 .\lthough the foundation antl success of the citv of O.iawa is due almost 
 
 //; fo/'' lo the niililarv <afe aiil watchfulness of imperial Hril.iin over her North 
 
 American depnideiicics, i; would scarcely be seemly to enier on the beginnings 
 
 ul Hylown's history without doing full justice to \lr. I'liilemon Wright, one of 
 
 the most energetic and capable of the pioneers tha'. have aided the development 
 
 of (.'anada. Mr. U'lighl was a native of Uoburn. .Massacluiselts, the son of a 
 
 gentleman ot Kent, Kiigland ; he was born in i;o_. and followed farming in 
 
 his native .Slate lor a number of years ; but the financial result' "f his labour 
 
 were unsatisfactory, and he dei ided to change his residence. The 
 
 l.astern Townships were at that time being opened up tor settlement, ,ind the 
 
 eyes of many .•\mericans were directed towards Canad.i as a promising held. 
 
 Mr. Wright decided lo make his home under the British llag, and in 17117 
 
 paid a lengthy visit to ( 'anada, examining carelully the whole country from 
 
 i,Hiebec to the township of Hull, on both sides of the St. Lawrence and 
 
 ( It'.awa rivers. .\t that time travelling was exi eedingly slow and tedous, and 
 
 no roac's existed iiorlhwcs'. of Montreal ; it is not surprising, therefore, that 
 
 Ml Wright determined on devoting anothci season to the examination of 
 
 the country before deciding on settlement. This second s'irvey proved satis 
 
 factory, and he determined <m settling on the banks of the < Ittawa. We will 
 
 g ve the story of his jiurney to Hull and early life there in his own words, at 
 
 staled before a committee ot the House of .\ssembly ot Lower Canad.i. in 
 
 Ileceml>er, i.Sjo ; ii miy be prelaccd by the mention that at the beginning of 
 
 this century a few scaiiered settlers were to be fjunil along the Ottawa for 
 
 about fori> live miles west of Montreal, alter which the country was a 
 
 forest, broken by only one settlement, which had been made about ij.So 
 
 near where the village of (.'larence, in Ru.sstll County, now stands. The 
 
 interests of the North West Company were at that time paramount in 
 
 Montreal, and it w.is part of their h\ed policy not only to discourage 
 
 settlement along the line of their communication with the great western 
 
 cojiurv, but to keep people as much as possible in the dark as lo the 
 
 capabilities and resources of the disliict.

 acc^rdinuly we spent twenty day:!. ?.»y from the 1st ti. the Jo'h Octolwr, i 7<;tj I should 
 think thit we climbed to the top uf one hundred ot more trees to view the Mtuation of the 
 country (all bciny forest, there was nn otiier way of ^eiiin^; a view of the -turrounflint; 
 counlty), which we accomplished in the following manner ; We cut smaller trees in such 
 a manner a« tu (jill slanting and lodge in the branches of those Ur^e ones, which we xs- 
 cended until we ariived at the top; by this mtans we weie ^^nahled to view the country, 
 and aUn the timl>er and by the timber we were er^abled iti jud|;e of the naiuic of the !ioil, 
 wh'ch we found to answer rur expect*iirns ; and after having examined well the local 
 situation of (he I'ownahip of Hull, we de.scended the tiv.-r and atnved after much fatig^ie 
 at Montreal, where wc h^m a general description of our discoveries ;ind letumed liome to

 country, I was enabled tu obtain and hir as many men ai [ wanted, in order to com 
 mencc the new settlement. 
 
 I immediately hired about twenty C.ve men and bntight ihem with my mill irons, 
 axes, scythee, hoes, and all other kinds of tools I thought most useful and necessary, in- 
 cluding fourteen horses and eight oxen, seven s eigh* and live fimdie". together wiih a

 Woburn, on the 2nd of K-bruary, 1800. ar i arrived in Min'reil on the tenth , sfiei a 
 abort stay in Montreal we proceeded un oui route for the rownshi[i of Hull, making 
 generally amongst the old settlemeet-* ubiut fifteen miles [>er day for the tir-.t tii^ee "i.-iy^, 
 owing 1 1 our horses and oxen truelline ab-cist. and our sleigis being wider than what 
 is usual in this country ; under these dith'ruaies we tr:\vclled the thies tir.-.t days. stoii[ing 
 with the Ai''/''i'«^.r those three nights un'.il we got to the r>ot of ih- I.^ng Sault, which 
 wai the ^nd of any travelled road in that direcim in l/iwer Canada ; l>eing then eighty 
 miles from our destination, and no road, we t lund th.it it wa< impoi-vble to proceed in 
 consequence of the depth of snow, and were, theref ire, obliged I0 make a stand and set 
 one part of our men t.) alter our teams ? 1 as to g'l sin;;!y, an<i the other part of the m?n 
 to proceed forward to cut the road. After making the ecessaiy pre;>arations, we pro 
 ceedcd on for th» head of the l/mg Sault o'-sering Iwfore nighr cime on to tix a|) 01 
 some spot near water to encamp for the ni^ht. iiariicularly ob erving that there were n ) 
 dry trc'S to fall upt^n us or our catie, and if ih(;r- were tu cut them rii^wn. Then wc 
 cleared away the ^now, an<l cut ilown trees for hre f » the whole night, the women and 
 children sleeping in covered sleighs, and the men with blankets round the lire, ami the 
 cattle made fast to the standing trees ; in this situuion about thirty of us spent the night, 
 and I must say thit I never saw men more cheerful and happy in my life, than itiey 
 reemed to be. having no landlord to call upon us lor oar expenses, n.u to complain of our 
 extravagance, nor no dirty t1 lors to sleep upm. but thr sw,*e' gr luni wlrch belonged t » 
 our ancient Sovereign, 'ibscfving to take our refre^hrrcni and piepaie suthcient for ihe 
 diy, so is to l"se no time on our j tarncy when davlighi ap,.e3ie(l, always obicrving to 
 keep ou ■ 'xemen forward cuUing the Toal and our foragioij team nex' the axr^mtn. und 
 the families in the rear, and in this w.iy we f>roceeded on for three nr foi- days, tibseiving 
 to look out for a giol place for our camp, until we arrived .it ihe head of the I ong Sault. 
 From that place we travelled the whole of the dittancf niton the ice until we came to the 
 intended spot, which is about sixty five mi'es. My guide ih.it 1 had tak-n up with me the 
 lall before, was quite unaciiuiinted with the xe and likewise the whole ol our party, as 
 not one of us hao ever travelled up this ice l-;fore, our t^ree farmer 1 mrneys had b;en \>y 
 water. We travelled u;i the ice very slow, as we wee very much mtimi tateil far fear of 
 losing ary of our cattle, keejing ^air axemen foi ward trying every r'ni of tec. The ice 
 l>eing covered wi'h snow about tme foot thick, so that it was impossible to know whether 
 the ice was ^"vd without sou'idin^ it with the axe. 
 
 After having arrangcil wi;h the Inln^s we we coniujaed cutting down and clesring a 
 spot for the erecti"n d a house, and we contmued cu'ting and clearing and erecting ottier 
 buildings for the accommodation of the families and men 
 
 As I had laid in a good stock of hav and gram, which I ga. : freely unto my caitie, 
 I was surprised t" hnd that thev took to the woods living upon browse, such as the bads 
 ol fallen timber and tie J lint rujh that stood through the snow, which wan about seven 
 inches deep. In this way the horses an i oven bnislied nu* the spring and 1 never saw 
 working cattle in so good cordition in the niintti of Jtine as they were, btrtng in full tlesh 
 and g<K)d spirits. Our grain was used by the mm, thereby making to mt. an ad iitional 
 saring in provisions. 
 
 ; wLs also much surprised to tlnd the snow disappearing so very soon by thawing 
 undeine. ih. and on examinatiim 1 found no frost in .ne gr mnd ; being (}uitc the reverse of 
 Massachusetts where there is from three to four feet of fro.st in the ground in the spring;, 
 which prevents vegetation from coming forward s> soon as if it were otherwi.sc. The 
 spring opened much earlier than 1 ever knew it in M issachusetts. winch gave us all great 
 encouragement all the men b=mg much pleased with the country in tinding vegetstior. 
 come forward so much easier than they were accustomed to s-e it ; which gwes life to the 
 farmer and is the 'up[»ort of agriculture. 
 
 \\t continued cutting down during the whole rd March, April and May, building and 
 putting in imr veifetables .Tnd giri'en stutN, etc., and continued so to do liatil we began to 
 burn our fallows (which is the timl>er felled in rows) for win-er wheat, which ought to i>e 
 put into the ground in the month of August to exn*ct a good crop. Oar provisions now 
 began t<» run short and we were obliged to go to Montreal, a dis'ancc of one hundre<i and 
 twenty miles, to obtain means ol subsistence until our crops could l>e harvested this cir 
 i-umstance retarded in sijme measure the a>'vinc*m»nt of the settlement. < lur only c )m- 
 munication was by water, md *he navigation of the river, particularly tiis I. titi; siul'. wa 
 entirely unknown to ou*^ men, and ih^se who understood the manner of gn'ng up and down 
 the river could n-.t lie hired short of three dollars jwr day. The swifine^ts of the wai^r 
 and crooked channel bring interrupted witli large rocks or reefs of stone, projecting into 
 the river, and the waters rising and falling about f'jrteen fv*et on these rapids o*ing to the 
 north waters or spring freshets; (wing comf>elle<t to pass as near the shore a* possible to 
 have the l>eneht of tow ropes, renders the nivigaimn very difficult. 
 
 1 he year i.Scki was spent in clearing land, huiiding, and raiding vegetables and roots, 
 among th- latter was almut ont thousand bu'^heli ol potaio-s, which I put into the ground 
 (to keep them through the winter) so deep, that I U>si the whole of them by the rot 
 occasioned by the heal of the ground. 
 
 We prepared some land for the fall whea', and sowed about seventy bushels upon 
 fcevenly statute acres, and p(epirf<l about thirty acres for spring wheat and peas ; also a 
 great deil ol time pert in exploring and going f. Montreal for provisions Seeing my 
 pei>ple were going on well, and comfortable as to provisions, houses, etc, I gave direc 
 tions how to j>roceed untd my leturn. 
 
 iNt>l; I reluined hack to Woburn, in Massachusetts, and at the same time carrie 1 my 
 men home accorrbng to our agreement and paid them oti, but the greater piri of them 
 came back again t^e same winter, and by an agreement took lands, they ttndmg the lands 
 much letter in the Townihip of Hull than in the State of Massachusetts. I'his spring w^ 
 fioiihed our spring whfat sowing in the miinth of March, about thirty ai:rea. I had the

 was not Urge enough to hold the whole of my wheat by seven stacks ; I f-hould 
 there vere 3 ox* bushels at least ; I measured one acre, antl then threshed it out uo 
 spot ; there were forty husliels upon that acre. I also surv«yc<l the T<»wnship of 
 this year, commencing upon the sect>nd <lay of July with ten men, and continued •'ol 
 ninth day of Octolwr, and placei 377 square post-.. Iwing a To#n8hip of Sj.^io a .1 1

 Alter closing oui lall work, I then issued a n>'tilication that any perron who untl;r^ 'O

 south sl-.ore of the St. Lawrence wiihin the ho.ind.iries of the new confederacy, 
 ihiij affording their opponents an easy opportunity of commanding the sole 
 means of coiiiinunic auoii that then evistrd hetween .Montreal and the I'pper 
 I'l . vi.if.es. Had the .American niiiilary i Miiers jiossesscd suhkient cneiny and 
 military darinf;, and tlieir men been under |iroptr discipline, every isl.ind and 
 every bush on the south shot" of the .St. Lawrence would have been turned 
 into lurking places for bands ol determined men to harass and interrupt all 
 liritish supplies of men and material dislined for the garrison of Kings. on 
 iind th : western forts. As it was, much damage was done in this way, and 
 long before the close of the war His Majesty's (lavemment decided to eslab 
 lisli a new route to the Wel^^. independent of that allorded by the .">t. Law 
 reu'-e a'ld of the military road that bordered its northern shore. A study of 
 the map of Canada showed but one way of acconiplisliiiig this, conneclioii 
 with Kingston via the (Utawa River, with the huge peninsula of Kastern 
 •^•il.i.io as a barrier from attack. The Rideau River with its con- 
 nections seemed the most feasible waterway ; and under the instructions of 
 the Duke of Wellington, who always took a warm interest in matters lending 
 lo make Canada more secure lo the < rown, it was decidedtorendertli.il 
 siream navigable throughout, and to turn it into a military canal. 
 
 When no d.inger threatens, t'lovernment works in distant and sparsely 
 set'!, d colonies are usually attended wiUi much delay. At the conclusion of 
 the war with .Vnierica, foil iwed so soon by the general peace that siicceeiled 
 the Treaty of I'aris, the measure that chielly absorbed the atleiiiion of ihe 
 au'h'irities was the reduction of p.irt ol the large anny tli.u had been gr.idually 
 rani'das the necessities of the ICmpire demmded. I'nis painful but unavoid 
 able step was conducted with all possible lare for the veterans whose military 
 career was thus terminated. .\Liny were permitted to enlist in other regi 
 minis , but the most praiseworthy step, and one tn which Canada owes much 
 ol her prosperity, was the allotment of land to retirtd soldiers in various parts 
 of British North .Vmerica. The counties of Lanark and Carleton, on the 
 DItawa River, owe most of dieir first inhabitants to this system ol military 
 colonization, and a short mention of the earliest settlements in the latter 
 coimty may not be out of place, as an inlcgral part of the plan by which 
 the Ottawa Valley was to be made the militaiy route to ihe West. Al the 
 conclusion of the war H. M. 99th and 100th Reijiments of the line— both ot 
 
 wliich had been greatly reduced by casualities and diie^se — were cnnsoli. 
 dated into one corps and numbered the i)t;th. 'I'hey remained in Canada 
 and, in July, i.Si.s, on the decision of the home authoriiies to reduce the 
 strength ol the army, the regiment was disbanded at l.Hiehec A very liberal 
 offer of land was made to every member of the corp'i. on condition of his 
 becoming an actual .settler, and a large number availed themselves of this 
 It wu« decided to form the principal settlement on the I'pper Ottawa and on 
 the j.Sth of July they took boat at l.Uiebec ,■« tiiiifi' for their new home ; as 
 they left the harbour, II.M.M. " Iphigenia" passed tlicm, amid the thunders 
 of a Royal ^alute from the Cnadel ^,'uns She bore the new (lovcrnor- 
 (ieneral of the Cinadas, the Hake of Richmond , and the loyal soldier 
 settlers determined that the new town they hoped to fiund in the West 
 should bear the name cf the King's representative. 
 
 Travel was slow in those days, and it v as not until the middle of .August 
 that ihe settlers ariived near their destination. They ibsembarked on the 
 south ihoie of the t)tlawa just bjlow the ( iiaudicre Kails, on what is now 
 known as " The FUts," but which for many years reta ned the in re stately 
 name of " Richmond Landing." Here they jutched tents; .-"nd here for the 
 lia'ance of that summer lived the women and i hildrcn of the party, while the 
 men were cutting a road through the woids towards their permanent home, 
 riiey real hed the (ioodwood river, and ascending it some distance arrived at 
 the foot of the Rapids, where they decided to build their town Hy this time 
 the season was l.ir ;i(lvani<d; and before the women and children were 
 brought down from the land'ng and housed for the winter muc h suffering en 
 sued. Tney were greatly aided by ihe liberality of the Imperial Coverninent, 
 who supplied them bountifully with tools and one year's rations free el all 
 charge, and the seltlement grew steadily, under the able management of Lieut.- 
 I dl Hiuke (late looth Regiment), the superintendent of the party, tjther 
 settlers came in, ( hielly retired othcers and men from various regimenis, to 
 whiun land grants had been given, and il was hoped that Richmond would 
 bcdime the great centre of the district ; but it is needless to say such did not 
 come to pass, the establishment of liytown and its rapid growth comiiletelv 
 overshadowing the inland town. This was noi. however, in any degree the 
 fault of the first .seltlers or due 10 any want of energy im the part of the offi- 
 cers in cliarge ; the site was well ( liosen, the land exi ■.■llcnt, and the timber 
 of unusually hne piality : it was simply a case of ihe absorbtion of the

 (Copied from original hkcuh by I, ol Hy. K.I ., (iijor to ihe erfii' n o' ihc liridfr^over iht Falli in iBj- 
 
 kss by the greatir, the greater in this instance being the terminus of one ut 
 ihc noblest public works of I pper Canada. Richmond was laidmit in the 
 most exact anil regular manner, and on a very extensive scale, with a town 
 park c'l r-ix acres, and proportionately large grants for ecclesiastical purposes ; 
 but altliough at one time a large and llourishmg business centred there, its 
 absence from railway connection with the Capital has jiroved ^ serious dr.uv- 
 back, and it is now nothing but a country village of about 500 inhabitants, 
 lo the student of .nir history it will, however, always retain a considerable 
 degree of interest from the circumstances ot its foundation, and Us iiiliiiiale 
 connection with the tragic end of the Duke of Richmond, after whom it took 
 its name. 
 
 While all this active settlement was going on, the site ol the future 
 Capital was still a forest, with a lew small 1 learings at intervals. Not more 
 than half a do/en houses were to be seen. ( >f their owners, we may mention 
 Cabeb T. llellows, who had a dock and store for a number of years prior lo 
 i8;6. Isaac Frith, who kept a small tavern and Ralph .Smith, an Irisliman, 
 who settled near the >ite of Ilytown in i.Sm ; he was |uobably the lirit .set 
 tier in this loi ality. The name best known of all the " oldest inhabitants '' 
 is that of Nicholas Sparks ; and no one benefitted as much as he from the 
 I apid rise in value of land. He was a native of Wexford C'ounly. Ireland, 
 anil had com'' oct to Canada, engaging himself as a faim labourer with \li 
 \\ right, in the selllemenl already mentioned. He lemiined there for ten 
 years, at the end of which time he had saved enough money to purchave 
 a farm lor himself by lurk, or by foresight -it is hard to say which- he de 
 cided to nuke his home on the other side of the river, and b.iught for tlie 
 trivial sum of '.(J5 — lot C, Concession C, Rideau front, of the township ci 
 Ncpean. Misdeed was dated the -'ilh of June, iSj6; and it shows how- 
 well the Imperial tlovcrnmeiu kept their intentions lo themselves when a 
 large piece of land in the immediate vicinity of an enormous public wotk 
 just to be undertaken chanred hands at such a low figure at a time when the 
 superintendent of the work was actually <•/; r,iitf tocommeni:e operations. Ii 
 has been a matter of surprise to some that the (iovernmenl itself did not secine 
 ill.' I roperty purchased by Mr. Sparks ; but this may be accounted for by the 
 fiirl that up to the time of the actual arrival of ' 'olonel Hy on the ground, liicin- 
 tep'' n of the authorities hid been lo ulili/' the course of the RiJeau river 
 thro jghout, thus making the Ottawa entrance to the canal several nnles south 
 of ii? present location. While describing the place just prior to the com 
 men._enient of the work, it nay be opportune to give the details of the first 
 iranslers of the land fin which the city is now built. The site is comprised 
 
 in Concessions " C ' and " l>" ot the township of Nepcan . the iorme' 1 
 eluding— as near as possible— all properly west (if what is now Cuml'^'an-J 
 street, the latter all east of ihat line as fai as ihe Kideau rivir. I o'j /.

 '100 acres, covering .ill that pari of the city boundei! on th" north h\ '1 ■

 linglon streets, and on ihr west by I'lMiley's llridge, near the ( haudiere I'V;'.!'. 
 This properlv was patented by the 1 rown 10 Jacob Carman under date 1 
 May, I. So.' . on the 1 .-th ol iune. i.si.-, the latter resold to Hugh Kr .ei 
 (legatee! for I'l.:. Halifax curreiuv. .Mihough as we have seen— -s 11 
 vevs for the canal commenced three or four years after this, this property Na> 
 not again taken possession of by the Crown until iSj^when the Kaili 
 haihousie, the (lo\ernor, purchased it for 1'750. The remainder of tl. 
 greater pari of the city site is loiuprised in what weie originally fourlo'i,

 Although so far from tin' Oti.iwa. these f'liir lots were the earliest of tho^eac 
 i|iiireil from the Crown, the paieiit hning been taken out in isoi by («r«ce 
 Ml i.hieen , they wi re held by her family until i.s (.• when they were purchased 
 .v; /'/i>, by Colonel liy for Li,.'oo. The property is still known as the By

 The foregoing will give a fao idea of the original "lay'iut' and first 
 transfer- of the site of the city, Inim the < 'llawa river southward to Ann

 l.'ird Dalhiiusie's purchase, li '"rr ineiitiiintd, and on I'oloiicl By assuming 
 
 charge of the operatiun.s, he received instructions lo have the locality 
 
 accurately suiveyed an;. .,ii(i out in lots, and these lo he ((ranted to artu.il 
 
 settlers. I he conditions were verv liberal. Kach lot was ifi feet in breadth 
 
 bv ,9,S in depth, and the only measure rc'|ulred of each .i;ranl<e w.is that he 
 
 should, withm twelve niunths, crei t a dwelling liouse covering not less ihan 
 
 ihittv feet si|tiare ol ground, on the line of street as iiulicatei! on the surveyor's, 
 
 plan. The lots were fir t laid out in what w.is alierwards known as rppt-t 
 
 Town, and nearly all ^ere ,it once taken up Ihis was in the (all ol 
 
 i.s.'ti, the site of lower 'I'lnvn being then little better than a I uge sw.onp. 
 
 In the lollowing spring the necessities of the canal fs'ndcri'd n netessar) to 
 
 thoroughly drain the lower land, which si ijreatly improved it that .i survey 
 was m.ide. and nuiiy cxcellenl building sites bccanio available ; these were 
 proin|itly taken up by settlers. All these lots were subject to an annual rent 
 to the (iovernnient of half a crown. 
 
