House of Stuart.

Stuart was the name of the royal house
of Scotland. 1t originated in the fact OF
the family having for many generations
held the office OF High Steward ol Scot
land. The family is said to have de
scended from FIeance, the son of Ban
quo. who was murdered by Macbeth, but
of This there is no sufficient evidence.
Walter, the Steward, of Scotland, about
the middle of the fourteenth century,
married Margaret Bruce, the issue OF
this union was Rnbart Steward, or Stew
art. who assembled the throne when he
was ffty-fve years old. He was the
first of the Stuart line. The Stnarts
were probably the most unfortunate oi
dvnasties. James was murdered ;
James III was killed by the priest who
absolved him; James IV deposed ;
James V died broken-hrarted. While
dangerously i'll, news was brought to him
that the queen had given birth to a
daughter. us it ?" said he, reflect
inc on the alliance which lad placed the
Stuart family on the throne; then Gods
will be done 1t came with a lass, and
it will 60 with lass" Mary, the
daughter born to the dying K NJ, was be-
headed; her son James assembled the
throne as James vi, and afterward>
brcamo James | of England; his son
Henry died in his early youth his son
Charles was beheaded; both grandson,
were driven into exile-one was torma
" deposed; and the Stuart line came to
an end with Queen Anne.
Her Majesty is descended from tie
house of Brunswick, which again descen
ded FROM both the houses of Este and
Guelph. These latter were united b.
marriage in the ninth century, when
Cunegunda married Azo, the second
marquis Of Este. A son was born Of tht
union, who Inherited the Guelph prop
erty on the death of an uncle, and tb''
son bore the names of his father an,
mother, being styled d'Este Guelph
The name of Guelph is generally con
sidered the proper surname OF the roya
family, although authorities differ on iht
subject. The family of the late Prime
Consort were descended from a Saxon
chief named Wiltikin, who defied th'
power of Charlemagne. Later in th'
history of Germany, the Reformer
found sure and constant friends IN Fred
erlck the Wise, John the Constant, ant

right was contested by Capt Lonergan, who

ti6ed how affairs stood, ordered the parade
to be dismissed, but Lonergan ordered the
companies to remain. A few marched off and
this others remained, and were immediately
dismissed by Lonergan. 1t made quite an
