T'lIE St. Lawivncc River is tlu' voltiint' of tlio ' ovcrtiow of Lakes Superior. MicliiKiiu, Huron, Erie and Ontario, toj^ctlier witli tliat of all their hays and tributary rivers. Its course is ill a Rcneral northeastern direction. From the point of its (h'boiivhcrf from Lake Ontario to the crossing of the forty-fifth iiarallel at Cornwall, it forms the bou;idary line between New York Sttite and the Province of Ontario, Canada, a distance of eighty-tivc miles. For a fm-ther distance t)f a trifle more than four hundred miles it leads through the Canadian Montreal, Three Rivers and or nearly all of that juntion vast sound, vtirying in width Provinces of Quebec. The final two hundred niiles, below the City of Quebec, is practically » from six or eight to thirty miles. The St. Lawrence River presents some featin-es which are unique. Being the outflow of the great inland seas, its water is always perfectly pure. It is never subject to floods. Its attractions as a resort for angling and fishing with the spoon are now efhciently protected by law, while the extent of Lake Ontario, and the efl'orts of the St. Lawrence Anglers' Association, give assurance that the supply of gstme fish will not be appreciablv diminislied in coming years. The prevailing winds during the summer season sweej) down upon the Islands purified l)y their passage over the resinous Canadian forests and over the wide expanse of the lake, reaching the nostrils of the hapi)y islanders dry and bracing and cool. It has been noted by observant visitors that among the islands in the midsummer season there is no dew at night, although upon the mainland, a mile or so back from the river, it is at times (luite heavy. It is the fashion to make indiscriminate claims as to the health-giving (luaUties of resorts generally, without reference to actutd facts. People occasionally die at the Thousand Islands, but the great majority of those who come here weak and jaded go home rejoicing in full strength and with light hearts. It is destined to become the great Sanitarium of the Atlantic half of the continent. Among the islands of the St. Lawrence, and especially the portion IN DAYS OONE BY. above Welleslev Island, the great wifljh of the river, averaging some nine miles, reduces "the current to a pace hardly noticeable. It is sufficient, however, to prevent the dew from forming upon the contiguous land. The Thousand Island region is practically an estuary of Lake Ontario, projected from its eastern extreme, and thickly strewn with rocky islets of all shaiH-s and sizes. The actual number of the islands, when considered as fragments of soil or rock projected above the surface of the water, is dependent largely upon the slight effect of a dry or wtt season, a fall of a foot in the depth of the river adding very materially to the count. In the Treaty of Ghent the islands are officially statetl as numbering 1 ,6!)3. Between and among these thread innumerable ch&nnels, here ponrmg a swift and crystal tide through some pent-up chasm, and there forming in deep, stilly pools much loved by the wary black bass, 'neath the shadow of some castellated crag. , . . «■ _j i These ever-varying features, and the constant change of vista affordea the voyager, overflowing at every turn with unexpected instances of those combinations of water, land and sky which we recognize as beautiful, these make up the charm and glory of the upper St. Lawrence River.

FROM CLAYTON TO ALEXANDRIA BAY. Tliere are several jwints through which travel reaches the islands, re- ference to each of which is due. Clayton, New York, is the northern ter- minus of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg Railroad (Utica Division), now a portion of the great New York Central & Hudson River Railroad system, which is most convenient to the cottages and liotels. and it ranks first in importance. Through trains arrive morning and evening at tliis place from New York and Niagara Falls, made up of vestibuled parlor and sleeping cars, and through cars also usually come here from Saratoga, Boston, Chicago and other great centers of travel. Clayton is an attractive village, prosperous as the trading center of a thrifty farming country, and having several manufacturing industries. Clayton skiffs (elsewhere mentioned in detail) are famous all over the land. A number of long established hotels here enjoy a reliable summer patronage. The piincipal houses are the Hubbard, Walton and New Windsor. Well- stocked general stores contain a good selection of cottages and camping supplies. On tlie St. Lawrence, an excellent newspaper, (published daily ill the summer), at Clayton, gives all the River news. During the heated months, when thousands come hither from the cities, Clayton wears a festive air; the oarsmen are all busy, and the wharves are lined with steamers, beautiful private yachts, and the sloops of gay camping paities. The principal hotels and park communities are all down river from Clayton, and the majority of travelers arriving by train proceed at once upon board of the steamboat, which soon carries her expectant passengers away to their destinations among the islands.