 I luring this summer extensive clearings were made on the high bhrll 
 immediately west of the canal entrance -now occupied by the Houses o( 
 I'.irliament. Ilitracks were built there, and it was decided to recommend 
 the erection of strong; lorlihcations In view of this, and of Ihe rci|iiirenienls ol' 
 Ihe net essaiy nanison when the works should be completed, the i iovernnient 
 ordcieil that those Uds which had not been taken up, or on which the con 
 dilions of sctllement had not been carried out, should remain ( towii properly 
 anil be allotted only on lea.scs of thirty years. \ large number of lots were 
 ihus disposed ol by public acition. the whole revenue from whii h together 
 with the rent froni the original properiies granted was devoted to town ini 
 laovdiients. 
 
 We have thus traccti out -possiblv at loo great a length— the beginnings 
 of settlement on the then I'pper Ottawa. We have seen Hytown ihilv laid 
 out. let us now endeavor to follow oui the development and growth of the 
 various lines of its municip.il life, am' of the etnerprises winch elTecicd its

 We have noted the eaily surveys and otlier incidents whicli \irc( cded the 
 actual work of lorminj; the canal. (Iround was broken on the ;iHt Sc|ilcin 
 lier, i>S2ii. and in less than eleven mi>nths operations had so far progressed 
 a? to admit of the living of the lust stone of the locks. I'his was done hy 
 I aptain Kranklin. I< N.. the celeliraled Artie explorer, at four o'clotk op llie 
 afternoon of the Hith of August, iS:; ; i a|itain franklin had luit relumed 
 from his firs', voy.age of exploration on the Macken/ie Rivr, and wa^ ni 
 routi to New \ ork to embark for Kngland. 
 
 The instructions given to Colonel liy for the construction of ihi. locks 
 were that they were to be made on the same scale as those of the I.ai hine 
 canal and of the ones then being made .it Circnville, vi/, i-j.S feet long, jj 
 feet wide and \ feet deep. Immeiliately on iii-, arrival in the euintry 
 in the summer of iS^ft, he had consulted with Major l.lliott and Mi 
 ("lowes, civil engineers, and soon came to the i onclusion that the limits 
 in size imposed on him were totally uiisuited for military service, as 
 M'ell IS for the commercial rei|uirenients of the country, lie lost no time in 
 communi' ating this opinion to (Iciieral Mann, and in rccommcniling with gre.it 
 earnestness that he be permuted to conslrui t the locks on the kideau on a 
 -cak sullicicntly large to take vessels Ironi no to i,;-- feet long 4^" to 5- feet 
 beam, and drawing .S feet of water , and to enlarge the other provincial canals 
 to similar dimensions. His prop(.sals was negatived by the Hoard of 
 (Irdnance, but 1 ol. lly persisted in urging his views, giving e.vcellent re.isnns 
 lor the enlargement. His ideas were -ubsipienily I'udorsed by the chief 
 naval olt'irers in I anida. f.arly in i>.'.^ a 1 oiumiitee was api-ointed, 1 on 
 sisting of tlcneral ilryce, t'oloncl lones and l.ieut < olonel lanshaw, to con- 
 sider I'ol. Ily's proposals and estimates, and rcpoii generally on the pl.iiis ol 
 the work . the result of their deliberations was a toinplcle ciidorsation of 
 Col Hy's management ,ind a proposal that the x,u locks at that time unbuilt 
 should be constructed of wood, so that enlargement, if afterward found 
 necessary, could be efTcctcd at a minimum of expense. In June ol the same 
 jeir, another committee, com|)osed of l.ieut. t General Sir lames Kempt. 
 I, ieut Colonels Fanshaw and I ew's. assembled in Canada and went over the 
 whole line of the works; their first decision was that the locks should be 
 made to accomodate vessels y.' feet wide and loS feet long, in addition to 
 
 space f 11 working the gates, but they sub.seiiuenily amended the widtn lo 
 feet, and the length to 1 1 ^ feel, with a depth of ; feet of water on sills, 
 this scale the work was completed. 
 
 Throughout the whole progress ol the work. Colonel lly showed a worn ■ 
 fill degree of energy and personal zeal, which as usual met with little '.ha ' 
 Irom those who. by iheir e\ilted position as members ol I'arliameii', mec' ■

 more than lour . he was practicallv cnlirt-ly at the mercy of the various c 1 
 tiaclors who undcriook the dillerent se<tioi!s of the work, and had

 i:oiii|ilelion so far ahead of the time most persons expected, reflect ei'f

 liytown, in Neiwan, is situated on the southern bank ol the Ottawa, a little \jeiow the 
 Iwautiful lalls of the Chaudiere, and opposite the flourishintj vdlage of Hull in Lowe" 
 i.'arada. It stands uj>on a hij^h and bold cir.inence smioundmi; Canal l!ay, and occupieJ" 
 I'vUh li nks of the canal ; [Mat part lyin^^ to the east bt-inc calU-d the Lower, and that to 
 the west, from a Ruperiority of local «;lfvation, the I pper ['.iwn. The streets aic laid out 
 with much regularity, and of a lilwral width, th .- -*iU hereafter contribute to the con- 
 venience, salubrity and clckjanr«<.f the place. . . faw-Biimber of houses row built is not far 
 'hort of one hundred and tdty, «w4 of waitn iu»»con4tuoted of wood, fiei;yently in a

 ^-.nk:- of the bay. the h )spi , ^exten-ive sir « httildinn, and three s.one birracks stand 
 mipicuous, and nearly on a level with them, and on the eastern side <»f the bay, is

 These locks ace a i/ic/ .I'lui-u in *he art ot canating ; they arc buill in continuation, 
 and the lift of each is ten feet, tli*" hrst al 'ne excepted, whose lift is \z feet. A handsome 
 stone hrid^jf, creeled by the -appcri .^nd miners, crosses the canal lietwetn the liasins and 
 locks, and unites the two villages of C'|<perand Lower iiytown. A substantial itone 
 warehouse is erected on each side of the locks, occupied liy ilie enj^ineer department, 
 under whose especial (hrection the whole of the canal is placed. A by wash, with a pair 
 of ll.jod gales issues from the basin, and by means of a ton)^ ditch, a disgusting feature in 
 the tower town, comniunicates with the t Htawa. 
 
 Seven years ago, the whole of the population of Bytown consisted ot one family, that 
 of Mr. Sparks ; at present two large villages ae in a flourishing state of existence, with a 
 united population of nearly two thousand souls. Th<* upper town is divided from the 
 lowei by a canal and an extensive military reserve, upon which arc erected barracks ;»nd 
 other (lovetnmcnt buddnigs. This .situation is ex-'cedingly strong and capable of being 
 fortified as to be nearly impregnable. The lower town is the largest and most ;>opulous, 
 the upper town is the lietter built and m the higher state of prosperity, most of the richer 
 merchants Laving; lately icmovcd thither. 
 
 ' jwn contains a Catholic church, an Kpiscopal cliarch, a I'rcsbyterian church, and 
 a Mtt> dist chipel ; these are all handsome edifices and are well attended. The streets 
 are broad and the houses partly buih of stone, brick or wood, are erected with a con&ider- 
 able portion of taste and elegance 
 
 A branch of !*ie I pper Canadu and an agency of the Commercial Hanks are here 
 established, ard a very large business is at all tinier carried on, particularly in the timber 
 and provision trades. When the sources of the Kideau Canal Iwcome more developed, 
 liytown must become a place of the utmost importance ; and shtiuld the two provinces of 
 Ip^wr and Lower Canada become unite<l. it will, in consequence of its inland situation, 
 .^tand the Iwst chance of becoming the .'eat of govern ment. H. town is situated upon land 
 which was purchased by Eirl l),ilho'isi*, then (iovernir in-Chief, for the use of tinvern-

 titled to a separate ie|ittsentativc in the new Provincial r.irlunjenl ; Stewart 
 Derbyshire and William Miwart were the candidates and the latter was sm

 six yoais later he |)iir' h .«d a large tract of land a little south of the village.

 of hat day delighted to lionour, Sir Irancis 'lond Head Ine volunteer 
 arti'lery comp.any of Hull fired salutes on his a-rivnl and departure. During 
 his short stay he visited (.'uadcl Hill, the Ciiaudiere falls, the ruins of the 
 bridges, the locks and other works of the can.'', and other points of interest, 
 he was presented by two aildresses, sigi. d by a great number of the inhabi-

 he occupied <'a|it. Ililtin's ('■•• nmau ling Royal l.ngineer) residence on the

 heads were rapped and noses tapped in the orthodox 'I'lpperary fashion. 
 Krom the hall, the fight soon spread to the street, and in the melee i young 
 man called liorthwick was shot de.id. Tlie Royal Canadian Rifles— .at that 
 time ill garrison— were called out, and soon ended the riot. .\ visitor in

 as well as f'om its central position, it hi.s l>cen fiiiii,;ested that the seat of (iovernment for 
 the I'niled i 'anadas should !« estahlished there, Krom the highes' p.ilnt, where the 
 harracks are placed, there is a tieintiful view of the Ottawa, studded with inlands and 
 Itroken bv ia|>ids, and es|)ecialty of a tirie fall, called (like many others in Lower t.'anada) 
 the l-'haudiere, al>')ut half a mile afiove the town, which places a bar to the further naviga- 
 ti.m of the river. Above the fall.s the river is again naviiiable, and there is steam all the 
 way up to the held of the Like des cha's, whicti is now the principal seat or channel of 
 the *• lumfier " trade. I'orm-rly the fur traders took ihisrm'e in startirn upon their 
 annual trips into (he wilderness : fiut since tha" time lli* aiijiceiit regions fiave been so 
 thorougtily hunted out, that they tin.l it btter to penetrate at once into the far NorthW'est

 iHinng the rebellion of i!<3;S l!>lown was probably the legist (lis

 thorouglily loyal anil few if any symitoms of iufui rectum were apparent, 
 The military g.irrison a' that time was very sm^M, and .i coiiip.iny of militia

 Ih; n this no local excitement was \isilile. I'nis is the more surprising in view

 lumbermen and their families constituted no .small proportion. I'arly and

 I rom 1.S45 to i.S^S existed a completi.- stagn.uion of tlic lumber trade'

 lion diiiinR this perioii and the otili-ial census of 184^ showed the number o 
 inhabi' mis t.i have dwindled to '1275. 1 It-.it the turning point was here 
 reached, .ind matters forlhwitti b: i;aii to iniptuve. .Miout this time was 
 eflected an iin|)r.)venienl which added consjdi. rably lo the appearance and 
 business l.iulities of the place. I p to iS47,the division of Hylown into two 
 distinct p.irls was a feature that imii-es^e'l every visitor ; the limits were sharply 
 defined, and not a little jealousy and rivalry cxiilel between the two villages. 
 I'ne ciiKil was the dividing line, and the .Sappers Ilridj^e the debatable ground 
 between the bloodthirsty spirits of both ramps. Ihe centre town, where now 
 stand the principal business hmises and jirominent buildings of the city, did 
 not then exist ; ils site was oci upied by a spur of the great li'll which then 
 siirinuunted the blufT whereon the Houses of I'arliament at preient stand 
 t;iossing the liridge on the way from the Lower to the I'pper Town';, the 
 r lad turned off iliagonally to the left for some distance, then wound gradii.illv 
 a^ain to the right until it struck into Wellington street al about the iuncMon 
 of the latter with bank street . thire W .-llington commenced, and with it ih.- 
 fpper I'own. The (iovetnment property, known as liarrack Hill, occupied 
 .ibdul the same area as is to dav included in the parliamentary enclosure, from 
 Wellington street north to the river ; while the spur which we have seen to 
 protrude in a southerly direction from the eastern half of Barrack Hill bi 
 longed to Nicholas .Sparks, he having claimed and secured it from the Crown 
 after consider.ible delay and litigation. I p to 1847 this was wild land ; but 
 •luring that summer .Sparks .street wis opened through to ilic canal, .ind 
 alter considerable delay, purchaseis of lots began to build on the new ex. 
 tens'on. This was the bi'ginning of the inhabited link between the Ipp, i 
 and I.iwer Towns. .\ few years later W ellinuton sir. et was extended through 
 and. wlh the steady growth th.u took place during the " fifties," es|)eri,illy 
 after the announcement th.it ( Uiawa had been chosen as the seal of Covetir 
 ment, the value of this section 01 the city advanced by leaps and bounds. 
 
 We now come to the period fraught with greatest change and gam to 
 liytown. Hetween 1 S^ , and 1 S^., I'uee local events— one of which possessed 
 national interest- -took place. These were, the change of name from Hytown 
 
 to Ottawa ; her incorporatioi; i» a city ; and the fulfilment of the prophecy 
 made by so niiiiy of her pioi.t .0 mat she should be chosen as the capital if 
 the I nited Canadas. 
 
 Before dealing wiih ihis all important |iha^e of her history, we may

 It is httle more than -15 >*-ar5 since the hrst tree wi-s felled i>n the spot where now 
 stands Itytown, and it is a very few years since ihcrt existed heic anything that coold be 
 called a town, and yet it already covers as much ground as Hjkton, and though its inhab- 
 itants did not, when I visited it, exceed io,im>> it was as (;rand in its pretensions as 
 i^>uebec or Montreal, As yet it was only called a town, l>ut as soon as its inhabitants 
 should excee<l the number above mentioned, it wss to be declared a city, and, as a cor- 
 poration, would attain to a greater anioura of independence : and it was propoKe<l that its 
 name should then be alteted. It^ present ore h taken from that of a Colonel tly, and 
 signilies merely Hy's Town ; but tt awakei > an associrtion *'{ ic'cas by whicli the vanity 
 of the citi-ens is not tlittercd, for whoever 1$ acquainted with the histr tical derivation cl 
 the uauie considers ii equivalent to " out of the- way place," and this the Uytowneisdo

 dignity as the metropolij uf the young Oiawa cmntry. ( )ih<;r ( anailiin settlements have 
 changed their names when ihey rose to the cimI rank, as, (or instance, Toronto, which 
 was before calfed Yotk.

 Thence also rose in the midst of the forest, at the mouth of the K dcau. where the 
 chief supplies were teccivcd m ;he Ottawa, a little setilemenl ol laliiuiers, boatmen, 
 engineers, ^' 'C. ; and sine; in Canada you cannot drop a spark but that forthuilb arises a 
 forest of conHagration, su from this little collection of huts spring up the present city 
 with its numerous houses, shopM. magazines, churches, schools, colleges and other build- 
 ings, varying in »i/r and «*yle, that now covei so wide an extent uf gruund. 
 
 There has been as yet no time to pave the htreets, and in bad weather they are in a 
 desperate state ; only near the houses, as in most of the youngest towns of Canada, there 
 run what arc called *' plank roads," that is, footpaths made of l)oards. As lor gardens. 
 fruittr^es, or tl iwers, no one has had time so much as to think ofihcm, and the old 
 rough boulders and masses of rock are lying about still among the groups of houses, and 
 lirs and other forest trees are sptinging up again out of the stumj s. Here and there 
 amongst elegant colleges and churches aie to l>e seen fragments of the primeval foreit, 
 lofty pines and lirs, and thick underwood, that oci'asinnally may give shelter tn a bear. 
 l>y and by they will be changed into gardens, but as yet :he unbroken mass of tlie prime 
 val forest fences in the town on all sides, up to its very streets, aiv.l if you get a view of 
 it from a high point you iiee for miles and miles nothing but a sea of >vood in which the 
 town lies like the nest of a heathcock. 
 
 The grand pretensions of Ilytown tend to n''thing less than to be nia<le ihe seat of 
 (iovernment and Parliament, ai,d the residence of the tiovernor tieneral of alt Canada, an 
 honour for which no less than foor citiei have been contending. 
 
 ♦ •♦■** ^, ■♦ r * *. 
 
 The mass of the houses of Itytown is divided into twn main groups, and '«tween the 
 two rises a broad to p|>ed rock or hill, from the summit of which you command the whole 
 pos tion. 
 
 This rock, as well as the before mentioned Rideau Canal, belorgs t'> the Imperial 
 (lOvernment of Canada, and has been taken possession of for military puroo.ses. I'his 
 hill indeed, and many lands Itesides, are considered as appendages to the canal, and 
 might help to defend it. The I'rovincia! Oo\ eminent, and es|>ecialiy the Uylownerf, 
 would tike lo have this hill, which lies in the very miiidle of their city, and oilers the 
 finest sites for building ; but though the dovernment might give up the Kideau Canal to 
 the Province, it will not the hills, rocks, <:"C., which are well adapted fot military posi- 
 tions, and might lie of importance for the defence of the town itself, Hitherto, tmly some 
 )>arracks have stood upon this hill, an<l thence its name ; but they presented a very mis- 
 erable aspect when 1 saw them, as they had been almost burnt to ruins. The panorama 
 round the hill was remarkable. 'I'he long line of the cataracts is in full view, and light 
 and left the far stretching buildings of the rapidly growing " Meliopolitan city of the 
 Ottawa," and the great sluice works and n-lier important establishments ; the whole set 
 in ft backgronnd of leemiogljr interminable forest. 
 
 b >arding hr>usr ofmiite elegant aahileclure, and the interior is equal In cleanliness to the 
 'I'larlerdetk of an Knglish man of war. The workmen have their common breakfast and 
 (lining roftms, as in th- hotels of New \ ork and lloston, and in their sleeping rooms the 
 most exact regulations were laid down for the linen and oth r things supplied lo them. I 
 muit C'tnfess I dfljijht in a country where wo >d cutters and workmen at a sawmill can 
 command such an amount ol cimforl and decorum in tbelr mmie of life. Perhaps the 
 Amerirans had in this case Iteen desirous of thowing the ** Mntishers " how such an 
 e*-tabli«hmrrt ought to be managed. 
 
 The story of itow it < anic lo be that the ncwiy-flcdgcd city of O.tawa was 
 rhosrn for iiielropolitan honotirs is familiar to most people, and I will only 
 fitmiman/e the events which lead to this consimimation. After ihc riots in 
 Montroal in iH4<^, and the wilful destrunion of the Parliament House there 
 it was derided that the seat of government should alternate between Toronto 
 and (,Uiebec, and for a number of years this plan was carried out. To a 
 siiperluial observer the adoption of such a method in a country as long set- 
 tled and .IS pojiulous as C'anada seems extraordinary ; but to students of the 
 slate id' party and race feeling at that dxy, the svsttni appears the only com 
 promise that . ould allay the jealousy between the two provinces. It was 
 <ircftilly considered and adopte<l in the Mouse of Assembly, and confirmed 
 by l.')rd KIgin after mature cmsideralion. Never was patriotism at so low 
 an ebb in ('anada as at this junclurc, and unusual care was essential to bring 
 ]iii!)lir. feeling to a higher and more natural stale. *Ihe result in this sense 
 was siiisficmiy, and l-.arl (Irey, three years later, was able to point out the 
 imptoveinent thai had resulted from the adoption of the measure. Hut as the 
 public ser\u e grew proportionately with the country, the expense and incon- 
 veniencfs d ihe perambulal iig system became more and more ai)parcnt, and 
 at last was felt to be intolerable. A fixed and settled resting place for the 
 weary reptesenlatives aud civil servants was felt 10 be al'solutely essential, and 
 lhe<pieslion became a lively feature in Canadian fjolitits. (Quebec, Montreal, 
 Kui^slon and Toronto each claimed the honour, and this win such a degree 
 fd warmth that a reference to a 'high arbitrator became necessary, and, with 
 befitting respect, the <^>ueen was rt:«iuested [*> act ; to the lasting honour of the 
 n.inistry of that day— of which the late Sir John \. Macdonald was the real

 head — a (lovernnicnl Bill was brought b>fore (he House, leaving the decision 
 to the highest of all authorities, the (Jueen. A senseless nppositum was made 
 t(i ihis miasutc Ipv many mcnilnis who wcie in fear .ind IrfniLlnij; lest sui h 
 a step >ho',!l<l endanger responsible tjovrrnmciit. This amusing theory, with 
 the disi (iiirtesy and (|ucsti<iiiable loyally that ai tonipanicd ii. found ae<e| I- 
 ance with no less than 51 members, and the minisiry was su tained by a 
 slender majoriiy of nine. The lorinal rccjucsl was thereupon submilied to 
 Her Majesty ; and under date iist Deeember, fi;;, the Colonial .Secretary 
 informed the ( iovcrnor ( icneral that Ottawa w.is the city selected. This de' 
 cision took the country by surjirise, and a violent storm of opposition was 
 sounded in the more extreme parly sheets. Most regrettable of all, the 
 (Jueen's choice w.is for a while actually negatived. A motion by Mr. I'iehc, 
 member for Herthier, " That it is the opinion of this House that the city ol 
 ( )ttawa ought not to be the permanent scat of government for the Provinc e,' 
 was adopted by a majority of 1 4. I'he < lovernment resigned, but the leaders 
 of the ( )pposition were unable to command a majoriiy, and His l-.xcellency 
 again placed office at the disposal of Messrs. Macdonald and (arlier. 1 lur- 
 ing the session of 1X51; the subject was again brought before rarliamcnl and 
 finally settled ; Mr. Macdonald and bis colleagues insisting on the confinna' 
 lion of Her Majesty's choice. It would certainly have been a ijross breach of 
 courtesy— to give it the mildest word— had the Parliament of Canada, afier 
 agreeing to submit the ([uestion to a final decision by the <^ueen, refused to 
 accept her i/utiim as not in accord with the sentiments of the majority. It 
 cannot be doubted that the opposition so many members displayed was to a 
 great measure due to their subservience to the pnssure brought to bear on 
 them by their cciisliluents, who might — if Ottawa were not chosen have had 
 a chance of the coveted honour being awarded to their own city or district. 
 
 The choice confirmed, no lime was lost in arranging for the new build, 
 ings. < In 17th May of same ye.ir (1S59) notices were issued by the (Jovcrn- 
 menl asking architects to submit designs for the House of rarliament and 
 for the 1 )epartmental buildings ; of these, the plans for the former by Messrs. 
 l-uller and Jones, and for the latter by Messrs. Stent and I, aver, were adopt- 
 ed. I enders lor the work of construction were then called lor. Mr. Thoina.', 
 McOreevy secured the contract for the Parliament building, and Messrs. 
 Jones, Haycock & Clarke for the public Departments. On the joth Decern 
 ber work began, and on the 26lh of the following April the firkt masonry was 
 aid. 
 
