" To the first question some chronic dyspeptic w\l\ probably recommend his nostrum, which would be of about as much use as a paper umbrella would be as a proffection from rain. Not but it is indis- putable that his ailment may be at the "bottom of most every-day complaints, no matter what the season. And no wonder when the barometer and the thermometer are dancing horn-pipes on the hallway ■all day long, and the weather changes with every swing of the' pendulum ! But there is a much surer and pleasanter remedy than the nostrum — change of scene and air. The latter is not difficult of attainment, but it loses half its effect if not combined with the former. Monotony breeds melancholy. Familiarity with places destroys the charm of freshness and variety, that is so essential to the thorough anjoyment of a holiday. The man who would extract the sani( amount oL pleasure and '-"jnefit from an "annual out- ing," as he used to, must seek fresh fields and pastures new wherein to pass it. As old Pindar says: — Lo I novelty's a barber's strap or hone That keenness to the razor-passions gives, Use weareth out this barber's strap or stone. Thus, 'tis by novelty enjoymtnt lives. Those, then, who would enjoy a holiday with the old vim, and would benefit from it to an appreciable extent, must seek it out of the beaten track. Now, what are the attrac- tions offered by the Grand Trunk ? Com- mencing at Quebec, standmg on the deck of one of the many ocean or river boats, we see to the left, stretching into the distance, the richly wooded heights, the town of Point Levis, the Grand Trunk terminus, nestling at their feet. On the right is the Quaint old town of Quebec, spread, ..as it were, over the hill. Between rolls the river, busy with strange-looking craft. And to the north lies the right bank of the river, also in all the smiling luxuriance of a fruitful soil. Quaint (Sluebec. It is not easy to realize in Quebec that one is in a British stronghold. The town looks French, one hears French spoken on every side, and the Lower Town often smells French. But it is for all that de- lightful. It is a seventeenth century town •—just that and nothing more— and is beau- tiful in its antiquity. That too energetic firm, "Goth, Ostrogoth, Vandal & Co.," have not "improved away" the curious buildings erected on thoroughfares occupy- ing the identical paths used by the Indians lO GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY. when they knew the place as Stadacona. Quebec, quaint, picturesque and drowsy, the theatre of numerous romantic and mo- mentous historical dramas, with her crene- lated fort, loop-holed for grim-looking old guns, fat with pyramids of shot and shell, what a world-wide notoriety is hers ! And how uncommonly cheek-by-jowl are the use- ful and the interesting features of Cartier's city ; for below are the crowded marts of commerce, vast beaches, and within a ew feet a fleet of "Great Easterns " might float in safety. Quebec, really found- ed in 1608 by Champlain, is to-day divid- ed into the U pper and LowerTowns, which form a triangle, of which the Plains of Ab- raham are the base and the riversSt. Law- rence and St. Charles the sides. Fitly called "the key of the St. Lawrence," it is situated on an irregular ' WOLFE'S plateau. The old, or Lower Town, which lies wholly without the walls, has narrow, dirty, steep streets. The ascent from the Lower to the Upper Town, which crosses the line of the fortifications, is by a winding street and flights of steps. The streets in the latter, though narrow, are clean and tolerably well kept. The Upper Town is strongly fortified, and includes the citadel of Cape Diamond, which, with the fortifica- tions, cover over forty acres and are about three miles round. In addition to these de- fences, the approach to Quebec from the Plains of Abraham is protected by four Martello towers. Looking up to the brave old flag floating proudly over all, what memories of stubborn fights and the change- able fortunes of war are recalled ! How one is carried back to the stirring times of 1629, 1632, 1759, when the stronghold was changed .ba£k and forth from power to power, until •'.' : in 1763 the white flag finally gave way to the Union Jack — to that au- tumn night in 1759 when the gallant Wolfe, on the eve of his romantic death and victory, and impressed with the so- lemnity o t h e moment not less than the possi- bilities of the morrow, spoke of Gray's beau- tiful elegy. "I would prefer," said he, "being the author of that poem to the glory of MONUMENT. beating the French to-morrow ; " and while the cautious dip of the oars into the rippling current alone broke the stillness of the night, he repeated "! The boast of heraldry, the