Syphons, 3004. « UWISTOK. EAL. Q'lTOULD the tourist decide to go to Q]) Toronto by steamers "Cibola" or "Chicora," this town is his starting point. It is a place of considerable importance beautifully situated at the head of Naviga- tion on the lower Niagara, seven miles from the Falls. In 1 813 it was destroyed by the British, and rebuilt after the termination of the war. Once on board, the steamer p.isses along Niagara River for about seven miles, the current still running very rapidly, until it finds its way into Lake Ontario. Situated nearly opposite Lewiston is QUe€:KSrOK. This village is associated in history with the gallant defence made by the British on the adjacent heights in the war of 18 12. Brock's Monument stands on these heights. It was raised in commemoration of the British General, Sir Isaac Brock, who fell in the sanguinary action above men- tioned. The present handsome shaft was erected in 1853. Its entire height is 185 feet ; the base is 40 feet square by 30 feet high ; the shaft is of free stone fluted, 75 feet high, and 30 feet in circumference, surmounted by a Corinthian capital, on which stands a statue of the gallant General, The next stopping place is WIAGAI^A, one of the oldest towns in Ontario, and was formerly the capital of the Province. The Wclland ship-canal, which has given such commercial advantages to Canada, diverted the trade of the Niagara peninsula into new channels. The town of St. Catharines, near the entrance of the canal from Lake Ontario, suddenly sprang into being, and became the business centre of the district, throwing Niagara town into a cold shade, from which it has not yet been able to emerge. Lately, however, it has shown signs of renewed activity; it has a ship-yard, an iron foundry, and two or three 14 hrge hotels always fi,ll in ,,„„„„er. Steamboats run between It and Toronto tw.ee aday; and its healthful and beautiful .,itu .„, the pc tures,ue scenery in i,,, neighborhood, and its attraction., for the lovers o boatmg fisinn, and wild-fowl shooting, make it a popular holiday resort and a delijrhtful summer residence. ^ Almost immediately after leavinp- Nhmro fi,«* • i. .he two forts, Niagara and Ma,s."sr^,"' '°''"'' P""" '='«"' b-,„l!' 7,1 '■" ''T f'';'*^"" "'"' ""= ^-"■■'''"''' "-'"■■'I rridcaux fell in the battle of the 24th In v 1760 t.,,i fi, i,- 1 • dered to Sir VV I ^^'9. and the Trench garrison afterward.s si.rren- dercd to S.r VVnu Johnson.

It keenly competes with Montreal for the manufactiirinjf and importing businessof Ontario, and is constantly adding to its railroail facilities and architectural embellishments. Its streets are broad and well laid out, and the city generally is built of light-colored brick, of a soft, pleasing tint. Its buildings are very sub- stantial, and many of them beautiful. There are over fifty churches and abo- t fifteen banks, and many of them are strikingly grand. Its fine harbor affortls great facilities fur ex- tensive traffic, and various lines of lake and river steamers run daily to all ports Kast and West. Five lines of Railway connect the city with all places of importance. Among the places of interest are : — The Queen's Park, the College Avenue, University Buildings, Trinity College, the Normal and Model Schools, Osgoode Hall, Upper Canada College, St. James Cathedral, St, Michael's Cathedral, Knox Church, ^Metropolitan Church, Provincial Lunatic Asylum, Horticultural Gardens, Lieut-Governor's residence, etc The hotels are : — The QUKEX's on Front St., a very comfortable and well-establisheil house. RossiN House, King and York Streets.— What the Finn Avknue Hotel is to New York, and the Windsor to Montreal, so the Rossin House is to Toronto. The wealth and importance ot the second city in Canada, coupled with the enormous tourist travel that has always centered here, early spurred on our capitalists to the erection of such a mammoth hotel as is the RossiN. A splendid structure internally, and externally one of the greatest architectural achievements the city had at the time it was erected, and still one of the most substantial blocks in the city. It was designed and built with special regard to the convenience and com- fort of its patronc . The Aki.LNGTON, cornfM- King and John streets, a new hotel, is first- class in every respect. It is the headquarters of our leading politicians and moneyed men while sojourning in the Queen City with their families. The house is furnished elegantly throughout, and comprises all the mod- ern conveniences. Mr. E. M. Mathews, late of IMontreal, is the proprietor, and is constantly looking after the welfare of his guests. Having viewed Toronto, the tourist now arranges for the continua- tion of his tour Eastward by the superior boats of the Richelieu & On- tario Navigation Co. (Royal Mail Line), which leaves their wharf daily Sundays excepted) for Montreal at 2 o'clock P.M. 16 m i/F-ifirst place the stea leaving Toronto is niei stops at after tants. -I'icl. has an extensive flour and fr,ai„ trade and other products from the interior.

