(bo not omit to visit the Saguenay, where you will enjoy the grandest scenery on this Continent. Tbe Burland-DesbaratB Lithographic Co., Montreal. (• As the season approaclies when pleasure-seekers and invalids endea- vor to escape from the parched and dusty streets of cities to seek the invigorating breath of tha sea breeze, they naturally ask the question, Where shall we go ? to which we would answer ; Go to that Paradise of Travellers, THE S^GUtlJrjiY. To reach the Saguenay, it is necessary first to reach Quebec, where, any day, except Sunday, the tourist can take a passage in one of the first-class boats named in the adjoining sheet. HOn* TO UEJiCB qUEBEC. Travellers from Southern and South- Western States, coming through New York, will, at that point, have a choice of routes. All roads connecting with the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada lead to Quebec. The Hudson River, Lakes George and Champlain to Rouse's Point, thence by rail to Montreal, is a pleasure route. But the short- est and most direct is that vid Passumpsic R.R., running through the Connecticut and Passumpsic River Valleys, in sight of the White Mountains, affording an opportunity of visiting NEWPORT and seeing the charming LAKE MEMPHREMAGOG, connecting at Sherbrooke with the Grand Trunk R.R., and thence to Quebec or Montreal in five hours. vp.oM nosTON AND VICINITY : — Either vid MONTREAL AND BOSTON Air Line, or C^ENTRAL VERMONT R.R. Both lines run two Express Trains daily from the Lowell R.R. Depot, through to Montreal, thence by steamers c f the Richelieu and Ont. Nav. Co., or Grand Trunk R.R., to Quebec. Or from Boston vid CONCORD, Well's River and Sherbrooke, continuing by Grand Trunk to Quebec. FROM POINTS EA.sT OF BOSTON : — The Grand Trunk Railway and connections. From the Western and North- Western States tourists can proceed from Chicago either by the Grand Trunk Railway direct to Montreal, or by the Lakes to Niagara Falls and Lewiston. Thence by the RICHELIEU AND ONTARIO NAVIGATION COMPANY'S Steam- ers to Hamilton, Toronto and Kingston (descending the Rapids of the St. Lawrence by daylight), and on to Montreal and Quebec, connect- ing with the Steamers of the ST. LAWRENCE STEAM NAVIGA- TION CO., at the last named city. •X .\ i .\^ \ ^>. THE ST. IjJiJTMlEJrCE. Whatever may be said of the other great Hvers of the world, all travellers agree, that for grandeur and majesty none can approach the St. Lawrence. Why, it is a world in itself! Including the Lakes which naturally belong to this river, it possesses a coast line of over six thousand miles ; the Cities, Towns and Villages upon whose borders are counted by hundreds, and the vessels of all classes navigating its waters by thousands. In contemplating the inland seas which feed it, the senses are bewildered at their immensity. In Niagara is exhibited the terrific and sublime to an extent not to be found elsewhere. The same water which leaps over the cataract, after reposing in Ontario's basin, glides past Kingston and through the " Thousand Islands," and once again becomes turbulent in ** The Rapids." In these, while dashing headlong forward, the imagination may make a faint attempt at estimating the strength and velocity of the current, as, shooting past an inland, or a village, the eye has just time to see it approaching ahead, and to catch a last view of it astern, revealing another feature of this noble river. Tlie Lakes, the Thousand Islands, and the Rapids being passed, the mind is allowed to contemplate the calm and the peaceful, as the placid waters flow past the many villages and towns between Montreal and Quebec, unbroken by rapid or other impediment. Grand and interesting though all those scenes may be, they are as nothing compared to what lies before the tourist going further down. And (to SEE the St. Lawrence, one must go below Quebec. The traveller bound for the Saguenay and the Lower St. Lawrence, will have many objects of interest to note ; among them, the first will be a view of Quebec and harbour from the promeni-de deck, just after leaving the wharf. The view which now greets the eye is not sur- passed anywhere. The harbour of Quebec has been likened to the celebrated Bay of Naples, and, by many, is said to surpass it in beauty. Surrounding this magnificent basin are : Cape Diamond with its Citadel and frowning Battlements : the City, with glistening domes and spires, circled and guarded by its Ramparts and bristling Batteries; to the South the undulating hills of Levis rise