pomp ot power, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave. Await alike the inevitable hour ; The paths of glory lead but to the grave. A large part of the city within the walls is taken up with the buildings and grounds of the great religious corporations. Over the remaining irregular surface not covered with r : \ A CANADIAN TOUR. II fortifications are crowded the quaint mediae- val streets and dwellings, built generally of stone, two or three stories high, and roofed, like the public buildings, with shining tin. The five original gates in the city wall were removed some years ago, but new ones of a more ornamftital character have taken their place. Kent Gatei named in honour of the Duke of Kent, father of Queen Victoria, is situated in St. Patrick Street. St. Louis Gate and St. John's Gate are both in St. John's Street. The old market Square, in the centre of the Upper Town, is surrounded by more or less striking buildings. On the east is the Basilica (formerly the Cathedral), a stone building capable of seating four thou- sand persons. The interior is richly deco- rated, and contains several original paintings of great value by Vandyke, Caracci, Halle and others. Here are the remains of Champlain, the founder and first governor of the city. Adjoining the Basilica, on the north, are the Laval Seminary and Uni- versity, the latter being especially worthy of attention. The museum of zoology contains one thousand different birds and seven thousand insects ; the library includes over eighty thousand volumes; and the picture gallery is the oldest in Canada. Lying to the north of the market square is the Ursuline Convent, founded in 1639, in the parlour of which are some fine paintings by Vandyke, Champagne and others. The remains of Montcalm are buried here in an excavation made by the bursting of a shell within the precincts of the convent. The Hotel Dieu, near the Ramparts, was founded in 1639 by the Duchess D'Aiguillon, and the half- hundred sisters minister gratuitously to some ten thousand patients annually. The Post- office, the Parliament, and Departmental Buildings, and the new Court House, will command a passmg glance. A picturesque stairway— Champlain Steps, or C6t6 de la Montague— running off Mountain Hill Street, leads to the venerable church of Notre Dame des Victoires, erected in 1690 on the site of Champlain's residence. In fact, the whole city is brimful of quaint otd and bright new buildings, ihc former rich with historical associations, the latter bearing testimony to the spirit of advancement which has of late years partially taken possession of the muni- cipality. The Custom House, occupying the very apex of the point upon which Quebec is built, and the ship-building yards on the St. Charles river are also " show places " of which the inhabitants are very proud. INTERESTING ENVIRONS. The loquacious Jehu who drives the trav- eller to the Plains of Abraham will put his "fare" down alongside a little monument erected on the spot where Wolfe expired, near to the well from which water was pro- cured to moisten hi.s parched lips. The in- scription on the monument is eloquent in its brevity : '• Here died Wolfe victorious." Driving on from this classic spot through the leafy shade of Spencer Wood, on return- ing to the city the historic heights where General Murray won one and lost another battle of the plains in 1760 may be seen, as may the bronze statue presented by Prince Napoleon Bonaparte in 1855 to commemo- rate the fierce struggles. The antitjuated one-storey house where Montmorency was laid out, near the hotel, the Ursuline Con- vent—founded in 1641, and containing some splendid paintings— will repay a visit. In- deed, the city which Richelieu fondly hoped would one day become the capital of a Northern Mexico, teems with interesting associations, and to the imaginative is a veritable poem in masonry. The strange tortuous streets, the dark culs de sac, the weird-looking older houses, seem to be silently eloquent of a memorable past. If, after feasting the historic soul, one sits in a contemplative mood, in the cool of the even- ing, on Dufferin Terrace, inhaling the re- freshing breezes of the St. Lawrence there again he sits on classic ground, for that charming promenade stands on the but- tresses and platform formerly occupied by the Chateau of St. Louis, built by Cham- plain in 1620— a building which did duty as. fortress, prison and Governor's palace until it was destroyed by fire in 1834. The ter- race commands a scene of surpassing beauty. Looking over the low-lying town, on one side are the fortified biuifs of Point Levia, and on the other the St. Charles river winds away up its peaceful valley. The white M.

