] He was soon a principal examiner and amember of the Board of Appeals. On November 24,1860, Judge Mason received a letter fromW. W. White of Burlington, Iowa, suggesting ways that war could be avoided. Mr. Masonshowed the letter to several Southern friends, who said if there were 100 men like Mr. White inthe North, they felt they would have hope of avoiding war. When he showed it to Rufus Rhodes,Rhodes said that if he thought there were two men like Mr. White in the North, he would have

hope. But hope soon disappeared, and Mr. Rhodes resigned from the office and headed South.

Their letters are to various members of the family, includingtheir father, their aunt, Ann L. Hardeman, and their sistersQ^delaide^ettie,and Annie Elizabeth. Four diaries (1850-1862) kept by Ann L. Hardemanreflect the troubled times in which they were written. Letters from ColonelOscar J. E. Stuart to his sons-in-law, John Dimitry,^who married Adelaide L.Stuart, and Robert B. Mayes, who married Annie E. Stuart, during theReconstruction period, are of considerable interest.

Two interesting broadsides include one issued by Central Mississippi FemaleCollege, in 1867, where Miss A. L.
