 GLASGOW, Scotland, Sept 2S. Tothe Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The little lais and lsssies of Scotland are rugged and merry lot. Ia no land In which I have wandered are children more self-sustaining in olden or impro- vised pastimes and games. I have often thought, too, that where their denials are greatest, where poverty pinches hardest, there could always be found the cheeriest Httte souls and the hesrtiest expression of childish hilarity among the ''rosy cheekit," blithesome Scottish bairns. Geography, condition and weather can furnish no ex- ception.
 It is the same with highland as with low land children; with the ragged, hungry little folk of the western isles as with the romping rolliokers of Glasgow; with the wee peerie lsirds and ladies and fishermen's children of the Sbetlsnds and Ofkneys as with the hard headed, hard-6sted bairns of "Auld Reekie's" wynds and closes; and precisely the same with the little pabobs of iron or stone girs parks of the cities as with children of the border towns and those of the misty g!ens and corlies of the north. Childhood in Scotland may know aspeIities of environment and rigor of discipline unusual in some other lande; but the compensation Is here iu the fact that Scottish children never "mope." Once released from duty or relieved from discipline they leap to their games free as their own wild winds and mists; and the savsgest Scottish storm that howls up the foaming frths, or walls among the lochs and elens has for them no more terror than sunshine, when there Ia liberty for sport and play.
 The children's folklore of Scotland is peculiarly rich in contingent rhymes | which are here called "titting oot" and "chspping oot" AS with the counting out rhymes of the children of all coun- I tries, the one "chspped cot" Is to bear the | disagreeable or distinguished part in what | ever game may bs proposed. In illuetrs- tion shall give few of the most popular | of these in Scotland. The frst examples are chiefly in use in the west of Scot. | and.

The arrangements for the building
of the new court house for Miller
county is in most excellent and COM
petent hands, hence it is altogether
improbable that a mistake of any
kind will be made, and yet, in view Of
the many possibilities for error and
the numerous requirements to be con-
sidered, we would suggest that the
commissioners go cautiously and
surely. Once the ground has been
broken, it is then too late. Let them
carefully consider the wants and ne
cessities of the county, and then gov
erned by the means in their hands for
this purpose, be guided by reason and
practical economy. That is, give to
the county a good and sufficient
structure for the purposes required,
rather than a thing of architectural
beauty or artistic design. All Of
which we are confident will be well
and consientiously performed by
those in whose hands the matter rests.