in terraces, crowned by a thriving town of that name, and stretching away for miles towards the borders of Maine ; to the North, the fertile plains of Beauport in the foreground dotted with villages, set in a frame-work of Mountains, piled, range upon range, until, lost in the distance, they mingle with the sky. On the same shore the unique FALLS OF MONTMORENCY charms the beholder. Across the harbour, lacing the falls, may be seen one of the Forts on the highest point in [hat direction ; between, lies the ISLE OF OMlIjEJiJrS. Hiis Island is about twenty miles long and froni half a mile to five jniles wide ; it rises to a considerable elevation ; at the end nearest Quebec, the high land is fully 350 feet above the water kvel. On it [re six Catholics Churches and one Protestant, the latter being for |he accommodation of visitors in summer. Ths total population of he Island is between 6,000 and 7,000. cap TOURJfiEJVT Is well seen as soon as the Isle of Orleans has been passed. It lies )n the North Shore, and rises to an altitude of about 2,000 feet. GROSSE ISL,E |s now in view, and claims a passing notice as being the Quarantine Station for Quebec, and the last resting place of many a poor Emigrant who, coming to this country to make a home, lies buried It "the Quarantine." In one grave lie buried 7,000 victims of the ['Ship Fever" of 1847. And almost as many were claimed by the ;)holera in 1849. Many islands are now passed remarkable chiefly for their fertility ^nd the great quantity of Game which flocks to them in the season. BJilE ST. P^VL,, the North, guarded by ISI.E jiux counnES Hazel Island), is remarkable for its rich iron mines. While the boat glides past these beautiful islands, some near Tf others miles away, they serve to assist the mind in realizing the ajestic proportions of the noble river St. Lawrence, which now seen in all its grandeur. But the grandest feature of all must ot be omitted. From Cape Tourmente to Murray Bay, a distance of over fifty iiiles, the left bank of the river presents one continuous Panorama f the WILDEST SCENERY on this continent— only surpassed by he Saguenay; in fact it may be compared to Switzerland and the hine combined, only that it is as much grander as the mighty St. Lawrence is greater than that romantic stream. Having feasted the senses for hours, jfiuRMtjiir B Air next claims attention. This is a favorite Summer resort ; a primi- tive settlement resting amongst hills and mountains, possessing good I sea-bathing, and atibrdiiig sport to the angler or riHeraan. Here also is a valuable Mineral Spring, wliose waters are highly reconnneiuled to invalids. It has five or six good hotels. What a contrast to the crowded Watering places of the FASHIONABLE WOK LI) ! Here one can enjoy Nature at her best, completely severed from the cares and turmoils of business. THE PILaHIJfl ISMj^JfDS, some ten miles below Murray Bay, consist of a remarkable group of rocks, which, from their height, are visible at a great distance. The islands, in Summer, scarcely ever jn'esent to the beholder the same shape for an hour at a time ; that beautiful phenomenon, **The Mika(»e," seeming constantly to dwelt about them. This may be due to refraction of the sun's rays, owing to the rocks being very sparsely covered with vegetation. Rir'IERE nU IjOUP is the next stopping place, and here connection is made with the iJVTERcoijOjri^i, naiLvr^ir^ Tourists to or from the Atlantic States or Provinces tnd Halifax or St. John, take or leave the boat here as the case may be. RIJ^IERE nU L,OUP is one of the Favorite Summer resorts, and whilst probably not as thronged as Cacouna, is frequented by many of the best families of both Montreal and Quebec. The site of the Town of Fraservilh^ (the name under which it is incorporated), is very beautiful ; on a level plateau, at a considerable elevation, it commands a most ex- tended view of the St. Lawrence, and the distant Laurentian Moun- tains. The Lover of Nature will enjoy the beautiful effect of a June or July sunset, as seen from here— ^when the sea-like river lies calmly at his feet, reflecting the distant azure mountains, just tip't with a golden glory. ** Cold must the heart be, and void of emotion," that would not melt under the influence of such a sight. There are two ver} fine waterfalls at Riviere du Loup. The upper one can only be seen from the point of a rock jutting over it, on which not more than two or three persons can venture at a time. The other, to be seen to advantage, should be