 trod, the soil for whioh they fiercely contended, the spot where first 
 they ptottted the symbol nf their religion, or the dust whioh they

 Quelle© when he has cast a hurried glance at the Plains of Abraham 
 and the Monument to Wolfe, and driven rapidly over streets rendert)d 
 hist<irIo by the blood of heroes and martyrs, the red man's daring 
 deeds and the carefully preserved traditions of the hlstorton and the 
 novelist. Often In laying out the plan for a summer trip extending 
 over several 4&y» and perhaps weeks of time, wiU he begrudge a

 places, or the din and confusion of the torge centres of Amertoan 
 olviltoatlon, with their attendant bustle and heat and ten-story 
 hoteto. 
 
 A cursory glance from Dufferln Terrace, of the magnificent view 
 which spreads Itself around and bekiw, sometimes satisfies him that 
 he has thoroughly famlltorfeed himself with scenery such as Is 
 seldom equalled and never excriled, which forms the subject of many

 Nor are Quebec's sarroondlngs of less Interest than the attrae- 
 tl*»u8 of the city Itself. European travellers have traced the greatest 
 reseraWftnce between the country, the houses and the members of 
 the ProDch Canadian peasantry and those of the old French provin- 
 ces of Normaady and Pioardy. New lines of railway and c<doniaa- 
 tion roads bave opened up communication with chains of largf 
 lakes, wooderfid In their plcturesjque scenery, and not less remaris- 
 ablo in the marvellous swarms and superiority of the finny tribes 
 which Inhabit them. Whether the tourist at <^ebec be sportsman, 
 naturalist or geologist, a little observation will place temptations In 
 his way seductive enough to influence him to an In^flnite prolonga- 
 tion of his stay. Audubon and Waterton in years gone by spent 
 several weelis in and around Quebec, making a speehil study of the 
 Canadian Fauna, and admirable public collections of stuffed speci- 
 mens maybe seen at Laval University and in the museum of the 
 High School That weU known scientist, SirWUliam Dawson, of 
 Montreal, first President of theKoyal Society of Canada, devotes 
 special attention in some of his books, to the peculiar geologieal 
 formations and volcanic upheavels notifiable in the strata In the Im- 
 mediate vicinity of the city. Quebec's cfakims as a summer resort are 
 unsurpiMsed upon the continent of America. If these claims are

 Look on the vision awakened in the poetic mind ci the brilliant 
 author of '* Boughing it in the bush,"— Mrs. Moody (Suiaona Strick- 
 land):— 
 
 "Every perception of my mind became absorbed Into ttoone 
 sense of seeing, when, upon rounding Point lievis, we east an(4K>r be- 
 fore Qiioboo. What a scene ! Can the world produce another ? Edbi- 
 burgb had l>een the 66aM ideal to me of all that was beautiful In 
 nature, a vision of the Northern Highlands had haunted my dreams 
 acri>ss the Atlantic; but all these past recollections fade before the 
 present of Quebec. Nature has ransacked all her grandest demits 
 to form this astonishing panorama. My spirit fell prostrate before 
 the scene, and I melted Involuntarily into tears." 
 
 The late Henry Ward Bi^eoher recorded his impression of Quo* 
 boo thus:— "Queer old Quebec! of all the cities on the continent of 
 America, the quaintest. Here was a small bit of medheval Buropo 
 perched upon a n)ck nud dried for keeping, in this north-east corner 
 of America, a curiosity that has not its equal in its kind on this side 
 of the ocean. We rode about as if we were In a picture book, turning 
 over a new leaf at each street." 
 
 W. D. Howells, the American novelist, thus describes the emo- 
 tlons stirred in hira by the ocmtemplatlfm ci Quebec:— 
 
 "Mont(»lm layii^ down hie life to lose Quebec is not lew affect- 
 ii« than Wolfe dying to earn her. The heart opens tonrairds the 
 sole jr who recited on the eve of this costly vlstory, * the Elegy In a 
 Country Churchyai'd,'— whieh ho 'would rather have wrltt«i than 
 beat the French to-morrow,' but It aches for the defeated genend, 
 who, hurt to death, answered, when told Iktw brief bis time was: 
 'So much the better; then I shall not Uve to see tlM surrMider 4>f

 'Apart from the realities of this most pietures<|ue city, there are 
 asstKsiations clustering abuirt) It which would makeadesert rich In in* 
 torest. The dangerous precipice along whoso fmnt Wolfe and his 
 brave companions climbed to glory; the Plains of Abraham, where 
 ho rtjceived his mortal wound ; the fortress so chivalrously defended 
 by Montcalm, and his soldier's grave dug for him, when yet alive, by 
 the bursting of a shell, are not the least among them, or among the 
 gallant deeds of History.' Tlxe last few lines express the thoughts 
 of Charles Dickens. 
 
 Quebec has seen the years of two centuries and is growing to- 
 wards the close of the third. Through aU this period the quaint old 
 ^own has passed and wears the wrinkled brow. At one time it wi|s

 dorivftlioim ventured by etymoloKlBtft are m luifonlouB aHthey

 \mk ' ' of the oriff iual (MXiupante of the site, wirid to have {x^w theoxiiros- 
 eiou of welcome used by them on the appearance at Btadacma of <ra«- 
 nuee Cartierand his oxpe«lltlonary force, in view of their hoBitatiouto 
 nu^t them, and whioh the Frenchmen cmHldered ob equivalent to 
 their own D^bartjmaa ! Others, again, have traced the origin of the 
 name to the exulamaticwi " Quel bee ! " (what a (;ape), attributed to a 
 Norman Hailor at his first glance of the rtwky promontory. It is m>w 
 all but universally ooncedt)d that the name is of Indian origin. It is 
 flrst foufld In the writings of Champlaiu, who says:— "We came to 
 anchor at Quebte, which is a strait of the river of Canada; " and 
 Abb6 I'aiUon, commenting uptm this statement, adds: "This name, 
 which in the language of the Micmac Indians, signiflos 'stnUts' or 
 ♦narrowing' of a river (r^er<^e(M«6m<ml), and Champlaln's manner of 
 speatiing, in calling Quebec, not the town yet to be built, but the 
 locality penned up from the river, sliow how utterly unfounded are 
 the other interpretations imagined for the name of Quebec.' 
 
 Charlevoix in his " JourniU " addressed to the Oucbess of Xicsdi- 
 guldres, writes:— 
 
 " Above the Island (of Orleans) the river narrows all at once to 
 such an extent, that in front of Quebec it is not more than a mile 
 
wide. It is this which has gtvon to thb plaoe th« luinie of Qtiebelo 
 or Qit*^>e(!, which lu the Al^ronquiD lantfUftge ulgnRm 'iiftrrowiiig.' 
 Tho Aliooftquis, whotiie tongtmre is * dialeot of the AJgiMUiiitn, luime 
 it Quolibee, wliioh sitfiiifldti 'tbiU: which Is olufiued/ becnuse from the 
 month of the Ohaudiore, by wbteb river these IndiMw eome to Que* 
 b«o from the vieiuity of A(»Mlla, the Point of Levis yrhlmh lap» over 
 tholeloof OrleauH, onilrely hides the South Chaoiiel. The Isle of 
 Orisons hidos the North Channel, so that the port of Queheo appears 
 (from Ohaudiert?) to consdsf only of a large bay." Aceordinir to Bov. 
 i. M. B.?llenger, an old minsionary, to whom the HIcmao language 
 wa« perfiMjtly familiar, "Quebec " oouies from the word " K^b^u^/' 
 which he frequently heard applied by his Indhin guld(» to a '* nar* 
 rowing of the waters f.>rmed by two tongues m points of land pro* 
 truding into ihoin." Lesi'arbot ami the Abbe Mak> agvm with 
 Mesttrs. Charlevoix and Bellenger, andParkman (1) is of opinion that 
 the origin of the name can no longer be doubted. 
 
 Fatbi^r Arnaud, the famous missioDary to the Indians, stU' holdH 
 to the Montagnais origin of the name; and according to thin veteran 
 authority, the aboriginal greeting to the first French arrivals here 
 of'*Kepeii! Kepeic!"— "disembark! " or ** come ashore," was mis- 
 taken for the name of the promontory l>ehlnd the natives towards 
 which they pointed, and upon which the Upper Town of Quebec is 
 now built, or of the Indian settlement near by; and "Kepek"or 
 Quebec it has remained ever since, though its Indian name was 
 "uapistikoiats" or "white cape," the French equivalent of which, 
 Gap Blanc, Is still applied to a ptniilon of the oity lying In the shadow 
 of the gr^t rock crowned by the Citadel. Another Ibidian name for 
 the locality,— Btadacona. me«ns "a crossing upon floating wood."

