 ^<k}%3 tiihutary of the St. Lawrence, take.^ its rise in 
 J>^'^ sourceij almost as indefinitely settled as those of 
 the wondrous Nile, and while draining an area of 
 over 80,000 square 2iiiles receives in its outward course 
 of over three hundred miles, the waters of no less tlian 
 twenty first-class tributaries, of which some, like the 
 Gatineau, are fully two hundred miles in length. The trip 
 over the Ottawa may fairly be divided into two portions, 
 that over the Lower Ottawa, or that part lying between the 
 commercial and political capitals of tlie Doiainion, and the 
 trip over the Upper Ottawa, ■ which includes that between 
 the City of Ottawa and the head waters of the stream. In 
 variety of scenery, in vastuess of miiieralogical deposits, and 
 as the natural highway of tlie main branch of commerce of 
 the Dominion the Ottawa should be well known to all classes 
 of travellers in Canada. On the journey between its banks 
 from Montreal to the head of navigation the tourist passes 
 through almost every vi.riety of scenery, and almost every 
 stage of human advancement, through scenes of placid beauty 
 resembling those of the thousand islands, to those of Deep 
 River, whose frowning clifl's may vie in grandeur with the 
 towering peaks of the Saguenay or those which overlook ;

 hardy pioneer of civilization, the shanty-man in the lonely 
 wilds of the backwoods. 
 
 It is with the upper portion that we havo chiefly to do 
 in our present sketch, and our desire is to present the reader 
 hrietiy with a rlfescription of that long route which is 
 traversfid by passengers between the City of Ottawa and the 
 far-otr station of Deux Rivieres, being the section of country 
 
 traversed ),y the UNION liMlWAKDINc; An7) IIAILNVAV 
 Company. 
 
 Ayhncr, the starting point of the Company's line, is 
 distant from tlie City of (Jttawa Home eight mileb. It is a 
 protty vill{ig(3 situatt.'d on one of the river bays, and may be 
 reached always in time for the boats either by stage or by 
 private convoyanue. The road to it lies across the Union 
 Suspi-nsion liridge, which joins the City of Ottawa with the 
 Village ot Hull, thence through the vast lumber mills and 
 piloa whicli surround the rushing Chaudiere, .and afterwards 
 over a well-made macadamized road through a succession of 
 handsome villas and well cultivated farms. 
 
 Aylmer is a village of some 2,000 inhabitants, and bemg, 
 until lately, the county town of the County of Ottawa, is the 
 present seat of the law courts. Besides these buildings it 
 possepses several neat churches, a substantial conve '", and 
 its hostleries always furnish good entertainment for m^n and 
 beast. Holt's Hotel and its proprietor are household words 
 tb'*oughoat the district, and to and from there stages run 
 da dy in connection with the steamers. A first-class livery is 
 also attached to the house.

 Britannia, which can be seen from almost all points along 
 the road between Ottawa and Aylmer, is on the opposite side 
 of the stream, and is a small but thriving village. It pos*' 
 sesses a considerable trade at present, due, in a great 
 measure, to the enterprise of the Honorable James Skead, 
 who has erected there one of the most extensive and com- 
 plete lumber mills on the stream of the Ottawa. 
 
 At ivylmer the traveller up stream takes tlie powerful 
 and well equipped steamer Jessie Gassels, which traverses the 
 first reach of the Upper Ixiver route. Immediately on 
 leaving the village, breakfast is served on board the boat, and 
 the fare will be found equal to any provided on the inland 
 navigation of Canada. Shortly after l)reakfa3t we arrive at 
 March Landing, a postal depot on the south shore of the 
 river, the seat of a small settlement and a considerable 
 ■" brewery. Steaming out into the stream again we have now 
 a fine view of Aylmer Bay, and of the range of hills on the 
 north side of the river known as the Eardley Hills. This 
 Eardley ran^ extends for hundreds of miles through the 
 Ottawa country, and is a part of the great Laurentian 
 Range which traverses such a large section of Canada, 
 rugged and bleak in their appearance except where clothed 
 with small growth of wood. They rise in lovely grandeur 
 m^ to an altitude varying from 600 to 1,000 feet in length. On 
 the reach of the river, through which we are now passings 
 they are a considerable distance from the stream and the 
 table land which lies at their base is of excellent quality and 
 capable of high cultivation. The lliver Ottawa here forms

