THE FREEDOM OF A SCOTTISH TOWN.
BY SIN BAD. As every day the cables show, 3’ou cannot beat the Scotch, by cripes, for Coates they would convert, you know, to haggis, porridge and the pipes. The freedom of a Scottish town on him was recently conferred, and smiling scribes have taken down the whole proceedings every word. For. first of all. the pipers blew a pibroch or a coron-. ach; in fact they blew till one or two were in the faces rather black. A haggis, juicy, large and ripe, on Gordon’s plate was then put down, and further skirling of the pipe proclaimed him freeman of the town. I hail these tidings with a cheer: it certainly was news to me, and no doubt others, too, to hear that anything in Scotland's free. Not even in these islands bright such generosity is seen. Oh, yes, your reasoning is right, the city wasn't Aberdeen! ’*
It is estimated that there are about seven millon cats in Britain.
