r THE! WILSON ADVANCE: OCTOBER 10, 1895. GAMMM-ffi1! By permission of the Observer. what I write bat .it. was very, iuipres-: sive. Then the church 'of: the Jesuits with the old Jesuits with the crown of their heads shaved, liiCe-ve read of in the Wondering Jew. I only, speak of their appearance. Then " other hirches tiie Bonsecours is a very old one in members. The drive to Mont Royal, about 800 feet above the city is very tine, and we had an excel lent view of the city, as you can see it all plainly lying right at the foot of all the mountain. Sir Stevens residence is a fine type of the old English mansion built 'perfectly s juare with large gronnds surround ing it, the mansion sitting back amongst the trees, and there are several there of this same type, and a good many handsome residences. The principal streets are concreted but the mitiior side streets have plank sidewalks. They have any number OI COliegeS OUt 1 U1U llOl go ujiu any of them except the Jesuit College. It is amusing how they copy the Americans there. Hat stores have signs in their windows, ''latest New York st vies." They also carry Eng lish hats, Our driver would say as we' drove along their swell street, "this is the oth avenue of Montreal," and again, their best Jeweler, they say is the Tiffanv of Montreal. Here and at Quebec they think very highly of Americans, but on the border, at Kingston and the Thonsand Islands the feelim? is not so, friendly. In my next T will tell you of dear, quaint, old Quebec. If I am not boring vou I wish to tell you that I have just received the Honeymoon march: it is very popular. . There are some unfading, undying impressions we recei ve, , that 4 1 age cannot 'wither nor custom stale," of such -ire the glories of Quebec: Never -can I forget the glorious sight When our steamer neared that quaint, old city. The first sight to greet our eys were the Plains of Abraham a mere "'grassy plain-now, to .be sure, but the Tugged pass, overgrown with bushes, leading from the waterVedge up the steep declivity, to the bluff above, are all preserved so completely that one recognizes it at once, from the pictures of Wolfe's army ascend ing it, that we have all seen. As we drew still nearer to the city and saw the grandeur thereof 'twas truly as if we had been transported to some part of medheal Europe. At the water's edge lay the lower town (the business portion with its old ware houses and narro.v streets), while on the high bluff, 330 feet above, were the great fortifications, frowning down rpon us, and the upper town (the rtoidence portion), stretching away in the distance. The fortifi cations are on the highest point on this bluff, while the upper town ranges from 200 to 250 feet above the lower town. For majesty, for gran deur, for simplicity, there can be nothing of its kind superior to this arproa;ili to Quebec. This bluff, that separates the lower froni the upper town, is one unbroken stretch with o ie. exception, where theie is a s eep pass leading to the upper town, they call it a-street, but it is so precipitous that, at times, you see embankments SO feet high on the sides of the road. In addition to this they have iron stairways at various places along the bluff, as avp!1 is a nassenger elevator to ctnnei't .-the two portions of the -ity. ' - ; Om of the most interesting features oi this quaint, old relic of a by-gone city, is the wall that originally sur rounded the entire city, but the city has outgrown it, and at present the wall encloses only the citadel and a tmal portion of the residences. In these walls they have four gates, or rather archways (the St Louis, St., John, Duff erin and Kent gates), that are so thoroughly artistic and in such complete ke3ping with their surroundings,- that they cannot' fail to thrill you with admiration, and cause you to think of the days when "Knights grew bold and Barons held their sway." They are built of mas sive grey stone, surmounted by tow ers, but they have no gates, as the original ones, decayed and crumbled, and these archways were erected in their stead. Within this wall they have still another wall that encloses fortress, but you should see the' mas sive gates guarding this stronghold,, great, strong, massive iron that looks as though it were forged by Vulcan. It did amuse us ; greatly when our guide, o,ne of the British soldiers, showed us through the fortress. He had shown us everything, and we asked him to show us the shortest way out of the barracks, but he would insist on making a wide detour to an open space in the very centre of the place, not savinsr a wnrrl nil this time why he wished us to go that 1 wav. Suddenlv. h directly in front of a small brass can non, and with a smile said, " Look at i at that now !" and behold ! there was a tiny cannon the British had cap- mteu iroin us at uunKer Mill in 1776, ! then with another smile (which we did not appreciate), he said, " He am j through now." He saw wewere Ameri cans, for that reason took such pride in showing the cannon, but as a Bos ton girl once answered on a similar . occasion, " Yes, you have the cannon but we have Bunker Hill." But what shall I say of those dear, quaint, old houses and tiny winding streets? .you remember those houses you so often see in Detailles1 great military paintings of the old French Provinces? Those houses with the .-"" oiauuug gauie ruoxs, witu uor- mer windows and a mortar fascade, with the inevitable one window and - door, and heavy wooden jambs, or occasionally you would see them built of grey stone, with heavy black seams between the stone, or some would have the rouerh stone exposed where the mortar had fallen off, as it ; nn j wa3 wen entitled taaoautjuwMiy,,. i-v-. y-rv.-.f-n rrl'fvK1 !"- T old lipit one - street,-ije xvae ruuie 2s loima in ncai every iarnny, in some I purpose kX collecting ta ; Hhntn nlain.' iust 10 feet wide .-from house to house, wooden planks laying crosswise act as both sidewalks ana street, for they are one: and the same thine: here; and again, that street of streets, Sons le Cap " street, exactly 10 feet wide from house to house. When our carriage drove through this street there was just room enough for one person to stand on each side between tne carriage and the houses, What with the winding of these miniature streets and the quaintness of the houses, one could not but think that he was in some old French Province. It was all so charming, so saiisiyiiig. no bu uiiou iituic scenes of this kind, but seldom, if at all find them so exquisitely preserved on this continent as we do here. On this street I have mentioned, Le Rue Petite Champlain, there is an iron stairway leading from one part of it to the other, they call it the " break neck" steps it is certainly wTell named. There were so many other places so very interesting, of which I cannot give vou an accurate description. The Duke of Kent's former city resi dence is a plain but old English struc ture; and is extremely interesting. The Notre Dame des- Victoires, and the Balisca churches are exceedingly old and have soms exquisite paint- ings the works of some of the old masters The Basilica, in special, has J a Van Dyke that is truly divine. The drawing and flesh tints are marvel- j, UBeyond the citv there is such , a ! M.a.hninff lftiA vifino-A Rnnnnrt , H. . isa Frerich village, in fact, t& peo-V. pie " there speak no English . -The L houses are all built like those you see pictures of the villages of the old French Provinces; those long slant ing roofs' with huge eaves, a little patch of garden in front neatly kept, and what with all the houses neatly white-washed, and looking so trim and so tidy, and the road winding here, winding there, winding everv- I aitnougn it was not designed as chan where. 'twas a most daintv uicture. , t)'. teing noth ng more or less than Your thoughts would involuntarily ' . . ... i stray away, across the Atlantic, to f the land from whence these tidy peo ple came. In the viilage all the houses face the road, some in this po sition and some in that, however the road may twist or turn. How charming it was to see their shrines by the wayside, where, they would pray "in the morning on tueu" way to their work. These shrines consist of t hree stone steps surmount ed by a cross, you have so often read of them, but I never expected to see them 011 this side of the A.l tntic ocean. This village has aUo a tiny church, 250 years old, the very oldest in Can ada. It measures just 12 feet wide by 12 feet long and accomodates just 12 people; it is almost a pocket edi tion of a church, The road through this village leads io Montmorency Falls, which while quite majestic and flanked by pretty trees on each side, still is not to be compared to Niagara Falls. ; " But I failed to mention our visit to the Plains of Abraham. The mpst eulogistic, yet brief inscription,! I have ever seen or heard is the one in scribed upon the simple granite shaft erected to Wolfe on this spot, which reads, " Here Wolfe died victorious." During our three days stay we spent our evenings enjoying that most beautiful promenade, the pride of Quebec Duff erin Terrace. 'Tis a vertible dieain at night, and a most entrancing sight at day. Can you imagine a promenade (plank floor ing laid upon the earth) 1,500 feet long and 200 feet wide, perched on the sumit of a high bluff 200 feet above the .majestic St. Lawrence river. By day you look, down upon the houses and streets of bygone d lys upon the peaceful river, and the beautiful country v around. But at night, what a wealth of delightful reverie, what a draught of blissful emotion it did awake Beneath lay the weird houses and tiny streets wrapped in fantastic shades beyond lay the waters in inky darkness, re lieved occasionally by the fitful gleam of a ship's lantern, and still beyond lay the lights of Levis (the town on the opposite side of the river), twink ling merrily. In the midst of such an entrancing scene one cannot fail to realize his own comparative in significance. In the evening this Terrace is literally crowded witn peo ple, strollidg along. At such times it it is a gay sight indeed. v I do wish to tell you of the Canadian girls! . There is a most beaut 11 ui type that one sees occasionally large black eyes, black hair, prominent cheek bones, a triflle dark complex ion .and a pretty, rounded chin, not tocf full, withal a yery striking face, but you don't see very many of them. 7 The people, as a class, seem very friendly to the United States, as the moment we mentioned that we were from the States they showed us any amount of attention. With a long, last, lingering look at this quaint old city of the past I left Quebec and continued my journey to Montreal, thence to Lake Champlain and Lake George. Henry Wilson, the postmaster at Welshton, Florida, says he cured a. case of diarrhoea of long standing in six hour, with one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera, and Di arrhoea Remedy. What a pleasant surprise that must have been to the sufferer. Such cures are not unusual with the remedy. In many instances only one or two doses are required to give permanent relief. It can be de pended upon. When reduced with water it is pleasant to take. For sale by E. M. Nadal, Druggist. ' Clothing Department up stairs Big stock, low prices. E. R.