The proximity of the river or some of its tributaries to every Canadian town makes direct importation a growing plant among the best class of country traders Kingston occupies the site of the old Trench l-'ort I'rontenac. As a place of defence it stands next in strength to Quebec. The batteries of Fort Henry are calculated for the reception of numerou . can- non and mortars of the largest calibre. These, together with neighboring martello-towers, form a foiinitl.d)le ami etTicirtit defence against any aggressive movement wliieli might be directed ag. mst the cit)-. The Royal Military College is situated here. Kingston possesses two colleges, ami lias se ural handsome public buildings, such as the Couit House, Custom 11< >e. City Hall, Ikinks, I'l'St OHice, etc. The population is about 20,000. Adjacent to the city is Portsmmuth, \\here are K)cated the I'rivincial Penitentiary and Rockwooil Lunatic A:- lum. Opi)osite Kingston are Wolf and Garden Islands, between which an : the city lies the bay, a beautiful slieet of wat-r. On the other side of the Islands is APC VIKCCKT, K.y. '''-^^'' It is the terminus of the brand of R., W. & O. RT^, leading from Watertown. A great deal of throug -travel reaches the St. Lawrence via this point. Speedy communication with all jioints down the river is maintained by the Steamer " St. Lawr. ace," which is one of the handsomest c^nd swiftest boats in passenger se rvice upon the river. First-class meals are served en route. The boat connects with all trains, making two round trips daily between Cape Vincent and Alexan- dria Ba}-, touching at all points. 18 19 pj|;5 THE number of anglers who prefer remaining at Cape Vincent during their hohdays is large, the fishing in the vicinity being very good. The Sf, Lazi'raicc, a large and costly Hotel, has a commanding 23osition, and from its balconies can be seen avast panorama of land and water scenery. The Hotel is in connection with the old estab- lished and beautiful Rathburn House. It is one of the finest and best furnished hotels on the river. It will ac- commodate three hundred guests, and is adapted to satisfy those who are accustomed to luxurious homes. To those intending a sojourn on the river their vacation should commence at the St. Lawrence Hotel, Cape Vincent, from which place they can journey at their convenience down the St. Law- rence. It has been the desire and the aim of the proprietor to so conduct the house, that the most refined people might find a congenial home. It is conceded hy all sportsmen to have the best black bass fishing grounds in the world. FAiHv LVN-D-Oiio of tlio Ifloo Islands. I that f.om Kingston down the river.

The por- f'- /^ti*' tion of the island included in the park grounds „ wUl^ ^ consists of five hundred acres of ground, in formation an irregular neck of upland, rising to a mean elevation above the water of about forty feet, with rounded heights lifted to ex- tremes of one hundred and fifty feet. From these summits, which are reached by easy slopes, cither in carriages or on foot, the whole group of the Thousand Islands, extending along the river for a distance of twenty miles, are brought into full view. The Park is controlled by the Westminster Park Association, a body composed of a number of prominent gentlemen of the Presbyterian denomination. Nothing of the camp meeting enters into this association ; liowever, a large portion of the park has been subdivided into building lots, which were quickly purchased by people from different sections of the country, and tasteful cottages erected thereon, making delightful summer homes for their occupants. The Association being formed under the auspices of the Presbyterian church. Sabbath ser- vices are held every Sunday during the season.

