Princes ana lords are but the breath Of kin kings
-(The Cotters Saturday Night.
The. Scotsmen of this city. like those elsewhere
throughout the world. will celebrate to-day the
birthday of their national poet. Robert Burns
was born on January -. 1I59 but in spite Of
the 144 years that have passed since then. the
memory of the poet Of Ayr is even more sacred
among his countrymen than d century ago No
poet of any language is so national as Burns
The German French and Italian poets are read
and enjoyed by their respective cuuntrymen at
home and abroad. There are Shakespeare ana
Browning societies for study and reading the
works # these poets where English is spoken
but no one cf these poets is honored by annual
world wide celebrations by those of his own
blood as is the poet Burns
The Burns Society of New-York held its an
nuaI dinner last night and this morning at Del
monico's. The NeW-York Scottish Society Will
have Il celebration at MendelssOhn Hall next
Thursday at which Scottish songs Will be sung
and Andrew Carnegie Will make an address on
Burns as a national poet. In Brooklyn the
Clan Mcdonald viii give 4 concert on Wednes-
day at the Academy Of Music, and in the other
cities of the United States the Scottish colonies
will have like celebrations. BY means Of a
careful canvass OF the different Scottish soce-
ties it is estimated that the natives of Scotland
and their descendants here number more than
sixty thousand. They are > Ire found in every
grade Of life. and the great majority are thrifty
men of business
For the purpose, however, Of assisting the
poor among them. local Scotsmen organized in
1156 or three years before the birth of Burns.
St. Andrews Society of the State of New
York Through the large contributions made
by Andrew Carnegie and others of its men,
bers this association dispenses more than $1,000
a month.
Should a native of the land which Burns has
made still famous happen to find himself
adrift in this city some night without the means
of obtaining a nights lodging or a bite to eat,
he would not need TO beg. Instead, he need only
go to No. 2S1 East Broadway, and tell the man
in charge of the office that he is a ScOtchman.
No exacting proof is required of such a declara-

We are having fine weather for farm

around. There has been O great deal Of
corn and cotton planted in the past
week. The farmers are planting 10c

and wheat enough to do them and then
raise cotton. Then they can live
at home and board ut the Same place.
There was an all day singing ut New
Prospect last Sunday. "A large crow d
was there and more cohrting was done
than anything else. A lsinging is a
good thing in its place, but now i'm our
days it is moro for people to meet aud
talk about their crops, life INSURANCE.
and horse swapping.
Some people are complaining about
hands being scarce and hard to get,
but that is o mistake. The reason that
some people can't get them is because
they do not give Them good wages.

DO hard work to get it.
