Site live* in Mailen; she is seven
teen years old, or thereabouts, and she
is uii ophiologLst—that Is to say her
■qwclalty is snakes. Very often, iu
pleasant summer weather, tills young
girl, with hands clad In high buckskin
'loves and armed with a bottle of
i*hlorofo**in, lurks about the feus and
pools and thlckcUVwatchingfor snakes,
:i girl fait* to litok upon, sauntering,
one might imtnagiue, with eyes u|>on
the ground, in maiden meditation,
fancy free. She Is in maiden medita
tion* Indeed, hut not fancy free. Her
fancy is bound to snakes and she Is
searching intently for some variety not
yet added to her collection of several
hundred, l'rencutly she sb-p<; with
an eager gleam in her eyes, she crunch
es along a step or two, her glove-clad
right hand drawn back as if to clutch
s. me object; s|»e springs forward to
ward the ground with a swift motion,
aud then stands erect with the body ol
a snake writhing almiit her arm lu
dcs|»crate throes. She has It by the
neck aud proceeds calmly to thrust its
head Into the neck of her bottle of
chloroform.
Not many days ago this young scien
tist, after a rather dcsj»erate contest,
captured in the fells a blacksnake so
large and powerful that when it
wrapped it Itself in the mad gra*p of
its body al*mt her arm it strairn*<l her
cords aud muscles so severely that she
was lame for a week. It did not pre
vent her however, from sallying forth
again, and when she happened to per
ceive, at the inargiu of a
tinol, ' a very large watersnakc
of a variety which she Inul not secured
for her collection, she lay in wait for
it. As the snake pounced upon a frog
she fMmnced tiftou the snake; but the
reptile was in his element and escaped
her. Was rite to lie baffled In that
way? Not at all. She inaiutged to
anchor a frog iu some way upon a
stone at the edge of a pool, at a spot
where the bank was overhung with
bit-lies. Then she stealthily laid her
self flat upon her face under the bushes
at the brink of the water, and there she
lay In ambush fora longtime, while
tlie snake curiously eyed the frog. At
last the snake, with sudden resolution,
made bold to seize the frog; hut as he
did so a gloved hand, swifter than his
owu sinuous motion, darted from the
bank, and he was a prisoner, splashing
the water of the |»ool in his vain cflbrt
to escape. The girl has one grief—she
lias tmt been able to capture with her
own hands :» rattlesnake.
MUTILATED MONEY.
ilank Note* Can Be KrieemrS at
VVukbluglon Eveu If Bcfacef to
Aaliea. t .
From an Interview with a It inker.
Unless tlie mouey’s identity Is en
tirely gone It Is redeemable. In fact,
money in the shape of ashes ean be
restored, and after the great Chleagn
lire ashes were redeemed. * It came
about iu this way : It U customary In
banks to do money up in packages,
say of $10,000 each, and in the
big lire, of course, hundreds of
these packages were reduced to ashes.
Hut the shape of the packages
remained, aud wherever the
package could be sent to Washing
ton without crumbling the ashes, the
money was sure to Im replaced. It
was done by nimble*Angered women
in the Treasury Depatment, whose
trained touch and sight are wonderful
acute. It is well-known that the ashes
o 'a newspaper dampened will show
t -aces of the printing. So it was witli
bills. These women would moisteo
the packages of apparently useless
a-hes, an»l to their experienced eye tlie
u milter apd-cltaraeter ■ I the bill would
at once apt tear. So titousands and
and thousands of dollars were redeemed
by tljese patient women.
A country merchant, afraid of banks,
placed a large suiu of money In bills In
a stone jar ion a shelf in-his sti-iv,
where he thought it would be quite
safe. When he went to loolf at It one
day some time alter it was a mass of _
fragments. Mice had got into the jar ,f«
and chewed the bills into tlie minutest
|N»rt*. They had fixed them up and
altogether it was a fearful looking
tues?. He scut' a cigar box full of it to
me. 1 tor warded it to Wariiington.
and w hat do you thluk f Out of tlie
$1,1 -I.Voriginally lathe pile* little over
$1,000 wii> redeemed, the |*arta beyond
recall being only the mere fibres of the
bills. So tlie utau loot only $100 by his
fuolUhuess.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
It will be precisely a hundred years
to-morrow since tlie Constitution of
the United States was unanimously
ratified, in Convention, at Philade!-'
pliia, by the delegates of the State*
there represented. It was provided
that the ratification* of the Conven
tions of nine States should l»e snflicient
for tlie estal li-bmeut of die Constitu
tion between the States so ratifying It.
The ninth State was New Hampshire,
which ratified the Constitution on
June SI, 1789. Rhode Island, die last
State ot the “Old Thirteen,” having
squarely rejected the Consiltudon in
1788, ratified it on May 29,1790. There
was, as is seen, doubt and hesitation
among die States.
The reusous for die formation of the
new* Constitution were forcibly set
forth by Edmund Randolph, ot Vir
ginia, in the Philadelphia Convention,
Tlie old confederation was tuade in tlie
iufancy of the science of written Con
stitution*; when die inefficiency of re
quisitions was unknown; when no
commercial discord had arisen among
States; when no rebellion like that iu
Massachusetts had broken out; when
foreign debts were not urgent; when
the havoc of paper money had not been
forsern; when treaties hail not been
violate*!; and when nothing better
than that which was contained lu the
articles of confederation could have
been conceded by States jeah*u*of dielr
sovereignty. Rut tlie old confeder
ation offered no security against for
