but the constant succession of appalling casualties during the last few years, combined with the uneasiness caused by the reappearance of cholera and the prevailing uncertainty of the political horizons, native and foreign, somewhat deaden the shock which the news of 80 sudden and wholesale a destruction of human life, and so wide-reaching a circle of family losses, must necessarily cause throughout the civilized world.\u2018Something in the nature of a miniature earthquake occurred here a few days ago, on the Place de le Concorde, through the bursting of the water-main.The asphalte was instantaneously blown up for a dis tance of 60 feet,and a large lake was formed simultaneously in the middle of the Place, to the utter amazement and bewilderment of a number of pedestrians who were crossing it, and who suddenly found themselves in the midst of an expanse of water,through which they were compelled to wade.The closing of the parliamentary session will once more reduce this city to the metaphorical desert, with grass growing in its streets, to which tne return of the month of August is conventionally sap- posed to bring dow its glories.ln point of fact, though the wealthy idlers go away, the town remains as full and bustling as ever, the places of those who leave, being filled by those who arrive.Not only foreign visitors continue to flock into the « European Caravanserai,\u201d but hosts of provincials come hither at this season, to take advantage of the lower rates prevailing after the close of *\u201c the season,\u201d and to do their shopping at THE GREAT DRAPERY ESTABLISHMENTS which will now be clearing off their stocks at reduced prices.The various places of public amusement are catering for these new-comers ; the Chatelet theatre, so renowned for its epec- tacular triumphs,surpassing itself as well as outshining 1ts rivals with 8*¢ revival\u201d of the well known fairy drama, Peau d\u2019Ane,which is, in fact, rather a new creation grafted on thé good old fairy tale of Perrault.The lay, as just brought out, is a new combination of magnificent scenery, startling stage effects, droll fancies, and dazzling accompaniments, making 1t a wonder in its way.When ¢ Doinkey-Skin\u201d was first brought out there were but ten tableaux to the piece ; at the last revival of the popular tale there were twenty tab- eaux; at the present one, there are thirty, all marvellously beautiful and felling.What remains of the original piece is al- Taost imperceptible, and the basis of it is antomime business of the grand old Engish school, executed by an incomparable troupe of English clowns.Setting aside the comic and romantic elements of MODERN SPECTACULAR DRAMAS, these are more instructive than many scientific lectures.Peau d'Ane may be eaid through the use made of the electric light, of oxhydric and other gases, of mechanical contrivances and optical illusions, to offer an almost complete training in physieal science, with amazement and laughter thrown in.Each succeeding fairy-piece surpasses its predecessor, for the simple reason that it takes advantage of the dis coveries and adaptions of science that huve been arrived at since the time of its predecessor\u2019s production.The present feerie is therefore as superior to the Mille ef une Nuits which was the great success of the Chatelet theatre, as that magnificent spectacle was superior to Pied de Mouton, which, when it appeared, was supposed to have attained the limits of scenic possibilities.Formerly, iu every such piece, there was one transcendent * transformation scene ;\u201d in Peau d\u2019 Ane, as now brought out, there are atleast a dozen, appropriate ly styled \u2018\u2018 apotheases,\u201d and in each of which several hundred persons are grouped upon the stage.THE GRAND OPERA, though subsidized by the State, is less admirably managed in point of spectacular effect, than is the Chatelet, and its stage is no larger.M.Justamant, the ballet master of the spirited establishment on the banks of the Seine, has taken a hint from the Italian composers of Excelsior, (the great success of that new attraction, the Eden Theatre), and males his dancers use their arms, heads, bnsts, and every feature, as well as their legs and feet, to accompany the music.The light, the variegated costumes, the elegance with which these are worn, the grace they impart to their wearers, and the scenery of which they form part, cause the new piece to surpass the most glowing descriptions of oriental wonders.o description can convey any adequate idea of this new scenic triumph.Peau d\u2019Ane, as now played, has 70 scenic transformations, any one of which would ensure the success of the play.In striking constrast with the beauty, grace, and splendor of the piece itself, are the rough and tumble make-up, the hurly-burly goings on, the side-splitting comicalities, the bewildering appearances, disappearances, re-appear ances, and fresh disappearances, the puzzling rapidity of kicks, cuffs, somersets, high-flights, and daring leaps from the jndescribable, incomparable, inimitable Lauri troupe.The amount of hard work these marvellous pantomimists go through in the space of an hour and a balf, is incomprehensible, and must be seen to be believed.How they will hold out through the run of four or five hundred nights, which Peau d\u2019Ane is sure to achieve, is best known to themselves.Young Lauri, who plays the part of the monkey, isa phenomenon of agility, muscular strength, and physical endurance.Imagine a being formed of india-rubber and steel springs, and animated with an over-flowing abundance of mirth, mischief, and drollery ; and you will have some slight notion of the qualifications of Lauri junior as an amuser.He is marvellously supported by his English comrades ; and this unique troupe has consequently given their French audiences a notion of English fancy and invention, in the matter of drollery, of which even those who had seen the Han- lon-Lees had no previous conception.The Hungarians who came over to take art in the Republican fete of the 15th of uly, left Paris just too soon to see this marvel triumph of scientific, artistic, and romantic ingenuity and skill.Their time, however, was fully and [apparently] agreeably occupied ; and after, being feasted, shown the'lions, excurionised and speechified to their hearts\u2019 content, they offered a farewell banquet to their entertainers, and have gone back to Hungary, in a cloud of fraternal and international.enthusiasm probably more superficial than solid.; In curious contrast with the ceremonious and civilised sights and doings in the interior of this capital, is the spectacle afforded by the party of FOURTEEN ARANCANIANS \u2014men, women, and children\u2014who have just arrived in the]Gardens of the Acclimation Society, where they are quartered at the 37th degree of.S.latitude, between Chili and Patagonia.The Chilians claim sovereignity over the Arancanians, but the latter have practically maintained their independence.Hardy, brave, and warlike, they live by pastoral pursuits, and are said to be very friendly with Europeans who visit their country.The party now being gazed at by the visitors to the famous Gardens in the Bois de Bonlogne are gwarthy, but less dark than the Cingalese, and far more strongly built.The men are above the ordinary height, broad-shouldered, and well proportioned; the women, though shorter, passess well- knit frames,and are not ill-looking, though none of them could be called pleasing from the European point of view.They seem healthy, good-tempered ,and rather proud of the interest they excite.The men have nothing on their heads but their black hair ; \u201cbut the ladies wear a curious and not unbecoming headdress of coloured beads ; two of them also sporting a sort of diadem composed of silver coins of various currencies, English shillings and French francs among the number.The men, like the women, wear huge flat silver earrings, dangling down to their shoulders; a couple of broad silver plates are worn on their chest,over multitudinous strings of colored beads, and broad silver bracelets.Both sexes wear DINGY STRIPED ROBES, loose, and descending to the ankles, more like horse-rugs than human garments ; all are barefoot, their feet, like their hands, being small and well-shaped.When not soliciting coppers from their visitors, or critically examining the ladies\u2019 dresses, the women cook,or execute a rode embroidery, in which the men sometimes help them.The men amuse themselves with a rude ;musical instrument 15 feet long, supported on two spears, the sounds produced agreeably recalling those of the notorious French horn.The men, like all their countrymen, are splendid horsemen, and have hitherto been allowed to show off their skill in the paddock in which they are quartered, but they used their steeds so roughly that, a few days ago, this part of their performances was suppressed, the Bigwigs of the Society not caring to subject their fine horses to such violent treat ment.They are great eaters of meat and drink wine and spirits in any quantity they can manage to obtain.These aborogines, of whose race and country little is known to outsiders, are the ex-subjects of the Perigueux notary, M.Orelie-Antoine de Touneins, who became King of Arancania, as Orelie 1, a title to which he appears to have been justly entitled, though he was commonly regarded as a mere adventurer at the time.After practising for some years as an attorney in his native town, he went out to Arancania and acquired such influence there that the chiefs ma:ie him their ruler in 1861.He set to work TO CIVILISE HIS SUBJECTS after the European model, gave them a constitution copied from that of France and tried to enter into diplomatie relations with the latter.But the French sense of the ridiculous was too strong for the accep-, tance of the new sovereign.From the emperor downward, Orelie I.was an object of laughter.He failed to gain the support of his native land, and Chili soon made?war on him.Orelie I.raised au armv of 40,000 men ; he was captured by the Cuilian cavalry and thrown into prison.He made his escape, was re-captured a few days later, and shut up as a lunatic.Escaping again, he returned to Frauce, only to \"be prosecuted as a swindler, for trying to raise money by falsely describing himself as King of Arancania.