addressing a meeting in New Orleans
to denounce William Pitt kellogg.
He made a long and powerful speech,
and he wound it up with a peroration
of singularly vivid force. | can't re-
call his exact words but here is the
substance Of them: "If every drop
of water that flows through the nigh
ty Mississippi from its icy scource in
the far Northwest were turned into
golden coin, and the whole vast flood
were emptied at my feet, would not
consent to stand in the shoes of Will
liam Pitt kellogg. If every grain of
shining sand along the shore could be
transformed into a differing diamond
as large as a walnut and as pure as
air, and the whole boundless wealth
thus represented could be cast down
in one great mountain before me, |
would not take the bride to change
places with William Pitt Kellogg"
Just here a man standing right in
front of the platform called out /:
you are a d-n liar, George You d
weaken? ?"
the meeting adjourned.
R9-A lamp shade is made of strips
of satin ribbon and lace insertion of
equal widths. The pieces should be
an inch longer than the proclaim
shade and made pointed at one end
by turning under the corners and
catching them together on the wrong
side. The pieces are then neatly
overhanded together and lace edging
to match the insertion sewed in the
top. A little tassel made OF silk, the
color of the ribbon, is attached 10 each
point. A fine cord made OF silk is
run in at the bottom OF the lace, to
draw it around the neck Of the porce-
lain shade. A tassel is fastened on
the ends of the cord, and it is tied in
bow on one side. Ribbon of any
other color can be used tor this shade,
but a buff or a pink color will be
found the prettiest.
nA- A smart Irishman has done
rather remarkable thing in holding a
corporation to the letter Of its con
tract. The Illinois Central Railroad
Company bought some land near the
Wisconsin border on which an Irish
man had a cabin and a three years
lease. The company gave him three
hundred dollars for his lease and
agreed to move his cabin to any place
he might designate. When the %ork-
men appeared to haul away his cabin
they asked him where he wanted it
| placed ION the banks of Lake Kill
larnev, in Ireland was the answer
At first he was thought to be joking.
but he soon convinced the railroad
company that he was in earnest. He
still lives on the company's land and
keeps the $500.

EDINBURGH, Sept. 15.-One of the first
sights that met my ayes in walking through
the busy streets Of Glasgow was a sign held
up by a sandwich" man and warning the
people to beware Of mock auctions. This
sign was displayed all over business Glasgow,
and it was signed, 'By order of the police"
The police of Great Britain, and # Scot
land especially, are very efficient, and it is
their business to keep the law rather than to
wink at its breaking, as in some of our Amer
lean cities. Politics has little to do with tho
appointment of policemen here, and the po-
lice as a class are excellent officials. They
are all big men, and their size alone is enough
to terribly a criminal. They wear helmets
and carry clubs. and have great black helts
strapped about their waists. They are polite
and very kind to strangers. There are 1,7Oo
of them in Glasgow, and in Ireland you find
them everywhere. Tho Irish police carry
clubs, swords n guns. They think them
selves great swells and look like walking ar
senals.

By the way, there is a fine statue of Rob
Roy at the exposition, n the Scotch show
their appreciation of Sir Walter SCOTS nov
els at every turn.
The dress of the Scotch women of the low
lands is not very characteristic. 1 see many
plaid shawls worn, and the poorer classes are
very poorly clad indeed. Bare feet are very
common and bare heads the rule. Here at
Edinburgh you see the New Haven fish wives
whom Charles RRe,i,ie ms iinmortaiized In his
tale of "Christie Johnstone.' They bring fish
to Edinburgh to sell in great baskets, which
theyjcarry on their backs with q strap about
their forehead to hold them on. In the city
they squat down on the sides of the street and
sell their wares. They may some of them have
been pretty once, but thoSe / saw were old
and coarse. They wore white caps in some
instances, but oftener looked dirty and hard.
They are very strong, and might stand as
models to the fish women of the French reyo-
luton.
Another of the strange sights of Scotland,
and a much prettier one, is the Scotch wash
ing. 1t is often done by very pretty girls, and
the sight is often equal to one of Kiralfy's
hallets. They wash the heavy clothing with
their feet instead Of their hands, and tuck
their cheap bright colored dresses up to the

either, and one of them looked at me with a
roguish glance as | watched her,
The washing of a great part of old Edin-
burgh is dried from the windows. The old
buildings are many stories high, and they are
inhabited by many poor families in flats of
two or three rooms each. There are no yards
for clothes drying, and all over this part of
Edinburgh you may see long sticks stick
ing out of windows with a cross piece nailed
across the end of them and clothes lines tied
to this and stretched from the cross piece
parallel with the central stick to the window.
There are thousands of such clothes frames
In Edinburgh, and the clothes drip down
you us you pass beneath them. This is
IN the Old part of the city, a part that looks
as though 1T might have been copied ont of
old Dutch picture, it looks so quaint.
Its buildings are many stories high, with
towers and gables. They are all of stone or

