TROUBLES IN SCOTLAND.
LONDON, Sd October, 1919.


The spiritual authorities OF the Resi6uary
Church of Scotland have called in the aid OF the
civil authorities-poiice and mitary-to enable
them TO take possession OF the church edifces
The people have, in some instances, resisted this
encroachmentu pon what they conceive to be their
rights The only serious resistance Of which we
are informed occurred in Rosshire, in the deforce-
ment OF the Presbytery of Chanonry at Rosa!is,
and the minister or Logic, detailed in the last
Ross-shre Advertiser. AT Rosalis, early in the
day, and before the arrival of the lord-ieuenant
and sheriff, 4 crowd of men and women, well
supplied with stones and sticks, surrounded the
church, and, although fred upon by the military,
(wl:hout any being seriously injured, however,)
they kept their ground, and drove Off the civil
forces. One Of the women was arrested, and
carried to prison. She was a tall, athletic wo-
man, and made powerful resistance. At Logic,
similar scenes were enacted. On Tuesday week,
four officers arrived at lnvergorden, and arrested
two OF the parishioners; the people came TO the
rescue, and quietly advised the officers 10 leave
their prisoners and be of quick as possible.
The officers took the hint, and made off, leaving
theH prisoners. When the ministers of the Free
Church heard OF the riots. they repaired TO the
disturbed districts, and eXhorted the people TO
yield to the civil authorities the result was that
the Resduary Ministers were duly installed in
the churches, the tenantry withdrawing, OF course,
and leaving the Dominies to preach to empty
pews. The people have asked for ground upon
which TO build free churches, but we are not in
formed whether ii pleased % the airds % the ma
nor" in the county of Ross, to grant their re-
quest. 1t is worthy Of remark, that the Ross
shire men OF the real Highland stock, Jealous
OF their rights, and ever ready to maintain them
even at the sacrifice Of life.

AN AFFECTING INVOCATION.

If, since the time of Holy Willie and his pray
er, any gentleman has been hard run, we imagine
it must be the editor of the Richmond Enquirer,
who, in his extreme anxiety Tor the truth, makes
the following affecting appeal:
"We ask Of the New York Herald the best es-
innate ii can obtain of the receipts of the Istom
houses, as well as Of the general condition and
resources OF the Treasury. We ask it III no idle
spirit Of curiosity, but from sincere desire to as
certain the truth, and to lay it before the public
Hear, all ye charitable! A little truth for the
Enquirer! Date oboilm BtHsario! The old Ro-
man bcgs for penny's worth Of truth Once he
was rich: truth was his commodty-a sure proof
oil which is, that he boosted OF it in his daily
motto; but he has spent it so freely that now he
is obliged to beg little of it from the New York

THE COPPER ROCK.

The Hon. Mr.. Colcraft. writing to the Com
mercial, under date of 18th inst, notices the arr-
val of the Copper Rock at Detroit, from Lake Su-
says: :" Its greatest length is four feet six inches /;
lis greatest width about four feet its maximum
thickness eighteen inches. These are rough mea-
surements with the rule. 1t is almost entirely
composed of maleable copper, and bears striking
marks of the visits formerly paid TO it, in the evil
denccs of portions which have from time TO time
been cut oil. There are scales in the city large
enough, or other means OF ascertainiDg its precise
weight, and Of thus terminating the uncertainty
arising from the several estimates heretofore
made. 1t has been generally estimated here
sluce It's arrival, to weigh between six and seven
thousand pounds, or about three and a half TONS
and is by far, the largest known and described
specimen OF native copper on the globe. Runors
OF large ple3e in South America are 'apocryphal.
1t is clearly boulder, and bears marks of attri-
ton from the action of water, on some parts of
ITS rocky surface, as well as the metallic portions.

Our Democratic contemporaries arc greatly and
unaffectedy distressed at the organization and
proceedings Of the Clay Clubs. The idea of the
Wings of each county enrolling themselves is pc
culiarly annoying. The disinerested Patriot OF
the Enquirer groans audibIy for the lost rights OF
citizens signed away forever; and appeals in a
most pathetic strain 10 the Democracy to be har-
monious. The great Globe takes up the subject
and thunders from the Capitol against all the
coons in tho Confederacy and concludes by ex
horting the Democracy 10 initiate the example Of
the coons
a course which is so dispIeasing to their adversa-
ries. Let them organize and enrol themselves in
every neighborbood and precinct, and report TO
the Central County Club.--R ichm0nd Wig.

