Where the Ring Turned lip.
ProfcsSor MncGunn gives me the follow-
ing:
“My informant was, when a youth, of a
literary turn and contributed to newspa-
pers and periodicals under the signature of
Heather. in this way ccrtulntsrnnli sums
came into his pmswsslon, and, wishing to
commemorate his pleasant successes, ho
spout the money, or stone of it, upon a
slguet ring. This ho had nrudc according
to a design of his own, and, mnoug other
unique devices, them was engraved the
word ‘llr-athcr.’ One day its owner wont
to bistlm on the shores of tho Ulydc, and
before entering the water he took of! his
ring and placed it on crock licsldo his
clothes. (in his way home he, remember-
ing that. ho had forgotten to put on his
ring, hurried buck in full cxpmtution of
finding it win-to it hurl been left. lie was
quite certain he know the entrust spot where
it had been laid and had little four that in
so unit-mounted a place any one could
have discovered it. But the ring was gone,
and, much as ho may, not a trace Quid be
found of it. \
“Yours afterward unions the letters
that had rout-bod his oflicc there was one
from Australia, Siltllilll with wax. On
lookingut thcscnl he was filled with as-
torilshrmut at arming the impression of his
own lost slgnct ring. Exciter! and inter-
ested, he at once wrote to his friend in
Australia. In duo time the answer came.
His friend told him how, somewhere up
country, in a ruitlotu region, he went into
a store to write his letter or to add some-
thing to what had already been written.
Upon finishing it he was making wine
nwk 'nrd attempt to improvise a soul
who a mun quite a stranger to him
thrust his hand into his wicket, pulled out
o signct ring and said, ‘Thore, try thuti'
Having scaled the letter with the ring, he
handed it buck. This was all, and no fur-
ther light has ever been thrown upon the
story of the ring or its possessor.”—-Goud

Those who have written about him from
later impressions than those of which I ,
speak soruu to me to give insufficient prom-
inence to the gnyety of Stevenson. It was
his cardinal quality in those early days. A
childlike mirth leaped and danced in him.
He seemed to skip upon the hills of life.
Ho was simply bubbling with quips and
josts. His inherent earnestness or passion
about obstruct things was incessantly re-
lieved by jucosity, and when ho had built
one of his intellectual castles in the sand
a wave of humor was Certain to sweep in
and destroy it. Icunnot, for tho life of
me, recall any of his jokes, and written
down in cold blood they might not be
funny if I did. They were not wit so much
as humanity, the many sided outlook upon
life. I am anxious that his laughter loving
mood should not be forgotten, brvcnuse lat~

wholly, quenched by ill health, responsi-
bility and the advance of yours. Ho was
often, in the old days, excessively and de-
lightfully silly—silly with the silliness of
an inspired sclumlboy—nnd l am afraid
that our laughter Burnetimcs sounded ill in
the ears of age.
A pathos Was given to his guycty by tho
fragility of his health. llo was never well,
all the years I know him, and we looked
upon his life ashnnglrig by the frallcst
tenure. As he never complained or mnuu-
aware of ire—added to the charm of his
presence. lie was so bright and keen and
witty, and any week he might die. No one
certainly conceived it possible that he
could reach his forty-fifth year. In i879
his health visibly begun to run lower, and
he used to bury himself in lonely ricotoh
and French places, “tinkering himself
with solitude, " as he used to srry.-—“Pcr-

As a more military suggestion it ha.
been more than once mentioned that
barbed wire would be at 11168334): de-
fense superior to anything yet tried for
protecting a camp or city. Six wire
fences close together around any place
would virtually make it impregnable."
The fence could scarcely be either

The experiment of surrounding it

made by. the Spanish commandant at '
