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

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

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

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.

: "I have been in thin work for twenty'
two years, denting particularly with

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

"What is the largest amount yon

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

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.

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

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

of the money the government allows

Sir Moses Moiiicflort*.
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. To ihe people of his own rncu

and even in Germany, and wherever olxo
they havo been oppressed, ho has boon

over nnd over again, out of tho hands
of their enemies, relieving their want*
and inspiring them with renewed life
and hope.
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.

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

in which the words can be used, he

A Fashionable Innovation.
Hero is a startling piece of information.
The fashionablo a.nusement this
season is to be knitting silk stockings?
men's half host1, by girls. Tho days of
macramc lace are in the past. The crazy
quilt has fulfilled its mission and gone?
but knitting?beautiful, useful and gracious
cmulovment?is iust tho tonicst
thing out. It has n practical Dido which
appcnls to the grosser instincts of men.
! Hand knitted stockings aro the very
acme of elegance. 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.
A woman to be attractive must poascssthe
power of sitting down quiotIV
and listening If she is always galloping
over a lawn tcnis ground or kicking
up her' heels over croquet wick
ets she will be very interesting to boys,
but very tiresome to men. 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. It means something tangible
to their blunted sensibilities and
the prospect of having a pair or two of
hand-knit hose gently thrust upon him 7
is not wit' >ut its charm to the averago