viewed from the side of the river furthest from the village. The hotel accommodation is all that could be desired. LAROCHELLE'S is not surpassed for comfort and cleanliness anywhere. lies oil the bank of the St. Lawrence, about Hvc niilfs tVoiii Hivii'ie du Loup, and is the most popular of all the Canadian watering i»laces. Its houses are confortable, roads good, sidewalks broad and clean. ST. ijawREjrcm h^l,Ij, the largest hotel below Quebec, can accommodate upwards of 400 guests, and offers all the comforts of a first class hotel. Mu. .lAMKH CUElCHTON, long and favourably known in connection with the St. Louis Hotel, Quebec, is the present lessee and niannger. Cabs and Omnibusses are always on hand, on the arrival of the steamer, to convey passengers. ' ; Leaving Kiviere du Loup wharf, the boat now turns lu r prow due North and steams for THE FjiR'F^JftEU S^GVEJT^T*, the " Mecca " of all tourists. What sensations come crowding on the traveller as he feels that he is approaching that mysterious river ! A run of twenty miles brings the boat to T^DOUSaC, where the great river loses itself in the greater. This watering place has been selected by Lord Dutferin, Governor General of Canada, for a summer retreat, where he has erected a splendid residence. Here is situated one of the Government fish-breeding establish- ments, whence millions of young salmon are annually distributed to stock the various rivers of the Dominion. But the scenery of Tadousac, what words can do it justice ! Mountain, Flood and Forest combine to make up one harmonious whole, grand beyond description. THE T^DOUS^C HOTEL affords every accommodation to be found in a first-class hotel, and the wearied traveller may here rest amid all the comforts of a home. From this point to Chicoutimi, a distance of about 100 miles, and the turning point of the voyage, it may truthfully be said that not an inch of the way lacks in interest. At every turn of the boat — at every revolution of the paddles — some new attraction is discovered — here a placid bay, there a foaming cascade, tumbling over perpendi- cular rocks a quarter of a mile at a leap. The sombre waters beneath, a thousand feet deep, and the equally sombre mountains above — towering to the clouds — all have their fascination. It is impossible within the limits of this short description to even name the many attractions of the river, but C^PES ETERJITiTir and TKUTiTl' claim a word. Guarding the entrance to Eternity Hay, these two promontories rise on either hand, the one to the h(ugljt of 1,900 feet, and the other only a little less. And if the Sagiienay possessed no other points of attraction, no traveller would regret having come to see these alone. As H^r H^r BajT is reached and the boat glides across its land-locked waters, on^ thinks of Boating, Swimming, Fishing and a dozen inviting pass times which here might be indulged in, if time but permitted. But after a delay of a few hours, we go on and ascend the Saguenay farther still — as far as CHMCOUTIJfil. Here Water-Falls, Lumber Mills, Trout and Salmon fishing are the attractions. We have reached the end of our voyage, kowever, and have to commence the return. We go over again all the glorious scenes which we had before enjoyed, and endeavour to stamp them on the memory, to be called up at some future time, as we would the I ikeness of a valued friend. QUEBEC. The traveller, whose time will permit him, ought, on his return from the Saguenay, to take a lest at Quebec, Avhere any time which he may have to spare can be profitably spent in seeing the many objects of interest which abound in and around the city. The Churches, Picture Galleries, University with its magnificent Library, the Citadel, the Timber Coves (where millions of dollars worth of timber are stored), the Plains of Abraham, the old French Walls crumbling to decay. Mount Hermon Cemetery, and Spencer Wood. Within a radius of ten miles from the city are found Lakes BEAUPORT, ST. CHARLES, and CALVAIRE ; and the following Water-Falls : MONTMORENCY with its Natural Steps, LORETTE, CHAUDIERE and LA PUCE. About ten miles from Montmorency (on the same road) are the beautiful FALLS of ST. ANN'S. These are all favourite resorts, and the drives to them can hardly be surpassed in beauty, while they are replete with interest for the student and the tourist. UOTEIjS. The St. Louis and Russell House, both kept by Messrs. Russell, are the principal ones ; the Albion, Henchey's and Blanchard's are likewise good and popular houses.
