PREFACE.

In the preparation of this little Han l-book, tlie Publish-
ers liave not aspired to much of an historical or anti-
quarian character, but have had in view the single
object of furnishing a sketch of tb.e places describedin
the way most serviceable to the travelling public. The
same idea has prompted tlie form In which it is issued,
combining, as it doe8, a pocket, men.orandum and
Guide Book, all in one,-- -the suggestion of Mr. J. C.
King, whose experience with travellers on the steamer
Quebec had led him to recognize what would be most
valuable and acceptable to them. It is believed that
this Hand-book will supersede everything in the way of
a Guide to the river-cities, Montreal and Quebec, and
it is confidently expected that the class for whom it is
intended will, by tlieir patronage, sustain the Publishers
in that belief.

No labour lias been spared to ensure the accuracy of
the information presented, and it is intended to revise
the same carefully with each yearly issue.

Entered according to Act of Parliament in the year one
thousand eight hundred and eighty-three, by C. R.
Ckiskolm, tn the office of the Minister of Agriculture.

RESUMING that arrangements have beea
made to reniain in the city for two or three
days, and that the tourist desires to make
himself acqiiairited with all the places of
interest in and about Montreal, we shall join compan)*
with him, and shall endeavor to act the part of a
faithful cicerone by allowing no point of interest to be
passed, without at least a brief notice.

Taking as our starting point, the corner of St. James
street and McGill street, we shall, if required, experi-
ence no difficulty in securing a comfortable conveyance,
as the Canadian carriage is kept with scrupulous
neatness. The drivers are your willing and obliging
servants, knowing every inch of the route by which
they convey you, and the charges, as will appear by
the cab tariff further on, unlike American coaching
fares, do not spoil the fairest pi'ospects, by threatening
total ruin to your finances. Each driver is supplied
with these tariff* cards, and must produce the same, if
required to do so.

MONTREAL,

And 18 Bartholomew Close, LONDON, England.

INFORMATION.

S. CARSLEY'S is the largest Dry Goods Store

in Canada.

All Goods marked in plain Figures, and no Second Price.
The Reason Why, S. CARSLEY,

Can sell so Mtjcfl cheaper than other drapers, is because

he sells for prompt Cash only, and imports his

Goods direct from Europe.

' Our arran<^ement8 being completed, we commence
our tour, and entering St. James street, wliich is the
principal thoroughfare of the city, paved with
Nicholson pavement, and lined with fine buildings,
occupied as stores or oflices, we pass a large building
jbrnnng the left hand corner of St James and McGill
streets, and occupied for many years by Messrs. Morgan
& Co., as a dry goods warehouse.

Immediately opposite this building are the Ottawa
Buildings, formerly the Ottawa Hotel, but now used
for shops and offices.

Further on, on the opposite side of the street, is the
establishment of Messrs.-Savage, Lyman tfe Co. (estab-
lished 1818), a place of great attraction to strangers,
where may be found the latest styles of jewellery,
gems, bronzes, and works of art.

At the corner of Dollard-street, a little further on, is
a beautiful stone edifice in which the Nkw York Piano
Company, under the management of Mr. H. J. Shaw,
have their warehouse and roon^s. The building is 05
feet by 50, 4 storeys high, and is fitted up with great
taste, and every convenience.

At the corner of St Peter-street, stands the Mech-
anics' Hall. This building is in the Italian style of
architecture, and consists of three divisions ; the centre
having a portico with colunnisand rusticated pillars on
the lower storey. The pillars and quoins are orna-
mented, and the windows on St. James-street have
moulded cornices. The library of the institute contains
over 5000 volumes, and the reading-room is snpplied
with British, United States, and Canadian papers, and
periodicals, and during the winter months classes in
several useful branches of education are sustained by
the Institute, and are well attended.

The Ticket Offices of the South Eastern Railway
Co. are on the ground floor of the buiUiing.

Looking across St James street we notice a beautiful
building, *' The Merchants Bank," of which tlie late
Sir Hugh Allan, of "steamship fame," was President
and founder.

The general design of the building is of mo<Jern
Italian character, the basement being >Misticated, and
built of grey Halifax granite, while tlie rest of the
building is Ohio sand-tone, with polished Peterhead
granite columns at the principal entrance. Internally,
the arrangement is somewhat peculiar, the general
banking office being arranged at the back of the build-
ing, approached by a central corridor from the street.
This is a handsomely designe<l room, about 60 feet by
50 feet, and 42 feet high, paved with tesselated tiles,
with galleries for head clerks, etc., on two sides. Out
of this main banking office, which is fitted up in tlie
most elaborate style, are the strong rooms, which have
been designed and constructed with the utmost possible
care to ensure the safety of their contents against fire
and thieves, no expense having been spared to make
them as perfect as possible.

Adjoining this Bank is a building originally erected
as the '* Odd Fellows Hall," but now known as Noun-
heimer's Music Hall, a commodious and well appointed
Theatre.

Across St. Peter-street, directly opposite the Mechan-
ics' Hall, stands the Molsoks Bank.

It is built entirely of Ohio sandstone, and is three
storeys in height, with a lofty basement. The style is
that known as the Italian, and is highly ornamented.
On the two upper storeys of the front on St. James

Tourists visiting Montreal and desirous of pur-
chasing DUY GOODS are very often led into pyyi"g
the highest prices by Runxeus and Interested parties.

Now this may be avoided, and Strangers take
advantage of those terms enjoyed by the most eco-
nomical ladies of Montreal, by buying where goods are
warranted to turn out as represented.

street, are richly carved wreallis of flowers, frint, »fec.
The main entrance, on tlie same streetj is through a
portico, supported by highly polished colunms ofScotch
granite. Sitnilar Cv')lunins of snialler dime;isions arc
placed above these, and extend to the third svorey. The
tront is surmounted by a richly carved siiield, bearing
the arms of the Molson family, and supported by two
female figures, th? whole being executed in sandstone.
Tiie building is finislied with a Mansard roof, sur-
mounted by fancy iron railing. The banking rooiii
occupies the ground floor.

St. Peter-street, which here crosses St. Jatnes, is a
fiiir specimen of the old-fashioned narrow streets of
Montreal, and a first glance would scarcely induce the
tourist to (ieviate from his onward course; but having
done so, aiid passed through to Notre Dame-street, he
will be at once struck with the beauty an<l soiidity of
the buildings by which it is lined, and, as numy
equally narrow streets open out on cither hand, he will
notice that they, too, are occrpied by buildings which
cannot be sur])assed i)y any erected for mercantile pur-
poses on this continent. We are now in the heart of
what may be termed tlie Retail dry goods business
portion of the city, prominent anjong which are the
establishments of Mkssrs. MiHiMiv and Causi-kv, a?5d a
short distance to right, almost opposite the fine building
occu[)ied by the Fedkral Bank, that of D. Laiui.aw.

had to the well known point of interest, the ** Grey

appeared, and over the sight of the ** ChapeM' now

stands the offices of the '^ Allan Line of Steamships,"
and at the Dock may be seen the vessels of that line.

Returning to St. James-street, and passing onward
we notice a tine structure, which is the only church in
the street, and one of the oldest in the city : It is called
the St. James Street Wesleyan Church, and is in
the Florid Gothic style, and the largest Wesley-
an Church in Montreal. Its size is HI by 73
feet, and it was erected at a cost of about $70,000. * The
interior is entirely surrounded by large galleries, and
will comfortably seat over 2,500 persons. The arrange-
nient of tlie interior is unique and bf autiful, the pulpit
especially, being a fine specimen of Gothic carved work,
and is entirely of solid rosewood. Within the altar
rails is a finely carved font in white marble. The pews
are finished in whivC enatnelled paint. Those on the
ground floor being lined with crimson damask, and
those on the gallery are grained in imitation of maple.
On the gallery behind the pulpit, and immediately over
the entrance to the church, is placed the organ, "which
is a most powerful instrument. The windows in front
and rear of the building, as well as those on the side
below the galleries, are filled with stained glass of the
most elaborate design ; several of these being memorial
windows. Round the walls are placed tablets in white
niarble, erected to the memory of deceased mitdsters or
prominent members of the church.

On the same side of the street, and almost adjoinin*^
the church, are the buildings of the Citizens Insurance
Company; and, opposite, the Canada IjIfe Assurance
Co., built of sandstone. Granite columns ornament the
ia<,'ade of the latter building. Adjoining this building
is a lofty and elaborate structure, the property of and
occupied by the City and District Savings Bank.

Tbis has a frontage on St. James-street of 32 feet
only, but extpuds along St. John-street over 100 feet. An
ad(^ition is now beiujjerected on Notre Dame St., which
when completed will more than double tiiat fa9ade. The
building is 4 storeys in height, and three of these storeys
are fire proof. The banking ofKces are in the lower
storeys, the upper being occupied by the British Ameri-
can Bank Note Company.

The narrow street (St. John) on wlfich the greater
extent of this building stands, somewhat hides the
beauty of architecture displayed, as it does also one
facade of the Barron Block, which forms th^ opposite
side of the street. This latter block, however, has the
advantage o( a verv extended facade on St. James-street
and is without doubt one of the finest, if not the finest
block in the city, erected ♦or ofliices. It is 4 storeys in
height, and built entirely of Montreal stone. The first
storey is composed of fluted corinlliian columns,
detached from the pier behitid, and the columns of the
upper storeys are similar in effect, but ensraged. Each
column has richly carved caps. The building is sur-
mounted by a bold massive cornice of handsome design,
above which rises the mansard roof. The Bank of
Toronto is in this building.

On the opposite side ot the street is the building of

tare built of Ohio stone, in a portion of which is the
Canadian Bank of Commerce. Adjoining this, on the
site of the " Herald " Office recently destroyed by fire,
the same Company is erecting other buildings which
will be unsurpassed in the city.

Passing along we speedily reach the St. Lawrence
Hall, favorably known as a first-class hotel, patronized
by Royalty and by many distinguished visitors to the
city. Immediately opposite is the Bank of British
North America, 'it is of the coniposite style of archi-
tecture, and is built entirely of cut stone. While not
remarkable for any great boldness in design, it cannot
tail to attract attention for its solidity. The banking
room occupies the wliole of the ground floor, and is
very spacious and light in appearance. The upper part
of the building is occupied as offices for the several
departiDcnts.

Forestry Hall, formerly the (Old) Post Office Build-
ing, is the next edifice presented to our notice. It con-
piises a basen)ent, and three storeys, with Mansard
Koof and is of coursed cut-stone masonry.

The Post Office opposite is a very handsome
building with a frontage on St. James-street of 120
feet and on St. Francois Xavier-street of 92 feet. It is
built wholly of Montreal Grey stone. The facade on
St. James-street has an imposing appearance, the
ground storey being in the Doric Style, and the second
and third having fiul carved Corinthian columns of rich
design. The facade on St. Francois Xavier-street is in
keeping with St, James-street, having Corinthian pilas-
ters, and finished in other respects similar to the main
trout. The top cornice on these fronts is of rich finish,
and the roof and lowers are in French style. The centre

A< (joining the New Post Office is the Bank of Mont-
Rf:vL. 1'hia is the fitiest public building in the city, and
is not excelled by any banking institution in America.
It is built in tlje Corinthian style of architecture, and
has a frontage on St. James-street of over 100 feet, and
extends to Fortification-lane, in the rear. The main
building stands back froni the street about twenty feet.
The entrance is by a portico supported by immense
cohunns of cut stone. These are surmounted by a
pediment. The sculpture on the pediment is fifty- two
feet long, and weighs over twenty-five tons, there being
twenty different pieces. The figures are colossal —
eight feet in height for a human figure — and are placed
at an elevation of fifty feet from the ground. The
arms of the bank, with the motto *' Concordia Salus,"
forms the centre of the group. On each side, vis-a-vis^
is seated a North American Indian. One of these is a
[)erfect. illustration of the poet's conception : '' When
wild in woods the noble savage ran." The other has
made some progress, and points his finger to the fruits
of civilization beside him, by way of enforcing theargu-
ment he is maintaining with his swarthy brother. The
other two figures are a settler and sailor on either side,
the former with a calumet, or pipe of peace in his hand,
reclining upon logs, and surrounded by the implements
and emblems of industry, the spade, the plough, the

Majesty's sculptor in Scotland. Connected with this
bank is a Savmgs Branch, the business of which is
carried on in a building adjoining the one just des-
cribed, and connected with it by fire-proof passages.

Taking our stand on the steps of this bank, we have
before us the square known as Place d'Armes, during
the French regime a Market Place and Drill Ground,
but now a beautiful, though small, public garden with
a fountain in the centre- On part of this square stood,
in early days, the French parish churcli, the founda-
tion of which was laid in 1671. The church was low,
built of rough stone, pointed with mortar, and had a
high pitched roof, covered with tin. On this square,
in 1775, was assembled the handful ofcitizens, soldiery
and regulars, who, after review, proceeded to the point
where ^than Allen, and his followers, had landed, in
his reckless adventure to capture the city, and in which
lie was defeated.

The scene has greatly changed. The square is now
enclosed with a neat iron railing, on a stone foundation,
a fountain is erected in the centre, and handsome en-
trance gates are erected at the four corners. The stone

posts on either side of the gates are surmounted by a
shield with the arms of the city, cut in stone. Ou
eitlier side of tlie square, are buildings., which, for soli-
dity and architectural beauty, are unsurpassed in
Canada. These buildings are chiefly devoted to bank-
]\]ir and insurance offices. Tliat which immediately
adjoins the Bank of Montreal was formerly known a?.
the City Bank, but is now the Hkad Offices of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. It is a plain hut substan-
tial stone building of the Doric order, three storeys in
height, the centre portion of the buihiing being formed
ot' two rows of stone columns. Tlie Company has
recently made extensive additions to the building both
in front and rear, and the interior arratigenients are
conunodious and complete. Further on, at the corner
ofSt. James-street and Place d'Armes Hill, is the build-
in.i; of the Lifie Association OF Scotland, a lofty edifice
of sandstone. On the left hand side of Place d'Armes is
the Jacques Cariikh Bank, a beautiful new building,
well executed in the modern French KenaisHance style,
tour stories in height, with high mansard roof.

A few yards further alon^;, and at the corner of Notre

But from our poirjt of view, we observe, rising above
Jill surrounciing buildings, the lofty and massive towers
of the Parish Church of Notre Dame, or *' The
Cathedral," as it is erroneously designated by nuiny.
Like a giant among pigmies, it raises aK a, its twin
towers of stone, from which ever and anon peals forth
(lie music of sweet-toned bells, and the deep roll of the
" (rros Bourdon," or great bell, whicli is suspended
within the western tower. For miles distant these
towers may be discerned, and its world-wide reputa-
tion naturally makes it the centre of attraction to the
tourist.

The building is of the Gothic architecture, and has
no superior on the continent of North America. Tiie
length of the church from east to west is 225 feet 6
inches, and its breadth from north to south is I'M feet
(I inches. On St. Sulpice-street, the height from the
street to the eaves is 61 feet. On the west front, it has
two towers 220 feet high. The space between the
towers is 73 feet by 120 feet in height. The builditig
will accomniodate 10,000 persons. The eastern window
iit the high altar is 04 feet in height, by 32 in breadth ;
it is se|>arated by shafts into five compartments, and
subdivided by mullions into 30 <livisions. The portal
is Ibrnied by an arcade of three arches, each ID feet by

the church, and over the arcade are three niches, in
which are placed statues. In the south-west tower is
placed the largest bell in America, weighing 29,400
lbs., while the other tower contains a chime of bells.
Admission may be gained to the south-west tower
every day (except Sunday) during the summer, and
iiom the summit the spectator has a delightful and
extensive view of the city, the river, and surrounding
country.