eign invasion, for Congress could
neither prevent nor conduct a war.
The Federal Government had no
power. Edmund Randolph said, to
check a quarrel lietween separate
States; nor to suppri-s a r bell ion in
any one of them; nor to eotab.ish a
productive im|*ost; nor to count*-rac*
the commercial .regulations of other na
tions; nor to defend itself against cn-
roachment* or the States. It had been
freely prophesied that the downfall of
the United States was at baud, audit
was iu onler to avert this disaster—a
disaster not only to the States of North
America, hut to liberty-loving peoples
everywhere—that the delegates came
together in Philadelphia.
They have hail but one pnrp'xse,
which was, in the words of the pre
amble of tlie Constitution, “to form a
more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the coiumou detenu*, promote the
general welfare aud secure the bless-
ngs of lilicrty to themselves and to
their posterity.” There were grave
differences of opinion with reganl to
the means of making the Feelers! Gov
ernment sufticie* tlv strong without
tin necessarily weakening the States.
There were times when it seemed itn-
|ioftsib!e that an agreement rimuM !*•
readied. But the appeals of the great,
men in the Convention to each other
were not unavailing, though the last
difficulties were only removed on this
very day, a century since Well, then,
can’lie understood the feeling which
animated Benjamin FranKiin upon the
completion of this work. When It ap
peared that the unanimous consent of
all the eleven States present lu Con
vention was recorded iu favor of the
Constitution, Franklin, looking to-
wa«*d tlie sun. whirl, was blazoned on
the President’s chair, said of it to tlmsc
near him: “In the vicissitudes of
hope and fear I was not able to tell
whether It is rising or setting; now 1
know that It is the rising sun.”
The members, as the venerable his
torian tells us, were awe-struck at thr-
rcsiilt of their counsels. The Consti
tution was a nobler work tlciu any one
of them had believed It possible to de
vise. “the most “wonderful work ever
struck off at a given “time by the brain
and puri>o«e of man.”
It was not without Us forerunners.
England had suffered the thirteen col
onies p> make laws, each for Itself, and
never for one of the others. The dele
gates iu Philadelphia had a* their
guides W nthrop and Cotton, Hooker
and Haynes, George Fox and William
Penn, Gustavus Adolphus and Oxen-
stlern, the merchants of tlie United
Netherlands, Shaftesbury and Locke.
Yet the Americans who framed our
Constitution followed blindly no ihco-
reetienl writer. They took the ele
ments which were at hand, and. with
full knowledge of their character, and
from them, shaped the fonu and sys
tem of government under which these
United States have risen to unexampled
prosperity and power.
There were compromises, of course.
And it should never lie forgotten that
only by an explicit recognition of
slavery could any agreement have
been reached. There were in the Con
vention earnest advocates of tlie pro
hibition of the slave trade. Maryland
was opposed to the Importation of
slaves. Rutledge, of South Caroliua,
took the position tliat re’igiou an hu-
manitv had nothing to do with the
question, and that the true question
was whether the Southern Spites
should or sliou’d not be parties to this
union. Oliver Ellsworth frankly said
that every State should Import what it
pleased; the morality or wisdom ol
slaver}* were considerations belonging
Ing to the States themselves. Roger
Sherman disapproved of tlie slave
trade, yet, as tlie States were then pos
sessed of tho right to Import slaves,
and as It was expedient to have as lew
objections as possible to the proposal
scheme of governinenr, he thought it
best to leave the matter as they
found it. George Mason, of Virginia,
boldly denounced the slave trade
as an Infernal traffic, and condemned
slavery as discouraging arts and man
ufactures, and producing the most per
nicious effect on manners. Charles
Cotes worth Pinckney told the dele
gates thar, if tlie Southern States were
let alone, they would probably stop
the importation of slaves, and that lie
himself would vote for It. But this i-
ennugli. Judge Story, who cannot be
*u*|iected of any undue leanings to
wards State rights, said. In one of_!iis
judicial opinions, tliat the covenant re
garding fugitives .from service, other
wise runaway slaves. “e«instituted a
fundamental article, without Hie adop
tion of “which the Union couhl not
have been formed.”
Thi-* is important, although slavery
is now and forever a thing «»f the past.
Tlie world knows that the compart
between tlie several Slates was not
faithfully observed by tlie Northern
States, and It was the conviction that
the North and West wonhl be bound
by the Constitution so long, as It suit
ed them to lie bound, tliat brought
about tlie condition of judgment and
feeling which maade se*res-lon possible
ind even necessary.
The Constitution of 1787 was then a
compromise, and It will lw noted tliat
it couhl not have obtained the ratldca-
tirin necessary lor Its establishment,
without the agreement to adopt
amendments which should protect the
States against dangers winch were ap
parent and could not be -explained
awav. No less than ten amendments
of the Constitution were adopted In
1791. Mr. Gladstone notwithstanding,
tlie Constitution was tar from complete
on September 17,1787-
The ten amendments of 1791 cover
the provision* concerning religion*
liberty and freedom of sjiecch and of
tlie press; the tight of the people to
assemble and to petition for the redress
of grievance*; tlie necessity fora well-
rvpitate.1 the prohibition of

