Broad street, Augusta, Oa. 49 k ) : HKKTCHES OP TRAYKYj IN SCOTLANI). IIV HKV. It. 1.ATHAN. [Writtcu for tho Yorkvillc Enquirer.1 After a pleasant night's rest on the boat, I lauded on the banks of the Clyde, in the city of Glasgow, at an early hour in the day. For several hours a Scotch mist had boon falling and as the boat stvamed up slowly alongside the land and began to disgorge her cargo of human freight, the clouds, as if aware of our exposed condition, began to empty their contents in earnest. All rain is wat:?r, and all water possesses the property of wetting, but really it docs seem that some rains possess greater wetting propertius than others. This, I was told, is a peculiarity of a Scotch mist. It will wet a man to the skin. The Clyde runs through the city of Glasgow, its general direction being north-west. Tho larger portion of the city being on the north side. When first seen, and especially on a rainy morning, Glasgow presents a gloomy appearance. From Dumbarton Castle to Glasgow, tho country generally presented a gloomy appearance. The boats move along so slowly at many places that they can scarcely be seen to move. Posts are erected at short intervals, on tho banks of the river, to each of which is attached a plai.k, on which is writtv.ii in large letters, "I)j.*wl slow.:' At thcsi places the boats only creep along. AI other places the rivar spreads out for i. considerable distance when the tide is up. Land, which is covered once in every twenty-four hours by the tido. presents a spectacle of gloomy desolation which is indescribable. The first thing every traveler attends *? _r? ?.: * * m mii-i iknelling nciiy or town in wiiicti be purposes to remain lor Home time, is the selecting of a hotel or boarding: house. Of these there are in the city of Glasgow, I suppose I may safely say hundreds. One of these hotels is owned by the Glasgow and South Western Railway Company and is said to bo the third hotel, in size, in the kingdom Americans generally stop at Philips f!ockburn Hotel, 141 Rath street. This is an immense live story stone building fitted up in recent style, with all the modem appointments. The proprietor and manager of this hotel is James Philips, of New Orleans, Louisiana Over the Philips' Cockburti the American flag floats. Here, I may remark that some thirty-five or forty Americans Jvere comfortably provided for. We represented every section of tho Union. At home, aome of u? were ultra nouthcrn Democrats, others were ultra northern Republicans ; some of us hud been slave-holders, while others had bean bitter Abolitionists, but in (Glasgow, all these petty political distinctions were forgotten, anil every man took off his hat and bowed courteously to the American flag, feeling and exclaiinidg "that's our flag.'' The places of interest in the city of Glasgow, are, I may say, innumerable. This is true with regard to all the cities and towns in Great Britain. They have a history as thrilling ns a talc. In fact no small part of the history of these old cities fairy are tale legends. As places of interest, the University, the Cathedra?, the Monuments, the Acropolis, 'he Exchanges, and Botanical Gardens may bo mentioned. It will be remembered that of tlie cities of the British Isles, Glasgow in point of commercial and mechanical importance, and, in population, ranks next to London. Thr rapid growth of Glasgow is very remarkable. At the time of the union of England tnd Scotland, 1808, the population of Olusgow was only a little more than twelve thousand. The increase in the popuiation of England and Scotland during the present century partakes of the marvelous. In 1800, the population of England, including (Vales, was only about eight million five hundred thousand ; to-day it is twenty-five million. At the beginning of the present century, the population of Scotland was only about one and a half million, at present it is, perhaps, four million. For various reasons the population of Ireland has been gradually decreasing since tho year 1847. Its population at that time , i. no 11 ?' ' ' - nua uiui u Ulllll 1I1IIIIOII J ill pfOHl'Ilt it is about fivo million. During this period of oighty-flvu years. hngland, Scotland and Ireland have been sending out large numbers .if their population (o settle up the colonies of the British Government in various parts of the world. In addition to this, tho English, the Irish and the Scotch are scattered over