M. hiladelphia, Pa. pi^escoTT, named after General I'rescott, a town of about 4,000 inliabit- ants opposite the city of Ogdensburg. It is one of the finest towns on the St. Lawrence, and is the terminus of the Prescott & Ottawa Raihvay. Some of the chief attractions are Fort Wellington and Wind Mill battle ground and the Tomb of Barbara Heck of Methodist fame. While sojourning in Prescott the trav^eller will find '' Daniels The vv,„dmiii. Hotcl" onc of thc most homelike and most plea.sant places to be found along the valley of the St. Lawrence. About a mile below the town the steamer passes a point of land on which stands a white-washed stone tower, pierced by narrow loop- holes, and now used as a light-house. This is the historic "Windmill" which, in November, 1837, figured as the stronghold of the " Patriots," under the^ command of a Polish adventurer, called Von Schultz. They held the mill for several days against the British forces, under Col. Dundas, but were at last routed and compelled to surrender at discretion. During the action the opposite shore was lined with spectators, who cheered whenever the insurgents appeared to have the advantage. Poor Von Schultz, with nine others of the hundred and ten prisoners, was hanged at Fort Henry after a court-martial, a victim to the political treachery of those who had led him to undertake the mad enterprise and then abandoned hun to his fate. 40 I About five miles below this is Chimney Island, on which tlie remains of an old French fortification are to be seen. At this island the first rapid on the river is met, viz. : — CAUOP I^APIO. |T is not so extensive as the succeeding rapids or half so exciting, but it prepares thia traveller from its less turbulent waters to pass the increasing swiftness of those following. The river quickly narrows now until at one point it is only 500 feet wide. Seven miles below on the American side is Waddington. Just as we come in sight of Morrisburg, 'th its many slender spires rising above the embosoming woods, the river, sweeping around the curve, discloses beau- tiful wooded islands marked with white birchen stems, around which the crested waves of the IlAPIOe OU PUT. are seen, swirling in deep-green eddies beneath the luxuriant foliage that overhangs the stream. Passing a number of little scattered villages, a picturesque point called Woodlands catches the eye. Ere long, the increasing rapidity of the current and the bolder shore give token that we are Hearing the grand rapid of the LOKG SAULT. Anon we see the white coursers in the distance, tossing aloft their snowy manes, and feel the strong grip of the current. A densely-wooded island divides the foaming waters. We rush at headlong speed down the channel, great crystal masses of emerald water leap to meet us, catch us on their breasts, and carry us on with a swift undulatory motion like that of a race-horse, while a shower of foamy spray dashes over the vessel. The green-crested waves seem to be rushing in the opposite direction to the current, an effect caused by the retreating eddies it creates in ¥ 41 !hiinney French and the g rapids arcs the vaters to 500 feet 1st as we bove the scs beau- ifhich the iage that ue point ipidity of :he grand sir snowy led island lown the , catch us I like that ; vessel, direction :reates in , dashing over the hidden ^^j^ rock below. But our great sea-horse carries us on, till, all too soon, the foam- ing crests are left behind, and we glide into smooth water, and pass the steep sides of the island in- habited by a little colony of St. Regis Indians, who look very prosaic in their ordinary civilized attire. The tourist will observe from the deck of the steamer the old church lifting its tin roof above its neighboring houses. The bell hanging in this church is associated with a deed of genuine Indian revenge. On its way from France it was captured by an En-lish cruiser, and taken into Salem, Massachusetts, where it was sold to the church at Deerfield, in the same State. The Indians hearing of the destination of their beil set out for Deerfield, attacked the town, killed forty-seven of the inhabitants, and took one hundred and twelve captives, " among whom were the pastor and his family." The bell was then taken down and conveyed to St. Regis, where it now hancs. At the eastern entrance end of the Cornwall Canal, which all craft must use on the ascending journey, since none could hope to steam the Long Sault, stands the town of Cornwall, which, in recent years, has developed into a n-anufacturing centre,— its enormous blanket-factory and cotton-mill being the conspicuous features of the place. Near it runs the " Province Line," and we pass out of Eastern Ontario into Quebec. Kear the same point, also, the boundary line, which divides Canada from the United States, recedes from the St. Lawrence, and the course of the River is here- after in Her Majesty's Dominion. Both sides of the river, gradually opening into the wide expansion of Lake St. Francis, are prettily diversified with woods and farms, while bosky islands at intervals afford a welcome retreat for campers,— while tents and light summer residences gleam pleasantly under the trees by the river-side. On the left bank we pass the little town of Lancaster. On the right shore are Dundee. Fort Covington and Salmon River. 