 the boundary line between the two Provinces of Ontario and 
 Qaebec, and the share of the former in regard to the arable 
 quality of the land is beyond doubt of the t^^reater value. 
 The superior attraction it offers to the agriculturist over the 
 northern or Quebec side is made evident to the tourist by 
 the greater number of well cultivated farms which he sees 
 skirting the southern bank. Proceeding up the stream the 
 raveller can not fail to notice on every hand indications of 
 the great trade which, yearly growing in magnitude, is here 
 carried on. At some points he passes, perhaps, great rafts of 
 square timber, principally destined for tho European markets, 
 huge floating islands of wood, unwieldy-looking monsters 
 with queer low-set square sails and carrying each a peifect 
 village of sleeping-huhs and cooking-cabins for the hardy 
 crew, who months before helped to fell the monarchs of the 
 forest wilds ; anon he meets a shove of logs, drifting apparently 
 no one know? where, or, indeed, cares for that matter, 
 but still, surely, though it seems to him, slowly, 
 seeking the rapacious jaws of the devouring saw- 
 mills on the water-powers at and above Ottawa. Again 
 he passes one of the Jliver tow steamers, puffing away 
 with fast-revolving paddles, and yet with all her exertions 
 making seemingly but slow progress, being ever retarded by 
 what seems like an island of brown weeds, which follows in 
 her wake, but which, on nearer approach, turns out to be a 
 mass of saw-logs, enclosed with a boom, and which she is 
 thus towing along. But not the least noticeable sight along 
 the river is the vast seriey of booms and piers which, extend- 
 ing mile after mile along this upper river routes.

 evidence of the uudjiuuted energy, indomitable perseverance 
 and vast capital which the Lumber Kin^^s of the Ottawa 
 Valley have embarked in their gigantic trade. On board, our 
 tourist is almost sure to have, according to the season, a 
 greater or losser number of tlie hardy workmen employed in 
 this line of trade, and time spent in watching them will be 
 amply repaid. In general they are French Canadians, a few 
 Indirns and half-breeds among them, and for simplicity of 
 thought, docility, and fine physique, it would be hard to 
 hnd their superiors. During most of their journey they are 
 probably singing — singing some of those simple melodies, set 
 to Canadian words, which three hundred years ago their 
 fathers brought from Normandie, and which may still be 
 heard wherever the habitant has made his farm or the voy- 
 ageur paddles his canoe. Perhaps our friends may some of 
 them be a little noisy, for they are embarking on a long 
 journey, one of continued hardship, one not without fre- 
 quent dangers, and some of them, knowing that they will 
 not see oi ta^>t.3 Jijhn Barleycorn till they return to the 
 City, have been bi;lding a too aifectionate adieu to that 
 potent monarch, for there is no grosser violation of regu- 
 lations than the introductioji of intoxicating liquors to tiie 
 shanty or the raft. With all their hilarity, however; you 
 see nothing but good humour, and the excitement of the few 
 who may have indulged generally vents itself in an exuber- 
 ance of affection for his fellows. It may indeed strike you, 
 wheu Jean embraces Edouard or Henri, that you would as 
 soon submit to the embraces of a Polar bear as trust your- 
 self within those stalwart arms, but be not alarmed. If

