In 1801, moved to net apart this

Uence, determin
ation expressed in fuco nnd osturo, we
think wo hear him saying to his majes
ty's ofllccr, who has consented to with
draw ono of two regiments of soldiery
occupying Boston: "Sir, night is ap
proaching; mi tinmcdluto answer is ex
pected. Both legiments or none." Who
that looks at this well raised, forceful
flguro will doubt tho truth of hbtory
which records that both regiments wcro
promptly withdrawn? Could Massachu
setts havo chosen a better representative
than this poor but Incorruptible forerun
ner of Independence, who, with John
Hancock, hud tho honor of being ex
cepted from Gen. Gago's offer of pardon
to all who would Bubmlt to tho crown?
Next to Adams stands a flue liguro in
Spanish cloak, holding In hh hand tho
constitution of his stato of Maine, Wil
liam King, who wot on early advocate
of separation of Malno from Mussuchu
sotts and Mulno's first governor. As yet
Muino has but ono representative in this

wo sco tho man
who refused to

whoso conn sol
was so highly
valued In tho
dnrk days of '70

used to say, "Let

ligerently, head up, oyes shooting defi
ance the wholo poso ono of igor

render of Ticondorogn in tho name of
Jehovah and tho Continental congress.
Ethan Allen is tho hern of tho young,
known ubovo most of his greater con
temporaries, nnd tho artist has properly
preserved all tho spirit of tho hero and
his deeds, though of tho man himself no
portrait Is known to jiosterity. A truly
martial figure this, with its epaulets,
cockado with rosette, broad sash w ith
heavy gold tassels, rising three feet taller
than its life sizo neighbor, Trumbull, and
with n great marblo boot f out teen inches
long nnd six braid. Ills is the only
covered head in thonugust assemblage.
In his neighbor, Lewis Cass, tho latest
comer In tho gallery, wo find our first
swallow tail. His is n portly llguio,
with a strong, lino face, a drawn, obsti
nate mouth. This sculptor shows us
that neither toga nor uniform is neces
sary in tho making of an heroic flguro.
At tho feet is n strong box full of papers
and books. Could tho artist have meant
this ns n suggestion of bonds mid money,
denoting Cass ns tho only rich man in
tiio Pantheon, mado n millionaire by his
lucky purchase for $3,000 of COO acres of