Adjoining the church, and facing Notre Dame-street,
is the venerable Seminary of St.Sulpioe, which was
founded about the year 1657, by the Abbe Quelus, who
then arrived from France, commissioned by the
Seminary of St. Sulpice at Paris to superintend the
settlement and cultivation of their property on the
Island of Montreal, and also to erect a seminary upon
the plan of that at Paris. His instructions were so well
fulfilled that the establishment he formed has existed
until the present time, modified by many and great
improvements.

A portion of the building originally erected for this
institution still stands near the corner of Notre Dame
iind St. Fran9ois Xavier-streets, and forms a striking
contrast to the magnificent buildings by which it is
almost entirely surrounded ; yet to the antiquarian it is
one of the prmcipal points of interest, being the oldest
building now standing. There is a public clock in
front of the building, equally celebrated for its anti-
quity. We, however, expect that the time-honored
>valls, which have withstood the summer sun and
winter storms for now over 200 years, will soon have to
make way for more modern structures. The old
Seminary was the sameshape as at present, viz., form-

Francois Xavier-street further curtailed its dimensions,
k'living the garden of but Hmited extent. What has
been retained, is well laid out and cared for.

Proceeding down St. Francois Xavier-street (ilie
Wall street of Montreal), entering it from Notre Dame
street we pass the beautiful buildings of the Exchangk
Bank, and on our way, we pass the offices of the Cana-
dian Express Company, tlie line building of the North
British and Mercantile Insurance Company, also the
uthces of the Canada M'.Uual Telegraph Company,
and a few doors away on Hospital street the offices of
the Dominion SS. Co., D. Torrance & Co., agents,
and speedily find ourselves standing before the superb
building erected by tlie Montreal Telegraph Company
tor its own use, and now occupied by the Great North-
western Telegraph Company, wliich has leased it.

This block has a frontage on St. Sacrament-street of
110 feet and on St. FranQois Xavier-street 65 feet.

named street, which gives access ro the general offices.

Opposite to this building, on St. Sacrament-street,
stands the Merchants' Exchange Building, which is
three storeys high, with basement and finished attics.
The facades are cut stone, the principal one, facing on
St, Sacrament street, being in the Italian style, with
the main entrance in the centre.

Near to this place is situated the Corn Exchange
which forms the corners of St. Sacrament, St, John
and St. Alexis streets. It is three storeys in height,
the upper storey being equal in height to the two lower
ones. The lower storey and a portion of the second is
of dressed Montreal stone. The upper portion of the
building is of red brick with stone dressings. The
upper flat is fitted up as a spacious and elegant hall for
the transaction of business 5 the room is well lighted
with lofty windows on three sides.
j Returning to St. Francois Xavier-street, and passing
down, we enter St. Paul-street, a narrow street, but on
which are some of the finest buildings erected for mer-
cantile purposes. Passing one block downward, we
enter a small square on which is erected a plain build-
ing formerly used as a custom house. In front of this
building, facing the Harbour, is the Custom House, an
exceedingly handsome edifice, which was erected for
the Royal Insurance Co. of London, and was subse-
quently purchased by the Dominion Government
From the tower of this building a beautiful view of the
Harbor, the River, and Victoria Bridge is obtained.

A short distance below the Custom House is the
" Montreal Sailors Institute," an institution which
has accomplished very much for the welfare (both spiri-
tual and ten^poral) of the large class for which the
Institution was founded. The comfortable reading and

Return ino; to St. Paul-street, and passing onward, we
ascend St. Sulpice-street, on the lower side of which
are the immense blocks of warehouses known as the
'^ Nun's Buildings/' used as barracks for the troops
sent out during the " Trent" difficulty, but now occu-
pied by wholesale firms. Passing up this street we
have a fine view of the side of the French Parish
Church, and speedily enter Notre Dame-street at the
Place D'Armes. Passing along that street, the tourist
will note the chaste and elegant style of architecture
adopted for the large Retail Establishments which
line its extent. Shortly after we turn into Notre Dame-
street, we notice among the fine blocks of warehouses
one known as the Cathedral Block. This occupies the
site of the old Christ's Church destroyed by fire in
December 1856.

Midway between the Place D'Armes and the Court
House we stop, and passing through a modest looking
gateway, we find ourselves surrounded by ancient look-
ing buildings with old-liashioned slanting roofs and iron
shutters. This is The Convent of *' La Congregation
DE Notre Dame," founded by the celebrated Marguerite
Bourgeois, who commenced the undertaking in the
year 1659, with some young iadies she had brought
from France. The buildings originally extended 234
feet along Notre Dame and 433 feet on St. Jean Bap-
tiste-street. The Notre Dame-street front was enclosed
by a high stone wall, which was taken down about 1835
and a range of cut-stone houses and shops erected.
The buildings in St. Jean Baptiste street still stand,
but the old chapel was taken down a few years ago, and
was replaced by an elegant edifice of cut stone, en-

the sisters of this congregation has given to the estab-

Proceeding along Notre Dame-street, we reach the
Court House. " iis building is after the Grecian style
of architecture, ..odified to suit the requirements of the
Courts of law, and the vicissitudes of the climate, and,
although divested of some of the elegant ornamentation
belonging to this beautiful style, is yet, in its unpre-
tending and massive grandeur, second to few buildmgs
in the city. The most striking feature is its large Ionic
portico, and the bold projection of the pediment, which
gives the central portion of the principal front a very
noble appearance. The front is divided in its length
into five compartments, the wings advancing somewhat
less than the centre, so as to give the facade an artistic
prominence, and to fr'?e the building from that mono-
tony which marked the earlier public buildings of the
city. Ample proportions are given to the entrance,
vestibules, corridors and staircases, while spacious halls
of Justice and public offices are laid out, as well as
ante-rooms and private chambers for the Judges, and
chief officers of the Court. These offices are well
lighted from the sides. Beside capacious fire-proof
vaults, the building contains rooms for the Police, Cri-
minal, Circuit, Superior, and Appeal Courts, advocates'
rooms, Council room, and Library offices for the Protho-
notary. Sheriff and Registrar, and rooms required for all
other officers engaged in the administration of justice.
The total length of the building is 300 feet; width 126
feet; height 76 feet. It isbuilt entirely of Montreal stone,
and the roof is covered with bright tin.

Opposite the Court House, on Jacques Cartier Square
is the RicHELiELT Hotel, a well kept and well appointed
Hotel.

In rear of the Court House is a large level plateau
known as the Champs dk Mars, which was formerly
used as a parade, or drill jsjround for the troops. It was
originally but a small piece of ground situated in one of
the bastions of the old town wall, but after the walls
were removed it was enlarged to its present dimensions,
240 yards long by 120 wide.

At the side ot the Champ de Mars, stands the St.
Gabrtei -STREET Presbyterian Church, erected in 1792.
It is a plain unassuming looking structure, and stands
back several feet from the street. It is surmounted by
a small steeple, which contains a bell s iid to be ilie
nrst Protestant bell sounded in Canadr. For many
years a part of the church was assigned to the uee of
the troops, wheti any Scotch regiments were stationed
in Montreal.

On the site adjoining the Court House is erected the
City Hall, a very handsome, imposing building in
the modern French Style with nmnsard roof and {»avi-
lion in tiie centre, it is four stories in height, a!)d
185ft. in length, and is one of the ornaments of the city.

In this building was erected the first printing press ever
used in Montreal. It had been brought by Franklin
in order to publish matters likely to bind the French
Canadians to the '* American caupe ; " but ar neither
the " pen " nor the ^' sword" proved successful, the
principals retired from the field, and the printer
remained, and shortly after started a newspaper which
is still publi5<hed— the Monireal Gazette. This build-
ing with additions was formerly known as the Jacques
Cartisr Normal School, but'is now used by the Medi-
cal Faculty of Laval University.

In front it is 100 feet in leiigth, 51 in breadth, two
storeys in height, and is built of stone : in the rear it
has a wing 136 feet long, 30 feet wide, four storeys high,
and built, of brick. The principal building, fronting on
Notre Dame-street, an<l formerly known as** LeVieux
Chateau," was constructed by Claude de Ramezay,
Esq., formerly Governor of Three Rivers, afterwards
Governor of Montreal, father of J. Bte. Nicolas Roch
de Ramezay, wlio signe<l the capitulation of Quebec.
It long continued to be the resideneeof the French Gov-
ernors, and even after the conquest was used for similar
purposes.

Directly opposite the Court House (which we may
remark en passant is erected on the old Jesuit estates,
confiscated at the Conquest) stands N ki.son's Monument.
The moniiment is built of limestone, and the ornaments
are of a coniposition invented by Coade and Sealy, of
London, and were executed by Ihem. The base, or
pedesial, is square ; six and a-h^lf feet broad on each

eter. It is of the Doric order, and finished with mould-
ings. On the top of the pillar is a square tablet, the
whole surmounted with a statue of Nelson eight feet
in height. The face is directed towards the west, and
looks as if intently watching the termination of some
great event. His left arm is resting upon the stump of
a broken mast, surrounded by tackle, blocks, etc., as
they appear to have fallen from the rigging. He is
dressed in full uniform, and decorated with the insignia
of the various orders of nobility conferred upon him.
In former days the Jail stood' directly opposite this
statue, and it was remarked that Nelson was very im-
properly placed, as he had his back to his loved ele-
ment, the water, while his face was towards the Jail. In
front of the monument, and pointed towards the river,
are two pieces of Russian ordnance captured during the
war with that country.

At the foot of this square are the wharves for the
Richelieu and Ontario Navigation Company's Steamers.
The steamers running between Montreal and Quebec
are named after those cities. They are splendid, double-
decked, iron boats, comparing favorably with the finest
steamers on the Hudson. Tourists have alwavs been
very favorably impressed with the politeness and atten-
tion shown by the officers to their patrons. These
steamers have about 150 fine single and double state-
roomf«, each beautifully furnished, and looking so neat
and clean that a singleglance assures one of a good
night's rest. The dining room is below decks, large and
well furnished. The table is supplied with all the deli-
cacies of the season; every attention being shown to
make the trip pleasant. The steamers of this line are

From the sauare we pass along St. Paul street to the
BoNSEOouRS Market, a magnificent pile of cut stone,
buildings in the Grecian Doric style of architecture
erected at a cost of about $200,000^ and equal, if not
superior, to any building of the kind in America.

This building is the first to attract the attention of the
tourist as he approaches the city, by the river. It has
extensive frontage on the river side, and is three storeye
in height, with a lofty dome j the whole roof being
covered with bright tin.

On St. Paul-street at the lower end of the Market
stands the Bonsecours Church, which was the first
church built of stone on tl\e Island of Montreal, the
Church of Notre Dame not being completed when this
v/as opened. The foundations were laid in 1658, by Mar-
jiuerite Bourgeois, who intended to establish a nunnery
here, but meeting with obstacles, she visited France,
whence she returned the following year, and established
the nunnery on Notre Dame street. On the 29th June,
1673, the principal stones of this edifice were laid with
great solemnity, and on August I5th, 1675^ Mass was
performed for the first time. In 1764 it was destro}^ed
oy fire and was not rebuilt till 1771, when its re-erection
was resuuied, andon 30th June, 1773, it was completed.

At this poi'jt we return by way of Bonsecours-atreet
to Notre Dame-street, and soon reach Dalhousie-
SQUARE. This square was known for many years as
Citadel Hill, from the fact that its site was once a hill
or elevation upon which was built a small Ibrt or citadel.

(Earl Dalhousie) presented the site to the City, and it
was named Dalhousie-square. It is not enclosed, nor
yet has it any ornamentation whatever, with the excep-
tion of a small strip on the west side of Notre Dame-
street. Facing this on the site of the old Quebec Gate
33arracks is the Passenger Station of the Canadian
Pacific Ry.

Continuino; along St. Mary street we pass in suc-
cession St. Thomas' Church, one of the oldest endow-
ments in the city, the extensive workn of the Canada
Rubber Company, the Molson Sugar Refinery, and then,
on the left side of the street, facing the river, is the
Montreal Jail, of 240 feet front, and three storeys in
height, with a lofty basement, the centre of the build-
ing rising four storeys : the wings in rear of the build-
ing are of the same height as the main edifice. The
building is surrounded by a high wall, and to the rear
are the workshops of the Canadian Pacific Railway.

A short distance below the jail is the Ferry to Lon-
f!;ueuil, a thriving village on the opposite shore of tiie
St. Lawrence, and the Station of the North Shore Rail-
way, running to Quebec. A short distance out of the
city is the Iiochelaga Convent, a noted Seminary for
young ladies. The buildings are modern, and most
conveniently laid out.

From this point, the ride along the lower part of the
Island of Montreal is very beautiful. We shall not
proceed further, but merel}^ mention that at Point aux
Trembles, a few miles below the convent, is situated
the schools of the French Canadian Missionary Society
(Protestant). These are very substantial, and furnish-
ed with every facility for the work carried on by that
Society.

Returning to the city, and leaving St. Mary-street at
Papineau-?quare, which we cross, we enter Dorchester
street, and at the corner of Gain-street we notice
St. Luke's Church (Episcopal), a neat and commo-
dious stone edifice, erected after the great fire of 1852.
We next pass in puccespion, the schools of the Christiaii
Brothers, the St. Bridget's, and St. Peter's Roman
Catholic churches, and reach St. Denis-street, which we
will ascend to St. Catherine street, at the corner of
which are St. James Church (R.C.) and Schools. — The
church is a beautiful stone building, in the early pointed
style of the 13th century, erected upon the site of the
former'* Bishop's Church and Palace," and is arranged
to seat about 2,500 persons. The windows are filled
with stained glass. The schools are substantially built
edifices, capable of accommodating a large number of
pupils.

A short distance beyond this st .iids the Asile de la
Providence. This institution, which is under the
direction of the Sisters of Charity of the Providence
Convent, was founded in 1828. The object of the
institution is to receive and care for aged and infirm
women, orphans, etc.

Near the foot of the street is Trinity Church (Epis-
copal). This church is in the early English Gothic
style, and is built entirely of Montreal stone ; the ash-
lar work of random coursed work, showing the natural
face of the stone ; the quoins and moulded work being
dressed. There is a nave, side aisles, cliancel, tower,
and basement. The tower, which faces on St. Denis-
street, is surmounted by a spire, constructed of wood
and covered with galvanized iron, the total height being
168 feet, and the most graceful spire in the city. The
whole building is 1G7 feet in length by 70 in breadth.

Directly opposite tliis is Viger Garden. The site
o( this garden was originally a swamp or marsh, and
i.e marked as such on an old plan of the city in 1758.
Each succeeding year has witnessed improvements and
additions, until the square has acquired its present
beautiful and pleasant aspect. It is bounded by Oraig,
Dubord, St. Denis, and St. Hubert-streets, and con-
tains three fountains, the largest one being in the centre
of the garden. Close by this fountain is a neat conser-
vatory for the propagation of flowering roots, &c., for
the decoration of this and other city squares. In addi-
tion lo the three principal fountains, there are others
for drinking purposes in various parts of the garden.
The grounds are beautifully laid out, and the utmost
care and great discrimination has been displayed in the
choice of trees and shrubs, which are plentifully culti-
vated. During the summer a band often plays in the
(grounds. Ascending tliis street, which is one of the
handsomest in the city, again, to St. Catherine street,
ut a short distance along the latter to the East is the
church of Notre Dame de Lourdes, which lacks the
interest given to many other churches of the city by
historical association, Imt is interesting on other groutids.
The church is one of recentdate, and has been built and
ornamented with the single design of expressing and
interpreting, by means of palming, the dognia of the
Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. This
is the only work of the kind on this continentj and re-
flects great credit upon the native artist, M. Bourassa,
and his 6'or;A<f of assistants. The architecture is Byzan-
tine, similar to much of the Ilenaissance period, and is a
hijou of art well worthy a visit.