The shores of the island are embellished with scores of tasteful, and in some instances costly, cottages. The elegant Hotel Frontenac, one of the most popular of the resorts upon the river, occupies a commanding site in the center of the island. The Frontenac is completely furnished in modern style, and supplied with an elevator. Every room in the house commands a view of the river; a first-class orchestra discourses music for dancing ; artesian water is used upon the table ; billiards and tenpins are provided for. Mr. E. D. Dickinson is the manager. All portions of the island are ojien to guests and visitors. No excursion parties are landed here. Round Island has numerous walks and drives, with shady outlooks, along its either shore. Some of the best fishing grounds are in the immedi- ate neighborhood. All steamers call here.

THE COLUMBIAN HOTEL. 1,000 ISLAND PARK AND THE COLUMBIAN HOTEL. From Round Island the steamer traverses a broad reach of the river and touches at the Pullman House, a small but attractive hotel located upon Grenell Park, and half a mile beyond reaches the wharf at Thousand Island Park, the largest summer colony among the islands, and is under the control of the Methodists. This i^ always a populous place in summer. The cottages are ranged along an avenue facing the river or upon inland streets among the shade trees. The Columbian Hotel at this point presents one of the handsomest fronts along the river, with its towers and inviting porches. Under its present management, the firm of Inglehart & Hadcock, which has made a great success of two other hotels yet to be mentioned, the Columbian Hotel has attained a high degree of popularity. The Park association owns a large tabernacle, and provides, each summer, a varied and attractive series of educational and religious entertainments. From this point to Alexandria Bay, u distance of about seven miles, the stream is contracted upon the American side of the river to a width aver- aging about a quarter of a mile. Groups of small cottages line the rocky banks of Wellesley Island upon the left, and at some points upon the main- land. Central Park is the midway point of this channel. The Central Park Hotel, managed by Mr. H. F. Inglehart, is located here, and ranged beyond it are numbers of private cottages. The hotel is a modem structure with a decided air of comfort. Its wide porches command a view of a grassy shaded expanse along the stream and a sweep of the picturesque channel which it faces. Its rooms are large and airy. The fare is as good as the best. A telegraph office and U. S. post-office are maintained. Point Vivian is a little community, but a most lively one, housed in cozy cottages perched among the trees and rocks.

Scores of boatmen are in waiting along the wharves or around in the bay, and steam yachts iiro very plentiful, most of these being held for charter by the day or week. The name of the Thousand Island House is synonymous with a memory in the breasts of un army of tourists who have in past years sojourned beneath its roof. It may bo salely asserted that at no time in its career has it been as popular or as well maintained as at present, under tlie guidance of the genial hotel veteran, Mr. J. B. Wislar. As a matter of course, this establishment is equipped with all the belongings of a first class summer hotel, and \i well patronized early and late. Steamers come and go between Alexandria Bay and other river points constantly, including King, ston, Canada, Cape Vincent, Clayton, Gauauoque, all the parks, BrockviUe, Canada, and Ogdensburg.

Kvcry morning, and again every afternoon, just following the lunch hour, the, staunch and swilt "Xew Island Wanderer," starts upon her romantic fifty-mile tour among the Islands. (See time table.)

