ScoTLAND is making preparation to
celébraté the. hundredth anniversary of
Sir Walter Scott's birth next August.
The centennial anniversay of the great
bard’s birth Will doubtless’ be a‘ grand
affair, and one in which the Highlands
ers will enthusiastically ‘take part.
Abbotsford is still the property of the
family. of the poet, and retuins,in many
Tespects, the appearance it wore during .
the lifetime of its famous owner. M,
Lockhart, _ Scott's biographer, married
the daughter, of Sir Walter. . The family of the poet also survives. in Mr.
Hope: ‘Beott,. leader of the “Patliamentary bar” of England, who is reputed
to have the most Jucrative. practice of
any English, counsel, making over
$100,000. year by his speeches before
committees of the Lerds and Commons.

ree MarttEks,—A “Washington.
dispatch lately stated'there was a deficiency in the “Bullion, Fund” of.the
San Francisco Mint‘ of $400,000, where~'
upon a San Francisco. journal said —
“The casual reader might suppose that
this. referred. to--some-tecent: affair,
tion mentioned occurred many years
ago, and was, if we remember rightly,
the. cause of the bullion fund, being
withdrawn altogether, until restored
at the request of Messrs. Cheeseman and
Swain. There has been no recent deficiency on. this account, and if Demo. .
cratic journals East think they” can
make anything out ofa Joss that oc
curred during a Democratic adiiniss
tration, they may find themselves mistaken.”
The Zzaminer, in commenting upon
this, admits that, “under a Democratic
administration a portion of this fund }
did go up the,chimney.of the Mint, and
the Superintendent who suffered. sach
called to account for his negligence, or
whatever else you may call it; and was
dismissed ftom his position.” The
Examiner: clains, however, that’ ‘tlie
amount reported as missing now is
mach Jarger than the amount taken
under Democratic rule. We do not
know the amount, but if the charges of
the Hzaminer be true,a thorough investigation should be immediately made,
and the amount ae well as. the parties
responsible for delinquencies madé
known, No coubt the officers in charge
of the Mint will, in, justice jo themselyes, demand an examination, that no
suspicion may rest. upon them. We
hope to-hear more of this es de— soon. .