WIG FESTIVAL IN AMHERST

it on the lth letter from friend, says:
Il have just time to say a word We had
fine time Of it yesterday. The Wing spirit is
up. There were present about 1900 PERSONS
They were addressed by Mr.. Goggin, and Mr..
Toer, and Col. Bondurant. At night, the CLAY
Club met, and was addressed by Jos. X. Irving,
and MIR. Goggin. Great enthusiasm prevailing,
and Wings and Democrats. highly delighted with
the meeting. "-Rchmond Wig.
The Lynchburg yirginian says that Amherst
is thus entitled to the credit, not only Of having
established the first Clay Club, but of having
given the first Wing Festival, in the opening
campaign. She has put the ball in molion--and
her gallant Wing sons will keep it moving.

The National intclligencer Of yesterday has the
following description of simple invention by DR..
McWilllams, of that city, for gathering fruit:
The 'Frult Gatherer'' is an instrument design
ed and well adapted for plucking fruit from the
tree where 1t cannot be reached by the hand. The
fruit Is gathered from all the branches without the
slightest injury to either the tree or fruit, and in
the most delicate manner. 1t plucks of all sizes
OF fruit, from cherry to the largest apple 1t is
easy Of construction or repair, and the expense
trfng. lady or gentleman in their garden or
orchard, standing on the ground, may select such
fruit as is wished and obtain it without disturbing
that adjacent. This instrument accompshes
perfectly what has frequently been attempted
both IN Europe and this country in vain.

The manner of recruiting for This regiment, The
third West Indian, as it is called, is sometimes
very summary. In July, 1912. there arrived in
the harbor of Sierra Leone a vessel with 1874 re-
captives. They had been obtained, not from
slave ships, but from slave factories the land.
They were much pleased, and exhibited enthu-
siastc JOY when the ship came to anchor. They
deemed their deiverance at hand. | visited them

A SUPERB WORK OF ARIA PORTRAIT OF
MR.. CLAY

The Philadelphia Inquirer says that splendid
full-lcngti portrait OF Mr.. Clay has just been
Published in that city, and is exciting much adj
lniration. The engraving is by John Sarlan
from the original picture painted by John Neage,
at Ashland. 1t is mastery affair throughout,
and abounds with beauties. Both artists have
been signaly successful. We can conceive of
nothing more appropriate for parlour ornament
or public institution. Had Neagle and Sartain
never produced any thing else, This work would
have placed them in the front rank of their res
pective professions. The Ggure Of Mr.. Clay, the
expression OF the face, the drapery, the American
flag. the globe, tho anvil, the plough, the sheep,
and the ship in the distance, are all not only very
fine, but they disposed with exquisite skill
and proprety--and serve 10 form one Of the most
captivating and attractive pictures that we ever
remember to have seen. Thousands Of copies Of
this truly splendid work will 10 doubt be specdi-
Jy disposed Of.

The Boston Post says all the cotton factory
stocks, and especially the Lowell, have advanced
greatly in price within few months, and are still
rising. The causes of this sudden advance-a-
mounting 10 fifty per cent, it remarks-are to be
found in the opening Of the China market, which
swept off surplus stocks, the low rate of wages
paid the operatives, and withaI, an unusually low
price of raw material.

Mr.. Senator Langhorne, Of the Norfolk Sena-

Senate. lie writes very frank letter to his con-
stliuents telling them that it is too great sacri-
flee for him longer to continue in their service
that the cares and responsibilities of an increas-
ing family demand the whole of his time at home
that his law business is neglected and his farm
neglected willie he attends to State affairs in
Richmond; his farm he is compelled to leave to
the management Of his negroes, who are not ex-
acty as provident and Industrious when he is
away as they might be. These are very good
reasons, and if duly considered by numbers of
others who come here to spend the winter in the
capitol, would induce them to follow Mr.. Lang
hoTne's example. This serving of the State is a
poor trade.-R,chmond Compiler.