every year. The newspapers of Glasgow,
and indeed of nearly all the cities of Great
Britain, are sold by bareheaded girls and
women as we'll as boys. The lower classes of
women as a rule do not wear hats Epon the
streets, and | often see a full-grown woman
walking the dirty streets in her bare feet.
The newsboys and most of the other boys of
the lower classes are b~arefooted. The boot
blacks in Glasgow are as sharp little urchins
as you vii, find in New York. They nave
little boxes not much larger than cigar boxes
for you TO set your foot upon, and do not
have chairs iii the streets. They DO not carry
backing boxes, but spread a daub of black
ing aa the end of their boxes and this does
for MI day. They charge two cents a shine,
and know Americans at a glance. Two of
them stopped me in Glasgow when ! asked
for a shine, and when | selected one the other

l found Edinburgh filed with tens of thou
sands of strangers, who are here to visit the
exposition at the advent of the queens visit.
The old lady had a triumphal procession
through the city, and kept bobbing her head
like u Chinese doll i'll response to their faint
cheers. The enthusiasm was not nearly so
great as that we can get up in America on tho
occasion of the visit OF the president to any
Of our great cities; and though the Scotch
reverence their queen, they look upon her as
rather q fancy ornament, and don't go wild
over her.

Edinburgh is one of the finest cities Of Eu-
rope, and its size and beauty was a revelation
to me. The castle where Queen Mary lived is
now filed with the Scotch soldiers of the
queen, and the red coats of England are COM
paratively few. These soldiers dress in the
Highland costume, and they look very pictur-
esque. They dress in different colored plaids,
and wear killed skirts falling in plaits from
the waist to about four or five inches above
the knee. Several inches below this their
paid stockings begin, SO that about one foot
of white, naked leg shows out. Some OF them
have good, strong legs and fair skins, and tho
legs of others are lean, red and hairy. They
wear different kinds Of Scotch military caps,
according to their rank, and their shoes are
bound around with white canvas leggings.
They carry swords and muskets, and stalk
along with an independent air while guarding
the great castle or while walking the streets.
To the front Of their belts they have fastened
a fur pouch, and in the stocking of one leg
some of them carry a knife.
The ordinary Scotchman, however, has
long discarded the Highland costume, and
you see bat few Of them worn here. AS a
rule there are none in this part of Scotland.
The Scotch knitted cap is worn a great deal,
end you see it on both men and women, and
now and then an old Highlander turns up in
the full costume of Rob Roy.

Cure For Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
OF weight in the back, loins and lower part
OF the abdomen, causing the patient to
suppose he has some affection of the kid
neya or neighboring organs. At times,
81 nptoms Of indigestion are pregent, as
datulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing q
disagreeabte itching, after getting warm is
a common attendant. Blind, bleeding
and itching Piles yield at once to the ap.
plicatlon Of Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected,
absorbing the tumors, a~llaying the intense
itching. and etfecting a permanent cure.

An Ep1NnuRGu poL1cEmAN

Glasgow looks much like Chicago, except
on Sunday, 1t is larger than Chicago, ard is
built in much tho same way. Saturday night
In Glasgow is the night for a general drunk
on the part of hundreds of the working
classes, and | have never seen anything like
the drunken scenes l beleld on Argyle street
at: that time. Imagine q street much like
that OF Broadway, with a hurrying throng
fully as large as that in the busiest part of
the week day along by and above Trinity
church. Make this throng of all ages, sizes
and sexes, and let there be a score or mors< sc
drunken people to every block. Lot many
of the most drunken of its members be
women, and you nave some idea of the drunk
enness of Glasgow ON a Saturday night.
Leave this Scene and go to bed. The next
morning walk out upon the streets. What a
changel 1t is Sunday, and the city is as quiet
as the longtime dead city of Pompeii. All
the stores which hlazed with light last night
are now closed with great shutters, so that no
goods are seen. You walk through two
blank walls as You go along tho busy streets
of last night, and at 0 or 10 o'clock you may
not meet a dozen people in a miles walk.
Everything Is closed. The great city is OBJ
serving Sunday as ne other great city outside
of Scotland observes it; and il one were to
work to-day the police would arrest him,
where they left him unmolested in his
drunken orgies Of last night. There are
1,soo saloons in Glasgow. They are
known as wine and spirit stores, or
public houses, and both men and women Of
the lower classes drink at them. The drunk
enness of Saturday night comes somewhat
from the custom of giving the workmen a
hall holiday on Saturday, and the police here
do not arrest u mar for drunkenness unless
he lies in the GUTTER or is especially disorderly.
Keeling and maudlin drunkenness is no
crime, and Scotch whisky flows like water.