\u201d The Correctional Tribunal of Paris, however, recognised his right to the title, and quashed the proceedings.The ex-poten- tate wrotea book and lectured on Arancania, his reign, and his projects.After vain attempts to interest his countrymen in his projects,the unfortunate adventurer, \u2014a mun of talent, nerve, and excellent intentions\u2014sank into ill-health, utter poverty, and died in a hospital of Bordeauxfrom which his friend, the Archbishop of Bordeaux, apprised to late of his presence and misery, came {o release him just as he died.A sad and pititul ending of a project not without its grandeur and possible usefulness, but that failed from the com- Bination of adverse circumstances and influences summed up in the popular expression, * a run of ill-luck.\u201d M.DE LESSEPS, who, professes to be enchanted at the repudiation of the provisional arrangement with England, and the consequent recovery of freedom of action by himself and the existing Suez Canal Company, has just peceived thé Grand Cordon of the Order of the Lion and the Sun, recently conferred on him by the Shah of Persia.» KAHOKA, Mo., Feb.9, 1880.I purchased five bottles of your Ho Bi tters of Bishop & Co.last fall, for my daughter, and am well pleased with the Bitters.They did her more good than all the medicine she has taken for slx years.WM.T.MCCLURE.The above is from a very reliable ta mer, whose daughter was in poor health for seven or eight years, and could obtain no relief un- till she usedHop Bitters, She is now in as good health as any person in the country.We have a large sale, and they are making remarkable cures.W.H.BISHOP & CO.A CARD.To all who are suffering from the errors and indiscretions of youth, nervous weakness, early decay, loss of manhood,&c.,I will send a recipe that will cure you, FREE OF CHARGE This great remedy was discovered by a missionary in South America.Send a self-ad- dressed envelope to the REv.Josgpa I.IN- MAN, Station D, New York City.Re TTR NORTH SHORE RAILWAY.Commencing on MONDAY, JULY 2nd, 1883, Trains will run as follows :\u2014 STATIONS.Leave Montreal for 9.00 am {4.00 pmi.Arrive at Quebec.13.40 Leave Quebec for Mon TEAÏ.220 000000000000 9.00 Arrive at Montreal.3.40 Leave Quebec for Three Rivers.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026esdfserencnafe encours 5.Arrive at Three Rivers|.cere Leave Three Rivers for Quebec.oven wesfresseses .Arrive at Quebec.Leave Montreal for St.Felix de Valols.a.lois for Montreal.Arrive at Montreal.l.Magnificent Palace Cars on the two Express Trains.Sunday Trains leave Montreal and Quebec at4 p.m.air Trains run by Montreal Timen connection wi e Grand T Canada Atlantic Railways runk and GENERAL OFFICES\u2014QUEBEC.TICKET OFFCES: 43 St.James street, Windsor Hotel, MONTREAL.Opposite St.Louis Hotel, QUEBEC, A.DAVIS, Superintendent, July 4 » Baperintendeis \u201c Green Mountain Route.\u201d Four Express Trains daily to New York wite Pullman and Wagner Sleeping Cars attached.Three Express Trains daily to Boston with Pullman's Elogant Parlour and Sleeping Car attached.TRAINS LEAVE MONTREAL.7.15 a.m: \u2014Day Express tor Troy, Albany New York, Springfield and Boston via Fitehburg.Also to Waterlooaus 5.40 p.m.8,00 a.m.White Mountain Express arriving Moutpelier 12.60 noon, Wells river 3.10 p.m and Kabyans 5.40 p m.Limited Express for Boston, v* Concord, Manchester, Nashua and Lowell, arriving in Boston at 6.10 p.m., New London at 9.55 p.m., and New York via W R, Junction and Springfield at 11.3\" p.m.This train makes connection at Washua for Worcester, arrivingat 7.30 p.m.5.00 p.m.\u2014Night Express for New York,via Troy, arriving in New York at 6.45 the next morning.Also to Waterloo and Magog.7.30 p.m.\u2014Night Ex-ress for Bosteu, ax riving via Lowell, 8.30 a.m., or via F tehbarg 9.00 a.m.for Greentield., Northampton, Holyokeand Springfield, witheut change;

Bay\u201d until it reaches the St.Lawrence it is oftener from ove and & half to two miles wide.The tide runs up as high as a place called Terre Rompue.This spot is 83 miles from the mouth of the Saguenay and about 35 from the Lake ; the rapids and cascades coming to an end after à succession of unexual leaps.As to the course of the Saguenay from Terre Rompue to the St.Lawrence it is extremely rapid and the ebb of the tide is perceptible for several miles across the latter river, often beingso strong as to divert ships from their course.The river Saguenay runs through a profound abyss, in places 1,000 feet in depth, cut in the solid granite, through enormous mountainous masses, by a fearful earthquake thousands of years ago, as testified by geological evidence ; the remarkable appearance of the soil ; the disturbed face of the country, as though from repeated upheavings; here soil and there rock, somewhat resembling the surface of the ocean during a tempest, interspersed, as it is with ravines 100, 200,33)0 feet deep, the whole resulting from some sudden disturbance in the bowels of the earth, and by the subsequent warring of the elements.There are few who journey along the Saguenay that do not experience a feeling of awe, of mysterious wonder, at the aspect of this sombre river and of its formidable (perilous) banks ; at the hour when the deepening twilight envelops them ; when the steamboat, laden with wonderin touriste, rendered suddenly silent, charmed and appalled, proceeds slowly towards its mouth which seems to be guarded with a menacing (threatening) front of lowering cliffs, from whence COME TO BE OVERWHELMED the lgst rays of daylight.Each tree- branch trembling in the evening breeze resembles a frowning pediment with its shadow projecting far over the waves of the St.Lawrence itself.That broad, dark mantle descending from the bristlin heigits still echoing with the distant rol of thunder, fills the soul with a terror which, without doubt the imagination in: tensifies by peopling it with a troupe of frightful visions.The two ranges of mountains which enclose as if embracing this almost unfathomable river appear to be hurling defiance at one another across aa impassable abyss.The traveller feels as viewing one of the last imprints of chaos, of a last effort of a rough model of a formation staid in its course, which having become irritated at its inability to complete itself now waits the work, slow but sure of time, which sets an hour for the completion of all that exists.There is a species of delirum 1n this creation.Mountains appear to have been thrown there at hap-hazard resembling a terrific battle in the,midst of which the combatants had suddenly become stationary as though thunderstruck.In this shapless mass one breathes as if trembling from a heavy shock of earthquake, and doubtless many a century will yet elapse without in any way robbing this spot of ,its tragic horror; everything quivers from the crash, from the fury of the elements suddenly stopped in their flight, and the spectator feels, on penetrating this immovable chaos, as a mere atom, and is seized with a secret dread of being engulfed there never to return.It appears as though a Divine hand full of anger had suddenly fallen on these enormous rocks and rent them asunder, with a frightful crash, to make a passage for a furious torrent.When the Saguenay, till till then unknown on the world\u2019s chart, recipitated itself into this gigantic ravine, ,000 feet in depth, when it entered for the first time into this upheaved bed, where gulfs are torn asunder, it must have occurred with a noise that made the earth tremble afar.It must have plunged in bounding, roaring with the sound of a chasim filled with confusion, and its waters during long, many long years, scaled, without doubt, tearful summits before at length reaching A \u2018SAFE AND TRANQUIL LEVEL.The River Saguenay, as we have seen, flows into the River St.Lawrence after following a course of about 112 miles since its issue from Lake St.John.This course is subject to some deviations, thanks to the frequency of jutting rocks which, projecting into the river, turn it aside, and by obstructing it increases its ra- pudity, At its mouth, defended by two points, the one on the western side called \u2018 Pointe aux Bouleaux\u201d (Birch Point), the other on the western