If time and circumstances serve, the trav- eller should, before going t Montreal, pay a visit to the Falls of Montmorenci. They are about eight miles from Quebec, by a road which crosses the St. Charles River. 3T>e Falls are beautifully situated, and con- li of a .solid and compact mass of water, v:> feet high and 50 feet wide, which plunges. " 'thout a break, over a precipice into clouds 01 mist, and then flows into the St. Law- rence. Close by is the little room (in Haldi- mand House) occupied by Her Majesty's father in 1791. THE SAGtJKNAV, the largest tributary of the great St. Law- rence, and unquestionably one of the most remarkable rivers of the continent. It is 142 miles down the St! Lawrence, and is the prmcipal outlet 0' Lake St. John, which is Its head water. Within the last few years this river has become a very popular resort thousands of Canadians and Americans have wended their way to the now famous river Elegantly appointed steamers malje the run at frequent iniervals. In the run down, the Island of Orleans is passed, and seventy miles below Quebec are the celebrated trails of Ste. Anne. Five m;it helow this again is Grosse Isle, beautiful , bt -hy-. 5,d memories as the last resting place of some 6,oon Irish emigrants. Ninety miles down stream is Murray Bay. a favourite watering-place of the f^wer St. Lawrence, picturescjuely situ- *l«darfi»d frowning hills and wild scenery Riviere du I^up passed, a couple of hours conveys the expectant traveller to Tadousac, at the mouth of the Saguenay. From this point the joujnev is through scenery of mag- nificent grandeur The original name of the Saguerw'v was"Chicoutime" (deep water), but its p' -»nt name is a corruption of " St. Jean Nez. Even were it desirable to give a description of this wild and romantic spot it would be impossible. Words are not equal to the task. The water of the river, though crystal in -its clearness, appears, in many places, black as midnight, from the height of the awful cliffs which rise sheer to r.ooo, and even 2,000 feet above the water. Cape Eternity, at the entrance to Trinity Bay, springs 2,000 feet upwards, and the river at its feet is more than 600 fathomsdeep. Here, as at Niagara, one feels the insignifi. cance of man in gazing at the Almighty's handiwork. "Ha-ha Bay," the "Great Spirit Rapide." the Tableau (a column 600 feet by 300 feet, with sides as smooth as if they were carved). Trinity Rock and Cape Eternity, are only some of the many wonders of this wonderful river, in which it would almost apne.'- that the great Architect had sought to show his power by surrounding a river at one moment lashed into fury by mad rapids, the next silent as the grave, passing between rock-bound banks of ter- rific grandeur, by scenes of placid sylvan beauty and rich magnificence. iliontccal. Just before entering Montreal the train dashes through the Victoria bridge of the Grand Trunk Railway, a tubular structure of magnificent proportions which sp.- « (he St. Lawrence, and gives uninterrupted cci.r munication 10 the western traffic w^ li ;;)r.i of the United States.

Having selected an hotel— an easy matter. Montreal being well supplied in this respect —the visitor would do well to drive over the city and through Mont Royal Park, which is, m the language of Lord Dufferin, "the finest park Jn the world." The mountain is bordered by gardens and ornamental enclo- A CANADIAN TOUR.

From the summit, what a panorama meets our view ! There stretches away the dreamy length of the St. Lawrence, islanded as far as the eye can reach. The Catskills are in the distance, aijd the tips of the Green Mountains, Nearer are the humps of Mon- tarville and Beloeil, while to the north may be seen rising the blue hills of the Lauren- tides. The city lies at the foot, humming with busy industry. Near by, hewn out of • the etornal rock are the immense reservoirs from which Montreal draws her daily 40- cx)o,ooo gallons of water. It will be at once seen that Montreal, like Quebec, is in portions intensely French. Some few of the older streets -narrow and crooked— are still lined by primitive build- ings that strongly remind one of the quaint old towns of Rouen, Caen and others in Normandy. About three-fourths of the population of the city are Catholics, of French extraction, who retain both the lan- guage and customs of their Mother Country. The numerous places of worship attended by these and other cTenommations, have earned for Montreal the name "City of Churches." Many of these places of wor- ship will well repay a visit. The new church of the Jesuits, Notre Dame, Christ Church Cathedral (said to be the best representative of English Gothic architecture in America), the Church of the Gezu, a veritable art gal- lery, and the Cathedral of St. Peter (in course of erection) are prominent amongst these. Notre Dame, particularly, is claimed to be the largest in North America, and is capa- ble of holding over ten thousand people. The interior has just undergone a gorgeous process of painting in the Byzantine style. Every inch of the edifice has been hand- painted in countless designs at immense cost. In one of the two towers by which this handsome fane is flanked, is a monster bell, which goes by the name of "Gros Bour^ don," and