SKETCHES IN SCOTLAND. • The Dominion of Dukets-11.ir: Lowe',s Speeches in Glasgow.- Poverty Among the iffighlanders. NAAS nSe Nevis, ;)et. ao, asse. To pass from England into Scotland is to go from prose into poetry. But the poetical in real life ie not usually the comfortable. In the building. of cities Charles Dick.eus observe e that cholera and the picturesque are cornnaonly found to be aseociated. Scotland pays for its beauty by having to turn herself into a show place, and for her poetry by a great deal of feudalism., discomfort and pov- erty. I know rio country where the -dis- tinction of caste is more sternly and even coarsely marked out. The local Duke or Marouis. seems everywhere to be regard- ed almost exaetly as he might have been in feudal times -as a sort of heaven ap- pointed ruler and king. In England, after all, nobody cares muds about a lord except people who have a chalice of beinii invited to. dine with him. The average midclle class Briton, who never dreams of such a privilege, concerns himself little about peers, and has no More natural. reverence for a duke than he has for. a Lord Mayor. But in Scotland you live always under the shadow of the duke - this, that and the other duke: Go into a little Highland inn, and you see the Duke's portrait; the Duchess.' portrait, a volume containing an account of all the Duke's ancestors and faniily ; the tialle is • of what the Duke will not allow, what he has done, what he has promised, whetherhe wilt or will not permit the - road to be made here, or the hotel to -be built there, ewhen he is coming from Lon- don or returning thither, who has seen him at church. and soforth. The Duke's .country house (*here you pay a shillina and see sonse of the rooms) is called "The Palace." I confess I grew weary of the Duke as Hippolyta did of the Moor, and wish he would change; and even find it a • relief to pass from the, dominion of pile Duke into the domain of another. In the meantime the cotintry seems to a -mere traveller to be all but !depopulated. There are th.e cities of course, and, in the picturesque places there are the ho tors, and there are the palaces of the dukes, 'a • d the shooting lodges of the English g ntry who:come in the seasoe to, shoot g ouse.- Besides this there is -nothing one might say. You travel for hours and see no- )ody. Some or the Highland villages when you do see them are aS miseraple a collection of hovels. as Could be found 'even • in the west of Ireland. Dirt, squalor and. nakedness :are everywhere. You will scarcely see anywhere a woman who wears shoes and stockings. The children"pre all but naked; We saw the ether day a big, raw-boned girl, fully fourteen years old, I should say, amus- ing herself with other children in the open air: The rain was pouring _heavily. Tne girl had apparently uo garments but a ragged frock with a very short skirt. Her legs and feet *ere bare, of course; but in that condition she was , only like everybody else. Her poor little frock, however, was all torn froni the neck to the Waist ; could hardly be said to ha.ve a body left to it, and her whole chest was as bare as her forehead to t -tie pelting of the ram. We here are accustomed, of course, to regard Scotland as a highly proaperous country, a model of energy and inteili. wence, an example and a shame to poor Ireland. ' Well, Glasgowis a great and flourishing city, and Greenock id bitisy and the Ulyde is alive with shipbuilding; but outside the cities I only see a country Which is fast becoming depopulated. Prosperity? What is prosperity? Do a 'big city, a Duke's castle, and a hotel in ..the Highlands constitute national prosperityj? is this place' which 'I look upon' from my window prosperous? lf at is, then so is the Atlantic prosperous as you gaze over it from the deck of one of the Cunard " ateaniers. There you have a •-steatiser, and a good dinner, and well-dressed • guests on board, and the ocean outside. Here you have a hotel well fill d. with tourists, and gontside a wilderne s. All around this one big hotel there is absolutely no population. ., This is one of the great points of attraction for tourists who are not content with the mere routine pil- grimage oft Loch Katrine and Loch Lom- ond. There is a steady stream of travel- lers here in the season and it is moreover a central connecting Point •between the lake stearaers and the boats on the great 'Caledonian canal, for in Scotland canal travelling (by means of little steamers) is FARMS FOR SALE IN MORRIS.

For one thing th.e Scotchinan's despot is at all events a Scotchman-the chief of the Scotchman's own clan, to whom he owes a natural homage. In -Ireland the landlord. is almost always an invader, an alien, or intruder, the descendant of a conqueror -and a Saxon. But however the superiority. in comfortable relation- ship of a class may show itself in Scot- land, the results of the general system seem equally to express themselves in the word. depopulation. The men and. women who would have peopled that great plain now before me have gone • to Canada West, fortunately for them and for Canada. They are thriving and prosperous there, and they keep loyal and faithful to the old flag and the British Crown, for you must remember that the Scotsman- re- gards the British Crown as hispersonal property arid pride. Scotland gave Eng- land her .line of kings, but would take no sovereign of mere English manufac- ture. Scotland held and holds her ONVI1 in all national disputations, and always ends by having her own way. Therefore Scotland considers herself the ruling country, and the Queen as her Queen. As a ride, the Scotch people dislike the English., but they love the Queen, who is over so much better known and more popular here than in England, and indeed ought to be called Queen of Scot- land for she seems to rule here by right of spontaneous and natural affection. She spends every leisure moment she can in Scotland ; hurries, out of England as fast as she can, thereby often worry- ing her ministers very much. when they have to travel. hundreds of miles in the depth of winter to consultwith her. She never goes near Ireland, and I suppose detests the people as her husband, Prince Albert did, and Ireland, a country in which the feeling of loyalty is naturally almost servile in its Oriental devoted- ness, has thereby at last been converted. into something like Republicanism. But Scotland is the favored land, and forthis and !other reasons I have mentioned the Scotchman in Canada is a faithful mon- archiet, while the Irishman, whether in his Qormemarahovel, or one of the tene ment }muses of New York. is an enemy of the English government, and of Eng' lish monarchy. But there is one phe- nomenon common to both conntrisa. Each land is becoming " prosperous " by the same process of Llepopulation.

Reduce this to gold, and You have exactly 12i cents. It should. i be I remembered that they have half a cent or more of an advantage over we; in freight, yet oarbest factories are a.ble-to sell at the siune pride.

In driving over the hills and. through the valleys of Herkimer County we were much struck with the fine pastrtres we found there. We could very easily, see how they got from 600 to 700 pounds of cheese from each cow, vehile in Canada 300 to 400 'poundd is 'the average yield. Yet, generally speaking, our land is ranch superior for pastures, being of a rich clay loam, while a great part of theirs is of a sandy Mixture and very hilly, but well watered. The reason is our farmers here generally pasture too bare keepiug by far too much stock for the amount of pasture they have. Cheese seems to be the only product in that part of the State. All the time we were there, we never saw afield of grain of any description, unless it was a small patch of 'Corn, which welt principally used for soiling the cows. • A.
