INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY VOLUMELVII JUNE1961 NUMBER2 ..................................... ........ .... ".".".-- Daniel D. Pratt: Lawyer and Legislator Joseph E. Holliduy* It has been Daniel Pratt's fate to be one of the nearly forgotten senators from Indiana. He served in Congress for only one term, 1869-1875, and no important piece of legisla- tion is connected with his name. He was a modest, rather self-effacing man who served in an arena where modesty is seldom the rule. Active during a period of extreme political partisanship, he was a moderate. In an age when the reputa- tion of many politicians became spotted, his shone with luster. His Senate colleague from Indiana was Oliver P. Morton, the Civil War governor, who had entered the Senate in 1867 and whose prominence always overshadowed that of the Junior Senator from Indiana. After completing his term in the Senate, Pratt became commissioner of internal revenue at the time of the exposure of the Whiskey Ring. As did so many other good men connected with the Grant admin- istration, he resigned without completing his term, because the President insisted on dismissing a courageous investigator of the Whiskey Frauds. Although Pratt lacked political flair and brilliance, he was an able public servant, an arduous worker, and a politician of integrity. Pratt came to Indiana from the East as a young man. He was born in Palermo, Maine, on October 26, 1813, the son of a country physician. His family, however, soon moved to Madison County in western New York.' His formal educa- tion was better than that of most Americans of his time. -

The Greek Underworld
The Greek Underworld The Greek Underworld There are several interpretations and descriptions of the Greek Underworld. The most important thing to remember is that with the Greek Underworld, like most Greek Myths, to the Underworld also differs according to context. Below are examples of the Underworld as told by specific people, as well as some excerpts of different aspects of the Greek Underworld that seem to be common among authors. Homer’s Underworld: A brief Overview Traveling to the Underworld : Step 1: Sail to the edge of the world, arriving on the beach of the ocean that encompasses existence. Step 2: Arrive at the spot where the two rivers of the Underworld, Pyriphlegethon (Fire) and Kokytos (Lamentation) converge into the River Acheron (Groaning). Step 3: Sacrifice a ram and a ewe. Collect the blood in a vessel to attract the souls of the dead, who upon drinking the blood will gain the ability to speak with living humans. Homer describes the Underworld in the story of Odysseus. When in the Underworld, Odysseus sees many examples of punishment, most of which are now told as common stories in mythology. Some examples include: Tityos having his liver pecked out by vultures, a punishment for raping the goddess Leto, or Sisyphos who pushes a boulder up a hill for eternity for trying to escape death. One thing that is important about these punishments, is that the crimes are explicitly crimes against the honor of the gods. Aristophanes’ Underworld: A brief Overview Aristophanes provides a look into the Underworld in his satirical farce, Frogs. -