 In the summer of i.sfio, H R H. the Prince of U'ales visited Canada, and 
 after spending a few days in Montreal, left lor Ottawa on the .^ist of .August. 
 On nearing the latter ( iiy a novel and brilliant reception greeted the Koyal 
 party, who had come up from llrenville on ihc steamer /'/mn/r. A fleet of 
 150 birch-bark canoes, manned by .Joo lndian^ and lumbermen, suddenly 
 hove in sight ; forming m regular order around the steamer they escorted it 
 to the wharf, where (he Prime and his j«;/c disembarked. The occupants of 
 each ranoe were dressed in scarlet and other bright colours ; singing their 
 forest chants in perfect rhyihm to the swing of their paddles ^s they swept 
 along, they formed a picture not easily forgotten. With the superb sur- 
 roundings — the mist of the Chaudiere .^rising in the distance, and the lofty 
 llarrai k Hill liKimmg grandly up in fior; -no eipially typical Canadian scene 
 could have been anywhere else presented. The I'rince landed at the future 
 capital in the midst of u steady downpour of rain ; a guard of honour of local 
 militia presented arms, and a royal salute was fired as he stepped ashore. The 
 wharf was decorated and carpeted, and a brilliant assembly of Ottawa nota- 
 bles had gathered to meet their future sovereign. The inevitable address fol- 
 lowed, after which a large and well organized procession escorted the Koyal 
 party to the X'ictoria Hotel. Some rather amusing incidents of that first night 
 are told by one of the Knglish vitiiors. He says : 
 
 Moit cif ihe htileU uf C>lta#a had a ttrari; refurmatnry < lemcnt running through them, 
 which minireiled itulf by ruin to have doora tmlted and lighta out hy 1 1 p. m., which 
 Tp<)nirrd evfryrine to he up by half-paM Rrven o'clock, or go without hii breakfatt, and 
 which otherwi.^ fiuggeslol the ligours of prison diiciplinc with all the ditcomforta of a 
 bjd hold. Matters in Ihese resnecla were nm much mended by the arrival, late in Ihe 
 eveniPii, of an immrnFc irxin Irom Montreal laden solely with colonial dignitaiica and 
 ulhrrs of tunicient inDuence and Malion 10 lie exjec ed 10 follow the I'rioce, and all of 
 whom were disembarkrd tn the mud, and fell easy victimi to swamps and monaiea in 
 their reaich after cairiag^pi and lodgings. There was a general debacle among the luggage 
 that night, and only those who, tjuite irres^iective of owner-hip, were wt« enough to take 
 whatever trunks came tint to hand get anything at all People were sanguine enough to 
 bel-eve that »t some remote period (prol ably when Ottawa is built) the trunks which had 
 been lost in the tour would tu.n up somewhere. 1 tried that kind of consolation on 
 some of my own friends, who were thus bereav,:d by the railways, and left to face a three 
 months' Journey with only an odd pair of gloves and a pocket handkerch^f. As 
 a rule, however, such sympathy had become very common, and had lost the little charm 
 it possessed in the earlier stages of the piugrefcs. 
 
 Only a few days Itefore arriving at Ottawa, 1 hearti that a gentleman prepared with a 
 sumptuous wardrobe for following the Prince tjiroughou', received a notice that soma of 
 his trunks had been sent per mail to Kngland — a rather annoying intimation —though 
 softened down by a courteous assurance that they would be returned at the 6rtt opportunity. 
 The fact was, that Ihe American system of checking baggage through to destination, did 
 not answer for the unusual emergencies of a royal progress. Only a certain nunber of 
 bnu check* leemtd to be allowed to each itatlos, and whta th* prop*! om* wm« «a-

 did to at all. My the mertat accident I ditcovered, when coming np from (Quebec, that 
 one of mjr trunks wax **ch«cked" through to Chicago and another for Portland, both 
 being intended for Montreal. 
 
 On the following morning, aboul eleven o'clock, the Prince well and 
 truly laid the corner stone of the new Parliamentary Ituildings All appro 
 pnate ceremony wai obierved , an excellent military band— thiUof the Koynl 
 ('.inadian KiHes — was in attendance, and the whole |}opulatioit of Ottawa 
 were out en JHe. A irt'te and tiejfuner followed, occupyinjj the greater part 
 of the afternoon. At altoui five o'clock the p.trty ilrove to the Chauditre 
 K;ill8, and were equally astonished and charmed wiili the weird h'-auty of the 
 scene ; an accompanying objct t ot great interest was the Lumber Arch, a Inrge 
 structure built specially for the occasion Ity the men employed in the lumber- 
 mills. It was composed entirely of deal planks, so constructed as not to re 
 (piirc a single nail or other fastening. The Prince and his party then went 
 down (*ne of the timber slides on a rait — a magnificent species of atpi.ttic 
 tobogganing, the exhilaration md excitement of which cannot be lotd in t>o 
 many wordH. At its conclusion the Prince expressed sincere regret that the 
 *hooi was not at !cail .i mile longer. Canoe raccsclosed the day's sport. .\l 
 night there was a banijuet held at the \ ictona ; the town was illuminated by 
 its go<(d ciii/ens.and a torchlight procession was attempted ; but of this latter 
 feature, the least said the better. On the following morning, Sunday, the 
 dfstinguished visitors .ittended divine service at ('hrist Church : and at eight 
 o'clock on Monday morning they left Ottawa rn route for Kingston, carrying 
 with them a delightful sense of the warm heartedness and loyally of the 
 citizens.

 Of the city about thii time a distinguished Kn«lish visitor (Anthony 
 Trollope) writes 
 
 I laid that the city of Ottawa was Mill to be built ; but I mx%\ eiplain, leit I ihould 
 draw down on my head the wrath of the Oitawallei. that the place already contains a 
 population of xy^m^ inhabitant! At, howevar, it \% being prepare*! fir four timex that 
 numUr, for eight tlmei that number let ui hr>pe, ind at it «lr»gi{le» <)ver a 
 vast exlen* of yround, It givei one the idea of a city in an actife course of preparation. In 
 England we know nothing slKiut unbuilt citiei. With ii« four or (ivc bh>cki of >lreel» to- 
 gether never aiiumr that mjly, unMedRed appearance that belongi to the half tiniahed car- 
 case of a houte, a« they do to often on the other aide of the Atlantic. ( >itawa tit preparing 
 for itself broad alreelfl, and grand thur ughfares. The buildings already extrnd ver a 
 length considerably exceeding two milea, and half a dozen of hotels hate l>een opened, 
 which, if I were writing a Riiide ImmiIi in a complimentary ton-, it would be my duty to 
 ilexritie aa lirsl rate. Vint the half.lo/en Hr^t rate hnteN, ihoufib ^\*^r\, aa yet eni>y but a 
 moderate amount of cuatom. All Ihia iviitihes me, I think, In r.aying that the UUawaltei 
 are going about their task with a worthy /eal. 
 
 To me I confp^s that the nature or ih^ aituniion has (jrett charmi, regarding it aa the 
 site for a town. It n not on a plain, and from the form of the rock overhanging the river, 
 and of the hill that falU fn)m ihencc down to t^e waif r. (t ha$ been found impracticable to 
 lay out the place in r sht angird paratletottram'. A ri^ht angled parallelngramical city. 
 Buch as are Philadelphia and the new p-«tlion of New \ ork, in, from its very nature, (kIious 
 to me. I know that much may be said in i(4 favour,— iht drainage and gas pipes come 
 caiier to such a shajw, and that ground can be better rci^inumiaed. Nevertheless, I prefer 
 a street that is forced to twi»t itaetf about, I enjoy the narrowness of Temple Mar, and the 
 miasha(>an curvature of Pickett street. The iliarcputable ding'neas ol Holywell atreet is 
 (tear to me, and I love to thread my way up bv the Olympic into Covrnt « iarden. I'ifth 
 Avenue, in New York, ii us grand aa faint and glasa can mak<? it ; but I would nr>t live in 
 a palace in Kiflh Avenue if the corporation of the city would pay my haker'a and butcher's 
 birls. 
 
 Referring to the new buildings, he says r — 
 
 Hut the glorv of t^'C Ottawa will be and, indeed, already is the s«t of putdic build- 
 ings which is now l»eing erectni on the rock which guards, as it were, the towir from the 
 river. Mow much of the excellence <»f llieae huiUbnus may be tiue lo the tasie of Sir 
 Edmund Head, the late (iovetnor. I do no* know. Th-t he ha* greatly interested himself 
 in the subject is well known ; and as the style of the dillerent buildings is so much alike as 
 to niaVe one whole, thouyh the designs of different archiiecls were selected, and these 
 dillfrent archi'eciaemi ' ^ed, I imagine that consiiU rable alterations must h«ve been made 
 in the original drawings. .'*>ere are three buildings, forming three sidts of a (luadranyle j 
 but they are not i ineil, the vacant spaces at the corner being of consitlcrabte extent. The 
 fourth »idi* of the ituadrangle opei<s upon one 'f the principal streets of the town. Th* 
 centre building is intended for the Houses of I irliament. mid the two side buildings f>r 
 the (iovernment offices. Of the trrst. Nfessra Fuller ^ jonc* are the architects, and of 
 the tftt er Messrs. Stent and Lav^r. I did not have the pleasure of meeting any of these 
 gentlemen ; but I take upon myself to say that, as regards purity if art and manliness of 
 c<mceptien, their jo nt work Is entitled to the very highest praise. How far the buildings 
 may l>c well arrangeii for the reijuired purposes, how far they may be econonrical in con- 
 struction, or specially adapted to the severe climate of the country, I cannot say ; but I 
 have no hesitation in risking my reputation for j^idgment in giving my warmest commenda- 
 tion to them as regarJs l>eauty of outline and truthful nobility of detail. 
 
 I will not attempt to describe them, for I should interest no one in doing to, and 
 should certainly fail in my atlempt to make any reader understand me. I know no modern 
 ( iothic purer of i's kind, or less sullied with lictilinus ornamentation, (^ur own Houses ol 
 Parliament are very line, hut it is, I lielieve, jienerally felt that the ornamentation is t'.o 
 minute ; ani'., moreover, it may l>e questioned whether perpendicular (iothic is capable of 
 the highest n b'.lity which architecture can arhieve, I do not pretend to Kay that these 
 Canadian public buildings will reach that highest nobility They must t>e tlnished l>efore 
 any final julgment can tie prrnouncrd ; but I do feel very certain that that linal j idgment 
 will l>e greatly in thei^ favour. The total frontatje of the '(uadiangle, including the aide 
 buildings is i.ioo feet j that of the centre buildings is 475. As I have said l«;fore, 7,225,- 
 Kyoo has already been expended, atid it is eslimateil that the total cost, including the arrange- 
 ment and decoration of the gr. und behind the building and in 'he quadrangle, will l>e half 
 a million. 
 
 The buildings front upon what will, I suppose, be the princijial street of Ottawa, and 
 they i-tand upon a rock looking immediately down upon the river. In thi^ way they are 
 btetsed with a site peculiarly happy. Indeed 1 cannot at this moment rememl'cr any so 
 much so. Tiie castle of Kdinburgh stands very well ; but then, like many other castles, it 
 stands on a summit by it self, and can only Ik; approached by a steep ascent. These build- 
 ings at Ottawa, though they look down frt m a t;rand emirence immediately on the rivei, 
 are approached from the town without any asrent. The rcxk, though it falls almost ))er- 
 cipitously down to the water, is. covered with trees and shrubs, and then the river that 
 runs beneath it is rapid, bn^ht and pctuiesque in the irregularity of all ita lines. The 
 V ew from the back of t'le library, up to the Chaudiere falls, and to the saw mills by which 
 they are surrounded, is very lovely. So that I will say again, that I know no site for such 
 a ^et of buildtne^ so happy as regards both beauty ard grandeur. It is intended that the 
 library, of which the walls are only ten feet above the ground when I was there, shall Iw 
 an octagonal building;, in sha|)e and outward character like the chapter-house of a cathe- 
 ■ Iral. This structure will, I presume, be surrounded by gravel walks and green sward. 
 Of the library there is a targe model showing all the details of the architecture ; and if 
 that model bt ultimately followed, this liuilding alone will lie worthy of a visit from Kng 
 li«h tourists. To me it was very wonderful to hnd such an edihce in the course of erecti()n 
 on the banks of a wild river, ii'most at the luck of Cinada. but if ever I viiit Canada 
 again, it will be 10 lee those buildngs when completed. 
 
 And now, like all friendly cri'ics. having best'wed my modicum of praise, I inu^t 
 proceed to find (auli, 1 cannot bring myself to administer my .<.ugar plum without addmg 
 10 it some liitter morsel by wav of aniidoie. Ths building to the left of the quadrangle, as 
 It is entered, is deficient in length, and on that account appears mean to the eye. The two 
 side buildings are brought upclos; to the street, i* that each ha< a frontage inimedtatcly 
 on the street. Such twmg the case, they should t>e of eqial length, or nearly 50. Had 
 the centre of one fronted the centre of the othe', a diitirence of length mig^it hivj l>een 
 allowed ; but in this case th; side front ol thi smiUer one woalJ not have reached the 
 street. Aa it is, the space between the main building and the sntaller wing is dupropor- 
 tionaiely large, and the very distance at whi :h it standi, will, I fear, give to it that ap. 
 pearance o\ meanriess of which 1 have spoken. The clerk of tt\e w,>rks, who explained to 
 me with much courtesy the plan of the buiidtngs, atatetl that the design of this wing was 
 capable ol elongation, anl had been expressly prepared with that object. If this be so, 1 
 trust that the delect will be remedied. 
 
 The erection of the Parliament and Departmental buildings, so fittingly 
 inaiigur;ited, proved a very slow alTair. Although the original contracts 
 specified that the construction would be finished by S6i, it was not 
 until the fall of 1865 that the work was sufticienily advanced to permit the

 removal of the publii: ciliiccs from (Jucbci. The first session of I'ar- 
 liametit held in the new luiilding'i was that of iS6(i; the opening day 
 was the Sth of Juno, in the midst of the first Kenian "invasion.'' 
 This — the firs', in the new capital — was the last of the old regime. (.In ;he 
 1st of July, 1.S67, the confederation of the chief provinces of liritish North 
 America into one nation was royally celebrated in our principal cities ; at no 
 Iilace was the great day honoured more than at Ottawa. At midnight 
 boomed out a truly national salute of loi guns, accompanied by the ringing 
 of bells, and tlie discharge of countless lirewoiks. Dn the Ordnance lands 
 oppos te ihe Caliiedral hla/cd up a huge bonfire ; and tlags were simullane- 
 oiisly Mown from every staff in the city. .At eleven o'clock the Mayor pio 
 ceeded in state to the City Hall and read Her Majesty's proclamation calling 
 the Dominion into existence : and tins civic ceremony was followed by the 
 more national one of the swearing in of Lord Monck as the first i iuvernor 
 (iencral of the new Canada. .\ brillumt military review was the next event , 
 the troops marched past, lired a /<■./ li, loit, and gave cheers, three times three, 
 for the(,iiiecn, the Dominion ofCaUiidj, and the (iovernor-Ceneral. \ general 
 illumination of the city in general, and of the Parliament lluildings in par- 
 ticular, were the closing events of this eventful day. May the spirit that 
 prompted these commemorative ceremonies, on this the greatest day in our 
 history, live to e<|ually honour each recurring anniversary of the I'nion. 
 
 Within a year from the dale of the joyous events iust recorded. ( Hiawa 
 and all Canada were siaitltd by the news of the foul murder of one of the 
 grealei-'t of her residents. Thomas I)'.\rcy McClee was shot dead at the door 
 of his lodgings, in Sparks street, on the early morning of the -th .\liril, iSO.S. 
 So cruel a deed had luit been recorded for many years, and Canada sincerely 
 mourned her great loss. Mr. I lesbarals. the owner of the property where the 
 murder took place, '"scrted in the wall, at his own cost, a memorial tablet to 
 the great oraior ,in . statesman ; but a few months later the whole building 
 was completel) destrojed by fire, and the niemento perished in the llaines. 
 
 In 18611 H.K H. I'rince .\rthur, who had come to Canada to join his 
 battalion of the RiHe llrigade, Jiaid a visit to Ottawa and was received with 
 the utmost enthusiasm. The State Hall given in his honour by the two 
 Houses of Parliament, was one of Ihe most magnificent affairs of the sort ever 
 held in the country. < Ker 2,000 persons attended ; the presence of the 
 most distinguished persons in t'anada gave singular brillian( y to the scene. 
 
 With the advent of Parliament and the oftices of government came Her 
 .Majesty's representative, the (ioveruor-tieneriil. For him a resilience had to 
 be found ; it is to be regretted that a decision was arrived at by which an old 
 building was leased, and subsequently purchased for the purpose. Kar better 
 in eVLry w.iy would it have been had the tlovernnient at once proceeded to 
 build an olficial residence for the Viceroy; as it was, the omission was a 
 blunder that has cost the country an enormous sum of money in work of 
 a patching and repairing character, without pleasing anyone, or adding to the 
 reputation of the country. As one of the most populous and largest of 
 the tne lands that make up "(ireater liritain," it is anything but 
 creditable to Canada that the representative of the Crown should 
 have to occupy such a shapeless jumble of buildings as is Rideau 
 Hall : it is with a laugh, and possibly a sneer, that visitors from 
 Kurope. .\ustralia or the Cnited Slates turn away from a view of its con 
 glomerate architecture. The house was built by the late Honourable 
 'I'lionias McKay, one of the first settlers near Hytown ; a native of 'Scotland, 
 and a man who owed his success to hatd work, energy and business ability, 
 He amassed a fortune as a contractor tor part of the Kideaii Canal, and ,ulded 
 materially to his resources by judicious investments in real estate in the 
 vi<:inity, the chiet of these being the jjurchase of about 1000 acres of land at 
 the junction of the Ottawa and Rideau river*, comprising what is now known 
 as New Kdinburgh. In i.s^K, he built Rideau Hall, which, with about 90 
 acres of land, was purchased by the (iovernment in 1S68. The amount of 
 money that has been spent on the place since its acquisition has been enor- 
 mous,— enough to have built a magnificent resilience, worthy ol the use lo 
 which it would h.ive been jiut. 
 
 The occupants of dovernment House since its olficial use have been : 
 
 \ iscount Monck, 
 
 Sir John Young, 
 
 The Karl of 1 lufferin. 
 
 The .Marcpiisof Lome, 
 
 The Mari|uis of l.ansdowne, 
 
 Lord Sianley- 
 
 This brings us to a very interesting bit of local history, — the welcome by 
 the City ol Ottawa to the Marquis of Lome and his Royal wife in the early 
 days of December, 187S. The \'iceregal party arrived at the Capital from 
 Montreal on the and, and great preparations had been made to give them a 
 
 befitting welcome ; arches of an unusually s|)lcndid nature had been erected 
 at various points of the city, and addresses of a most fiirmidable nature were 
 to have been pres- 'ited. The weather, however, was extremely unfavourable 
 and much of the outdoor ceremonial had to be jiostponed. .\ Royal salute 
 was fired from Nepean I'oint as the train entered the station, and a largei 
 though somewhat dain|i, crowd cheered lustily. The civic .address was duly 
 preem<'d by the Mayor, to which His Kxcellency made an suitable reply; 
 the par'y were then escorted to Rideau Hall by the Dragoon Ciuards, then 
 newly otgani/ed. ( 'n ihe fiillowing day, the .Manpiis and Princess proceeded 
 in state to the Senate Chamber, where the former h.id to receive no less than 
 thirteen addresses fnun various societies. C)n the following evening a inag 
 nificent illuininalion of the city took place, during which the Oovernor and 
 his wife drove through the |)rincipal streets under the e.si orl of the Dragoons, 
 and preceded by a torchlight procession. .\ levee was held by His Kxiellencv 
 in the .Senate (.'hainber on the next day, closing a season of right royal wel- 
 come from the citizens of the capital. 
 
 During the jiasl ten years 1 ttt.awa has made great jirogress in iiop'ilation 
 - ill the rapid building up of the <ity — and in all branches of commerce. 
 This growth is, howcwr. largely comprised in rather dry statistics, and has 
 been ai companicd by liitle of an exciting or i>xtraordinary nature.

 Since Ottawa assumed a position in the list of C.iiiadlan cities she has 
 well borne her civic responsibilities. Inallbr.mchesof niunici|ial life her growth 
 has beer steady, and her icc.ird in thi-. respect is hilly eqinl to th.u of sister 
 towns throughout the Dominion. Strictly orthodox in these, as well as in 
 matters of theologv, no starlling deviation from ihe accustomed lines can be 
 recorded. Her civic government h.is been, as cusioinary. by a Mayor and 
 corpor.ition. The municipal act caine into force on istj.inuary. 1S55; and 
 for that year, as well as for thit of the iwo following John Dower Lewis filled 
 the position of .Mayor. In 185s and 1S51) Ivdw.ird McCilivray held the 
 ptLst, succeeded in 1.S60, iSOi and iM>.' by .\lexander Woikman. Since then 
 the .Mayoralty roll has read as follows i-'il'ij, Henry J. I'riel ; iSOj to \%UU_ 
 ^t. K. Dickinson : i.Sf);. Robert Lyon ; i.SoS and i.SOij, IL J. I'riel ; 1S7C and 
 i.S;!, John Rochester; i87Jand 187,5, Kugene Martineau 1,^7) and 1S75, 
 J. P. I'eatlierston ; 1.S7O, (;. li. Lyon- Kellowes, who died during the year, and 
 was succeeded for the balance of the term by \\ . H. Waller , M r. Waller re- 
 mained in olhce during i.'s;; , in iS7,s C. W. Bangs; in \^T). i8,So and i.s.Si, 
 Chiirles H. Mackinlosh, in iS.Sr and iSSj, Dr. St. jean; in 1.S84, C. T. 
 Ilate ; in i8,S5 and i.s.so, F. .McDoiigall : in iS,'<7 and i8,SS, .McLeod Stewart ; 
 m i,s,s,| and i^ijo, Jacob l-.r^att : while this vcai the civic chair is occupied 
 by Thomas llirkett. 
 