weighs nearly 30,000 pounds. From the battlement a most wonderful pros-, pectjsobtained-the broad rolling waters of thf^ P.t, Lawreiitc, lying aimosi at the foot ot the spectator, covered with shipping ; to the right, Victoria Bridge, Nun's fsland, La- prairie, the boiling rapids of Lachine, the blue hills of Vermont in the far-off distance ; to the left the'beautiful Island of St. Helen s, towns of St. Lambert %rid Longueuil, and the river studded with islands until its silver course is lost at the village of Ver- cheres. From St. Helen's Island, the " Coney Island " of Montreal, reached by ferry-boat, the view of the city is not to be surpassed. With Mount Royal for a background, covered with tasteful villas, the city spread- ing far as the eye can reach, interspersed at frequent intervals with tall spires, the effect is majestic. Returning, St. James and Notre Dame streets will be found the best business thoroughfares, and on them, palatial houses which considerably aston- ished the Americans who visited the Ice Carnival. Victoria Square is one of the "lungs" of the city. It is a handsome open space, centred with fountains, which in turn are surrounded by tastefully-arranged gardens. In it is a statue of Queen Victoria, Sboottng Xacbfne 1Rapi&8. The sensation which tingles through every nerve as one stands on a steamer pitching down an inclined plane of water at the rate of twpnty miles an hour, is such a one as would have given a " distinct pulsation " to Charles Matthews' 'Wai/ hero in "Used Up." This is how the experience has been described : "Suddenly a scene of wild confusion bursts upon the eye ; waves are lashed into spray and into breakers of a thousand forms by the submerged rocks which they are dashed against in the headlong impetuosity of the river. Whirlpools, a storm-lashed sea, mingle their sublimity in a single rapid. Now passing with lightning speed within a few yardF of rocks which, did the vessel but touch them, would reduce her to an utter wreck before the crash could sound upon the ear. Did she jeven diverge in the least from her course— if her head were not kept straight with the course of the rapid- she would instantly be submerged"^ and rolled over and over. Ere we can take a glance at the scene, the boat descends the wall of waves and foam like a bird, and a tl - any means imposing, nor does It seem commensurate with the dignity of Her Majesty's representative. During the sitting of Parliament, however, it if the scene of much gaiety. The Chaudiere Falls, a nice drive from Ottawa, are considered by many to rank next in importance, beauty and grandeur to Niagara. Certainly no person ought to leave the city before paying them a visit. The width of the greater fall is two huqdred feet Its depth forty-the boiling, seething, foam- ing character of the water giving name to the place. On the northern side is Little Chaudiere, and here the waters, after their leap, seems to go into some subterranean passage, by which they are carried off until they appear again at a place called "The Kettles," half a mile lower down. Ubc mbitc ObommtiB, This range of hills is one of the great summer resorts of A.nericans, and is year by year becoming a greater attraction to Canadian travellers. Situated in New Hampshire, twenty years ago they were accessible only by long and tedious stage journeys ; now the Grand Trunk Railway penetrates their very centre, and brings them within a few hours of Montreal. The consequence is that many beautiful and attractive places, formerly known only to the hunter and the fisherman or the hardy explorer, are now within reach of the trav- eller, who can visit them in comfort and at small cost. The scenprv fm^i o„.j mn— the two hundred peaks which form this celebrated group will compare favourably W-.:' A CANADIAN TOUR. 21 » with that of the Swiss Alps. The climate of Mount Washington, the highest point corresponds with] that of Greenland ; the summit isthusshown to be in the arctic zone and the animal and vegetable life correspond with that of Labrador. Isaac Hill says that Mount Washington had been thousands of years in existence! before the internal fires upheaved the Alps. JThanks to the triumph of engineer- ing skill, the Mount Wash- ington Railway, ascent is a matter of ease. Once at the top, and what a magnificent spectacle is unfolded to the enraptured view ! "A hori- zon nearly 600 miles bounds the prospect, and the moun- tain peaks stand on every side as sei .inels." The evening prospect is partic- ularly striking. The great pyramidal shadow of the Summit travels along the eastern landscape, gradual- ly darkening green fields, pleasant lakes, winding riv- ers, and the snug hamlets that line their shores till, reaching the horizon, the apex actually seems to lift itself into the haze. The western mountains are glowing with a goltjen glory, and as ths shadows deepen, the mists begin to collect on the surface of every lake, and pond, and brook, till it seems as though each little sheet of water was blanketed and tucked in beneath its own coverlet of cloud, toispend the night in undisturbed repose. On a bright, clear day the tourist can see Mount Carmel, between New Hampshire and Maine, the Quebec Mountains, and the Atlantic Ocean.