42 The chief ^loiy of the sail clown Lake St. Francis is the distant mountain r.mtjc, blue against the hori;'.un. filling up the lack which the eye has vaguely felt in the flat, unbroken horizon which bounds the greater part of Ontario. It is the Chatcauguay range,— a spur of the Adirondack, — sometimes drawin^j nearer, sometimes receding into cloud-lilcc indistinctness. At the lower end of the lake, we draw up by the long wooden pier of coreAU ou lac, whose straggling row of little French houses, looking still smaller in contrast, with the great stone church and gleaming spire, gives evidence that we are now in French Canada. A charming picture does this old Coteau make as seen at sunset on the return trip,-when Lake St. iM-ancis, still as a mirror r-flects the rich crimsons and purples of the descending sun, whde the old brown timber of the pier, and the equally old and brown French Canadian houses, with the rather Dutch-looking boats moored to the pier, " com- pose '• a picture to which only a master could do full justice. Onk of t HE R. & O NAVIOA.TI0N CO.'S STEAMFRS OX THE SAOCKNAY RoUTB. 4.1 OTNG on cur way again, on the south short; oppo- site to tlic Cotcau we see the distant town of Valleyfield, with its huge cotton mill, at the upper end of the ]5eauharnois Canal. The shore now grows bolder, and we see anu f A the quickening current of COTCAU RAPIDS. A very fine rapid about two miles in length, in some portions of which the current is very swift. At this point is seen the new bridge of the Canada Atlantic Railway. Seven miles lower down we sweep past a richly-wooded island, the foliage almost dripping in the tossing waters, fly past a sharp curve, and are in the midst of the ceoAR HAPios. At first sight this rapid has the appearance of the ordinary rapids, but once the steamer has entered it the turbulent waters and pitching about renders the passage very exciting. There is also a peculiar motion of the vessel, whicli secm.s like settling down, as she glides from one ledge to another. A short distance below this we enter the SPUT ROCKHAPIDS, So called from ils enormous boulders at the entrance, A person un- acquainted with the navigation of these rapids will almost involuntarily hold his breath until this ledge, which is distinctly seen from the deck of the steamer, is passed. At one time the vessel seems to be running directly upon it, and you almost feel certain that she will strike, but a skillful hand is at the helm, and in an instant more it is passed in safety. We now come to the last of this scries of rapids, called the 44 % I ^1 1-^ ^\x\\W m a I g H O O n t i u H H o o H 4:. CASCAOe RAPIDS. This is a very (ine rapid. It is remarkable oil account of its numerous white crests foaminjj on top of tlie tiarkish waters, thioui;h which the vessel passes ; and as tlie shortness cf the waves has the effect of pitchin^f the steaimr as if at sea, |\tS> the sensation is very enjoyable. Soon we find ** ourselves out upon LAKe ST. LOUIS, while far to our left is the famous St. Anne of the Boat-Sont^s where the great brown stream of the Ottawa conies out from its dark hills, mingling, not blending, with the blue St. Lawrence, and sending a portion of its stream round the Northern side of the triangular island of Montreal, wImcIi we are approaching. On the South shore, on a high mound, stands, cross for mariners to look to in time of peril, a mute witness of human need and aspiration. Calm and shadowy the mountain range lies behind undulating masses of wood, lighted up by the slantisig rays of the afternoon sun, or deepened in tint by the shadow*' -assiiig cloud. Far ahead looms a blue shadowy mass, the "mountain ' of Montreal. Hy and by, other cloudy blue hills rise on the horizon, Heloeil, St. John, and the sugar-loaf of Mount Shefford. UCHIKC Is now reached. It is nine miles 1 10111 Montreal, with which it is con- nected by railroad. It derives its name from the first settlers, who, when they reached this point, thought they had discovered the passage which would lead them to China. On the opposite side stands CAUGHKAWAGA, an Indian village. Its name is said to have been given by the Jesuits, Caughnawaga signifying "praying Indian." The name was aptly be- stowed, for the Indians are ardently attached to the Roman Catholic faith, and every June, in their native paint and adornments, join in celebrating the procession oi Fetc-Dicti. In this village the famous Indian game of Lacrosse is played to perfection, and liere were selected the red men who formed the original part of the " team " which in 1876 played most ac- cept.ibly before Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Strange to say, the Indians have only taught the whites Lacrosse to be beaten " at their own game." Not only in the practical arts of life, but even in the pastimes pccuharly their own, the red men are distanced by the pale fares. 40 h < DAVIES BREWING CO, TORONTO, Brew the celebrated CRYSTAL ALE, CREAM ALE, NOURISHING PORTER, MILWAUKEE LAGER, Favorite Ales of Canada.