 The aroblteotiire of the building Is that of an old ckai4'.mt of the 
 age of Frontenae himself, or more properly speaking, perhaps, that 
 of the oentury preceding it,~theage of the early days of Chaniphiin, 
 the builder of the Chateau St. liouis and ids oontemporaries. In form 
 the building is something like a horsesht>ts the spaeeinthe ooutro 
 being (HHtupiod by a large court yard, measuring 170 by im feet. The 
 main entrance is found lu this court, whicb is r«*acheft through a 
 lumdstmie arch t>f stone, supportiKl at the Hides by colonna<les <»f the 
 same material. The exterior of tho art^hway faces at, liOuis strtwt

 and the date 1647. This stone was diseoveretl in 17«i by the work- 
 men engaged in levelling the ^'ard In which Haidimand'H Chateau 
 ^•Bs in course of erection. Mr. J. Gdmoud Roy, who has admirably 
 summed up much that has been written on the subject, isttf the opiu> 
 ion that in olden times, the original Order of Knights of Malta in- 
 tended to establish a priory in Quebec, and that Governor Mont* 
 magny, himself a Knight of Malta, laid the foundations of a house 
 for the use of such priory in 1617, and had this st4>ne prepared to 
 Insert in the walls. (1.) It is let into the st4Hie above the gate.

 We oMinot oroBs the moat into the Citadel here, so we will again de- 
 aoend to the Terrace. On fine summer eveninfirs this promenade is 
 the resort of thousands of citiaens, always including a laige repre- 
 aentation of the youth and beauty of Quebeo. Two or three times a 
 week there is music on the Terrace, and on band nights it is throngs 
 ed with fashion and gayety. 
 
 fHEEE on your left is a pretty little shady retreat, of which the 
 principal attraction is the twin-faced monument to Wolfe and 
 Montcalm, erected in 1827 and 1828, in joint honor of the illus- 
 trious contending generals, who gained a common fame and mot a 
 oommon death. It was Lord Dalbousie. then Qoveruor-Goneral of 
 CAuada, who originated the sentimental and pretty idea of this 
 monument, erected by the descendants of those who had mot in 
 mortal combat nearly seventy years before. The corner-stone was 
 laid with masonic grand honors on the 15th November, 1827, by B. 
 W. Provinoial Qrand Master Gtoude D^ndchaud. a distinguished 
 French Canadian Freemason and Member of Parliament. 
 
 This monument is strictly classical in the proportions of every 
 p«rt. To the top of the surbase is sixteen feet from the ground, on 
 this rests the sarcophagus, seven feet eight inches high. The obeiifidc 
 measures forty-two feet eight inches, and the apex two feet one Inch, 
 making altogether sixty-five feet from the ground. The dimensions 
 of the obelisk at the base are six feet by four feet eight inches, 
 tapering oonieally to the apex, when the sides 4ire diminished to 
 thyee leet two taiohea by two feet five inehee.

 Every foot of the land over whioli the Terrace is constructed to 
 historic ground. I>eeds of military prowess and daring seem still to 
 hover in the air behind and below you on every side. 
 
 On the narrow ledge of land immediately below, «id Ijlng be- 
 tween the river and the base of the perpendicular rook, is built « 
 portion of thp |4>w6r Town. The rock is so perpendicular and the

 Strip of lAiirltit; its font so iwrruw that you must advftnoe to tlio 
 very front of the Termoe to get a g<Jod view of the unique Lower 
 Town. Narrow as Is the lodge upon which It is built» it was at 
 one time mueh narrower still, for a good porttoo of It has been re- 
 claimed fn>m the river. 
 
 FOLLOW with the eye the single nam»w street that sktrto around 
 the foot of Cape Diamond, hemmed in by the river until It Is 
 compellocl to hug the cliff for safety. That is Obaraplain street ; 
 and in that narrow pass, immediately below the Citadel, the brave 
 Montgomery fell, mortally wounded. In the snow, at the head of his 
 men. In his rash and daring attack upon QuebiM; on the night of the 
 8l8t Dem>niber, 1775. Me had hoped to surprise the battery tlmt 
 guarded the narrow pass, under eover of the night and of a heavy 
 snow storm. Bis advance was seen, however, V>y the Hergeaut in 
 charge of the battery, who reserved his fire until the brave Amer- 
 ican and his little band were close to the muzzles of the guns. At the 
 critical moment the word of command was given, and the cannon 
 and musketry belched out an unoxpeeted fire. 
 
 Montgomery was one of the lint to fall, and all who failed to 
 beat a precipitate retreat fell with him, literally mowed down by the 
 irresistible grape that Swept the narrow gorge. His frozen body 
 was found next morning in the snow, and later we shall visit the 
 scene of the house, lately demolished, in whleh it was laid out, and 
 the site of the grave in which for forty-three years it hiy buried. 
 
 The defeat of Montgomery and of the Invadhig American army 
 was celebrated, in Quebee, on the anniversary of the fight, for 
 twenty-five years afterwards^ by banf^uettliwa, daiioes» mtlttarsr re*

 Isabel Garrison, of Chicago, who is supportetl In Canada by Sir Wil-

 Montgomery and the Sons of the American Bevolution, propose, if 
 accorded the site, to erect a suitable monument hero to his memory. 
 The City Council of Quebec has unanimously given its approval to 
 the project at the request of the author of this boc»k, acting on behalf 
 of the parties above referred to. 
 
 ALMOST directly below the north end of the Terrace where the 
 cliflf recedes further from the river, and the streets and houses 
 grt^w thicker together, is the little church of Notre Damo dea 
 Tiotoires. The building was until lately as plain within as it is 
 without. In commemoration of the defeat of the English invaders 
 under Sir WilUam Phlpps in 1693, the fdte of Notre Dame de la Vlo- 
 toire was established, to be annually celebrated in this church on 
 the 7th of October; aod after the shipwreck of the second Enfltoli

 the picturesque spectacle of a number of habikmt women— the wives 
 of French Canadian farmers—sitting selling the produce of their 
 gardens and dairies, which is piled hat the boxes and bags by whiob 
 they are surrounded. The several small steamers lying five and six 
 abreast in two or three tiers at the market wharf are the nuu'ket 
 biiats which brought the kahitemt women mid thetr bnttor, eggs, 
 onions and homespun cloth from their riverside homes ai^ farms. 
 Very near the present site of the market building there tolow, 
 Champiain, the s^dous crusader, the bold explorer, the foimder of 
 Quebec, erected his first building in 1<K>8. It included a habitation, a 
 fort and stores. Gradually the land surrounding it was cleared of 
 trees and turned into a garden. One morning, while directing his 
 laborers. Champiain was calted inside by one of his men, who reveal- 
 ed to him a conspiracy amongst some of his followers to murder their 
 commander and deliver Quebec into the hand% of some Basques and

 most stirring events In the History of New France.

 In 1690 the large hall of th6 Oastle witnessed an exalting scene. 
 An English fleet under Sir William Phipps had sailed up the river 
 against Quel>eo. Tho Admiral sent a raei^enger Mhore under a Hag 
 of truce to demand the surrender of tho garrison. He was conducted, 
 blindfolded, to the CaMtle, and when the baiHliig*} was removed from 
 his eyes, he found himself In the presence of the Oovemor, tho 
 haughty Ck>unt de Frontenac, and his brilliantly uniformed oflKeeni. 
 He pre8ente«i Fhlpps' written summons to surrender, and doiuanded 
 an answer within an hour. Frontonae did not avail himself of the 
 proffered delay. He promptly told the messenger to return to his 
 master and Inform him that he recognized no King of England but 
 James, and that William of Orange was a usurper. Then Iwing asked 
 if he would give his answer In writing, •• No," replied Frontenae; 
 •* I will answer your General only by the miHithof my cannons." And 
 he kept his word. Fhlpps made an InefTeettial attempt to bmnbard 
 the city, but the guns from tho fort poured shot into his vessels with 
 a deadly aim, carried away his ensign, disabled some of his ships, 
 Mid compelled him to beat so precipitate a retreat that bis own 
 veri9el cut its cnblo and lelt Its anchor behind it. (2)

 whether in the evangelization of the Indians, at the cost, in many tai- 
 stanoes, of martyrdom, or in the heroic defence of their country

 served these records of a memoral>le past by ere(»ting tablets on the

 The total estimated value of the real estate in the city of Quebec 
 is about $36,500,000. Of this, some four millions represents the value 
 of proiierty belonging to tiie Coi^oration, which may be set against 
 tlie city's b^>nded debt of $6,368,808. Out of the remaining $82,600,000

 a long passage from the Seminary, whoae gates adjoin the front of the

 Opp<Hsite to the Court House. on its Bt.Lou^ street side, we come 
 first to the lUgh-peaked antique Commissariat buildlnsr, fitted out 
 with solid iron shutters by the Imperii Government in the early 
 ttart of the century, for the safe-keeping, before the era of banks and 
 police in Quebec, of the specie to bo paid out to the troops and army 
 ex)ntraetors. Immediately beyond it is Kent House, the town resi- 
 denoe of H. B. H. the late Duke of Kent, when eommauder of the 
 British troops in Canada. The old Bt. Louis H'>tel building, now a 
 boarding house, comes next, and the small low buddiug Immediately

 for botb tbe royal Didte and bis brotber, tbe Duke of Kent, were 
 zealous Freemasons. 
 
 fllMEDIATELY adjoining the old 8t. Louie Hotel, on tbe westerly 
 side, is the Acadinny of Music. It is the ^wpular place of amuse- 
 ment here, and since It has always had tbe reputation of being 
 ooottpied by flrst-class companies, performers are usually greeted 
 with large audiences. 
 
