Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H. R. 7152) which was referred to said committee November 27, 1963 in support of which motion the undersigned Members of the House of Representatives affix their signatures, to wit: 1. Emanuel Celler 2.

Spooky kings suggest me spooky books for spooky season spooky please

gonna give you my whole-ass list so far you're spooky welcome

absolutely epic, spooky as hell, favourites, read these

all of these stood out to me for one reason or another or several. short stories denotes collections; novella means a short novel in the technical sense of the word (too long for a short story, too short for a novel); short novel means a novel-length book that I feel could be read quickly or in one sitting ("easy reading" but still very good); novel is the expected length of a novel; and long novel is a 800+ page epic.

Wyrd and Other Derelictions by Adam Nevill (short stories)

Tales for Twilight: Two Hundred Years of Scottish Ghost Stories ed. by Alistair Kerr (short stories)

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver (short novel)

Just After Sunset by Stephen King (short stories)

Thin Air by Michelle Paver (short novel)

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks (fictional non-fiction)

The Fisherman by John Langan (novel)

The Woman in Black by Susan Hill (short novel)

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (labyrinth)

Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident by Donnie Eichar (non-fiction)

Starve Acre by Andrew Michael Hurley (novel)

The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley (novel)

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (novel)

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier (novel)

The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters (novel)

Selected Ghost Stories by M. R. James (short stories)

IT by Stephen King (long novel)

books that are still epic but slightly less so but still you should read them

these books are great but they were 4/5 stars rather than 5/5 stars.

John Dies at the End by David Wong (novel)

North American Lake Monsters by Nathan Ballingrud (short stories)

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (novella)

The Penguin Book of Ghost Stories ed. Michael Newton (short stories)

February 25th 1765 saw the birth of Jean Armour, “Belle of Mauchline” and wife to our National Bard Robert Burns.

For all his philandering ways when he was a young lad there can be no doubt that Robert Burns loved his wife, Jean was second oldest of the eleven children of stonemason James Armour and Mary Smith. She met Robert Burns on a “drying green” in Mauchline around 1784 when she chased his dog away from her laundry. According to Armour’s testimony in 1827, she met Burns again at a local dance and she “fell acquainted” with him.

Jean became pregnant with twins early in 1786. Her announcement, in March 1786, that she was expecting Robert Burns’ twins caused her father to be “in the greatest distress, and [he] fainted away”. Burns signed a paper attesting his intent to marry Jean, but her father disapproved of the union.

James Armour destroyed the “certificate of informal marriage agreement” between Robert and Jean and he removed his daughter to Paisley to prevent a local scandal. However, word had spread and the Mauchline Kirk recalled her on 10th June 1786 to admit that she was unmarried and pregnant and to confirm the father’s name. Burns was called by the Mauchline Kirk on 25th June 1786 and admitted his part in the affair.

His letters from this period indicate that he intended to marry Jean Armour as soon as they realized she was pregnant, but had been discouraged by her reluctance to disobey her father. By this time Burns was romantically involved with ‘Highland’ Mary Campbell and she was also pregnant. They were considering a move to Jamaica. The emigration fell through and Mary died in October 1786 before she could give birth.

Believing he had been abandoned by Jean Armour, he set about having himself declared single. Jean’s father, James Armour issued a warrant against him and Burns went into hiding.

Jean remained with her parents in the village of Mauchline, Robert was hiding out at the farm at Mossgiel. The couple continued to live apart even after the birth of their twins Robert and Jean, born 3rd September 1786. Following the success of The Kilmarnock Edition, Burns temporarily moved to Edinburgh. He returned intermittently to Mauchline, during which time Jean became pregnant again.

When Burns returned permanently on 23rd February 1788 he found Jean was destitute and had been expelled from the family home. They reconciled their relationship, and Burns found her a place to stay. On 3rd March 1788 she went into labour and delivered a second set of twins, two girls, one of whom died on 10 March 1788, the other on 22nd March 1788.

In the light of Burns’s new-found celebrity as a poet, James Armour relented and allowed his daughter to be married to him. Although their marriage was registered on 5th August 1788 in Mauchline, the parish records describe them as having been “irregularly married some years ago”. She and Burns moved to Ellisland Farm where they stayed until 1791 when they moved to Dumfries, where both would live for the rest of their lives. Jean Armour and Robert Burns had nine children together (he had at least another four by other women), the last of whom was born on the day of his funeral in July 1796.

Her widowhood and the straitened circumstances she found herself in after Burns’s death attracted national attention and a charitable fund was collected for her and the children. She survived her husband by 38 years, and lived to see his name become celebrated throughout the world. Twenty years after his death, his fame had reached such a point that his remains were removed from their modest grave in St Michael’s Kirkyard, Dumfries, and placed in a specially commissioned mausoleum. Here, Jean Armour was buried when she died in 1834. Statues of Jean were erected in Mauchline in 2002, and in Dumfries, opposite St Michael’s Kirk, in 2004.

The first pic is an imagination of Jean as there are no paintings of her when young, second painted by John Alexander Gilfillan, in 1822 aged 57 and finally the statue of Jean Armour in Dumfries

There are many references to Jean in Burns’ poems, but the most famous is Bonie Jean.

There was a lass, and she was fair, At kirk or market to be seen; When a’ our fairest maids were met, The fairest maid was bonie Jean. And aye she wrought her mammie’s wark, And aye she sang sae merrilie; The blythest bird upon the bush Had ne'er a lighter heart than she. But hawks will rob the tender joys That bless the little lintwhite’s nest; And frost will blight the fairest flowers, And love will break the soundest rest. Young Robie was the brawest lad, The flower and pride of a’ the glen; And he had owsen, sheep, and kye, And wanton naigies nine or ten. He gaed wi’ Jeanie to the tryste, He danc’d wi’ Jeanie on the down; And, lang ere witless Jeanie wist, Her heart was tint, her peace was stown! As in the bosom of the stream, The moon-beam dwells at dewy e'en; So trembling, pure, was tender love Within the breast of bonie Jean. And now she works her mammie’s wark, And aye she sighs wi’ care and pain; Yet wist na what her ail might be, Or what wad make her weel again. But did na Jeanie’s heart loup light, And didna joy blink in her e'e, As Robie tauld a tale o’ love Ae e'ening on the lily lea? The sun was sinking in the west, The birds sang sweet in ilka grove; His cheek to hers he fondly laid, And whisper’d thus his tale o’ love: “O Jeanie fair, I lo'e thee dear; O canst thou think to fancy me, Or wilt thou leave thy mammie’s cot, And learn to tent the farms wi’ me? "At barn or byre thou shalt na drudge, Or naething else to trouble thee; But stray amang the heather-bells, And tent the waving corn wi’ me.” Now what could artless Jeanie do? She had nae will to say him na: At length she blush’d a sweet consent, And love was aye between them twa.