 The centre of municipal life, the Cuy Hall, wis erected in iS75atacost 
 of f 'jcDoo. -\rchitecturally, it is of a type common in K.astern Can.ada and 
 calls lor no special remark ; it is well built and commodious, and answers 
 admirably the purpose for which it was erected ( )ther large and handsome 
 public buildings are the Court House. Count; Kegistry olhce, City Registry 
 olhce and the v.irioiis markets, Kcsidenis of 1 Utawa are especially proud of 
 the civic Water Works, and have good reason for their pride. Prior to 1.S72 
 liitle or no system existed, but the long delay resulted in the adoption of a 
 plan unsurpassed in the Dominion. Talk on the subject, appoinlmenl of 
 committees, \c., commenced as early as i.S^o, and for thirteen years it was 
 .1 bone of contention at the meetings of the (.louncil. The wheel house, situ- 
 ated in the western pan of the ciiy, is a very handsome building, kept in ex 
 cel:oiit order . its cap.u ity is about io,ooc,ou.. gallons daily. I'he total cost 
 of the system was a little over .fi, coo, ceo. 
 
 \ll other usual departments of modern civic life, - a Fire llrigade and a 
 lire .Mann Telegraph, (las Works, Police fiirce. Public Siho(>ls, ivc, are to 
 be found in ihe ( apital, fully up to the slandaid of the present dav ; but these 
 call for no comment in a brief sketch such as thi.s.

 The story oi the growth of the various religious bodies in Hytown and 
 Ottawa is a plain and simple one, but should possess interest lo the adherents 
 of the various churches in the city. It appears that the first religious 
 services in Hytown were held by the WesleyanMethodists, SergI ('combs, of 
 the Sappers, a lay exhorter in thit denomination, being the first to publicly 
 hold divine service; this look place in Miss Napps' school-house, in I'pper 
 town, but a regular plai e ol worship was soim afler built in Rideau street, at 
 the corner of ( hapel street, -hence the name 01 the latter road. A fire 
 h.iviiig destroyed the 1 hapel a few years liter, the congregation erected a small 
 stone church on Sparks street , this they occupied until i.^if,). when they built 
 a substantial and commodious church at Ihe corner of (juccn and .Metcalfe 
 streets, the Roman Catholics purchasing the building just vacated. For }]

 Closely following the U'esleyans cauii ihi represeiuatives of ih.- Cluitch 
 of Scotland. I'rior to the building of the lirst kiik, they also used Miss Nap|i's 
 sehoolhous'.'. In iSj.S they put up the first ".St. Andrews," and worshipped 
 within its walls for 45 years, the present magnilicent t;hi.-ih o( the same name 
 being erected on the same site in 1S7.J ( ither prominent I'resbyterian 
 churches are those on Dank street and Haly street — the latter known as Knox 
 church. 
 
 .Service in accordance with the ritual of the Church of l-ngla id existed 
 for several years at Hull before being established in liytown. The lirs' and 
 only church lor inany years was "Christ Churcji," which occupied the -.ame 
 site as ihi present editi< e of that n.iine. It was built on a lot granted by 
 Nicholas Sparks, on the condition that he was to be granted a pew for all 
 time. Karly in the sivenlies the present church was built at a cost of about 
 $45,000 . it is the largest .md lunsl imposing; of the sevi ral Anglican churches 
 in the city 
 
 'I'lie earliest Koman Catholic service in hytowii was held in the hall 
 above the old market, at the head of (ieorge street ; Kev. I'aiher Heron was 
 the olhi i,';mg priest. A few years lalir a wooden church was built on Sussex 
 s'leet. which was used until the opening of the liasilica, ibout the year i,*^(S 
 The latter is by far the most conmiodious and ornate ecclesiastical edifice in 
 the city, with two towers 200 feet in height. It owes much of its grandeur to 
 the exertions of the Rev. Father Telmon, who came from France in i84()- 
 The original oigan was made on the spot in 1S47 by an organ builder from 
 Three Rivers 
 
 We have above bi icily mentioned the principal churches of the four most 
 numerous religious organi/itions in the c ity. Besides these, the llaptist, 
 t.'ongregationalist, Catholic .Apostolic and other bodies have each one or more 
 houses of worship, but none of these d.ite back earlier than llic middle of ihc 
 forties.

 Journalism in Ottawa has been attended with more than the usual pro 
 • ortion of vicissitudes. The first sheet which gave the news of the day, or 
 
 Week, to t!ie llylonians was the Jtt/,i7cn Iiuli^iiulint, a facsimile of the lirst 
 page of which will be seen on page 16 ol this sketch. It was conducted by 
 lames |oh iston, and the editor's introductory remarks are very amusing. Its 
 date was 2|lh j'ebruarv, i.S;'' . its politics. Reform. \ erv few numbers wcret 
 issued, and on i)lh of June in the same year appeared a strong Tory organ, 
 iSe liytown l,\r,<iti\ edited by I Ir. Christie (formerly of the Nbinireal lleralJ) 
 in a remarkably able manner. Tlie leading articles often vigourously advo- 
 cated a confederation of the 1!.N..A, Provinces, and the claims of Hytown as 
 the cajiital to the to-be united ( "anada. After I >r. t^hris'ie's death the Gazttte 
 changed hands frei|ueiuly, and linally suspended. In 1S42 the Otta-wn Ail- 
 : I', ti/i- was established by 1 lawson Kerr, but its existence was very brief. The 
 J'ii,((/ was next in the held, us fust issue being in 1.S4J; it was, in 1.S48, 
 merged into the ('///,(//, just live years in advance ol its legal right to that 
 title. In the same year ( i.S4."<) the \loii,ir,/iisi was started, and continued for 
 six years, after which its name was changed to the I'liion. Ihen came the 
 ihaiii:f /.liy, /•■ /'>\'xi<'s, the Cii>iii,/iri>i .\fi/ita'y inizitli, and the I'lihunc 
 which afterwards lost its identity in the i moii, living lor some time. In 
 185.S came the I'liiinci . in i,Sfi4 us name was changed to the Dath' Xnfs, 
 which lived about 10 years longer. .\ great number of other sheets have 
 been commenced, llickered lor varying periods, and died. I'he only cme 
 worth special mention is the Tiiiui (i.Sfi; 7S) a very creditable paper, which 
 succumbed in a year of remarkable depression, and when the financ:ial strain 
 on all classes was unusu.illy great. CIttawa now boasts four dailies, the Citi 
 •en (1848), h'lic I'liss (iS(>9), /owniii (i.sSj) and I.e C.in,iJ,> 11 879). The 
 people of the capital arc as a whole, a reading class , and the best lournals of 
 the day there ImuI a ready sale and hearty appreciation.

 to the summit of the central tower. The depth ol llie building, from the en 
 trance to the back of the Library is not less than 570 feel. Its disl.uicc from 
 the Wellington street gale, and its great attitude from the river, gi\e it an iin 
 usual grandeur, i'he Library, immediately in rear of the I'arliamtnl build 
 ing, is an architectural gem and well deserves the encomiums that have been 
 passed on it by all visitors, lis only defect is in si/e ; the .innial output ol 
 good lileraliire in the great Kiiglish-speaking countries has assumed mk li 
 enormous proportions that in oruer to keep paie with the expression ipf 
 modern thought — to say nothing of the necessary acipiisition of the biblio 
 grai'hii treasures of the past—more room must soon be found for imoiuing 
 volumes. I he building is octagonal in shape, well lighted, and supplied wilh 
 all aids lor study, the centre of ihe lloor is graced with ,i superb si.itiu of 
 Her Majesty.

 they are slightly less imposing in their proportions : out they are of great ex 
 ternal beauty, and add materially to the general elTeci. In the basement of 
 the wcsu rn block the .\rcbives of C^anadi are securely stoied ; well kepi .ind 
 tystematically indexed they form a collectii n of historic do.uments ai.d Iran

 necessitated ihe Inn. iing in i.s,'^; of a new deii.irtmental bloi k. I'his is situ- 
 ated on ihe south side of Wellington street facing Parliament squ're, and is 
 known as the I angevin Itlock. It is a massive luiilding, not unpleasing in its

 to Trinity Cullegr, Dublin. ' 'n his return he ■-tuditd law, but his inclinations led him 
 into a banking hfe. In a sln_rt time he iKciipurd the position ol director and suhsetjuently 
 president of the * ummeicial Hank of * anida ; hr wa* also a direclor of the Canada I -le 
 Assurance t'noipany. His shrew'inrss on tinancial jue^tions liefore hr entered public life

 looked upon as one of the gicatesi authorises upon monetary and commercial questions in

 "That while he had no inlenlion ti, give factious opposiiion to the (Jovernnicni, his sup 
 port con'd no longer be relied upon.'' In the general clecUnn of 187J he defeated the

 in 1873 he arccpted the porifol o of 1 inantc and entered the I'nvy Council. In 1S78 Ihe

 Mr. (.'liAiiiK.^ II. Ma^ kin I "-II, M.I'., Ottawa, was Lorn in I.ont'<>n,Ont., in 184; Me 
 is tlte son if the late Captain William Ma'^kintosli, tif Wickl^w, Ireland, afterwaicU (."ouniy 
 Kng'neer of Miilillcsfx, Ont.. who canie tn C'anada as an atiactie of the < )r<inance hranch 
 of the liii'ish army. Mr. Mackinu. Ii lias led an uim-uailv Active life, and succwiled in 
 making hi.s way, unai(!e<l, t" a position of honour and intliience. He was e<lucnt«d at the 
 (ialt lirammar School and C'aradoc Academy, two well known inMi!uli()ns at that time. 
 lie cfimiii^nced the study it law, hut cin-ctjuent upon ill health was ohl-yed to relin 
 ()ui*h i'. When almost yet a sch^idb^iy. he had strong impul'es toward :\ literary life. 
 When ihe I'rince of Wales came to Canada in iSho an ode of welcome from the ;>en of 
 Mr. Mackiiitosh, tlicn a youth uf seventeen, uac r.ad in his honour and prcscntfd t'> His 
 Koyal Iliehne?.-.. i wo year.s later, under the itle of " Kat Coiitriliutor," he wrote I'ot the 
 /.Off//. « / tft" JW.< ( a series of brijiht articles which were characteristically named •* Iluiry 
 (iraphs." Theie attiacie<l such wide atler.t'on iiat the entrance oj the younfj writer into 
 j'lUrnaUim wa^ a foregone conclusion. He became tirat a reporter, and soon afttrwards 
 citv editor of the /.'c- /V,m(. His journalistic career was marked by rapiii progress. In 
 1864 he was city editor of the Hamilton /'tific. A \ear later he (<iunded the J'l^f'-i/i ^. of 
 Strathroy, which he conducted until 1S74. In 1S68 he married (ler'rude Cook, dauyh'er 
 of T. ("01. k, J.I'., of Strathroy. In 1871 he f lundcd tlit? I'a-khill <,'>iz./ff, which he con 
 *../.!ed for sttme time, wliilc still manaijiot the /'i\/>ai. h. In the smie year he unsuccess- 
 fully conlcMcd North Middlesex as Conset\ative candidate f'r thf; local lepislature In 
 1871 he viiued Chicago during the fire, and wrote a desmptiun of the tcrrili'e event ; 
 6o,ij«o copies were so'd in two weeks. In 187 ; he was elected a mcmlwr ol the Town 
 Council of Strathroy, in which capacity he exhibited talents iLf, a public man, which .iTter 
 wards showed to t«tter advaniage in a *uier .-phere. relieving in himself, ,i< all rnen do 
 who come to the front in human altjirs, h- ileiiberately proceeded to lit hiirself for a 
 higher place in public life. Thinking that the pro ection svhtem, which had long Itecn 
 establishtii ir the Initcd S'ates, would r-. nie up for active discusion in Canada, he went 
 to ». hica(,'o, accepting li.e poniton of managing editor o) the Chicago Joutn.i/ ■/<'■. mm?}, t. 
 While a resilient in the wesiern metiopcdis he '-ludieii tan-fu'ly the protection )-ysiem, as 
 well at other institutions of tiie t_ nitcil Stalet, lie also wrote a graphic account of the 
 Inited States "panic of 187 ^." Keturn'ng to (.'ana 'a he decbnedan editorial position on 
 llie Mittl . sv.ld out his i^^cre^l in the htr^throy />i<r*!i' h, and went to <-)ttawa in 1874, 
 where he Ixtame editor ot the Ottawa f iln.u^ the Coruervative inirnal r f the Capital, 
 then in oppr>sttinn. He at once attracted allcnt'.on, not .nly because ol the vigoun.us 
 management and writing <»( tlie < inu-ti. but because of tl e ac ue iiuerest he di'jdayed in 
 public i[uestions. M the celebtaiion of the ' )'(.orinell centennial he wrote a poem which 
 won the gold and silver medal ovi r many others submitted. He was an ardent pro- 
 tecltonist long before the ConseivAiivf party acce|)tcd that system as a ptank in their 
 platfoim, and must lie coun'e<l as "tic of the lesL-rs in that great movement. In 1S77 
 the late John Kiord< n. of St, C«tlterine.s, urged Mr. Mackin'osh to co operate with him in 
 reorganizing the lAii/, ))ut the oiler was ak.ain declined. I lis active interest in public 
 aflairs, combineil wuh an unusua* nhare of thubc <jualit'es which make men popular with 
 their fellows, caused him to lie nnminnted as mayor of lltlawa in 187(1. *^^ *he result of 
 the el'Clion was his re'urn by a very large ma)'ir ty. In the two succec'ling yrar« he was 
 re elected, and though unseated, <m a 'echnical ly, afur the Ihrd contest, he was .1 fourth 
 lime favi ured wiih the support of the pc()ple and fulhlled his term. As mayoi of the 
 capital of Canada, he inaugurated many refjrnis vhich have proved of the greatest Itencht 
 to the c'ly. In the general election o) 1882 he »ias tne of the ( onservative candidates in 
 C*itawa for the House of (. onimons, and h th he and his collr»guc were elected by sweep 
 ing ma|ontie«. During his term in I'arliament he made ieveral si>eeches, which wefe 
 marked by a combination of keen common s'-nte, full infonnition and hni«hed oratory. 
 lie spoke but stldom ; but when he took the lloo' he aluayt Mcurcd a careful ami atten' 
 
 tive hearing Mr M .ckmtosli lei^igned hi- seat f n Ottawa in July, 18S6, but a' the re 
 q est of his friends agreed to hold it luril the dr.solution, v . z\) he did. Thecapiid of 
 Canada is n 1 lied of roses for any active or generous man, and thus the seni ir memlwr 
 fouPii U, hence his positivt oliecii-n to being again a candidate. In 1887, at the general 
 election, Mr. Mackintosh, by ihe unanimous wish of the < im^ervative party, :;t>ntesipd the 
 Couniy of kusell against Mr. W. C. l-.lwaids. ihc larges! manuUctnrer in the County, 
 and was defeated by a narrow inajotiiy, owing mainly to the feeling against llie tio\cin- 
 ment bv the !■ rench (.■anailiaiis, aroused by the executu)n of Keil. He pulled 2,14" vote*, 
 01 nco more than were eve: t'^en to a tionseivative candidate in that County. The Home 
 Rule and Keil cries contentrnted at least i,7*x) votes solidly agiinsl any tlonservattve 
 nrminee, the constituency Iwing largely Catholic. In i88S Mr. Mackintosh was le'juested 
 to iw a candidate for the mayoralty, but declined, having leturned to j (urnali-m. besides 
 Itectmiing largely interested in the development of electric machinery. \n April, iSijo the 
 senior nifiuber for Ottawa, Mr. Te'ley, died ; and af,er much pressure from his Ic'dtr, the 
 late Sir John Macdonald, Mr. Mackintosh ottered himself for the consiituenry. Me was 
 opposed by Lilwr.il and Ktjual Kights candi<iates, but elected by over io<k) niaj Ttty. He 
 then V sited Fngland and Iwcauie interested in electric woiks in Wesl)ourne ''ark, near 
 1 .4indon, anil was oitered the chai m in^hip of a con, lany about to stau in Canada, called 
 "Tile Anglo ( anadian Klectric Supply at»d Storag** (ompany. " f r whicli legislation wiia

 cfived a cable announcing the <tis8olutiori of I'arinm -r.t, and accomiianied Sir < harlcs

 where he is said to lia^e rendered great service as a platform speaker, -all the (."onserva

 about 1,100 ui ijtnty o^e^ the highest and .•,.V""' "^'<^'' ^^^ lowest opponent, -two losing

 The Hi^N jAMi.^ KiiHERi C.uwAN, LL.I>., 'J.C., Senator, Harrie, (")ni.— Todo )ui 
 tice to the pait life of Senator < lowan and his labours for the welfare of the countiy of 
 his aduptinn would tax a far larger space than is availahte in a wf)rk of this kind. 
 Numerous sketches uf his life have appcaicl from lime to time, but all of tht-m 
 abreviated. it is to le sincerciy hoped that some day we shall have a. full and 
 comprehensive history writ'en of a life that ha* Iwen and is of such importance to this 
 country. Senator (.lowin is one of that brillunt coterie of Irishriicn whose names wilt 
 endure in the annaU nf (.'aiiada's early stnujkjle and development. He was born 1 tec. 
 22nd, iSii;, in the County "f Wexford, Ireland, and in 1S52 eminiaied to this country 
 with hu father, the laie H. Cowan, Ksij., who set' led in the township of Albion, and after 
 wards l>ecanie Cleik of the down and I'leas (or Simcoc county Vuunj; (jowan',' educa- 
 tion, l)ei;un ir Ireland, was hnishcd in this country, and he entered upon the study ol 
 law with tlie Hon. Janics t. >mall, Toronto. In iS vi he was called to the Itar, and 
 immediately enieied into partnerfhip wiih Mr. .Small. His lirilliant abilities at once 
 made htm a man of mark, an<l only four years had elapseil when he was appointed jud^c 
 of the judicial distiict of Simcoe, the largf>t in I'pjwr Canada, and one that tixed his 
 energies to the uimuit. He was then only twenty-eight years old-tht youngest m.iii 
 ever entrusted with Her Majetity's comim8.sion as a judge, liut an important incident in 
 his career, ard one that emihasises the patriolisr-i of (he man, had (ran^pired prior t.i 
 th'.s. The rebellion of 1.^37-38 bmke out and was luelkd, and on the list of nhicers who 
 served during ihe trouble was the name of l.ifut. (lowan, of the 4lh Regiment. North 
 York Militia, lo be presiding judge over the district assigned to Judge Oowan r«(piiie<i 
 far more than mere legal ijualihcations. It called for boundless energy and eniluranct-. 
 He was fre<iuently com[)elled to ride, gen>^iitlly on horseback, sixty or seventy miles a 'lay 
 through a country, large tracts of which were sparsely settled - if settled at all. It l^ tohl 
 thai the Judge once narrowly escaped death in a forest tiie, and at another time was nrdy 
 saved from drowning in a swollen stream by clinging to his horse's tail, having l>een un- 
 horsed in the (icrce cunent of the ford. Such, however, were the energy and .'cal of 
 Judge (iowan that it rarely happened 'l.at hr was late for his appiintmcnis, » >f his ability 
 a^ a judge, it need only be noted tlut in \\\^ forty one years nt service in that canacity, 
 only two of his decisions weie reversed on appeal. The i'an :-ia / ■lu /^ /»'«,// says ; 
 ■* All of his jiMlgments that we have have rea t are clear in diction, dignihed and concise, 
 entirely free from any pamde of learning or affectation ; two ol^jects seemed to absorb the 
 attention of the Judge, (i) properly to aitju't the disputed rights of the parlies ; (2) u> 
 estatilihh a rule by which similar <iuestion» may be solved in the future, and if possible to 
 bring each case within the scope of some geneial principle which he had enunciitcd aril 
 dehned, guarding it, however, with proper cimditions and exceptions." 1- lom Ins 
 knowledge and atllietence to the constitutional prin'-'oles »>( law Judge ( .owan's decisions 
 were m^^t valuable as a set of precedents, which are nt.>w part ol the law ol the country. 
 His wTvices in the reform and regulation of thr legal pru^edunr of the several courts of 
 Onlario, in iii04letling the municipal !.yslem in Canada, and in the C(Miihcation <>\ the 
 criminal and statute law in old Canada and ii. the I'ominion are simply ine^itimalile. 
 " Towards the organi/.ation and practical working out of our complicated municipal sy-- 
 tcm," says the i'.tn,iJii /<!■.■ ) utmii, "ludge (iowan has contril>uted more than any 
 other one individual. His skill ax a legal itraughtsman was so great and .sri widely recog 
 nwed ttiat while )et under thirty his services were availed of by Attorney deneral llaldwm 
 in the preparation of important measures, and were afterwarls S(ru((ht and obtained by 
 Mr. Baldwin's successors in oliice for a like purpose. Many important acth of parliameni, 
 as well as needed amendments to existing statutes owe th-ir origin to his ability and skill, 
 to that apart from his par'iamentary career he has left a distinct mark on Canadian legis 
 talion." The aid they had received from him was publicly acknnwle<iged in the moslgtace- 
 ftfl terms by Sir Wm. H. Kichaidf. Sir lohn A MacdonaUl And others who hllcd the ufhce 
 ot Attorney Gencal for ' pper f anada, When the statulen for Upper (.Canada from |-(>j 
 to 1858 were to be consolidated, Judge liowan was reijuested by the Governur-General tu 
 cO'Optiat* with Sir Jamti Mkcaulty in the work, and conMnttd. Thii coniolidalion be- 
 