The Harmony of Virtue
THE HARMONY OF VIRTUE EARLY CULTURAL WRITINGS SRI AUROBINDO SRI AUROBINDO ASHRAM PONDICHERRY VOLUME 3 SRI AUROBINDO BIRTH CENTENARY LIBRARY. DE LUXE EDITION Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust 1972. Published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram Pondicherry PRINTED IN INDIA Facsimile of a corrected proof of The Age of Kalidasa, re- vised in 1929 —pp. 220-221 Section One THE HARMONY OF VIRTUE 1890-92 “I read more than once Plato's Republic and Symposium, but only extracts from his other writings. It is true that under his impress I rashly started writing at the age of 18 an explanation of the cosmos on the foundation of the principle of Beauty and Harmony, but I never got beyond the first three or four chap- ters.“ From notes dictated by Sri Aurobindo The Harmony of Virtue Book One Keshav Ganesh [Desai] — Broome Wilson Keshav: My dear Broome, how opportune is your arrival! You will save me from the malady of work, it may be, from the dangerous opium of solitude. How is it I have not seen you for the last fortnight? Wilson: Surely, Keshav, you can understand the exigencies of the Tripos. Keshav: Ah, you are a happy man. You can do what you are told. But put off your academical aspirations until tomorrow and we will talk. The cigarettes are on the mantelpiece — ex- cuse my laziness! — and the lucifers are probably stocked in the fruit-shelf. And here is coffee and a choice between cake and biscuits. Are you perfectly happy? Wilson: In Elysium. But do not let the cigarettes run dry, the alliance of a warm fire and luxurious cushions will be too strong for my vigilance. -
Travels in Elysium
About Travels in Elysium ‘Then chalk it up to experience, Mr Pedrosa. Trust no one. Believe no one. Question everything. Remember, there is nothing here you can take at face value… No — not even yourself.’ It was the chance of a lifetime. A dream job in the southern Aegean. Apprentice to the great archaeologist Marcus Huxley, lifting a golden civilisation from the dead… Yet trading rural England for the scarred volcanic island of Santorini, 22‑year old Nicholas Pedrosa is about to blunder into an ancient mystery that will threaten his liberty, his life, even his most fundamental concepts of reality. An island that blew apart with the force of 100,000 atomic bombs… A civilisation prised out of the ash, its exquisite frescoes bearing a haunting resemblance to Plato’s lost island paradise, Atlantis… An archaeologist on a collision course with a brutal police state… A death that may have been murder… And a string of inexplicable events entwining past and present with bewildering intensity… Can this ancient conundrum be understood before it engulfs them all? ‘This extraordinary novel, part murder mystery, part metaphysical thriller, kept me guessing until the very last page. The intellectual duel between the troubled hero and his ruthless mentor is mesmerising. William Azuski’s treatment of the Atlantis legend is completely original and I have rarely read a novel with such a strong sense of place. The bizarre landscapes of Santorini and the daily lives of its people, both ancient and modern, are vividly evoked. Anyone who enjoys the work of Umberto Eco, Orhan Pamuk or Carlos Ruiz Zafón should try this book.’ — Geraldine Harris, author, Egyptologist, and a member of the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the University of Oxford. -

History of the Know Nothing Party in Indiana by CARL FREMONTBRAND, A
History of the Know Nothing Party In Indiana By CARL FREMONTBRAND, A. M. (Continued) ORGANIZATION Thanks to the e3orts of that bitter enemy of Know Noth- ingism, the Indianapolis Sentinel, we have a knowledge of the inner workings of the Order in Indiana as it existed in the fall and winter of 1854.1 A description of its machinery at this time, when it was in the height of its career, will not fit it at any other period, for it was continually in evolution. The ritual was adopted at the meeting of the Grand Council at New York City in June, 1854, and revised at the Cincinnati meeting in November. The order was organized on the lodge system in a hierarchy of subordinate, county, state and national councils. Subor- dinate councils could be established only with the sanction of the state council. An authorized agent of the latter could con- fer the first and second degrees upon the applicants for a charter, who must be at least nine in number, and organize them into a council. For the charter the subordinate council paid the sum of two dollars to the state secretary and five dollars €or the entire work of the order. Each council was designated by a name and a number. To become a member of the supreme order of the Star Spangled Banner a person must be twenty-one years of age, a believer in the Supreme Being, a protestant, born of protestant parents within the limits of the jurisdiction of the United States, reared under protestant influence and not united in marriage with a Catholic wife. -

To facilitate reference to the German-language original, its page numbers are repeated in bold-face type at the proper points in the English translation. AS a general rule, the original text has been followed without significant deviation, although some overly lengthy paragraphs have been divided in the interests of readability. Proper names, though in most cases typographically highlighted in the original, are generally printed in regular type, and their spelling has been regularized to some extent and occasionally supplemented by the insertion of alternative names more familiar to readers of English. Footnotes are those of the original author unless otherwise indicated The Tables of Contents of the two translated volumes are placed at the beginning rather than the end of the respective volumes, and the "errata" list at the end of the German edition has been omitted since the necessary corrections, where relevant, have been made directly in the English text. -