 Two doors past tbe Ai^emy there was demolished in 1893, a 
 relic of "Ye olden times" in the shape of a little one storey house 
 with high gables, that denoted the earliest style of French Canadian 
 architeeture. This was, according to Le Moine, the bouse in which 
 the chivalrous Montcalm breathed bis last. It will be remembered 
 by those who have carefully studied the events of the memorable 
 13th of September, 175», that Wolfe's Intrepid rival rode In from his 
 faMt battlefield, on his blaetc charger, mOTtaUy wounded, and sup- 
 ported by two griaiadiers, through St. Louis Gate, and on this very 
 street told some poor women who were horrified at his appearanoe 
 and ealled out that be was killed, not to weep for him as he was not 
 seriously hurt. It is recorded that he expired at an early hour the

 In tbe early part of tbls eentury, Queen Victoria's fatber, tbo

 and made several of tbe statues in tbe Basilioa. (1) 
 
 Immediately opposite, is tbe abort street leading to tbe Ursuline 
 Convent, known as Parlolr street, «>n tbe north-west corner of whlcb 
 lived the Abb6 Vlgnal, previous tw his j<»iuing the Sulplcians in 
 Montreal. In October, 1661, he was captured by the Iroquois at Ia 
 Prairie de la Madeleine, near Montreal, roasted alive and partly 
 eaten by those ttends incarnate. This street was originally <»1UkI 
 **mparhirt" because it is the site of the fiwt-i>ath that led " to the 
 parlor " of the convent 
 
 THIS convent, founded in 16 >■■> by Madame de ta Peltrie, Ib one of 
 the most ancient in Canada. Built at first in 1611, it was de- 
 stroyed by fire in 1650: rebuilt, it met witha similar fate In 1686. 
 The foundations of that of 1641, and the walls of that of 1650 being 
 used, a third structure was erected alter the lire, and is still to be seen 
 in rear of the modern wing, facing Garden and Parlolr streets. The

 of Itie country and members of the Boyal family. The sisterhood ol 
 the convent numbers nearly a hundred, and its educational system 
 is Justly renowned. 
 
 The daughters of leaiting Canadian ami Amerli^n families are 
 amongst the i^ or so of pupil-boarders in the institution, and there 
 are also a large number of day pupils. Fraser's Highlanders wore 
 stationed in this convent during the winter of 1759, following tho cap* 
 ture of Quebec, and tho table on which the first sentence of death 
 was signed by tlie British authorities against a woman, Madame 
 Dodier. for poisoning her huuband, is still to be seen in the rear part 
 of the convent. 
 
 But to tourists, the most attmctive feature of the institution is 
 the chapel, which contains the mortal remains of Montcalm, and 
 what are claimed to i>e the foIlowlugreti(»:— the body of Bt. Clements 
 from the Catacombs of ftome, brought to the Ursulines in 1687; the 
 siiuUof (mo of the companions of St. Ursula, 1676; the skull of 8t. 
 Justus, 1663; a piece of the Holy Cross, 1667; a portion of the Crown 
 of Thorns, brought from Paris in 1830. 
 
 Oeneral Hontoalm was buried here on the day fcdlowing the fatal 
 yet glorious fight of the IStb of September, 1769, on the Plains of 
 Abraham. His appropriate tomb ¥nis an excavation in the tock 
 formed by the explosion trf a shell. Le Moino relates that in 1881^

 IT has more than once bean remarked by toiirii»t8 that, in their 
 peculiar fondneHb for a rellKloiw nomonelaturo, tho early French 
 nettlers of Quebec muat have exhausted the Baiiitly calenilar 
 in adapting names to their public highways, pUw^es and iostltutious. 
 To this pardonable trait in their character, we must unqucetionattly 
 af)t;rit)e the names given to two of the three original f'atoa in thoir 
 primitive Ihies of defence— 8t. Jxmis and St. John's Clatc«9 - namcM 
 which they were allowed to retain when tho Oallle llHos i>ale<l l>efore 
 the meteor flag of Britain. The enaction of the ortginal St. Limis 
 Gate undoubtedly dates liack an far as 1694. Authentic records pn»ve 
 this fact Ijej'ond question; but It is not quite so clear what part 
 this gate played In subsciiuent history down to the time of the 
 Ccmquest, though It may \m fairly presumed that It rendered im- 
 portant services, in ocmnt^etion especially with the many liarasslog 
 attacks of the ferocious Irwiuois I tithe con^ntant wars which were 
 waged in the early days of th»« Infant colony, with those formI<lable 
 and savage toes of the French. One thing is certain, however, that 
 it was one of the gates by whifh a great portion of Montcalm's army, 
 after its defeat on the Plains of Abraham, passetl into the city on Its 
 way back, viu Palace Gate and the bridge of boats over the St. 
 Charles, to the Bt^auport camp. In 1791. after Quebec had fallen into 
 British hands, St. Louis Gate was reported to be In a ruinous €«on- 
 dition, and it l>etame necessary to pull it down and rebuiiti It. Be- 
 tween this date and 1823, it appears to have undergone several 
 changes; but in the latter year, as part of the plan of defence, in- 
 cluding the Citadel, adopted by the celebrated Duke of Wellington,

 avenue of communicatiou between tho Upper Town and the 
 suburbs, some eiirbteen years ago. It tH>nsequeutly became 
 necessary, in keeping with the lesthetio spirit of the whole Dufferin 
 scheme, to fill up in some woy this unsightly gap without interfering 
 with tralBc. It was linaiiy decided to erwt hero one of the proposed 
 memorial gates, which is altogether therefore an addition to the 
 number of the alrmidy exlsthig gates or their intended substitutes. 
 This structure was designed to do homage to tlie meniory of Ed- 
 ward, Duke of Kent, the father of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, who 
 contributed from iier own purse towards the cost of its construction, 
 and whose daughter, H. B. H. Princess Louise, laid its foundation 
 stone in l87d.

 inal gates of the Frenoh fortress dates from the same year, and Its 
 history Is very much the same. Thrinigh It, another portion of 
 Moncalm's defeated forces found their way behind the shelter of the 
 defences after the fatal day of the Plains of Abraham. Like St. 
 liouis (Hte, too, it was pulled down on account of its ruinous con- 
 dition In 17W, and subtHMjuentty rebuilt by the British Ctovemroent 
 in the shaiie in which it endured until 1865, when->the fbrst of all the 
 more modem gates— it was demolished and replaced, at an expense 
 of some $10,000 to the city, by Its present more ornate and conven- 
 ient substitute to meet the increased requirements of traifio over 
 the great artery of the upper levels— St. John street. It may be 
 well t€» remark that St. John's Gate was one of the objtHJtive points 
 included In the American plan of assault upon Quebec on the memor- 
 able 81st December, 177S; Col. Livingston, with a regiment of insur- 
 gent Canadians, and Major Brown, with part of a regiment from 
 Boston, having been detailed to make a false attack upon the walls 
 to the south of it and to set fire to the gate itself with combustibles 
 prepared for that purpose-a neat little scheme in which the assail- 
 ants were foiled by the great depth of snow and other obstacles.

 An Amorloan gontleman who vteltod QuoImjo somo tliuo ago. got

 was a soape^irnuse and boodler of the deepest dye. He had tu skip 
 out of France, because of certain deficiencies in the vaults of the 
 banlc of which be war manager, but oven at that early history of the 
 world he Itnew enough to come to Canada, where he was Moniied by 
 the ladies. He was rather fond of horsemanship, and taking lone 
 drinks out in the country hotels. One evening he got pretty full, and 
 could not find his way home before night overtook him. He did not 
 care about ghost stories, for the ghost was in the habit of walking 
 for him at the end of each month with a great big wallet of dollars; 
 so he sat down under a tree and slept. Caroline was accustomed to 
 climb a tree in that part of the wood every night for the purpose of 
 making up probs for the morning papers, and, unfortunately for her, 
 she choose the tree under which the Intendant was sleeping it oflT. 
 They saw each other, and loved at sight, and they might have l)een 
 ever so happy if Mrs. Bigot didn't happen to catch on to the 
 racket. Caroline was sleeping one night in her forest bower dream- 
 ing about the very bright world she lived in, when the green eyed 
 Mrs. Bigot crept in with a largo snicker snee, and with a howl of 
 rage and vengeance severed the carotid artery of the sleeping 
 Indian beauty. When the Intendant heard of the row, he consti- 
 tuted himself Judge and Jury on his wife, lianged her first and tried 
 her lUfterwards. He then scooped up all the cash and bonds in the 
 Provincial Exchequer, and made his sneak in the dead of night to 
 the States, where he soon got into Congress."

 Bhops in Quebec, «id the large and bandsomo parish ohuroh of St. 
 Boohs. St Peter's (Ghurcb of England) is upon St. Vaiier street. 
 
 In this quarter, which is also the industrial district of the city, 
 are to be found almost all the extensive tanneries and shoe factories 
 for which Quebec is noted. In years irone by, ship-building was a 
 great industry in St. Boohs, twenty to thirty wooden ships having 
 frequently been b'uilt in a single winter, along the banks of the St. 
 Charles river, and sometimes almost double that number. The whole 
 of this suburb was destroyed by fire in 1845, and numbers of human 
 beings perished. It was again burned over in 1866. The population 
 of St. Boohs and St. Sauveur is almost entirely French-Canadian. 
 