 came law, and is justly descrilied as a monument of industry, care and abili'./. 'Ihe 
 public general statute* applying lo both Upi>er a"d I.'»wer C'anadi were consolidated at 
 the same time, (1. \V. Wickstead, \'.l"., taking the chief part, lioth he and Sir Jamei 
 MacauUy boie grateful testimony to ihe valunblc aid rendered by fud^'e Cowan. A like 
 valuable service was rendere<l in the consolidation of the i riminal Cnvv in 1S60. with 
 valuable additions and improvements, now the law (A the D'^rninion. In 1S71 the judge 
 was ap|>ointed a mend»er td a commmission to emjuiie into the con<iilution and jurisprud ■ 
 ence of the icveral lOurt.s of law and Kquity, etc., similar ti the I'.ngUsh Judicature 
 Con oiission. The commission was superseded, but not before cinsidcrable progress had 
 been made in formulating a bill on the ha^is of a fuHon of lau anti e<|uitv. ludge Cowan, 
 in 1^7 t, was appointetl one of the three judges who forme<l ih^* Unyal Cominissitm in the 
 well known matter of the great ** I'acitic Scandiil," a most dillicult and ilelu'ate position, 
 but one in which he manifested the same ability and judicial tairness that have character- 
 ized him throughout. Judge Cowan was also a iiieml>er of the commission that consili- 
 dated, in 1S76, the S atule Iaw of Ontario, It should Ire added that his work In this and 
 all similar matters was purely gratuitous. When the dispute between the (ioTernment 
 and the contractors for the I'arllaineni Huildings at l)it:.»a, Involving a verv la'ge amount, 
 Mas tinally submitted to arbitrati -n, it was agreed that an (.'ntari r ludge should l>e one of 
 the thiee meml^crs of the commission. The name ol Ju''ge 1 .owan was at unce presented 
 and accepted by both parties, and he presi<le<l with great patienre, judgment and ability 
 over the dclilierations of the commission. The result of their labours wa.s accepted as 
 eminentlv satisfactory. In 1SS2 Judge ii iwan was appointed to the High Com* of {us- 
 tlce, lie was chaiimin of the Hoard of judges f«»r <)iiiario from iSootoiSS;. In iS8_;, 
 after a continuous and most arduous service foi forty one years, h< rttired fr()m the Bench, 
 to ilie great regret of all, Hut he w«.s still a vigorous man, ard could not be permitted to 
 remain in complete tetirernent On [anuary i^\h, 1SS5, he was called to the Senate, an 
 appointment that was hailed with universal satl'^faction throughout the country. Senator 
 (iowan was made a federal C'-C- in 18KS. In i88| he receiveil the honorary degree of 
 II, 1), from i/ueen's I'mversuy, Kingston, a lilting recognition of his eminent services in 
 I'ehalf of education, to which he devote! t>oih time and energv. He has been chairman 
 of the Harrie Collegiate In.-.ntutc sine-? iSSi, Iwing re elcctcl e.ich year. He was also 
 chairnian of the Hoaril of Public Instruction at Harrie throughout its existance, /''.- 
 ''//><■' Ctittihi,! /,j:. 'V/c «,.-, owes its eBtablishmcni, in iSS;;;, to Judge Cowan, and much 
 of its success since then. His fame has gone beyond tlie tniunds of t.'anada, and many 
 (littering notices of the -lislinguished jurist have appeared in Icavling journals in l-'.nglan'l 
 and Ireland. In iS.)0. while in I-t-land, he h 'd the un .iie an<l honourable distinction of 
 lieing called to the Irish liar as a memVr of the Hon .urable ^ >:iety of King's Inns. 
 His career in the Senate has Item not less active than when lie was<m his circuit In 1KS8 he 
 framed and intro<biced rules reforming the pr»>cedure m the Senate with respect to appli- 
 rations for divorce, which rules were ultimately adop'ed by the House. In the fesslonof 1.S80 
 he introduced a i]uestlon relative to the ptopneiy of the abolition id grand juiies, and his 
 speecli on that occasion, as on all others when hr has risen in ih'- llous-, was marked l>y 
 a wealih of knowledge and research, coupled *uh experience that made it n most vabiable 
 ac luisilion to the sum of general imf >rniation on this impt)rtant sulijett. No mcml>ei of 
 the >en te gives more conscientious, th )rough and intelligent attention to his duties than 
 does Se^at' r (iowan. Much might l>e adiled relative to the evidences of personal popu- 
 lart'.y he has receivd Irom all .pjarters. One that nuy be taken as an instance is the 
 presentation an<l addresses by the Har. the county oiticia's and ott'icers of the cou»^(s of 
 Simcoe county on his retirement in 18.S}. He was then presented with a inagniticcnt 
 piece of pUte, made bv the "(iold-^ndlh and Silversmith Manufacturing Conipiny," of 
 Ixjntlon. It was not only a costly article, but a rarely twautiful work of ait, both in de 
 sign anil iinish. The Simcoe Municipal Council also presented him with a handsome 
 sou.enir, and fiom all sides hf was the recipient of assurances of the ni/tst sincere regard. 
 A man ot the highest character, of unbiased mind and actiMleil by tlie most worthy and 
 patriotic motives, Seniior (i'i*an hai made a ni.irk on the lui'ory of his country iha* 
 time cann' t eftiace.

 the township of Ancaster, County of Wentwor'h, and attended the Woodstock tirammar 
 Khool, where he received the education that has l)een the foundation of his success in life. 
 After leaving school he entered businesj in Woodstock, always taking an active interest in 
 the aliairs of the city. He ut for many years as a member ol the municipal council, and 
 held Ihc oflice of reeve during the years 1S78 and 1S79. In the lollowinjf year (18S0) he 
 became mayor of the town. He is also an active member of the High School buard. 
 Having been so closely connected with local atiairs lor many years, being a large pro- 
 perty owner, and heavily interested in mercantile enterprise*, he was nominated by the 
 Liberals to repre.'^ent his constituency in the House of Commons in iSSo, on the death of 
 the late men'ber, and was triumphantly ei';cred. He was re elected at the general elec- 
 tions in t8S.» and iSft, . Il may be taken as conciufii»e evidence of the value of his services 
 and his popularity in North 0\l r l, %'(ifr» ii i- ,aM that al the last general election he was

 entry into political lilf was in iSSt, when he was returned by the c mniy ol Montmorency

 t»eing convinced that he was the most suitable man to represent them in the (.'omnions at

 considerable majority. The voters of Heauce county have never had reason to regret their 
 choice, fur a more fair minded or energetic repre*ent%tive could not be found In all par-

 I'rovinces I )f Hritish North America the result l-.ing the adoption of the '.hirbec resolu 
 lions. Itut although in .avor of Conferleration, Mr. Mi'Ier strongly oppj^ed and denounced 
 the *Jucl>ec scheme of I riion as imjust in many of its detiils, es(K'cia!ly in its financial 
 arrangements, to the >nialler provinces, ^nd p.irlicularly to the Trovinee of Novn Scorin. 
 The first public demonitraiion of importance wi N"va Scoiia, or, ndecti, in the Maritime 
 Trovincei, against the t.tucbec resolutions, was a mass meeting in Temper»nce Hall, in the 
 
 City of Halifax, neat the end ol |)ecenil»er, iSri4, at which Mr. Miller was <me of the chte 
 
 speakers, and the proceedings of whit li weic fully reported in the m'wspa|Hrs nf that day. 
 Among his opening remarks is to Ik' found the followinj; pangraph : -" I do not wi.di, Mr. 
 Mayor, that my appearance on ihis platfoim to-night should I»e consirned into (.pfHtHiiion In 
 a I nion of British America on lair terms. I am not op|h»sei| to, but on the contrary, would 
 ■«iip]>ort a union ba<ved on soniut priiuiplvs and etpntable terms. Kui I e.mnot ratify the im- 
 provident bargain our deleijates have mode, U-causc it is unjust to thi-« province.'" While, 
 therefore, a /eahius »iip|H>rter of the I'linciple of Cnion, ihe ineinU-r for Kichmoi.d strenu- 
 ously opposed the financial cimdilioiih of the <,»uek-c scheme, which he largely contributed 
 to tender si» obnnitious to .'ic |Kople, that it* rejecli<m by ihe electorate was ine\ilnble. Al 
 this crisis in the history "f hisiuiive province, Mr. Miller clearly realized ih.il the i^tpnlar 
 mind was fast iH.-coming hostile to any scheme ^f I nion whatever, and that there was danger 
 of the cimipletc collaps*- of the m"vemcnt inauguratcil at » harloiietitwn. .\> this was not 
 his desire, he th-iermined to a\eri ihe impending disaster. Senator Miller has been invari 
 ably disiiiiguished fitt ihe fearless utterance o( his <»pinions, never tacking the courage '>t 
 his conviction-. : and al this eveniful period in his careci he iKiJdly adopted a i ourse of action 
 which sav'.d ihe Cnion cause from irretrievable defeat, although ai the exi-enn- of his own 
 impulflrity for a while in his native province. Me evi<lenth, desired and uuieav-aired to (ind 
 .1 common standing gnmnd for Ihe frit mis an<l op|Hments .if the great measure agitating the 
 |K.tiple ; and it was on hi-■^ suggestitMi, ami with bis assistance, ihat ihe comproiidsc was 
 edeeieil in the h^jislative session of iSdd, untler which llic delegation to 1 nglantl was 
 apjHiinted in that year to stcuie. undei ti)e auspices ft the Imjierial < .overnment, such nio- 
 ilihcaliim i)f the <.>uel>ec schem. as wouUl make it nii.re fail ant! acceptable tti 'he people of

 the reawm.s that rendered it desirable itiat the IriemK ol Cnion should compromis.- their 
 iliHerencts, ami seek to attain the emi they h.i<l in view, he continued hi; ailtlress in the 
 following language : " Now, sir, bidding the opinion I ihi in reference to this great que-iitm

 by the press of ihis country, and, I admit, not unfairly asked, to tietine my posituui. 1 have 
 been askeii to justify my contUict in t'Pi>osing a scheme cmUxlying a principle to which 1

 of our situation. It a legislative Cnion were practicable. I would preler adapting 
 the federal principle in ftiiming a Cni..n of iUitish North .\merica. Accept

 ber of one of the oldest families in the Montreal district. Me is a son of Mr. Michael 
 Ouimet, J I'., and was bom at S(e. Kose, r.i,>,, on May 20th, 1848. His education was 
 received at the Seminary o( Ste. Therese dc lUtinville and \"ictoria College, Cobourg, 
 where he graduated in l86(> with the deforce of l.I.ll. Havinj; choren the law as his pro- 
 fession he was called to the t.'uebec bar in 1870, and has since pursued an eminently suc- 
 cessful legal career, being now the head of the well known Montreal firm of Ouimet ^ 
 Kmard. He was apjiointed a (.'Ufen's Counsel in 1S80, when he was aUo appr inted 
 Crown i'rosecutnr jointly with Mr., now Justice, <'ha«. 1". Davidson. They both tilled that 
 very important ofTtce with the greatest efficiency and honour until 1887. Col. Ouimet has 
 always taken an active interest in military affairs, an-l rose to »hr rank of I.ieut. Colonel 
 of ihc f'5th Battalion, Mount Royal Rifles, which he crmmanded dunng the Northwest 
 rebellion of 1885. f lis battalion was in the field in the I^dnionton district, and I.ieut.-Cnl. 
 Ouimet rrnderea valuable service in pacifying the Indians and prevailing upon the half 
 breeds to maintain their loyalty to the (iovernment. CoJ. Ouimet has l>een for the last 
 three years, and is yet, chairman of the Council of the Dominion KiHe Association, and has 
 always been a warm friend of that nrgtni/ation. H* is interested in educational work, and 
 in 1874 was appointed a memlter of the Board of Roman Catholic School Trustees for 
 Montreal. The parliamentary experience of CdV Ouimet, for a man of his years, has been 
 remarkably long and successful. In Octoler, 187^, when only ^5 years old. he wai re- 
 turned to pa^llamen^ after n tietce tight, against Mr I.. O. David, one of the brighte«t 
 champions of the Litieral party, lie wait re elected by acclamation at the general elec 
 tions cf 1S74, and agam in 1878 and 1887. He was also relumed in 181^1, and from 1 ^th 
 April, 1S87, to the close of the sixth parliament in 1 891, he held the honourable posit>im 
 of Speaker of the House cf Commons, an (>tTire for which his ability and experience am)dy 
 fitted him. Col, Ouimet possesses a wide knowledge and clear grasp uf pubhc altairt in 
 Canada, and is an able and eli i]uent speaker. Still in hit pr.me. there seems every reason 
 to piedict for him a continued career i<f eminence and usefulness. In politics he is an In 
 dependent Consei vative, an advocate of provincial rights and a strong protedionist. i'ol. 
 OuimcL is a director of the Montreal City and Dtslrtct Savings Uank and president of (he 
 Laval Acncultural Sc>ciety. On M^y 30tb. 1S74, he was united in marriage with Theresa,

 may be gathered from the above. Dr. Weldon is a recognize<l authority on cnnstUutional 
 law, his extensive studies and researches having made him < ne of the most, celebrated in 
 Canada. He was nominated for electu>n in Alliert County by the Conservative party ni

 have one of two appointments to l>e made from New Brunswick. Mr. I'oirier was accord- 
 ingly appointed, an appointment that was receivetl by his friends wuh much satisfaction, 
 as al.soby the other meml>ers of the .Senate. Mr. I'oirier has always been a Liberal-Con-

 trii t. I hiwever, it nmsi lie- mentioned that in iSso he iirst entered [aiMic lite, U-tng elected 
 reeve of tin- township of .Marklmni, a posiiimi which he t'dled with the highest credit. Mr. 
 Keesor had from his youth Inren lond of literature and literary |)ur.«uits, and consistent with 
 the word.s of John Pryden, tht ]»oet : 
 
 "What ihr child admireil, 
 
 The youih endeavoured 
 
 And the man acnuired." 
 Mr. Keesor eslal'lished a newspaper in iS^s known as /'/te Af.irlhitm /:m.-«i'w// /, which he 
 ahly and successfully ediifi for six years ; the pa[K-i being afterwards coniimied, Iml not by 
 him ['crsonally. hjoni ihc yeais 1S50 to iS(>c) he was in the town and county council of

 lai lire ft>r se\en years successively, and at confetletiUion was rtp)>()inled senator loi lite by 
 Koy.il proclainati()n. It is now ji years since he entered the (xiliiical arena, and there are 
 only alM'ut six living senators who were Mi. Kecsor's rojleagues, he Iwmg to-day one of the 
 oldest and most able senators in the IIoum'. I'ersoiuily the suNject of our sketch is warm 
 and sincere in friendship, ci>uiie-m- in his manner, and kindly In all his relations. Thi^ is 
 much to Ik* able t-i say a)»oui the private character of a man ; and we can s|«nk in the ^ame 
 appreciative strain res|>ecting hi* piililic career. His public life has been an rven one, I)eing 
 juilicial rather than partisan, lie took pan in the debate on coiitedera ion in 1867, and is 
 widel) known as a clear and foriib'e speaker. In almost exery movement of the age he 
 hii-i tteen a participant, whe her that movement It- social, scieniiiic, philanthftipic, p<ilit'cal 
 or religious. He has \\\v honour of in-'ing the jocnder of M.irkhain High Sch'Mtl, nn ins'i-

 world o| (onimetre. the woild of jhiliiics, nor the world ot le ters have heli! him entirely 
 for its i>wn, ytt he may Ik* said to ha\e tuxlden every stage with success. I le has l>een con- 
 nected with the Markham Agiicuiiural Society, presiilent ot the Hible .Society, and was 
 many years trustee of the (iranmmr School. He is a hearty supporter of unrestnetcil re- 
 ctpievcity, Sir Kichard ("artwright and the Hon. Wilfred Lauriet, and at one time sought an 
 amendment to retain the elective principle in the Senaie, being -tmngly op)M.H'<! to the life 
 system. Mis opinii>n on separate schtxils is that they are a mistake, he lielieving that 
 classes should mix m the common a- well as the high schiHpls. He is a strong mm, Itccause 
 he is prutlent, far seeing, practical and well informed, and in times of confusion and hurry 
 may Ik.- relied ui>on to be ccml, antl ready to deliver wise, calm counsels. AI>ove all, 
 Mi. Keesiir is a man of the highest [>erson.il honour.

 To Iw able to conciliate so many interesti »rd harmoni/e them, s" as to secure consecuiive 
 electitms by overwhelniinfi maiiritie*. is the l>est evidence ihn ihe subject of this sketch 
 powteases talents of ro menn oulrr. Mr. Ciirran -was b.irn in the citv oi Montreal, on the 
 2ind day of Icbiuary, 1X4^. f li- fa'hrr, t harles ( urran, a native of the County l>own, 
 Ireland, and hi& m<>ther, Sa;ah Keni-edy. of the County Wexfcrd, came to Cana<la early 
 in the pre5ent century, lie conmencfi' his classical course at St. Mary's CoUeK*". Mont

 entered the law faculty "f Mcfiill College, and, in iSoj, ^jracUiate^l there as I'.C 1... at the 
 age of 2n. In March of ihe following yesr he wa-; called to the bar of Lower Canada, and 
 in February, iH-f), wa» made a ','ueen'fi ( ourstl by patent from the '.'uebet; (I'.vcrnmoni. 
 In 1S82 the I'ormmrn (lovernment also grantc' bim the patent of ','.C., and in the >.imc

 of tht bar Mr, ( urran has achieved a high rc[iuiatii>n ; he ha** no sui^rnor as a fdreiisic 
 speaker, and is well versed in civil and criminal law. I'ublic life has had an attracii n 
 for him. At an earlv age, from his lH»yhn(Mt, hi-^ name figures in the preB> of the country. 
 He joined the St. I'atnck's Society xt the age of i-^, and took a prnnuneiu part in it<i ir- 
 cori>oration and advancing its interests for many years. At the latl annual meetinj; uf 
 that body the ollice of prest<lrnt was conferred upon him by acclamation. A great ileal cf 
 Ml. I urran's popularity has been acijuirtu through his generosity, m placing his oratoriril 
 and literary abilities at the dit-poiial of charitable and benevolent i^ocieiies, and by the <\tt\: 
 interest he has alwaya manifested for popular educaliun. There ib M:arcely a citv or town

 in opposition to the Hon. L. S. II iniirgijon. a rnemtier of the Macken/ie arlministratmn, 
 but, to use his own expression, he was amongst the "slaughtered innocents," alt'oughhr 
 made a gallant tight. In the contest of iS8i he was elected for the present constituency 
 by a majority ot nearly I ico over his * pporent, Mr. Aid. W. I arrell. In iSS;- he was 
 reelected over Mr. H. J. Cloran, the majority being 1)41, an<i, as above *tate't, in il.e re- 
 cent campaign he was again vtctorirus. defeating his adversary, Mr. K (luerin, )>y ii3o. 
 In parliament Mr. Curran's csreer has l>een as brilliant us it has been useful. He has 
 been indelaligable in his eti'orts to promote the inteiests of his constituents, and has in 
 variably contii^uteH to the debates if the Hou'e on '|uestions 1 f general importance. I'hat

 The H.iN. SiK j. \\ k Ai>.'l.iiiB Cakos, K.C.M.O., <^».C., P.C, Minister of 
 Militia and Defence, M.P. for Rlmouski, was born in the City of (.mebec in 184 j. He is the 
 ellifst surviving son ofthe late Hon. K. \\, Carnn, Lieutenant ''.overnor of the Provnicc 
 of '^tucbec. Tne Caron family is an ancient one, and many of its members from time to 
 time h"ld distinguished place* in the State. Sir Adolphe received his eUucation at the 
 Seminary of (Jueltec, at I-aval C'liver-ity, an I at the Cniversily of McCiill, graduating 
 from the last named instUulion in 1865, and receiving the H.C.L. degree. Choosinj.' the 
 law as his profession, he studied under distinguished lawyers, at first with L. (i Hail- 
 lairge, ",*.('., ami sib;.c>iut,*ntly with the Hon. Sir John Rose. Hart. In May, 1879, he 
 was appointed a \iueen s Couniel. The law did not absorb his entire attention, he 
 devoting considerable limt to outsule industries. He has been a director of the Stada- 
 cona Hank, Vice I'resi 'cut ol the Literary and Historical So;iety of t,>uebec, and also 
 other public institutions. S'r Adolphe Car.m was hrst returned to Parliament in March, 
 1873. Kver since that time he has been re elected to the House, being at two general 
 elections returned by acclamation. He has provetl himself on every occasion an indus- 
 liious and practical niemlwr of the llcuse of Commons, and those who observed him 
 closely had no difhcully in predicting that sooner or later his abilities would I>e recognized 
 in a substantial manner. Sir fohn Macdonald, who was a keen observer, always on the 
 ./«! ,• tie for talent, soon discovered that there was no little worth in Mr. Caron, and the 
 discovery resulted in his being sworn on Novemlwr .>th, tS8o, a memlwr of the Privy 
 Council and Minister of Militia. Matters ran along smoothly until the winter of 18S5, 
 when the news spread like wddtire that several policemen and civilians had fallen before 
 a b:>dy of armed rebels in the North West. Ihe theatre of revolt was far away ; it could 
 not l.« reached by railroad, for almost interminable stretches of wddcrness lay Iwfore 
 whomsoc.er should go there to re-.isserl the majesty of the law, Here was Sir Adolphe'i 
 opportunity, ami he rose to the occasion. He was not discouraged, ami there was no 
 hesitation on his part. Promptly and tirmly he graT'pled with the difficulty. The celerity 
 with which he placed his troops at different points in the territories, in the face of long 
 and dilticult marching, and at an inclement seascin, has left him a br'ght page in the mili 
 tary annals ofthe Dominion of Canada. Ii is doubtful if there is to be found in the history 
 of ordinary wars a record showing nwire promptness of design and action than this upris 
 ing enabled our militia department to display. His Excellency the Marquis of Lansdowne, 
 then < lovernnr Cieneral, a man of superior judgment, lecognizr .1 the efficiency of the min- 
 ister in this lime of pctil, and communicated the fact to the Im^ierial <jovernment, recom- 
 mending that he should receive due recognition from the Crown. That recognition came, 
 and the laurels which he had nobly won were ci )wned by knighthoo^l. At the las' gen- 
 cr>I election Sir Adolphe was a candidate not a'one for Rimouski, but also for the County 
 of Chicuutimi. In the latter he was defeated by his l.ilkeral opponent. Mr. savard, by a 
 majority of 118. but in Kim" Sir Adolphe carried the day by a majority of 271. 
 