side « Pointe aux Vaches\u201d (Cow Point) bottom has never been found, says Mr.Bouchette in his typographical dictionary of the Province, although it has been sounded to a depth of 130 fathoms ; 780 feet, But this is a mistake, unfortunately widely believed since the publication of that excellent work.The souncings made in 1830 by Captain Bayfield.cf the Royal Navy of England, have, iti} true, corrected the exaggerated reports which attributed to the River Saguenay a depth of 1,500, 1,800 and even 2,000 feet in more than one spot, but the mass of the public still cling to this false notion which has to-day become a sort of tradition.They have continued, notwithstanding the scientific evidence to the contrary, to believe that the Saguenay is unfathomable.Now, Captain Bayfield\u2019s chart shows that, at even the mouth of the Saguenay, where, accordin to common idea, bottom could not be foun at 340 fathoms, the greatest depth of water does not exceed 76 fathoms, that it gradually increases to 88, 100 aud 108 fathoms jn a distance of 3 or 4 miles up the river until it reaches its greatest death, 147 fathoms, between Passe Pierre\u201d (Peters Channel) and St.Stephen\u2019s Bay, above 5 miles from Tadousac.As for the rest THE DEPTH OF THE SAGUENAY is extremely variable, changing abruptly ; in places it does not exceed 10 and a short distances farther it reaches 80 and 100 fathoms and even more.The spot where the depth is most uniform is below Cape Eternity and ¢ Descente de Femme,\u201d (Woman\u2019s Descent), where niore than once it reaches 145 and is nowhere less than 100 fathoms.Cape Eternity is 39 and ¢ Descente de Femme\u201d is about 47 miles from the mouth of the Saguenay.From Birch Point and jutting out into the river for a distance of two miles is a reef of rocks in the shape of a halt moon open to the east.In the spring floods they are entirely covered, but the water ia always in a state of agitation ; at the extremity of these rocks is a little island of sand which is never snbmerged; this lsland and the rocks form what are known as \u201cSwallow Point\u201d and \u201cSwallow Reef.\u201d A large indentation, hollowed out of the bank, Between ¢ Swallow Point\u201d and ¢ Black Point,\u201d which i= opposite Tadousac, forms St.Catherine\u2019s Bay, about two miles wide and.varying from 10 to 66 fathoms in depth.On the opposite side of the mouth of the Saguenay is *\u201c Cow Point,\u201d the name being derived from the walrus (sea-cow) which formerly fregnented theze latitudes and was hunted bythe Basques.It is the moet southerly portion of a sand bank washed up by the 8t.Lawrence, and upon it stands to-day the village of Tadousac.This Point and Birch Point are covered with an extremely fertile sol composed of enormous banks of clay from 30 to 40 feet deep on the latter and ranges as high as 200 feet in the former.This clay is re markably fine and contains a considerable quantity of lime and a little iron.It has the property of crumbling in water like quick-lime and would form an excellent manure for marshy lands.Behind ¢ Cow Point,\u201d immediately on passing the mouth of the Saguenay, TADOUSAC HARBOR comes into view.This harbor is formed by the point of the little island which separates it from the Saguenay on the south-west and from the mainland on the north-east ; its width is about one-third of a mile and its depth about half a mileat low tide.It is very safe and protected by the surrounding mountains from most of the winds which prevail in the St.Lawrence.The tide rises to a height of 21 feet; in winter tte ice forms later®and in spring disappears earlier than at Quebec, owing to the depth of the water which is much salter here than on the opposite or south shore of the St.Lawrence, also from the prevalence of the north-west winds, which drives to the other side the floating ice collecting at the mouth of fresh water rivers.It may here be remarked that the north-east and and north-west are almost the only winds felt in the river Saguenay ; the latter above all blows at times with extreme violence.As to the other winds they are scarcely perceptible.On leaving Tadousac harbor, roundin the argillaceous precipice of ¢ Cow Point,\u201d and skirting the banks of the river\u2019; a small bay, at the bottom of which runs the river of \u201c Buade Mill,\u201d about three miles from Tadoussac, is speedily reached.At the foot of this bay lies the famous ¢ Marble Bank,\u201d of which so much has been written and said.This bank ie in an almost vertical position and rises to a height of 150 feet.It is in immediate proximity to Syenite Gneiss,\u201d and some times mixes with it, but is generally pure and solid.\u201c\u2018It is possible at a small expense to quarry thousands of tons of it,\u201d says a traveller who examined this bank in'1826.¢1It is possible, I think, to take out perfect blocks 15 and 20 feet in height, which would serve to ornament buildings; but, it is not susceptible of a very fine polish\u2019; however, it is worth the trouble of quarrying.\u201d : The DISCOVERY OF MARBLE at the ** Buade Mill\u201d is not of recent date.In 1726 Charlevoix anchored here in the Chaman, a vessel of the French Royal Navy, and landed at the small brook which runs at the foot into the bay.It is to the » Ie re.1er ld he k, ve ver ntee rent at ere.best ased ased ches ble, caps ape rate 14- void Îled, ated e to hes, rked ard- alue, gold le by don, lish 0 to ieces stock piges.Sy 8c.0, to 175 mY Nent.entes for street.191 a 7 A ot wv e \u201cTHE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE THURSDAY, AUGUST 16 ee À SUMMER'S JAUNT \"EN BAS.Montreal to Halifax by the Inter-Colonial.The Changes Which a Half-Century Has Wrought.(WRITTEN FOR THR HSRALD.) Having lately retrned from a somewhat extended tour in Nowa Scotia and parts adjacent, where 1 have had the advantage of penetrating \u2018 into the bowels of tue land,\u201d in out of the way places, seldom visited by the ordinary tourist, it struck me perhaps, that a tew notes on this trip, written currente calamo, might interest or amuse some of your numerous readers, even should there be nothing ¢ rich or rare \u201d therein.To begin at the beginning then, (and not like te * story, of the cat and fiddle, which began and broke off in the middle\u201d) I found myself one Friday evening, on board a Pullman car, at the Bonaventure station.Although there were three cars on, it was a difficult matter to find even standing room in any of them.Lucky was he who had his Pullman car ticket in his pocket.The usual annual exodus to the seaside was in full swing, with a powerful contingent of infantry.The latter throughout the night, like the Cherubim and Sera phim, ¢ continually did cry.\u201d It wasa curiosity, ghough it caused many delays, to nol the hegps of impediméenta disgorged frjin the baggage cars, at each seaside station en route, until Metis was reached, where the last contingent was left behind, and the through travellers had quiet, comparative peace, and comfort.The journey dowe,by river and gulf shore, was beautiful emoeqdingly,a continued rising of the curtain on something new and varied.This lasted until we commenced to ascend the height of land that separates the waters flowing into the guif from those that find their way into the Bay of Chaleur, where we plunged at once into the wilderness.And a wilderness it is likely to remain, if one might judge from the sparse cultivation.that fringed its onder, edge.Stunted hay crops on a poor, sandy soil,\u2014oats coming into ear scarcely a foot high,\u2014not by any means a \u2018lan! to tickle witha hoe and make laugh with a harvest.\u201d And then I thought me of the long, dreary eight months winter on those black and burren uplands, and wondered little why \u2018people should look towards the setting sun and the fertile laads lying in that direction.REACHING THE SUMMIT we found ourselves running for nearly thirty miles along the shores of the beautiful Metapedia Lake.Then down the valley of the Metapedia, where its waters find an outlet by a river of that name, famed for its salmon fishing\u2014a fact fully emphasize: to us, as we whirled by them, at the sight of the many picturesque fishing cottages located on the banks of the winding river.Notable amongst these is the one owned by Mr.George Stephen of, the Pacific syndicate, shortly before oceu- pied bv the Princess.The cottage is most beautifully situated on a slightly raiced terrace, that gives its inmates a magnificent panorama of the flowing river in all its devious winding between softy hills crowned with their hanging woods.The railway follows closely the \"banks of the river, which it has to cross several times in all its crooks and turns.The curves of the road are many and some of them sharp and sudden.e ran down the valley from the height of land at racing speed, running ninety miles in two hours.We had got an hour and a half behind time, owing to our many delays at the different sea-side stations ; so the driver, to make up tor the leeway, Jet the ou horse rip, aud Le went at a stunning pace.I did not lalf like it; the Pullman oscillated so going round tie curves, and I had heard of such things as cars jumping the track.I was not, therefore, sorry at reaching the pretty little