 II, 
 
 Jean's arms are powerful, the broad chest of his friend has 
 proportionate powers of resistance, and it does him no more 
 violence than the gentlest pressure with which you ever 
 ventured to encircle a fair friend's waist. The raftsmen of 
 the Ottawa are a class of men well worth studying, and a 
 more curious combination than their lot presents it would l)e 
 hard to tind. During almost the entire year he is exposed 
 to every vicissitude of the weather, from the most intense cold 
 of winter, toiling amid its forest snows, to the extreme heat 
 of summer, often wet through for days together, working in 
 water or und.cr rain. In his rough life, liowever, he has two 
 great advantages. His food, though plain, is always 
 of the best of its kind, ample in quantity, and well aiul 
 cleanly cooked, while his employers neglect no i^recautions 
 to keep him from that w-ell named ** Curse of Canada" — 
 whiskey. Such a life leaves in general but little fat 
 upon him, but in place of it gives him a chest and muscles 
 whose capacity and power a prize-fighter might envy. As a 
 rule, he is gentle as he is strong. It is in the City or town 
 only he ever gets drunk, and ever there his j^'entleness sel- 
 dom forsakes hijn, and though out .)f sight of womankind 
 for the greater part of the year, he never would think of 
 addressing a rude word or action to one of them. Living 
 for some years on a road which these hardy fellows passed in 
 hundreds at all hours daily, we never heard of a case in 
 which a female could not venture out at any hour of the 
 evening alone, secure from molestation, a fact not equally 
 certain of thoroughfares frequented by those who live more 
 within the bounds of civilization.

 But to return to our route. Passing Kelley's and Bad- 
 barn's Landing, we next read', the moutH, of the Quio, a 
 tributary of the Ottawa, which has f(»r a long time baen th^ 
 Rcene of exbciusivo lumbering operations, and at noon or 
 thereabouts end the first water sca^e of our journey at Pon- 
 tiac, thirty-six miles from Ottawa, 
 
 Shortl;\r bjforo reaching this point we pass before the Ckats 
 llapids (a name which has boen frequently converted into 
 Shaws llapids, and oven so sp^lt on soiao maps), where a 
 scene of wild beauty awaits the tourist nat to })e surpassed. 
 The channel of the stream is here filled with clusters of 
 small islets, among which the water runs in a myriad of 
 cascades, churned into milk-white foam. Here also we pass 
 the entrance to what was to have been the Chats Canal, a 
 work to overcome the ascent of the rapids at this point, un- 
 dertakeli by the Canadian Government some years ago, but 
 abandoned on account of the unexp3Gt3d difficulties and 
 consequently greatly increased expense encountered in the 
 prosecution of the work. 
 
 In this vicinity cool s]3ots can be found in the hottest 
 weather, and good fishing, and a day spent in this locality 
 will not be lost by the lover of nature's beauties, or of sport. 
 
 At Pontiac passengers leave the steamer for land convey- 
 ance over a Portage of afcoat three miles, which is necessary 
 to overcome the obstructions offered to navigation by the 
 rapids of the Chats. This portage is made in the cars of the 
 Union Railway, which for comfort and safety might be an 
 example to more than one railroad of greater pretensions. A 
 well known Canadian engineer, speaking of it some years

 since, said it was laid out on the idea of the primitive defini- 
 tion of a railroad, the fundamental principle being t1 at it 
 should be level. This, in one sense, is correct, and the 
 ground of the upper terminus is considerably higher than 
 that at Pontiac. A considerable ascent is made from the 
 landing to the cars before passengers start. The road is 
 built entirely of heavy timber tressel work, being in many 
 places of great height above the ground over which it passes. 
 The cars are comfortable, drawn by horses, and the scenery 
 about attractive. The journey over it to Union Village is 
 made in about twenty minutes, and is a very pleasant part 
 of the trip. * 
 
 At Union Village (a picturesque collection of buildings) 
 land carriage is again forsaken for water, and in a few 
 minutes the tourist finds himself on the powerful, hand- 
 somely fitted steamer Prince Arthur , skimming the waters of 
 the Chats Lake, and he cai* be no lover of scenic beauty 
 who does not appreciate this portion of the trip. 
 
 In a short half hour (too short to the tourist if the day 
 be bright and a cool breoze coming across the water) we 
 reach the pretty Village of Arnprior, nestling under the high 
 ground by which it is surrounded. Here the steamers con- 
 nect with the trains of the Ottawa & Brockville Kailway, 
 one of the branches of what is now better known as the 
 Canada Central road. Neaiing Arnprior, we obtain a view 
 of the handsome residence of the late Daniel McJjachlin, 
 Esq., whose rame was for years connected with almost every 
 great undertaking of the Ottawa, and whose immense lum-

 lering operations made his name a household word in every 
 lection of the river. Few priv ate residences in Canada can 
 'surpass it, oi the grounds about it, terraced as they are to 
 the water's edge^ in beauty or in situation, and when in 1861 
 the Prince of Wales visited the Upper Ottawa he was the 
 recipient of Mr. McLachlin's princely hospitality. Of in- 
 domitable energy as a business man, Mr. McLachlin's un- 
 ostentatious habits kept him from the arena of public life, 
 and though persuaded at one time to become representative 
 m Parliament for the County in which he lived, he did not 
 long retain the position. He resigned his seat before his 
 term of office had expired, and soon after died at a ripe old 
 age, having previously sold his immense business to his sons, 
 by whom it is still carried on. 
 