 Kver since ei.tering politics I ^ represented the Province ol (^)uebec in the 
 House of Commons, and he has , lu see the day when nominated that he <\ot% not te- 
 ceive l!ic vote of many ol the political opponents of his parly.

 of the Pillsbury Milling Co., of MinneapDbs, while the youngest it making his mark in 
 the employ of Messrs. doldie ^ McCullogh, of <ialt. To the dauntle-s courage and 
 wisdom of her mother, who fought many of life's t>attles with a fcarlcvs spfit an! smiting 
 face, "Our Klitor" owci much. Her childhxnl was that of a romping girl, full of lite 
 and spirits, with a fondness for observing the world Irom the branches r.f ihe highest tree 
 she could climb. Mer early education was received from such educationalists as Trof. N, 
 li, Webster and Miss A. M. Harmon, whose teaching will live in the lives of their pu)' Is 
 when they have t)«n called home to iheir reward. The twD last yeari of her sch'Kjl life 
 were spent in M mtreal, at Mate Hou&e, under the wise and loving guidance of Miss Annie 
 Mcintosh, where she received a blessing that brightened all her after life. Her first 
 Christian work, af^er school 'lays were over, was that of Sunday School leaching ; when she 
 taught a class in St. Andrew's Church Sunday School under Ke\. Lj. M. dndon's super- 
 intendence. Her twelve girls have been with her since they cama'out of the infam diss, 
 and her aim is tu send them out into the world earnest Christian s{>eciahfits. In her, 
 Rev. T. W. Herridge, the present pastor, finds a valuable helper in his lalxiu.s. Like

 joined the Woman's Christian Temperance I'nion, beginning as a memlwr of one of the 
 committees, steadily increasing her w6rk, antil she accepted the h'>nour.ib!e position which 
 she n'lw so ably tills. Energetic, she is well suited to the position of buiiness mansger ;

 C K. C'lNNiNuiiAM, Manager Metropolitan [<oan &• Sivingi ( o and Insuranct Ke- 
 pretcniative, ilo Wellington street. —This work, where many publi: men arc given 
 notice and where the commercial and imiurtriai enterprises of U:tawa are deicrlbed, 
 would lie gravely wanting and wholly incomplete without a short biography of Mr. C. K. 
 Cunningham, of 1 10 Wellington street. This estimable ct(izen is of Scotch descent, 
 being born at Stewarton, Ayreshtre. Scotland, in the year 1817, and receive*! his early 
 education there at Itrownlee's Academy, afterwards completing his studies in dlasgow. 
 At a veiy early age the subject of our sketch gave eviilence of possessing accurate 6nan- 
 cial knowledge and very capable (uiMness pialities, and was for seven y?ar> engaged as « 
 wholesale and retail grocer in « I'ugow. He was succesiful in every respect ; nut being 
 ottered a lucrative position as repiesentative of the well known dry goods and grocery 
 houte of Messrs. Ilerr '^ Otioa, in Ottawa, Canada he accepted, and settled in this 
 city then but a small place, in 1853 He ably and m'>at creditably represented his firm 
 lior five years, when in 1S57 he again entereil business for himself, this time, however, in 
 dry goods alune, iieing one of the favDuiably known firm of Cunningham, Hatclay 6^ 
 I,ind*ay. I nbuumled prosperity attended their prudent and conservative ininagrment, 
 but in 1S71) Mr, Cunningham scld out, his ambiti m nut yet being satisHed. In 1872 hti 
 superior education and b'jsiness ability were apptrciated and he was appointed secretary- 
 treasurer of the conimiisioners fjr building tue water wi^rks in this city, being also in th9 
 
 MK. C R. ClNNINtlHAM. 
 
 same year chosen as secretary treasurer for the Vetropolitan Uian ^ Savingo Co., and he 
 still maintains the latter posit-on, while it might be mentioned that this company, which 
 is to day stronger in its resources and better managed than at any former period of its his- 
 tory, owes its mark'd progress and success in the Capital largely to the energy, enterprise 
 and rare executive ability of Charles R. Cunningham. In 1S77 he resigned his position 
 on the water works, an olt:ce for which he was eminently qualified and which he ably 
 fillerl, and devoted his whole lime 10 the I.'^an 6- Savings Company, afterwards taking an 
 agency f > r several prominent insurance companies. He now represents the North 
 British and Mercan'ile, the Koyal Canadian and the Commercial Inion Kire 
 Insurance companies, all reliable and time-proven, and whose interests here 
 Mr, Cunningham has initerially advanceil, licing an accomplished, ready 
 and welt informed insurance agent. Personally Mr. Cunningham is an esteemed citizen, 
 ar.d lb a gentleman with whom friendship is sincere and sacred. He is courteous in his 
 manner, kindly in all his relations, and his education and abilities demand the term 
 "intellectual," he Ix-ing conversant with most of the standard literature by ancient and 
 modern authors. He has the honour of founding the Athen.ium Literary Institute, has 
 been for many years school trustee, and from 1871 to 1886 has been alderman, first for 
 St. tieorge's Ward t 1871-72), ard then Victoria Ward (i88l 86), having in all had had 
 14 years of public life. His whole history is a pleasant proof that industry and ability 
 coupled with the highest integrity, will win their way, and tha* honesty in representation 
 il always the best policy.

 as iHnrders, where every conifoit ol a home is provuled, as well as the iiiHuence for g'»o<l

 outside of her own, holding a list of unremuneratetl offices, which can only partially be 
 mentioned, and which, with the foregoing, will show the range and extent of her ret^uire- 
 nienls, her iintiagging energ), and her won<lerful mental L-ndowmenls. She is one of the 
 two t'-inadian riieml»ers of the llxemtive for the International- Association of (Miristian 
 W'orkers, and is superintendent of the dominion W-CT C.,of the prison depart meni, where 
 shr itoes much evangelistic work. it.'sides this. Mis* Wright is an accomplished author, 
 and has in the course of publication a h(Hjk entitled " laith's Test," wliich marks her as a 
 young wiun.m having gicat literary possibilities Iwfore her. She possesses a strong minil, 
 arid thinks deeply on all subjects, always reaching the " inner facts of things, and, as a 
 s[»eaker, i* calm, ckar .md forcible, always commanding conlidence and rcs|H:ct. She has 
 many ideas on refirm of the police court, which aie yet in embryo, believing that ojK?n 
 sessions should I* abolished, and that police matrons should attend drunken women and 
 ■ »ihcr (einale prisoners. Miss Wright has also, through her writings, done murh to help on 
 the prison reform movement : l>cbeving in ihe abstdute sei»arati(»n of all cla&ses, and that 
 industrial schotits sliouM t»e established in various centres, with a numl>er ot counties 
 grou|>ed, with a view to rescuing a large i lass of youths on the borderland of crime, and 
 that there should be special places for the incanerniion of young men from 14 to jj, where 
 thev could learn trades ami l« looked after as i.. iheir rrumil status and where those guilty 
 I't tir'st oiicnces only should l>e sent. She Iwlieves also that all j^rsons who have evidently 
 entered on a criminal career should be incarcerated for life, and that U.ys and girls should 
 never lie s^ni to the C">mmon jail nt [xuice courts, but should come U-fore a commission or 
 s[»ecial magistrate. .At the Dominion Ctnvtiiiion "I the W, C. T. Inion, in St. |ohn,

 KoiiKKisoN Bros, UuokirDeri and .Stationers, 6') Kideau 
 street, Ottawa.— "The pen ii mightier than the sword," wrote 
 the late Hulwer Lytton, and it is undoubtedly to books that 
 we are indebted for ibe greater r*rt of our civilization. It 
 if to the art of print! .g that we owe our present liberty of 
 speech, thought atd action, flistory proves that before print- 
 ing had been invented, when th« onl. booki weie tho*^e 
 laboriously writ ten by hand, the condition of the massei was 
 at its lowest ebb A striking conirmst is shown by the con. 
 dition of aRairs to day. On every hand one can purchase 
 the highest class of literature at prices merely nominal, and 
 which place ihem within the reach of all: and the supply, in 
 these days of progress, d^es not exceed (he demand. Solr- 
 mon says, ** Of making many bcoks there is no end," and if thi^ 
 were true in his day, how much more so in ours, when almost 
 every hour brings forth some n;w oliering to the shrine of the 
 Muses and books that contain the result of all the wi-dom and 
 s*udyof paf-t ages. Canadians are a reading people, and in 
 Ottawa their demands are ably and satisfactoiitv supplied by 
 the firm of Robettscm H'os. Their place of business is at 
 (k) Rideau street, and although they have been es ablished only 
 two years, they have a large and growing trade, produced 
 entirely by their atientiin to the wishes of the public, and 
 energy in their bu^ines*. Their store in of considerable size, 
 being seventy by twenty five feet, and the increasing demands 
 of their customers necessitate their occupancy of two other 
 flats, where a large reserve stock is kept. This fact alone 
 will give confidence to those dealing with them, aa they are 
 able to supply everything in their own line, and all goods 
 are of the best quality. Tha stock consists of staple and 
 fancy stationery, bibles , hymn books, school books, text 
 books, stationery of all kinds and the current magazines and periodicals. The firm make 
 a specialty of fancy go.>d3, novelties anii sporting goods of which they have a great variety. 
 I'hey employ two courteous assistants to attend to the wishes of their numerous patrons. 
 Their trade is chiellv local. The partners are Messrs. \V. and j. Kubertson, both of 
 whom arc natives of the (/spital city and, therefore, well acquainted with its requirement'; 
 nd their straightforwardneis in dealing with the public ii well known. 
 
 TitK WiMi--.>K lloisK, S. Daniels, proprietor. —The Windsor House, one of our 
 toremost hotels, and in realty the most centrally locateil, is worthy of special notice 
 owing to Its popularity and enterprise. Ten years ago it was n >t more than half its 
 present si?.*, but owing to the indefatigable elforts of its proprietor, Mr. S. Daniels, it has 
 doubled Its pn>p<)rtions, and while running some hundred feet on <^>ueen street, takes in 
 the whole space fnmi <^>ueen street to Sparks street, thereby covering ground and rhow- 
 mg a progress almost unexcelled in Canida. The hotel contains over 100 elegantly fur- 
 nished rooms, ha=i a magnihcent drawing romi, two gents' parlours, is heated by steam 
 and hot water, and i) lighted by gis ani electricity thrjughout ; it is -:! solid brtck an 1 
 stone, four storey^ ^'g'b hts a commodious dining rooni for patrons, dinners, etc., and is 
 so constiuctetl as to give every convenience. For the patt twenty years this hotel has 
 been under the charge of the present proprietor, Mr, Samuel Daniels, and owing to 
 m»itern ideas ard modern ambition it has been convered into one of the best hotels in 
 the t-aptal for commircial travellers, whose acommodation for trunks, samples, etc., is 
 extensive, and for tourists and residential patrons. Without prejudice, it miy be said 
 that the Windsor House does an enormous commercial business, that is, it is pa.ron- 
 ized by a very large number of cummeicul travellers, senators, members of parliament 
 and famdies. Busses run to and from trains, and the electric railway, which passes the 
 door every ten mnutes, also runs from the Canada I'acihc and the Canada Atlantic rriil- 
 ways to the hotel, thus giving every convenience requisite or desirable. The olhce, 
 neat and elegant as it It in day time, spatkles with the brilliancy of the electric power at 
 night time. I'he tastily papered walls show olV their beauty to admirable advantage, 
 the kitchen is a mark of modern advancement, cleanliness and care, and the laundry de- 
 serves for itb ciactness a word of iec>gnition. Mr. S. Daniels has always been, and is 
 to day more particularly, noted for the good menu serve 1 daily, and his reputation as one 
 who can cater to patroni of a hotel stands without a superior, and guests are loud in 
 praise of him. In the proprietor of the Windsor House will be found at all times a gen 
 tleman courteous, attentive, and giving entire satisfaction.

 This -s a reatfturing nm«-n of the city's metropolitan character, and it is htiini; that the 
 legal profeaiion should come within tlie acope >i this j[>ejul work on the Capita'. Am ing 
 the risinu and able young lawyers. Mr. 11. Chateliin, who has .)uite recently opened an 
 ( i)ice at I he corner of 'Sussex and Kuleau treeti, is defer vin){ of special nu'ice in this wurk, 
 and he is one who is. in every sense of the term, an ar paiition tn th." professi ji. This 
 ercrgetic and perievering UaTister wa« hor 1 at t'urran, tn the( ounty o| I'rescott, where 
 he received his early educatiijn. lie fcfterwards pumued ht» studies at Kigaud ami As 
 tnmpliun cudeges and Ottawa I niversUy, taking a heavy classical courite. In collei^e he 
 w«i a student of the mo*, satisfactory kind, - ilillnent and faithful at all times, aril always 
 look the lirst stand amon^ hit class-mates, evincing * comixnation of the most exalted 
 powers, a union of tne rarest faculties. We find in that rising » ar of the Ontarin Utt the 
 moat varied and dissimilar i^ifls, a strong and masculine understanding, a prompt and 
 retentive memory, with a lively and fertile fancy, an eye for the beauties of nature with a 
 knowletlge ol the realities of life, a brain st'ueil with the hire I wi:id im of th-r ages, and a 
 heart swelling with emotion. The lad early showetl a taste for law and elc.pience. Kven 
 in childho<Ml he seemed to have an iMsttnctive perception of th? I>cnt of his talent*, and 
 f.om his earliest youth he wa\ unweanetl in the paint he I'Mik to >)ualify himself for debate 
 and to train his power* of s|>eech. An apt and sedMlous student of mental philosophy, 
 rhetoric, history and mathematics, our subject was wtin ierfidly Miccsssful in hi» pursuit id 
 knowledge After graduating in i8N5 he at once commenced reading law in the > Ihce of 
 Mr. John Itutleiheld, l.'Oiiginal, and heie continual ac'ively anl succeasfully for three 
 years, and here not only won the gof>,i will and respect of all who knew him, hut he dis- 
 played abilities and promise as a lawyer that are destined to make him an honoui and an 
 ornament to the Canadian bar. I Mt in 1 8S,S Mr. Chatelain r£movt*tl to > ntawa, and fo r 
 two years studied law in the otticei of Metsri. \'«lin ^ Code and I- . K, l.vctdotd respec- 
 tively. In May, iK<»i, he was calle<l to the tUr, and commenced practic for himself, at 
 ^'■u Sussex street, and though having to t;om(>ete with older ettsbliahel ant m >i'e ex 
 peitenced lawyers, he has, nevertheleis, met with a Hsttering degree of »ui;cc8s. Mr. 
 t'hatelain is a lawyer ot the highest personal honour ; he is a clever, convincing and 
 powerful t[>eaker, and, having full command of the puiest l-rencli as well a^ Kngliih, he 
 takes hi^h rank among "gentlemen of the long r>be, " either young or old. In the 
 Cai'ital he has ma<le many friends, and is ooisesaetl of a pleasing nature and at'ractive 
 (>crtor.ality; he ii a strong, diiect, practical thinker, and, as counsel or pleader, commands 
 respect and conhience. Mr, Chatelain was one of the l»esi foot ball players in the city, 
 having l»een a " forward" in the Iniversity of Ottawa loollwll t'lub, thit hei<l the cham- 
 pionship of Canada for six years ; in fact the proverbial " rush" of the forward " free kick" 
 and "ofT site" have l>eCQaie as famitiar to him as the nnmliers ami chapters of the 
 statutes in the Canadian Law Itooks. lie stitl remains an honouarv mem)>er of his old

 but a young man, does a leading buiines^ in his piofeision here. Ojr subject it one of 
 Canada's numerous h^iia who do her credit. He wa^ l)orn at St. I'lacide, County of I'wo 
 Mountains, !'■•,>, in the year iS'-j, but received his early education at Vankleek Hill, 
 Pieicolt County,-— hiB father having lemovetl therein 1S70. Our hero, while at school, 
 shewed marked diipokitions for drawing and mathematics. He went to Ottawa College 
 and afterwards to MciiiU Iniversity. Montreal, where he completed his course in civil 
 engineering, graduating in 1SS5 with the degree of H.A.'c. In iSS'> Mr. Routhier was 
 engaeed by the haminiun (ttvernmrnt on an important survey in the Kocky Mountains, 
 and during the following four years he worked to perfect hunself In architecture. Id l88g 
 he opened an office on hit own respnniiibility at 2i Metcalfe street, where he is now pre- 
 pared to do skilfully, promptly and carefully all phases uf ci^il engineering, valuating and 
 architectural designing, and, in short, anything that 'egitimately belongs to this branch of 
 business. Many handsome public buildings are the pr< duction of Mr. Kouthier, and thf 
 glittering minarets and tall spiret that pierce ths bright azure are fitting evidence of his 
 genius and aliility. Tlie newt'apuchin church and monastery on the Kichmond Koad, the 
 Catholic Lyceum, the repairs lately made to thf De la Salle Kho;>l, near the llisilica, and 
 a host of the hne*t private residences that ad jrn Ihis cilv, are from Mr. Routhier's design. 
 He is probably already the l>est known professional man in his line in Ottawa, Tersonally, 
 Mr. Routhier is a ynung nun, unassuming lut clever, genial and attentive t > all patrons, 
 and of marked and supeiior ability. His future prtspects are the ver/ brightest. lU is

 dMnct. namely, the manufacturinii of scj'iare timlier and manufucture of lumber 
 of all kindt. In the pruscculiun of thin important staple trade, thousands of 
 men and hories are constantly employed cutting and taking out square 
 timber and uw t gs during the winter ni>nihs t and rafting up and floating them to the 
 mtlU, and (^>iieb«'C, and I'nited Sta'ei market in Ruromer. In the lumbering operationi 
 of the Ottawa and its tribiitarir&, in the fi<i!uic timtwr branch alone, millioni of dollars 
 have tieen invested, apart from the tmairnK e>penditure incurred in the purchase of 
 limits, the production of saw-ltif!» and in the erection of the many vast mills within the 
 ciy limiti and in its immediate vicmitv, for the purpose ol manufarturiiiit lumber of all 
 dcscriptiiini. This somtrwhai extended intrnductiuii is only suitable for the busineu 
 sketch of one of the largest lumber Krms nn thin coni inent, Messrs. Huell, Orr, llurdman 6f

 The miUing ijuarter of the citv. as miffht be ex[>ected, has a little life of its own, a charac-

 is principally white ptne, ami many grades are manufactured, and wherever sales are 
 effected the Mi«:k i^ nu^ianteed to be j.mt at represented. The proprietors, in their 
 charactoriinic push and rnterpnse, h^ive provided their <twn electric dynamo for lighting

 to watch the siurks tly, and help ihein to tly |oi>. by striking at the iron imilei his father's 
 direction and h-r the latter'- ainiiseiuent. l.aier on, young Smith, yiown to Ite a noisy ttoy, 
 was sent to the C.imnion school, where the pn-gress he ma'le in mastering the intricate de- 
 tails of the three K's, whi' S promised great things for him in the educational line, was 
 shortened by his cutting louse from the school, the parental aiithority, and all vulgar trac- 
 tions. In fact lie ran away. J(k- was not so much to btanie lor this step, )>eihaps. It is 
 inipos.sii)le to ci.nibine the (pialities ol a plough horse and a trotter in ihe same animal ; anrl 
 Joe's uiiirle, Joseph Smith, of Chenan;:o C,,iinty, N.N ., made a wider ileparture years bc- 
 Inre by fiiundinj; Mormoni'-m. At O^denslmrg, N.\., the 14 year old runaw.iy scho<»l Itoy

 which cliarncteri/rd his future etioris, was working in tiiin then, lie '■et fiis (ace westward

 tire business litmg cariied on under the propiictnr's |»ersiiM.Tl supervision. Mr. Smith has 
 shown great mechanical genius from hi>- earliest youth, ami has p;iiencd many inventions, 
 vvhich are manntactured by him at theaUne premise'-, ahmg with contract or>' work, wrought 
 iron to,ingers. as well as machinery of the inosi intiicaie description, a specialty being 
 made i.f -nianHntal iron fencnig, in which line he ha.s built up a large trade and earned the

 Thri)ughout ihi- wide area tiie prodiic's of these works is largely distributed and much 
 sought after, lie i.s so advanced in his i<Ieas that he finds few men to follow or aid him, 
 and h.is thus, Ui a certain evtent, been kept m the liackground. A liitk anecdote character- 
 istic tj( the man is connected with the North West rebfllit.n, and illustrates a feature of his 
 appreciation t»f adveiiiiing, his acunuii in thit diicctioii leading him to folluw the direc

 out of wtirk. Finally he secured a situation with M'» r». McC II Hros., Oil Ma* u'ac 
 turers, of Toronto, as iravrilcr ; thi' was in 1R7W He pu-hed th-'ir business so well on 
 the road, that at the erd t( the nrst year he rec:t ved a very gotxl »alary. He C"ntiniied 
 with them lor two >ears and a half, doing a very ^•JCce■•'^ful lm-iine><. While with Mrssra.