village of Metapedia just as the shades of evening gathered in.ONE MELANCHOLY SPOT was pointed out to me by a lady in the train as we rushed down the valley.This was a solitary grave that stosd in a small clearing by tlie railway\u2014enclosed by a wooden paling, a small black wooden cross within the enclosure.Its story was this, ag narrated to me by the lady who had directed my attention to it: There lay the body of the wife of one of the engineers of the road ut the time of its coustruction.She had come out to join her Husband and had caught the small-pox.Fear of the tell disease drove every one away, and she died almost unattended, excepting by her husband, who had some diffienity in getting assistance enough to bury her.What asad and touching memorial in the heart of that lone wilderness! \"In due time Campbelton was reached, where supper awaited us, not at all unacceptable after our long day\u2019s ride.The hungry travellers revelled here in some most delicions salmon, fresh from the water, no more like, in taste and flavor, the galmon one gets at a distance from the sea- -side than the travelled peach or orange \u2018are like those one gathers ripe from the overhanging branches, insite.Thereisa richness and a fullness in the tlavor of the fish that it loses after a long land carriage ina half frozen state.It is only by the gea-side that one finds those rich creamy .curds between the flakes of flesh so much prized by conneisseurs and epicures.After an ample supper fully enjoyed, there was nothing further to ve done than to turn in, and trust to the driver and his good engine during the watches of the night.Day light found us far into Nova Scotia, until we pulled up AT TRURO FOR BREAKFAST.This thriving looking town seems to be situated in the midst of a good agricultural country, the crops looking well aud abundant.But what can I say of the country, as we near Halifax.Sterile beyond compare! Rocks, with a boulder strewn surface! Lakes innumerable, skirted by stony.hills, clothed with a stunted growth of scrubby spruce, and birch! What prospect of any fruitful cultivation of such a country can there be?None whatever.And this characterises that part of it, to the very portals of Halifax, and its immediate vicinity.As you wind round that magnificent land locked harbor, Bedford Basin, it is still through a rough country, \u2018of broken stony hills.It is true that at the head of the basin, and along its shores, one sees neat villas, in their trim gardens, \u201c oages in the desert.\u201d But these are the products of wealth and ease.Fancy the settler whose sole wealth is the axe on his shoulder, conquering a subsistence from 80 inhospitable a soil ! Ch AMM a a About ten o\u2019clock on Sund:y morning, | charms, and they have many, have that we reached HALIFAX, and shortly after I found myself comfort- ablv ensconced at the Halifax Hotel.Quict and old fashioned, it keeps on the even tenor of its way, undisturbed by visions of palatial caranvansaries, like our Windsor for instance, where is to be found every comfort and luxury for the well filled purse bien entendu.The first thing that strikes a stranger on arriving at Halitax, are the old fashioned lumbering vehicles that ply for hire there.\u2018l'hey are something of a cross, I think, betwixt the Roman quadirga and a British war chariot, drawn by two horses.On my asking my Jehu why they could not have neat, handy, one horse carriages, like our Montreal oues, that will take you any where in the city for a quarter, his answer was characteristic, as he told me with a grave face, \u201cOur people would not use them.\u201d This reminded me of the reply of Alphonse Karr to a friend, who told him that he heard that trutfles were going to Le ecarce that year.Bah, mon ami, that is a report that has been circulated by the Turkeys.\u201d May I Le permitted to say here that I first visited Halifax forty-nine years before, in 1834, when I went there with m regiment.The place was, therefore, full of ghosts to me.They met me atthe street corners.They looked out on me from many windows.It was the memory of former days.¢ They roiled before me with all their deeds.\u201d I found very little change in the old part of the city.The wooden houses, of which it is principally composed, looked as dingy as ever.wonder huw a town so built has escaped with impunity for so long from that besom of destruction that has swept away 80 many of its neighbors.But if one wants to see change and improvement, one must look for it toward POINT PLEASANT, where a new and beautiful city has sprung up.Fifty years ago, the time to which refer, there was hardly a house beyond the present Spring Garden road.The beautiful public garden, unequalled in the Dominion, was them a desolate treeless common, the receptacle for the city\u2019s rubbish.The artificial lake thereun, on which now float majestic swans, white and black, with fancy water-fowl innumerable, was a dirty pond, dear to the town boys for winter skating.The lovely Point Pleasant Park was then a mere wild wood.Certainly the civic authorities of Halifax deserve credit for what they have done in the way of ¢ plea- saunces\u201d for their people.Whilst I was there they were placing in position two beautiful iron summer honses, presented to the city Ly-Sir William Young.These were manu'acturel in Glasgow, brought out in piece-, and were being placed where they commanded unrivalled points of view.The Dominion Government could not do better than fullow suit and order one for the Parliamentary grouv:ls, to be placed where the flagstatf now is.Su thought the writer the other day when at Ottawa, and he looked npn tre old sentry box erected by Col.Moore when O tawa was By-town, and which still ornaments (hardly) that classic spot.THE CITADEL, whose foundations were being laid in 1834, and for the excavation of whose ditches our regiment furnishel many working parties, is now a completed fact and dominates the city.As I wandered round its walls how well I remembered its first rudiments.I was rather disappointed with it.Tt was not kept in that trim, neat order that works of that kind usually are.It had an untidy, unkempt appearance.The edge of the emlrasures and the ramparts generally were rough and unsightly, whilst lying in the ditch was a quantity of cut stone, the refuse of its building material.Nor did it= armament come up to my expectations.I saw nothing heavier than 7 ton guns._ Not so was it with Fort Ogilvy at Point Pleasant, where everything was in apple- pie order.Ramparts and embrasures, neat and clean cut\u2014not a blade of grass growing, where it had no business to grow\u2014the large 7 and 10 ton guns shining with coats of fresh lacquer.The traversing carriages for the suns, marvels of mechanical construction and adaptation of brass and iron, shining with polish and paint.It wa.the beau ideal of whata tort of that kina should be.I was to have visited George\u2019s Island, where there are 18 ton guns mounted, and to lave seen the torpedo establishment there.But having left this for the last day of my stay, the weather proved so unpropitious as to disappoint me, and I had to leave the same evening without seeing them.This was the more unfortunate, as I had put off my visit to the flagship for the same day, and the occasion was also lost.She has, I was told, à very heavy armament, and is, by all accounts, a ship well worth seeing.Artillerists complain that the armament for the Halifax forts is not heavy enough, and would like to bave there some of those monster guns that we hear so much about.Anyway, an enemy trying to enter Halifax Harvor, as it is now protected, with the assistance of ita torpedo arrangements, would I should imagine meet with a particularly mauvais quart d'heure.f I was disappointed in this respect, I was greatly interested in another, being permitted to see the results of a very curious and novel invention, of a very able officer of the Royal Engineers, now stationed at Halifax.\u2018These were INSTANTANEOUS PHOTOGRAPHS of the city, taken from a stationary balloon.Bya very ingenious coutrivance, manipulated fram below, à small port fire burns a string, which releases a slide, with the result of an instant picture of all below.No plan drawn can be so perfect and complete.Houses, streets, people walking, horses anu carriages driving\u2014nothing is missed.If the roufs could only be removed for an instant, as they were for the beuefit of Le Sage\u2019s \u201c diable boiteux\u201d over the sleeping city of Madrid, would not the \u201c dove cotes of Corioli be somewhat flutiered\u201d

I shall never forget what you have said to-day.Let us be united.Let us cherish each other [aimons nous bien] for the sake of the Republic.\u201d Should this reconciliation prove durable, it would be a fact of no small importance in the inter nal politics of France, aud very materially strengthen the Opportunist party by the infusion in it of the uew and fresher blood of the Radicals and by winning over to it 80 able a speaker and so iufluential a leader as Dr.Clemenceau.It would place Dr.Clemenceau at the head of a lar party commanding a majority in the Chamber, apd make him a formidable rival to the Moderate party, represented by M.Jules Ferry and M.Waldeck-Rous- seau.MOTHERS !