the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The population of the Ilritish Isles?that is of England, t Ireland and Scotland, is ab>>ut. thirtyj flvemillion, while that of the United I States, including the - Territories and AiasKA, 18 omy ar>out tuty-one million. I The Stato of Texas alono is rooro than ftvn times as largo as England and Wales ' and more than twice as large 114 all.England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland. The territory of the United States is more than three and one-half billiort square miles, while tUat of! England, * -vf/Ji ,n* Ireland and Scotland is only one hundred and twenty-one thousand, six hundred and eight square miles ; or, the territory of the United StuteB is more than twenty-eight times as large as that of Kngland, Ireland and Scotland. Hut, to return to the main subject in hand, it may be said of Glasgow that is both an old and a new city. It is entitled to be called a city, not because of the number of its inhabitants, or the importance or 1 oxtent of its commorco or manufactures, but becauso thero is, within its corporate limits, n Cathe.iral. This seems strange to Americans; The inhabitants of little railroad deptt towns, in our country do not hesitate to not hesitate to use the word city.: ns suffix to the name of their town fTo this, no one objects, and city is far more dignified if not more sonorous than villa. On the imi.fli if.lct? no town it entitled to bo called a city except there be in it 011 old Cathedral, a monument of architectural greatness and spiritual degradation and superstition of byger.o Jay*. The founding of (llasgow took pkco ..bout the middle of tho sixth century. Here about 5GO, St. Mungo or Kontigern. built a cell. Tin? .spot on which this Culdee coll was constructed is .raid to have been about a mile north of the Clyde, some place hea** the site of tho Cathedral. It way a place of no impoitancc, or of but litsfc? importance for centiiiies. While Hnriand ar.d Scotland continued eepurat? kingdom.-', the situation of Glasgow was unfavorable to command trndo. fn fi.ct,, without the Clyde, nnd the Clyde diedged out. and made navigable, Gfopgow would be nothing hot an insignificant Scotch town. The Calhournl, one of tho fii.Oht architectural ftrucluroK in the* kingdom, in fact ono of the finest architectural structures in the world, might give it a kind of seuii-n. ligicuc? Importance, and entitle it to be called a city, but never oould Glasgow be whr.t >. un.l what it ?>'Jcstir.od to bo without the Clyde dredged out. "I his -.uggc5t< the idea that if tl?c obstructions were taken out of Broad iiv^r, the bods of iron on King - e.ivek, WorPs creek unJ Doohttle uii^i i o?. uwiikco ana man.: .? source o! tinniei.so r~v. iiiu- to the Stoic of Houth Carolina Tliore s>eeu<3 t?. bo no natu 4.1 vdsun wl?y ships .f heavy burden might not bo brought Irliu the? mouth of the Siu.too tu Cheroke^ ford. as easily us ships of the heaviest burden arc brought fr^m Grc-ciioch to dla-gow Not only so, but by a system of canals, bouts of heavy burden pass from Oban to Inverness, almost directly across Scotland. The only difficulty in our way is wo .outborn pL-oplo are too poor und the natural recourcos of our country arc so great that wo do not feel the necessity of pjsorling tw artificial means, either to support life or tv accumulate wealth. WWh the Olasgowcgians necessity was and ?s the mother of invention. Silica the Cathedral, the gonn of which was St. Mungo's cell, entitled Glasgow to he culled ? city,, and was for several centuries the most important feature of the place, it no doubt is expected that every traveller will give a minute discription af this huge fabric. This I attempted when on the ground, consequently I will he very brief at present The Cathedral of Glasgow is a relic of l'apal ascedai>oy in Scotland. From A. 1). 500 th-.> y. nr St. Mungc built his cell down to A. I). 