STIRLING. Dur European Corresoondent met a Mule and A NEGRO IN SCOTLAND. And was’Cured ofihe “Blues” .ana Then Enjoyed “Stir ling” “Stirling Castle and a|View From Wai lace Monument. 'Some yearn ago I was in buni* ' aees in a western city and had a large sign on the side of the build ing. "The G*orgia Store’’ on) daj 1 was standing in the do«,r when an old lady stopped and said to -me.: “Are you from Georgia? and - di4 you ever know a man by the r name of Charley Samuels, who v lived at one time in Rome, Ga.?’ If told her I was from Rome and •knew Mr. Samuels very well, she , quickly caught one of my hand •in both of hers and after marly f -shaking it off she said : “How bap ipy I«m to see even a dog from .The old lady had left home • about a month previous and had been taken sick on the road a d I the first person she had seen rftr-om her native state. I c uld now sympathize with her «-we had been away from horrid about four months, had not o anything that was a uiliar tou?; the people and also their cus.om i are so different. . I told my wife [was getting sick for a familiar sight, if I could only see a negro or even a mule. • Etrage to say we had not walkeo s more than a block until we saw t mule, just a plain old every day mule, but my, my, how I did waik around him and pat him, but be ingcireful to keep away from his business end, as mules in Scotland jhave the same habit that have in Georgia. iLeaving my new made friend wf <- started up the narrow street foi ’ the castle and strange to say not ». more than a block away and com ting toward us was a full blooded African negro. I saw by his gener al appearance that he must b from America an i he surmised the same about me. We walked towards each other as if drawn by a magnet, meeting in the middle of the street he said : ‘Law bless y.»u Boss you is from i,. America aint you, I am so glad to . «co you and if I ever gets back to my oldjhome in the South I will . stay ‘/here.” He £ad been taken over then by ope of those fellows who sell cheap jewelry on the street.

In 843 Macalpine made the castle his headquarters. It will require a large volume to tell eren part of the history of this old place. It stands on an elevation , »f about 340 feet above the town, tand is nbw used as a training! school for the army’ we had the' pleasure of seeing a company of! .Highlanders drilling, they looked, ’.verypicturesque, in the Highland suits. .In the square at the entrance of the castle is the Bruce Statue. From this point can hb seen the .battlefield of •Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn. The figure is 10 or 12 feet high attired in chain arm or. He is looking toward Bannock burn. On the center of the pedes-, tai is the Scottish Shield with Lion Rampant, and in one side King “Robert the Bruce.’’ June 24th. 1314. Leaving th 1 cadle we entered he cemetery nearby and we were struck with the strange inscrip tions on many of the stones and the peculiar manner they were written. One as follows we copied, notice that each word starts with a capital and a period after each word. Aho. k . Miffen. chief, constable. Stirlingshire. Own. Life. Is. But. A. Winter, Day. Some. Only.

The coronation of James VI took place within its walls on July 29th. 1567, on which occasion a sermon was preached by Joh n Knox. Nerely is the Cowane Hospital over the entrance of it is a statue or cowane —the following inscrip tion. 16 John Cowane. 39 I was Hungrle and ye gave ine hieatfi 1 was Thirstie and ye gave medrinke I wa a stranger and ye took me in Naked and ye clothed me I was sicke and ye visited me, Matt. xxv. 35” Leaving the Hospital we soon arrived at what is known as Mar’s Work. This fine old residence now in ruin was erected about 1570 by the Egrl of Mar. with stones tak en from Cambuskenneth Abbey. There is an old story that Jno. Knox, said no good would come of the Earl’s sacrilege. Time has proven the truth of his prediction. As we were going down the hill we passed an old residence that iu its time m ust 1 ave tern of Mtt importance on the wall was the date 1671. “Wisdom is the tree of life.” A good conscience is a brazen wall, on many of the old houses are just such inscriptions and dates. We continue our walk through? the town to the “Old Stirling Bridge it is built of stone in four massive arches it is not known when it was erected, but it has a history f or over 300 years. Here taking the cars we were soon at Abbev Craig, after a pleas ant walk of about a half hour we arrived at the top of the hill, at the Wallace Monument. This Tower was built iu 1861 and is 220 feet high, the position occupied by Wallace and his army before the Battle of Stirling Bridge. \Ve ascended to s he top of the Tower by a spiral staircase in on<> corner and it is a very tiresome climb but when you reach the top you soon forget the climb, we could see the crooked Forth, as far as the eye could reach, with its beautiful and high cultivated valleys with the high peaks of Ben Lomond, and Ben Ledi, in the distance down below us the Tower with the astle on the top ©f the hill form ing a picture for beauty and grandure seldom seen. The Tower contains several rooms in one ancient armour. Here iu a glass case is the Sword of Wallace. The blade is double edged is four feet four in. long. The hilt is a foot long mounted with leather. Another room is called the Hail of Heroes, and contains busts of eminent Scotchmen. Leaving the monument we went to Canebuskenneth Abbey. The Tower is the oniy part remaining i and is about seventy or seventy five feet high, it has lately been repaired, and does not look £O old even if.it waß bui't in 1147. Going back to the city we were just in time to catch the evening train fur Gla°gpw. A. Roman. THE HUSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY SEPTEMBER,9 1894. THE BIG SHOW.