It consists of a uave with narrow aisles, a transept
and a choir. The choir and the transept are term in-
ated by circular and domed apses, and a large central
dome rises at the intersection of the transept. The
fagade is of white marble. The portico is surmounted
by a rose window and by two galleries of round-headed
arches. Projecting wings on either side are intended
to be completed with domes. It is a small church, but
the proportions are just and harmonious. T!ie nave
is 50 leet long, 50 feet high, and 25 feet wide. The
dimensions of the transept are precisely the same. The
choir is 26 feet long and 20 feet wide. The large dome
is 26 feet wide and 90 feet high. The total length of
the church is then 102 feet, and total length of the
transept is 76 feet, includmg the dome.

The first picture on the roof of the nave represents the
promise of the redemption made to Adam and Eve.
rhey are prostrated before the Lord, who addresses the
serpent. The text illustrated is Gen. iii. 15, as in the
V^ulgate, "She shall bruise thy head.*' The second
panel is the sacrifice of Abraham, the text is the coven-
ant made with Noah, Gen. ix» 11, 16. The tinrd repr' -
Hcnts the arrival of Rebecca before Is- the text is
tlie promise made to Abraham. The fo. vhich is

over the choir, is Jacob blessing his children, .; Uter-
iiig the promise that "the sceptre shall not de-mrt
iron) Judah until Shiloh come.'* On the right side uf
the nave are the prophets who have prophesied of the
Virgin. Isaiah the text, chapter vii. : ** Behold, a Virgin

.shall cotne fortli a ruler." On the left side are types
of the Virgin, first Sarah, then Rebecca, then Kachel,
and in the choir, Rutii.

The artist then proceeds to show tlie Roman view of
the realization of these promises. First, on the right
transept is painted the Salutation of Elizabeth, Luke i.
42, on the left transept the Nativity. The figures
around the transept are those of doctors and saints
who have magnified the glory of Mary, or advocated
tlie dogma illustrated. The Greek iuthers on the lelt,
tiie Latin on the right.

In the choir the four great events of the life of St.
Mary are portrayed. The previous pictures represent
the " predestination of Mary." The choir contains the
exposition of the dogma proper. The statue which is
over the altar and strikes the eye immediately on enter-
ing the church is symbolic of the doctrine. It repre-
K'lits the Virgin in the attitude usually attributed to
this subject by the Spanish painters — the hands crossed
on the breast — but here sue is altogether in white,
while the garment in their pictures is usually blue.
She is standing on the clouds, and the text illustrated
is Rev. xii. 1, *' A woman clothed with the sun, and
the Hioon under her feet.'^ The light throw!i down from
iin unseen lamp is to represent the clothing with the
Kun. As the Roman idea is to present St. Mary in her
jjcrsonal character as the purest of created beings the
mystical light upon the white garment conveys it better
than do^Murillo's paintings, in which the dress is blue.

The sub-chapel, which is readied by stairways from
the portico, contains a representation of the apparition
ot the Virgin in the grotto at Lourdes, and the kneeling
fiiiure is that of the peasant girl Bernadette who saw
the visions at Lourdes,

Some distance along St. Catherine street in a wester-
ly direction is a chapel in which M. Bourassa has
executed a study of another subject in similar style. It
is called Notre Dame de Nazareth.— This church is
on St. Catherine street, near St. George street. It is
placed between the Asylum ior Blind Children and the
Orj)iian Asylum. These institutions are built of brick,
liut the facade of the church is of limestone, and its
style is Norman. The interior consists of a nave with
a iiat ceiling, on each side of which is a row of columns
supporting a gallery, or rather an arcade. Tliese arcades
jiiive smaller columns in front, and were probably sug-
jrc-ted by the closed galleries for women, which were
cjnunon in early Christian churches, and of which one
specimen still remains at St. Agnese in Rome. The
paintings commemorate incidents in the early life of
our Lord, liis birth, his flight into Egypt, his poverty
and labour at Nazareth. Over the altar he is painted
a^ the Good Shepherd, and around him are the four
Evangelists. The arcliitecture of the interior is light
and graceful, the colours are harmonious, and the effect
is very pleasing.

Adjoining wo notice the Roman Catholic Orphan
Asylum, or Salle de PAsile Nazareth, under charge of
the Grey Nuns. At the side of tliis is the main entrance
to Muilding we shall now describe.

attention of all passers-by. The edifice is 125 feet
in length, 45 feet in breadth, and three storeys in
lieight. In tlie centre of the building on each side is
a large entrance, the surroundin^^s of which are beauti-
fully ornamented with elaborate \vork man ship in stone.

Surmounting the building, above each doorway, is a
tower twent} leet in height, pyramidal-shaped. The
whole structure has an appearance of stateliness and
solidity.

The residence of the principal is attached to the
west wingof the building, and immediately beyond this
is a large brick building, in which the students receive
practical training in various branches of manufactures
and art. In fact, the aim of theSchool Commissioners
has been to make this a '* Polytechnic Institute," and
thus far they have succeeded.

A short distance from this, near the junction of
Bleury with St. Catherine street, is the Church of the
Gesu, generally considered one of the niost beautiful
church edifices in America. The style of architecturt
is the round Roman Arch. It is 191: feet long and 96
wide, but at the transept the transversal nave is 144
feet long. The height of the two naves is 75 feet. The
Gesu forms a perfect cross. The head of the cross is
formed by the sanctuary. The interior is frescoed in
the most elaborate manner. Over the high altar is a
Ixiiutiful fresco representing the crucifixion of our
Lord. Higher up the centre-piece is a scene from the
Apocalypse. On the cei'ing of the sanctuary, the
shepherJs are seen adoring the new-born Saviour4
A<^ainst the four large columns, which support the
ceiiing, in the centre of the cross, are statues of the
four Evangelists, bearing lustres with seven branches.

Near tlie pulpitis St. Mark with filibn; at the opposite
corner of the sanctuary, St. Matthew with an ox; at
the lower corner, on the pulpit side, St. Luke with a
child ; and, opposite, St. John with an eagle. There are
also in the church several very tine paintings. St.
Mary's College axd Faculty of Law is alongside the
Church. Tljis college, which is under the (lirection of
the Society of Jesuits, was opened on the 20th Septem-
ber, 1848, antl chartered on the 10th of November, 1852.
The building is an imposing and substantial pde of
stone, four storeys in height, and surmounted in the
centre by a large dome.

A short distance to the left, from Bleury-street, on
Dorchester-street is the Protestant House of Indus-
try AND Refuge. The building is of brick, three
8toreys in height, with a high basement. On the first
storey is the Ladies' Industrial Department, and the
<rcneral offices of the institution; the second storey
( on tains the board room, and dwelling of the superin-
tendent. The third storey is fitted up as dormitories.
All casual visitors receive a meal in tne morning, and
evening, and as payment for breakfast they work at
■^plitting kindling wood for one or two hours. The
number of inmates, average about f)5 in summer and
120 in winter. The number of night lodgings given
during the year is about 10,000. The institution
possesses a farm, which was left them by the late Mr.
Molson, upon which, at some future day buildings will
be erected for permanent, inmates. Proceeding along
Dorchester-street we come to a public square, formerly
the Protestant Burying (]fround,at the opposite corner
of which, on Chenneville-street, is the Jewish Syna-
gogue, a Ihie specimen of the Egyptian style of archi-

and portico. Beyond this is the St. Andrews Home, a
biiildinff owned by the St. Andrew's Society, and
intended as a home for the reception of destitute
Scotch people. Still further along, is the French
Mission Church (Protestant), erected b)^ the French
Protestant Missionary Society in connection with the
Church of Scotland.

It is built of brick with stone dressings and slate
roof, and in the Gothic style of architecture. The
church is 58 feet long by 30 wide.
Proceeding along Dorchester-street we cross St. Law-
rence-street and soon reach the Montreal General
Hospital. On theGthday of June, 1821, the foundation
stone of the building [which now tbrmo the centre
portion] was laid with Masonic honors, by the Right
Worshipful Sir John Johnson, Bart., Past Provincial
(riand Master of Canada. In less than a year the
building was finished, and on the 1st May, 1822, it was
opened for the eception of patients. On the 18th May,
l8iU, the Hon. John Richardson, the first president of
the institution, died at the age of 7G years. His friends,
desirous of erecting some n»onunient to his memory,
resolved to devote the money acquired by a public sub-
^cription, to the enlargement of this building, by
erecting a wing, to be called the Richardson wing.
Accordingly, on the IGth September of the same year,
the corner-stone was laid, and the building was opened
lor the reception of patients on the lih December, 1832,
In 1848, the widow of the late Chief Justice Reid added
the wing known as the Reid wing, as a m mument to
the memory of her husband. Another wmg was added
later on, and is known as the Morland wing. This

building fi'onts on St. Dominique-?treet, and is attached
to the west wing of the main building. It i8 a plain
but rather imposing structure, built of stone, four
storeys in height, besides a high Mansard roof.

Turning up St. Dominique-street we arrive at St.
John's Church (German Protestant). The corner-
stone of this building was laid on the 21st April, 1858.
It is erected solely with a view to comfort, without anv
display of architectural beauty, either internally oV
oxternally.

Opposite to the church is the St. Lawrence Market,
a brick building, similar in style to all the other public
markets. Passing round this building, we enter St.
Lawrence Main street, one of the principal retail busi-
ness streets, and crossing St. Catherinestreet we ascend
a steep acclivity to Sherbrooke street, at the corner of
which stands the Sherbrooke-street Wesleyan
Church. This church is of the early Gothic style. On
the front is a tower surmounted by a spire, rising to a
height of 120 feet. There are three entrances by the front,
and one on the side. A lofty basement extends under the
whole edifice, tbrming school-rooms, class-rooms, <fec. ;
the churcK will scat 500. The roof is an imitation
clerestory in different colored slates, and the building
is entirely of Montreal stone. A short distance along
Sherbrooke-street (to the right) is the convent of the
Bon Pasteur (Good Shephenl), and nearly opposite are
the school eclifices erected by the Protestant School
Commissioners.

Proceeding on our way up St. Lawrence Main-street

a liandpome stone building of Gothic architecture, the
interior of which is very well flnisiied and artistically
tinted.

As we ride along, we have to our left, and lying near
the foot of the mountain, a pile of massive stone build-
irgs, surrounded by a hi^h wall. This is the Hotel
DiEU, the first of the religious houses formed in Mont-
real, iiavmg been commenced within two years after
the first occupation of the city. It was founded in
1644 by Madame de Bouillon, for the reception of the
sick and diseased poor of both sexes. The first build-
ing was situated on St. Paul-street, along which it ex-
tended 324 feet, and on St. Joseph (now St. Sulpice
street) it was 468 feet in depth. The building consisted
of a hospital, convent, and church. The church
stood upon St. Paul-street, and was of stone, in the
Tuscan style, surnmunied by a triangular pediment
and cross. Before the establishment of the Montreal
General Hospital this was the only place to which
the afflicted poor of the city could be sent lor relief.
It furnished for many years a refuge for the
miserable, and help for the sick, to whose comfort the
siHters devoted themselves with the most praiseworthy
benevolence. The increasing demands for aid rendered
it necessary that more extensive premises should be
obtained, added to which was the fact that the neigh-
borhood was so tliickly built up that it became neces-
sary to remove the hospital to a more open locality.
To meet this the present premises were erected. This
is the most extensive religious edifice in America. It is
situated in a large open field, at the head of St. Famille-
street, and contains the church, convent, and hospital.
The whole of the grounds are surrounded by a massive

stone wall, and the circumference of the enclosure is
one mile and a half. The foundations of the buildinc;
were laid by the Roman Catholic Bishop on the lat
July, 1859, and in January, 1861, the bodies of the de-
ceased nisters were removed, witb great solemnities,
from their resting-place, in the old chapel, to the new
building. The physicians of the institution are the
protiessors of the French school of medicine. There are
75 nuns in charge of the institution, which contains a
large number of old men, orphans, and over 200 pa-
tients, while an average of over 200 sick persons are'
annually admitted.

As we leave this building, and continue our way
along St. Lawrence-street, we enter *' St. Jean Baptiste
village," a municipality, distinct from that of Montreal,
and yet so joined to it, that the oldest citizen could
scarcely tell you when he left the city, or when he
enterecf the village. Near the centre of this village
stands the Town Hall, and Market; then we pass the
"Public square,'' and reach the point of divergence
towards the mountain. Tlie corner at which we turn
is known as the ** Mile End," it being situated a mile
beyond where the St. Lawrence Tollgate formerly stood.

if we should invu to the riglit, at this point, and
])roceed about ^ a mile, v;e should find ourselves in the
midst of extensive stone quarries fron» whiclj have been
taken nearly all the material used in the erection of
the public, and private edifices of our beautiful city.
Our course, however, is in the oppOvsite direction, and
as we pass along a well-kept, level and pleasant road,
we inform our tourist that we are now upon a tour,

country which lies on the western side of Mount Royal.
Not far from Mile End and at the terminus of the City
Passenger Railway Cars are the extensive grounds on
which the Provincial Agricultural and Industrial
exhibitions are held, and where permanent exhibition
buildings have been erected. We next pass through
the tollgate, and enter the avenue leading to that
beautiful resting-place of the Protestant dea<I, Mount
Royal Cemetery. This cemetery was consecrated
in 1854. To provide for the reception of the bodies
of those who die in the winter months two very exten-
sive vaults have been erected at considerable ex-
pense. The approach to the cemetery is by a winding,
and rather precipitous, carriage way, passing through
which, may be seen many of the wild beauties of nature,
and from several points on the road there are beautiful
views to be had in every direction. The road, which
is called Mount Royal Avenue, is kept in the finest
condition, and planted on each side v^ith trees. The
gateway at the entrance is a beautiful structure of cut-
stone, with iron gates. These gates, and the building
immediately within the same, erected for the use of the
superintendent, cost about $10,000. From the main
entrance avenues diverge towards different parts of the
cemetery, that on the right leading to the winter
vaults. In passing through the grounds the visitor
sees many little nooks under the over-hanging foliage
of trees and whrubs, which grow in all their natural
wildnesH, and whose deep shadows spread a refreshing
coolness around, and invite him to rest on the garden
seats which are placed in different parts.

ricp, such as lakes or streams of running water, still,
those which do exist are made available in eveiy
possible way, to add beauty to the scene. Returning
irom the Cemeterv, the drive is continued round the
mountain, and soon reaching a higher elevation a
beautiful panoramic view is obtained of the northern
side f the Island. On a clear day thirteen village
spires may be seen. In the distance the spire of the
College ofSte. Thevose glistens in the sun, the waters
of the Lake of the Two Mountains, and the Lake St.
Louis and the St. Lawrence are visible. The village of
Cote des Neiges, with its quaint old chapel, next
attracts the attention of the tourist. It is a fair speci-
men of a Canadian village. Many imagine it derives
its name from the snow-drifts, the true name being
The Village of Our Lady of Snow, but it is derived from
a village of the same name in France.

