quarry ana was reported 10 be worth "A
gey two three bawbees besides" was play
ing one day. and his foreman. whose name
was Lawrence. was playing with him on
the same side. The laird was very anxious
that he should take n certain shot, and he
cried our to him in this fashion: moo.
Jock Lawrence. dye see whaur my broom
Is? Lay yer stane doom there ana. AS
sure as death. I'll sic ye my dochter Jess

Birr went the stone out of Jocks hand
and went Thinking along TO the very spot

''Ye maun gle something else than Jess,
laird. | haze got her already. We were
married al Gretna Green sax weeks since.
and we've been about asking yer blessing
ever since. but something aye cam in the

The laird was dumbfounded when he
heard the news. but he compromised mat
tiers by saying: "Aweel. aweel. Jock, III

At the war department the most i'm

the announcement that the 18th reg

entirely of colored troops who have
been located in the northwest for a
number OF years. Their stay IN the
