L'HABITATION DU PORT ROYAL was the first permanent French settlement in Canada, then Acadia, and thus the first Canadian home. Founded in 1605, three years before Quebec and two years before the first English settlement at Jamestown, it is, with the exception of St. Augustine and Santa F^, the oldest place on the continent. Hert,, for a time, lived De Monts, its founder, and here Champlain, filled with hopes of making new discoveries towards Florida, spent a winter, and, to pass the time, instituted his famous OrtA-e de Bon Temps. Hither, in the "Grace-a-Dieu," with a courage worthy of all honor, came Madame de Poutrincourt, one of the first women to seek a home in the New World. The portrait said to be that of Pierre du Guast, Sieur de Monts^ is perhaps not authentic, but it at least represents a gentleman of that period. The French shield y/as found at Quebec after the Conquest. There is an account of it in Sir James Le Moine's charming book, '' Quebec, Past and Present." FEBI^Upi^Y. These figures represent soldiers of different epochs of our history. Those from Gottfried's "Neue Welt" recall the period of Sir Francis Drake. Many writers are fond of calling Drake "freebooter," "half-pirate," and "buccaneer." But he should be remembered as the foremost of that daring band of navigators who first disputed with Spain the sovereignty of the sea, and struck blows which weakened the empire she was building up in the Western World, even before her power was irrevocably broken by the defeat of the " Invincible Armada." THE DE LERY CREST. M. Joseph Gaspard Chaussegros, Sieur de Lery, a cele- brated engineer, whose gallantry at the siege of Turin attracted the King's notice. Sent to New France, he planned and built up the fortifications at Quebec and elsewhere, and was the founder of a distinguished family. M^I^CH. BIENVILLE, the Founder of New Orleans, was one of the celebrated Le Moyne family. He helped his brother D'Iberville, the " Nelson of the North," in his great work of founding a new Empire for France, to the south, .whose name, Louisiana, should ever perpetuate that of the "Sun King," Louis XIV. FORT QARRY is the most historic spot in the great Western Provinces. The walls, with the modest towers flanking them, have disappeared ; the gateway alone remains, and that is threatened, as are the walls of Quebec. These memoriaLi belong not alone to Winnipeg, or to Quebec ; they are our common heritage, and let every Canadian rise in his place and say that they shall be spared, to be, as in the past, a witness to the bravery and the heroism of the two great races that have united in tbe making of Canada.

He commanded a battalion at the siege of Louisbourg, and was Brigadier-General under Wolfe at Quebec, where he was wounded. In 1761 he was appointed Governor of New York. The " Peace Anchor" in 18 14 was being transported to the Upper Lakes. Peace being declared it was abandoned, and remains still embedded in the sand near Holland Landing. MJIY. LE DBAPBAU DB OARILLON, the consecrated banner borne by Montcalm's army, when with greatly inferior force he defeated Abercromby at Ticonderoga (Carillon), July 8th, 1758. It was of this flag Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke at Paris, as "The flag of the Old Monarcliy which his countrymen preserved as the apple of their eyes, beloved by the French and respected by the English." The flag was lost for a time after the burning of the RecoUet Church. Later it was discovered by M. de Baillairgtf, and is now in Laval University. It is held sacred, and is unrolled once a year, at the Feast of St. John — the 24th of June. It is a matter of great regret that we were unable to procure a sketch of the right side of this famous banner. The present illustration is taken from a photograph of the reverse. Below are two swords, sheathed ; the one presented by Sir Augustus D'Est6, son of the Duke of Sussex, to Colonel James FitzGibbon, as to one whose "services will cause his name to be remembered with respect and admiration by the loyal inhabitants of Upper Canada" ; the other, that of Major-General Sir Fenwick Williams, of Kars, was presented by the Legislature of Nova Scotia to her distinguished son. aUNE. In this month an English ship first touched our shores, and the beautiful Map of the World illuminated by Juan de la Cosa, is the earliest extant which shows the discoveries of John Cabot. The original of Cosa's map is in Madrid, but there anfac-simiU copies in the British Museum. Of its beauty too much cannot be said. It is worthy to be called "The Geographical Frontispiece of the History of the Discovery of America." The map bears the inscription in Spanish, "Juan de la Cosa made it, in the port of Santa Maria (S : mj) in the year 1500." Above is an illustration of St. Christopher bearing the Christ-child across the water. Ferdinand Columbus gives us the same idea that the old map-maker sought to convey by this picture. Speaking of his father's name he says : "As St. Christopher is reported to have received that name because he carried Christ over the deep waters with great danger to himself, whence came the name of Christopher, and as he conveyed over the people whom no other could have carried, so Admiral Christophorus Colonus, imploring the assistance of Christ in that dangerous voyage, went over safely himself and his company, that those Indian nations might become citizens and inhabitants of the Church triumphant in heaven." In the tiny portion of the map here reproduced, the land explored by Cabot is outlined from the cava discubierta (cape of discovery) to the Cape of England {cava de Inglaterrdy, auiiY. SIB WILLIAM JOHNSON, whose stone house in the Mohawk valley was the centre of influence over the Six Nation Indians, no step being taken by the British Government without consulting him, nor by the Indians without his advice. He took Fort Niagara, July 25th, 1759. Dying in 1774, a critical period in our history, his last message to the Chiefs was "to take care and not be shaken out of their shoes."

The fint Parliament of Upper Canada met at Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake). Governor Simcoe, believing Toronto, which he named York, to be a better place for the seat of Government, erected these buildings, where Parliament sat from 1797 until they were burned by an invading force from the United States in 181 3. A CHIBF JUSTIOB OF THE BUPRBMB COURT. The Supreme Court of Canada was organiied in 1875, and sits at Ottawa, the Federal Capital of the Dominion. ftKPTKMBEI^. WOLFB and MONTOALH, heroes who in name and fame are inseparably connected. In the final struggle for Canada, Montcalm, the brilliant and experienced general, fretting in vain against the abuses that surrounded him, was pitted against Wolfe, " the gallant invalid," the aspiring young soldier, who knew that the time was short in which to accomplish his aim, and win the " walled city of the North." On the 13th of September, Wolfe, dying, won imperishable fame ; for Montcalm, " Le destin en lui d^robant la victoire, I'a rtfcompensA par une mort glorieuse." PITT, EIARL OF CHATHAM, that great sutesman of the Empire, whose wisdom was, unfortunately, too often rejected, was the power behind Wolfe; while behind Montcalm was — La Pompadour. 0, which he ings, where itet in 1813. ne Court of connected, ing in vain the aspiring he " walled Le dettin en OM wisdom Montcalm s Rebellion at Batoche. lat religious :he erection it believing Kent and y.