In the 17th century, among the French emi-
grants who came to settle in Cajiada were several
families from that village. When lookins: for land the^'
went over the mountain, and as they beheld the beauti-
ful view they exclaimed, 'this is like our native village
in France.' Well pleased, they settled there, and built
a small church, and named itL'Eglise de Notre Dame
des Neiges. From that church the name of the hamlet
is derived.

Having passed through the village, there lies before
us a choice of roads. We may pass direct tu the city,
or take the road round the "^'two Mountains." We
dev'ide upon the latter, and turning to the right, for
nearly two miles the eye is delighted with a panoramic
view of the cultivated larms of the Canadians. Thon
turning to the left, we pass Ville '\ria, formerly the

ST. LAWRENCE HALL,

MONTREAL.

For the past thirty years this hotel, familiarly known as the
** St. Lawrence," has bepn a '* household word" to all travellers
on the continent of North America, and has been patronized by
all the Royal ana noble personages who have visited the city of
Montreal.

This Hotel has been recently re-taken by MR. HENRY
HOGAN, the former proprietor, who has handsomely and
appropriately decorated and renovated the interior, and com-
pletely refitted the whole of the apartments with new furniture.

The Hotel is admirably situated, being in the very heart of
the city, and contiguous to the General Post Office, the princi-
pal Banks, Public Buildings, Law Courts, Commercial Ex-
changes, Railway and Telegraph Offices.

The Hotel will be managed by Mil. Samuel Montgomery,
under the immediate personal supervision of Mr. Hoqan, than
whom no one is better qualified to conduct an hostelry of such
magnitude as the St. Lawrence Hall, and than whom no one has
gained a better reputation as au obliging, generpus and cou-
siderate boat.

residence of the Earl of Elgin, Governor General, who
fled there tor refuge from the indignation and fury of
the people, when they burnt the Parliament House, in
1849, This fine villa and grounds is now occupied by
the sisters of the Congregation as a boarding school.
Opposite the convent is the Church of St, Luke. Turn-
ing again to the left, towards Montreal, a magnificent
view is presented of the St. Lawrence, the distant
Mountains of Vermont and Boucherville, and Beloeil
Mountain on the opposite side of the river. The finest
point of observation is from the Butternut Tree on the
roadside, just before descending the hill. Here a few
minutes' rest will afford great enjovnient, as it presents
a view unsurpassed for variety and. beauty.

Descending the hilL we pass Cote St. Antoine,
noticing on Cote St. Luc road'the McKay Institution
for Protestant Deaf Mutes,* a handsome building
endowed by the late Joseph McKay. '

Once more entering the City, by the toligate on
Sherbrooke-street, and passing onward about ^ a mile,
we reach the extensive buildings known as the ''Great
Seminary." We have already alluded to the ancient
Seminary building on Notre Dame-street. In addition
to this building, the *' Gentlemen of the Semiiiajy^' had
a large farm situated at the foot of the Mountain (and
now intersected by Guv, Dorchester, St. Catherine and
Sherbrooke-streets.) This was laid out in extensive
gardens,^ orchards, etc., which were cultivated for the
benefit of the Seminary. The buildings on this farm were
commodious and substantial, and were surrounded by
a massive stone wall. The entrance gates were
flanked by two remarkable looking stone towers, still
standing, and having at the first glance an appearance

not unlike the remains of cld wind mills. These quaint
looking circular towers, with their rough walls, con-
trast strangely with the more beautiful niasonry of the
ujassive walls of tlie immense structure in their rear,
known as the Great Senunary. iet we honor the
" Gentlemen of the Seminary ^' lor the feelingn which
liave prompted them to retain tliese old landnjarks.
For ever ti century and a half have these towers
withstood the assaults of time, and in their early
history they served to guard the entrance within the
wall wiiich surrounded the old '* Maison des Pretres,^'
as the first building was called. - AVithinJ thcvse towers
have gathered some of the early priests, and their
Indian converts, looking anxiously towards the dark
forest by wliich they wf re surrounded, expecting, yet
dreading, the ap})earance of the treacherous and
savage foe. Here, alao, the gentle Marguerite JiMur|;€ois

has sat, and taught the young Indian girl?, ani
endeavored to impart to them eome of that z(»al which
Mred her own heart. How changed ia t le pcene I Now,
villa ami mansion surround the spot, and there is

The Gentlemen of the Seminary finding that they
required greater facilities for ca ryingon their educa-
tional 8chem.es deternnned to take down the old build-
ings on the farm, and erect on their site, others of
sufficient capacity for the accommo<iation of all the
students of the various city establishments. The
magnificent pile of cut ^tone buildings now occupied by
them is the result. This college is under the direction
of a superior, who is assisted in his duties by one hun-
dred and twenty-five Seminaires.

Having passed tlie "Seminary" we arrive at the
corner of Guy-street, and here, the second road (spoken
of by us as branching oli'frou) Cote des Neiges Village)
enters the city.

As we desire our frietwls to see and know all about
our city environs, we *dmll noti*.'e the f)()ints ot' interest
along this roarl Starting frotn ("ote des Neiges ViU.
lane we soon arrive at the entrance to tlie

ROMAN CATHOLIC CKMETEHY.

The burial ground u;-e<l by tlic fir^t French settlers,
wa* ne^ir the point knov/n a.^ Point a ('nlliere. The
cemetery whs afterwards attached to the French Cttthr-
dral, and occupied the spju-e where the present church
stands, as well as a portion of the Place d'Armes, ex-
terMJing down St. James-etreet and Notre-Darrje. As
this part of the town became more valuable for

building pnrpoBei?, the Fabrique appropriated for a
cemetery the large plot of ground in the St. Antoine
suburbs — now Doniinion-fiqnare. In 1853 the Fabrique
purchased the present property, one hundred and fifty
arpents of land, and laid the sanie out afi a cemetery.

This m known as the Roman Catholic Cemetery. It
1*8 neatly laid out, and contains several handsome tombs
and monumenta. Among the latter, the mosit prom-
inent is that erected to the memory of the French Can-
adians who fell during the Hiebellion of 1^37-88. It is
of octagonal form, 60 feet high and 60 feet in circum-
Cerence at the base^ Below it and running to the centre
of the foundation are four vaults . The pedestal m
formed of four large panels highly polished and bearing
the several inscriptions. The whole is built of Montreal
stone.

The area of the cemetery has been coneiderablj
increased by the addition of land purchai=^^ed since 1863^
and although t3ie landscape scenery is not so beautiful
ae in the adjoining Protestant cenietery, yet it is well
worthy of a visit.

iieaving the cemetery, find proceeding towards the
City, we notice, to our right, in a large (ield, tlie ruins of
a snmll stone house. I'luere are no beauties displayed
either in these ruins, or the landscape immediatelv sur-
rounding them, Still there m a history attached to
this site. In H,n old log house wliich stood against
these walls, an event trar; spired whicli changed the
whole current of Canadian l»istory. On September the
8th, 1700, the lields which no^v so peacefully lie before
us, were occu|)ied by an army ofBrilish Soldii'Ts — one
wing olthf force despatched lo strike tlie la«t blow at
French rule in America. Jn the old house sat the

leader, thorghtfully engaged in reading a docnnunt
which lay before him, and gathered around him were
men, whose names, then well known in riilitary life,
have since been ** emblazoned on the scroll of fame/'
There, also stood other men, equally brave, and deserv-
ing of honor, but a^air^st whom the tide of victory had
turned. The Englisn Commander, was Amherst and the
French, Vaudreuil. and here it was that the capitulation
of Montreal was signed and the cession of Canada com-
pleted.

Going down Guy-street we arrive at St. Antoine-street,
id a point near a very neat square, known as Richmond
Square, on one side of which is a large stone building
known as the ** Bethlehem Asylum," under the direc-
tion of the Grey Nuns. This building was erected by
Ex-Mayox' Rodier, and presented by hnii to the Sister-
hood.

On this square is also situated the Protestant Infants'
Home.

Standing in Richmond Square, and looking towards
liie west, we notice upon tlie brow of a commanding
elevation, overlooking the Sqjiare, a fine building orna-
mented wit!i massive stone pillars. Tliis is known as
the Convent of Mount St. Mary. From the top of a
fliglit of stone steps leading to the niain entrance, a fine
view of the Victoria Bridge, with part of the city, and
Burrounding country, n) ay i)e obtained. The building
was originiiliy erected for a Baptist College, but has
more recently been occupied by the St. Patrick's Hos-
pital, and is now used as a ladies' boarding school, under
thedirwtion of the Congregational Nuns.

The entrance to the building is from Ciiiy-.^treet, along
whic!j W42 ehall now continue our way, and reaching

DoreK^fter-fitrpet, wc have Ytefore us one of **tjf^ irf'f'

female portion, never fail to visit. The immertse stot
biiiMing, which with its grounds occupies the whoU
extent of Giiy-stroet, from where we rjow stand, up to
St. Catherine-street, is the Grey Nunnery, one of the
olfiest religious establishments in Montreal.

A society was formH bj Madame de Youville, a lady
of position, and a numl:>er of others, in 1737 to unite
in works of charity, to live by tlielr own in<bjstry,
and place their revenii'^s in one common fund. Having
procured a house in the city they took with tliem six

Madame Vnuvillc bi'ifig rrM'ogfii/:ed as ^r*perior of the
little connnnnity. These ladies acccptfd the charge of
the lu^Mpital in 1717, mid in August of the /-uiim' year
look possesnion of the building, taking with them nine
poor pprsoiiH who had fornu'rly been under their care,
ntid fcnir others whom they foun(l in their new residence.
The (iebts which had been incurrecl by the previous
body were li(|uidated by Madame Youvillo, from her
own private funds, on condition that 'iho should bo
regularly appoi!ite(l manager of the institution. Accord-
ingly, by letters patent, dated .'Ird of June, 1853, she
was legally authorized to establish the community, and
carry out her designs. Asnisted by tl'.e generosity of
the benevolent who came forwanl to aid the |»ions
undertakijig the hospital soon extended its benelits to

f persons of all ages, and in a short time no less than ono
lundred persons were receiving assistance and support.
In the year I7ii5a lurther extension was made in
the plans of the hospital, by the admission of found-

^j^^

lings. This was caused by a circumstance which pre-
sented itseh^one winter day to Madame Youville, as she

as going into the town on business. Passing by a
rtream (now covered by St. Ann's market and Com-
niissioners-street) she observed the body of an infant
with a poignard sticking in its throat, and one of its
little hands raised through the ice. Her benevolent
feelings were dreadfully shocked, and after consulting
with her associates, i\\ey determined that, to prevent
us much as possible the recurrence of such deeds, they
would extend their charity to orphans and foundlings.

Additions to the oid building were made from time
to time, but the growth of the city had rendered the site
very unsuitable, and accordingly tlie present lar^e
buildings were erected. The chap.l and jK)rtiOnsof the
(unvent may be eeeii by visitors any day except Sunday
or holidays.

Die iilwlerH liave built an exlenMJve addition to the
firemises, among which Jm a rhapel 202 lieet . length.
The walls are 75 ff^et high, and the mason work of the
lower 10(5 feet. There are 21 cast-iron pill rs, 10 of
which stand in two rows supporting the ro<jf; iUvne are
f great size and very ornamental. A wing extends 140
teet beyond the chapel, an<l another running trans-
versely to it 125 feet.

Having inspected this building we leave Guy-street.
Oa returning towards the centre of the city, by St.
Catherine-street, at the corner of Macktiy-street we
ia88 the Church of St. J awes thk Apostle. It i#
'uilt in the Gothic style, with dark Montreal stone,
liummer dressed ; the length is 115 feet, tlie width 45
li'et, and the height from floor to apex of the roof is 60
leet. According to its present " i, it wUl seat 550,

(.)

but finished as contemplated it will accommodate 900
persons,, The tower was built at the expense of $8,000,
by Mrs. Charles Phillips (as a memorial of a deceased
brother).

At the corner of Mountain street is the Curling Rink
owned by the Caledonia Club, which was opened by
H. R. H. Prince Arthur during his visit to the city.
A short distance further on is the Rink of the Montreal
Curling Club.

Continuing our course, as we approach Peel-street
we pass the Montreal Protestant Orphan Asylum,
a stone building of neat appearance, with pleasant
grounds attached. Children are not allowed to leave
the asylum before the age of 8 or 9 years, except when
adopted into respectable families. The orphans are
instructed in the rudiments of a religious and useful
English education ; and the girls, in addition to needle
work, are early taught the domestic duties of the es-
tablishment.

At the corner of Peel-street stands the Erskink
Church (Presbyterian.) This building is 136 leet by
79 feet ; height of the side walls 49 feet ; from the ground
to apex of the roof 82 feet. In front of the church, in
the centre, is a tower 18 feet 6 inches square, sur-
mounted by a spire, the height of which from the
ground to top is 196 feet. The walls are of rough
Montreal stone, in small courses, the sides of the win-
dows, doors, buttresses, tower, &c., being of cut stone.
Tlie windows are pointed throughout, with tracery
heads. There are tlir'P entrances in front, the centre
one being 13 feet wide and 32 feet high There are also
two entrancee in rear of the church. The building ac-
eomipodates about 1,300 per&ons.

We now leave Si. Catherine-street and descend to'
Durchester-street, passing by the side of ** Dominion
Square, at the corner of which is the Windsor Hotel.
a well kept and well patronized house. At this point
we pause, and looking round tind ourselves surrounded
o!i every hand with cliurches and public buildings. On
the corner of Dorchester and Peel-street stands the
DoRCHKSTER Street Wesleyan Ohurch. The style of
architecture is English Gothic of the 13th century. The
walls are stone, the plain surtace being natural faced
work, while the windows and door jambs are of cut
stone. The tower is in the centre of the front, project-
ing boldly from the building, and is of stone up to the
base of the sbire, which is enriched by pinnacles and
canopies. The total height of tower and spire is 170
feet. The windows have pointed arches, with traversed
heads of different designs. There are four entrances,
the principal one being a massive and lofty stone porch
in front of the tower, and has deeply recessed jambs
with three columns on each side, and richly moulded
pointed arch with gable. The interior of the church
has a lobby extending wholly across the front, and the
pews are arranged on a plan radiating from the pulpit.
The roof is opert nearly to the apex, showing the Gotliic
arched timbers, which are finished in oak, the principals
springing from Ohio stone triple-columned corbels at
the walls. The basement is lofiy, wholly above the
ground, and is divided into lecture and class rooms.
The sessions uf the Wesleyan Theological College are
held in this Church.

Adjoiningihe " Windsor" is the newly erected Stan-
ley Street Preskyterian Church, a plain hni neat
edifice, built of white pressed brick. This church iiaa

been built by members of the Presbyterian Body who
oppose the use of the ortran in their service. Opposite
to this church is the Victoria Skating Rink. Tlie
building is of brick, and is 250 feet long by 100 broad.
It IS covered by a semi-circular arch-like roof, fifty
feet high in the centre, constructed to give an apparent
lightness of effect, combined with great strength.

While this building extends to Stanley-street, the
public entrance is on Drummond-street.

