The New York Scottish American Jour-
mol Of this week has the following notice
Of the late Robert Scott, Of this city:
"The brethren Of the curling fraternity
in New York, and the Eastern States gene
rally, have, during the past week, sustain
ed painful loss by the death of Mr.. Rob
ert Scott, of Wilmington, Del, at the
comparatively early age Of forty-eight
years. Mr.. Scott was born at the pleasant
old village of Leuchars, in Fifeshire, in
1927, and served his apprenticeship as
s:one-cutter, in which business he remain
ed during his lifetime. He arrived at New
York in 1852, where he settled for several
years. In 1852 he removed to Philadel-
phia, and four years later to Wilmington,
Which became his final home. In 1866 he
began business for himself and by his
dustry and shrewdEess soon acquired
large connection, and established lucra-
tive and steady trade. His operations
were not simply confined to Wilmington,
for shortly before his death he had COM
pleted the erection CT large church in
in Washington, D. c. In curling circles
he was much respected, ss we'll he might,
for one prouder Of the game, or one more
jealous for its advancement, did not exist
on this continent. He is stated to have
been the first to make curling-stones in the
United States, all playing having pre-
viously been done with imported stones,
iron pots, Or wooden blocks. As mem
ber of the New York Caledonian Club he
took deep interest in all its doings; was
proud of it and its achievements; and
never lost any opportunity Of playing a
steady shot to help it. Even when sepa-
rated by distance he did not lose his inte-
rest in its welfare, but remained to the last
one of its members. While in Philadel-
ps;a he strove hard to organize club
there, and though he did not succeed it
was from no lack of energy on his part
His funeral, which took place or Satur-
day, and which was conducted with Ma
onic honors, was largely attended. Among
others, Mr. Winterbottom, delegate from
the Caledonian Club, was present, bearing
With him beautiful wreath of flowers-a
token from the club that its members
nourned their old associate, whose chosen
MOTTO had always been we're brithers a."

the auspices of the American Rifles is still

THE "MERCHNNT OF VENICE"
This interesting play-for the incidents
are almost of too serious natnre to entitle
it Justly to the name of comedy, though for
the sake of method it is usually so classified,
was written when the poet was in the very
meredian of his existence enshrined in the
glory of his genius. The trial scene is a
masterpiece of dramatic construction. A
play in itself, with every character perfectly
developed
Shylock defends his own case, and urges
his claim with consummate skill he stands
like a rock. His answers are admirable,
when Portia opportunely arrives. At her
appearance-taking her for a youth, and
therefore an inexperienced lawyer-he re-
CARDS with smile of triumph-he is more
certain of revenge. Already, in imagina-
tion, does he see the once naughty, scoffing
merchant, quivering and fainting beneath
his weapon. Portia then appeals to his
sense of humanity, but his heart is closed !;
he is offered thrice his money, but avarice
is overpowered and swallowed up by gigan-
tic desire for revenge. Portia makes one
final attempt to arouse his feelings but he
adheres to the strict letter of the law. He
demands judgment, and, fourishing his
knife, exclaims to his intended victim in a
voice of vindictive malice, "Come, pre-
pare" The scale is now turned; he is
told to cut off the pound of flesh but, adds
Portia:
"This bond doth give thee here no jot of
blood" &c.
Shylock is defeated, ruined and triumph
ed over his wealth is confscated, and his
life is parGoned, and finally with bitter,
heart sighs, he totters from the court
childless, ruined, and beggared man. This
play will be performed in the Opera House
on Friday evening, December Sd, M. z. L.
Davenport in the principal part, supported
by powerful star dramatic company.
