A CASTLE IN BRUCE.
Toront9 Globo,
There died at Philadelphia a week
or so ago a wealthy stone merchant,
William Gray, who was at one time
well known in Bruce and Huron. In
1871 be came to Canada and settled
near Inverhuron, in Bruce township.
There he was known as Boss Gray,
and there he carried on extensive
operations. - On the second concess-
ion of this township he bought a farm
of two hundred acres, and built
a great stone castle. A fine
avenue, bordered by spreading trees
upon either side, led up to the
magnificent residence. The house
was richly and elaborately furnished.
In each room mirrors ran from floor
to ceiling. There were grand stair-
ways. There were broad and epaoi•
oue halls. Therewere wide,openfire
planes. In every room the gener-
osity and the luxury of wealth was
artistior.11y exhibited. But it was -
occupied for only two years, and
ever since the rats have run riot
through its splendid cbambera.
When the family left the house the
rich furnishings, were left behind.
Nothing was disturbed, nothing re-
moved. The house has seemed to
stand through all these years waiting
for the family to come home. But
lately the bedding and the curtains
dropped to piecesdn one's hand, and
decay was upon all within the
mansion. Grass and weeds possess-
ed the wide avenue, the trees were
ragged with neglect, the gate sagged
upon its hinges.
Mr. Gray also bought up the
greater part of the town site of ln.
verhuron, set up grist and saw mills,
and spent many thousands of dollars
in boring for salt, without success.
He had, however, for many years an
interest in a salt block at Kincar•
dine. But he realized nothing from
his investments at Inverhuron. The
mills are tumbling ruins and have
stood idle for years. The grain
stonehouses, for here was once a
busy grain buying centre, were burn•
ed years ago. The hotels are closed.
The village store has gone. 'I'he
wharves are rotting away. It is blit
seldom that a vessel enters the har-
bors on the lakes. 'Phis• place once
throbbing with life and full of energy,
is as silent and deserted as Gray's
castle on the hill. Mr. bray had a
fine family of sons and daughters
who added much to the social life of
the comwunity while they remained,
and they are still well and kindly
remembered in the neighborhood.
The motiye which led this prosper-
ous, energetic man to move from
Philadelphia with his young and
fashionable family and make all
these unfruitful investments and
build that magnificent house on the
shore of the lake, one cannot guess
except he found his inspiration in
the salt boom of that period. Ile re-
turned to Philadelphia and died a
short time ago, possessed of large
wealth.
SOLOMON'S MIN S.
TRACES OF A PREHISTORIC •RACE IN
AFRICA.
This building was 150 yards in diame-
ter and tad but one or two entgans
ces. \Valle running in different di-
rections stand inside, but the thick
bush which has grown up within
makes it impossible as yet to learn
anything definite of the sizes and
shapes of the inolosures made by
these inner walls. The most curi-
ous part of the whole building is
that of the tower, which stands near
the outside wall. it is constructed
of the same material as the build-
ing. The tower is cylindrical in
shape up to the height of ten feet,
but after that height tapers, and as
it stands is. a truncated cone. Its
diameter at the base is fifteen feet.
There is
NO ENTRANCE TO THE TOWER,
and it appears to be solid through-
out. Huge treee and dense bush
have grown up in the interior of
these ruins, so that it would require
considerable time to clear them
away in order to get an accurate plot
of the building. It is very likely
that if excavations were made in and
about these ruins articles would be
found. which might throw light upon
the mystery surrounding the history
of them. I regret that it was not
possible for me to spend more than
a single day in making a return
journey of thirty miles to visit these
ruins.
The old gold workings and the
ruins found in Mashonaland led
many to believe that Ophir, the
kingdom of the Queen of Sheba,
whence Solomon is said to have obs
tained hie gold, was in Mashonaland.
Sofala, a very old town on the east
coast of Africa, is mentioned by
many writers as being in the land of
Ophir. The Arabs have a very
ancient tradition to this effect, and
those at Sofala to -day are said to
hold to this tradition. The ruins are
west of the district of Sofala, and
they aro thought to have been the
palace of the Queen of Sheha. I am
at a lose to understand bow any one
who has ever seen these ruins can
incline to such belief. Though they
seem to be very old indeed, they do
not by any means have the appear
ance of having been built hundreds
of centuries ago. Very few white
men have ever visited the ruins, but
as Mashonaland is thrown open to
the civilized world archaeologists will
perhaps examine the ruins, and may
be able to tell us to what age they
belong.