but the constant succession of appalling casualties during the last few years, combined with the uneasiness caused by the reappearance of cholera and the prevailing uncertainty of the political horizons, native and foreign, somewhat deaden the shock which the news of 80 sudden and wholesale a destruction of human life, and so wide-reaching a circle of family losses, must necessarily cause throughout the civilized world.\u2018Something in the nature of a miniature earthquake occurred here a few days ago, on the Place de le Concorde, through the bursting of the water-main.The asphalte was instantaneously blown up for a dis tance of 60 feet,and a large lake was formed simultaneously in the middle of the Place, to the utter amazement and bewilderment of a number of pedestrians who were crossing it, and who suddenly found themselves in the midst of an expanse of water,through which they were compelled to wade.The closing of the parliamentary session will once more reduce this city to the metaphorical desert, with grass growing in its streets, to which tne return of the month of August is conventionally sap- posed to bring dow its glories.ln point of fact, though the wealthy idlers go away, the town remains as full and bustling as ever, the places of those who leave, being filled by those who arrive.Not only foreign visitors continue to flock into the « European Caravanserai,\u201d but hosts of provincials come hither at this season, to take advantage of the lower rates prevailing after the close of *\u201c the season,\u201d and to do their shopping at THE GREAT DRAPERY ESTABLISHMENTS which will now be clearing off their stocks at reduced prices.The various places of public amusement are catering for these new-comers ; the Chatelet theatre, so renowned for its epec- tacular triumphs,surpassing itself as well as outshining 1ts rivals with 8*¢ revival\u201d of the well known fairy drama, Peau d\u2019Ane,which is, in fact, rather a new creation grafted on thé good old fairy tale of Perrault.The lay, as just brought out, is a new combination of magnificent scenery, startling stage effects, droll fancies, and dazzling accompaniments, making 1t a wonder in its way.When ¢ Doinkey-Skin\u201d was first brought out there were but ten tableaux to the piece ; at the last revival of the popular tale there were twenty tab- eaux; at the present one, there are thirty, all marvellously beautiful and felling.What remains of the original piece is al- Taost imperceptible, and the basis of it is antomime business of the grand old Engish school, executed by an incomparable troupe of English clowns.Setting aside the comic and romantic elements of MODERN SPECTACULAR DRAMAS, these are more instructive than many scientific lectures.Peau d'Ane may be eaid through the use made of the electric light, of oxhydric and other gases, of mechanical contrivances and optical illusions, to offer an almost complete training in physieal science, with amazement and laughter thrown in.Each succeeding fairy-piece surpasses its predecessor, for the simple reason that it takes advantage of the dis coveries and adaptions of science that huve been arrived at since the time of its predecessor\u2019s production.The present feerie is therefore as superior to the Mille ef une Nuits which was the great success of the Chatelet theatre, as that magnificent spectacle was superior to Pied de Mouton, which, when it appeared, was supposed to have attained the limits of scenic possibilities.Formerly, iu every such piece, there was one transcendent * transformation scene ;\u201d in Peau d\u2019 Ane, as now brought out, there are atleast a dozen, appropriate ly styled \u2018\u2018 apotheases,\u201d and in each of which several hundred persons are grouped upon the stage.THE GRAND OPERA, though subsidized by the State, is less admirably managed in point of spectacular effect, than is the Chatelet, and its stage is no larger.M.Justamant, the ballet master of the spirited establishment on the banks of the Seine, has taken a hint from the Italian composers of Excelsior, (the great success of that new attraction, the Eden Theatre), and males his dancers use their arms, heads, bnsts, and every feature, as well as their legs and feet, to accompany the music.The light, the variegated costumes, the elegance with which these are worn, the grace they impart to their wearers, and the scenery of which they form part, cause the new piece to surpass the most glowing descriptions of oriental wonders.o description can convey any adequate idea of this new scenic triumph.Peau d\u2019Ane, as now played, has 70 scenic transformations, any one of which would ensure the success of the play.In striking constrast with the beauty, grace, and splendor of the piece itself, are the rough and tumble make-up, the hurly-burly goings on, the side-splitting comicalities, the bewildering appearances, disappearances, re-appear ances, and fresh disappearances, the puzzling rapidity of kicks, cuffs, somersets, high-flights, and daring leaps from the jndescribable, incomparable, inimitable Lauri troupe.The amount of hard work these marvellous pantomimists go through in the space of an hour and a balf, is incomprehensible, and must be seen to be believed.How they will hold out through the run of four or five hundred nights, which Peau d\u2019Ane is sure to achieve, is best known to themselves.Young Lauri, who plays the part of the monkey, isa phenomenon of agility, muscular strength, and physical endurance.Imagine a being formed of india-rubber and steel springs, and animated with an over-flowing abundance of mirth, mischief, and drollery ; and you will have some slight notion of the qualifications of Lauri junior as an amuser.He is marvellously supported by his English comrades ; and this unique troupe has consequently given their French audiences a notion of English fancy and invention, in the matter of drollery, of which even those who had seen the Han- lon-Lees had no previous conception.The Hungarians who came over to take art in the Republican fete of the 15th of uly, left Paris just too soon to see this marvel triumph of scientific, artistic, and romantic ingenuity and skill.Their time, however, was fully and [apparently] agreeably occupied ; and after, being feasted, shown the'lions, excurionised and speechified to their hearts\u2019 content, they offered a farewell banquet to their entertainers, and have gone back to Hungary, in a cloud of fraternal and international.enthusiasm probably more superficial than solid.; In curious contrast with the ceremonious and civilised sights and doings in the interior of this capital, is the spectacle afforded by the party of FOURTEEN ARANCANIANS \u2014men, women, and children\u2014who have just arrived in the]Gardens of the Acclimation Society, where they are quartered at the 37th degree of.S.latitude, between Chili and Patagonia.The Chilians claim sovereignity over the Arancanians, but the latter have practically maintained their independence.Hardy, brave, and warlike, they live by pastoral pursuits, and are said to be very friendly with Europeans who visit their country.The party now being gazed at by the visitors to the famous Gardens in the Bois de Bonlogne are gwarthy, but less dark than the Cingalese, and far more strongly built.The men are above the ordinary height, broad-shouldered, and well proportioned; the women, though shorter, passess well- knit frames,and are not ill-looking, though none of them could be called pleasing from the European point of view.They seem healthy, good-tempered ,and rather proud of the interest they excite.The men have nothing on their heads but their black hair ; \u201cbut the ladies wear a curious and not unbecoming headdress of coloured beads ; two of them also sporting a sort of diadem composed of silver coins of various currencies, English shillings and French francs among the number.The men, like the women, wear huge flat silver earrings, dangling down to their shoulders; a couple of broad silver plates are worn on their chest,over multitudinous strings of colored beads, and broad silver bracelets.Both sexes wear DINGY STRIPED ROBES, loose, and descending to the ankles, more like horse-rugs than human garments ; all are barefoot, their feet, like their hands, being small and well-shaped.When not soliciting coppers from their visitors, or critically examining the ladies\u2019 dresses, the women cook,or execute a rode embroidery, in which the men sometimes help them.The men amuse themselves with a rude ;musical instrument 15 feet long, supported on two spears, the sounds produced agreeably recalling those of the notorious French horn.The men, like all their countrymen, are splendid horsemen, and have hitherto been allowed to show off their skill in the paddock in which they are quartered, but they used their steeds so roughly that, a few days ago, this part of their performances was suppressed, the Bigwigs of the Society not caring to subject their fine horses to such violent treat ment.They are great eaters of meat and drink wine and spirits in any quantity they can manage to obtain.These aborogines, of whose race and country little is known to outsiders, are the ex-subjects of the Perigueux notary, M.Orelie-Antoine de Touneins, who became King of Arancania, as Orelie 1, a title to which he appears to have been justly entitled, though he was commonly regarded as a mere adventurer at the time.After practising for some years as an attorney in his native town, he went out to Arancania and acquired such influence there that the chiefs ma:ie him their ruler in 1861.He set to work TO CIVILISE HIS SUBJECTS after the European model, gave them a constitution copied from that of France and tried to enter into diplomatie relations with the latter.But the French sense of the ridiculous was too strong for the accep-, tance of the new sovereign.From the emperor downward, Orelie I.was an object of laughter.He failed to gain the support of his native land, and Chili soon made?war on him.Orelie I.raised au armv of 40,000 men ; he was captured by the Cuilian cavalry and thrown into prison.He made his escape, was re-captured a few days later, and shut up as a lunatic.Escaping again, he returned to Frauce, only to \"be prosecuted as a swindler, for trying to raise money by falsely describing himself as King of Arancania.