SCOTIA'S GREAT BARre-Tod ay, Jan.
25th, is the anniversary of Burns'
birthday. a day honored by Scotch -
men all the world over. En the issue
of the Standard, of Montreal, for Dec.
I, a couple of pagea were devoted to a
well written and flnely illustrated
review of the illustrious poet and his
crta-eer, in which it was argued that
Burns was somewhat familiar with
our own (lanada, and the writer says :
" These higtorical references, so in-
tensely iriteresting to us fn this coun•
try, are teuelied oft' in a few graphic
and vigorous line° by the poet in his
ballad on the American War. Here
our great St. Lawrence is given a
new name, the humorous designation
given it by the poet being 'Lowrie's
Burn,' down which Montgomery tenk
a turn, (Gen. Guy Carleton retiring
before him ), but only to meet an oin-
timely end, falling liko the Montgom-
°dee of old in Scotland, in the thiek
of the fight." And it is shown that
one of " Tbe Jolly Beggars " Wfle
veteran of the Plains of Abraham.
But the following paragraphe from
the article give a more local interest
to the history of the great Scotchman,
in which Goderich is specially inter-
ested : " In 1875 there lived Guelph,
Ont., hire. Jean Burns Brown, a grand-
daughter of Robert Burns, along with
her little daughter, dean Armour
Brown. Mee. flroWn was interviewed

Vern which paper It was copied into
the Toronto Globe at Horns' annivers-
ary time the tame year. Mrs. Brown
had a number of relies of the poet in
her possession, and among them a
drinking glass, ono of the old.fashion-
ed 'dram' glasses so familiar to our
forefathers. The poet had often
quaffed the ' barley_ brae' Wm Mitt
klerttleal glass. Mrs. Droirkt gave
Mr. Campb-ell II photograph of herself
and her danghter. The little had
the fine dark, glowing efe, of her
