the sheriff has just gone into court
with a mace and sword carried before
him as if he were the lord mayor Of
London. Republican institutions will
go to the devil, sir, If it is not stopped
and stopped soon.'''
Having delivered himself of this har-
angue without seeming to care whether
1t would please the bystanders or not,
the tall young man shook hands twice
with young Sewer and turned toward
the court house, followed by cheer
from the Tackles or plebeians, as he
would have called them in the Ian
guage of the volume of Plutarch he
carried in his saddle bags He had
way of his own in getting through a
crowd, and few minutes later he was
in the court house and inside the rail-
ing, talking in low tones to two other
young men whose conversation showed
that they were law students and fierce
republicans like himself. "Silence III
the court!'' said the high sheriff, stern
ly, and the undersheriff, who held the
rOyallstle mace which had helped to
occasion the "Jacobinical'' outburst,
brought the handle of it down on his
desk in a series of menacing thumps
AS the noise ceased the judge looked
over his spectacles at the prisoners
dock. ''The defendant has heard the
Indictment charging him with high
treason against the sovereign common
wealth of North Carolina, by the grace
of God free and independent. Let him
stand up before the bar of this court
and plead whether he be guilty or not
guilty."
Sewer rose slowly. He was smooth
ly shaven, and his face, still unwrin-
killed., gave him the appearance of be-
ing 10 years younger than he really
was. He had dressed himself care
fully in the full regimentals of a Con-
tlnental colonel, and when he rose to
plead, the crowd outside, seeing him
through the windows and being safe
from the anger of the bench, gave it's
verdict in the case by a lusty cheer.
The judge frowned. and the sheriff's
mace once more pounded the desk. AS
the cheer died away Sewer began:

: IL Kin e'S Memory,

The recent distribution of priz>
awards of the Brussels exhibition was
an elaborate Junction.; all the cabinet
officers, many high diplomatic person
ages and all the exhibitors were pres
ent. The king presided, having at his
side the Princess Clementine, the
Count of Flanders and Prince Albert.
The minister of commerce was about
to begin his speech, when the king
began to speak earnestly with Prince
Albert. Suddenly look of surprise
passed over his face; he pulled his
handkerchief out and tied it into a
knot, and said, smiling, '*That's what
[ do to remind myself" Then he put
his handkerchief back into his pocket,
and the minister, who had paused to
see what his royal highness was aboat,
went on with the function.-NewY York

until 10 o'clock, and long before that
hour both the court house and the
square around it we're crowded with
men IN every variety of costume from
the uniform of general of North Car

the Watauga backwoodsman. The

colonial ancestors carried with them

the crowd kept in a good humor.
There had been only one fight during
the morning, and it was all too brief.
In the crowd which Shurrahed for this

place during the day, there was "a tall,
lank, uncouth looking young mar, with

Gallatin, his name was Andrew Jack

trial, intending to proceed afterward
to Robertson's colony on the Tennes-

necessary for the purposes Of this his
tory to dwell on that point. 1t is
enough to say that he had a keen eye
for horseflesh, and when three stall