The Female Criminal Excels the Male. Dr. Lombroso, the Italian specialist in criminology, has written a book on "The Female Offender," in which he says : "The female born criminal is far more terrible than the male. She com bines the worst qualities of both sexes -the woman's excessive desire for re "venge, cunning, cruelty, love of dress and untruthfulness, the - man's vices, fickleness, fearlessness, audacity and often, muscular strength. Celto wrote in the fifteenth century: No possible punishment can deterwomen from heap- ing upcrime upon crime. Their perver sity of mind is more fertile in new crimes than the imagination of a judge in new nnnishments. . RtHra aM.

It was so effective in curing those who used the remedy that they were loud in their praises of it and in cor se quence a large demand for the cordial was at once created. The druggists of this town have little books that tell all about it. Digestive Cordial creates an appetite, aids di gestion and brings about a rapid in crease in flesh and strength.

"Say 'Your Grace,' '.oj.V The Duke cf Hamilton's harriers hunt during the season in this neighborhood, and the "meet" is a welcome reliel from the monotony of rural life. On one. of these occasions not long ago, when the duke himself was present, the services of a bright Suffolk youth were requisi tioned to hold Ws grace's horse., The duke addressed - some kindly remark to the boy, who promptly replied, "Yes, sir!" "Why ; don't you say 'your grace?' " interposed one of ; the attend ant horsemen.