J an island covering many acres, some heavily wooded, some covered only with grass, some cultivated as farms, some containing only a beautiful summer residence with its sur- rounding pleasure grounds, and others fitted up with rustic seats and tables for pleasure parties. Some of the islands are hilly, while others scarcely rise above the water's sur- face, and viewed from the deck of a steamer winding its way among them make an im- pression upon the mind that lemory tena- ciously clings to. Of course these localities are the very paradise o. sportsmen, espe- cially those who enjoy fishing and wild fowl shooting, and every facility (or these pur- suits, as well as for boating and other water- ing-place recreations, is furnished by the summer hotels among the islands. In order to enjoy this unique excursion it will be necessary to break the westward journey from Montreal at Kingston, a strongly fortified city, a military dep6t, and originally settled by Governor de Courcelles in 1672. Count de Frontenac erected a fort here, which stronghold was long a bone of contention between the French and the Indians, until its destruction by Colonel Bradstreet, in 1758. King's Town fell into the hands of the British in 1762. A large and elegantly appointed steamer leave Kingston at five o'clock every morning — when _ Night's tapers are burnt out, .ind jocund day Stands tiptoe on tile misty mountain's top. —so as to make the ever-to-be-remembered run through the •■ Thousand Islands," and down to Montreal, for those going so far, by daylight. At times the vessel passes' so close to the islands that a pebble might be cast on their shores. Again, looking ahead, it sometimes appears as though further pro- gress IS effectually barred, but the boat winds about tortuous passages until a " clear road " IS once more seen. Suddenly the river seems to come to an abrupt termina- tion; but, approaching the threateningshores, a channel suddenly appears, and you are whirled into a magnificent amphitheatre of lake. This is, to all appearance, bounded by an immense green bank. At your approach the mass is moved as if in a Jian& Xaftes. The Midland Division of the Grand Trunk Railway takes the tourist through some of the-most picturesque and varied .scenerv- Iht^'T.r^ ever-changin: anorama. while, at the same time, it is a perfect sportsman's paradise. The Midland has four terminal stations, Toronto Whitby-Port Hope and Belle- ville, and from all these the chief boints of interest are easily and speedily reached. Toronto has already been amply described. Whitby once a Seneca village, and early settled by the French, is thirty miles east bordering on Lake Ontario. Port Hope formerly the Ganeraski of the Indians is one of the pleasantest of the lake side towns. It boasts of a capital harbour, and during the season of navigation, the steamer Norseman" plies regularly between thia place and Rochester, many sportsmen choos- ing this route to reach the famous hunting grounds of Midland Ontario. Belleville is an incorporated city, b^utifully situated on I A CANADIAN TOUR. the Day of guinte. The River Moira passes through the city, and furnishes water-power for the numerous manufacturing industries of the place. In the summer time steamers leave daily for different ports along the bay and River St. Lawrence. Massassauga point on this bay is quite a resort, and excellent fishing is to be had h«re. One of the first places to be visited in this district is the charming Trent River, which may be reached from either Trenton or Campbellford. It is navigable for canoes, with one or two short portages. Some picturesque falls are met with, and its waters teem with maskinonge and black bass. In the summer of 1883 the Ameri- can Canoe Asso- ciation met here, and so charmed were they with the delightful scenery and places they visit- ed, that in the following year their visit wa? re- newed. As nu- merous tourists now seek a sum- mer's outing in a canoe, it may not be uninteresting to follow the members of the Association in their trip, who, with their friends and families, num. bered some four hundred. Passing up the Trent River, Rice Lake was reached, one of the prettiest of the inland waters, which is specially reserved by Government for fishing purposes, a permit being granted to applicants at a nominal cost. This lake was most ."ppropriately named, for as the early pilgrims approached this water they found it deeply fringed with wild rice, over which hovered clouds of wild fowl— beauti- ful wood-duck, with summer glistening in their plumage; also fall and winter duck just returned from the north. Through this lake are scattered conica wooded with maples, whose bright leaves at times fall on the water like Hakes of fire. A town- ship on the lower edge of Rice I^ke has been aptly named Asphodel— no unfit desig- nation for well-watered meadows, where the shades of Indian heroes may still linger.