But we speedily forget the perils as we pass the beauti- ful wooded shore of Nun's Island, with its shady green pas- tures, and come up- on the royal-looking city. On the op- posite shore, behind the villages of La- prairie and Lon- gueuil, rise the iso- lated mountains of Montarville, Rouge- niont, Shefford, and the nearer Belceil. As we near Victoria Bridce it seems im- dl. possible that the steamer can pass under, and the question is sometimes asked whether tlicre is any arrangement for lowering the funnels. The steamer glides along; we look up and see our mistake, and then look down upon the innocent questioner. The river itself is so fascinating in its strength of crystal purity, so overpowering in vastness and might, that it would dwarf an ordinary city. It does dwarf every other place along its banks -Quebec alone excepted. It bears, lightly as a garland, the chain of the great bridge that binds its opposite shores with multiplied links of massive granite.

It is situated at the foot of the mountain (Mount Royal) on tlie lar^rc block, bounded by Peel, Dorchester, Stanley, and Cypre.vs Streets, facin<,r Dominion Square, a park consisting of the two largest blocks of ground in the city. In point of luxurious surroundings, magnificence of decoration and fittings and attendance, the Windsor Hotel is acknowledged by the travel- ling public of i)otii hemispheres to be the < qual of any hotel in existence. This hotel is under the management of the popular and well-known hotel man, Mr. George W. Swett. The Balmoral is situated on \otre Dame Street neir McGill, is centrally located and has accommodation for over 300. The Waverley House, of which \Vm. Bogie is the proprietor, has been recently renovated throughout, and it commends itself for its central situation, being quite liandy to all places of amusement and interest in the city. Turkish Bath Institute.— The Turkish B ith Institute his become one of the best known public institutions in Montreal. No baths on the continent are better fitted for the administration of the Turkish or hot air bath, and all forms of hot and cold water bathing in the most efficient and enjoyable manner. In 1889 an Artesian Wed, 1550 fr. deep, was added to the attractions of the establishment. The immen.se swimming bath of the Institute wiU hereafter be supplied with this valuable medicinal water. _ A prominent feature of the Montreal Turkish Bith is the accommo- dation for travellers. About one hundred rooms are devoted to this pur- pose. The Sanitarium department is in charge of D. B. A. Macbean, M.D The business man.igement is in the hands of Mr. F. E.

One of the oldest cities in America, and also one of the chief cities of British North Amer- ica, was foiiiuled in i6oS. The form of the city is nearly triangle, the Plains of Abraham form- ing the base, and the Rivers St. Lawrence and St. Charles the sides. This city is divided into two parts, known as the upper and lower town. The upper town is strongly fortified, and includes within its limits the citadel of Cape Diamond, which covers the entire summit of the promontory, and embr.ices an area of more than 40 acres. St. John and St. Loui.s suburbs are also included in the ipper town. The Citadel occupies a commanding site, 345 feet above the river, and is the strongest fortress in America. Quebec is pre-eminently the , ■. ..nghold of Canada, and is called the " Key of the Province." The Citadel, from its great elevation, affords a fine view of the river and surrounding country.

