step farther, which, to crafty curiosity it
may not be amiss to report. Hilman, in

Temple of Peace in Rome the plundcr of

the prey of the African Vantals, and were
consigned as trophies to Carthage" Again
he says, The ship which bore the gods of

SUPREME CoURT OF TIE CHEnoKEEs.-
A correspondent of the Arkansas Intclli-
Sencer, writing from Tahlcquah, capital of
the Cherokee Nation, gives an interesting
account ofa Nfull 7bloodcd Indian Supreme
Court:
"As one walksinto the room whom the
Supreme Court is in session, he is at once
impressed witha feeling of respect and awe.
The room scrupulously clean, the long list
of rules tackled to post, the grave and
sage appearance of the five Judges, and the
respectful demeanor of the attorneys, re-
minds one of the higher courts of justice in
the States. a cautious man, ON entering
the COURTROOM, will at once read the rules,
tth9t he may conform to them while he re-
Ihains. The most important to strangers
are those makingit penal to spit upon the
floor or walls of the room, to enter without
first taking Oft the hat, to smoke in the
presence of the court, or come inside the
bar; while the rule of most consequence to
practising attorneys seems to be that which
directs tho language of address to the court,
which must be in the following words !:
