Christ. Mr. Skene, in full agreement with
Irish antiquarians, fixes the date of bis pass
ing over from Ulster TO Argyleshire by that
Of the battle of 0cha, which was fought in the
year 4s7, and which is regarded as the COM
nencement Of the real chronological history of
Ireland. But We know nothing of the stone
except that it was found at Scone We have
references to it as early as the tenth or ele-
venth century, but not word even then of
it's mythical history. This only begins to
spring up three centuries latter, when the
stone was captured and taken to England.
How it got TO Scone nobody can tell, but
there are some speculations which may be
considered legitimate. We know on every
good authority, for example. that ST. COLUMBIA,
cell at Iona had a stone for his pillow after the
manner Of Jacob. We are also told that in
his last illness he had visions Of angels such
as Jacob is said to have beheld. 1t is further
narrated that for the saints sake the stone
was held in great reverence, and was pre-
served among his relics. 1t is also stated as
credible fact that Kenneth M'Alpipe; the
Dalriadic Scot. who in the ninth century sue
ceeded to the Pictish throne, and became the
first King of Scotland, brought away some of
the relics OF ST. Columbia from Iona, and de-
posted them either at Dunkeld or Scone. Was
the stone amongst them9 A geological exa-
mination of the stone itself, which was made
in 1865, shows that it is block Of limestone,
bearing marks of the chisel. 1t appears, says
Professor Ramsay, as if it had been prepared
for building purposes and had never been
used. 1t is said to resemble the stone which
forms the doorway of DunstaffnagO Castle, but
there is plenty of stone like it in the neigh
bourhood of Scone. The biologists also say
that no such formation as that fro which it
was taken is to be found in Egypt or in
Palestine. So much for this wonderful stone.

mo soottish Stone of Destiny.
No. Ia Glosqon Herold. }

In ancient times, before Edinburgh became
the capital of Scotland, the Scottish Kings
were crowned at Scone Abbey. At the coro-
nation ceremony they were placed in stone
chair, in the seat of which this separate stone
was in some way fixed, a cavity being per-
haps left for the purpose. When Edward l.
invaded Scotlasd in 1896, he took possession
of this stone and carried it back with him to
England. He probably knew the mystical
associations attaching to it, and as be meant
TO be and to remain Lord Paramount OF Scot
land, he resolved to turn them to his own
advantage. Accordingly he ordered chair
to be made for the purpose OF receiving the
stone. His first intention was that the chair
should he made Of bronze, but for some reason
or other it came to be made OF wood, and the
chair SO made we can see with our own eyes
to-day. All the Kings and Queens of England
from that time till now have been crowned in
it, and we know not how far the monarchy
may be indebted for its stability to the virtues
Of the stone which lies beneath the seat. II
was believed to carry with it the fortunes OF
Scotland. It was called the Stone of Destiny.
There was an old Latin couplet which ran TO
this effect

Two very important suits in equity.
involving property to the amount of
several millions Of dollars, situated in
Minneapolis, Mimi, have recently been
commenced. They are brought by Col.
Wm. s. King and wife. against Phiio
Remington, Louis F. Aenage and wives.
and Robert s. Innes, and grew out of
monev transactions between Col. King
and Mr.. Remington. From a lengthy
statement of the case, and the con-
plaint in one Of the suits, Published in
the st. Paul P,ess,it appears that many
years ago Col. King bad been Of service
70 the firm of Remington d Son, and in
time of financial stringency mad reu-
dered them financial aid. Afterwards
be became heavy borrower from them.
f1nally, IN 1875, becoming indebted TO
the amount of 100000. To secure this
amount he decided certain property now
included In the city limits of Minneap-
oils. Since that time. portions of this
property have been sold, a3greeating
ever 100000. The suits are brought
TO compel "a accounting and restitution
OF the property still unsold. The prop
erty purchased by Messrs. Remington,
King and Oseood, in this city,
and nov owned by Col. w. 6. Squire,
figures incidentally in these proceed
inRs. Mention is made in tse CON-
plaint of the purchase of this property
for about $4,000, aud the subsequent
transfer by Col. King to Mr.. Remington
of his interest therein. The original
agreement was witnessed by Messrs.
0sRoOd and Squire, and bears date
July Is. 1879. THIS case has local inter-
est merely because of the names Of
parties in interest, some of whom are
we'll known TO our people. OF the merits
OF the claim of Col. King and wife, there
Is NO opportunity of judging At this dis
tance, and without other Information
than the statements of the Press and
the published documents.

"NOr GUILTY. The jury's verdict in
the murder trial of Charles Mitchell.
for killing John Harris at Point Roberts
On the 1lth of January, 1888, was re-
turned late Wednesday night in the
words Not guilty." We believe this
verdict meets With general appreciation.
The general opinion seems to have fa-
vOred acquittal. or manslaughter.
Mitchell is undoubtedly hard char
acter; bat the evidence showed Harris
70 have been a desperate man, to have
threatened Mitchell's life, and that he
went 70 Mitohells house armed with a
9 OtRun for the avOwed purpose Of set
Ting their difficulties; that one of the
barrels of the gun was discharged,
when the defendant wrenched it from
him and dubbed him to death with it,

pleas before the jury, while Prosecuting
Attorney Bradshaw and his partner, Mr..
Jones, each made stirring plea OH be-
half Of the Territory. Whatcom county
will have heavy bill of costs to pay !:
yet it is hardly in the nature of things
that the killing Of any human being
under such circumstances could have

searching Judicial investigation. Our
Prosecuting Attorney certainly per-
formed his duty faithfully and ably

crate service. He served with this
battery during the war with marked
gallantry and bravery, as will be at
tested to by the brave few OF that
gallant detachment who yet remain
to tell of the many hot engagements
through which it passed. After
the close of the hOstiities he be-
came pilot on the Yazpo and Mis-
sissippi rivers and their tributaries.