that tbecnnuteratkm iu the Constitu

powers not delegated liy tlie people;
and that tlie powers not d**h»gat***i to
the United States l*y it to the States,
are reserved U> the .States respectively
or to the peofde.
Th«se provisions of enormous im
portance anil significance were, it mud
be remembered, additions to tlie
original ComdituUoo. and were the
conditions of its ratification. Whit
was hi doubt was clearly defined.
What was uncertain was made plain.
What was crooked was made straight.
No finger, however, was laid upon
slavery, or upon the right to dissolve
aud terminate the copartnership of
States, or to terminate it. Tlie ques
tions which rent the Union asunder
were left out of sight, like some devil
ish engine of destruction awaiting, be
low the placid waters, the lightest con
tact with the richly Ireiglih U chip ol
state.
Saving the amendment of 1798, in
relation Co tlie judicial power of the
Unitrd States, under whicti amend
ment tlie States are free from per-ecn-
tion in the United States Coin#, 'here
was no amendment of importance tiulU
tlie period sithieqi;eut to tlie civil war.
Then ronie tlie amendment prohibit
ing slavery; prohibiting tlie abridge
ment <»r tlie privilege.-* or immunities
of citizen* of the United States; dis-
frauchhlng certain particifiatiCs in the
civil war; affirming the lalkiity of the
public debt; prohibiting tbe payment
of any debt in aid of insurrection or
relieiiiou, or any claim for the loss or
emanci|iatiou of-laves; and also pro
viding that tlie right ot citizens of the
United States to vote riiall not be de
nied or abridged on account of race,
color or previous condition of servi
tude.
Tliese amendments embodied tlie re
sults **f tlie civil war. They could not
have been made a part of tlie Constitu
tion except by uiicoui titutioual means.
Tlie jMtsitiqti taken by the United
State* authorities—by tho-c who waged
w ar against tlie Confederate States—
was that a State could not withdraw
from the Union, and that toe seceding
States never ceased to Im- in the l! uimi

