MELDRUM'S LEcTURE.-Dr. Meldrum, a Chicago, delivered liht lecture, "Scot. land and the Scotch," in armel Presbyteri- an church, on Monday evening last. The audience, though not large, was a represent- ative and appreciative one. Those who, had heard the doctor in his masterly Ful - pit effort, and who came anticipating a rich treat svelte not disappointed. The doctor is an Americanized Scot, having lived some 17. years in the United States, and has recently returned from an extended tour through his native lead, after an absence of 30 years. As a apeaker the doctor is wonderfully fluent, clear and distinct in his utterance, full and exuberant in his command of langu- age and facts, possesses an almost irrepres- sible fund of huinor, and speaks the dialect, " Scoteh as she is spoke," to perfection. He was thus peculiarly at home in his subject, and for two hours held the undivided atten- tion of his audience. He described Scot- land as the greatest country under the sun ; great in the rugged grandeur and sublimity of her picturesque scenery ; great in her stirring, eventful and romantic history and great in her great men and the sturdy char- acter of her citizens. Speaking of the dif- ference between the Scotch and the Ameri- can character and their antecedent causes, he said it was the difference between oat- meal porridge and the Shorter Catechism on one hand and pumpkin pies and the declam- ation of independenee on the other. As to the cities of Scotland nothing impressed him more than their fixity and nomexpan- eiveness. With the exception'perhaps of Glascow, he had eeen no substantial evi- dence of internal growth ora expansion in any of the cities he had visited. 'The citi- zens, too, lacked the energy and push of the Americans.- They are sedate, cautions and love retrospection, while the American •citizen is baoyant, enterprieing and derives his pleasure more from ,anticipation. Among other traits characteristic of Scotch - men he mentioned the following : 1. Their sturdy independence. They will not brook anything approaching coercion or compul- sion. Thus in connection with the public parks in the large centres, you will 'see no "Keep off the grass " signs, aa any restric- tion, couched in such terms, would only exasperate the average Sootchman. But instead of this a modest placard is display- ed, asking the public to co-operate with the authorities in enforcing the regulations. This puts the citizen on his manhood with- out offending his liberty of active or person- al dignity. 2. Their thoroughness. When a Scotchnian builds his house, though it may consist only of a " butt and a ben," he does the work as carefully and deliberately as if he intended it to last forever'and he marries a wife in the same way. As illus- trative of the, solemnity with which the Seat enters the matrimonial noose he cited the case of a worthy squire who had buried his third wife, and becoming enamoured of another woman he invited her to walk with him to the graveyard, and with a gravity and solemnity befitting the occasion, he pointed out to her the graves. "There they're a' lyin'-here's Jean, an' there's Mary ; an' yorderet Liza." And turning to the object of his devotion, he said : " An' hoo wad ye like to lie there yer sell, some day ?" 3. Their fondness for their dram. Even the ministers and elders 0' thc kirk did not regard it as an evidence of total depravity to indulge occassionally. He al- luded to a report of a meeting of Synod where it was stated as an evidence of the advance of temperance sentiment that not more than one-half of the members of Synod tasted ?Thine As illustrative of the, humorous side of this phase of the aubject, he cited the calm of two worthy elders who had "been taatitd " and on the way home they became quite aelicitous about their relative aohriety, and after trying vainly to settle the question to their satisfaction, Sandy thua addressed Donald : " Noo, Donal, I'll gang on afore ye, an' yo'll man watch an' see if I'm steady like." " I'll dae that fine,' Raid Donald. Sandy walked on ahead and with a tentative glance over hia shoulder, said : " Hoo tem a' daen' noo, Donal' ?" " Ye're da.eird gran' Sandy, I'm thinkin'," replied Donald, "but wha is yon beide ye ?' 4. Notwithstanding much that is said to the contraty, the Scotch are decidedly humorous. Scotland is 11 nation of humorists. The value of the Scotch humor Hes in the fact that they themselves are entirely uncouscioua of it. They are funny without trying to be funny. A Scotch minister during a very wet -season, was praying earnestly and fervently that the whitlows of heaven mighbi:lbe stopped, but just as he warmed up in is supplica- tions the rain began to fall. Hie grew more fervent than ever, and as h llnereued in fervor the rain became •mor Fopioui, and raising his eyes to the windo n -utter de- jection and discouragement, ic 'exclaimed : '.o°, Lord ye ken this is fa r eediculous." The doctor also told how, w i e breakfast- ing with a worthy squire, the h et, by way of helping him, said: " Tak nither egg, man," and when he deoline4 by way of making them more tempting,: epeated the request, tak anither ane-th 're oor ane layin)." The doctor, by wayofj uppressing his pent-up mirth, interrogated the worthy host by asking him how man Y ens he kept. " Weel," replied the host, 6' t ere's forty- eight, an eleven o' them's cock ."--Com. Seventeen Years of orture.

Governor Nash of Ohio will probably make a visit to the Paris exposition, in the early fall. Joseph Flory, the Republican candidate for governor of Missouri, was a con- ductor on the Wabash railroad for 20 years. Congressman Littlefield of Maine is one of the strongest men in the house physically. He exercises with 16 pound dumbbells every morning. William S. Jennings, Democratic nom- inee for governor of Florida, is.a cousin of William Jennings Bryan and, like him, is a native of Illinois. William Jennings Bryan is fond of books and has a good sized general li- brary, but he cares little for art and rarely visits a picture gallery. Frederick Winklemann, who was re- cently selected by the New 'York board of education as lecturer on music for the public schools of that city, has been blind all his life. Henry Graves, the Chicago millionaire; says he has lived in Chicago longer than any other man. He went there 69 years ago and for 50 years has lived in the same house. William A. Clark, the copper king of Montana, is an enthusiastic member of the Butte Press club, at the meeting of which he is always called upon for a song, having an excellent voice. The late Admiral Philip, while always a good, religious and conscientious man, was as a boy not much ef a student and at the Naval academy generally just managed to pass hie examinations. Major Esterhazy has returned to Paris and is again appearing in public. He seems to be well to do, yet he is not en- gaged in any business, so rumor says that he gets a government pension. Lord Grimthorpe, the most pugnacious of English churchmen In spite of his 84 years, has resigned the position of chan- cellor and vicar general of the diocese of York, which he has held for 23 years. Samuel W. Twombley, dean of the Massachusetts house of representatives, is 78 'years of age. It is said he has a record of attendance at every session of the legislature since he has been a mem- ber. Admiral Farragut Went to sea as a midshipman when 10 years old, was giv- en command of a prize when 11 and at 12 had been a combatant in one of the sharpest sea 'fights in our second war with England. ' Judge William A. Holt of Kentucky, who has been, appointed chief justice of 'Porto Rico, is one of the best known lawyers in his state. Ex -Secretary John G. Carlisle once said of him, "He has the perfect legal mind." A. number of years ago, before he was famous, Theodore Roosevelt was asked how he pronounced his name when it was introduced in this country and what it meant.