The following trips may be especially recommended, all of wliich may be made from either of the great tourist hotels about equally well. To •' Halliday's," on the Kingston route, to the Old Fort Carleton Island, on the Cape Vincent route, to Gananoque via Eel Bay, to Fiddler's Elbow and the Lost Channel, upon the Daily Island excursion route To the '• Lake of the Isles," via Westminster Park, to "The Rift," a narrow and romantic stream connecting the Canadian Channel with the Lake of the Isles. It forms the national boundary line and one may toss an apple from the United States into Canadp across the rivulet. This season yachts drawing 2i or 3 feet of water can pass through with care. A quaint feature of the Rift is the little church upon the Canadian side, tlie work of an earnest but somewhat odd clerical genius, who presides over the spiritual affairs of the few island families who live in the vicinity. AT ORIOLE POINT IN THE RIFT, s Canada aud tlie Unltwl Slates. Ogdensburg is within the range of a day's steam yachting, and a pleas- ant trip may be made along the main shore of the American side below Alexandria Bay to Cedar Island aud Chippewa Bay. Shoals are numerous hereabout, and a good pUot is needed. 36 ! among the islands IS may be especially >f the great tourist ort Carleton Island, to Fiddler's Elbow jiite :, to "The Rift," a 1 Channel with the md one may toss an ulet. n pass through with n the Canadian side, 3, who presides over n the vicinity. achting, and a pleas- American side below Shoals are numerous A trim, tnie cedar boat, the liauilsoinoat afloat, With contcr-board and bhU. and nickeled locks on rail. That's the craft. An Island-studded stream, fair as an artist's dream. O'er reedy beds to drag, on rocky shoals to Ian. That's the place. A flutoil silver spoon, as Instrons as fnll moon, Which bears the name of Skinner, or else a lively minnow. That's the bait. A sudden, savage bite, fi-om fish as dark as night. See there ! He's fighting yet, tho' in the landing-net. That's that bass. The oarsman's skill Is praised. His hand to heaven is raised. It holds a small, black bottle^ ^A^gur^le in his throttle. ^ g„H^c„^^. •riie oarsman is also your cook, and you'll like bis cooking. A. reference to the raap will indicate a large number or good dining places, but, as a matter of fact there are thousands of cozy nooks in the myriad channels where boats may be landed and a dinner flro safely started. No excursionist, fishing upon his own account should build a fire. In so doing he assumes a heavy and sometimes costly responsibility. , . , « %, At your hotel a lunch of substantial character will bo supplied free of charge. It should be ordered tho previous evening. The boatman should get this, and also the minnows for bait, the latter being extra. Lake shiner& or brook minnows, which are plump, largo and black on the backs, should be taken if possible, but are often unobtainable. As a general thing the boatmen are honest and reliable, but it is well to be on guard against the '« minnow sharp," Poor bait wastes the angler s time and disturbs his pleasure. AN ISLAND DINNER. The writer feels it to bo a matter ol duty to beg that the stranger who may read this while at the Islands, will not depart until he or she has known the joys of au Island dinner. This is the one thing that will bring tho visitor back in other years. The charms of tranquil scenery may be forgotten, but the memory of the appetite that day, and that dinner of freshly caught flsh. broiled under the i \ shade of the trees and serveu his pilgrimage' in search of the Holy Grafl, could not have looked uinm days more "rare " than these. One's spiritual barometer rises with a glorious rush as one drinks in with a deep breatli this pure, sweet air, full of heavenly, health-giving qualities as revivifying to city folk as draughts of sunshine wine. Forgotten is white-shrouded winter with his gray pall of clouds and his biting breath, Next winter seems a long way off, and we turn our thoughts from it as from an unpleasant premonition. Winter never is more cheer- less than when thought of under the spell of those midsummer days. But what need to think of blizzards when summer, glad, bounteous summer is here -a balm to the weary, a rest to the heavy laden? We iK)or comers, jxwr with the iwverty of energies expended in the toils or the pleasures of our winter lives, have reason each year to count these Thousand Isles among our greatest mercies. The deep restfulness of the kaleidoscopic life which we can enter into or not, as the spirit moves, the enchanting natural beauties all about, of which one wearies not, are delightful factors likely to prolong life and sweeten it with a foretaste of heaven, Tlie joyful return of old Islanders to their summer nests wth fresh ideas of summer life, the coming of new ones to new homes with enthusi- astic voice and eye for everything and everybody, go to make much of the charm of this paradise of places— or, rather, this place of paradises. Nature and art have worked most amiably and happily togeth *• here, and a sail or row from isle to isle must be convincing proof that such a combination of forces is the happiest and most comfortable. No doubt there was a charm in the primitive quiet of this dream realm, with its pellucid watere and its birch bark canoe, Indian-laden, but there is far more of beauty, grace and life in these ix)etic summer homes, or in the steam yacht with its merry excursionists. The Ht. Lawrence was never so grand and fair as hom'— happy now. The wondrous summer beauties of the isles are not all. Can we leave unmentioned, the attractiveness of their smnmer guests, young and old? How many are the strong friendships made here which it has been a joy to maintain! How many pleasant memories have been stored away to serve as brighteners to winter hours of discontent ! Gay escapades and cami>flre scenes have retained an after glow of life and fun sufficient to bring a smile whenever thought of. Quiet talks, the influences of which go far beyond the hour and help one over hard places in less sunny days : lazy floatings with a much-loved friend, or a chance harmonious acquaintance who knows when to talk and when to be silent — these, and more,— much more, make up the enchanting summer life among our peerless Thousand Isles. 40 * ' > :R. ids, 1 of the Holy Grail, lese.