On Rice Lake the chief Indian settlement IS Hiawatha-named after the hero of Oj.bbeway Mythology, whom Longfellow has immortalized in his melodious trochaics. Here yon may sti!! find, in the ordinary language of the Ojibbeway, fragments of fine imagery and picture-talk, often in the very words which the American poet has so 38 GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY. happily woven together, while the scenery of this Trent Valley reproduces that of the Vale of Tawasentha. Here are " the wild rice of the river," and " the Indian Village," and '■ the groves of singing pine trees, ever sighing, ever singing." At Fenton Falls we have " Minnehaha,"— ■• Laughing Water," and not far below is Sturgeon Lake, the realm of the "Kingly Fishes." Sturgeon of portentous size are yet met with, though falling somewhat short of the comprehen- sive fish sung by Longfellow, which swal- lowed Hiawatha, canoe and all. Still revenons d. nos moutons, and pursuing the course of our canoeg, the Otonabee— " Mouthwater "—River was next entered, and the journey continued to Lakelield, a station of the Midland division of the Grand Trunk system. The Otonabee here expands into Lake Ketchewanook, the " Lake of the Rapids; ' thence, between bold and rocky banks, it races, rather than flows to Ptter- boro ; the channel descend- ing 150 feet in nine miles. Clear Lake, where the over- flow of the whole lake chain is gathered into a crystal funnel, is next entered, and junction made with Stony Lake, that owes its wild beauty to the Laurentian formation, which often ab- ■ ruptly closes the vista with beetling crags of red and gray gneiss, and of which the islands are formed, that year after year are whitened by thetentsof the Canoe As- sociation. And not the least charming feature of the varied landscape is the mul- tiplicity of islands which here give new variety and something of wildness to the .scene. Cairn Dhu, Cirassy and Rocky Islands lie near together, each a little para- dise between the waves and the sky. The old settlers or the searchers into the curi- osities of Indian traditions could tell many a weird tale of the strange scenes that have been witnessed here, and the stirring events with which it is connected, in the legends of a race who once found pleasure and happi- ness here. Rocky Island is one of the most beautiful of the group. A craggy hill rises from the shore, towering sixty feet above the placid waters below. At this point, known as the lover's leap, the legend tells, Aynlah, a daughter of Kareeka, a Seneca chief, was captured by the Wyandotts, and placed on Rocky Island, until the chief's son should A 4 \ i\ A CANADIAN TOUK. 29. A I s return from a hunting expedition, when she was to be compelled to be hts bride. Meratoo, her lover, left his tribe and wan- dered for weeks throufijh th«! enemy's coun- try, trying to find the prison of Aynlah, the beautiful. The night before the wedding feast she glided from her tepee to this rocky point to sing once a^ lin the songs Meratoo loved so well. Meratoo, travel ,vorn and weary, was resting at Cairn 1 )hu when he heard and knew the soni; of his lover. The waters of the lake had risen to a mighty storm, but he launched his canoe fearlessly on the angry waves. He battled with the] fierce winds until he nearly reached the rock, when an arrow, f;red by his rival, pierced his heart. The Indian maiden, seeing her lover's death leaped from the rock into the surging tide below. Her spirit had gone to join her warrior lover, and now at midnight "Oft from the Inclhin hunter's cnnip This4over and maid so true Are seen, ut the hour of midni);ht damp, To cross the liikc by n fire Hy lamp And p.iddle their white canoe." Birdie Falls, Love-Sick Lake, Fairy Lake, are all a continuation of this water system, and offer the canoeist an uninterrupted course of some 500 miles, through a variety of scenery, which the world can nowhere excel for natural and picturesque beauty. By the Trent Valley Canal the charming and romantic village of Bobcaygeon is reached. The steamer " Beaubocaye," which plies between Lindsay and Bobcay- geon, would evidently associate the name with the French explorers, and to their out- spoken admiration of the " lovely wood- lands " on these waters. Without doubt, the fishing in this neighbourhood is the very finest to be had in the country. The village is surrounded by water on all sides, and the ripples of the falls can be plainly heard. There is excellent hunting to be