C. A. Orr in New York Sun: The
history of Mashonaland is wrapped
in the deepest mystery. 'Phut the
country has had a history worthy of
being known to the world of to -day
may be seen by the abundant evi-
dences that a very large area was
extensively worked for gold by an
unknown people who have lett no
traces by which they may be identi-
fied. The ancient workings, as they
are to -day, consist both of shafts
and cuttings of various kinds. The
shafts are sometimes forty or more
feet deep, with tunnels of unknown
lengths. The walls of some of these
have fallen in an ere have large
trees growing 1 them which show
that they were made a very long
time ago. On the surface of the
ground above the openings of many
shafts lie tons of broken quartz
which carries a good amount of gold;
again at the openings of others no
loose quartz is to be seen, yet the
work done below the surface shows
that immense quantities have been
excavated and conveyed to some
distant spot, presumably for crush-
ing.
Another mystery in the history of
Mashonatand is indicated by the
ruins of buildings. There are a num-
ber of these in various parts of the
country, but the most perfect and
interesting are those called the Zim-
babi or Zimbase ruins, to be seen
about south latitude 20 degrees 15
minutes and east longitude 31
degrees 30 minutes. A very con•
siderable area is covered by the
ruins, but those of two buildings are
in a better state of preservation than
the others. ()ne of these is on a
high and
BOLD GRANITE HILL,
and is built of granite hewn into
blocks somewhat larger than bricks,
put together without mortar. The
walls as they now stand are 30 feet
high, over ten feet thich at the base,
and several less at the top. This
building, as well as the other, was
circular in form, and seems from its
position and construction, to be a
fort. There are slabs of granite pro-
truding from the walls in places con-
taining rough zig-zag ornaments.
The other and larger building
stands several hundred feet below
on rising ground. The walls of this
building are also of -granite .of .the
same height and thickness as those
Tust described. For about a third of
its circumference there is ono row of
plain ornamental figures at the top.

AMERICAN CATHOLICISM.
The recent returns of Roman
Catholic population in the United
Slates confirm the opinion that the
increase of membership in that
church depends very largely upon
foreign immigration. It is said
that ie seventeen Southern and
Western States, which contain
thirty per cent. of the population of
the country and very few foreigners,
the Roman church has only a small
per tentage of the whole number of
communicants. On the other hand,
in the States of Now York, Massa-
chusetts, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Minnesota, New Jersey and
Wisconsin, which have about forty
per cent of the white population
and an immense foreign element,
there is sixty-two per cent. of the
Roman Catholics of the country.
No more striking proof could be
furnished that the Roman Catholic
is a foreign religion, finding its
strength among classes not school-
ed to republican principles, and
making successful appeals only to
!minds that aro essentially non -
American.
him. Touching the subject of Sun-
day observance the speaker avowed
himself one with Martin Luther in
the belief that the first 'day of the
week ought to be observed to corn•
memorate the resurrection of Christ
—as a day of rest and rejoicing, as
a day of cessation of toil. But it
ought not to be accounted sacred
time. Men should du as they liked
ou that day, but they should not
forget its significance. When
Christ said that God should
be worshipped in truth he
meant to dethrone symbolism.
Sham piety. sham grief, sham
repentance, sham adulation, sham
prayers and ceremonials were thence-
forward to have no part in worship.
Dr. Lorimer took Kant's view that
"the ordinances of God's house are
ethical, not cereo.onial." He did
nut believe that the sacraments
were'meaps of grace or of remission.
He believed they were means of
instruction. Only so far as one
kuows God and understands His
nature is it possible to worship Him
in truth. I believe that more men
have gone into heresy through
emotionalism and fanaticism in
worship than through rationalism,"
ho declared. People who hate to
think say that God wants `heart
worship,' and I have known .men
who substituted their own senti-
ment for the words of God. But I
say that God made the reason as
well as the heart, and God demands
both heart and mind worship."