 Its retail merchants do a very large business, not only with the 
 farmers who roach the city with their produce by way of Dorchester 
 Bridge or Little Biver Boad, from the outlying country parishes, but 
 with the thousands of factory operatives in their midst, and of pro- 
 fessional men and others who gain their livelihood amongst them. 
 
 Most of the land upon which St. Boch's is built has been reclaim- 
 ed from the river. There is a large convent opposite the parish 
 church, and near by it a public market-place, called after Jacques- 
 Gartier, the discoverer of Canada, where, as in the Lower Town, and 
 again outside of St. John's Gate, the market-women sit in their carts 
 on market days, dickering with prospective purchasers as to the 
 prloes for which they wiU sell their eggs, butter, flowers, vegetables, 
 homespun wool, and those French-Canadian "black puddings " that 
 are st> fearfully and wonderfully made. Industry and frugality have 
 made some of these market-women and their families quite wealthy, 
 —tm wealth is counted in the rural districts of French-Canada. Near- 
 ly everyone of such families is represented by one at least of its mem- 
 bers in the priesthood, or in the ranks of some of the other learned 
 professions.

 people and for those afflicted by disease. It is a cloistered convent 
 and cared for by a Lady Superior and seventy nuns. Here was

 THE building of the Bt. Boeh Amateur Athletic Association, or, as 
 it is properly called ** L' Amociatkm AthUtiqm dea Amateurti de St. 
 Roch," the members being nearly all French speaking, though 
 most of them speak excellent English, is situated on the comer of 
 Dorchester and Gharest streets. The building is a frame wooden 
 structure, which is to bo cased in brick, though at the time of writ- 
 ing this has not yet been done. It measures 180 x 86 feet and is 36 
 feet in height. The Association was formed in the spring of 1893 and 
 its membership is about 900. The principal amusements are billiards, 
 bowling, rackets and handball, for all of which the appliances and 
 facilities are excellent. There is also a very good gymnasium in 
 connection with the Association, which, as will be noticed, devotes 
 itself almost wholly to indoor sports, though its members freely 
 patronize the outdoor games and matches of the Q. A. A. A. Good 
 baths are also at the disposal of the members. The association 
 is controlled by a jjoint-stock company, composed of wealthy St. 
 Booh merchants.

 TlIE Citadel, aud the old furtiflcations, rank of course amon^dt the 
 leading attractions of Quebec. The road leading up to the Cita- 
 del has already been poin\«d out, between the Garrison Club 
 and St. Louis Gate. As there Is a steep hill to ollmb, many prefer to 
 drive to the en^.rance of the celebrated fortress. 
 
 Before arriving there, the tourist passes through a hibyrinth of 
 trenches, bordered on either sides by high walls blocked by earth- 
 works, aU of which are pierced with openings thntugh which gleam 
 the mouth of the cannon, and hwpholed for musketry. The entrance 
 to the Citadel is also barred by a massive chain gate, and also by the 
 OalhousieOate erec;ted in 1827, a massive construction of considerable 
 depth. The Citadel covers an area of about forty acres on the high- 
 est point of Cape Diamond. The French erected wooden fortifloations 
 here, and spent so much money upon them and upon the other de- 
 fences of the city, together with what was boodied by Bigot and his 
 assistants, that Louis XIV is reported to have asked whether the 
 fortifloations of Quebec were built of gold. 
 
 The first un** jr British rule were constructed by the Boyal En- 
 gineers, and fell into decay at the end of the century. Their re- 
 construction dates back to 1833, aud was carried out according to 
 plans submitted to and approved by the Duke of Wellington, at a 
 cost of aboiilk $25,000,000. The guard rooms are located in the Dal- 
 housie Gate, the barracks are casemated and many of the other bulk! - 
 ings are considered bomb-proof. The details of the alleged private 
 underground passages communicating with certain looalitiee with- 
 out the fortress, are of course secrets that the military authorities 
 keep to themsehee. At the easterly end of the ofBoera' quarters, a 
 Btttatantial row c^ stone buildings overlooking the river, are the 
 
90 OIUMBBIUS' QVHBKO OUII>l. 
 
 yioc-regftl quarters, whore the Governor-General of OaitMla aud his 
 tomily reside during the latter part of the Hummor In each year. 
 
 In the centre of the square, tourists are shown a small brass 
 cannon, captured by the British at Bunker's Hill. I think it was 
 Joaquin Miller, who, when shown this fontildable piece of ordnance, 
 said to his guide, " well you'vegot the cannon but we've got Bunker's 
 Hill." Henry D. Thureau, who visited Quebec in i860, says ot the 
 Citadel:—** Such structures carry us back to the middle ages. . . . 
 The sentinel with his musket, beside a man with his umbrella, is 
 speotral. . . I should as soon expect to find the sentinels still re- 
 lieving one another on the walls of Ktneveh. What a troublesome 
 thing a wall is ! I thought it was to defend me, and not I it." (1). The 
 noon-gun on the Citadel still marks the meridian time as it did on the 
 occasion of Thoreau's visit. He desoribtMi it as " answering the pur- 
 pose of a dinner horn." The fortifications are, as Thoreau says, 
 (Huulpresent. Mo matter from what point you look towards Qu^ec 
 for ^ht or ten milesaway,they are still with their geometry against 
 the sky. Nobody should miss the famous view of the river and the 
 surrounding country from the King's Bastion, ahready referred to. 
 Here is erected the flag-staff from which waves the emblem of Brit- 
 ain's sovereignty in these parts. It was by means of the halyard of 
 this flag-staff that the American sympathizers, General Thaller and 
 Colonel Dodge, in October, 1888. made their escape from the Citadel, 
 where they were prisoners. They had previously drugged the sen- 
 try, and contrived to get safely out of the city, despite the precaution 
 of the Commandant, Sir James McDonald, a Waterloo veteran. 
 
 The garrison of Quebec now consists of some 366 officers and men 
 of the permanent Canadian Militia foree, under the command, as

 already mentioned, of Lleut*Col. Ifoutizambert. Some 260 of theeo 
 exclusive of offloers, and (omprlBiiiiBr oompaniett number one and two 
 of the Boyal Canadian Artillery, are quartered In the Citadel The 
 quarters of " B " Field Battery have been already indloated. Up to 
 1871 Quebec was garrisoned by British truopa, of whom two regl> 
 ments of the lino with detachments of engineers and artillery were 
 \t8ually quartered here. When these 8000 men were withdrawn from 
 Quebec in 1871, leaving the Gibraltar of America in charge of the 
 Dominion force, it may readily be imagined what a loss was sus' 
 talned by Quebec society and also by local tradesmen. It meant at 
 one stroke a decreased expenditure of nearly lialf a million dollars a 
 yoar. 
 
 In connection with the departure of the last of the Imi>erlal 
 tr4.x>ps from Quebec, Captain Wallace ie cited by Walter Biohards, 
 author of " the Queen's Army," as furnishing the following curious 
 and noteworthy ooincidenee : " The second and third battalions of the 
 60th Regiment, as part of the first English garrison of Quebec, were 
 present in September, 1750, when the British ensign was hoisted over 
 the Citadel by an officer of the Boyal Artillery; and in November, 
 1871,— one hundred and twelve years afterwards, a detatchment of 
 the first battalion of the 60th,— the remnant of the last English garri- 
 son of Quebec, consigned the Imperial flag to the keeping of another 
 artillery ofUoer, while the flag of the Dominfon of Canada was hoist- 
 ed in its stead." This famous Regiment, now iuiown as the King's 
 Royal Rifle Corps, was originally called the Royal American, having 
 been raised in America in 1755. It was under tliis name that it was 
 known at the siege of Quebec, under Wolfe, from whom it is claimed, 
 it received Its present proud motto:— CWer ei Audax.

 housie, then Goyemor^leneral of Canada, and through his influ- 
 ence a Boyai Charter was obtained for it. The scope of the society's 
 operations is widespread, its ooUection of inanusoripts and rare his- 
 torical documents, printed and otherwise, is extensive and valuable, 
 and the library and reading room are exceedingly good, and serve 
 their purpose admirably. Such studonte of history as Pranois 
 Barkman, General Sogers, Ben: Perley-Poore, General James Grant 
 Wilson, Mr. Edward Slafter and other men of mark have made 
 frequent use of its oc^eotlons of papers, and it stands to-day, as one 
 dt the foremost bodies of the kind on the Continent. Its President, 
 Mr. Arohd. Campbell, audits past presidents, Mr. Cyr. Tessier 
 •Qd Dr. Geo. Stewart, F JUS.C, F.B.G.S., are ever ready to show 
 any attention and courtesy that may be in their power to people of 
 literary tastes visiting Quebec. Morrin College is cailed after Dr. 
 Morrln, its founder, has two teoulties, arts and divinity, and is alBli- 
 ated with McGlll University, Montreal. The building was used as a 
 Jail until June, 18S7. In April, 1837, one Ducbarme was hanged here for 
 she^ stealing. The last execution at the old Jail dates back more 
 than thirty years, the OfNidemned, who was one Meehan, from Yal- 
 oartier, havtaig been convicted of the murder of a ndghbor, named 
 Pearl, in a street squabble.