At the corner of Druniniond and Dorchester-streets
is the American Presbyterian Church. This build-
ing is an exact copy of Park Church, in Brooklyn,
New York, and has a massive appearance, yet without
any great pretension to architectural beauty, no
particular style beingapplied in thedesign. Its length
over all is 144 feet, and the width 86 leet. The ceil-
ing is forty-four feet from the floor. The front
elevation, on Dorchester-street, has two towers, one at
each angle, the one on the south-west corner being
finished with a spire rising to a height of 200 feet
above the street, the other being finished square m
about 80 ieet high. The auditorium is DO feet long, by
76 feet wide, and will seat 1200 persons. There is no
basement, hence the lecture and school rooms are in
the rear portion of the building-, and are each i)0 feet
by 30 feet wide. All the pews on the ground floor have
a curved form, so that the minister can everywhere be
seen without the listener sitting in an uneasy posture.
Farther west on the opposite side of the street is the
Crescent Street Church (Preshyterian) an imjKjsing
edifice of the Gothic French style. It has a fine front
with three portals, deeply recessed and moulded. The
tower and spire have a graceful appearance, and are

217 feet in height. Not far from this, at the corner of
^fountain and Osborne streets, is the Olivet Baptist
Chnrch, a beautiful building of Gothic style.

Passing down Peel-street, at the corner of Osborne-
atreet stands St. George's Church (Episcopal), a
very beautiful edifice, built of Montreal stone, Ohio
sandstone being used for the decorative parts. Every-
thing al)Out it is solid as well as tasteful, useful as
well as ornamental, uMnle to endure as well as to
delight. The massive Gothic entrance, attractive and
lieautiful, though without any profusion of ornament,
with the modest symbols of church and crown, strong
ill their inherent right, is an excellent vestibule to a
church which bears the name of England's patron
sjiint. On entering, the attention is at once engaged
with the spaciousness of the edifice. It is cruciforu),
und the transepts add greatly to its capacity. The
roof, stained and varnished, is lofty, and gives an air
of venerable majesty to the whole in.erior.

The church accommodates 1,800 persons. The schools
intended for this church are built on the same lot, front-
ing upon Stanley street, and consist of day schools,
with class rooms on ground floor, with large room on
(irst floor 86 by 42. The buihlings are of Montreal
>tone, roofs covered with slate.

Standirvg by the side of the church, and looking
across Dominion-square, we notice a lofty brick
structure, devoid of ornamentation, even of the
skimpiest nature. This is the Roman Catholic Bishop's
residence, or, as it is called by courtesy, the Bishop's
Palace. A wing at the rear is at present used as the
Bishop's church. A few years more, and this will
cease to be occupied as such, for we now pass lofty and

massive walls of masonry, which are part of nn
iininense ecclesiastical structure, which, when coiii-
pleted, will surpass all others in America, and is to Ix''
called The Canadian **St. Peter's."

This Cathedral stands at the corner of Dorcheptor
and Cathedral streets, and near the foot of the latter is
the St. Joseph's Church and Orphan Asylun» (Roman
Catholic.

A fiew paces beyond Cathedral street, on Bonaventnro
street, is the Grand Trunk R. R. Passenger Station, a
venerable building, soon, it is hoped, to give place to a
structure more worthy of a visit.

We shall, however, proceed along Dorchester street.
At the corner of Mansfield is Knox Church (Presby-
terian). This church is in the early English style df
Gothic architecture, and consists of a nave, side aisles,
and a pulpit recess.

Passing one block, we next arrive at St. Paui/s
Church (Presbyterian.) For size, beauty and con-
venience, this is one of the most important of our city
churches. It is cruciform in plan, stained windows,
and the usual accessories of Gothic arcliitecture. The
capacity of tlie buihiing is that of 1000 sittings — there
are no galleries, except one for the organ and choir.
There is a basement under the whole area of the church,
divided into lecture rooms and school rooms, with the
necessary adjuncts to eacli. The walls to the level of
the base are constructed of Montreal limestone ; the
superstructure is faced with similar material, haviiii:
the natural surface of the stone exposed to view ; the
weatherings, groins, pinnacles, and all the ornamental
parts of the work are of Ohio sandstone. The roof is
covered with slate from the Melbourne quarries.

At tlie corner of Dorchester and Universitv Ptreets is

the St. James Club House, a handeoMie building.

Across Dorchester street is the New Jerusalem Chukch,

a neat brick building, with stores in the lower portion

[hereof.

At the foot of University street are the buildings of
tlje McGiLL Normal and Model Schools. These are
built of stone, the style of architecture, carrying us
back in fancy to the time of the Tudors. They front
on Belmont street, and were originally erected for a
High School. These buildings, as well as the name of
the street, suggest mention of the principal educational
institution in the city, McGillCollecje, the grounds of
which are at the head of the street. It was tbunded by
James McGill, Esq., a merchant of Montreal, who died
on the 19th December, 1813, at the age of sixtv-nine years.
Not having any children, he determined to cfe vote a large
portion of his fortune to some object of t ^nevolence con-
nected with his adopted country ; and in his last will,
made two years before his decease, he set apart his
beautifully situated estate of Burriside, on the slope of
tlie Montreal Mountain, with a sum of £40,000, for the
tbundation of a university, one of the colleges of which
was to be named the McGill College.

The college is situated above Sherbrooke-street, near
the base of the mountain, and the structure consists of
u main building, three storeys in height, with two
wings, connected therewith by corridors. The wing to
the west called the " Wm. Molson Hall" was the gift
of the gentleman of that name, and consists of the
Library with Convocation Hall above it. These build-
ings and corridors, which are buili of Montreal lime-
stone, contain the cl»ss rooms of the Faculty of Arts,

and librar}^ and the residences of the principal, the
professor in charge of tlie resident under^iraduates, and
the secretary. The library con tains over 20,000 volumes
of standard vv^orks. This number does not include tiie
library of the Medical Faculty, which contains upwards
of 5,000 volumes. The nuiseum was tbrmerly in these
buildings also, and contained a general collection of
type specimens of Zoology ; the Carpenter collection of
shells, presented by Dr. P. P. Carpenter to the Univer-
sity ; the Carpenter c<„>llection of Mazatlan shells; the
Cooper collection of 2,400 Canadian insects ; a collec-
tion of Canadian frewh water ar.d land shells, aLso
Botanical, Geological arid Mineralogical speciniens ;
models in mining and engineering and the philoso-
phical apparatus with a Chemical laboratory furnished
with all tlie necessary appliances. All of which weie
removed to the Peier fttDrATH Museum, a beautiful
donation to the university from Mr. Kedpath.

At the west end of the college building is situated the
observatory, the basement of which is devoted entirely
to the observations on Terrestrial Magnetism, 'ihe
ground storey and leaJs are devoted to Meteorological
observations. The transit tower is for the purpose of
furnishing time to the city and to the ships in ttie har-
bor, and is connected by electric telegraph with u
** Time Ball " at the wharf.

At tiie eastern end of the college is the building
erected for the Medical Department. This is a fine stone
structure, 4 storeys in height, erected in 1872 at a cost
of about 130,000.

Adjoining the grounds of the College (to the West)
and opening on McTavish-street stands the Prksby-
TfiRiiiN Coi^LKGE, a handsome structure recently erected;

and occupying an elevated site. It is built in a style
of architecture unlike the majority of public edifices in
Montreal, and at once commands attention. It is con-
structed of Montreal stone, and, beside the usual
class rooms, library, (fee, there are also dormitories for
the students, and the western wing provides a residence
for the principal. A handsome building has been
recently added to the college by the benefaction of Mr.
David Morrice, and comprises a convocation hall and
library, dining hall, dormitories andoflices, and erected
at a cost of upwards of $100,000.

Jmn)ediately behind this college is the distributing
reservoir of the Montreal Water Works. This is well
worthy of a visit, and the beautiiul carriage drive
around it, is at such an elevation above the city as to
furnish a very fine view. Taking our stand near the
building wherein are the appliances for letting on the
supply of water, we turn our back to the city, and
glancing upward to old Mount Royal, we see perched
hiirh above us, and standing out in bold relief against
the verdant niountain backgro\md, Ravenscrag, the
residence of the late Sir Hugh Allan.

Returning to Sherbrooke-street, we turn down Mans-
field-streei and pass The Montreal Gymnasium, a
hirge stone building, at the corner of Burnside and
Metcalfe-streets.

Entering St. Catherine-street, and turning to the east,
we pass Victoria-street, near the foot of which is the
Academy of Music, a pleasant Theatre. At the corner
of this street, extending to University -street, is a hand*
Home pile called the **^ Queen's Block," the lower part
of which is given up to shops, and the upper compris-
ing Assembly Rooms and a very handsome Concert
Hall, called the '* Queen's Hall.

Passing this block we next reach Christ Church
Cathedral (Episcopal). This church, which is
unquestionably the most beautiful specimen ot
ecclesiastical architecture in Canada, was opened
for divine service on Sunday, Noveniber 27th, ISGO.
It is of the cruciform plan, and consists of a nave and
aisles 112 feet long and 70 feet wide; transepts lOO
feet across the tower, and 25 feet wide ; tower 29 Icct
ecjuare ; and choir, 46 feet long and 28 feet wide;
Avith aisles for organ chamber. The spire, which in
entirely of stone, rises to a height of 224 feet. Con-
nected with the choir is the robing room and clerk'.s
roam, and half detached from this an octagonal build-
ing containin;^ the chapter house, and diocesan library.
Internally, tiie nave, 67 feet high, has an open roof,
the timbers of which are worked and carved. Two
ranges of columns and arches separate the nave from
the aisles* The capitals of these columns are carved,
end designed from Canadian plants. The four end
arches of the naves spring from sculptured heads,
representing the tour evangelists. The ceiling of tlie
choir is elaborately illuminated in blue and vermillion,
^and spangled with golden stars. The wlieel window on
the 8t. Catherine-street front is in colored glass [the
gift of the School children] and also the four smnll
windows underneath, representing the four major pro-
phets ; the whole of the windows in the clerestory of
the choir are in colored glass. The altar wiridow is of
the most chawte and elegant description. The transept
windows and the windows in the end of the aisles are
also of painted glass. The pews are all low, with carved
ends and without doors. The stalls in each side of the
choir are finely carved. The reredos ia laid with

»3

encaustic tiles, chocolate-colored ground, mthjleur de
lis in green. On one side of the altar are the suiiiia for
the clergy, of exouisite workmanship. Three arched
canopies, on polished stone columns, support the seats.
At either sides are busts of the Queen and of the late
Bishop of the Diocese. Over the arches is carved, and
the letters illuminated, " Oh, worship the Lord in the
beauty of holiness." The font is a beautiful specimen
of stone carving executed in England. The organ is by
Hill of London and ' ^ the finest in the city ; and the
clock and bells are a'so of English manufacture. The
edifice is built of Montreal limestone, with dressings of
stone imported expressly Irom Caen in Normandy.
The entrance porch, on St. Catherine-street, is beauti-
fully carved.

On the eastern side of the Cathedral grounds stands
tlie ** Fulford Memorial," a beautiful carved monument
of Caen stone, erected in memory of the late Metropoli-
tan. In rear of the Cathedral, on University street, is
the See-house, a brick structure, of suitable style of
architecture, and alongside of this, but on (Jnion
Avenue, is the Bishop's residence, a very elegant struc-
ture, in Montreal stone, w'th dressing similar to that of
the Cathedral.

A short distance below the Cathedral, on University-
street is the Natural History Society's Museum. It
iB built of white brick. On the ground floor is the
lecture room, library, committee room, and residence
of the keeper. The second storey, which is about 36
feet in height, contains the museum, which is sur-
rounded by a gallery and lighted by skylights. The
principal attraction m the galleries is the Ferrier col-
lection of Egyptian and other antiquities ^ collected by

I'll H*

Hon. James Ferrier, during a tour in the East, and
presented by him to the Society.

Continuing along St. Catherine-street, we pass by the
upper side of PhilTips-square at the corner of \vhich is
the building of the Art Association, which may be
said to owe its existence to the generosity of the late
Benaiah Gibb, who gave the site of the building with a
large donation in money and his fine collection of
paintings towards the object.

At the corner of City Councillors-street stands the
St. Catherine-Street Baptist Church. Its dimen-
sions are, length 114 feet, width 72 feet. T\,e Sunday
school occupies the lower portion of the building,
which is entirely above ground, with a ceiling 15 feet
high, and furnishes accommodation for one thousand
scholars. The church proper is 60 by 72 feet, witii
accommodation for 800. The building is entirely ol
Montreal stone, rock finished, with dressed facings.

Nearly opposite this is the new Zion Church, which,
after the sale of the old church on Beaver Hall, the
congregation leased ; it having been built for the Rev.
Mr. Roy of the Independent Wesleyans.

Driving up City Councillors-street, we turn into Ber- 1 of the
thelot-street, and visit the building owned and occupied I the sta
by the Ladies' Benevolent Society. A nociety having! The
this name was formed in 1815. It was dissolved in I ing the
1822, but was again instituted in the year 18H2, after| Beneat
the first visitation of the cholera, and had for its object
originally the relief of the widows, and fatherless
children, left destitute by that awful pestilence.

The main building is a large 3 storey stone edifice,
standing somewhat back from the street, and sur-joccupie
rounded by beautiful sliade trees. Increased acconimo- opposite

dation has been gained by the construction of a hand-
some stone wing to the east of the building, which has
received the name of ihe " Princess Louise."

Returning to Pliillip's Square, we pass anotjjer
Square, which we see in front ol' us, called Beaver Hall,
at one time the fashionable part of the town, but now
given up to doctors and dentists, and keeping on our
way down the hill of that name, we come to St.
Andrew's Church, at the corner of Belmont Street,
which was opened for worship in January, 1851. It is
fomewhat alter the style of the celebrated Salisbury
Cathedral. It is built of Montreal stone, with a tower
surmounted by a' spire, whicli rise.s to a height of 180
leet from the ground. The entrances to the church, by
the tower, on Palace-street, are from a flight of steps,
and a terrace on each side ; while at the upper end (on
Behnont-street) is another entrance. The interior is
lofty and imposing, and the ceiling, which is spanned
by open timber work, painted to imitate oak, rises in
the centre to a height of 46 feet, and is in strict accor-
dance with the style of the building. The gallery fronts
and the pulpit are of rich Gothic vvork ; and the effect
of the whole is heightened by the light passing through
the stained ^lass wmdows.

The interior dimensions are 90 feet bv 65 feet, includ-
ing the transept. It will acconnnodate 960 persons.
Beneath the churcji are school and lecture rooms, up-
wards of 60 feet square and 16 feet high, which are
entered by an arched door in the base of the tower.
The beauty of the style of this building, ito admirable
proportions, and tlie commanding position which it
occupies, njake it an ornament to the city. On the
opposite side of Beaver Hall is the CauRCU of tub

11'

Messiah (Unitarian.) The style of architecture h the
Byzantine, effective in character. The tower is 17 feet
square, and when complete will be about 120 feet high.
A broad flight of stone steps at the base of the tower
leads to the eastern entrance of the building, which,
however, is not used at present, the entrance being on
Beaver Hall side. Over this door is a large rose win-
dow, and in the chancel a window of a highly decora-
tive character, both of which are filled with stained
glass. Accommodation is afforded for over 800 per-
sons.