The principal communication with the upper town is by the Champlain steps and the winding Cote de la Montagne.

TH E R E are ^ many objects of interest to j note in making this excursion. In leaving Quebec there is a fine view of the city and har I bor from the pro- Inienade deck of ■p.. J . , the steanier. Cape Diamond, with ,ts citadel and battlements, the city surrounding same on all sides, with Its domes and spires, the ramparts and batteries crowning this thriving town, the fertile fields of Beauport in the foreground, lend an enchantment to the sight not to be surpassed. Looking across on the south side opposite Quebec, there stands the growi.ig town of Levis Turning to the North again, the " Montmorency Falls " charm the beholder as the steamer swiftly glides past. _ We have now reached the Island of Orleans, which Jacques Cartier in 1535 chnstenedthe "Isle of Bacchus," so called from the luxuriant growth of Its wild grape-vines. It is situated nine miles below Quebec; IS twenty miles in length, and six in its greatest width. There are several vdlagcs scattered over its surface ; its soil is very fertile, and ri.es to a con- siderable elevation at its western extremity, the high land bei.g fully 50 feet above the water level. ;Glancing to the right, one sees on theshoreoftheriver parish churches having spires of tin which glitter in the sun like shining silver. These and the white-washed farm-houses form two objects characteristic of Lower Canada As soon as the Isle of Orleans is passed, Cape Tourment of the Laval Mountains is well seen. It rises to an altitude of 2000 feet ; on the highest elevation a cross was erected in 1 616. which was replaced by a small chapel in 1870. At this point the Laurentian Mountains begin. In a short time we have passed Gnosse iste. noticeable as being the quarantine station for Quebec. Many islands are now passed of remarkable scenic beauty and very fertile, and are renowned 84 for the quantity of game of all sorts which flock to them in season. At this point the river widens considerably, and ere long has reached such a width as to render its shores almost invisible from the deck of the steamer. Passing onward we view BAie ST. PAUt. It is just a great cleft in the rocks, through which a •torrent fed by cascades from the surrounding mountains pours an im- petuous stream. The bay is flanked on the east by the lofty Cap aux Cor- beaux, named from the BAir S-. tmi.* hoarse croaking of the ravens that inhabit its w^od-crowned crest and inaccessible shelves. Their cries, carried far out on the river by the coming squall, have always been of ill omen to the sailors. Tlie old luxbitants are more than half inclined to think this gloomy cape, constantly enshrouded by clouds, the abode of demons. There is, too, at Bale St. Paul a portion of the finger of Sainte An .. a relic which makes the church a place of renown. A number of earth- quakes have taken place in this vicinity, in i860, a very severe one occurred, and it is said that in i,'-9l peaks north of Bale St. Paul were in active eni[)'ion. We now sec ISU AUK COUD;i€:S noted for its rich mineral mines, and so named from the hazel trees Car- tier found there ; it is one of the oldest French settlements, and in itself would furnish material for an article. It was here that, in 1759, Admiral, Durell's squadron waited for the rest amped for two months on the island ses of the hills behind Pale St. Paul. All along the route the river presents one continuous panorama of the wildest scenery, only second to the noble Saguenay River. From Les Eboulements downwards, the majestic wall of mountains continues unbroken, until we reach the deep recess of i, This is a lavc-rite summer resort ; a prim- itive settlement, resting among hills and mountains, possessing good sea bathing, and affording sport to the angler able mineral sprin r, whose waters are highly recommended to invalids. It has fi ve or six good hotels. 86 Some miles below Murray Bay, are seen. The\' con- sist of a remaikable group of rocks, which from their height are visible '^ ^^^W^ at a great distaiice, the " mir- age " .'•eeming constantly to dwell about them, due to refraction of the sun's rays, owing to the rocks being sparsely covered with vegetation. Steaming across the river, is reached. It is one of the favorite summer resorts' ai-i whiUt p-obi bly not as thronged as some, is fre quented by many of the best families of both Montreal and Quebec. The site of the town of Fraserville (the name under which it is incorporated) is very beiutiful ; on a level plateau at considerable elevation it commands a most extended view of the St. Lawrence and the distant Laurentian Mountains. 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, eflecting the distant azure mountains just tipped with golden glory. Connection is made here with the Intercolonial Railway. Tourists to or from the Atlantic States or Provinces, via Halifax or St. John, take leave of us here. Those desirous of visiting the far-famed watering place of CACOUKA can, after an exceedingly pleasant drive of about six miles, bordering the sea-shore, find themselves in a fashionable resort containing numerous private seaside cottages. Cacodna richly merits the title of " llic Queen of the Canadian Watering Places" for a long time past accorded her by universal usage. Canadian railway magnates and the princes of finance and commerce e.ir-old chapel of the Jesuit-s, whicii stands at the foot of its l.iwii still preserved in all the sim- plicity of its time.