Not the least interesting of thedaily processes of out.loor "atureamong the islands is the .piestion of wind. Indeed, there does not seem anv room for question, at least dur- ing July and August ; lor the midday breeze from the West is about as regular an institution as dinner, varied, to to hure, at rare int«rvals with a "norther," which comes down iiiwn us from Labrador as cool and often fis fierce, in its way, as the prototype wliich lashes the lonely waters of the Gulf of Mexico into a fury and drives the thin-bloofled sons of the Aztecs fur- ther into their zerapes. The St. Lawrence breeze is an important asset in the sum of advantages c n t ■ the region has to offer. It sweeps down across the broad bosom of Ontario and effectually stimulates the indolent and perhaps tired occupants of the piazzasinto a desire for action. It forms aconspiracy with he sun to tan the wan cheek of the city girl and the hands of the p.scatonally inclmed clerk.

Jefferson County is situated in the northern part of the State, and is bounded as follows : Northeast by St. Lawrence County, nortliwe.st by St. liiiwrence River, west by Lake Ontario, south by Oswego County and east by Lewis County. The mipertlcial area of the county is 7!)3,5H."> acres, or eleven hundred and forty-si.x scpiare miles. Tlie .s|>ecial features of the county are Lake Ontario and tlie St. Ijiw- rence River. The main indentations of the lake are the Black River (for- merly called Hungry) Bay, Chaumont, Henderson and IJriflin's Bays. Black River Bay is liK-ated in the town of Sacket's Harl)or, and is not surpass«>d by any on the upper lakes for cai>aeity, depth of watei- and siifety. It is completely landlocked and surrounded by a lM)ld escarpment of Trenton limestone, varying from the water's edge to thirty feet in height. Hender- son, Chaumont. GritHns, and a small inlet called Three Mile Bay, are arms of Black River H.i\ ; all included cover an area of aliout si-xtyscjuare miles. The princi])al islands attached to the county are Wells, (irindstone and Carlton islands, in the St. Lawrence, and Grenadier, Cialloo and Stony islands in Lake Ontario. Besides these there are many smaller ones, including a iiumlwr at the mouth of the Black River and in Chaumont bays, and a jwrtion of the archipelago known as the " Tliousand Islands," in the River St. Liiwrence. Among the most prominent headlands and ca])e8 are Stony Point Sixtown Point, Pillar Point, Point Peninsula and Tibbett's Point. There are at least twenty small lakes in the county, of which ten are in the towns of Theresa and Alexandria, 48 K 1! four in KUishurK'. tw,. in Antwerp, two in H.'n.h-rH..n. nn.l on., ep.ch in ()rU.«nH nn.l I'anu.lia.