 Samuel Kopers >^' Co., of the '>ueen City Oil Works, required 
 a travfUer for Kaslcn Ontario, and Mr. Moms *erurfd the 
 position. Wit!i liis wife and family he then wert to kingaton 
 to live, that city being centrally situated for the terntory 
 he had under his care ; he contin' ed to reside there lor t 
 term of abutil three yean, when l>eing t>rnnioied t > a t)etier 
 position in Mon'ital he moved there at the request of hii 
 employeiH in 1^85. Seeing an opet^int; for an ekcliiMve '>it 
 bunnets in <>i awa Mr. Morris decided to open <-n his own 
 account, havirg *av<d enough money to commerce LusmeaK 
 on a moderate scale When he broached the subject to hii 
 cmpli>>era (Messrs. S. Rogers iV»"o,l they di%cu5<4cd a part 
 nerihip arrangemerit, with the remit that "The Samuel 
 Rogers Od Co." was formed, composed of Messr*. Samuel 
 Kogeri, Joieph Ko^jers, Alliert S Rogers and W. 1» Morris; 
 this waa in the winter rif 188'.. Mr. Morn^ ihen put almost 
 all his ready cath into the new tusineafi, and having a \ery 
 lubstantial shaie in it. uert in wih the intention ot making 
 the concern pay. An entirely new lra<le had to lie built up, 
 warehouses lia<l to bt erected, tank cars built, underground 
 storage larka to be conslruclcd, etc. This was alt dune at 
 great expense, and to day (in the short space of four vear») 
 there is no house l>etter known than '*Tt'e Samuel Kogers 
 Oil Co." Mr. Moins ansumed the exclusive management 
 and direction of the huMnrs- frrn '.he start ; he worked hard, 
 pushed business in all di^ec ions, and made * >itawa known as 
 an important oil dmnbuting <:entie. He met wuh the <iii'lest 
 of opposiliim, his competitors frtquenlly statinji that Ihe busi- 
 neia wonbl not Un' three months, a<i Ottawa waa t-»' i^mall 
 lor an exclmii\r oil bubineis. Mr. Murris soon dcmonitrale^l 
 the fallacy of scch ^'alements. The trade ;■* increasing year 
 by year, and no mi le tittng tf^siimonial as to the pluck, 
 ability and energy ol Mr. Morns can l>e shown than the actual 
 condition o' the business which he haa built up here lie has 
 had powerful aid from his paitners Messrs S. Rogers >:-' Co., 
 I'orunio whoseoperations throughout the I >i>niniot) ate known 
 to all our readers. I mil recertlv Mr M'-rris wa« president 
 of the Bradley, Mortin .^ Keid Co, I imilPil, ofllamilton, 
 timber and lumber merchanit ; he organized that corporation 
 
 some two years ago, and owned halt the capital stock of the concern, Mr. Morria waa 
 induced recently to i>ait with all his sharei* in ihat company at a go<>vl hgure. He alto owned 
 a one third intt rest in the Hamilton i>il Co., Ilamit'on, but not long since stdd his share to 
 Ml. Samuel R>>t;er!i, uf romntn, who was also a partner in it. Having now consolidated his 
 inve-itmenls in ' Utawa he is giving the oil business lii« undivided .Attention. He is known 
 'o be a Urge propetty owner; h\t> investments in th.tt res^ieci cover some of the choicest 
 vacant and house pro|>erty m the city ; he ha« full conhdeiico in the future ot Ottawa, and he 
 puts every dollar he makes into city proiierty. He ii. sole o vner of the Capital Warehouse 
 to., which started business on May lit ol this year. A icture of the storage warehouse 
 it given beb>w. This concern does a general storage business, issues warehouse receipts 
 which are negotiable at any bank, and money can be borrowel on them. Thii venture 
 proved to be an unqualitied Miccess frcm the .ntari, the warehouse Iwing hlUtl to the roof 
 with houseliold ejects. In titling a up. compartments were built in which ^wiians can 
 I'Ul general e'U'Cts and lock them up, tetuining the key and thereby ensuring tlt^ii 80<hI» 
 from disturbance. This feature is a new or and i& fully appreciated bv his numeroua 
 patfi)n«. I'he building is situate<l iicht in the h^ar' of the city, on the canut basin, with 
 good wharfage acc'>mm 'dat'.oti. It is a solid brick building wi(h a hre proof roof. There 
 is no other c ncern of the kind fn the city, and de^uite that tact the stt'rage rates charged 
 are lower than any quo'ed Tor poorer accommodation elMwhere. Mr. Moiris is an 
 aggressive busitiest man, always on the look out for new trade, and when he takes a thing 
 in hand will see it through at any cost. t. unsiderinj. that h" has only b;en in (.'anada 
 about 14 >cars, his success it the more retniiksble ; very few under similar ciicun stances 
 h:\ve made such g>od use of th^n time. He visited Ireland Ust winter, Bpemiing Christ- 
 mas witli his paren'», whom lie found both hale and heariy. Out of a family of 1 1 brothers

 idea that there ate few couiitiies <in the fuce of the gb.be which present the 4ame oppor- 
 tunities as ( ana'a doe^. He is bmd in her praise, particularly so about her Capital, in

 at the making of the Throginorton coat, the wool for which 
 article of wearing apparel wa< khca'eil from the sheep, ilyed, 
 woven, cut and made up within twenty four hours. This was 
 before the discoTery of the power of ste«m. and there t» no doubt 
 the Achievement coi.Ul l»e easily ciiualled in these day*. .>ince

 'I'lires mathematical knowledge as weh as some of the genius 
 of the artist. Just as the appearance o! a good picture n 
 always enliai ced by a handsome frame, so i" mankind im 
 proved by well made clothinti In Ottawa an able reprrsen- 
 iative of the trade may be found in Mr j. K. McNeil, of 203 
 Sparks street, ills business was e^'abluhrd in 1S81; but 
 his energy an<l attention have ma<le it a gteat success, lie 
 occupies a very handsoaie hvr- storey bioltiing, each flit lieiog 
 SO<25 feet. On ihe first flai a laryeanfl well ^elerietl stock 
 of tweetls are displayed, and the fittings of ihc whole dc 
 partraent are all that can \tc de ired. Th* st<H;k on (he next 
 flat consists of all kinds of ruhlter c -ats and gentlemen's fur- 
 nishioga of every description. Mr. McNeil i'* a direct impor- 
 ter of Itfitish and foreign manufaciuren, and ins knowledge 
 of the Vwt inarkfts enables him to have on hand a constant 
 supply of the 'aiest novellie«. The third, fouith and J.fih flats 
 are ocwpied by the wwrkshnps, and a guarantee of the large 
 business done will b found in the fact that it \% necessary to 
 Weep fifty hands continually employed. Mr. McNeil, who'is a

 those days the best of stone fl tur was considered .1 I that cuuld l>e desired for the popularly 
 called " bread timber." However, improvfm-nt and invention are the order of the age, 
 and in ihe above year the new complete r'»llfi nysiem was idaced in the mill by the well

 Colonel John By. After the *attei, the 
 city wai originally named. Could he 
 return like a modern Rip Van Win- 
 kle, he would assuredly be divided be- 
 tween admiration for the vUlaga he 
 founr*'i, alio gratification that the 
 condltlona governing hta early end ar- 
 duoua works, have been so faithfully 
 and palnatakin{;ly r^prol1llced- Should 
 he confine himself to *ne scene* por* 
 I trayed ty the pageant, thf^re would be 
 many a moment when he would feel 
 himself perfectly at home. 
 
 FmatumB of Pageant 
 
 THB pageant wilt be dlvMed into 
 a PKloguf and ae\Asst epi. 
 rodea. There will ba featured the spir- 
 it of Cbaudlera, and the commg of 
 Champl^iD; the advent of Phttomen 
 Wright to a snow^mantled Unil ; lum- 
 bering a hundred yeers ago, the 
 building of the Rideau canal, atnig- 
 gUs of the Infant lettlement; the nam- 
 ing of the Capita], and rivals for the 
 aeat of government. The union of the 
 provlncea will be portrayed, and Can- 
 ada will atand forth, a glowing, a 
 compelling figure. 
 
 It was In ]SM that By-town dis- 
 appeared and Ottawa emerged, which 
 means that the evcnta of that distant 
 day are now hlatory. Few peraona 
 other than achool children and arehl- 
 vlats bother much with hlatory, and 
 a pagaaJit la one of the most palatable 
 ways tn which the study may ha ta-V- 
 an. Tharafore, ravlvlnf aeaftes from 
 the life and works of Colonel By ara 
 
 { ticlpating in numerous engagements 
 including the aiege of Badajos. 
 From Portugal, By went to Taver- 
 j sham and Waltham Abbey, taking 
 |charra of the Royal Gunpowder 
 I Works, and his creditable performance 
 I of duty won him the rank of Ueuten- 
 i ant -colonel. 
 
 Preliminary schemes to link the 
 8t. Lswrence with the great lakes had 
 been considered as long ago ae 1780. 
 but it was not until i*2fl thst. any- 
 thing definite was done In tnat year. 
 Lt -Col. By. of the Royal Engineers, 
 waa selected to design and carry out 
 the building of a, military oana' }ohi- 
 Ing the Ottawa. River with Kingston. 
 This tvork waa seriously regarded aa 
 a meaiure of national defense t 
 
 By's personality must have been 
 singularly pleasing. Both bis courage 
 and good humor are mentioned by 
 companions and by the eontempornry 
 writers of hir day, The following little 
 pen-picture, given us by an early hla- 
 torlan, Mr Lett, reveala the gallant 
 engtne.tr to us In a manner both 
 quaint and vivid : 
 
 "As o'er the past my vision runs, 
 Oaalng on By-town's elder sons, 
 Tha portly Colonel I behold. 
 Plainly as In the days of eld 
 Conjured before at th's hour. 
 By maiBory'a undytng power, 
 Seated upon his great black steed. 
 Of stately form and noble braad, 
 A man who knaw not bow to lllnoh. 
 
 wide lakfts when the Canadlana wera 
 gaping with t^ar at tha waves that 
 were rolling around them. Ha could 
 sleep sarenoly anywhere, and eat 
 anything— even to raw pork "

 Colonel John By. After the latter, the 
 city was originally named. Could he 
 return like a modern Rip Van Win- 
 kle, he would assuredly be divided be- 
 tween admiration for the village he 
 founded, and gratification that the 
 conditions governing his early and ar- 
 duous works, have been so faithfully 
 and painstakingly reproduced. Should 
 he confine himself to 'he scenes por- 
 trayed by the pageant, there would be 
 many a moment when he would feel 
 himself perfectly at home. 
 
 Faaturmg of Pageant 
 
 THE oaseant will be divided into 
 a prologue and sevn>.at epl< 
 nodes. There will be featured tha aplr- 
 It of Chaudlere, and the coming of 
 Champlrln; the advent of Pbllomen 
 Wright to a snow-mantled lanrl ; lum- 
 bering a hundred years ago; the 
 building of the RIdeau canal; stnig- 
 gl<s of the Infant settlement; the nam- 
 ing of the Capital, and rivals for the 
 seat of government. The union of the 
 provinces will be portrayed, and Can- 
 ada will stand forth, a glowing, a 
 compelling figure. 
 
 It was tn 18M that By-town dis- 
 appeared and OttAwa e.iierged, which 
 means that the events of that distant 
 day »ra now history. Few persons 
 other than school children and archi- 
 vists bother much with history, and 
 a pageant Is one of the most palatable 
 ways In which the study may be tak- 
 en. Therefore, reviving scenes from 
 the life and works of Colonel By are 
 
 I am without national value and Slgni- 
 
 I ftoanee. 
 
 ! He WHS bom In 1T81, the son of an 
 
 ticlpatlng In numerous engagements 
 Including the siege of Badajoa. 
 
 From Portugal, By went to 7avsr- 
 sham and Waltham Abbey. taking 
 char,7e of the Royal Gunpowder 
 Works, and his creditable performance 
 of duty won him the rank of lieuten- 
 ant-colonel. 
 
 Preliminary schemes to link the 
 St. Lawrence with the great lakes had 
 been considered aa long ago as 1790, 
 but It waa not until i^iO that any- 
 thing definite was done. In that year, 
 Lt.-Col. By, of tha Royal Engineers, 
 was selected to design and carry out 
 the building of a military eana'. jotu- 
 ing the Ottawa River with Kingston. 
 This ivork was seriously regarded as 
 a measure of national defense I 
 
 By's personality must have been 
 singularly pleasing. Both bis courage 
 and good humor are mentioned by 
 companions and by tha contemporary 
 writers of his day. The following little 
 pen-picture, given us by an early hls- 
 ', torlan, Mr. l,ett, reveals the gallant 
 engineer to us In a manner both 
 quaint and vivid: 
 
 "As o'er the past my vision runs, 
 Gaslng on By-town's elder sons, 
 The portly Colonel I behold. 
 Plainly as in tha days of eld. 
 Conjured before at th's hour. 
 By memory's undying power. 
 Seated upon his great black steed, 
 Of stately form and noble breed. 
 A man who knew not bow to flinch.

 gaping with Uar at tha waves that 
 were rolling around them. He could 
 sleep serenely anywhere, and eat 
 anything— even to raw pork."

 IT was MacTaggart who wrote an 
 entertaining account of his pros- 
 pecting trip, undertaken at the sug- 
 gestion of Phllemen Wright, who wtv« 
 eager to dis'pos* of Mtat of Mt. 
 Gatlneau-country real estate. Mac- 
 Taggart, being unfamiliar with the 
 proepfctlng bualueai. set out on his 
 fine big horse, reallting too lata that 
 nothing larger tnan a grasshopper 
 could hope to get through comfortably 
 that Impenetrable bush and terrify- 
 ing S'vamp. He did not buy land. At 
 the close of his narrative he observe.i: 
 "Never again will I go provpcctlng on 
 horseback." and I think It was he 
 recommended the Oatlneau country 
 for a penal settlement! 
 
 On one occasion By. HacTaggart 
 and party were lost In a cran- 
 berry swamp, and for two dayc and 
 nights were without food. Moreover, 
 they were soaked to the skin and suf- 
 fering from cold. What was still 
 worse— the brandy, hoarded for amer-

 Planning Rideau Canal 
 
 THE survey of the canal once com- 
 pleted reported upon and ap- 
 proved, actual woi-k began. Some of 
 the methods by which constructional 
 difficulties were ovtrcome are at 
 Iea«t surprising. ITor example— the 
 longest stretch of artificial canal work 
 ','fe between the first lock at the Ot- 
 tawa river and Hogg's Back, on tha 
 nideau. Of this section In tha sur- 
 veyor's report, we read: 
 
 "Though we should encounter ridi- 
 cule, an aqueduct of wood would be 
 much better . . . and an aqueduct 
 of wood, I propose. Instead of sup- 
 porting It on plies or arches as Is 
 the case commonly, I propose that the 
 heads of the cedar trees which grow 
 aa thickly In the swamp aa theji pof- 
 sibly can grow, and average fourteen 
 Inches and seventy feet high, he sawn 
 off to the proper level In the route of 
 the canal, so as to form props for tha 
 aides and bottom of the towing-path." 
 
 To-day a cement wall hems In the 
 canal, Rnd a iipaclous driveway par- 
 allel* It. 
 
 But the stumps nt these cedars may 
 still be seen, and are aa firm after 
 a lapae of a eentury as when the aap- 
 
 pVTS b«wc«l ttielr WBjr thr«ixfSO ^h«lr

 I have closed the works of the Rl- 
 deau Canal, and hope you and your 
 brother will not forget your promise 
 of being present at the opening of the 
 canal when I shall expect all my 
 friends to rally round me. 
 
 I have Just received the discharge 
 of the 7th and 15th companies, P.oya". 
 Sappers and Miners; they are entitled 
 to receive 100 acres, and Sir John 
 Colbome was kind ennugb to say he 
 would give It to them wherever they 
 rhcee, but I cannot find that any of 
 them have yet decided in what town- 
 ship they will apply to be placed, S 
 am afraid they will be like spoiled 
 children, difficult to please and give 
 more trouble than they are worth. 
 
 Believe me, my dear Robinson, 
 Yours faithfully,

 IT should not be difficult for the 
 epectato.'S gathered at the page- 
 ant, to cnnstjuct for themselves the 
 picture of Colonel By's triumphant 
 trip through the finished canal In j 
 1832. He was accotnpanled by his 
 family, by several officers of the sap- 1 
 pers and miners, and a select party. 
 Gallantly, the little flag-bedecked ' 
 Pumper ascendad the locks and , 
 steamed away to Kingston— no Incon- 
 siderable Journey In these days. , 
 But hl.^ triumph was short-lived. I 
 For, although the Rldeau canal was | 
 a stupendous achievement, applauded 
 by engineers, both past and present. Its ! 
 biillder was recalled to Engia id. ar- 1 
 ralgned before a government commit- ' 
 tee composed of man absolutely Ignor- 
 ant of the condition* and difficulties 
 burdening bis task, and cen.^ured be- 
 cause his expenditure exceeded his 
 estimates by a very 8in«ll marKin— 
 nnd this. In the face of written orders 
 from his military ch'ef to proceed with 
 tha necersary disbuvsemente ! 
 
 nrickviUa was huilt by Colontl '

 He never recovered from the disgrace ' 
 and died in 1833— "having been muclt| 
 plagued by ague and low-spirits" — asi 
 he wrote a friend. His family knewi 
 the pangs of privation, for he had eve? ' 
 declined to make uee of the many op^f 
 portunitles that aro.ie to aiipplement 
 his slender Income; moreover, be had' 
 drawn from hl.s private funds for the' 
 payment of what Justifiably should | 
 have been charged to the publlo 
 pi:rse. It Is Interesting to know that i 
 a pilot In By's day was considered k 
 man of wealth, but a colonel of tha ' 
 Royal Engineers could not live In the 
 same etyle on his salary. ' 
 
 Among other tributes designed t<l 
 honor hie memory Is the erection of 
 a fine statue, one contribution to- ' 
 wards which has been recelvud from a. '

 of Reaults— the kind with a capital 
 R— the count la about eviin. But the 
 real Increment derived from that 
 mndeat expenditure la forty years of 
 the finest and most spirited game 
 that la played, and an accumulative 
 effect of exercise and training that 
 still keeps me going at an age when 
 most of my contemporaries have made 
 the discouiaging discovery that the 
 patha of gloiy lead hut to the golf 
 course. 
 
 Cold of Knowl»dg0 
 
 MY one other Investment of per- 
 haps equal value was made for 
 me when my father presented me. a 
 delighted boy of ten, with a butterfly 
 net and thereafter tonk ms on some 
 of hia collecting excursions. That 
 paid rich dividends In Intimate ac- 
 quaintanceship with butdoor life, for 
 I learned something of trees and 
 flowera, ef birds and tha small ani- 
 mals, as well as of our prey. 
 
 Sctantlflcnlly, tha result was negli- 
 gible; there Is hardly a butterfly that 
 I can now call by name, because 
 there has been a new census and the 
 entomologists have changed the whole 
 rosier; but I can still Identify thera 
 ss old acquaintances, I know the 
 manner of their flight wh.it places 
 they hunt, what flowers they prefer, 
 and what kind of queer, fussy winter 
 garments they cast otf; so that cver>-j 
 country walk I take has a special 
 Interest and seat. 
 
 To revert to results again, It Is more 
 Interesting. If not as profitable, ta 
 owning the Brooklyn Bridge, where 
 butterflies are scarce, though I have ' 
 seen them there. 
 
 Few ptople know what a tax Is. 
 Few have any occasion to unless they 
 meet with It In a cross-vord puzilo. 
 This I1 the brief history of a t>oy who 
 bought a rax. Ha was nine years old 
 and of nn Imaslnallve turn of mind 
 when, cu'ting across lots on his way 
 back from the swImmlng-hole, lie saw 
 a man picking at a rock. 
 
 The man jsald hello, and the boy 
 said hello, adding that that was a 
 funny aort of hnmmer The man 
 agreed that It was a funny aort of 
 hammer; It had a funny surt > f name, 
 too. Roofers, he said, called It a zax. 
 
 "Are you a roofer? ' asked the hoy 
 
 The man said no: he waa a aort 
 of atone-lnvcstlgator. The boy en- 
 quired : 
 
 "Are you looking for gold?" 
 
 The man s.'.ld that you might call 
 It that. 
 
 "There Isn't any gold around hare," 
 said the boy, for this happened In 
 Northern Pennsylvania. 
 
 "Yea, there la." 
 
 "Where V" 
 
 "In almost any of that* rocks." 
 
 "I/St me se»," 
 
 "It lan't the kind that you can 
 see." 
 
 "What kind Is It?"

 knowledge," said tha man. Ha 
 cracked open a atone and exhibited a 
 rlbby-looklng protuberance on an 
 Inner surface. "Ten million years 
 ago," ha aald, "that thing crawled." 
 
 "Gosh I" aald tha boy, and next day 
 he bought himself a lax. Aft .- that, 
 though be waa being educatea to be 
 a banker, he read and studied all 
 that ha could lay hands on about 
 geology and minerals. Even after he 
 had gone Into banking and then Into 
 the Importing business, ha never quite 
 gava up his Intereat; It rested btm, 
 he found, to go to lectures occasion- 
 ally and have scientists tell him 
 things he didn't know. 
 
 Then, just as be was close to mak- 
 ing a fortune, his health broke and 
 the doctors sentenced him to five 
 years, maybe ten, perhaps more, in 
 a dry climate, If he wanted to live. 
 Aa he very much wanted to live, he 
 broke up his household, packed up 
 hla belongings, and, up In tha attic, 
 eama upon hla sax. It brightened up 
 the rather gloomy prospect for him. 
 Thanks to that early Investment, he 
 had an Interest In life to fall back on. 
 
 Li/t'Saving Occupation 
 
 BUSINESS was forbidden; the doc- 
 tors were stern on that point; but 
 If ha wanted to wander around the 
 country with a misshapen tack 
 hammer, that was all right. It would 
 do him good Tha man fell to won- 
 dering what kind of stones they had 
 la Arizona. He bought what books 
 he could find on tha subject and read 
 avidly. 
 
 A year later he picked an Inter- 
 eettng and quite beautiful stone out 
 of a cliff side with his zax. It was 
 blue and had the gem-like glow char- 
 acteristic of slllcite of copper. I 
 should like to be able to aay that the 
 zax-wlelder became one of the great 
 copper magnates of the west, but the 
 truth falls abort of that. He did sell 
 his Interest for a comfortable sum, 
 quite enough to give him a safe In- 
 come ; and he earns more when he 
 w.tnts it, as an occasional expert. 
 
 But the gist of his story Is that the 
 early Investments not only gava blra 
 a living later, but that It made Ufa 
 worth while In Interest and occupa- 
 tion. Without It ho would probably 
 have died long ago, aa so many con- 
 sumptives die, less of the disease It- 
 self than of the hopeless detachment 
 from life which It involves. 
 
