CARLYLE'S BIRTHPLACE

further anxiety concerning the building.
Every visitor 70 the little Dumfriesshire
village OF E.cclefechan knows 1.-THE Arched
House. as IL Is called indeed this humble
building Is the only reason that can draw
the visitor to a border hamlet which has
few attractions. Carlyle himself says
harsh things concerning IL in letters To his
brother John and was probably writing
more under the influence of the subjective
impressions and memories OF his strus-
Cling boyhood than from any real con-
tempt for the place Itself.
Ecclefechan. like its ne ghbor Lockerb!e,
probably grew out OF an ancient house OF
call on the high road that goes north from
Carlisle and over the Lanarksirire hills TO
Glasgow. The historians ancestors >may
have proceeded from either side the Dor
der. and they certainly included. as he
tells US himself. reiver. or thief. who
was hanged for sheep stealing. But no
man could have been more law abiding
than James Carlyle. the mason who built
this cottage in which his famous son was
born.

house which Thomas Carlyle has marked
with a star to derote the chamber where
he came to light. and he adds

In view OF the immigration bill now before
Congress which In all probability will
contain a clause prohibiting the immigra-
ton of illiterates, special measures should
not be adopted In order to prevent many

threatened restrictive American legisla-