1115 very little is known about th ? Cathedral. At the hitter period it was a rude structure. DaviJ, the prince of Cumberland, r.;founded it. It was not, however, until 117G tint it was rebuilt and enlarged to its present size by Ilishop Jocelinc. It was in this year that William I granted the citizens of Glasgow a character to hold a weekly market and in 1190 they were granted a ioyal charter to hold an annul fair. The present dimensions of the Cathedral are. lencrth from oast to west, throe hundred and nineteen feet; width, sixty three feet; height of the choir, eighty-five feet; nnd nnve, ninety feet. A tower of two hundred nnd twenty-five feet high rises from the center of ihc building. In the interior of the building there are one hundred and forty seven massive stone pillars. There arc one hundred and Hfty-nine windows of various dimensions and filled with stained glass from Munich. This was begun in 1850 and completed in 1804 by private individuals. On many, if all. of the stained glasses arto be seen more than the traces of Popery. They i?re covered with pictures imaginary saints, or with pictures of real saints. It is stated positively, hut whether true or not, 1 do not know, that the Cathedral of Glasgow "p0SK<MSe? in its windows a display of stained glass more abundant and brilliant than that of any other edifice in Great Britia'i." To describe the Cathedral of Glasgow requires about as much architectural knowledge ?s it did to write '*Tho Last Pap* of Pompeii." The nave,*which is Uio. middle'or, body the edifice. Is one hjfttdred and flfty-flvo foot long. The width between the Aisles is thirty (eet, from which it is separated by two pilirtts.;, The height of the nave is ninety --r' ' . \ " - !* \V'l? W v- ; ^ r. r . s'. - '&&&. feet. Formerly the nave was cut off by partitions, and used as a parochial church. Of the nave it may he said that it is Gothic in the style of its structure, and is charwctizod by grand sinpliity. exquiste beauty and gigantic strength. The choir is ninety-seven feet long and is sixty-thr?e feet wide. The choir is now used as a place of worship, and it is known all over the city of Glasgow as the Iligh Church ;>v St. Mungo's Parochial Church. The pulpit is in or near the center of the space occupied hy worshipers. The choir or band of singers occupy the west end, but elevated above the hearers, perhaps fifteen feet. There is a grand organ?a part and parcel of the building. The house is lighted with gas and so dark it is that the gas. has to be lighted in dny-light- The Cathedral of Glasgow is the property of the Established Kirk of Scotland. It is nut by any mean- a pleasant place in which to worship. The place is gloomy, notl irg cheerful about it. ahd the air is damp and a peculiarly unpleasant ot'er is constantly Hunting through the place. This is true of all ?lio Cathedrals r.nd Abbe\ <. The crypt?from krupto. to hide? und*r the choir, is n wonderful piece of architecture It is one hundred and twenty-five feet long. The pier* freni which the arches spring are so const! uettliat a grund vitw is obtained from tvc-ry pr.rt to the .*>hrine in ?hc* cenUe. it is regarded ns en:; of iht behl specimens of vI'.ulting in the world. The crypt was at one time used as a place of worship, but it is now only used as ti place of baHal, the purpose for which it was originally designed. Tlie genu is of the inimitable Fir Walter Scott graphically refers to the erypl in the tale, or novel, Hob Hoy. The Cuihedrul stands in the midst of nn extensive cemetery. The ground of near, or perhaps fully, one half of thin ancient burial ground is lilerully paved with gravestones, while the ?tber hail' is crowded with what we cult tombstone.-? and monuments ???tm of tilers are memorials of u number of those v ho gave their lives as inurtyrs . f tl.e Covenant. ..it tlu north-east _lid jf the Oathc^ a: \f. |/oiuied out the very -p?.t on which Alexander Kennedy and Jcrome Hiis.sol1, in 1538 were jurooJ at tl.o stake bv cuu.-a they embraced -.ha .Lctrines of the Hef.<rm>aioii. Tho tudcul ul' Sfculch Church history will reineinost that there was something peculiarly affecting In this act of cruelty K>pocialiy was it dUectiug in the case of Kennedy. ft boy of eighteen yearp, of liberal education and poetic jndnwinent*. John KiioX describes him iit; "u young man of meek nature, quick spirits, .uid of good letturs ' When thy timid boj was brought before tin* judge?: und threatened that if lie did not ivcaiit he would be burnt alive, he began to tremble and apparently wan ibout to deny hh. Lord and Master, l.i 'j. short time he recovered. He knelt and thanked i> jd that He had preserved him from apostacy. He rose from his knees and audressed the judges in a firm tone usin^' the following language : "Now I defy ieath. Do with tne as you please : I tlmnk God J am ready." So affecting U'ax Ihn scpno that. it. tnnMii.il th/? linarl of the Archbishop of Glasgow, whose heart was not very soft. Unclaimed