ORIGIN OF LOCAL NAMES. Upon old maiw of N.)rthern New Y..rk the name of Cas^.orland ai,; -ars. It was-a city upon paper, l.icated eiwht miles north of Lt.wville ai>on the Utica and Black River Railroad, where trains stop for meals, and, uuleed, still figures as a station upon the time-table of that line. In or about the vear 1793, a French traveler, named James D I. ay de Chaumont. came to the St. Lawrence. He was d.iubtle8S oi.c- ot ^he samt- family of Protestant Chauraonts of which a memlier was sa ed from the Kallcys. through the humane influence of Voltaire, whither he had been condemned f.ir relinion's sake. . , , , x,. This traveler was concerned in the promotion of an ideal colon} , tde prospi-ctus issued in Paris which set forth in the most glowing terms the splendid future of the region, under the influence of which immy French i)eople like their countrymen who pinned their faith to George Laws greater Louisiana bubble, either emigrated to this promised land or freely bought its bonds. The fever for emigration, too, was undoubtedly stimu- lated by the disordered political conditions surrounding the throne of Louis XrV , and which in that year resulted in his execution. Chaumont, who verified his own faith in the region by coming hither with his family, has done much to impress his individuality upon the river in the names he bestowed upon leading iwinta, and which are still p. '^ • .ed. Alexandria Bay was named by him after a .I.i .iiter. and here, it is recorded, that J. D. Le Ray (the Chaumont having been dropped under republican influences) built the first tavern in 1818. Cape Vincent was named in honor of -kln« f'-''^'*;;;'';; ., » " .u- t»». lake I'roUfted from its base is a ponmsula whi< h S;:ai;t; U: i^ ' ^t llWeU-e letter •• T." thus fonning two cbarn.ing K^ Upon^ pn.j.Htion are built s.-veral pretty cottages, an.l the smu- Z club-houses of n,erry ctcries fron.

In leaving the Thousand Islands for Montreal upon the steamer as she comes along in the morning, the wise tourist, should he have breakfasted ZZl com"ng upon board, will select a comfortable outlook fore or aft and Shering"!^crrie (if bl'essed with friends upon his travels), w»ll adjust himself and them for a long and quiet all day s ride. 45 I ■^ Scattering islamls, many of them quite as wild as when the white man first voyaRed here, are passed all the way down to Brockville, where the Thousand Island system terminates in a group called the " Three Sisters." Brockville is a substantial Canadian city of 7,0()0 people. It is one hundred and twenty-six miles from Montreal by the river. The reader will ._, — ,_ note the large number of fine pri>-ate proper- ties along the rugged river front, both above and below the town. Immediately opposite is the American town of Morristown, which is upon the line of the R. W. & O. R. R. Fourteen miles be- yond, the Canadian town of Prescott and the American city of Og- densburg stand vis-a-vis upon the banks of the river. Prescott has a population of about 3,000, and bears the solid air for which all Canadian towns are famous. A railway con- nects the St. Lawrence at this point with Otta- wa, the Canadian capi- tal. Travelers to whom the voyage down the rapids is familiar, will find the rail trip to Ottawa and steamer voyage down the wild and beautiful Ottawa a very diverting experience. Ogdensburg, the largest and most affluent place in northern New York, merits more than a passing notice. It is the focal point of three lines of railroads, and a depot for a vast transhipment of grain and lumber from the West. Five miles below Ogdensburg is Chimney Island, where vestiges of French fortifications still exist, and immediately below are the first of the series of rapids, the Gallopes, and shortly thereafter the Rapide de Plat is met. Neither rf these swift places are especially exciting, but they serve as a preliminary to the great Long Sault (pronounced long sou), which is next in order. A long reach of smooth water intervenes, Jiowever, during which wo pass the small American town of Waddington and the attractive Canadian city of Morrisburg. Just below this place is tlie battlefield of Chrisler's Farm, where an engagement occurred in 1813, between British ONK OF THE MONTKEAL BOATS. 46 1 I ti the white man rockville, where led the " Three teople.