On the lo,/3r cornerof Palace-street and Beaver Hall
hill is the First Baptist Church. The church first
erected by this congregation stood on St. Helen-street.
It was of cut stone, and capable of seating about 400.
The cost of its erection was £1,200, including the land
on which it was built. Many additions and improve-
ments were made to the building, and finally, in 1860,
it was sold, and a site on Beaver Hall was purchased,
upon which to erect tlie present edifice. The present
building is in the early English Gothic style sur-
mounted by a tower, and is built entirely of stone,
rock- faced with cut stone dressings, the roof being
covered with purple and green slate, in ornamental
patterns. The edifice is 55 feet wide by 80 deep, with
a projection of ten feet in front and e'lgat feet ni rear,
and consists of two departments, t^e main audience-
room, or church, and the lecture room, or basement.
The main portion of the building is 40 feet in height
from the floor to the centre of the vaulted building ; it
is arranged with galleries to accommodate an audience
of about 1,000. There are three entrances, two in
front and one on the east side of the building.

I'urning on to Palace-atreet, and beyond the Unitar-
ian Church we pass a large stone building — the St.
Bridget's House of Refuge. From this building to the
corner of St. Alexander-street, a beautiful iron railing,
with massive stone pillars enclose the well kept grounds
attached to St. Patrick's Church. The church stands
on an elevated site, several hundred feet distant from
Palace-street, and access is more generally had to it
from St. Alexander-street. It is one of the most strik-
ing objects visible on approaching the city. It is built
in the Gothic style of the fifte*^nth century. The ex-
treme length is 240 feet, the breadth 90 feet, and the
Ijeight of spire from the pavement is 225 feet. The
interior of the building is moat elaborately decorated,
and the altar presents a gorgeous appearance. The
church will seat about 5,000 persons.

In rear of this building is the St. Patrick's Orphan
Asylum.

Returning to Beaver Hall Hill and driving down St.
Radegonde-street, by which name, the continuation of
the street is known, we pass the building formerly
known asZion Congregational Church, now used by the
Reformed Jews as a Synagogue, and in front of which
there are now stores.

We now pass by a portion of Victoria Square, and
reaching Craig-street our attention is at once directed
to a handsome building forming the corner of Craig and
St. Radegonde-streets. This is the Young Men's
Christian ^^sociation Building. The building,
situated on the corner of Craig and St. Radegonde-
Htreets, is one of the finest in tlie city. Tlie style is
the mediaeval or decorated Gothic. The foundation
and some four feet of the base is of Montreal limestone,

but the superstructure is of Moutrea] stone with Ohio
sandstone dressings. In its design the building has one
feature, distinguishing it from every other secular or
ecclesiastico-secular structure in the City, namely, a
richly crocketted spire, springing from adwarf arcaded
tower, on the corner facing Craig and St. Radegonde-
streets. The effect is striking, and highly fiavorable.

Victoria-Squabe was formerly known as Commis-
sioners-square, and was then devoid of any ornament,
and so neglected that it tended much to mar the appear-
ance of that part of the city in which it is situated. In
the centre of the square stood a fire engine house (the
Union,) which was removed about the time of the
visit of the Prince of Wales. The name of the square
was changed by the Council at a meeting held shortly
before the visit of the Prince (1860).

On the McGill-street end of Victoria-sqnare stands
th3 Statue of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. This
work of art (procured by a subscription among the
citizens) is from the studio of Mr. Marshall Wood, and
was formally presented to the city by H. E. the
Governor General, on the 21st November, 1872. The
cost of the statue was about $1^,000, — together with
the pedestal, the latter the gift of the Corporation.

Facing the statue, and on the opposite side of the
street, are the Albert Buildings, a beautiful block
of warehouses, probably not excelled by any in the
Dominion, occupied by Thos. May & Co., and the
Co-operative Association.

Here we would direct the tourist to the beautiful view
from this point, looking towards *' Mount Royal." A
more exquisite picture could not be desired, and we
question whether any other city could furnish a finer.

We have now arrived at our starting point, but we
would tecommend our reader before leaving Montreal
to take the G.T.R. train or drive out and see one of
the greatest engineering feats of modern times
designed by R. Stephenson, the eminent engineer, The
Victoria Bridge at Point St. Charles.

This great work wascoujpleted in 1860, and isnearlv
two miles in length (9084 ft.) being used only for rail-
way transit. It is supported by 24 piers, the central
span being 550 feet, and 60 feet hign, the remaining
piers being 242 feet, with massive abutments. The
bridge tube is of iron, 22 feet liigh by 16 wide, lessen-
ing at the ends. It was erected at a cost of $6,800,000.
Three million cubic feet of masonry and ten thousand
tons of iron enter into the construction of this massive
work. The river beneath the bridge has a very swift
current, and the piers are calculated to withstand
immense pressure from descending masses of ice.

Presuming that the traveller intends visiting Quebec
after seeing Montreal, and that he wilftake one of the
steamers of theR. and 0. Navigation Company we must
inform him that he will find on board of each of them a
most complete book, fancy goods and Indian curiosity
bazaar, containing the largest assortnient of tourists'
requisites to be seen anywhere, with all the latest
novelties of the day always kept on hand. Stereoscopic
views rind photos are a fipecialty i also unmounted
plate views in all sizes and descriptions. The Indian
curiosity department is unequalled for workmanship,
style and value, and we can recommend tourists to
take advantage of the bargains in these articles offered
them as, by purchasing on the Steamer, the inconve-
ience and trouble of hampering themselves with pur-
chases of this kind when sight-seeing will be obviated

Umti

and they will be saved the commission on purchas^^
paid to parties who appf^ r to be disinterested.

The stand on the steamer " Quebec" is managed by
J. C. King, Advertisinj; Agent to the Strangers' Guide
of Montreal and Quebec, and that on the Steamer
"Montreal" by W. H. Fmk.

ST. HELEN'S ISLAND.

If the tourist desires to enjoy a day's pleasure out-
side of the city he cannot do better than take the
ferry steamer, and cross to this beautiful island
yingf opposite the city. This Island has for
nearly 200 years been an important military post.
Under the French, it was a strongly fortified place, and
even at present the defences are not to be despised. It
is truly a beautiful island, and even when it was occii
pied by the Imperial troops, were it not for the white
tents seen among the trees, no one wc-uld ever have
suspected it to be a strong military post. The Island
has been virtually handed over to the civic authorities
to be used as a public park^ for which it is admirably
adapted. The Island received its name from the beauti-
ful and devoted wife of Champlain> wlio by her kindness
so won the hearts and affections o^ the Indians. It is
said that, in accordance with the custom of the day,
she carried a small mirror suspended from her neck,
and the Indians seeing themselves therein went to their
homes delighted that the beautiful pale-faced lady car-
ried their likeness on her heart.

From St. Helen's Island a beautiful view of the city
can be obtained. Its massive buildings, and its exten-
sive wharves forming a decided contrast to the view

102

presented to the French sentry as he paced to and fro
in the olden time. The low niuddv beach, the ancient
walls, Citadel Hill, the old Parish Church of Ville
Marie, have passed away, and, with exception of the
Bonsecoure Church or the riverside, ana old Mount
Royal in the background, all is changed.

MOUNT ROYAL PARK.

The Mountain Park covers 480 acres, and was
acquired by the city in 1874. It is reached by roads
from Peel and Bleury Streets, and for pedestrians by
the steps from the head of Peel or University Streets.
It is under the control of three commissioners, mem-
bcrs of the City Council, who secured the professional
assistance of Mr. Freiierick Law Olmstead, of New
York, a gentleman of great artistic taste and wide
experience in landscape gardening. Under his advice
the park has, ^br the most part, been laid out, as far
as it has been laid out at all. In reality very little has
been done excepting the construction of roa3s. In an
admirable little book written by Mr. Olmstead upon
the subject of the artistic development of this property,
he shows that it is only by following in the lines which
nature has already laid down, and by bringing the
natural beauties of the place fully to ligut by the
resources of art, that the most can be. made of its
wonderful poseibilities. Mr. Oln^stead says of it: —

** Among properties of its classes your mountain
possesses one marked advantage over all others. I
mean that of noble landscapes extending far beyond its
borders. These are of auch extent and so composed,
and their foregrounds, within the property, are to be so
easily adapted to iacrease their value ; their interest is
so varied according to the direction of the outlook, and

103

the passlmg effects of clouds and atmospheric conditioup,
that it is not only impossible lo speak of them in ade-
quate terms of admiration, but, trying to take a busi-
ness estimate of them, and seeking standard of
comparison for the purpose, it will be found tliat tlie
best that other communities have been able to obtaii>
by expenditures counting in millions of dollars, ic really
loo insignificant to be available for the purpose. '*

The views over the surrounding country are indeed
exceedingly fine. On the south is the level prairie
dotted with villages, from Laprairie, in the distant bay
on the right, to Varennes. The mountains rising
abruptly from the plain are, commencing from the west,
Monnoir, or Mount Johnson, Sheflfbrd, Rougemont
with the Yamaska Mountain behind it, Belceil and
Montarville. In the remote distances ar»9 the Adiron-
dacka in New York, and the Green Mountains in Ver-
mont. From the east end the spectator looks dOiH^n the
valley of the St. Lawrence, and may see to the left the
course of Kiviere-des-Prairies to its junction below the
island ; far off on the left are the Lauren tian Hills.
But thoroughly to enjoy the beauties of the Mountain
Park the tourist shall follow the road across the Glades
westwards already mentioned, and cross the Protestant
Cemetery to the Belvedere conspicuous on the western
summit. From that point the lower valley of the
Ottawa opens out. The Lake of Two Mountafns, Lake
St. Louis, the two northern mouths of the Ottawa, and
the fertileisland of Montreal, are spread out aeon a map.

Other drives of interest are that to Lachine going by
the Upper Road and reluming by the Lower. The
scenery is charuiinst, and the rapids oi' Sault St. Louis,
are in full view. The Aqueduct and wl eelhouse on the
way are worth seeing.

101

Drive to Back River, 6 miles from Montreal, is a
pleasant, one. The Convent of the Sacred Heart, the
Palace of the Archbishop of Montreal, and Jesuits*
College, are situated here.

QUEBEC zVND ITS ENVIRONS.

Having landed, odr first course is t6 proceed to a

hotel. We can recommend the St. Louis, owned by
the Russell Hotel Co., and managed by Lewis Russell
a veteran hotelkeeper. The Albion, managed by L. M.
Blouin, is also a comfortable house.

Quebec, until recently the capital of United Canada,
is situated on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, in
lat. 46 deg. 48 min. north, and long. 71 deg. 15 min.
west from Greenwich. It was founded by Champlain,
in 1608, on the site of an Indian village, called Stada-
cona. It is the Fecond city in the Province, and has a
population of about 65,000. The form of the city is
nearlv that of a triangle, the Plains of Abraham form-
ing the base, and the Rivers St. Lawrence and Si.
Charles, the sides. It is divided into two parts — Upper
and Lower Towns. The Upper Town is strongly forti-
fied, and includes within its limits the Citadel of Cape
Diamond, which is the most formidable fortress in
America. The Lower Town is built upon a narrow
strip of land which runs at the base of the Cape, and
of the high grounds upon which Upper Town stands ;

along the River St. Charles, and to the Plains of Abra-
ham. Quebec was taken by the British and Colonial
ibrces in 1629, but restored to France in 1722. It was
finally captured by Wolfie in 1769, and, together with all
the French possessions in North America, was ceded
to Great Britain by the treaty of 1763.

Quebec, including the City and suburbs, contains
174 streets, among the principal of which are the fol-
lowing : St. John Street^ which extends from Fabrique
street to St. John's Gate is the Upper Town, and is
occupied chiefly by retail stores; St. Louis Street^ a
handsome and well-built street, extending from the
Place d'Armes to the old St. Louis Gate, and occupied
principally by lawyers*^ offices and private dwellings.
DAuteuil Street i&ces the Esplanade and the grounds
where the military were drilled, and is an elegant street
mostly of private dwellings ; Grand AlUe or St. Louis
Eoady outside St. Louis Gate, and leading to the Plains
of Abraham, is a pleasant and beautiTul stireet, on
which are many elegant villa residences; St. John
^SYree]^ without, is also a fine street, occupied iy shops
and private dwellings.

Having obtained a general idea of the topography of
the town, we sjiall make the Tejirace our startmg-
point in sight-peeing, the eastern part of which is called
the Durham Terrace and the western the Dufferin
Terrace, and from which the visitor will on a clear
day be treated to one of the finest views to be seen
in any part of the world. The promenade is about a
quarter of a mile in length, and gives to the lover of
exercise unrivalled opportunities of exercise. There
are on it five kiosks named respectively Plessis, Fron
tenac, Lome and Louise, Dutl'erin and Victoria, and
one for the use of bands of music in the summer after-
noons and evenings. Being at an elevation of over two
hundred feet, a magnificent panorama stretches beneath
one, which at the first sight is most dazzling. The

from such a hei<5ht appears but a speck, to the terraced
palace river boat and the huge ocean steamships, flows
majestically downward to the sea. Opposite, in the
distance, is the town of Levis, crowning cliffs as high
as those of Quebec, and where may be seen the three
immense forts erected by the English governinent at a
cost of $900,000, which render an attack from the south
a serious matter. Amid the groups of houses are
distinguishable churches, convents and schools, while
downwards is seen the spire of the Church of St. Joseph
clustered round by a number of villas and cottages, and
jutting out into the river, the promontory called Indian
Point, once dotted by the wigwams of the MicMacs but
now left desolate, is partially inhabited by French
Canadians. Towards the east is the Island of Orleans,
once called the Isle de Bacchus, from the quantity of
grapes then so luxurious of growth, but now no more,
and again lisle des Sorci^res, on account of the bad
repute it had gained it* refei^nce to evil epirits and
ghoets, which infested th^ island iii times past. On
either side, the St. Lawrence passes onward under the
names of the North and South Channels. On the
north shore, forty miles in the distance, frowns Cap
Tourment ; while, as the eye follows upwards, along
the shore are the villages of St. Anne, IM bonne Sie.
Anne, aa lovingly called by the villagers, Chateau
Richer, L'Ange Gardien and Beauport. Nearly
opposite the end of the Island is the indentation where
rush forever the Falls of Montmorency over the preci-
pice, and from which rises a pillar of fleecy mist. Inthe
rear of all these lower, range after range, the Lauren-
tian Mountains, till their blue summits are lost in the

its busy crowds. At the morith of the St. Charles is
the Custom House, and immediately below the Terrace
is the Champlain Market Hall. Close by is the Church
of Notre-Dame des Victoir^s, btHlt in 1615 by Cham-
plain, called first Notre-D^mc de ia Victoire to record
the defeat of Admiral William PbippI in that year ;
At the foot of the cliff^uneChttmplmh street, through
which, on the .3Ist December, ITto, Richard Montgom-
ery endeavored to Ifad an attfick on the city, but met
bis death ^ a place close by, h0w marked by a woodi?n
8ign with tlie inscription : " Here Montgomery fell."'
Beneath the steps leading from Champlain street to
Mountain Hill, called Break-neck Stairs, was discov-
ered some years ago the tomb of Champlain, His
bou"^e was in the vicinity of the Church of Notre-D^nie
des Yietoire^. Pres<K)tt ' Gate, called aft^r 'General
Prescott, and demolished in 1871, stood at the spot
where the city walls are divided, close to the foot of the
steps opposite the Parliament Buildings, recently burnt
down.

Turning our eyes citywards, we find a large building
called the Castle St. Louis, heretofore forming part
of the outhouses of the Chateau St. Louis, which was
erected V)y Champlain in 1620 where the Terrace now
is stlmdinl on the edge of the clift*, where it is
intended to build a large hotel. Here the French and
English governors resided under their respective
dominations, until its destruction by fire in 1834, at
that tiine occupied by the .governor, Lord Aylmer.
On the 31st Dec, 1775, on the occasion of the night'
attack by Montgomery and Arnold, the governor, Sir
Guy Carletoft^ was giving nball in the Castle, and the
officers had to rush to the walls in their ball costume.