 On leaving Arnprior, what many men consider the most 
 important event of a day's journey — -dinner — takes place, 
 and he must be hard indeed to please who, after a morning 
 spent in the refreshing air amid such picturesque scenes, 
 does not do full justice to the abundant and recherche fare of 
 gooa steamer Prince Arthur, and the hospitable attention of 
 Master Captain Murphy. 
 
 The Chats Lake, over which we are now passing, is an ex- 
 pansion of the Ottawa, some three miles in width and about 
 twenty-five miles long, touching at several points along 
 which we arrive at that portion of the river known as the 
 Cheneax Rapids. This poor French name has, like many 
 other on the Ottawa, suffered queer transformations, and 
 the same ruthless hands, or rather tongues, that converted

 GJiata into Shaw's, not unfrequently designates the Cheneux 
 as what an Irishman would call Shnow. These rapids are 
 some two miles above Tarrela Landing, or about sixty miles 
 froEi Ottawa. So rapid is the current in the river that 
 it is with the greatest difficulty the powerful steamer forces 
 her way up it. This is not so perceptible in the midsummer 
 season, when the water is low, but in the high water of the 
 spring and autumn such is the swiftness of the current that 
 to the inexperienced the attempt to ascend it s. . ms like be- 
 stowing labor in vain. Leaving the exciting ascent of Les 
 Cheneux, we enter a scene of beauty reminding one of the 
 Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence, and so, at between 
 four and five in the afternoon, we reach GoukVs Landing j 
 sixty-two miles from our starting point at the Capital. 
 
 At GouUVs the passenger bids good-bye to the Prince 
 Arthur, to traverse what is commonly known as the Grand 
 Portage, a distance of thirteen miles. This portion of the 
 journey is made in most comfortable omnibusses over an ex- 
 cellent road, and winding among scenery varied and at- 
 tractive. ^ Here one first gets an idea of the wild beauty of 
 much of the mountain scenery of the Ottawa, and of the 
 primitive grandeur of those northern tracts, in which the 
 hardy lumberers pass so much of their lives. Here, too, ma; 
 be viewed traces of the dread devastations of the Fire King, 
 wh('se scathing breath at times lays waste the finest limits, 
 ami in a few days converts what was the making of a 
 princely fortune into a desert of blackened trunks and 
 worthless stumj)? Scattered at intervals through these

 forest and mountain scenes we meet with clearings, rudely 
 perhaps, cultivated, but the richness of whose soil abun- 
 dantly — aye, lavishly — repays the scant toil the husbandman 
 bestows upon it. 
 
 Early in the evening, before sundown, we arrive at Cob- 
 den, the end of our portage journey, and there embark on 
 the Jason Goulds which, by the way of Muskrat Lake, con- 
 veys us to the town of Pembroke. Muskrat Lake and Mud 
 Lake may not appear the most attractive of names to a 
 tourist, but those who ha\re once passed through them nover 
 regret their trip. For about fourteen miles the channel is 
 not over one hundred feet in width, very tortuous, and ap- 
 parently at many points blocked with floating islands, and 
 for miles along either side of tiu ateamer the whole country 
 appears to be a vast tract of floating verdure. On board the 
 Jason Gould tea is served, of which the traveller has ample 
 time to partake before getting to Pembroke, which is 
 reached about half-past eight in the evening. 
 
