Scott had done more for Edinburgh
than all her great men put together.
Burns had hardly left trace of himself
in the Northern capital. During his
residence there his spirit soured, and
he was taught 10 drink whisky punch
obligations which he repaid by address,
ing "Edins, Scotia's darling seat" in a
copy OF his tamest verses. Scott dis
covered that the city was beantiful-he
sang its praises over the world-and he
put more coin into the pockets of its
Inhabitants than II he had established
a branch OF manufacture of which they
had a monopoly. Scott's novels were
to Edinburgh what the tobacco trade
was TO Glasgow about the close of the
last century, Although several labor
ers were before him in the field of the
Border Ballads, he made fashionable
those wonderful stories Of humor and
AS soon 'The Lay of the Last Min
strel" appeared, everybody was raving
about Melrose and Moonlight. He
wrote 1.-THE Lady of the Lake." and
the next year a thousand tourists de-
acended ont Trossachs, watching the
sun setting on Loch Katrine, and began
to take lessons on the bagpipe. Helm
proved the Highlands as much as Gem
eral Wade did when he strucS through
them his military roads. Where his
muse was one year a mail-coach and ho-
tel were the next. His poems are gra-
ted down into guide. books. Never was
an author so popular ras Scott, and
never was popularity worn so lightly
and gracefully: In his own heart he
did not value it highly, and he cared
more for his plantations in Abbottsford
than for his poems and novels. He
would rather have been praised by
Tom Purdle than by any critic. He
was great, simple, sincere, warm
hearted man. he never turned aside
from his fellows in gloomy scorn; his
lip never curled with disdain. He
never ground his teeth save when in the
agonies of toothache. .5l"
He liked society, his friends, his
dogs, his domestics, his trees, his his
tofical nicknacks. at Abbottsford he
would write chapter OF novel before
his guests were out of bed, spend the
day with them, and then, at dinner, his
score of shrewd Scottish anecdotes
frightened the table more. than did the
champagne. When in Edinburgh, any
one might see himin the streets or in
the Par lament House. He was loved
by every body. mo one so popular
among the souters OF SelkiEk as the
lSlIiTrd. George the w., on his visit TO
the Northern Kingdom, declared that
Scott was the man he most wished to
see. He was the deepest, simplest man
OF his time. He sinks Ike Ben
Bruachan. shoulder after shoulder,
slowly, till its base is twenty miles in
gIrth. Scotland is Scott-land. He has
proclaimed over all the world Scottish
virtue; and he has put money into the
pockets of Scottish hotel-keepers,
Scottish taflors, Scottish boatmen, and
the drivers of the Highland mails.

The exhibit made in the last report of
the Director of the Bureau OF Statistics,
of our foreign trade for the months of
January, February, March and April
of the current year, Is certainly very
encouraging in its apparent results.
The exhibit mentions an export of.coin
and bullion amounting to $l1 ,472, 400;
of foreign goods, s., ,104, ,420, and of pro-
duce and merchandise, $172, ,397, $40 in
currency, or $l26, ,762, ,772 reduced to gold
at 1856, bringing the total exports of
SI46, ,939 COL. Meantime the free imports

And when the exports entered in cur

This is more favorable balance of
trade than has been generally supposed.
A great deal has been said OF the export
of coin and bullion, as showing that we
were buying beyond our means. But

still remain 1855, ,376 in excess Of onr

ATRIp TO CINCINNATI AND LOUISVILLE.
ing I'elegrdph:-

To the Editor efthe Evening Tele0rdph:-
We had occasion recently in a trip to Gin
cinnati and Louisville, to remark the great
change which lapse OF but fifteen years has
produced in the architectural character and
local Improvement OF these cities.
Upon reaching PIttsburg, that hive Of indus
try and enterprise, and of which, as Pennsylva-
mans, we have so much cause to be proud, but
hardly 10 be seen for the smoke, we took the
''Pan Handle" route that is, the PIttsburg,
Columbus, and Cincinnati Railroad, to Colum-
bus and the Little Miama and Xenia Railroad
from the latter place to Cincinnati. The for
Kner road is under the Presidency of Mr.. L. j.
Jewett, and the latter under that of Mr.. e. W.
Woodward as President and Mr.. J. Durand as
General Superintendent. We found the route
an exceedingly pleasant one as to smoothness
and swiftness of transit, aud all the arrange
ments indicating a careful looking-afte by
those at the head of affairs.
On reaching Cincinnati, we stopped at our old
auarters, the Burnett House, (" which is in the
very centre OF business, and we remarked the
favorable change few years had produced. The
variety and good taste of the store architecture
it seemed to me exceeded that of Philadelphia
although we may be better able to boast of in
dividual fine buildings One of the finest struc-
lures which happened TO meet my eye was the
Masonic Temple, built of beautiful stone, the
lower part Of which is used for stores. Pixies
Opera House, which stands upon the site OF that
which was burnt, surpasses the former edifce.
A portion of the second story is used tor the
opera, and the rest is arranged for stores and
offices, somewhat after the plan of the "Forrest
Building of our own town"

cannot but remark, the absence OF the white
marble steps and white doors and shutters OF
his native city, while citizen of those places
must be as much struck with their presence
when he comes TO Philadelphia. The olearness
Of our atmosphere and its freedom from the
coal smoke which 80 infests PittsburR, and In O
less degree the air of Cincinnati and louisville,
make the contrast OF which we speak still
more noticeable, and give TO Philadeiphia that
appearance OF neatness which Is so character