United States had no shadow of au
thority for imposing conditions upon
the e-cccding States as the price of their
aduiicsioti to repre-eotatiou iu Con
gress. if Utey were, and* always bad

anil to be vote;! for, and to be framed

This is one horn of the dilemma.

Dmsdex. August 11.—'There could
scarcely be ouy prettier farming coun
try than seen all the way from Vienna
to Berlin. It is one immense garden.
It beglu* long before you reach Vienna
and. (he entire stretch of country seems
to bu Vast fertile plain, brokeu only
here aud there with rolling ground
and dotted witli quaint German farm
houses and villages. At this season ol
the year the grain crop is being taken
iu and these field* present a lively
scene. Tliere are no fence* or
hedge* and ouly a narrow toad or
path or ditch set «itli
shade tree* indicates the edge
of farms. Along the railroad for
miles is a dirt fence—a simple em
bankment tapering up to a ridge and
sodded—which serves to protect flic
railroad from encroaching stork. The
bank look* like a military work, and
gi\e* the ntUnoad tlie appearance of
ruunitig along the bottom of a canal.
Here and tliere an attempt ha* been
made to grow a hedge along the ridge,
but the scheme wouldn’t work. It 1*
common Hcosier expression, that of
“imiuely as a mud feuce,” but the
mud fence is by no means homely.
In Normandy the mud fence Is liter
ally made of mud baked in tho sun a*
It Is laid up. It I* solid a* stone and
ns ugly as the pictorial Satan. A goo*I
deal of th!** country needs Irrigation,
hut judging from the crops it must be
very fertile. Of adl other people the
German fanners know how to get the
most out *»f *he -nil and best-how to
preserve limt coil from deterioration.
I h* German villages are the most un
inviting and their houses are quite as
homely as th** traditional nun! letict^
Tise house* are all of a si in pie-cigar-
l*»x pateru. with low walls of stu<-c*N*d
brick anti wide-pitched roofs. At first
the house l«*nk* as If it were nil roof, a
•*l«*s**r view developing low side wall*
without a blow*. Tlie gable windows
furtit-h the necessary light, an eyelet
in the roof helping along the garret.
I'hese eyes iii the roof have a very
queer effect and a wonderful fa-cina
tion for me. They are foimetl by a
bulge iu the roof as though somebody
had risen hastily 111 file night and made
i break there to peep out. Together
• ii the dark-red «r muss-grown roofs
they often have tlie appearauce ol
the eye* of » sleepy **ar, the pupils half

This feline expression is sometimes
•t* wonderfully life-iike that it fairly
start 1**- you when Hashed it|'«*:i you