\u201d The Correctional Tribunal of Paris, however, recognised his right to the title, and quashed the proceedings.The ex-poten- tate wrotea book and lectured on Arancania, his reign, and his projects.After vain attempts to interest his countrymen in his projects,the unfortunate adventurer, \u2014a mun of talent, nerve, and excellent intentions\u2014sank into ill-health, utter poverty, and died in a hospital of Bordeauxfrom which his friend, the Archbishop of Bordeaux, apprised to late of his presence and misery, came {o release him just as he died.A sad and pititul ending of a project not without its grandeur and possible usefulness, but that failed from the com- Bination of adverse circumstances and influences summed up in the popular expression, * a run of ill-luck.\u201d M.DE LESSEPS, who, professes to be enchanted at the repudiation of the provisional arrangement with England, and the consequent recovery of freedom of action by himself and the existing Suez Canal Company, has just peceived thé Grand Cordon of the Order of the Lion and the Sun, recently conferred on him by the Shah of Persia.» KAHOKA, Mo., Feb.9, 1880.I purchased five bottles of your Ho Bi tters of Bishop & Co.last fall, for my daughter, and am well pleased with the Bitters.They did her more good than all the medicine she has taken for slx years.WM.T.MCCLURE.The above is from a very reliable ta mer, whose daughter was in poor health for seven or eight years, and could obtain no relief un- till she usedHop Bitters, She is now in as good health as any person in the country.We have a large sale, and they are making remarkable cures.W.H.BISHOP & CO.A CARD.To all who are suffering from the errors and indiscretions of youth, nervous weakness, early decay, loss of manhood,&c.,I will send a recipe that will cure you, FREE OF CHARGE This great remedy was discovered by a missionary in South America.Send a self-ad- dressed envelope to the REv.Josgpa I.IN- MAN, Station D, New York City.Re TTR NORTH SHORE RAILWAY.Commencing on MONDAY, JULY 2nd, 1883, Trains will run as follows :\u2014 STATIONS.Leave Montreal for 9.00 am {4.00 pmi.Arrive at Quebec.13.40 Leave Quebec for Mon TEAÏ.220 000000000000 9.00 Arrive at Montreal.3.40 Leave Quebec for Three Rivers.\u2026\u2026.\u2026.\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026esdfserencnafe encours 5.Arrive at Three Rivers|.cere Leave Three Rivers for Quebec.oven wesfresseses .Arrive at Quebec.Leave Montreal for St.Felix de Valols.a.lois for Montreal.Arrive at Montreal.l.Magnificent Palace Cars on the two Express Trains.Sunday Trains leave Montreal and Quebec at4 p.m.air Trains run by Montreal Timen connection wi e Grand T Canada Atlantic Railways runk and GENERAL OFFICES\u2014QUEBEC.TICKET OFFCES: 43 St.James street, Windsor Hotel, MONTREAL.Opposite St.Louis Hotel, QUEBEC, A.DAVIS, Superintendent, July 4 » Baperintendeis \u201c Green Mountain Route.\u201d Four Express Trains daily to New York wite Pullman and Wagner Sleeping Cars attached.Three Express Trains daily to Boston with Pullman's Elogant Parlour and Sleeping Car attached.TRAINS LEAVE MONTREAL.7.15 a.m: \u2014Day Express tor Troy, Albany New York, Springfield and Boston via Fitehburg.Also to Waterlooaus 5.40 p.m.8,00 a.m.White Mountain Express arriving Moutpelier 12.60 noon, Wells river 3.10 p.m and Kabyans 5.40 p m.Limited Express for Boston, v* Concord, Manchester, Nashua and Lowell, arriving in Boston at 6.10 p.m., New London at 9.55 p.m., and New York via W R, Junction and Springfield at 11.3\" p.m.This train makes connection at Washua for Worcester, arrivingat 7.30 p.m.5.00 p.m.\u2014Night Express for New York,via Troy, arriving in New York at 6.45 the next morning.Also to Waterloo and Magog.7.30 p.m.\u2014Night Ex-ress for Bosteu, ax riving via Lowell, 8.30 a.m., or via F tehbarg 9.00 a.m.for Greentield., Northampton, Holyokeand Springfield, witheut change;

Ha! Bay\u201d until it reaches the St.Lawrence it is oftener from ove and & half to two miles wide.The tide runs up as high as a place called Terre Rompue.This spot is 83 miles from the mouth of the Saguenay and about 35 from the Lake ; the rapids and cascades coming to an end after à succession of unexual leaps.As to the course of the Saguenay from Terre Rompue to the St.Lawrence it is extremely rapid and the ebb of the tide is perceptible for several miles across the latter river, often beingso strong as to divert ships from their course.The river Saguenay runs through a profound abyss, in places 1,000 feet in depth, cut in the solid granite, through enormous mountainous masses, by a fearful earthquake thousands of years ago, as testified by geological evidence ; the remarkable appearance of the soil ; the disturbed face of the country, as though from repeated upheavings; here soil and there rock, somewhat resembling the surface of the ocean during a tempest, interspersed, as it is with ravines 100, 200,33)0 feet deep, the whole resulting from some sudden disturbance in the bowels of the earth, and by the subsequent warring of the elements.There are few who journey along the Saguenay that do not experience a feeling of awe, of mysterious wonder, at the aspect of this sombre river and of its formidable (perilous) banks ; at the hour when the deepening twilight envelops them ; when the steamboat, laden with wonderin touriste, rendered suddenly silent, charmed and appalled, proceeds slowly towards its mouth which seems to be guarded with a menacing (threatening) front of lowering cliffs, from whence COME TO BE OVERWHELMED the lgst rays of daylight.Each tree- branch trembling in the evening breeze resembles a frowning pediment with its shadow projecting far over the waves of the St.Lawrence itself.That broad, dark mantle descending from the bristlin heigits still echoing with the distant rol of thunder, fills the soul with a terror which, without doubt the imagination in: tensifies by peopling it with a troupe of frightful visions.The two ranges of mountains which enclose as if embracing this almost unfathomable river appear to be hurling defiance at one another across aa impassable abyss.The traveller feels as viewing one of the last imprints of chaos, of a last effort of a rough model of a formation staid in its course, which having become irritated at its inability to complete itself now waits the work, slow but sure of time, which sets an hour for the completion of all that exists.There is a species of delirum 1n this creation.Mountains appear to have been thrown there at hap-hazard resembling a terrific battle in the,midst of which the combatants had suddenly become stationary as though thunderstruck.In this shapless mass one breathes as if trembling from a heavy shock of earthquake, and doubtless many a century will yet elapse without in any way robbing this spot of ,its tragic horror; everything quivers from the crash, from the fury of the elements suddenly stopped in their flight, and the spectator feels, on penetrating this immovable chaos, as a mere atom, and is seized with a secret dread of being engulfed there never to return.It appears as though a Divine hand full of anger had suddenly fallen on these enormous rocks and rent them asunder, with a frightful crash, to make a passage for a furious torrent.When the Saguenay, till till then unknown on the world\u2019s chart, recipitated itself into this gigantic ravine, ,000 feet in depth, when it entered for the first time into this upheaved bed, where gulfs are torn asunder, it must have occurred with a noise that made the earth tremble afar.It must have plunged in bounding, roaring with the sound of a chasim filled with confusion, and its waters during long, many long years, scaled, without doubt, tearful summits before at length reaching A \u2018SAFE AND TRANQUIL LEVEL.The River Saguenay, as we have seen, flows into the River St.Lawrence after following a course of about 112 miles since