sumptuous and princely castle-mansion of olden times, sufﬁciently modernized to give all necessary comforts for those who stay here. The interior decorations. panel effects, tapestries, heraldic and symbolic ornamentations, and the artistic furnishings will commend themselves to all. There is so much to be seen, that all visitors to Quebec should introduce themselves to the courteous management and take the opportunity of making a thorough examination of the Chateau interior. Do not hurry; avoid the modern detestable rush and indigestion of sights, scenes and ideas. Make a prelim— inary tour of all public places in the building, and then go through it at leisure, making notes of all the numerous features that in them- selves, alone, are an education.

Laval University is famous for its treasures of art and splen- did library. It has a ﬁne picture gallery and museums. A beautiful and extended view of the surrounding country may be had from the promenade on the roof of the building. In the smaller seminary adjoining were conﬁned the American ofﬁcers who were taken prisoners at the time of Arnold and Montgomery’s attack on Quebec in 1775. The buildings contain many things of interest for the general visitor, and here a whole day may proﬁtably be spent.

The Ursuline Convent, Hotel Dieu, and Cardinal's Palace are also places of great interest. In the chapel of the convent the remains of the brave Montcalm are interred. Here may be seen the monument erected to his memory, bearing an inscription pre- pared by the French Academy. A second memorial, erected by Lord Aylmer, has an inscription of which the translation reads:

“Honor to Montcalm l Fate in depriving Him of Victory Rewarded Him by a Glorious Death l”

The Hotel Dieu, or hospital, is the oldest institution of the kind in all America. It was founded in 1639 by the Duchess d'Aguillon, who was a niece of the great Cardinal Richelieu. Some of the oldest houses in Canada originally stood in this locality. The Hotel Dieu contains some very excellent paintings and valuable relics of the early Jesuit missionaries who were martyred by the Indians. While in Quebec read the story of this terrible martyrdom, and learn what incredible suffering was endured by those brave men who assisted in opening up the heritage we now enjoy so complacently.

The Cardinal’s Palace at the crest of Mountain Hill Street is worthy of a visit to inspect its ﬁne apartments and reception chamber.