the quaint old house* were on the
watch. If I were a German boy, I
should hesitate before climbing other
people’* cherry tr**e* with those alert
eyes upon me-^-hur I should probably
••limb after 1 gut through hesitating.
'I’hese houses may be -ecu all lookiug
»mt for themselves all tin* way from
Vienna to Berlin. There Is absolutely
no pretense at architecture in the vil
lage ami farm house. There is no ef
fort at adornment, no pretty garden*
•io flower lanls. and If a cree|»er hide*
the ugliness of » dwelling or gives It
picturesque eff*ct it Is accident. Prob
ably the some theory is entertained by
these German fanners as i.< held by
some editors who insist ou the plainest
ami homeliest surroundings where
they work, and tlielr reporters work
so as not to distract or enfeeble the
mind or demoralize the h aly. It an
Indiana farmer who nisites over
twenty-acre wheat field with u pa ent
reaper, raker or self-hinder could see
tlie iufiniie pains taken among these
fieople to prevent waste he would b*
astonished. Tlie old-fashioned cradle
Is mostly used to cut wheat, but very
often tlie women do tlie work with
•ickles. I u either ease tlie straw is cut
off very low. When tlie field Is cleared
of standing grain the women ami chil
dren pass over it with rakes or by hand
picking lip single straws, aifd when
tlie gleaner* are through tliere isn’t
enough left on the ground to board a
mouse a week. In tunny instances 1
noticed the plowman following pretty
closely upon the heels of Uie gleaner
preparing for the next crop, for the
season is short here, and wheat U sow
ed ami reu|M*d nlmut the saute time.
The plow invariably has two iron
wheels, one running hi tlie furrow and
t»ne on the land side. Tlie end of the
beam projects over tills axle in a cur
iously elevated way, aud wheu u
women rhle* tiie licam tlie outfit
has a singular lo*»k to a man who
farmed in America. Tlie ground Is
hard and dry now uml the -woman on
the lieuin is not an iiucominaii tiling.
She mount* it at the dry s'tots to keep
the plowshare in the ground. I have
ridden plow beams myself, and tlie
memory of the slmklug-up I got comes
tmek freshly .ipon me at tlie sight of
these women. When a nuni.ui gets
too old to ride a plow lieaiii here she
• lies. Alter the ,d»*w, there comes big,
strapping, hare-legged aud bare-footed
girls witli log-handled mallets break
ing the clods: they are followed by
tlie harrow, and when the grain has
been put in, that field is as fine as silk.
In some eases I saw manure heaps fol-
lou tbc disappearing grain,girl* spread
ing it with forks, and the plowmen
crowding closely on their heel*. Tliese
German farmers lieat the world.
I am inclined to speak of all the
country this side of the Alps as Ger
many—the tongue Is of a kindred char
acter. Bohemia. 1 should judge, is
more like the polish, though It fade*
into the Auotrian on the one liand aud
the German of Saxony oti die ntlier.
Tlie ancient signs In Frag look like a
split between tlie Polish and German
to a stranger, judging by theeye alone.
Ami here is .Saxony with its prowl
capital, its king aud its court and eg-
islature—a kingdom atuf yet not a
kingdom—a subject of the German
enqieror. Dresden is iu Germany
what Florence is In Italjr-
guislied for its advancement in
art culture. Its people pride
selves upon this reputation, aud speak
of their galleries ami schools a* the
only ones In the world worth - looking
at. As at Florence, so here, many
Americans make their home, especial
ly the class recognized as patrou* and
lovers of art. Celebrated master* here
have many American pupil*. Lam-
I'-erti, who i* recognized a« one of tlN*
prttty thing* in pottery. Th** blue
china service in my bed room here at
tlie. hotel Is as pretty and graceful a* it
could very we!! be. I should like to
mh the table down stair*. AH
through this region die influence of
Dresden extends in the table ware,
lamps,-bed-room sett and demraiiv
raeoeeo work. The glazed titb* stove,
even are decorated with freizc ami
crowded witli statuary. These tide
stores began tosprout in Rome. From
a very insiguifican begiuuing or a little
plain nnglazrd stock of titles in die
corner of your room they gradually
came up, a little bigger lu Florence,
a little more self important Mill in
Venice, until growing with the colder
climates they have reached die ma
ture ldght of twelve to fifteen feet,
and are correspondingly ornamental.
Every time I have waked np in the
morning it wot to figure mentally on
die size of the stove of the next stage
northward. Tills one In my room
here looks like the Washington monu
ment. They can’t very well grow any
larger unless the ceiling Is moved up.
Another peculiarity of the climate la
the boot-jack. People wear boot* up
here, and although it is a good while
since I wore boots my chambermaid
lays out my nigbt-shirt on the tnrued-
down cover ot the bed (front side
down with care) and places the lioot-
j-tek In front of the chair by the side of
the bed—where 1 invariably stub my
toes on it or fall over it when 1 get up
in the dark. It is the same boot-jack
my father wore and the anti-cat va
riety diat is in the Northern American
city at once a thing of comfort, de
fense and offense, bat which you never
see in an American hotel. It is a deli
cate hint of domesticity and diat the
gnest will abstain trom going to bed
with hto boots on.