 ornate service of any Protestant church in Quebec. There are also on 
 this street a small French Protestant church, and tho large new church 
 of St. John Baptiste, erected to replace that destroyed by fire a few 
 years ago. The remaining city churches are not of much interest to 
 tourists, if we except the Basilica and English Cathedral, which have

 THE Parliament House and Departmental Buildings, situated

 edifices in Canada. Designed by Mr. E. £. I'aifh^, of Quebec, their 
 construction was oommenoed in 1878 and completed in 1887. The 
 different varieties of stone employed in their erection were all quar- 
 ried in the Province of Quebec. The buildings form a perfect square^

 bronie Indian group in front of the main entrance to Parliament 
 House, is by Hubert, the Oanadian sculptor now residing in Paris, In 
 which city it was much admired for its boldness of conception and 
 ar(4stic design and execution. Heroic statuary of the princlpul 
 actors in Oanadian history finds a lodgment in the various recesses 
 in the front fBcade of the Parliament House, those of Count Froutenao, 
 of Generals Wolfe, Montcalm and de Levis, of Colon<4l DeHaiaberry 
 and Lord Elgin, being already in position. This block of provincial 
 buildhigs has already cost between 11,500,000 and tii,ooo,ooo. It con- 
 tains an excellent library, and in its vaults may be seen in very good 
 oondition, all, or nearly all, the original archives of New France, be- 
 fore the conquest by Oreat Britain in 1760. In tfaeee buiidiutrs, there 
 was held in September, 1800, the ninth annual meeting of the Amer- 
 ican Forestry Association, on which occasion two hickory trees 
 ttmxt from the Hermitage, General Andrew Jaokson'i^ old home in 
 Tennessee, were planted, where they may now be seen on the Grande 
 Aiide, or south side of the buildings. The venerable chief Sioui of the 
 once powerful Hurons, accompanied by his son, both in full Indian 
 dress, visited the association, and addressed the members, in French, 
 in the following emotional language :~ 
 
 '* We are the children of the forest, come to welcome the friends 
 of the forest. I wish you for my people Joy and sucess in your good 
 work. When I was a child I lived in the forest; I wish to die there. 
 We are few In number; we are passing away with our forest homes.

 the oity, Is the new Drill Hall, erected Jointly by the Federal Govern-

 Facing the Orande Allto upon the square in front of the Drill 
 Hall is the newly-erected monument In memory of the late Major 
 Short and Staff-Sergeant Walliok, both of " B " Battery, Boyal Can-

 Home authorities, as will be seen further on, place the scene of her 
 «.<!xeoution upon the other side of the St. Lawrence. 
 
 De Gasp6, in his memoirs (page 110)^ tells a romantio story of the 
 manner in which a condemned French soldier, here cheated the 
 gallows, by the aid of his Father Confessor, shortly before the 
 British Conquest of Canada. The crime for which he had been con- 
 demned to be hanged was the murder of a comrade, whom he aocused 
 of criminal intrigues with his wife. The victim had been known In 
 Qu^Mc as a very bad character. The murderer, on account of the 
 circumstances preceding his crime, as wellasbeoau«f)of his previous 
 good conduct, oijoyed to a large respeiot the sympathy (tf the com- 
 munity. A number of his friends pk>tted to save his Ufe. TheBeool- 
 let Father who accompanied the condemned man tu the place of ex- 
 ecution, appeared to exhibit a tender affection for his penitent, em-, 
 gracing him warmly during the Journey with bis arms about his 
 
M obambbm' qubbko ovidb. 
 
 neck. One of bis hands however contained a small bottle of nitric add, 
 with which he carefully impregnated the cord about the soldier's 
 necit that was to serve as the instrument of his death. "When the trap 
 was sprung the corroded rope gave way. The friends of the con- 
 demned man wh<i had crowded around the seafTold, quickly made 
 a way for his escape, and then as promptly closed up their ranks to 
 prevent the soldiers from following him. The ruse was suooessful, 
 for the unfortunate fellow, after hiding for some days In a cooper's 
 shop in 8ault-au-Matelot street, made good his escape to France, 
 having been shipped on board a departing vessel by his friend the 
 cooper, in one of his barrels. 
 
 Another place of execution during the last century was situated 
 on the rising ground south of St. John street, near St. John's Church, 
 or rather near the head of Sutherland street. This spot should Ite 
 pointed out to the tourist by his cabman on his return from St. Foye. 
 Here a few years after the conquest, a young Abenaquis Indian who 
 had assassinated two Englishmen was executed. De Gasp6 relates

 lu that year the Crescent A. A. A. of this oity won the lutormedlato 
 Bugby Football Ohampionship, and the enthusiasm thus raised so 
 boomed sports in Quebec that the then existing association changed 
 its name to that of its oity, widened its scope and immensely increased 
 its membership. This growth in members gave rise to a more than 
 corresponding acquisition of money and influ^ce, which enisled the 
 boys to secure the handsome and spacious grounds in question. 
 They undoubtedly rank among the best in Canada, being considerably 
 hirger than the old Thistle Lacrosse Orounds which formed a part of 
 the area now covered by them. The frontage on the Grande A116e 
 is 400 feet and the depth along the wall of the old Cholera burying 
 ground is 700 feet. During the summers of 1898 and imi the erection 
 of the grand stand (with seating accommodation of 2,500) the levelling 
 of the grounds and the laying of a safe and fast quarter mile cinder 
 track, banked at the comers, for running and bicycling, were suocess- 
 fully completed, and cost, together with the ten foot fence, some 
 $7,000. In the summer of 1894, too, a neat and comfortable Club 
 House, not very pretentious in its style but quite good enough for 
 the purpose, was erected at a cost of $4,000. The membership of the 
 Association is at present over 800, and the attendance, at a good 
 lacrosse match for instance, runs about 5,000 persons. In addition 
 to the Club House there is a fine gymnasiiun in oonnedion with the 
 Q. A. A. A. situated in the Montcalm Market Hall. There are several 
 good dubs alHliated with the association, and, to a certahd extent, un- 
 der its controL The Lacrosse Club holds the Intermediate Champicm- 
 ship of the World, one of the ohief prizes of Athletics, won after a 
 long mmI haxd struggle in 1894. The Football and Cricket Clubs have 
 some very i^ood material, and the Bioyde Club, organised in 1894, 
 captured the om mile and three mile Provincial ChampkNMhips the 
 same year, and gives great promise of even higher achievements. 
 The Hookey dob is another very popular and very strong organUa*

 direct control of the Q. A. A. A. until such time as special dubs are 
 formed for them. The grounds are well lighted by electricity, and 
 very successful football matches and bicycle and foot races are 
 frequently held at night. That this theatre of miniature trials of 
 strength and prowess was the scene of much of that grander and 
 more sanguinary combat which asserted the power of Britain's arms 
 Is proved by the finds made when levelling the grounds. Kumbers of 
 skeletons, dosens upon dozens of cannon balls, bullets, military 
 buttons and ornaments, etc., and other tropUes of war were then 
 discovered. The playing field is oval in form, and all authorities 
 agree In sajrlng that it forms an ideal lacrosse ground. The view of 
 the valley of the St. Charles and of the forest-olad Laurentian HiUe 
 behind, forms an agreeable picture upon which the eye may rest 
 during a pause in the game. 
 
 rE drive out by the Orande A116e and in by the Bte. Foye, is one 
 of the most beautiful and most deservedly popular in the 
 vicinity of Quebec. Upon the Orande AUde are the prettiest 
 and most modon of Quebec's town residences, wtdle after passing 
 the toll-gate and the Plains of Abraham, the tourist obtains glimpses 
 of the oountry seats of our leading merchants, and splendid pano- 
 ramic views of the stately St. Lawrence on the (me side, on the other 
 of the fertile valley of the St. Charles, with its background of blue 
 Laurentian Mountains, on the go&tle ascents of which stand out the 
 pretty French Canadian villages of Chaiiesbourg and Lorette. 
 
 The famous Martello tofwers are seen before leaving the city, but 
 a better view of these and also of the famous battlefield which deoided 
 the fM»of half a oontinent, and upon which fell Wolfe and Kontcalm,

 foot, along the beantiful Gove Fields at the brink of the olifb over> 
 looking the magnlftoent St. Lawrenoe. 
 
 Opposite to the Olub House and grounds of the Q. A. A. A. Is the 
 Church of England Female Orphan Asylum, formerly a military 
 home, but sold to the present owners after the departure of the 
 British troq;MB from Canada. 
 
 St. Bridget's Asylum is a few feet further on upon the other side 
 of the road, and is a sheltering home for the inflrm and the orphans 
 of the congregation of St. Patrldc's Church. 
 
 Almost opposite to it, but a little further from the city, is the 
 Ladles* Protestant Home, a handsome building for the accommoda- 
 tion of old and Inflrm women and orphan girls of the various Pro- 
 testant denominations, which was erected in 1863 and is under the 
 management of a committee of ladies. 
 