had in these parts ; deer abound, and guides are readily procured, the season lasting from October 15th "to December 15th. From this place a pleasant excursion by means of the Trent Valley Navigation Com- pany may be made to Sturgeon Point, where is located one of the best summer hotels in Canada, with capital fishing near by ; thence through Sturgeon Lake and bcugog River *n Lindsay, Lindsay, cha -mingly situated on the Sou- gog River, is one of the pleasantest of the inland towns of Canada. It has a population of upwards of 5,000 inhabitants ; is the county seat of Victoria County, contains the county buildings, and several fine churches and schools, while its river facili- ties offer many plea.sant excursions by water. North of Lindsay are Fenelon Falls, name I after the early French missioP'.'ry of Canada. These falls enlist the admiration of all who see them. They are picturesquely situated where Lake (Cameron empties itself into the Fenelon Kiver ; and the Government have erected locks here to complete this chain of inland communication. Progress- ing in a northerly direction Haliburton is reached, by a branch of the Grand Trunk, formerly known as the Victoria Railway. Here are to be found the great lumber regions of the English Colonization Com- pany, where are numerous lakes and streams, where lovers of the gentle art can meet with the best of sport, while there is no section of the country where deer are more plentiful. There are important stone quarries here, while Mount Snowdon may be regarded as a solid mountain of iron. South of Lindsay is Port Perry, a prettily situated town of some j.ooo inhabitants, on the Scugog, possessing many attractions for the tourist. Thirty miles east of Port Hope, and ninety rr les northeast of Toronto, is the thriving town of Peterborough, which is now entering the dignity of a city, having 10,000 inhabi- tants, and joined to the village of Ashburn- ham opposite by a handsome bridge. There IS excellent fishing in the river, and no one making a tour in Midland Ontario should neglect to visit this place. Further east, and a terminal point of the line, is Madoc, which is also reached from Belleville, a dis- tance of some thirty miles. To the minor and metallurgist Madoc Township became in the fall of 1866 an object of the keenest interest, from the discovery of gold on the upper course of the Moira. 30 I This region aL5 ""' ^ °^ '^"™°^^ 'here is c"pit!?1 '°'"' ^P'^"'^'^ «-«"ery ; while Lak^Mola ^'"' ^°°^ ''°'«'^- governor, he Ei "o^M •'''" ^" ^^^'^ doubt onecf !), ^°""^' '^' without A two hour? r/'^'i^'"'" *''«--''^' tourist in the b 'f ?.°T ^°'°"'° '^"^^ '^e c''ie«vpVurateXod1S?.f«"-- and which ahn„n^ Enghsh settlers, P-uresLnrrV"T;"racr'""^^^'^"^ one mile from the v^.,/ J ^'°" ' P°'"'' °"der the auTp ceso h^ '' ''''" ''""''^^ and the resides "f sl'lon "" f J'"^^"'^ summer hotel, :„ ^""°"' °"«of 'he finest fishing is rt had r '^"^ «P'tal point steamers nlv ' '"^ ^'■°'" 'h'^ BigBaypS £--/akeSimcoeto -cJtoLakeCoachSi° Jre's°°""'^ one of thp ,«-, » u ^" ake Simcoe s 'akes of Canada !,'"''"' ^"'^ ^-°ured pleasant a?dchio'^/°''°"^^^-'"^ a son's Point ,s'';? °" ''' chores Jack- --charmU3rrr:rTk?^ coe is not wanfm , ■ i. ^ake Sim- i- neighLuho 7wer e^act f r '' '°^ ^" tragedies of the Hu> on r '^^ '^'^^^^^^ -ere there spaef could s'"°'' ""'"• "^'«- of the loftiest heSr. """^'"'^ ^^eds ish cruelty In h '"' °' '''^ "^ost fiend- nation was saved frn '°'""'' °^ °"'^"o a onlybythelmlr ""^'" ^^termination ers."^ Had the S'r °' '''' "'"'^^ «'^ang" later the Huron Z '"'^^'^ ^^'^ ^eafs PearedasSerl^asS^hr" 'r '''^^■ Later on it becam. .1 '""""''"^"''ders. battles, in whthTheM' "'"' °' '^^^ «-«' beway tribe otetameT:?"' ^" ^^••'- ^-ethemoutof.h:ZmtrV"^^^"' Lake.ThVh°ty b?

Ten miles from Barrie, on the shores of Lake Simcoe and Kempenfeldt Bay. is Pen- .nsular Park -Big Bay Point -with its summer hotels. This is an excellent a"d popular resort; steamers ply regularly be- tween Barrie and this Point, making connec tion with the trains from and to Hamilton and Toronto. At the foot of Lake Couchi- ching, which is joined to Lake Simcoe by a channel known as the •• Narrows," is Orillia a favourite centre of summer travel, and a own which is fast rising in importance. The Indian nomenclature of Couchiching is es- pecially appropriate and descriptive; here the varying breezes, welcome adjuncts of a summer resort, that fan the surface of the lal:e have given the Indian name for " Lake of Many Winds."