its issue from Lake St.John.This course is subject to some deviations, thanks to the frequency of jutting rocks which, projecting into the river, turn it aside, and by obstructing it increases its ra- pudity, At its mouth, defended by two points, the one on the western side called \u2018 Pointe aux Bouleaux\u201d (Birch Point), the other on the western side « Pointe aux Vaches\u201d (Cow Point) bottom has never been found, says Mr.Bouchette in his typographical dictionary of the Province, although it has been sounded to a depth of 130 fathoms ; 780 feet, But this is a mistake, unfortunately widely believed since the publication of that excellent work.The souncings made in 1830 by Captain Bayfield.cf the Royal Navy of England, have, iti} true, corrected the exaggerated reports which attributed to the River Saguenay a depth of 1,500, 1,800 and even 2,000 feet in more than one spot, but the mass of the public still cling to this false notion which has to-day become a sort of tradition.They have continued, notwithstanding the scientific evidence to the contrary, to believe that the Saguenay is unfathomable.Now, Captain Bayfield\u2019s chart shows that, at even the mouth of the Saguenay, where, accordin to common idea, bottom could not be foun at 340 fathoms, the greatest depth of water does not exceed 76 fathoms, that it gradually increases to 88, 100 aud 108 fathoms jn a distance of 3 or 4 miles up the river until it reaches its greatest death, 147 fathoms, between Passe Pierre\u201d (Peters Channel) and St.Stephen\u2019s Bay, above 5 miles from Tadousac.As for the rest THE DEPTH OF THE SAGUENAY is extremely variable, changing abruptly ; in places it does not exceed 10 and a short distances farther it reaches 80 and 100 fathoms and even more.The spot where the depth is most uniform is below Cape Eternity and ¢ Descente de Femme,\u201d (Woman\u2019s Descent), where niore than once it reaches 145 and is nowhere less than 100 fathoms.Cape Eternity is 39 and ¢ Descente de Femme\u201d is about 47 miles from the mouth of the Saguenay.From Birch Point and jutting out into the river for a distance of two miles is a reef of rocks in the shape of a halt moon open to the east.In the spring floods they are entirely covered, but the water ia always in a state of agitation ; at the extremity of these rocks is a little island of sand which is never snbmerged; this lsland and the rocks form what are known as \u201cSwallow Point\u201d and \u201cSwallow Reef.\u201d A large indentation, hollowed out of the bank, Between ¢ Swallow Point\u201d and ¢ Black Point,\u201d which i= opposite Tadousac, forms St.Catherine\u2019s Bay, about two miles wide and.varying from 10 to 66 fathoms in depth.On the opposite side of the mouth of the Saguenay is *\u201c Cow Point,\u201d the name being derived from the walrus (sea-cow) which formerly fregnented theze latitudes and was hunted bythe Basques.It is the moet southerly portion of a sand bank washed up by the 8t.Lawrence, and upon it stands to-day the village of Tadousac.This Point and Birch Point are covered with an extremely fertile sol composed of enormous banks of clay from 30 to 40 feet deep on the latter and ranges as high as 200 feet in the former.This clay is re markably fine and contains a considerable quantity of lime and a little iron.It has the property of crumbling in water like quick-lime and would form an excellent manure for marshy lands.Behind ¢ Cow Point,\u201d immediately on passing the mouth of the Saguenay, TADOUSAC HARBOR comes into view.This harbor is formed by the point of the little island which separates it from the Saguenay on the south-west and from the mainland on the north-east ; its width is about one-third of a mile and its depth about half a mileat low tide.It is very safe and protected by the surrounding mountains from most of the winds which prevail in the St.Lawrence.The tide rises to a height of 21 feet; in winter tte ice forms later®and in spring disappears earlier than at Quebec, owing to the depth of the water which is much salter here than on the opposite or south shore of the St.Lawrence, also from the prevalence of the north-west winds, which drives to the other side the floating ice collecting at the mouth of fresh water rivers.It may here be remarked that the north-east and and north-west are almost the only winds felt in the river Saguenay ; the latter above all blows at times with extreme violence.As to the other winds they are scarcely perceptible.On leaving Tadousac harbor, roundin the argillaceous precipice of ¢ Cow Point,\u201d and skirting the banks of the river\u2019; a small bay, at the bottom of which runs the river of \u201c Buade Mill,\u201d about three miles from Tadoussac, is speedily reached.At the foot of this bay lies the famous ¢ Marble Bank,\u201d of which so much has been written and said.This bank ie in an almost vertical position and rises to a height of 150 feet.It is in immediate proximity to Syenite Gneiss,\u201d and some times mixes with it, but is generally pure and solid.\u201c\u2018It is possible at a small expense to quarry thousands of tons of it,\u201d says a traveller who examined this bank in'1826.¢1It is possible, I think, to take out perfect blocks 15 and 20 feet in height, which would serve to ornament buildings; but, it is not susceptible of a very fine polish\u2019; however, it is worth the trouble of quarrying.\u201d : The DISCOVERY OF MARBLE at the ** Buade Mill\u201d is not of recent date.In 1726 Charlevoix anchored here in the Chaman, a vessel of the French Royal Navy, and landed at the small brook which runs at the foot into the bay.It is to the » Ie re.1er ld he k, ve ver ntee rent at ere.best ased ased ches ble, caps ape rate 14- void Îled, ated e to hes, rked ard- alue, gold le by don, lish 0 to ieces stock piges.Sy 8c.0, to 175 mY Nent.entes for street.191 a 7 A ot wv e \u201cTHE MONTREAL HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE THURSDAY, AUGUST 16 ee À SUMMER'S JAUNT \"EN BAS.Montreal to Halifax by the Inter-Colonial.The Changes Which a Half-Century Has Wrought.(WRITTEN FOR THR HSRALD.) Having lately retrned from a somewhat extended tour in Nowa Scotia and parts adjacent, where 1 have had the advantage of penetrating \u2018 into the bowels of tue land,\u201d in out of the way places, seldom visited by the ordinary tourist, it struck me perhaps, that a tew notes on this trip, written currente calamo, might interest or amuse some of your numerous readers, even should there be nothing ¢ rich or rare \u201d therein.To begin at the beginning then, (and not like te * story, of the cat and fiddle, which began and broke off in the middle\u201d) I found myself one Friday evening, on board a Pullman car, at the Bonaventure station.Although there were three cars on, it was a difficult matter to find even standing room in any of them.Lucky was he who had his Pullman car ticket in his pocket.The usual annual exodus to the seaside was in full swing, with a powerful contingent of infantry.The latter throughout the night, like the Cherubim and Sera phim, ¢ continually did cry.\u201d It wasa curiosity, ghough it caused many delays, to nol the hegps of impediméenta disgorged frjin the baggage cars, at each seaside station en route, until Metis was reached, where the last contingent was left behind, and the through travellers had quiet, comparative peace, and comfort.The journey dowe,by river and gulf shore, was beautiful emoeqdingly,a continued rising of the curtain on something new and varied.This lasted until we commenced to ascend the height of land that separates the waters flowing into the guif from those that find their way into the Bay of Chaleur, where we plunged at once into the wilderness.And a wilderness it is likely to remain, if one might judge from the sparse cultivation.that fringed its onder, edge.Stunted hay crops on a poor, sandy soil,\u2014oats coming into ear scarcely a foot high,\u2014not by any means a \u2018lan! to tickle witha hoe and make laugh with a harvest.