 But let us for the present continue our drive. Lees than two 
 miles from the dty we pass Spencer Wood, the official residence of 
 tiie Li«itenant-Oovemor of the Province of Quebec, and formerly 
 that of the Governor-General of Canada. Its present occupant, the 
 Hon. J. A. Ohapleau, is one'of the most popuUr Governors Quebec 
 has ever had. The residence is approached by a lengthy drive 
 through a forest avenue^ reminding one of the estate of an English 
 nobleman. The beauty of its situation, overlooking the St. Lawrenoe 
 and the opposite shore, and aflTording a splendid view of GapeDia- 
 m(md and the Citadel of Quebec, might weU be deemed unapproaoh- 
 able. did not the environs of the city present so many scenes of great 
 and BurpaBsii« lovelinesB. Royalty, in the petBonB of the Prince of 
 Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duoheesof Oonnaught, 
 the late Duke of Albany, and the Princess Louise, h«B frequently

 Elgin used to say that there ho not only loved to live, but would like 
 to w»t hia bones. From 1815 to 1880, Spencer Wood was owned and 
 occupied by the Hon. Michael Henry Perceval, then Collector of Im- 
 perial Customs for the port of Quebec, who gave to this beautiful 
 estate the name it has since borne, after that of his distinguished 
 kinsman the Bt. Hon Spencer Perceval, Chancellor of the Exchequer 
 of Great Britain, who was assassinated by BeUiogham within the pre- 
 cincts of the House of Commons, on the 11th Blay, 1812. Spencer 
 Wood had been purchased from old LehoulUer, a miserly Lower 
 Town merchant, and up to the time of its occupancy by the Hon. M. 
 H. Perceval, It bore the name of Powell Place, conferred on it In ITW 
 by General Watson Powell. Mrs. M. H. Perceval was the eldest 
 daughter of Sir Charles Flower, Lord Mayor of London in 1809, and 
 on the death of her mother in that year, did the honors of the 
 Mansion House for her father. Her marriage portion was f 40,000, 
 and she subsequently Inherited an additional £60,000. (1). 
 
 Adjoining the gubernatorial abode is the picturesque and elegant 
 estate <rf J. M. LeMolne, P.K.8.C., the historian of Quebec. Spencer 
 Grange, as it is called, with its magnificent trees, avenues, gardens, 
 views, vinery, library and museum. Is a favorite resort of men of llter- 
 ftiy and antiquarian tastes. Here the scholarly proprietor has enter- 
 tained the late Dean Stanley, Audubon, Parkman and Waterton, Lord 
 and Lady DulTerln and the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen, amongst 
 many other distinguished people, while the annual grape festival of 
 Mr. LeMoine's beautiful home dates from that given by him in 1864, 
 in honor of George Augustus Sala, who was then attending the con- 
 ference in Quebec, called to discuss the scheme of Canadian Confed- 
 eration, in his capacity as correspondent of the London Daiiy

 4B aiready iudioBted, a pleasant walk of al>out a tnllo may be had 
 from the Dufferln Terraoeto tbo Plaiim of Abraham, over what 
 is known ae the Ck)ve Field. This is public property and inter- 
 sected by numerous footways. The tourist takes to the field, on the 
 south side of the road, between St. Louis Gate and the first building; 
 outside of it, which is the new Skating Bink, or perhat)8 better, 
 by the other side of the Bink. Beaching the height of land a few 
 hundred feet irom the road, the pedestrian finds himself on the 
 classio ground which intervenes between the Oitadel and the Plains, 
 while the view of the St. Iiawrenoe at his feet, and the picturesque 
 scenery of the other shore more than repay him for the visit. That 
 broken ground and those artificial mounds are remnants of the old 
 French earthworks. Continuing along the summit of the cliffs that 
 overlook the river, we reach the Martello towers, which wore built 
 as outposts of the Citadel fortifications, some seventy years ago. 
 
 In the vicinity of these towers occurred some of the heavi<wt 
 fighting towards the end of the famous battle of the I3th September, 
 1759, when the advance line of the British army followed up the ad- 
 vantage they had gained shortly after the striking down of Wolfe by 
 a French bullet. The Plains of Abraham, properly so called at the 
 present time, stretch away from near the St. Louis toll-gate, west- 
 ward, upon the south side of the road, and extend from the highway 
 to the brink of the steep precipice overhuiging the river. The 
 battlefield is Qovernment property, but is at present rented as a 
 pasturage for the cattle of city milkmen. Oooasionally there is 
 hcne-raoiiMr bere under the management of the Quebec Turf Club.

 At the WMtern extremity of the enoloeure is Mftrohmouut, tho 
 property of Thou. Beckett, Eoq., and Just beyond is Wolfeafleld, the 
 uplendid estate of the Hon. £. J. Prloe, head of one of the leading 
 firms in the EngUsh and Canadian lumber trade. It is not in name 
 alone associated with the hero of Quebec. Ou the river side of thin 
 property, beneath the oliS; is Wolfe's Cove, the landing place of the 
 British hero of 1759, and the steep and narrow path is still pointed 
 out upon the face of the rooky preoipioe, where Qeneral Wolfe, un- 
 der cover of the darkness of a September night, led his devoted army 
 to the scene of his heroic death and victory. 
 
 It Is quite impossible, within the compass of so diminutive a 
 work as this, to describe the various incidents of that momentous 
 fight. Its leading events are fresh in the mind of every school boy, 
 and LeMolne (l)*has preserved in several of his sketches, a number 
 of ijDteresting details of the great struggle, not found in most of the 
 histories of the period. We have, too, from the artistlo pen of 
 Francis Parkman, an elaborate description and plan of the Battle of 
 the Plains, in his book on " Montcalm and Wolfe." 
 
 The fUl of New France into the hands of the English was due not 
 only to the strategy and heroism of the victorious Wolfe, but to the 
 neglect of the colony's interest at the court of the licentious and 
 dissolute Louis XY. Yet De Gtasp^ relates (2) that he never heard the 
 Canadian people accuse the French monarch of causing their disas- 
 ters. They held the beautiful but abandoned woman, who exercised 
 BO baneful an influence over the king, responsible for the abandon* 
 ment of Ctoada to its own resources, and insisted that the country 
 had been sold to the English by Madame la Pompadour. And certain

 French ambMaftdor In Lottdon,>-the Duo de Nlvemols: "We aro 
 ready to yoluntarily oede Oanada to the EngUeh : much good may it 
 do thorn." (1) Voltaire, her friend and flatterer, had already written 
 in 1750 "Tou know that these two nations (France and Bngland) 
 are at war for antral aerea of anow, and are spending in Uie fight 
 more than the whole of Oanada is worth ;" (2) and he laXw deeorlbed 
 the country as " oorered with snow and leu for eight months of the 
 year, and inhabited by barbarians, bears and beavers." (8) And upon 
 learning that Quebec had been taken by the Eoglish, la Pompadour 
 is reported to have exclaimed: "At last the king will be able to 
 sleep peacefully." " God be praised ! I die happy," exclaimed the 
 immortal Wolfe, fatally wounded on the Plains of Abraham, upon 
 being told that the Frenoh army had taken flight. " Ood be praised ! 
 I die content. I have n<^hing more to ask of Heaven ! " cried the 
 mother of Madame la Pompadour with her dying breath, when told 
 that her wickedly ambitious and seductive daughter had suooeeded 
 in her designs up<ni the king. (4) How blasphemously licentious In 
 the ease of the Parisian mother,— Madame Poiwon,— were the words 
 which in the mouth of the dying British general^ sent comfort to the 
 heart of his widowed mother at home, and testif;" to ail the ages of 
 his undying devotion to Ood, his duty and his king t

 Ono of tho moMt iuten^sting feftturee to the tourist, of tbia 
 hlBiorio locality, l» undoubtedly the monument to tho memory of the 
 victorious general, erected on the exact spot where " Wolfe died 
 vlotorloua." That laassive building, a few feet distant, which orowna 
 yonder knoll, Is the district prison,-" a hideous Jail." says Joaquin 
 MiUer, "surmounting almost the very spot where the Immortal 
 Wolfe fell and died." It was during the British assault upon the 
 French position on this rising ground, that Gunetai Wolfe received 
 his death wound. He lived long enough to learn that the French 
 army was put to flight, and then expressed his readiness to die. The 
 Highlanders closely pursued the tle'jlng enemy, and many of them 
 were butchered before they reached the bridge of boats over the Ht. 
 Oharles, towards which they rushed by way of what is now 8t. John's 
 suburbs, Ste. Genevieve hill and Bt. Bochf«. The Plains of Abraham 
 were so called aftur one Abraham Martin, who was pilot for the King 
 of France in tho 8t. Lawrence, though a Hcotohman by descent, and 
 who acquired this property some two and a half oenturies ago. 
 