This chain of lakeland the Maganetawan River are just equal distance between the Muskoka and Nipissing chain of waters, and dram a surface of about 4,000 square miles. A writer in Forest and Farm thus speaks of the Maganetawan :_" Now a word about the region. If a man can stand outdoor life, and live on venison, trout, bass, part- ridge, duck, pork, tea and crackers, there is no better place to go to in America that is as accessible. A man can go there in July. August, September, or October with comfort •f he will go in the right way, and shoot deer and catch trout to his heart's content. June to August for trout, after that, for deer. Remember the Maganetawan is as large as the Schuylkill at Philadelphia, or consider- ably wider and deeper than the Harlem at High Bridge, and that the trout has an unlimited range, and are seldom disturbed, so that they have a chance to grow. Deer can be bagged in great numbers if you choose to do so; with a couple of good hounds magnificent sport could be had in the fall. I have shot partridge with my rifle from the canoe while travelling, as they were strutting on the shore, and their "drumming" was one of the pleasantest, every-day sounds. Do not try to go with- out some guide. There are men who know the country, and they should be secured, for if you get in there alone, /ou will have little sport and much trouble. I have no possible interest in noticing this region except that I believe it to be unsurpassed in many ways." From Burk's Falls, a steamer of the Mus- koka Navigation Company may be taken. For fifteen miles the river is foHowe'l wind- ing to and fro, as all Muskoka rivers seem to do. After passing through the locks the steamer continues for three miles mora in the rivsr and then enters the lovely lake. Ah-Mic, this is another of the gems of Muskoka ' most quaint in form, its arms and elonga- 1 tion form a very maze of interlacings, %o their constant vistas of projecting heights, with glimpses of distant waters, and high ridges with closely. wooded forests of hard- wood trees, give soft rounded outlines to the distant scenery. In summer this combination of the rich greens of the maple, oak and birch, is most beautfful, but when in autumn the bright red tints show forth their resplendent col- ours, it is simply indescribable. At Callander, ro8 miles from Graven- hurst, the first glimpse is obtained of Lake Nipissing; and here the steamers touch for various parts of this interesting lake. This lake is about 45 miles in length, and its greatest breadth is 28 miles. Its waters are mostly from the north by the Sturgeon River, which connects it with a chain of smaller lakes; the only outlet is French River, by which the lake discharges into Georgian Bay This lake is named after an Indian tribe—known as the Nipissings— who lived in this district, and who were regarded by Cartier. and other French adventurers, as a peculiarly superstitious race. In short the whole of the Muskoka district may be deemed a very sportsman's paradise. Penetanguishene, one of the termini of the Northern and North.-Western Division of the Grand Trunk, is pleasantly situated on a land-locked bay at the foot of Georgian Bay. It is one of the historic spots of Canada. It was once the naval depot on the upper lakes of the British Navy, and under the waters of its harbour lie the re- mains of four gunboats. In the year 1634 the Jesuit Fathers settled in Ontario at Ihonatiria-now Penetang-in commemora- tion of which the Jesuits have built a very beautiful church, one of the grandest eccle- siastical structures in America. The chan- nels which dot the entrance to the harbour are excellent for pickerel, maskinonge and bass fishing. The steamer " Maxwell " runs daily, on arrival of trains from Toronto and Hamilton, between Penetang. Midland and Parry Sound ; and from ihence weekly to French River, and semi-weekly to Byng Inlet.

The line from Chicago to Kansas City bu.lt by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe r' K and called the Chicago. Santa Fe and California Railway, is a very r.markable piece of railway construction. The road is the shortest by many miles between Chicago and the Missouri River, and with its con- nections in Kansas City Union Depot forms a continuous line of steel rail from Chicago to California, to Colorado, to Texas, to New Mexico, Old Mexico and Arizona, all pass- ing through the fertile State of Kansas, and being under one controlling management It IS the greatest railway corporation in the world, operating nearly 8000 miles of road. The new road is almost an air line from Chicago .0 Kansas City, 89 per cent, of Its entire line being tangent. the most remarkable feature about this new road is the passenger train service betweenChicagoandkansas City The Pullman Vestibule trains have earned he name of being the handsomest trains in he world^ For all classes of passengers here are Pulman Vestibule Cars. In the Reclining Chair Cars there is a select lib rary for the entertainment of passengers The books can be obtained free from the coloured librarian in charge of the car. The Din.ngCar service is in a marked degree superior to anything of its kind in the country, and in fact the whole train is a revelation It is heated by steam and lighted by electricity, and at all times is accompanied by an expert electrician who looks after the lights and signals.

Not only are visitors to Detroit almost universaHy eloquent in praise of its beauty, but even its citizens seem to delight in con- tinuous paeans of the City of the Straits. Its riversidelocation, its miles of well shaded avenues, its perfectly paved streets, its level but raised site, and its many modern im- provements go to make up a melange of natural and artificial wealth, of civilized means of enjoyment, not to be surpassed by any city on the American Conti- nent. Detroit is with- in easy reach of Chicago, the rail- way communica- tion being first- class. The De- troit River is a stretch of water connecting Lake Erie with Lake St. Clair, and it is upon this noble stream that the City of Detroit is situated. It was founded by the French — was re- inforced by the Germans, and largely settled by English, Scandi- navian, and other European immi- grants. Each have carried out their own ideas as to building, with the result that there are specimens of al the best styles of houses m the old world as well as the more modern forms of archi- ecture.