Millions. The front of an uninviting brick building on a street nuar the Five points contains a sign, the most prominent letters of which are "Next of kin ; over U77,000,000 unclaimed." This sign marks the business and printing office of a man whose occupution is that of searching old foreign records and chan eery lists for people of this country who believe they aro heirs to property and estatos in Europe. When asked for particulars regarding his unusual occupation the propictor of the place said : "Yes, it is a fact that the records of the Bank of Knglnml, thy court *>f chancery, and the Somerset house show that the enormous sum of over ?77,OX),000, in money and property, has been left in England by persons who have died intestate or without any known heirs.

"Arc you often successful in your searches V" aaked tho reporter. : "I have been in thin work for twenty' two years, denting particularly with claims in England, France and Holland the last six years. In thi time I have visited Europe regularly twice a year, taking on each trip an average or about twenty-five claims to look up. Qui of tho twenty-flvo T aru usually successful with about throe. I go only as au attorney, to investigate, but each person for tthorii [ go must pay tn<* (25 for espouses, beside agreeing to give me three per cent, on the amount of property or money obtained, should his claims ovpre successful." "What is the largest amount yon havo <?ver obtained this way fur n claimant ?" 4,It was for n resident of Long Island, and reached $185,000. An estate that I am looking up now for a resident of 01 io. Il" successful, as it now appears to be. will nmount to $400,000. I hav?* bad the case in hand since the beginning tT <he year and it all depended on finding i certain will diawn in 1740. Only this week have I received this will from Kngland, after a long search. It isnn old. musty document, and one of its specifications is that the property left by the testator shall not be sold nor mortgaged for one hundred years fromtlie date cf the will. I shall sail forKngland soon to investigate this case and about forty others.'' 'How much money \lo those forty claims respresent ?" "To one not familiar with the business the amounts claimed are most astonishing. This one bundle of claims which 1 shall take over with me represents millions of dollars?more money, in (act, than would pay oil' the national aeut. J no claimants are nil of the better class of intelligent people, too ; business men, bankers, newspaper men, and professional men from all parts of the country, but particularly from the West. It cost me about $400 to make one of tlicflo trips. When I get to London there are only four or five places to goto, and if I do not find the names there I give up the search. The books on the subject are all open for inspection. If I find before going that a per Hon id to got a large amount I advise thexi to go themHclyos. Hut when a person says to me as many <lo, 'Why, as you arc going, anyway, just look up iny name please. I refuse to do ko most decidedly, for if I did business in this wnyl would not get over there at all I have a great many people come to ine with large claims that they cannot prove at nil, having been started in the idea by seeing some one else successful. Why, I have received as many as sixty-four letters n week of inquiries, and lately the business has grown so extensively that 1 have hrd to have a specinl man stationed regularly at London." "Po you charjre for lookiiur into vuur lists lisre ?" "Ye-\ 1 have securod nl much trouble and expense lists of about 2()0,000 names all over the world of persons who have been advertised for in these in niters, together with full chancery lists of England, France, Ireland and other countries. In order to get some return for my outlay, I charge each person who wishes to look in these lists $3. Every throe years there is published in Kngland an olHciul chancery list, and this I also have. A fine thing for the hoirs of these unclaimed estates is the law passed a few years ago in Kngland. This is that unclaimed money of- this kind shall bo used by the government in building hospitals and uublic build ings of nil kinds Id return for the use of the money the government allows three per cent. Thus, when the rightful heir is found or proves his title, he gets not only the money originally due hiiu, but if the government has used it he gets three per cent, additional."?

