A BoRDERER's ExPLoIT.-A character
istic story is told of the Borderers' ex-
pioits, and the dangers which Judges en-.
countered. The Earl of Traquair, when
engaged IN lawsuit, dreaded the Lord
President Durie's opposition The Earls
servant, Will Armstrong, as the Judge was
riding in the suburbs ore afternoon, threw
troopers cloak over him, and did not
slacken his steed till Dnrie was safely
lodged in the tower OF the Graemes in An
Mandate. VIII boosted he stole AN auld
lurdane aft the bench" 1t was bold
trick, bit of Border fair play in a lawsuit,
and the Border side rang with laughter
against the kidnapped Judge. In good
time Will set down the Judge at the coun-
Gil doors in Edinburgh:
And there full loudly shouted he,
" Gle me my guerdon, my soYeres n liege,
An take ye back your aud Durit :"

The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1882-07-20

The successful bombardment of the
forts of Alexandria by a fleet of only
eight ships furnishes a lesson and a
subject of study for our engineers and
military men. There are but few
cases on record in which q fleet has
failed in carrying the Notifications as
saulted, and it may be set down now
as certainty that no seaboard city
can place any reliance whatever upon
its land Notifications. 1t is needless
to give the overwhelming evidences
of occurrences of remote dates, the en-
gagements during the past twenty
years furnish sufficient proof of the
assertion. In our late civil war the
Union fleet was nearly always success
full in either demolishing or passing
forts of all descriptions. The passages
of Forts Jackson and st. Philip, Vicks-
burg batteries, Port Hudson, Fort
Morgan and Fort Fisher are instances
which might be repeated by an en-
envy better provided with guns than
we were at that time. A land bat
terry appears unable to cope with or
to prevent number of ships from
passing it, and as Alexandria has fallen
so may New York, Boston and San
Francisco fall, unless proper coast de-
lenses, such as monitors, are provided
for