more of the Parisian about the German

cities of Austria and Germany
wear plain, substantial clothing on
tiie streets, which, for the most |«rt,
'ooks a* if it had beeu made for some
body else. The men are of (he same
pattern. There seems to lie uo distinc

could be taken for a dude would be
hard to find here, measured by Un-
American standard. I was thinking
about this last night a* I sat In a fash

and listened to the exquisite music aud
noted alternately die brilliantly lighten
bridges without and the assembly

neither pretty nor W’elldressed. They
were respectable, with possibly hall
a dozen approaching attractiveness

1 could not but congest their dL-cri-

way surprised me. Five thousand
Italians will listen to Uie finest com

There were scholar* in this audience

who played did so with a spirit ami
feeling such as I have heard in no

Work the Farm.
Ou a well-managed farm, says the
American Agriculturist, there should
never be a time wheat it may bo said
there is nothing to be done. A ship
captain, who is a good disciplinarian,
when all other work fails, on a long
voyage, lias the anchors polished.
What the anchor is In this respect to
the ship’s commander the hoe I* to the
prosperous farmer. To keep tliat im
plement bright by catting dow n
weeds differs from polishing tin*
anchor a* It Is useful work. A friend
about to address a farmers club, a
short time ago, asked us vital he
should talk about. “Weeds,” was th.-
reply. “If you do not know' enough
about the injury weed* do the farmer,
talk about their beneficial effects.”
•’Beneficial?” “Tell tliat to Uie boy
who, on a liot August day, I* at w«»rk
in a cornfield.” Ju*t the place of all
other* where the weed*, or rather tin
killing of them, should be recognized
as useful.” “How so?” We cut down
weed* primarily that they may n«»t rob
the crop of a share of it* food, but on**
w ho properly uses tlie l*oe cut* ovr»
the entire surface. Tlii* light, fin**
soil, is of Uie greatest benefit as a
mulch; In preventing evaporation ot

this layer of light soil quickly cool* ai

ed that we had not seen a child of this

They live in alley* about U»e old

This feeling comes over one again and
again: lathi* the best that Scotland
can do, with all its churches, its faith
iu Calvin and Knox, its pride of taroi-
Iv and its history ? The cry of tne
children follows us here to our rooms,
and makes ns say with Burns:

Our first walk was to the Auld Brig.
It stands a* sold os when it was first
built, near it Is the New Brig, not Uie
one that is in Burns’s poem, but tiie
thinl since then. In it* *corn of new
thing*, the Auld Brig says:
“Conceited gowk, puffed np wi* windr pride
ThU lioor a year I've stood the flood and Ode;
And Omagh H* eras? eUd 1 m aair t-rfaira.
I'll be* brig whea ye’re a ehapeleseealrat”
As we walked up the street, we saw
Uie name, “Tam O’Slmntcr’s Inn.”
A picture of Tam, just mounting bis
“auld mare Meg,” stood as a sign.
An old man told us that the inn liad
been built for over 200 years, and wa*
the veritable Inn where Tam drank
with “Souter Johnny.” I talked with
Uie old man. who was full of quotation
ami Scotch whisky. I asked him if lie
did not think that Bum* drank too
much whisky, hut lie thought not. We
went Into the inu. Upstairs is Uie
very room, wiUi low celling, dark and
brown. Fac-slmllesof tile old chairs
am) cups are there, and illustrative
pictures. On the opposite side
of the street, a rival Inn ol later date
insist on having Uie very cups
and chairs. Pictures of Bnrncs abound:
the shop* are full of souvenirs. And
vet with Ayr itself Bum* had little to
do; hi* birth place ami monument are
about two mile* away. Really, Ayr
Is barren of incident or association, so
far a* Burns is concerned, and om
chief memories of it will be in connec
tion with its sorrowful women anil
. hildren. Begging Is strictly forbidden
in Scotland, hilt evasions are many.
Street music t* one of these; singing,
sometimes good, with pathos mingled
with song* of joy and love, which seeiu
«n foreign to those who sing them. To
night we heard our first ballads—
penny ballads, sold by virtue ol the
singing; old men playing the pipes;
match sellers; any tiling to keep life.
A shop keeper complained of iluil
times, and said that many were going
to America. 111*, as it ever b»3 been,
the Eldorado. God bless It!
A thatclied cottage by Uie wmyslile,
of two rooms. I the first, or kitchen,
i« the recessed bed, two chairs and Uie
Iresser. In the other, or best room, a
spinning wheel lielonging to his moth
er. But littie of the poet’* life was
spent here, as when he was seven year#
old his father removed to Loch lea.
The Doon is near by. A hall is attach
ed to the house In which are casts of a
bust of Bums anil of a statue; a chair;
tiie table on which lie wrote his last
poem. On Uie wall were plctnrea 11-
ustratlng the poeuts; original of the
poem on “Craigi-Bnm.” The hall is
used in Bums meetings. So this was
the birthplace of Burris! “Tliere was
a lad wo* boro in Kyle.” Wliat ele
ment* were suhtiy mixed together tiiat
he should grow so great? I looked
into the faces of the cotters and farm
ers. Any one of them might be
tiiought as likely to produce a gifted
son os were hi* parents. So with