 In finance we hear much Insistence 
 upon diversifying Investments. It 
 seems to me that the same applies to 
 Investments In Ifc. One hobby Is 
 better than none; but five tnteresta 
 
 A ytar lattr Ac pickaj up an Intrretting and baautlful stoiM. 
 
 ara better than ona hobby. Ws 
 Americans tend to concentrate on our 
 play aa we do In our work; and con- 
 centration In amusement may be aa 
 bad aa concentration on work Is good, 
 because the only relief and recupera- 
 tion from concentration Is unconcen- 
 tratlng. 
 
 One of the most unremitting 
 workers Uiat I know — he la also one 
 of tha most successful — once told me 
 that he could get equal pleasure and 
 Intereat out of at least a dozen kinds 
 of mental and physical activity, and 
 these ranged from dancing to figuring 
 out tha movements of the stock 
 markets, as another man might solve 
 pusxles, though he has never bought 
 or sold one share on margin. 
 
 It's never too late to Invest. A 
 hlgbly-dlstlngulshed western painter 
 took up the bow-and-arrow when he 
 was sixty, and I heard him say last 
 year that he never got more thrill 
 out of any experience than putting 
 an arrow clean through a swooping 
 
 hawk. To be aura, he had trampei' 
 probably a hundred miles before ha 
 did It, and Is likely to tramp a th<iu« 
 sand before ha repeata so luclgr 
 a shot, but that was just so muob 
 added to the profits of the Investment, 
 as It reduced his over-abundant 
 figure. 
 
 Again, a politician acquaintance tt 
 mine discovered the camera when he 
 waa well past middle age, and though 
 he has for years been an enthuslastKi 
 hunter, there Is no trophy In his coW 
 lection that he values a.^ he does • 
 snap-shot of a mother-quail carryUif 
 the brood across a swampy spot. 
 
 All experience Is an Investment In 
 living. It broadens the vision. It 
 sharpens tha mind. It pivi's under* 
 standing, appreciation and tolerane* 
 at beef; and, at worst. It Is worth tb* 
 effort for the effort's jske. You majr'; 
 win.

 will be crowded with rntirtalnment. 
 There will be nmuaement to suit 
 every tatte, from the atampfde and 
 rodeo to etlrring music from one of 
 the world's finest bands. The pro- 
 gram Includes choral tinging, too, aad 
 the leader of the Temple Choir has 
 promised upwards of eleven hundred 
 voices. The military note will be 
 sounded In an elaborate tattoo. Ne- 
 gotiations are now In progress which 
 when completed are expected to re- 
 sult In the participation of such regl-

 of Hamilton, and the Queen's O^Ti of

 world have been urged to attend the 
 centenary; and to Washington and 
 President Coolldge, federal and civic 
 Invitations have been formally extend-

 But perhaps the most arresting Item 
 of the program will be an historical

 ing of the Capital, and rivals for the 
 seat of government. The union of the 
 provlncea will be portrayed, and Can- 
 ada will stand forth, a flowing, a 
 compelling figure. 
 
 It was in 18M that By-town dis- 
 appeared and Ottawa emerged, which 
 means that the events of that distant 
 day are now history. Few persons 
 o'ther than school children and archi- 
 vists bother much with history, and 
 a pageant ts one of tha most palatable 
 ways In which the study may b« tak- 
 en. Therefore, reviving scenes from 
 the life and works of Colonel By are 
 not without national value and signi- 
 ficance. 
 
 He was bom In 1T81, the son of an 
 official in the household of King 
 George III. and received military 
 training at Woolwich, and in 1803 was 
 I sent to Canada. Here, he not only as- 
 sisted In the restoration and recon- 
 struction of fortifications at Quebec, 
 but built his first and much less fam- 
 ous canal — at the Cascades, above 
 Montreal, At the end of nine years' 
 residence, the Peninsular War claim- 
 ed him and he went to Portugal, par- 
 
 of duty won him thri'ank of lieuten- 
 ant-colonel. 
 
 Preliminary schemes to link the 
 8t. I.^wrence with the great lakes h <d 
 been considered as long ago as 1790, 
 but it was not until 1^28 that any- 
 thing definite was dona. In that year, 
 .Lt.-Col. By, of the Royal Engineers, 
 was selected to design and cany out 
 the building of a mlUlery oana: join- 
 ing the Ottawa River with Kingston. 
 This work waa seriously regarded as 
 a measure of national defense! 
 
 By'.i personality muat have been 
 singularly pleasing. Both his courage 
 and good humor ars mentioned by 
 companions and by the contemiwra ry 
 writers of his day. The following little 
 pon-picture, given us by an early his- 
 torian, Mr. Lett, reveals the gallant 
 engineer to us In a manner both 
 quaint and TlvM: 
 
 "As o'er the past my vision runs, 
 Casing on By-town's elder sons, 
 The portly Colonel I behold. 
 Plainly es In 0\t days of old 
 Conjured before at this hour. 
 By memory's undying power. 
 Seated upon his great black steed. 
 Of stately form and noble breed, 
 A man who knew not how to flinch, 
 
 Courteous alike to low and high, 
 A gentleman was Colonel By. 
 And did I write of lines three-score. 
 About him I could say no more." 
 
 Again we find in the diary of his 
 sur\-eyor, John MacTaggsrt; "In 
 some of my curious wanderings, I 
 wss accompanied by Colonel By, a 
 gentleman I shall ever value and 
 esteem. He encountered all privations 
 with a wrnderful patience and good- 
 humor; would run rapids that hia 
 Indians trembled to look at, and cross 
 
 were rolling arriun>l them. He could , 
 sleep serenely anywhere, and Mt 
 anything— even to raw pork." 
 
 Col, By'a Adumtturtt 
 
 IT was MaoTaggart who wrote en ! 
 entertaining account of his proa-r 
 pecting trip, undertaken at the sug- 
 gestion of Phllemen Wright, who *;»<i 
 eager to dispose nf s^aae of niit { 
 Gatlneiiu-country real estate. Mac- 1 
 Taggart, being unfamiliar with the 
 prospecting business set out on his 
 fine big horse, reallting too late that 
 nothing larger than a grasshopper 
 could hope to get through comfortably 
 thst Impenetrable bush and terrify- 
 ing swamp. He did not buy land. At 
 'he doss of his narrative he observes : 
 "Never again will I go prospecting on 
 horseback," and I think it was ha 
 recommended the Gatlneau country 
 for a penal settlement ! 
 
 On one occasion By. HacTaggart 
 and party were lost tn a cran- 
 berry swamp, and for two days and 
 nights were without food. Moreover, 
 they were soaked to the skin and suf- 
 fering from cold. What was still 
 worse— the brandy, hoarded for emer- [ 
 gency, was reduceil to the last drop. I 
 Eventufllly tbe partv cam* upnn wn I

 drop brought them safely out . . , 
 Quoting MacTaggnrt, "I spent many 
 dismal nights, and only relate this 
 on the score, that Colon':! By was with 
 me and conducted himself as became 
 a man." 
 
 I Another picture cf him shows him aa 
 'a courasaous officer. A certain liquor 
 store was proving too attractive io 
 his suppers and miners (of whom hi 
 had heen granted only two com- 
 panies). Work was not progressing as 
 it should, so the Colonel mounted his

 Dear Mr. Wyiin ; I have read a 
 great deal lately about bigamy and 
 bigamists. Am I not right when I say 
 "If a man has one wife too many he 
 is a bigamist?" Tours truly. 
 
 DEL.LA WARE 
 
 Answer: Tou are not right. I know 
 a man who has only one wife, and 
 only the other day he told me that 
 although he Is married to only one 
 woman he has one wife too many, 
 yet, you can see, he has not commit- 
 ted bigamy.

 go down again, and a lltle later It 
 I rises again. What do you think is the 
 matter with me? Sincerely.

 I left you, he said that he absolutely 
 j left you without any angry words. Is

 Dear Mr. Wynn: I am In a peculiar 
 predicament, and hope you can .lelp 
 me. I have a tlO.OO bill which Is a 
 counterfeit. One day I'll think it is 
 all right and feel on the verge of pass- 
 ing It and then on another day I'll 
 think it isn't any good and make up 
 my mind to tear it up This has bepn 
 going on for weeks and it worries me. 
 i What shall I do? Yours truly. 
 
 I. M. A. FRADB 
 
 Answer: The only thing for you to 
 do is to wait until the day for think- 
 
 tng the bill is all right to come around 
 aiid pass It. 
 
 Dear Mr. Wynn : I have a notion 
 store and busmcas has been vrry 
 bad. I have a lot of stockings I would 
 like to sell as they have been In my 
 store for over three years. T want to 
 have a s.ils end sell these Etocklngs 
 for 10c a pair. Would you be kind 
 enough to compose a good sign for 
 me to put in my window? Yours 
 tally. ODZEN ENDS 
 
 Answer: As the stockings have been 
 
 on the shelves, in boxes, for nearly 
 
 ! four years I think the following 
 
 I would be the right kind of a sign:

 Hlanmng Rideau Canal 
 
 THE survey of the canal once com- 
 pleted repotted upon and ap- 
 proved, actual woi'k began. Some of 
 the methods by which constructional 
 difficulties were overcome are at 
 least surprising. For example— the 
 longest stretch of artificial canal work 
 ;ie» between the first Ifjck at the Ot- 
 tawa river and Hogg's Back, on the 
 Rideau. Of this section In the sur- 
 veyor's report, we read: 
 
 "Though we should ericounter ridi- 
 cule, an aqueduct of wood would he 
 much better . . . and an aqueduct 
 of wc'od, I propose. Instead of sup- 
 porting It on piles or arches ss la 
 the case commonlj. I propose that the 
 heads of the cedar trees which grow 
 as thickly In the swamp as the^ pos- 
 sibly can grow, and average fourteen 
 Inches and seventy feet high, be sawn 
 off to the proper level In the route of 
 the canal, so as to form props for the 
 sides and bottom of the towing-path." 
 
 To-day a cement wall hems In the 
 canal, i.nd a spacious driveway par- 
 allels It. 
 
 But the stumps of these cedars may 
 still be seen, and are as firm after 
 a lapse of a century as when the aap- 
 
 pei 3 ftcwi:tl tncli- woy through Ui«lr 
 
 tough trunks. 
 
 An Interesting side-light en the times 
 and a proof that parllsments will be 
 parliaments. Is contained In The Do- 
 minion Illustrated. 1891: 
 
 "Throughout the whole progress of 
 the work. Colonel By showed a won- 
 derful degree of energy and personal 
 leal, which ss usual met with but lit- 
 tle thanks from those who by their 
 exalted position.'! as members of pat- 
 lliinient met at their leisure to cri- 
 tlclM and p.iss judgment upon the 
 [arduous duties performed by military 
 and naval officers abroad." 
 
 And a letter written by the colonel 
 shortly before the opening of the 
 canal suggests that he was not un- 
 aware of the meagre appreciation ac- 
 corded him. It read :

 IT should not bn dirflcult for the

 picture of Colonel By's triumphant 
 trip throunrh the finished canal In

 pers and miners, and a select party, 
 riallaiitly, the little flag-bedecked 
 Pumper ascended the locks and 
 steamed away to Klngsion—no Incon- 
 siderable Journey In these days. 
 
 But his triumph was short-lived. 
 For, although the Rideau canal was 
 a stupendous achievement, applauded 
 by engineers, both past and present. Its 
 builder was recalled to Engla id. ar-

 L«st winter 1 heard, at a private 
 house, a mlddlr-agcd musician who 
 Memed to be a great violinist. Nobody 
 
 "N—n— nothing, sir." answered the 
 ainrmed Louis, which was true at the 
 moment, as his petrified and miser- 
 able stare was fixed upon the Instruc- 
 tor. 
 
 "What Is that book that }ou are 
 concealing?" 
 
 "It's a— a book, sir." 
 
 •What kind of a book?" 
 
 "A magic book, sir." 
 
 Roars of laughter from the class. 
 "Ah, a maglo book. That expluins 
 Its Invisibility. Well, now suppose, 
 Smlthling, you rise and read ua a pac- 
 sai^e from the magic book." 
 
 "What passage?" asked the wrctch- 
 
 congratiilata him with the words: 
 
 I king of spades rise, phant< tu-like, out 
 
 ha4 Introduced him ; he Juet stood up ^ ed boy. 
 
 bsslda his accompanlut and played, i "The passage you were absorbed In

 be Ihs smallest-" | 
 
 "I don't know who you are," said | 
 he, "hut 'hat was the most agonizing 
 eiperii-nce of my life." 
 
 In the talk that followed he re- 
 called hie loneliness and his shabbl- 
 ress of high school days: he never 
 could travel around with "the crowd" 
 because he spent every cent of his 
 meager allowance on "magic Instruc- 
 tors. 
 
 Itinerating prestldltrl'ator, and travel- 
 ed with him as his "supe ' for six 
 months before he resumed his educa- 
 tion. As he told of this there came 
 Into his eyes the authentic glance of 
 romance. 
 "Was 11 worth while? ' I asked. 
 "Wasn't It, though!" He smiled. "It 
 even had practical results. You know 
 
 which should I of an empty goblet, befoa tha syes

 After tha applause was over I en- 1 
 Kulred from a familiar of the house '

 not one famous In musical annals, i

 "But how does he coma to play llkt

 "Accident," eaid my acquaintance 
 >-d told me the story. 
 
 Young M— was bom In New York" 
 elty on tha edge of a slum, and, on 
 hH way to the public school, d.tlly 
 pas8a4 a pawnshop, which specialized 
 In 'musical instruments. The boy set 
 his heart on a particular fiddle, and, 
 realizing tha hopelessness of getting 
 money from home, took a casual Job 
 in odd hours, until he had earned the 
 price. 
 
 Unknown Violin CeniuB 
 
 WHEN he went to the shop the 
 Instrument was gone, but the 
 kindly and sympathciio pawnbrikei 
 •old him a poorer one for more 
 money. His first great disillusion- 
 ment came when he discovered that 
 be cou' 1 not play It. 
 
 BeInK of a frugal and determined 
 Ds'air* and having twelve dollars tied 
 up In a iirofitless venture, ha earned 
 some more money and took lessons 
 from a teacher who had little ability, 
 but a keen sense of appreciation. 
 When the boy was fifteen ttie Instruc- 
 tor said to him: 
 
 "You win be a great violinist." 
 
 "I don't want to be a great violin- 
 ist." 
 
 "What do you want to be?" 
 
 "A millionaire." 
 
 And he is. Several timos over. He 
 IS also a great violinist, ranked as 
 perhaps the finest amateur In Amer- 
 ica. The man •who told me the storj' 
 • scribed It all to "•accident." Invest- 
 ment would, I think, be a Juster t'>rm. 
 All through his arduous years of Ret- 
 ting an education, of earning a living, 
 of climbing to his goal, h« Invested 
 a certain amount of hla time, his 
 •ePM of beauty, hla axtraordinarj 
 energy. In the rigid routlno of prac- 
 tice. In going from goo<l teachers to 
 better teachers and finally to the very 
 best of all. 
 
 To make the story complete, he 
 should have tenderly preserved his 
 original fiddle and occasionally take 
 tt out and ]^lt.y po It Insteaa o( th»

 Rosa crossed the room to sit down 
 on the divan beside Carol. He 
 slipped hla arm around her. 
 
 "I never meant to bother you with 
 any of this stuff, sweetheart. I 
 don't know what got me started. 
 Anyhow, new let's forset it. I won't 
 be glum any more now that I've once

 Roen was silent for a moment or

 arm around Carol tightened. 
 
 "Carol, my dear." he said solemnly.

 "Life Is always going to Ifiok right

 Carol'i Propotal 
 
 here wai the answer to (arols 
 Id shrewd jest : "Helpless wo- 
 men make the best husbands." Here. 
 In her own husband's creed, was the 
 very formula for the best husband, 
 ei|ual parts the lover and the good 
 provider. So. as a clinging vine she 
 had not been a falUir". after all; 
 Surely not, when that was all Ross 
 asked of life, to keep her safe and 
 happy. 
 
 .Strange that in this very moment, 
 this fragrant, silken, trlumphnnt mo- 
 ment, something alien to It all ahou'.d 
 stir In Carol, something that went 
 far hack of her eight months of 
 pampered wifehood, bark even of the 
 eight year- of sturdy struggle, tiack 
 of Carol herself; the heritage of a 
 long line of woir.-n who had spent 
 their llve.i making not good husbands, 
 but good wives. It wan this sudden 
 btlrring, of course that rondo the 
 pretty deli In yellow i>a in echo

 "Safe and happy-I could be safe, 
 though, without a house In Clover- 
 dale. And happy without georget

 Ross smiled, tenderly Indulgent— did 
 not even answer. 
 
 Carol's free forefinger drew a 
 thoughtful triangle on the thick veiour 
 of the divan. 
 
 "If the bualnes,-) will carry Itself, 
 all we'd have to do would be to man- 
 age to live, ourselves. " 
 
 "That's all,' Rosa agreed, tenderly 
 mocUing. "Just the little trifle of 
 f.nding a way to 1 ve (or a year or

 'It wouldn't be on notiimg. We'd

 "They're not your kind of -women, 
 though, .swocthearl ' 
 
 "My Uiriil of women !" Carol rose 
 suddenly from the softly cushioned 
 divan. ".My kind of xvonien I" she 
 folioed. "What kin I i.f v.oiiien do you 
 think I come from? Helpless, usoleaa 
 women like Marjoi'le IJe Witt.' Women 
 who will let their hu.sbands sink ambi- 
 tion, pridn, the future, everything else 
 In Just tiikinp care of thirn? Women 
 who don't play their share of 'he 
 game. My kind of women -I come 
 from better stock ! My mother was 
 horn over the grocery storu that her 
 mother was running while her husband 
 worked tiia wiiy through medical 
 school And my grundn, other nevtr 
 knew oxactlv wh,-^re ahe was born- 
 just that lier mothur waa with her 
 hufband in a covered wngon some- 
 where along the Oi'egon tinil. That's 
 the kind at women 1 con'.i- from— who 
 (lid whatever they liod to ind stuck by 
 ttielr men I'm not saying I can live 
 up to thorn, hut Ros.^. there's no use 
 pr.'tend:ng— that's tho only kind of 
 woman I truly want to bo." 
 
 For several mornent.s tho fire crackl- 
 ed loud in lenso silence. Then Ross 
 rose too, put his hands on hl« wife's 
 shoulder-1, and looked searchingly 
 down into ber face. Into her brave 
 eyes. 
 
 "You mean that?" 
 
 Curol's gar.e met his squarely, strong 
 vllh the tested strength ol eluht bur- 
 aeii-beurln>i' yrisrs. 
 
 "YiB." fih^ said simply 
 
 A moment more of searching silence. 
 Then ; 
 
 "All rljtht," be said. "We'll take the 
 chance together. ' 
 
 He bent and kissed his wife In 
 solemn c.impaet. Then he crossed to 
 the fireplace and threw another los on 
 the flro. that the warm room might be 
 warmer still for her. And Carol, slipp- 
 ing back airaln Into the ahadon-s. 
 watched hini through the same aharp 
 te:irh of tenderness that always blurr- 
 ed her eyes aa he tiptoed pasi her bed 
 on stormy nights, to close the win- 
 dows.

 opper insgnaie.i of tho we t. but tho 
 truth falla short of that. Ha did aell 
 hia Interest (or a comfortable lum. 
 quite enough to give him • safe In- 
 come; and ha earna mors when he 
 wants it, as an occasional txpert. 
 
 Hut tha glat of his atory ta that tha 
 early Inveatm^nti not only gave hlra 
 a living later, but that It mad* Ufa 
 worth wblla In Interest and occupa- 
 tion. 'Without it he woufd probably 
 havH died long ago, aa ao many con- 
 sumptives die, less o( the disease it- 
 self than of tha hopeless detachment 
 from Ufa which it involvei. 
 
 In finance we hear much Insistence 
 upon diversifying Investments. It 
 seems to me that the same appllea to 
 lnv.tstmenta In I'fe. One bobby is 
 better than none; but five Interesta

 On* of tha most unrpmittlng 
 worker* that I know— ha u alao one 
 of tha moat succaaaful— one* told me 
 that he oould get equal pleajura and 
 Interest out of at least a dozen kinds 
 of mental and physical activity, and 
 these ranged from dancing to figuring 
 out the movements of tha stock 
 marketa. ai another man might solve 
 puazlca, though ha has never bought 
 or sold one share on margin. 
 
 It's never too lata to Inveat. A 
 talgbly-diatlngulahed western painter 
 took up the bow-and-arrow whan he 
 was sixty, and I heard him say last 
 year that ha never got more thrill 
 out of any experience than putting 
 an arrow clean through a awooping 
 
 a* it reduced bis ovei ju ..ii lOt

 Again, a politician acqualntanrn 01 
 mine discovered tha camera whan k* 
 waa well paat middle age. and though 
 he has for years been an enthuslasllo 
 hunter, there la no trophy la hla col- 
 lection that he values as he doea * 
 snap-shut of a mother-quail carryUiy 
 tha brood across a awampy apot 
 
 All expe.rlencn is an Investment te 
 living. It broadens tha vision. *t% 
 sharpens tho mind. It gives und«r» 
 standing, appreciation and tolerase* 
 at best; and, at worst, it la worth tlM 
 effort for the effort's sake- ITou may

 Everywhere you go these 
 days you will find men and 
 women drinking "Canada 
 Dry" with their meals. It is an 
 especially sensible selection on 
 hot days when you want some- 
 thing cooling and refreshing. 
 
 Try a sparkling, bubbling 
 glass of "Canada Dry" some 
 day soon, either at home or 
 "downtown." You will really 
 be surprised to find how it lifts 
 you up and how much better 
 you feel all afternoon. 
 
 You're buying real quality 
 when you buy "Canada Dry" 
 
 — a beverage you can depend 
 on absolutely. This fine old 
 ginger ale is served in lead'* 
 ing hospitals and actually pre- 
 scribed by physicians. 
 
 Once upon a time it was sold only 
 in Canada, but it is now sold 
 throughout the United States, in 
 London and Paris 
 and even in such 
 far-away points as 
 Cairo, the Philip- 
 pines and the Vir- 
 gin Ts'ands. To the 
 whole world it is 
 advertising the ex- 
 cellence of Cana- 
 dian products.