 Pembroke is the most important place on the Grand River 
 north of Ottawa. It is the great depot for all supplies for 
 the outlying lumber districts, and is to the woodsman of 
 to-day what St. Anne's was to the voyageur in the days of 
 the poet Moore. Pembroke is fast rising in importance, and 
 will soon be connected by rail with the lower parts of the 
 Ottawa. Its prospects as a manufacturing and commercial 
 entrepot are of the brightest. The tourist has several hours 
 of rest here, and ample time to see what is to be seen in 
 this thriving young city of the North. The hotel accommo- 
 dation, we may also state, is both ample and excellent.

 Leaving Pembroke at seven in the morning by the pleasant 
 steamer Pontiac, we pass on till shortly after noon through 
 the most romantic portion of the Upper Ottawa route. The 
 scenery along this portion of the stream can be compared to 
 nothing else we know of than that of the majestic Saguenay. 
 This remark applies particulrrly to that portion of the 
 stream known as Deep River, the precipitous cliffs of which 
 rise in lordly grandeur on each side of the deep though nar- 
 row channel through which the mighty volume of the river 
 imperceptibly flows. By this means we arrive at Des 
 Joachim at noon. 
 
 From Des Joachim another short portage brings us to the 
 steamer Kippawe, which carries us another twenty 
 
 miles upon our journey, while a final trip on the Deitx 
 Rivieres carries us to the head of present steamer navigation, 
 one hundred and eighty-eight miles from Ottawa. We can 
 assure our readers that those who have never traversed this 
 route will find their time well spent in making the trip. To 
 those who have, its varied scenery, easy transport and 
 general attractions will render the memory of their trip ever 
 pleasurable. 
 
 Having thus briefly described the attractions of the 
 upper portion of this father of waters it would be unfair to the 
 noble stream to conclude without some notice, however short, 
 of the attraction of the lower portion, that between the City 
 of Ottawa and Montreal ; the former with its high cliff, 
 rushing rapids and cascades, its almost mountainous .views and 
 wildly grand forest scenery, forms a complete contrast to the

 latter, wandering for the most part amidst well tilled farms, 
 handsome villas and all else that suggests civilization and 
 opulence. It is not, too, without its places of historic 
 interest, such as the old home of Papineau, the first among 
 Canada's reformers in his day, and if not 
 
 " Land of the mountain and the flood" 
 it has still tranquil charms of its own, which render it most 
 attractive, and without a trip over this portion of the .iver wo 
 believe no one can really form a correct conception of the 
 Ottawa, 
 
 Of the means of travel over this part of the stream we 
 may fairly say that they cannot be excelled. Under the 
 management of the Ottawa River Navigation Company two 
 lines of boats leave Ottawa daily, one for day service, the 
 o';her for night service. The latter is designed chiefly for the 
 accommodation of business persons, the former is best suited 
 for tourists. Leaving Ottawa on the cool of a summers 
 morning a short run of a few hours through a series of fine 
 viewsj, brings us to Grenville, where, owing to rapids on the 
 river, it is necessary to exchange the boat for cars, a half 
 hours run in which fetches us to the Village of Carillon ; 
 here another steame:* is taken, and passing along the river to 
 Como, Port Hudson, St. Annes and other points of note, we 
 reach Lachine and arrive at Montreal about half past four in 
 the evening. The first part of this trip is performed with 
 the splendid new iron steamer Peerless, Captaiti Alexander 
 Bowie, commander, and we may safely say that a more splendid 
 palace is not afloat upon the inland waters of the continent.

 In build, speed, equipment, fixtures, &c., she is perfect, 
 while her sister boat upon the second stretch is also a 
 superb craft. 
 
 To business men doing business between Montreal and 
 Ottawa, the night service on this line will prove a great 
 boon. Leaving Ottawa by the Queen Victoria they can 
 obtain tea on the steamer, reach Carrillon just at bed time, 
 and land after breakfast in Montreal, where they can have the 
 whole day to transact business and return to Ottawa by next 
 morning. 
 
 With this we must close our short, imperfect, and ^eeble 
 (lescription of one of Nature's grandest highways in the 
 wojld, and only hope that the few hints we have thrown out 
 as to its attractions may induce some few to make the pil- 
 grimage of its stream. We feel assured that be their 
 mission what it may, pleasure, business, instruction, or all 
 three combined, they will be well repaid.
