eminent. To be thus cast off, by the
parent state aroused a feeling of upIest
and rebellious discomfort. "A conveption
presided over by Sewer met at jones'
boro and decided to form a government
for themselves. They properly Appealed
to congress for advice as to a suitable
constitution. North Carolina ztook alarm
and annulled the act Of cession. 9.Yhe

law, which he did with wise discretion
and perfect good faith. ~ :
In 17S5 a second movement in favor of
independence became SO strong that hyen
Sewer was carried along with it. The
people of Holston, numbering inySall
about $4,000, sent representatives, to
Greenville, which they called their Seap-
ital, and elected John Sewer their gov
ernor. They proposed to extend theiE ter
rtory to the bend of the TennesseeSand
include about oLe-third of Kentucky.
The recognition asked for from congress
VIZ not forthcoming. Congress desired
the North Carolina cession renewed so
as to bring the separate territory under
federal control. The state deckped.
Sewer held that the state could not re-
woke the first act of ceSSion. An attempt
to gain the influence and support of Ben
jamln Franklin by naming the proposed
state FARMLAND, or Franklin, signally
failed. Virginia got excited over these
events, but congress kept cool. This
trouble and the inability to enforces two
Indian treaties caused Gen. Washington
to utter timely word of wisdom: Vhat
experience has taught us that meme will
not adopt and carry into execution meas
ures best calculated for their own good
without the Intervention of a coegciye
power" !
Meanwhile the Franklin settlers were
fighting both Indians and each other.
This could not last. In May, 1887, Gov.
Caswell issued a mild but firm proclaana-
ton and Sewers territorial government
of Franklin was at an end. e.

Various TRANSACTIONS of the "Lusiad"
have been made in English, with vary
ing degrees OF success. Unlike the
''Iliad," the "Aeneid,'' and the paradise
Lost" this poem is divided into stanzas,
in the original and has the grace OF
rhyme. Those translatons which retain
this form are to me the best. The story
of Adamastor occurs in the Fifth Canto,
in which Da CANA, having repaired to
the city of Melinde Can old town of East
Africa, is relating to the native king
the more notable events of Portuguese
history and the story of his expedition,
and has come to the passage of the
stormy Cape" From one OF the older
TRANSACTIONS (by Burton) quote the fol-
lowing stanzas. Lacking the grace and
music of the original. and archaic in their
expression, they are perhaps all the bet
ter suited to an ancient prophecy on this
account:

Lamos, the Spanish commander at Nat
chez, who, after mutual inequalities,
was SO impressed with the rank and i'm
portance of the American officer that he
consigned his cargo and supercargo, free
from detention and duty, to his official
superior at New Orleans. Wilkinson's
fine bearing and address would have
enabled him, without an introduction, to
have reached Gov. Hiro, who in 1nesse
was mere than his equal. Both men
saw that they had nothing to gain by

ingly great, and chiefly of a description
of people who are not very subordinate
to the law and constitution of the STATE

Philadelphia were too much along sec

The more judicious did not care for Sec

But all at last, including Jay, wanted the

Gardoqui and Miro were working at cross
purposes, and, at the end of 1888, at odds.
Miro's chief supports were Wilkinson and
McGillivray, and both had failed him.