 Lord Wolseley, who, in his caiwcity of Banger of Greenwich 
 Park, is an attendant at the old parish church of Ht. Alphege, has, it 
 Is announced, expressed his surprise that tho remains of General 
 James Wolfe, the hero of Quebec, should Lie in the vaults of the 
 church, beneath "the Boyal pew " officially occupied by the ranger, 
 without a memorial to mark their existence. To the public at large 
 the grandiose mcmument to Wolfe's memory in Westminster Abbey, 
 Wilton's correctly classical nude figure of the hero, with its aooom. 
 panylng allegorical bas-relief representing the chief kieldents of the 
 famous St. Lawrence campaign, the heights of Abraham, the faith- 
 ful Highland sergeant, the wounded warrior, and the oak decorated

 one never feels tired. The scenery all along the roads is pretty and 
 i nteresltng, and foil of graceful variety. Among the principal drives 
 may be mentioned the drive to Moutmoreuci Falls, and the Natural 
 Steps, -the latter no one should miss on any aoeount,— to the Falls of 
 Lorette, the Falls of Bte. Anne and the Chaudiere Falls. Few persons 
 over go to see the Fortifloations at Levis, and yet they are weli 
 worthy of a visit. Then there is the old ruin of Chateau Bigot, the 
 haunt of one of the most notorious of scoundrels, as well as the worst 
 of Intendants. Chateau Bichcr is on the way to 8te. Anne's, and 
 though the distance is a tritte. the road goes through such a lovely

 of lake scenery cannot do better than spend a few hours at the beau-

 A oabstttntial croM beMrlnj; a similM insorlptioo, was ereoted up' 
 on tbe Mune site in 1888. Ninety years after Cartier spent his first 
 winter here, the scene of the earliest building erected in <>uiada by 
 £urop<»ns became that of the first Jesuit monastery in New Franee. 
 
 From this establishment wont forth the first heroes of the Jesuit 
 missions in Canadat--the discoverers of the Interior of half a con- 
 tinent, many of whom sealed their faith with their blood, after en- 
 during the most frightful sufferings In their endeavour to win over 
 the savage Indian hordes of Ouiada at once to Heaven and to France. 
 
 rREE miles north of the Fort Jacques Gartier, the picturesque 
 village of Charlesbourg, with its handsome church, is seen, 
 perched upon the slope of a hill and cmnmandlng a splendid 
 view of the city of Quebec and its immediate surroundings. A drive 
 of four miles to the east brings the tourist to the ruins of the Chateau 
 Bigot, Beaumanoir, sometlmee also called the Hermitage. These 
 ruins give but a faint idea of the grandeur, extent and secret pass- 
 ages of the original building, which was ereoted by t^e Intotdant 
 Bigot, wfctoee protUgaoy and exttavagnuace were unlimited, and 
 whose rapacity supplied his requirements. Hither with companions 
 as graceless as himself, he was wont to resort, to lnd?jlge in every 
 GKoesa <^ dissipation, and h«re was enacted the tragedy already re- 
 ferred t<^ In conneotkm with the €k>lden ]>og, which resulted In the 
 deatii of Cfamdine, the unhi^py Algonquin maid, and forms one of tlra 
 leading features of Klrby's entrancing historical romance^ >" lie

 besttty, one of thoee Ideal types whose white skin betray their hybrM 
 origin,>-« mixture of European blood with that of the aboriginal 
 raoe. It was Caroline, a child of love, bom on the banks of the Ottawa, 
 a French officer, her sire, while the Algonquin tribe of the Beaver 
 claimed her mother. Struck with the sight of such beauty, Bigot 
 requested her guidance to hie castle, as she must be ftoiiliar with 
 every path of the forest. . . . The Intendant was a married man, but 
 his wife seldom accompanied her lord on his hunting excursious, 
 remaining in the Capital It was soon whispered abroad however, 
 and came to her ears, that somethings more than the pursuit of wild 
 animals attracted him to his country seat. Jealousy is a watchful 
 sentinel, and after making several visits to the castle, she verified 
 her worst fears. ... On the night of the 9nd July, when every in* 
 mate was i»rapped in slumber, a masked perscm rushed upon this 
 " Fair Bosamond," and plunged a dagger to the hilt in her heart. 
 The whole household was alarmed ; search was made, but no clue to 
 the murderer discovered. Many reports were circulated, some tracing 
 the deed to the Intendant's wife, as ahready recorded, others alleging 
 that the avenging mother of the M^iase was the assassin. A mystery, 
 however, to this day surrounds the deed. The victim was buried 
 In the cdlar of the castle and the letter " C " engraved on a flat stone, 
 wtitoh, up to less than half a ccaitury ago, mariied her resting place. 
 The chateau at once fell into disuse and decay, and a dreary solitude 
 now surrounds the dwelling and the tomb of that dark-haired child 
 of the wHderaeas, over which green moss and rank weeds duster 
 profusely* #

 dlcular fall (or the wholo 250 feet of lis loap over the face of the rovk 
 being broken up into white and ttectey foam. Its roar is tremendous 
 and ean sometimes be heard for miles away. The spray that rises 
 from it, would soou drenoh to the skin anybody venturing too near 
 it. In the winter, portions of the spray freeze as they rise, and form 
 an loo oone in the shape of a sugar loaf, which in some seasons ox- 
 i'eeds 190 feet in height. Quebocers then form parties for sliding 
 down the cone in toboggans, -an exciting and exhilarajiing sport. 
 The falls may best be viewed from below, and the tiresome descent 
 to their foot, and yet morn tiresome olimb back again, up a staircase 
 containing nearly four hundred steps, may be avoided by taking the 
 train from Quebei^ to Montmorenol, the railway passing below and 
 close to the falls. This view may also be had when taking the trip 
 to La Bonne Ste. Anne, described below. The drive along the high- 
 way from Quebec to Montmorenoi should be taken on another day. 
 The tourist will then take In the splendid scenery along the way, in- 
 cluding views of the St. Lawrence and Isle of Orleans, of Beauport 
 Lunatic Asylum and its magnificent grounds, and of the ruins of the 
 old Beauport manor house that served as the headquarters of Mont- 
 calm's a*'my in 1780; for, before effecting a landing above Quebec, 
 General Wolfe disembarked his troops on the eastern side of the 
 Montmorenci river, and vainly endoav6ured to dislodge the French 
 from their position, being compelled to retire, however, with several 
 killed and wounded. His account of this disaster, which he dispatch- 
 ed by a special officer to England, is described by the hlstosian 
 Bmc^et as having been written " with such elegance and accuracy as 
 would not have disgraced the pen of a Gesar.'* There is also a 
 splradid view of the river, island, and city from the head of the falla, 
 to which the tourist can drive, while near by is seen the old manor 
 of the Hall family, which a hundred yevn ago was tlie country 
 resideooe in Gmadi^ ofthe late puke ofKent, father ofQueen Victoria,

 There was formerly a suspension bridge over the river at the very 
 brink of the falls, but nearly half a century ago, it broke away from 
 its mooring, and was swept over the cataract, carrying with it an 
 unfortunate farmer and his family with their vehicle. The stone 
 piers of this bridge still remain. The lK)dies of the poor people were 
 never recovered, all objects passing over the falls disappearing in a 
 subterranean cavity worn by the constant dripping of the water for 
 thousands of years. Several suicides have occurred here. 
 
 Nobody should miss seeing the Natural Stei>8, which are atmut a 
 mile above the falls. Th*mare considered by some people to be the 
 grandest feature of Montmorency. Here the river is wildly magnlR* 
 cent. It dashes with the velocity of a mill-race through narrow 
 passes hedged fu by preoipit<><:\s walls of adamantine rook, and anon 
 leaps heedlessly over natural baK'iers, forming in siicoesf4<i^ furious 
 cascades and seething pools. The p<:«eMliar formatif\%''of the rocky 
 banks has given them the title of the Na^tv^jf») Bf^ps. They are the 
 wonder and admiration of all who see them.

 AT A dietftnoe of twenty mUes from Quebec, is the ftur-ftimed shrine 
 of 8te. Aniie de Besuprd, the parish of this name adjolnlnff that 
 of Chateau Bicher. SInoe the year 16B0, pious Oanadlans have 
 resorted to this place from all parts of the country, and by thousands 
 annually, seeking to be cured if the various ills that flesh is heir to. 
 It is claimed that gretkt mlTAolm are wrought here, even as of (Ad»n 
 times, and that the sick are healed, the blind are made to see, the 
 deaf to hear, the lame to walk with ease, and those nigh to death 
 have strength and vigor oono back to them, and that, too. suddenly, 
 and through the intwoession of that once good womf n and now pure 
 soul, the good Ste. Anne^ the Virgin Mary's mother, one of whose 
 linger joint bones is still shown and venerated in the church of the 
 parish in a ghMs case. The sanctity of devotion and the marvels of 
 the miraottk>us permeate the whole atmosphere of Ste. Anne de 
 Beauprd. 
 
 The handsome new church was some few years ago raised by 
 Pope Pius IX to the dignity of abasUloa,and acting under the author- 
 ity of Pope Leo XIII, Cardinal Tasohereau In 1878 solemnly crowned 
 the statue of the satat in her own aanctuary, amid great r^Mdngs. 
 The very railroad thai carries the pilgrims from Quebec to Ste. 
 Anne, has been tolamBly conseerated and blened by the Cardinal, as 
 wefl as the oars by whieh they travri and the looomotives that dxmm 
 them. The baalltQft is one of the finest bhnrohas m the ProvlBos. It

 and splints, piled up eleren stories high, which* have l>een left here 
 b]r their former owners, whom the miraculous Intervention of the 
 Canadian thaumatunro relieved from further necessity for them. 
 The frequency of these miraeles, which are oft-times reported dally 
 during the pUgrlmage season, has made the Canadian Lorotto as 
 celebrated on the American continent as Metro Dame de Lourdes Is 
 in Europe. The shrine Is visited by hundreds and thousands of 
 pilgrims every summer from all parts of the United States, and for 
 their aecommodation, the Bedemptorist Fathers in charge of the 
 church deliver their sermons In Gorman, Italian, Dutch, Flemish and 
 Spanish, as well as in Bnglish and French. 
 
