"Scotland Yet."

We are indebted to the Rev A. Blake, of Tinwald, for the following extract from the N.S.W. " Presbyterian," which Gale, donian readers will no doubt find pleasant reading :—ln the crisis of the battle of Waterloo, Napoleon hurled his Old Guard, 3000 strong, at the British lines on Mount St Jean. The veterans of France Btormed the height, bent back the foremost British line, and paused for a moment as if to rest after their victory. Tnen came the sharp word of command to the British reserve; " JSinety-second, now's your time; charge," and the Gor don Highlanders, though there were only 250 of them after the terrible day at Quartre Bras, rushed like a mountain torrent in flood upon the French, and swept them in headlong flight down the slope. Then the heavy cavalry thundered in pursuit andturned the flight of the Old Guard into a hopeless rout. Napo leon, watching the carnage of his Icvin cibles, cried out, half in admiration and half in despair: 4* Jjea braves Epossais : qu'ils sont terribles. ces Chevaux Gris. As the Scots Greys galloped past the flanlc of the Highlanders, some ope pried, out "Scotland ¥«&■" The word *as caught up by all tlie soldiers, and a gre^t exultant shout of •<Scotland Yet" pror claimed the critical moment of tha.t dcci: B|ve day. ♦» Scotland yet" \* a sentiment that moves every man of Scotch birth or blood. He glories in his native or ances tral country, and triumphs whenever a Scot comes out on top. " Scotland Yet" echoed in many a Scot's heart when a •* kindly brither Scot" was welcomed at the Circular Quay as Governor of jjew South Walpa, "Scotland ¥et«' •jfas' the 'sentiment of the Goulburn Highland Society when they informed his Excellency that he was the first Scot in fifty years that had held the high office of Governor of the mother colony. 4f Scot land Yet" was the pentlmentJ tftat prompM Sir "Robwre'Dnff to rbMind the aepu&tion that nearly all'the Australasian Solohies' h,a4 at'preset'Seamen fop governors. NewrSouth Wales has Sir Robert Duff; Victoria h»s the Earl of Hopetoun ; South Australia has the Earl of Kintore ; New Zaaland has the Earl of Glasgow; only lately Tasmania hud Sir Robert Hamilton; and Queensland, if |j»ewnot w> f»yor«d m to |my» ft" 8?fto

Governor, has a So ts Premier, Sir Thomas Mcllwraith. " Scotland Yet!' Scotsman and Presbjterian are generally suppoa* dto be synonymous. But it is not always so. The exuberance of oar patriotic fervour is somewhat dashed when we contemplate the Church con nection of our Scots Governors. The Earl of Ghsaow han Episcopalian. The Earl of Kintore, though the son of a devoted elder of the Free Church and the brother of lon Keith-Falconer, a martyr-missionary of that Church, is reported to be rather lukewarm to wards his Church. Sir Robert Duff is an Episcopalian, „ Scotsman as he is, he will, we regret to say, never be seen within the Scots Church. But our spirits rise again towards the " Scotland Yet" level when we turn to Victoria. The Earl of Hopetoun is a true Scot in faith as in blood. He ia not only a member, but an elder of the Church, and recently at. Ormond Collegel he thus loyally claimed complete kinship with his countrymen :—" lam a Presby terian. Therefore I may be excused if I take a little additional interest in a col lege which is in connection with a re ligion to which I belong. In bygone years my ancestors fought very hard for the Presbyterian religion. They were loyal men, bat they were not afraid to stand up against a king when he tried to oppress their religion. Though fortu nately in these days we are able to wor ship God after our own way, without let or hindrance, we cannot forget the sacri fices our ancestors made in the cause of religion. It affords me great pleasure indeed to see a branch of my own Church setting up such a firm foundation in this colony, and to see this great College in connection with it"

Both the Tek a and Otarami proceed to Queensland to load frozen meat for tha English market. Mr D. P. Fisher, in hi* btter residing the prea:dency of the Trade and Labor Council, explains that his action is due to the Council casting indignity upon him by not electing him a delegate to the Trade ard Labor Conference now sitting here, and states thai; the Council has parted with its representative character and descended to the status of a one nun show. The " Evening Press " to-night says :— 'Smith, a fish and general dealer, who is at present in Wellington but whose place of business is at Greytown where he is well known, positively asserts he knows of several cases of leprosy in this city amongst Chinamen, and he is working the matter up having already called the at tention of the Inspector of Nuisances to the matter with a view to bringing the state of affairs under the notice of Govern ment. Oar informant, who Is a most re liable authority, states that Smith told him in the presence of a well known cjty hotel keeper, that he h,ad seen Chinamen whose names i\e mentioned *t Newtown, and another who lives not a great distance from the Te Aro hotel actually scraping leprosy scales from their faces, and that other Chinamen will not have anything to do with the alleged afflicted ones." A representative of the "Evening Press" immediately interviewed Smith who re peated his allegations, and stated further that he knew exactly what leprosy was-, having had considerable experienca in in connection with its outbreak \n Sydney sqme time ago when they agitated and succeeded In getting the Government of New South Wales to set apart an island for the isolation of lepers, Smith is, now agitating to haye certain Chinamen medically examined.