Over upon the American side is Massena Landing, whence a stage con- necting with a steam ferry runs to the fine old medicinal resort known as Massena Springs, which, aside from its picturesque and healtliful location, the excellent Hatfield House, and good fishing, boasts remarkably strong and iK)tent sulphur waters. Below this point the steamer, well fitted for her daily task of breasting the wild surges of the rapids, turns in the swift curn iit, and a mile ahead the passengers see the white, stormy waters of the Long ttuult stretching from shore to shore. Now the real fun begins. Tliere is a sudden hush to the monotone of the steamer's pulsations. We are in the grasp of the current. Extra men are at the wheel, and others are aft in charge of a spare tiller. If you are inclined to be nervous now, remember that steamers have been going down here ever since 1840, and no passenger vessel has ever been wrecked in the rapids. The first plunge is over a cascade at " the cellar," and is exhilarating. We are no sooner into the vast expanse of broken waters than fresh sensa- tions await us. liook at the shore ! Heavens, how we slide along. Now across our way a vast green billow, like the oncoming surge of the ocean upon soundings after a nor'easter, disputes our passage. It is of the beauti- ful green where the sunlight shows through its wedge-Uke cap that one sees upon the coral beds of Nassau, or at the deep center of the Horseshoe Fall at Niagara, or in drug store jars. It does not rise and fall, advance and recede. It simply stands there forever, a vast wall of water through which we cleave our way with a fierce brief struggle, only to meet a. second, a third, a fourth like wave beyond. Guide books have falsely told a generation that the Long Sault is nine miles in length. It is supposable that the first guide-book writer was told tliis by a reckless deckhand, and recording it, it has been taken as gospel by every subsequent cribbing guide- IxKjk writer who has touched upon the subject. The veritable rapids are scai-ce a mile and a half in length, but there is a continuance of reasonably swift water for several miles further. The actual fight between the steamer and the angry billows is over in less than three minutes. The imjiortant town of Cornwall, where several large factories are situated, is shortly seen upon the Canadian shore. From this point to Dickinson's Landing, eleven miles above, a canal is built, to enable vessels to return up the river. Similar canals are built around each of the rapids, and are excellent examples of thoroughly good engineering. After leaving Cornwall we bid good-by to American soil, for here the- " compromise line," forming the national boundary just north of the forty- fifth parallel, intersects the river. It is interesting to note, in this connection, that this line exists through a faulty original survey. During the administration of Tyler in '48, & lioundary commission, consisting of Daniel Webster and Lord Ashburton, it was found that a true line on the parallel wovld throw several Americaa 47 towns, including Ro'^se^ Point, into Canada, and it was wisely arranged to leave the line as o- iKin.illy found. Four miles below Cornwall the Indian village of St. Regis is noted upon the right shore. The lioundary Une is said to bisect the place. The inhabitants, like all of the aboriginal remnants in the French Canadian country, are all devout Catholics, and the gootl cure is the highest authority they know. As the g(X)d steamer emerges upon the broad Lake St. Francis, dmner is announced, and the reader may safely forego his outlook for a time, as the transit of the lake will occupy an hour and a half at least, as it is twenty- five miles long. Over upon the left shore of the lake stands the village of Lancaster, and when the river tires of its breathing siiell, while loitering in the guise of a lake, and resolves to be a river once more, it dashes off impetuously just after leaving the village of Cot«au du Lac, which you have just seen peep- ing above the trees, and carries us headlong down the " Coteau Rapids," which are about two miles long, then the " Cedars," three miles, and the " Cascades," of which the SpUt Rock Rapid is the most formidable and dangerous looking. At the Coteau we pass under the great international bridge recently completed. There is enough, indeed within the score of miles covering this part of the day's experience to afford excitement and interest for a vear of ordinary travel. The village at the foot of the Cascades is Beauharnois, and now a second lake is met. as if the river dreaded the final plunge down the famous Lachine. Lake St. Peter is about twelve miles acrosstothevillageofLachine, which, in turn, is about nine miles from Montreal. ^^^ ^^^ ^^^ LACHINE!

"There's Mount Royal," says a passenger, as we sit upon the fonvard We see in the blue distance its bold outline traced against the mellow northern sky, the profile of the promontory, and from its base, a thin, wide cloud of smoke drifting away from the city. Smoke escaping from a thousand cliimneys, the funnels of e;reat steamships, and all the fuel-con- suming devices of a great industrial center. Mount Royal is hardly less imiming than the rugged promontory of Quebec, which we are to visit later. Tlip village of Lachine. now robbed of much of its commerciol unport- ance (for it was, before the canal was built, the distributing and loading- point for all the vast marine traffic of the interior), is now sunply a pictur- €sque suburb of the city. Its origin is as old as that of the city itself. The hardy discoverers, zealous Jesuits, and ambitious leaders who sought to perfect a cordon of outlasts that should check both Spanish and Anglo- Saxon progress westward, managed to earn, through their intrigues with the Hurons, Algonquins and Ottawas, and by bad faith with the Iroquois, 48 11 I I wisely arranged egis is noted upon t the place.