The Announcement of the death of Sir Moses Montefiore will be; received with profound sorrow wherever his name and the record of his noble life are known, and they arc known in nearly every laud under the sun. Ou tlio occasion of the celebration of his one hundredth birthday, October 24, 1884, an occasion that was made memorable by its observance throughout the world and by the sincerely of the regard manifested for the great philanthopist in every place, the people of Charleston united to add their testimonial of respect and esteem to the countless similar testimonials offered by other communities throughout the world. The story of the life that has now ended, !?nd which has ended all too soon, notwithstanding the number of its years, waat fully and fittingly told at that time, and need not be repeated here. It is enough to remember that that life was made up of chapter after chapter of deeds of unselfish benefaction, of fearless self-devotion and of unwearying effort for the relief of oppressed and siitiering humanity. No journey was so long, no labor so arduous, no fatigue so painful as to turn back tho brave soul when once it heard the cry for help. When princes and potentates were powerless, or hesitated to defend the innocent victims of barbarous prejudice or fanatical rage, tho hand of Sir Mosoh Montcfiore was stretched out to shield them, and his tongue pleaded eloquent ly in their behalf, and never in vain. To him more than all others, if not ' to him alone, tho Jowh and Chri8tian? of Palestine alike owe their rescue from the nevcr-Batisfied lust of the Turkish sword and the privilege of living in peace on tho sacred soil of tho Uflly Lapd.

Earthquake and famine and pestilenc, with the thousands of homes which they made; desolate in the Hast during hi? life time, afforded but so many opportunities for tho outpouring of the sympathy and aid which this generous and kindly nature was over ready to supply, and in every instance of calamity, Sir Moses Montefiore was among the first to give aid and the foremost tohasteil to tho tfunno of dnnornr nml ilio. trcbS. War itself wns averted by his peaceful offices and wise counsel, and thuf was added to the long list of his gr and good works, the greatest ben.'llf, perhaps, which is possible for a iniin to render to his fellow-men. We need not dwell upon the innuinerablo good 4ecds of this grand and godly life. The tale is too long to be told, and tlint after all is his greatest prnise.

Neither the Prince of Wales nor yet Barry Wall can have anything niory truly rcHncd and d&intier limn hand-knit stockings. But they cost from $4 to $6 a pair. The raw material, however, for a pair only costs about $1, and if the charming fingers of a lovely woman supply the $3,25 worth of labor they are only that much more valuable.

Then if she sits down she must be employed. If she is utterly idle she will fasten her mandibles on the first man that comes ntong irom mo desperation oi idleness and finding it difficult to get away from a woman who evidently has nothing to do but to talk to him, the man becomes an unwilling captive and sponds his time devising methods to escape. Now, if she has four shining knitting-needles it- her hands, flying baak and forth through silken ineshes of red or blue .*r royal purple, she is plainly not dependent upon chance comers for company and the chance comers will apprejin'.c this fact by remaining in the neighborhood. Everybody is familiar with tlie rows of rocking chairs that line the piazzas of summer hotels, every rocking chair with its burden of idle, clacking, novel reading femininity. Givo these women some kind of useful and picturesque employment and see how quickly they are transformed into natural appearing human beings. And the employment must be obviously useful. Men cannot grasp the true inwardness ot cutting out little pieces to put tnein together again ?s patchwork. Crocheting is nil blamed nonsenso to the masculine understanding, but they can take in stocking-knitting with scarcely a mental effort.
