A dastardly attempt was made
Wednesday night to fire Dr. Black -

beau effected to the lower part of the
building access was then had to the
upper portion through a "manhole"
in 'the board ceilin . Here coal
oil and alcohol had been poured
on the boards and then set fire to,
burning them considerably. The
intruder must have been afraid to
s tay long enough to make sure work
of his nefarious attempt as the roof
is not far above the ceiling and if
the fire had gotten a good start it
might have burst through the roof
before the incendiary could get out
and so endanger his being caught.
The only object that can be imagined
was in view was the burning of the
wooden block in which Dr. Blank -
all's office is situate.

HON. A. MCKENZIE AT KING•
S•ION.
REIIINISCESCES CF THE OLD STATESMAN
—A STONEMASON WHO ROSE TO BE
PREMIER—.TIS FORTY YEARS
SINOE
(Kingston Whig) •
Robert Hendry, sr., Johnston" St.
said he wrote to lion. A. Mackenzie
the first of the present month and
got no reply. Mr. Hendry learned
since that he was unable to write.
Mr. Hendry came to Canada from
Scotland with Mr. Mkckenzie. They
landed in Montreal in May 1842, and
came to Kingston. Mr. McKenzie was
then abopt., tyy!en,ty. two.years .of..•age-
and was yery quiet.wannered. They
crossed the ocean in a sailing vessel
and occupied four weeks in making
the voyage. While the passengers
were enjoying themselves at various
games on board Mr. Mackenzie kept
aloof, and was generally found in some
corner reading a book. He wore a suit
of )moleskin clothes on leaving the old
country, and did not change them
until he reached Montreal. He was
(always (retired in manner, but
'willing to give advice if -asked. Per-
haps he was a little too modest.
Before leaving Scotland he worked
tin Perthshire at his trade, a stone-
mason. On coming to the city he
secured work in connection with the
City buildings and afterwards became
foreman. He superintended the
uiling of some of the towers. He
Was more than an ordinary workman
being able to comprehend perfectly
Ile plan of works. The towers are
,all precisely built. He remained
.two years in the city, and then,
emoved west, when Mr. Hendry lost
' track of him. There were very few
living in the city now who worked
with Mr. Mackenzie.
Alexander Cameron,of Portsmouth,
was a life-long friend of the ex.•Pre-
mier. To a reporter be said :—"My
first recollection of Mr. Mackenzie
was while he was dressing stone for
the front doors of St. Mary's Cathe-
dral. The clergy reserve question
was hotly discussed at that time, and
Mr. Mackenzie, as a Baptist, was in
vigorous opposition. Because of his
outspokenness one morning he went
to work to find his stone damaged
and defaced.
"I was a chum of bis brother, Hope
Mackenzie, a cabinet maker, with the
lateHon. Adam Main,and through that
association became intimate with
Alexander. After living here a brief
time Mr. Mackenzie went to the
Welland canal ae a foreman for the
Haggerts, of Perth, but soon re%.
turned to act as foreman for Allan &
Matthews, who had the contract for
the' Martello towers. Mr. Mackenzie
had the responsibility for the Cedar
Island and Point Fredrick towers.
4130 thoroughly understood his
work. As a mechanic and man of
lines he always had my sincerest
gratitude, for I learned much from
him. He knew what he wanted. and
expressed his desire, so clearly that
I had no difficulty in providing what
he wanted.
"Frequently my friends would ask
me if Mr. Mackenzie was wealthy.
I invariably said, 'No, his character
is against his being wealthy.' I can
candidly say he was a most
benevolent man. He was no
friend of 'beats,' but when he met
persons worthy of confidence he.
woutd give,,,_bis.....lae.t_. collar to aid.
them. I know this to be a fact.
"Mr. Mackenzie was a real Scotch -
man, plain and' true. He was re-
served among strangers, but jovial
and entertaining among intimates.
No one enjoyed a laugh better than
he. He was a real temperence man.
IIe attended the Baptist Church, -
located then as now,
"Yes, I think he was married then.
His wife's maiden's name was Mc-
Neal. I knew her father and brother.
Mr. Mackenzie lived, I think, on Earl
street. After several years the
family went to Sarnia.
"Mr. Mackenzie was always the
same. When I met him here and
in Ottawa, in the height of his power,
he was the same plain, common-
sense "Sandy" Mackenzie. He fres,
quently chatted with me over his
days in Kingston and elsewhere. •
"And so he is nearing his end. In
talking to you it makes me sad, 'for
the memories of the day of early
manhood press uponme. Mr.
Mackenzie was my friend, my true
friend ever."
While at work on the fortifications,
Mr. Mackenzie made the acquaintance
of Mr. John A (afterwards Sir) Mao-
donald, now gathered to his fathers,
Alexander (now Sir) Campbell, Oliver
(now hon.) Mowat, the present lieu•
tenant.governnor and premier of
Ontario respectively, each of whom
became distinguished as politicians
and statesmen.
He was twice married. His first
wife was Helen, daughter of William
McNeal, Irvine, Scotland, who died
von Jan. 2nd, 1852,1eaving one (laugh-
ter who 18 now the wife of Rev. Dr.
Thompson, Presbyterian minister at
Sarnia, Ont. On June 17th, 1853, he
married the estimable lady who
for many years has proved his guar-
dian angel—a womanly woman, be-
loved by every one and respect-
ed as few ever are -Jane Sym,of Perth-
shire, Scotland. Mr. Maekenzie was
twice offered the honor of knight-
hood by the Queen, whom he served
so faithfully, but on both occasions,
with the Hon. Geo. Brown, Edward
Blake and Oliver Mowat, the honor
was respectfully declined.