Onward forges our speedy craft, and ere long the troubled waters of Lachine are seen far ahead, a snowy breastwork across our path. The lake is again a river. We are abreast the village of Lachine where the canal from Montreal debouches into the St. Lawrence. The muddy Ottawa pours its tide into the pure blue waters in which we have voyaged since morning, as the Missouri pollutes the Mississippi. At the Iroquois village of Caugh- nawaga, a hamlet of the remnants of the aboriginal inhabitants, the pilot comes aboard. Here is another new bridge spanning the river built by the great Canadian Pacific Line. The tourists, warned by every writer upon the topi'" of the rapids, throng to the starboard as the steamer's paddles cease to revolve, and watch with interest the energetic rowing of a couple of Indian boatmen in a bateau. A heavily-built, swarthy man paddles at the stem. He is the essence of good nature. We are drifting steadily down toward the rapid. The heavy man clambe.s up the guards, the tell signals " go ahead," and the Indian pilot takes supreme command at the wheel, assisted by an apprentice Indian, on whom his mantle will fall some day. The white steersmen light their pipes and enjoy their respite from duty. Are the Indians really a necessity':' Quieii ndhe. It is the custom of the river, and the passengers ri'iuembsr the incident when every other feature of the trip is hazy and 49 DOWN THE LACHINE covered with the dust of forgotfulness that gathers over the events of by- gone years. A little while later and we are in the vortex. The current grows swifter and swifter. All the bosom of the river is covered with reefs and rocks. All the mighty outpouring of the stream is iient up in a single cliannel. The boat heads this way and that, then the bottom of the river seems to fall out Down we plunge ! and onward, straight toward a rocky islet! Which side? Just as destruction seems hnminent, the vessel sweeps round to the right and shoots like an arrow between two sunken ledges. We are through and may look back up the watery hill we have descended, and admire the courage of the men who first navigated this wonderful channel. In the slack water just upon the edge of the racing current which still bears us on are Indians tishing i>lacidly from dug-out or birch canoes. The once marvelous Victoria Bridge comes into view. In a few moments we steam beneath it and swing around the dangerous shoals that bar the terminus of dee]) water navigation, and heading up stream are sj)eedily at the lock, within which, as the steamer rises to the upper level the passengers are delivered over to the tender mercies of the coachies and '• "bus" men. But be not afraid, for there is a uniform i-ate of twenty-five cents for coach fare here, and you will not be swindled. You are no longer in the ivee and glorious domain of Uncle Sam. nONTREAL. Montreal is the brightest, busiest, and mo.st metroi)olitan of Canadian cities. It has a population of 140,000. Below the Lachine Rapid, the river becomes navigable for the largest sea-going vessels, and the wharves of the city are lined with great steamships. Montreal dates its beginning about 1535. In 1750 the EngUsh gained Montreal from the French. Many of the streets in the lower or older portion of the city have an intensely French appearance. Upon the elevated hills more remote from the river, the fine homes of the wealthy class are found. In walking or riding about the city, the stranger cannot fail in being struck with the solidity and massive effect of many public and corporate buildings. They seem to stand as an evidence of the endurance of the British character wherever found. Places of general interest are not wanting in Montreal, Upon Great St. James Street, the Post Office and Bank of British North America attract attention. Upon Notre Dame Street stands tlie Court House, and near by is the old Government House. The Nelson Monvunent, time stamed but dignified, stands at the head of Jacques Cartier Square. The favorite prom, nade is the Champs de Mars. MiUtary music may be often enjoyed here during summer evenings. Bonsecours Market is one of the finest structures in the city. The Cathedral of Notre Dame is said to be the largest church edifice ir America The view from its tower is well worth the fatigue of the ascent. Montreal College. Jesuits' College. McGill College, the English Cathedral, are all well worth the stranger's attention.