There is an indescribable gran- deur ' in the very monotony of the interminable suc- cession of precipice and gorge, of lofty bluff and deep- hewn bay ; no mere monotony of out- line, for every bend of the river changes the pictures in the majestic panorama of liills, water and •sky, and every rock has its individuality; but the overwiiehn- ing reiteration of the same grand theme with infinite variety of detail, till the senses are over- powered by the evi- dences of mighty force — force, which you know, as surely as you see those grim masses of sye- nite, split and rent by upheaval, seamed and scarred by icebergs, was once suddenly irresistibly active, but ha s now i 93 ike that low towers two thou- ;et above 'here is an table graii- the very y of tlie ;ble siic- f precipice ;c, of lofty lid dcc'p- ; no mere ' of out- very bend er changes cs in the panorama ivater and z\Giy rock ividuah'ty; /erwhehn- •ation of 2 grand h infinite detail, till are over- y the evi- niighty :e, which as surely c-e those 2s of sye- and rent 1, seamed has now lain dormant Tor ages and ages. There h tiic fn- evitablcstcrnms.sof the manifestation of great power, and this effect is hciglitcned by the trans- jjarcncy of th<; atmosphere, which allows no softening of the clear-cut lines, and lieightens their bold sweej) hy intense shadows sliarply defined. There is no rich foliage : forest fires ||,r have swept and blackened the hill tops; a J\\ scanty growth of sombre firs and slender TJ fct ^'■■'-"'''■"s replace the lordly pines that once ^/•^^/ crowned the heights, and strui^gi^ for a foot- liold along tlie sides of tlie ravines and on tlu- ledges of the cliffs, where the naked rock shows tlirougli the tops of trees. The rare si-iis of life only accentuate the lonely stillness, A icw log-liouses on an op- portune ledge that overhangs a niche like cove, a shoal of white por- poises gambolling in the current, a seagull circling overhead, a white .sail in the distance, and a wary loon, whose mocking call echoes from the rocks, — what are they in the face of these hills which were made when " the springs of waters were seen and the foundations of the round world were discovered." Some writers describe the Sagucnayas cold, dreary, inhuman, gloomy. Surely they never saw it with the light of the rising sun streaming through its gorges, glatldening its vast solitudes, dancing on the ripple of the current, gleaming over the broad, calm bays, playing on the waterfalls that shine like silver threads among the dark-green firs, searching out the inmost recesses of the giant clefts, throwing warmth and color into grey syenite and sombre gneiss. Did they trace the reficction to Cai)e ICternity down through unfathomable depths, and then with bewildered eye follow the unbroken sweep of that calm profile upwards and upwards, till sight was led on past the clouds into the infinite.? \hxd the triune majesty of Cape Trinity, stern, solemn, and' mysterious, no other impression for them than one of gloom.? Did these mountain walls not seem to them like lofty portals, guiding straight into the opal glory that lights the western sky at sunset.?

Once beyond the hill, and you can drive on a good road one hundred and fifty miles or so over a score of rivers, away past the soutliue.st shore of Lake St. John But our way lies along the Saguenay. The narrou- passage once passed, where the steamer undergoes the stern scrutiny of Cap Est and Cap Quest, grim and stark cliffs, set only half a mile apart, one begins to see tiny settlements here and there in the ravines between the flanks of the lulls and on the narrow strips of meadow between tin ir base and the nver. 1 rocs are more numerous and of a sturdier growth. Cattle are browsing, boats are mov, ng about, and tugs are taking lumber to the vessels anchored in mid-stream.