ST. PAUL A THEATRE GOER,
Bishop Coxe's criticisms of bicyc-
ling by women reminds the Wash-
ington Post of the time when ex -
Chief Justice Drake, of the Court
of Claims, addressed a meeting of
the Washington city Presbytery
against theatre -going, and, being
asked whore the Bible condemned
it, answered that, of course, theatres
were not•mentioned in the I3ible—
a remark which brought up the
Rev. Dr. Sutherland, of the First
Church like a shot, but in his
suavest manner, with : "I beg the
Judge's pardon, but we read in the
book of the Acts of the Apostles
that St. Paul went to the theatre at
Ephesus." The Judge was floored.
COULD STAND IT IF SAM COULD.
They are telling this story on
Sam Jones. Recently he was ad-
dressing rt crowded audience and
said : "I want everybody in this
congregation who wants to go to
Heaven to stand up." Of course
almost everybody arose. Then he
said :—"Now I want everybody
who wants to go to the other place
to stand up." At first no one stood
up, but finally, a long, lank and
skinny individual in the back
Beate. about as fat as an umbrella,
arose and said : "I don't exactly

Part of the common law is embodi-
ed in the English constitution, asp
we have said, but as a law it includ-
ed much more than is usually uu.-
derstood Bred by the constitu-
tion. Blackstone divides the civil
law of Vngland into written, on
statute law, and unwritten, or coins -
mon law. The latter, he says, con-
sists of (1) general customs, which
ale the common law strictly so calI-
ed, (2) particular customs prevailing
iu certain dietricie. and (3) laws
used in particular courts. The de-
cisions of judges on various points
of usage are preserved and put on
record, and serve as precedents to.
guide the actiou of judges in later
years. One of the striking features
of the common law has al ways been
its rigid adherence to precedents,
but at the sumo time it is not a
rigid system, being as •flexible as
the constitution itself. Old usages
have been modified to meet the
changed circumstances of modern
life, and new principles have been,
evolved to meet new conditions to
•an extent which dues credit to the -
ingenuity nu less than the sounty

AN OLD CANADIAN LADY'S=
LIFE.
To -day firs. John Winer enters:
upon the ninety-first year of her
life. She was born on a farm near
Niagara Falls, on the Canapian side
of the river, Aug. 27th, 1801. Most
of her life has been spent in Hamil,
ton, for in the bloom of young
womanhood she married her hus-
band, the late John Winer, of this
city, who died only four years ago.
Mrs. Winer is physically feeble,
but her mental faculties are still
keen and vigorous, and he is quite•
aisle to transact, the defails of busi-•
nese. In honor of the anniversary she
came down stairs to -day for the first
time in six weeks.
Allthrough her long life Mrs.
Winer has been remarkable for
energy and courage. In her girl-
hood Sarah Ryan (Mr. Winer's
maiden name) was famed through-
out the whole couutryside for her
fearlessness and during. One ex-
ploit of hers, when she was only
twelve years of age, deserves to be
recorded in' history. The war of
1512-15 had been in progress for a
year, and as her father's farm was
near the frontier the child had be-
come familiar with the sounds of:
battle and the sight of soldiers,.
She was intensely patriotic, and
longed to do something to help the
Canadian cause. Her opportunity
came. A. large American force had
landed on the Canadian side, and
cut off communication between at
small Canadian force and the mafrr
British army. The Canadian officer
in command wished to communicate
with bis superior officer without de-
lay,
elay, but the difficulty was how to get
the dispatches through the enemy's
lines: In his dilemma he thought
of little Sarah Ryan, whose fearlesa.
character and daring horsemanship'
he bad often heard of. He asked.
the child whether she would carry'
the dispatches. She eagerly under-
took the task and the papers were
entrusted to her. The child accom-
plished her mission successfur
riding straight through the enemy's
lines and never pausing in her long
ride until she bad placed the preo-•
ious papers in the hands of the
British commander. It was a deed
scarcely less daring and heroic than
the famous walk of Laura Secord.
Mrs. Winer enjoys the quiet everr-
ing of her life at ber luxurious home:
on Main street east with her daugh-
ters Mrs. Masson and Mrs. Brega.—
