THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

The illumination, at Kelso on Wednesday even-
ing were exceedingly fine. The bridge, nearly ev( Ty public
building, and almost all the private dwellings were
splendidly lit up. Rockets shot high into the air from
all quarters, but the grandest features of the illumina-
tions were the bonfires, by which nearly every hill top
was crowned. There were no fewer than thirteen on the
Duke of Roxburghe's estate. The principal was on the
eastern summit of the famous Eildons. Minto Craigs, on
the estate of the Earl of Minto, were also surmounted by
a large bonfire. Hume Castle was likewise lighted up.
In fact, every mountain and hill in this district was
illuminated, embracing all the peaks.

these rivets appear to be more like ink than water.