\u201d And then I thought me of the long, dreary eight months winter on those black and burren uplands, and wondered little why \u2018people should look towards the setting sun and the fertile laads lying in that direction.REACHING THE SUMMIT we found ourselves running for nearly thirty miles along the shores of the beautiful Metapedia Lake.Then down the valley of the Metapedia, where its waters find an outlet by a river of that name, famed for its salmon fishing\u2014a fact fully emphasize: to us, as we whirled by them, at the sight of the many picturesque fishing cottages located on the banks of the winding river.Notable amongst these is the one owned by Mr.George Stephen of, the Pacific syndicate, shortly before oceu- pied bv the Princess.The cottage is most beautifully situated on a slightly raiced terrace, that gives its inmates a magnificent panorama of the flowing river in all its devious winding between softy hills crowned with their hanging woods.The railway follows closely the \"banks of the river, which it has to cross several times in all its crooks and turns.The curves of the road are many and some of them sharp and sudden.e ran down the valley from the height of land at racing speed, running ninety miles in two hours.We had got an hour and a half behind time, owing to our many delays at the different sea-side stations ; so the driver, to make up tor the leeway, Jet the ou horse rip, aud Le went at a stunning pace.I did not lalf like it; the Pullman oscillated so going round tie curves, and I had heard of such things as cars jumping the track.I was not, therefore, sorry at reaching the pretty little village of Metapedia just as the shades of evening gathered in.ONE MELANCHOLY SPOT was pointed out to me by a lady in the train as we rushed down the valley.This was a solitary grave that stosd in a small clearing by tlie railway\u2014enclosed by a wooden paling, a small black wooden cross within the enclosure.Its story was this, ag narrated to me by the lady who had directed my attention to it: There lay the body of the wife of one of the engineers of the road ut the time of its coustruction.She had come out to join her Husband and had caught the small-pox.Fear of the tell disease drove every one away, and she died almost unattended, excepting by her husband, who had some diffienity in getting assistance enough to bury her.What asad and touching memorial in the heart of that lone wilderness! \"In due time Campbelton was reached, where supper awaited us, not at all unacceptable after our long day\u2019s ride.The hungry travellers revelled here in some most delicions salmon, fresh from the water, no more like, in taste and flavor, the galmon one gets at a distance from the sea- -side than the travelled peach or orange \u2018are like those one gathers ripe from the overhanging branches, insite.Thereisa richness and a fullness in the tlavor of the fish that it loses after a long land carriage ina half frozen state.It is only by the gea-side that one finds those rich creamy .curds between the flakes of flesh so much prized by conneisseurs and epicures.After an ample supper fully enjoyed, there was nothing further to ve done than to turn in, and trust to the driver and his good engine during the watches of the night.Day light found us far into Nova Scotia, until we pulled up AT TRURO FOR BREAKFAST.This thriving looking town seems to be situated in the midst of a good agricultural country, the crops looking well aud abundant.But what can I say of the country, as we near Halifax.Sterile beyond compare! Rocks, with a boulder strewn surface! Lakes innumerable, skirted by stony.hills, clothed with a stunted growth of scrubby spruce, and birch! What prospect of any fruitful cultivation of such a country can there be?None whatever.And this characterises that part of it, to the very portals of Halifax, and its immediate vicinity.As you wind round that magnificent land locked harbor, Bedford Basin, it is still through a rough country, \u2018of broken stony hills.It is true that at the head of the basin, and along its shores, one sees neat villas, in their trim gardens, \u201c oages in the desert.\u201d But these are the products of wealth and ease.Fancy the settler whose sole wealth is the axe on his shoulder, conquering a subsistence from 80 inhospitable a soil ! Ch AMM a a About ten o\u2019clock on Sund:y morning, | charms, and they have many, have that we reached HALIFAX, and shortly after I found myself comfort- ablv ensconced at the Halifax Hotel.Quict and old fashioned, it keeps on the even tenor of its way, undisturbed by visions of palatial caranvansaries, like our Windsor for instance, where is to be found every comfort and luxury for the well filled purse bien entendu.The first thing that strikes a stranger on arriving at Halitax, are the old fashioned lumbering vehicles that ply for hire there.\u2018l'hey are something of a cross, I think, betwixt the Roman quadirga and a British war chariot, drawn by two horses.On my asking my Jehu why they could not have neat, handy, one horse carriages, like our Montreal oues, that will take you any where in the city for a quarter, his answer was characteristic, as he told me with a grave face, \u201cOur people would not use them.\u201d This reminded me of the reply of Alphonse Karr to a friend, who told him that he heard that trutfles were going to Le ecarce that year.Bah, mon ami, that is a report that has been circulated by the Turkeys.\u201d May I Le permitted to say here that I first visited Halifax forty-nine years before, in 1834, when I went there with m regiment.The place was, therefore, full of ghosts to me.They met me atthe street corners.They looked out on me from many windows.It was the memory of former days.¢ They roiled before me with all their deeds.\u201d I found very little change in the old part of the city.The wooden houses, of which it is principally composed, looked as dingy as ever.wonder huw a town so built has escaped with impunity for so long from that besom of destruction that has swept away 80 many of its neighbors.But if one wants to see change and improvement, one must look for it toward POINT PLEASANT, where a new and beautiful city has sprung up.Fifty years ago, the time to which refer, there was hardly a house beyond the present Spring Garden road.The beautiful public garden, unequalled in the Dominion, was them a desolate treeless common, the receptacle for the city\u2019s rubbish.The artificial lake thereun, on which now float majestic swans, white and black, with fancy water-fowl innumerable, was a dirty pond, dear to the town boys for winter skating.The lovely Point Pleasant Park was then a mere wild wood.Certainly the civic authorities of Halifax deserve credit for what they have done in the way of ¢ plea- saunces\u201d for their people.Whilst I was there they were placing in position two beautiful iron summer honses, presented to the city Ly-Sir William Young.These were manu'acturel in Glasgow, brought out in piece-, and were being placed where they commanded unrivalled points of view.The Dominion Government could not do better than fullow suit and order one for the Parliamentary grouv:ls, to be placed where the flagstatf now is.Su thought the writer the other day when at Ottawa, and he looked npn tre old sentry box erected by Col.Moore when O tawa was By-town, and which still ornaments (hardly) that classic spot.THE CITADEL, whose foundations were being laid in 1834, and for the excavation of whose ditches our regiment furnishel many working parties, is now a completed fact and dominates the city.As I wandered round its walls how well I remembered its first rudiments.I was rather disappointed with it.Tt was not kept in that trim, neat order that works of that kind usually are.It had an untidy, unkempt appearance.The edge of the emlrasures and the ramparts generally were rough and unsightly, whilst lying in the ditch was a quantity of cut stone, the refuse of its building material.Nor did it= armament come up to my expectations.I saw nothing heavier than 7 ton guns._ Not so was it with Fort Ogilvy at Point Pleasant, where everything was in apple- pie order.Ramparts and embrasures, neat and clean cut\u2014not a blade of grass growing, where it had no business to grow\u2014the large 7 and 10 ton guns shining with coats of fresh lacquer.The traversing carriages for the suns, marvels of mechanical construction and adaptation of brass and iron, shining with polish and paint.It wa.the beau ideal of whata tort of that kina should be.I was to have visited George\u2019s Island, where there are 18 ton guns mounted, and to lave seen the torpedo establishment there.But having left this for the last day of my stay, the weather proved so unpropitious as to disappoint me, and I had to leave the same evening without seeing them.This was the more unfortunate, as I had put off my visit to the flagship for the same day, and the occasion was also lost.She has, I was told, à very heavy armament, and is, by all accounts, a ship well worth seeing.Artillerists complain that the armament for the Halifax forts is not heavy enough, and would like to bave there some of those monster guns that we hear so much about.Anyway, an enemy trying to enter Halifax Harvor, as it is now protected, with the assistance of ita torpedo arrangements, would I should imagine meet with a particularly mauvais quart d'heure.f I was disappointed in this respect, I was greatly interested in another, being permitted to see the results of a very curious and novel invention, of a very able officer of the Royal Engineers, now stationed at Halifax.\u2018These were INSTANTANEOUS PHOTOGRAPHS of the city, taken from a stationary balloon.Bya very ingenious coutrivance, manipulated fram below, à small port fire burns a string, which releases a slide, with the result of an instant picture of all below.No plan drawn can be so perfect and complete.Houses, streets, people walking, horses anu carriages driving\u2014nothing is missed.If the roufs could only be removed for an instant, as they were for the beuefit of Le Sage\u2019s \u201c diable boiteux\u201d over the sleeping city of Madrid, would not the \u201c dove cotes of Corioli be somewhat flutiered\u201d