Tiie monument Is near the cottage.
A tctnple-like building similar to the
one in Eldenburgh—seven columns
supporting a dome. WithIu were relics
and pictures; the Bible that Burns
gave Highland Mary at parting; a lock
of her hair; first and second editions
or hi* poems; originals of a poem, ami
a letter or two. Burns was a good
writer, that is, his handwriting was
strong and plain. The Ink Is yet black
on some ot his letters. In a grotto near

foot of Uie bill and U*e “Brig *o Djou”
still stands as it did wtien Tam O’Shan-

“banks” and in sight of the “braes of
bonnie Doon” we ate a lunch of straw
berries and cake. I dipped up water
in my hat to drink. It is sweet-brown
in eolor and makes a bonnie stream,
indeed.
We then went to “Alloway’s auld

at the Whiteford Inn. There Is a
good fanner here now though; for
three seasons they have imported an
American to teach them to make
cheese. I drank a gla«* of Ayrshire
milk, aud tlien we went to the field of
Uie “Daisv” ami picked “the wee,
modest, crimson-tipped flower,” ami
then, into the Held of Uie “Monse.”
We also went into Uie “Poosie Nnn-

These letters arc Uie most affecting or

the letters reveal the heart ot
“Poor, poor, dumb moths.”
From Kilmarnock to Mossgiel Is but

Macon Telegraph Special.
Atlanta, September 18.—The love
of father lor child and the depth of
anxiety which may be around 1 on oc
casions bad a forcible illustration to
day and In a manner not often chron
icled .
Mr. Forbes Lydeli, a well-known
merchant of Montgomery, received a
dis| atch In Uiat city about 1 o’clock
this afternoon that a child of his. now
in Cbarlott, wa* lying critically ill and
not expected to live.
The train for AUanta had passed
hours before, and the departure ot Uie
Air Line train from this city for Char
lotte to at C p. in., only train until ta
in all probability,
would carry him to the bedside of hto
child too late.
Hto anxiety was so great that he ile-
nniiMxl to go at ooce, if possible', at
any coat, and he succeeded In arrang
ing with the railroad authorities for a
special train, which would put him in
Atlanta In time to make thecmmectlon
witli the Air Liue. .For thf* valuable
ami timely accomodation lie paid one
dollar per mile for Uie distance cover
ed. 17fl miles.
The engine, with a coach attached,
containing Mr. Lydeil ami Train Vis-
paiclter McKenzie in charge, pulled
out of Montgomery at 1:15 p. m. En
gineer John Me Waters had Uie throt
tle, whL'h was a guaranty that the
trip would be nta*'e In safety and In
good tiuie. Over considerable portion*
of the distance Uie run was maile at a
rate exceeding a mile a minute, and
atu^OUieltain ran into Uie Union
depot here with forty minute* to
••pare. Mr. Lydeil left f*r Charlotte
ou the Air-Line at 7 o’clock.

were too jolly now. She said there
are no poor rate* In Mauriillne, and
good school*, and little drunkenness.
