WASHINGTON LETTER.

ry to the British vernlnent
which is pledged by formal
to abide by the decis

British government has. up
on more than one occasion
in the past displayed some
very queer idras OF the mean

1t has been suggested here
that the talk about the Eng

The Wife Of the Fl st Governor Of
Tennessee.

One dayin June 1776, there
came to Watauga Fort, Ten
nessee, for protection from
the Indians, n party OF set-
tiers, among whom wasCath
crime Sheriff., a young girl
distinguished for nerve and
flpetness. She was u daring
and graceful rider on horse
bark, and could outrun nr
: outleap,nlost of the men Of
her acquaintance.
The day after theirarrival.
q group Of women had stroll
ed out a little way from the
fort. when they were surpris-
ed by a party of savages, who
killed one woman and endea-
yored to take the Others pris
oners. The Indians cut off
the direct passage to the gate
of the fort, and the women
were obliged to take a Gil
cuitous path, horing to be
able to climb the palisades.
Miss Sheriff. reached the
\ walls in safety, and was b..
ing helped over by some per-
son ON the inside, when his
foot slipped and she fell to
the ground.
The Indians were rapidly
approaching. 1t was well for
her that she had prided her.
self on her :eapihg, and had
procticed it daily, for q h @
must depend upon t h Il t
means alone for entering the
fort, or remain outside and
be taken captive. 1t was in
deed a leap for life, and asuc-
cessful one. She was over in
a moment. aud eaiiglltin the

other than Captain John Sc

Captain Sewer was a mar

ten children when Catherine

Sheriff. first met him; but his
1 wife dying a few months alter
this, he married Catherine i,
year later.
The manner of their first
meeting was the subject of
many jokes between them;
and Catharine SEWER said
many times that she would
undergo the peril and effort
of that time to again fall in-
, to his arms, and feel so out
OF danger.
In nfter-lfe she used to say
that first introduction W a s
emblematic of their adoption
:, to each other; that they were
destined TO lie of mutual help
in future dangers, and to o.
vercome obstacles together.

A more delightful home il
would be difficult to find. 1t
was known as the ''hoshlta-
BILE mansion OF the first Gov
ernor of Tennessee. the peo-
ple's favorite." All who met
Mrs. Sewer at this time, were
impressed by her dignity and
gracious manner, as well as
by her wise counsel and Judi
cious advise on matters OF
Importance.
Her education was the re-
suit OF observing the ways of
men and nature rather than
from the study of books. She
was q fluent talker, and had
a good command of English.
After the death of her hns-
band, in the early part Of the
present century Mrs. Sevierre
moved TO another part ofthe
State, near where many of
her children resided. She re-
fused to make her home with
any of them, choosing a very
retired spot upon which to
build her home. This was a
log cabin with bedrooms, di-
ming room :and Kitchen. 1t
was ON a mountain side hear
a clear spring ofliving water.
High mountains rose on all
sides OF the dwelling, a nd
back of list ood a dense wood.
Here she livetlfor many years
attended byfourold servants
and seldom leaving the spot
even to visit her children.
One who visited her there
says she never forgot t h a t
she was the widow Of General
and Governor Sewer. Who
ever saw her would not bS

conversation WAS most in

ter being spread out during
a visitors stay was carefully
busted by the servants, bs-
fore being folded up and put
away. At other times t h g
well-scrubbed floor served ev-
cry purpose. In her rownroom
she had a hearth rug that
was presented to her while
she WAS the governors WIFE,.
Near this she sat, with her
knitting always in her hands
and her Bible close by, while