 The wonders wrought here date from the earliest period of the 
 colcHiy's existence. In the first part of the seventeenth century, some 
 Breton fishermen overtaken by a fearful storm, vowed to Ste. Anne 
 to erect a sanctuary In her honor, if she would doign to save them 
 from the twior of tbe sea. They landed safely upon the north bank 
 of the St Lawronoe, and redeemed tholr obligati(»is by building a 
 small wooden ch^Ml, which gave its name to the parish and was the 
 scene of numerous miracles. It was replaced by a largw structure 
 in I860, which, subsequoitly rebuilt and enlarged, finally gave way to 
 the present magnificent church. The Basilica contains not only the 
 relic of Ste. Anne already referred to, but a portion of the rook from 
 the grotto la whieh the Virgin Mary was bom, a handsome chasuble 
 of gold embroidery, presented by Queen Anne of Austria, mother of 
 Lonis XIV and worked largely with her own hands, and a magnifl-

 One flrat oatobes ft g limpse of the French viUaire. It Is sltufttod on 
 the hiffhtauide, and from its top one gets a fine view all around, the 
 city in the dlstftuoe looking very striking and bold, and the Parlla- 
 ment buildings standing out grandly against the clear sky. But the 
 driver hurries on to the settlement of the Indians. The residence of 
 the Ghief Is a point of vantage. It Is the oorreot thing to get out of 
 your carriage and pay jrour respects to this potentate, and look at 
 his house which Is a marvel of cleanliness. He will show his n^edals, 
 and many curiosities if you ask to see them. The lK>rette diapti, 
 which is over one hundred and fifty years old, is well worth a visit. 
 It Is of the same model and of the same dimensions as that of the 
 Santa Oasa, from whence the image of the yirgln,~-a copy of that 
 in the famous sanctuary was sent to the Indians. Charlevoix relates 
 that "nothing Is more affecting than to hear them sing In two cholrb, 
 men on one side, women on the other, prayers and hymns of the 
 church in their own language." The tourist will find intcurest in look- 
 ing at the Indian cottages on the plateau of the falls. These have 
 been laid out, apparently, on no particular design, and a walk ov«r 
 the twenty acres of land' which contain them will occupy only a few 
 moments of time. But |he falls themselves are the principal attrac- 
 tion of this charming drive. They are very well worths long journey 
 over to see. The spot where the foaming waters come tumbling down 
 rocksand atones, and through picturesque gorges. Is certainly wild 
 enough. One can see the cascade as he stands on the little hill, a f^w 
 feet away flrom the inn. But to see the faUs in all their beanty, the 
 tourist must go down the steps which lead to a ravine. Five minutes 
 walk will bring you to a moss-covered rock, and on this sheltered 
 plaoe you may Alt for hours listening to the noisy splaab, and wateh*

 Just above the Indian village is the Chateau d'Eao, where, 
 from A miniature lake formed by a dam aoroea the river, turo- 
 lines of Iron pipe, one SOli^hes and the other 18 inches in diameter, 
 draw off the water supply, with which they serve the city of Quebec. 
 At this point, boats and oanoes may be obtained and tlie river as* 
 eended to its source,~LAke 8t. Charles, through -eight miles of per- 
 fectly fairly navigation, the river gliding most tortuously through a 
 ff^rest wild, mantled over by a dense growUi of spruce and jBr*treea. 
 
 CAPE Bouge is a delightful spot which is passed on the drive out by 
 St. Louis and in by St. Foye road, along which are erected 
 the handsome villa resldenoee of Quebec's leading mendiants, 
 but is well worthy of a special visit and a drive through the pariaii, 
 over a pretty stream that here flows into the St. I«wienoe. 
 
 This drive paeaea through SiUery, a pla<M of great histtwical tn- 
 terei^ wh^ra the Jesuits had an Indian mission house in Hxb mxfy 
 days of the ooiony, and De Halsoaneuve passed his first wlnttr to

 one of the most imposing views of the city and of Cape Diamond ,

 opposite the ferry landing is the joint depot of the Grand Trunk, 
 Interooloniid and Quebec Central railways. A drive should be taken 
 to the new military forts upon the heights above, constructed by the 
 Imperial Government at a cost of over a million of dollars, and on no 
 aooonnt should the tourist foil to visit the Engineer's Camp at St. 
 Jfoeeph de LSvis, whence a magnificent panorama of river, ialani^ ai^

 Just below the church at 8t. Joseph de Levis, which is passed on 
 the way from tho Camp to the riverside, the Int<5rooluuial Ballway 
 oroeses the roadway over an iron bridge. Here, in December. 1890. 
 a whole train was derailed and thrown completely over the embank- 
 ment, resulting in the death of ten passengers and the maltulng of 
 several others. 
 
 Near by is the Government graving dock, a massive piece of 
 masonry which is able to acoomniodattt the largest steamships run- 
 ning to the 8t. Lawrence, being 4M feet long and 100 wide. It well 
 repays a visit, especially when a vessel is docked there, in which case 
 the visitor may descoid into it aod walk right under the keel of one 
 of the m9dem leviathans of the deep. Together with the new tidal 
 and otiier docks at the mouth of the St. Charles, this addition to the 
 facilities for the aeeommodation of shipping in tho port of Quet^iee,

 The poet of the Sierras once said that there were three things 
 in the world which proved, on iuspeetlon, to be not disappointing. 
 One of these was the beautiful and glimmering Bay of Naples, the 
 other WM the Falls €i Niagara, and the third was that great " river 
 of death," as Ba^rd Taylor called the deep, oold stream, the won* 
 di^rful and awe-inspiring Sagueuay. There is no need to describe 
 the. grandeur of the Saguenay, but the tourist who wishes to see a 
 sight which almost surpasses belief, will do well to spend a couple of 
 days in investigating the waters of the lower St. Lawrence and the 
 " Amber Biver " of Joaquin Miller. 
 
 An Englishman of means and leisure, who was here some years 
 ago^ wrote of Quebec and the Saguenay as follows :- 
 
 "A trip up the wonderful Saguenay river from Quebec is itself 
 worth a trip across the Atlantic, to say nothing of the quaint old city 
 of Quebec, and its magnificent approaches. I could pack up my 
 toraps and return home feeling well satisfied with what I have ahready 
 seoa of your country, the dreams of my early youth having bew 
 more than reali^rad. I wish to see nothing finer than the l>ays on tlie 
 St. LawrMMe and Saguenay river or the grandeur of Gape l^rnity 
 Mid Trinity Boelc on the Saguenay. Your country seems to say with 
 the river of grandwir and beauty :—

 Noah's Ark grounded upon the summit of Mount ilrarat, or the fiat 
 had gone forth which first shed created light upcm a world of chaos, 
 the mountains of which these Laurentian hiUs then formed the 
 framework, lifted aloft their hoary heads, white wit'd the snows of a 
 thousand years. There are a number of indications of this condition 
 oi' aflTairs, which forbid any doubt on the subject. t)n the heights 
 of Lorette, nine or ten miles from the city of Quebec, where the line 
 of the Lake St. John BaUway was cut through a heav y sandbank, are 
 found pleistticene deposits of saxicava sand, containing astarte. saxl- 
 cava-mgosa and pecten-OreenlandIca shells in great abundanoe. 
 These are the self-same shells which are to-day found, inhabited by 
 living moUusks, in the cold salt sea which washes the base of Green- 
 land's ioy mountains. Intheghwlal period of our planet's history, 
 there is no doubt that a similar cold salt sea to that ot Labrador and 
 Greenland, covered a great part of this Laurent^aa country, to • 
 height of many hundred feet above the present level of our own St. 
 lAwrenee. A wild country, this, to be traversed by a railway. Few 
 who have not travelled the line of the Lake St. John BaUway, have 
 any real idea of the difficulties encountered in its o<«»8truotion. It

 How a typiffd New Yorker was straok by his first experience of

 Julian Baiph's letters to the New York Sun in January, 18M:— 
 
 " The great granite walls capped and Heeked with snoi^ ; the 
 narrow, curving streets heaped with snow; the hoiMes all fringed 
 with pondmoos icicdes; the trees whose every limb is outlined with

 And this Is Mr. Balfih's doaoription of a scene that every day of 
 tho winter Is enacted on skates In the city rinks :- 
 
 " At the skating rink this afternoon some (rf these pretty natives 
 were waltslnff on skates to tho muslo of the army^band from tha 
 Citadel. They can sicate like telrles. They sweep to and fro Ilka 
 yaohta of msffloal swiftness. They dart over the Ice like birds In the 
 air, and they spin and wheel and pirouette and trace ftocy. patterns 
 on the Ice, so that no onlooker can perceive a particle of exertton or 
 explanation of the mystery how they manage to be so airy, so skil- 
 ful, or so graceful. Bui, it is when they wafts that they become moat 
 bewitching. The backward whirl and the cross-step, and the con- 
 stant repetition of the inner and the outer roll give such a melodiotta 
 swing to their skfarta that no Eoglish now at hand In Quebec is fit to 
 convey theefteet. Their bodies glide now this side and nowthatslde.