This peerless lake is situated in Warren and Washington Counties, New York, seventy miles north of Albany. It is thirty-five miles long. from three-quarters to four miles in width, and three hundred and forty- six feet above the sea level. It is the handsomest as well as the most ce ebrated of the many beautiful lakes of this country, and has often been called the American Como. The silvery clearness of its waters was recoo-. nized by the Indians, who gave it the name of Horicon, to express th'is characteristic of its pellucid flood. Apart from the beautiful scenery, of which Lake George is the central gem, the surrounding country is rich in historic, romantic and legendary associations. It furnished the theatre of many fierce actions in the French, Indian and Revolutionary wars, and was the scene of many bloody en- counters between the early settlers and the Indians. Caldwell is the headquarters for tourists to Lake George. A steamer runs hence to Baldwin, at the north end of the lake, through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Hundreds of beautiful lakes lie in the valley at high elevations above the sea. A well- known writer describes the lakes as "all lovely and romantic in everything except their names; and the scenery they offer, in combination with the towering mountains and the old and savage forest, is not surpassed on earJi. Fine hotels and well-kept boarding-houses are now found throughout the region, and every year witnesses an increased number of tourists, while there is a very large yearly addition to the number who make their summer homes in the delightful wilderness. Chief amon<^ the attractive resorts are Blue Mountain Lake, Raquette Lake. Forked Lake, and Long Lake, reached by the picturesque Adirondack Railway. OLD ORCHAnO, /^e., Reached via the Central Vermont Ry. from Montreal. This old and popular watering-place possesses one of the finest beaches on the New England coast. The beach is crescent-shaped, six miles long, smooth and hard, and slopes with a gentle inclination to the water. It furnishes a magnificent drive. A pleasant diversion afforded here is a ride for four miles on the very edge of the beach in a train of observation cars. Old Orchard has an immense camp-meeting ground which is largely attended during the summer months. There are a number of hotels here and offer very good accommodation. SARATOGA SPRIKGS, N.Y.

There are few portions of the American contment so closely surrounded by the development of civil- izafon. where so much of aboriginal nature, so much of quiet beauty and scenery, unmarred by the touch of n,an. can be found. It is true that fashion and wealth have invaded the mountain fistness. and erected pa a .al hotels and handsome chateaux, where summer idlers pass their holiday m luxurious ease ; but there still remain the quiet roads, spark- hng streams and cloud capped peaks that were the familiar companions of Rip Van Winkle and Ichabod Crane. ALBAWy, HS Albany, the capital of the State of New York, " the oldest surviving European settlement in the thirteen original States," is passed by the D. & H. Ry. on the way from Montreal to New York. The public build ings are notable. Here is situated the greatest and grandest U-.-slative building of modern times. Towering majestically from the brou' of Mie hill overlooking the Hudson, the first impression of the city and its granite crown, as seen by the observer approaching it, is a memory of some old medieval city that romance has at some, time created in one's fancy The new City Hall, designed by Richardson, is justly celebrated as the most perfect exterior, architecturally, on this continent. There are many old buildings of interest, one on the southeast corner of State and North Pearl streets, built in 1667, and the Pemberton House corner Columbia and North Pearl streets, built in 1710. The Schuyler Mansion, built in 1760, is rich in historic reminiscences. The Hotel Kenmore is one of the finest hotel structures in the State. All the appointments about the house are first-class in every respect, and the tourists cannot do better than to make it their headquar- ters while in Albany. It is here that the passengers who intend taking the beautiful Hudson River trip to New York leave the train and embark on one of the floating palaces of the People's Line or the Hudson River Line. tl a] in St ye coi me -' or single rect attcii- >ns of the t of civil- cauty and true that cl erected pass their ds, spark- mpanions lid surviving :d by the •lie build- f'i^'slative '^v of the :3 granite lOnie old cy.