Tlie garden attached to the Cattle, called the Castle
Garden, commonly known as the Lower Governor'9
Garden, is now open to the public, and forn ^ part of the
Dufferin Terraise j in it is a masked battery of lour
guns and two earronades on the Crescent battery. On
the elope towards the Place d'Armee once stood the
Riding School in connection with the Castle, and
afterwards converted into a theatre, which was
destroyed by fire in June, 1846, during a performance,
when forty-five persons were burnt to death.

In the Upper Governor's Garden is the Monument
erected to Wolfe and Montcalm, the foundation stone
of which was laid by the Earl of Balhousie, the
governor-in-chief, on the 15th May, 1827. It was
taken down and rebuilt in 1871 at the expense of a
few citizens. Upon the column are appropriate ipscrip-
tions in Latin.

In passing the gate of the building heretofore
occupied as the Normal School^ the visitor may notice
a stone which has been incorporated into the wall,
bearing the date 1647, and having a Maltese cross
cut upon it. It was the foundation-stone of the
ancient Castle of St. Louis and laid by the then
governor, M. de Montmagny, a Knight of Malta.

To the west of the Place d'Armes is the English
Cathedral, built on the ground where once stood the
ancient church of the Recollets and their Convent,
which were destroyed by fire in 1796. The present
building was consecrated in 1804; it is built in the
Roman style of architecture, and its mural monuments
are very fine. In the north-east corner of tlie
Cathedral clop once stood the venerable elm tree under
which Jacques Cartier first assembled his followers on

The Place d'Armes, where the Hurons who had
been driven from Lake Simcoe encamped in 1650,
constituted in the time of the Frenoh the Grande
Place where railitary parades were held and public
meetings called, and was the fashionable promenade of
the day.
"To the south of the Cathedral are the Rectory and
the Chapel of All Souls.

Passing to the north by Fort street we come to a
handsome building, the Post Office, erected in 1873, on
the site of the old building, which ha8,a world of
history connected with it. The famous Golden
Dog, a puzzle to so many, occupies its- old position
above the door on Buade street, just opposite the
Chien d'Or restaurant, as much resorted to in these
days as was the inn kept by Miles Prentice in former
times on the site of the Post Office when Montgomery
and Admiral Nelson frequented it. Underneath the
Golden Dog are the lines :

Je suis un chien qui ronge I'os,
En le rongeant je prends moju repos,
Un temps viendra, qui n'est past venu.
Que je mordray qui nraura mordu.

1736.

In demolishing the ancient structure, a corner-stone
was found, on which was cut a St. Andrew's cross
between the letters P. H. under the date 1736. On
this was found a piece of lead bearing the following
inscription:

Nicolas Jaqu^s,

The story in connection tlierewith is told as follows :
—In this building lived a wealthy merchant of the
nan^e of Philibert, who had many causes of complaint
against the Intendant, whose high position could not
easily be assailed by the simple merchant without
suffering severe retaliation ; He therefore satisfied his
revenue by placing the Golden Dog, with the atten-
dant hnes, above his door. Among other thing the
Intendant had organized a vast trading monopoly
which received the name of La Friponne, whose trans-
actions and dealings were most oppressive to the people,
and in this he was resisted and sometimes circum-
vented by M. Philibert. It is also said that to annoy
M. Philibert the Intendant, the infamous Bigot, quar-
tered troops upon tiie Chien d'Or. Be this as it may,
a quarrel ensued between M. Philibert and Mons. de la
Repentigny, in which the former was fatally wounded,
and the latter fled to Nova Scotia, then Acadia, till he
received his freedom from the king of France, Louis
XlV.i whereon he returned to Quebec. After the siege
of 1759, he went to Pondichery, where, meeting the
son of hia victim, he was killed by him in a duel.
'^' «re are several versions of this tradition, but the
above seems to be the most correct.

A less tragic occurrence took place a few years later
in the Chien D'Or building. Miles Prentice, who had
come out as a sergeant in the 78th Regiment, under
Wolfe, opened an inn in the building, then known as

the Masonic Hall, to whicli inn resorted all the fashion-
ables of the day, among whom was, in 1782, Captain,
afterwards Admiral, Nelson, then commanding H. M.
S. " Albemarle," of 26 ^uns. Miles Prentice liad a
niece, Miss Simpson, (laughter of Sandy Sin)pfeon,
whose charms so captivated the embryo Admiral, that
when his vessel had sailed from port, he clandestinely
returned for the purpose of wedding ** the maid of the
inn", which purpose was defeated by Mr. Alexander
Davidson, then a Quebec nverchant, who, with the
assistance of the boat's crew, forcibly carried the
amorous captain on board his vessel. This fimely
interference gained for England many a glorious naval
victory, and lost for Lady Hamilton her good name.
It was Mrs. Prentice who recognized the body of Rich-
ard Montgomery aller the ineffectual attempt of Dec.
31st, 1775. A horrible suicide is another of the inci-
dents of the Cbien d'Or.

Passing along Buade street, we come to the building
now occupied as a printing office by the Messrs. Brous-
seau, the scene of the thrilling events of 1690, recorded
in the historical romance of Frangois de Bienville, by
Mr. Marmette.

In the centre of the Square once stood The Market,
a very old world looking structure of many corners and
angles. Across to the west is a vacant space, the site
of the Jesuit Barracks, formerly the College of Jesuits,
the foundations of which were laid in 1635. The build-
ing was destroyed by fire in 1640, and again rebuilt. It
occupied the lour sides of a square, and revelled in
immense corridors and gloomy passages, while impreg-
nable vaults and cells abounded in thejground basement.

To the south of the Square is the site of the first inn^
in Quebec, kept in 1648 by one Jacoues Boisdon, then
having the sign *' Au Baril d'Or," with the added words,
^'J'en bois done." Jacques Boisdon had the right by
deed, signed by M. D'Ailleboust, Pere Lalenient, and
the SoBurs Ghavigny, Godfroi and Giffard, to serve his
guests, provided it be not during mass, the sermon,
catechism, or vespers.

'J'he French Cathedral or Basilica was consecrated
in 1666, by Monseigneur de Laval, who arrived from
France in 1659, on the 6th June, under the title of Bis-
liop of Petrea. He was the first Bishop of the colony,
but on account of failing health was ooliged to retire
from his arduous labors, and was succeeded by
Monseigueur De St. Valier. The construction of the
church in rear of the altar rails is an imitation cf St.
Peter's at Rome.

It contains many valuable paintings, and the sacred
vestments, which are among the finest in America,
may be seen on a()plication to the verger. The
building was greatly injured by the seige of 1759, and
some valuable paintings utterly destroyed.

Passing through the gute, the visitor finds himself on
the Seminary Square, on three sides of which are
erected The Seminary, which was founded in 1663 by
Mon'^eigneur de Laval. The building was destroyed by
fire on tlie I5th November, 1701, and was rebuilt and

tlie 8ieg<; of 1759. The College is divided into the
Grand Seminary, a school of divinity having seven
professors and about thirty-four students, and the Petit
Seminary, for general education, having about five
hundred and fifty pupils, instructed by over forty pro-
fessors. Passing through the interniinable corridors, the
lower one of which is partly underground and lighted by
barred vi^indows, one becomes bewildered, and might
lose himself in the endless turnings and descents. One
!nav easily imagine himself in the dim periods of the
Middle Ages, an illusion rendered more vivid by the
sombre figures of robed priests pacing up and down the
vast galK3ries. Recently great additions have been
made to these build ino;s. The Seminary Chapel con-
tains several fine paintings.

Laval University is reached by a passage
from the Seminary, or by the front entrance. The
boarding-house is separated from the principal
building, as is also the School of Medicine. The
structure was erected in 1857, being founded by
Monseigneur de Laval. It has four chairs : — Theo-
logy, Law, Medicine and Art, thirty-four professors and
nearly three hundred students. Seven Colleges and
Seminaries arc aihliated with i,he University. There
are several large halls, containing the ^luseum of
Geology, Natural History, Arts and Sciences. The
Picture Gallery is yearly receiving large additions,
while the library is the largest in Canada, and ri^h in
valuable MSS. relating to Uie early history of the coun-
try. From the promenade on the roof a magnificent
view of the valley of the St. Charles and down the St.
Lawrence can be had.

Leaving the University by the eastern entrance,
the visitor finds himself bn The Battery, in reap
of the site of the old Parliament Buildings. Ther
following are the names of the different batteries,
extending to Palace Gate: The Assembly Battery,
9 guns; the Grand Battery, 17 guns; the St.
Charles Battery, 2 guns and 3 bombs ; Half Moon
Battery, 1 gun ; Hope Gat-e Battery, 4 guns ;
Montcalm Battery, 4 guns; Nunnery Battery, No. 2,
4 guns and 2 hovvitzers ; Nunnery Battery, No.], 2
guns and 2 hovvitzers. In addition to these there are,
in the Lower Governor's Gai len and beneath the
Dufferin Terrace, Wolfe's Masked Battery of 4 a^uns
and I Palliser cannon, and two minor batteries with 4
guns.

Hope Gate, like the others, has been demolished,
and a promenade occupies the site of the former Block
House. At a short distance to the west of tjiis pro-
menade is the former residence of Montcalm, now con-
verted into ordinary dwelling-houses.

Proceeding along by the Battery road, the view of
the St. CharTes valley and the Laurentides is enchant-
ing, and the suburbs of St. Roch stretch by the banks
of the meandering St. Charles. The next gate is
Palace Gate, demolished beyond recognition.

Outside the gate, at the toot of the hill, in rear of
Boswell's Brewery, is all that remains of the Intendant's
Palace, once the al)ode of luxury, the scene of revelry
and debauchery, a building which outshone in splendor
and magnificence the Castle of St. Louis, and whose
lords considered thsmselvee the equals, if not the
superiors, of the governowB. Here the infamous Bigot

he pquandered the thousands which he robbed from the
Public Treasury, and pilfered from the down-tralden
inhabitants of New France. His princely mansion
now serves but as vaults for casks and puncheons of
ale and porter.

In close proximity to the Artillery Barracks are what
were once tlie olficerfe' quarters, delightfully situated in
a shaded park.

St. John's Gate is a modern structure. The old
gate was found to be such an obstruction to general
traffic that it had to be demolished, there being
through it but one passage, which was so narrow that
only a single vehicle at a time could pass, and foot
passe ng:er 8 could get through with ditficulty.

On D'Auteuil Hill, where a street has been cut
through the city walls, is the Kent Gate, the
foundation-stone of which was laid by H.H.H. the
Princess Louise in June, 1870. It is very handsome,
built in the Norman style, with a turret from which
can be had a magnificent view of the valley of the St.
Charles and River St. Lawrence. Near by is the
Church of the Congregation. Opposite is the
Esplanade, which runs as far as St. Louis street, and
is bounded to the west by the city walls. From the
summit one can trace the old LS'ench fortifications
which defended the city in its early history; bnt these
are fast disappearing. Before the withdrawal of the
Imperial troops, the esplanade was strictly guarded,
sentinels patrolled the ramparts, and no thoroughfare
was allowed after gun fire.

To the south of the esplanade is the building occu-
pied as- the Normal School. In rear of this is the
armory of the volunteers.

The next building, of one story, was formerly occu-
pied by the Royal Engineers, and is now used by the
Quebec Garrison Club, composed of officers of a Bat-
tery and citizens.

Close at hand, on the Grand Allee, is where once
stood St. Louis Gate, now replaced by Dufferin Gate, in
honor of the popular Governor General of Canada of
that name. It is, like the Kent Gate, built in the old
Norman style, with a tower and turret. Near the foot of
the Citadel Hill, which winds up on the south side, is
where Richard Montgomery was buried after the
attempt on Hist Dec, 1775, from which place, on I6t'^
June, 1818, his body was taken to New York, and
interred in St. Paul's Church Cemetery.

At the top of the Hill is the chain gate, by which
access to the trenches is gained ; and to the Citadel the
visitor passes through Dalhousie Gate, called so after
Lord Dalhousie, once a governor of the Colony. At
this gate a guard is stationed, and visitors are here
furnished with a guide to show them over the Citadel.
Behind the walls are casemated barracks for the troops,
and these are loopholed for musketry, so as to com-
Uiand the trenches, while on the summits are cannon
connuanding all approaches to the city and landward,
while on the opposite side are batteries commanding
the harbor. Two Armstrong guns are here mounted, as
also a huge Palliser. Across the Citadel Square are the
officers' quarters; stores for ammunition^ stables and
other buildings occupy the western portion of the
Square. To the south, directly overlooking the river,
is the Flagstaff Bastion, on which is mounted an Arm-
stron^r gun. This battery is over three hundred and
fifty leet above low water, and the view from it is the

grandest in the world, commanding the river up and
down for many mUes. To the west are the plains of
Abraham, where was fought the decisive battle of 13th
September, 1759. Three Martello Towers, built in
1812, are to be seen, constructeii weak towards thecity,
60 as easily to be destroyed in the event of capture, and
strong on the outer side, having cannon mounted. Im-
mense military Ftores are constantly kept ready for use
in the Citadel, and arms for twenty thousand are ready
at a moment's notice. In the event of the capture of
the city, it could easily be destroyed from the Citadel
A Battery, consisting of about two hundred rank and
file, is now quartered there.

Among tlie improvements proposed by the Earl of
Dufterin was the construction of a new Castle of St
Louis in the Citadel, in the Norman style of architect
ture, to be the residence set apart for the Governor
General of Canada.

Descending the Citadel Hill, we return to St. Louis
street. At a short distance on the left hand side, is the
City Hall, built on the site of the house once occupied
by the chemist, M. Arnous, to which, as stated by
some, Montcalm was carried from the Plains of Abra-
ham after being wounded. The tliird house from the
next corner, on the same side, is the house to which
General Montgomery's body was taken on that fatal 31st
Dec, 1775. It was then occupied by a cooper named
Gaubert, and from it the body was taken and buried,
as alx)ve mentioned, atthe foot of the Garrison Hill.

Further down the street, on the right hand side, is a
large building, now occupied by Col. Forest, which
Intendant Bigot, with his wonted liberality with things
not belongi^ig to him, presented to his mistress, the

beautiful Madame De Paen, nee Angel ique Des
Meloises, the wife of De Paen, Bigot's chief assistant in
all his nefarious transactions. After Bigot had
returned to France stripped of his honors and of his ill-
grotten wealth, and branded with the name of thief,
Madame De Paen was not forgetful of her quondam lover,
but, out of the spoils she had managea to keep safe,
allowed him a moderate competency- Mr. Kiroy, in
his historical romance, *' The (iolden Dog," has woven
an exceedingly intricate and exciting plot out of the
loves of these two personages. The residence of the
fair and proud Angelique became, under English rule,
quarters for officers not residing in the Citadel, and the
buildings in the rear were used as the Military Hospi-
tal, but are now the Law Courts.

In rear of these present Courts of Law is a hill called
Mount Carmel, on which, in the time of the French
domination, stood a wind-mill, turned into a tower of
defense by a heavy cannon mounted thereon, for the pro-
tection of the colony against the inroads of the warlike
Iro((uois.

Further down St. Louis street, on the same side, are
two small houses, irre^ularl)r located, which cannot fail
of attracting notice by their ancient style of archi-
tecture ; the immense thickness of their walls, their
small doors and windows, the lowness of their base-
ment story, in fact their only story, their huge chim-
neys and their peaked roofs mark them as of the old
time.

