posed TO raise q statue OF Adam Smith,
the author of the Wealth of Nations"
Here on the slope OF Cation hill is the cir.
cular and pillared monument in honor of
the plowman poet, scotia's favorite bard,
Robert Burns, whose songs are in every
body's heart here. Near by, in an old
graveyard, is the mausolum of David
Hume, the historian, whose dwelling may
be found in the canon gate, and an obelisk
in memory of the five political martyrs"
OF 1893. There are also many fine figures
and memorials of notables in the many
graveyards of the city, and there are likewise
unnum bered busss OF scholars and thinkers
in the galleries OF sculpture. In short, Ed
inburgh is city of monuments and
statues, most of which do il honor.
NO TIP-ToP GIANTS.
Edinburgh has had many illustrious
names On its rolls in other times-the
names of men renowned in literature,
science and philosophy; but / am not
aware that it can now boast OF any tip-top
man in any line of knowledge or thought.
There are plenty of able and erudite men
in the institutions of learning and among
the authors, essayists. etc, but this is ali
that can he said. The giants do not stalk
about the streets at this time. When / was
told that there are twenty poets now living
in Edinburgh, 1 replied that knew over a
hundred in New York. and that this is but
a 1.-THE of the number in Chicago.
There are three men of other days
whose stars shine with especial luster III
the Scottish horizon, and who live in Scot
lands heart and life-John Knox, Robert
Burns and Walter Scott. OF course, Robert
bruce anu w w ohoeS uAS aAoo hsiAiCS
to conjure with.
JOHN KNOBS HOUSE.
In High street one sees the nondescript,
ouaintly-ga and shattered old stone
house. which, over three centuries ago, was
the abode of that grim and fiery religious
revolutionist, John Knox. who was the
chief agent in turning Scotland from
Catholicism to Calvinism. In the same
street may be seen the still grand Cathedral
of st. Giles, in which Knox preached, and
from the pulpit of which as is shown in
weil-known picture. he Numbered In way
that shook the cathedral, the palace, the
castle, the whole city and the kingdom OF
Scotland.
THE FOOTPRINTS OF BOBBY BURNS.
There is no difficulty in tracing the foot
prints of Burns in Edinburgh. Here is
the house in which he used 10 hold high
links with his friend Monboddo and IN
which he wrote: "A Mans Man for a
That" Here is the queer house in which
ne was chosen poet laureate OF lodge OF
Free Masons; here is a tavern IN when ne
spent many iovial hours; here are several
places in which ne had quarters al various
times; and there are yet other spots In
Edinburgh sociated with his name.
FIsH-wIvEs ASp KILTIEs.
One sees picturesque costumes IN TINS
city. Look at the stalwart fsh-wives
marching through the streets, with their
heavy creels on their broad backs, ana
wearing WOODEN petticoats that give good
view of their solid shanks. Look now at
the advocates in wig and gown. Look at
the bows in kits. or that marching band OF
youngsters therein. Look st the pipers
playing their skirling and drooling bag
pipes. Look at the killed regiment, the
