1t be transported bodily to American soil.
 So concerned was the titled English man over the matter that he recently made a trip to Glasgow and in pas sionate appeal ufged Scotland to pre- serve the old bridge for the sake of its association with the name of the poet Burns He charged that the Scots were open to the charge of cant, q thing that Burns hated. when they, honored and revercd his memory and, could not raise $50.000 to preserve its most cherished associations.
 All this presents an interesting and new phase of the American terror inl Europe and the British Isles. Even, their old bridges they feel are not safe to them. There is touch of humor to the American reader at least in the substance of Lord Roseberys ap9 peal as reported in the Manchester Guardian.
 He said he had come to Glasgow Tn many different characters, but hel never before came in the character of what the poet whom they were thinking of that day would have called a jolly beggar.' He was jolly beg, gar that day, at least as jolly ax he could be under the circumstances, be- cause the avocation of beggar was not very congenial to him, from want of practice. He had begged in Edin- burgh; he appealed to the old 'Chuckie Reekie,' as Burns called Edinburgh, and he hoped the old 'chuckie' was go ing to lay some eggs. If she were, slothful the Cock of the West would be down. and would rival, and moro than rival. all her efforts. It was no, secret that what he was asking from them that day was a certain sum of money. to be got within a very limitedt time, to save what was not merely tho, subject of one of Burns famousl poems, but was also an object of nar.' tional and antiquarian Interest.
 He regarded it as absolutely neces. sary to save the Auld Brig. Other Wisc, suppOoiuB tucy ioiicu tO uuu tA40 money, they might have the Aud Brig purchased by some great American multi-millionaire, who would have all the stones numbered and have them again built together in his back yard at Chicago. If they did not save the Auld Brig-if he could embark on such . hypothesis as that-ho would wish that that should be its fate That aet. fin the New World, would be al eternal reproach to Old Scotland. The real feeling he had at heart in thi4 matter was to avert that stain from Scotland and from the Scottish e, cutcheon. which he thought would bg absolutely indelible. They had not many monuments in Scotland. Their, principal stone monument was the coronation chair in England-tha Stone of Destiny, but after all the Stone of Destiny was only . stone. It was associated. no doubt. with many tragic and interesting traditions, but he was not sure that in itself 1t wasI so interesting as this Aud Brig s Ayr"