Passing down the street opposite these old-fashioned
structures we come to the Ursuline Convent and
Chapel, in which lie the remains of the brave Montcalm.
Madame de la Peltrie, a pious French lady, founded

142

the Convent in 1641, and, as in usual with all buildings
of that time, it was destroyed bv fire in 1650. Being
rebuilt, it was again destroyed by fire on 21st Oct.,
1686. It was again rebuilt, the whole colony assisting
in its construction, so loved and esteemed were Madame
de la Peltrie and the Ursulines. The Convent has
been greatly enlarged during tlie last few years.

The Chapel of St. Ursula is alongside the Convent,
in which are valuable paintings.

A monument to the memory of Montcalm, erected
Sept. 14th, 1859, deserves attention. A monument to
the memory of Montcalm was also erected by Lord
Aylmer, in 1832.

The following relics are in the Chapel and Convent ;
The body of St. Clements, from the Catacomb ""Rome
brought to the Ursulines in 1687. The sknh v^i one of
the companions of St. Ursula, 1675; the skull of St.
Justus, 1662, a parcel of the Holy Cross, 1667 ; a par-
cel of the Crown of Thorns, brought from Pans in
1830.

Opposite the Chapel is the site of Madame de la
ePeltrie's house, whereon is a cut-stone house now
rected.

Turning up Garden street (and we may mention that
it was throudi this street that Theller and Dodge
passed after Uieir perilous descent from the Citadel
towards Hope Gate), we find two more old-fashioned
houses on the right hand corner facinc the St. Louis
Hotel, where it is said Montcalm established his head-
quarters, after the assault by Wolfe. On the opposite
corner is the Masonic Hall, on the ground floor of which
is the Stocking's Ticket Office, where many advantages
not to be had at the stations may be obtained. To

ST. LOUIS HOTEL.

the east of the hotel is the building whicli was once
the residence of the Duke of Kent, the father of her
Majesty Queen Victoria.

Passing down Palace street, the visitor will notice
a statue of General Wolfe in a niche in front of
tlie house at the westerly corner of Palace and John
streets,. This statue, carved by the brothers Cholet for
Mr. Hipps, a butcher, proprietor of the then house, was
placed by him in the niche, in 1771. The Albion Hotel
is on the right hand side of the street, and directly oppo-
site it is an old-fashioned building with the distinguish-
ing thick wall and cavernous vaults of the French era ;
in this house resided M. Brassard Duchesnaux, the
bosom friend of the infamous Intendant Bigot.

Un the opposite side of the street, at a short distance,
is the entrance of the Hotel-Dieu Convent and Hospi-

1-14

I*' 'i

tal, founded in 1639 by the Duchess d'Aiguillon, wLo
brought out the Hospitaheres Nuns and pkced them in
charge. Prior to tlie siege of 1759 it was destroyed ))y
fire, and afterwards rebuilt. It consists of' a convent
and hospital in which patients are treated gratis. At
times, the house of these benevolent ladies is filled with
unfortunate invalids, who receive unremitting care and
attention from the Sisterhood. The entrance to the
chapel is on Charlevoix street. It contains several fine
paintings.

In the adjoining street (McMahon) is St. Patrick's
Church,. erected in 1832, now under the ministration of
the liedemptorist Fathers. It has lately been enlarged
and greatly improved, by frescoing the walls and ceil-
ings. A magnificent organ has also lately been erec-
ted. Attached to it is the Presbytery, and in rear of it
is the St. Patrick's Catholic Literarv Institute, founded
in 1852. The Trinity Chape:, (fipfscopal) in St. Stan-
islaus street, was for some years used oy the military)
and was closed after the withdrawal of the troops. At
the top of the same hill is the Methodist Church,
erected in 1850, in a flamboyant style of architecture.
It seats about 1,600. Close at hand is St. Andrew's
Church, built in 1810 and enlarged in 1821. It
accommodates 1,500 persons. A manse and school-
hotise are attached.

In the building which was formerly the district gaol,
erected in 1841, at a cost of $00,000, is the Morrin
College, which was founde<l by the maj^nificent
endowment of the late Dr. Morrin of Quebec in 1860,
incorporated by Provincial Act of Parliament in 1861,
and opened in November, 1862. It is affiliated with
McOill University of Montreal. Its faculty of Divinity

145

is in cottnectloh with the Church of Scotland. The
late Mr. Justice Aylwin presented it with his n»agnifi-
cent Law Library.

The Literary and Historical Society. — This
Society which was founded by LordDalhousie in 1824,
has its rooms in Morrin College. It has a large
library and an extensive museum, and is now in a
flourishing condition.

Institut Canadien is in such a flourishing condition
that it has lately purchased the large building on Fa-
brique street called Bilodeau's Building, from the Mar-
quis de Bassano.

The Quebec High School is a handsome building,
situated in St. Denis street, at the foot of the glacis
stretching downwards from the Citadel.

Chalmer's Church, in St. Ursule street, built after
the Gothic style, was erected in 1852. It seats about
900 persons. This church was the scene of the Gavazzi
riot, which took place in 1859, and was the cause of
much imbitterment between the Roman Catholics and
Protestants of the city.

The Baptist CiiURcnis a small building in McMahon
street, opposite the entrance to the Artillery Park, and
was erected in 1854.

The French Protestant Church is a pretty little
church situated in St. John street, and was erected in
1876.

St. Matthew's Chapel (Episcopal) is also situated
in St. John street, erected on the Engliwh bnrial-fi;round,
which has long since been closed. St. Matthew's irt
built after the Gothic style and is tastefully ornamented
in its interior. During the last few years it has been

146

considerably enlart^ed. There is another Episcopal
cliapel, St. Peter's, in St. Valier street, St. Roch, and
the Mariners Chapel on Champlain street.

Church and Convent of the Grey Sisters. —
This church is situated in St. Olivier street, but it is
so hemmed in by the other buildings of the Sisterhood
that it is hardly discernible, and, moreover, it is with-
out a steeple since its last destruction by tire. On tiie
occasion of the burning of the Parliament Buildings,
the sittings of the Chambers were held in this church,
or were about to be held, when it, too, tell a prey to the
flames, and Parliament was removed to the Music Hall.
Grave suspicions were entertained at the time as to the
cause of these two conflagrations. Hund»'eds of chil-
dren are educated in the school.

Just outf^ide St. John's Gate is the Young Men's
Christian Association Building, the lower part of
which is let as shops. In it are a library, reading-room
and lecture hall. The building is open to the puXlic.

Jeffrey Hale Hospital is situatetl opposite the
Convent of the Grey Sisters, and was founded by the
late Jefl^rey Hale, Esq., who passed his life in doing
good. It 18 under the direction of a Board of Gover-
nors.

The Church and Hospital of Le Bon Pasteur is
situated on Lachevrotiere street. It is a refuge for lost
women and a school of reform.

The Bellevue Convent is situate at St. Foy, and the
Convent of Jesus Marie at Sillery.

The Finlay Asylum, of Gothic architecture, is situate
on St. Foy road, just outside the toll-gate, and is a home
for aged and infirm Protestants.

On the Grand Alice, near the toll-gate, are three
benevolent institutions — the liadies' Protestant Home

147

of the Churcli of England, Female Orphan Asylum,
and St. Bridget's Asylum, near which last is St.
Patrick's Cemetery.

The Marine Hospttal is situate on the banks of
the St. Charles, in the northern part of St. Roch
suburbs. It is built after the Ionic style of architec-
ture, and is said to be copied from the temple of the
Muses on the River Ilissus, near Athens. Its site is
on the place called la Vacherie, on the opposite side of
the river to which Jacques Cartier met Donnacona in
1535. The foundation-stone was laid in 1832 by Lord
Aylmer, then Governor of Ijower Canada, and the
building was completed in 1834, a^ a cost of nearly
$100,000. It has accommodation for over six hundred
patients.

The General Hospital is s'tuated on the south
bank of the St, Charles, not ir fron^ the Marine
Hospital. The buildings av extensive, and with the
gardens cover a large area. U wae f( nded by Mu i-
seigneur deSt. Valier, second Bifehoj >l Quebec, a ^ an
asylum for incurable diseases. In IGO?, it wa plat ed
under the charge of the Hospitalieres Nuns, who m '701
constituted a separate body from their sisters o. the
Hotel-Dieu.

Near the General Hospital is a wind-mil i of a most
old-fashioned order. It was used as a fort for t}.- Con-
vent. On the opposite side of the river ar .nense
vaults, used at the time of the French for si . iUg pro-
visions.'

The Departmental Buildinos are on the north side
of the^Grand Allee, and forn» a magnificent pile. They
are constructed in the modern style of architecture, are
four stories in height with a mansard roof and towers

at each corMcr. There are at present only tlie tliree
sides of the square completed, the fourth, that intended
for the Legislature, having only the foundations laid;
hut it is expected that in uie course of a year or so this
part shall also be completed, when it will be one of the
tinest buildings on the continent. The ventilation and
drainage are ahnost perfect, being much superior in
those respects to the buildings at Ottawa. Being erected
on almost the highest part of the city, the view from
the roof and upper stories is unrivalled. In these
buildings are contained all the Departments of the
local government, v;hich heretofore were scattered
throughout tiie city.

On the Plains of Abrrham is the massive building,
the Quebec Gaol, built some few years ago to replace
that now occupied by the Morrin College and Literary
and Historical Society.

Near the Commissioners' Wharf is the Custom House,
a tine building of Doric architecture, built of cut-stone,
and whose portico fronts the St. Lawrence, with steps
leading down to the water edge. . It was built in
1854, consumed by fire m 1864, and shortly afterwards
rebuilt.

In the vicinity is the Grand Trunk Railway
Station ; the Ferry Steamer leaves for the station on
the Jjcvis side of the river. Tlie same ferr^ conveys
passengers to the Intercolonial station at Levis.

The North Shore and the Lake St. John Railway

The Drive to Montmorency Falls. — Leaving the
City and crossing the River St. Charles by Dor-
chester Bridge, the visitor will drive along the Beau-
port road and vv^ithin two miles will reach the Beau-
port Asylum, founded in 1845 by Drs. Morrin,
Douglas and Fremont. Since that time the estab-
lishment has been vastly increased and improved ;
there being the principal building, having two wings,
another building separate from the main, and a sort
of villa structure for convalescent patients. There are
now over 900 inmates within its walls. After passing
the Asylum the village of Beauport may be said to
commence, and its houses and cottages line the road
for five miles, ending only at the river Montmorency.
On the site of the village, or rather between it and the
beach, was fought the battle of the 31st July, 1759,
between the English and French, in which the latter
were victorious and the former lost 182 killed and 665
wounded and missing. The head-quarters of Montcalm
can be seen to the right after passing over the stream.
After the taking of Quebec, the English avenged them-
selves by sackmg and firing not only the village of
Beauport, but also those of L^'Ange Gardien, Chateau
Richer, St. Anne and Baie StoPaul, and destroying all
the crops found in them.

The Falls of Montmorency may be seen either
from above or below. To view them from below, the
visitor must descend what is called the zig-zag hill,
which passes through Mr. Hall's property, and in
doing so the visitor is reminded that the residence
thereon was once occupied by the Duke of Kent, the
Father of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. On reaching
the foot of the hill we can pass along the beach,

till we arrive, a8 it were, almost underneath the
avalanche of waters, while the epray therefrom
descends in a sort of drizzling shower, and through
which, if the sun be shining, the brightly hued rain-
bow can be seen bathing its colors in the frenzied
cataract. The body of water, which from the height
of 250 feet leaps its precipice, passes, it is said,
through a subterranean passage, and rises in a
tumultuous manner near the end of the Island of
Orleans and gaining the name of Le Taureau, by boat-
men considered a dangerous spot. The view above
the Falls is taken frou) tlie opposite side, the visitor
parsing over the Montmore:>cy Bridge, then through a
field opposite the Hotel, and for which a charge is
made, and down a stairway to a platform, which
directly overlooks the Falls. The mad turbulence of
the water and the deafening roar, which ever seema
to increase, is almost bewildering, and the dizzy
height at which one is placed causes a certain amount
of uneasiness and sense of danger. There is wiUl-
ness all round, the high cliffs with overhanging trees
and bushes and the violence of the rapids rivet tlie
imagination with resistless fa^^cination. On both sides
of the river are the remnants of two towers, between
which was suspended a bridge, but which fell about
twenty-five years ago, carrying with it an unfortunate
countryman, his wife, child, horse and vehicle,
wliose remains were never afterwards discovered. A
by-way road through the fields leads the visitor to the
Natural Steps, which by son^e are considered the
grandest feature of the scene. Nothing more wild and
weird can be imagined than this mad river with
perpendicular precipices on each side, clothed witl^

160

tufts of shrubbery, and whose summits are fringed
with over-hanging pines, watching down as it were on
tlie threatening waters, now leaping over huge rocks
and forming furious cascades, anon seething, moody,
silent pools whose blackness makes night Took pale.
Here the waters eddy round in ever-quickening circles,
raising in their wrath bubbles and frothy atoms to the
surface, and suddenly leap onwards beneath the
overhanging cliffs. Where the visitor stands, shady
nooks hidden in ferns and wild plants invite to rest,
while the peculiar formation of the rocks serve as
tables for pic-nic collations. In the summer, these
Natural Steps are the resort of pleasure parties, and the
followers of Izaak Walton can tempt from the angry
torrent the most delicious speckled trout.

Near by is what is called the Fairy River, which
mysteriously disappears beneath the earth and again
as mysteriously reappears. It is also called I'Eau
Tenue.

Among the places of interest worthy of a visit are
the village of CiiARLKSBoniG, and a shortdistance east
tlie Chateau Bigot; also Spkncku Wood, the residence
of the Lieutenant-Governor ; W^oodfield Cemetery
and MovKT Vernon Cemetehv.

LAKE BEAU PORT.

Continuing along the Charlesbourg highway, after
leaving the village, for about four miles, we turn into a
less macadamized, but nuich njore delighlfulj road.
The sweet smell of the woods is a welconie, the song
of birds hastens you on, and the wild, unculturea
country charms you, till you feel in an ecstasy with the

i>i

161

wliole scene, when suddenly you arrive at an opening
in the forest, and a fairy lalce, surrounded by high
mountains, appears before you, and, ere your wonder
has had perfect consciousness, you are driven up to the
Lake Beauport Hotel, a country house, with a verandah
in front and gardens of flowers and kitchen vegetables
in rear, a perfect Arcadian retreat, where a dolce far-
niente reigns, and the greatest enjoyment is to be
obtained.

branch goin^ by the north and tlie other by the south
side of the River St. Charles, or the Cabir Uoubat of tho
olden time, both rejoining at the distance of about three
miles. On the south branch is the French Catholic
Cemetery, and beyond it the St. Charles race-(iourse.
Lorette is situated on a hill, down which rushes the
River St. Ciiarles, forming in the ceutre of the village
the charmingly beautiful Falls of Lorette. A walk has
been made 'in a highly artistic riiannor through the
niost striking parts ot the vicinity, so that allthe
beauties of these Falls can be adm"rv}d. It has more
tlie character of a cascade, and there are delightful
pieces of scenery above and below, and the river itself
18 a wild torrent, iti wli^ich at one time salmon were
taken. In the eastern part of the village reside the
remnants of the once powerful Huron tribe, now either
coalesced with the French, or rapidly disappearing.
