We have been permitted to publish
tie fol owing extracts from an excellent
letter descriptive of Chautauqua, written
to a friend in Goderich bya young lady
at one time • pupil of oderich High
School. The style is :harming, and the
fair writer lends life to her pictures of
the famous lake aide assembly :-
But I have almost forgotten about
those few week's camping in a later trip
to New York State. There are days and
seasons which by reason of their associa-
tions are like mountain heights which
lift one into s clearer atmosphere, and
widen the horizon of spiritual life and
thought. Now, I fancy,
Ml' WHOLE FUT( RE LIFE
will not fail to vibrate in unison with the
faintest echos of "Chautauqua." My
trip there was the appesaing of an old
heart hunger, the fulfilment of an early
dream. We toIik boat in Toronto to
Niagara, obtaining a splendid view of the
Falls, old, yet ever new and grand. A
rainbow as complete as beautiful spanned
the overhanging mist. From Buffalo we
took train to Mayville, situated at the
heart of Chautauqua Lake. From there
the steamer Moulton brought to our
view this literal

It is a charming resort for healthful rest
and restful activity. and abounds in
literary opportunities. You are no
doubt acquainted with
DR. VINCENT,
(toe presiding genius and primary indi-
viduality from whence Chautauqua has
its origin), through his twin lectures
"That Boy" and "Tht.t Boy's Sister."
I remember hearing the former in To-
ronto when we were at the Normal. You
know, too, that its primary idea was to
give seekers an enlarged and improved
view of true and efficient Sunday school
work. But since then its aimhasdevelop-
ed into four subdivisions, represented in

suture and Art, and I am inclined to
think that this University in the woods
is doing what it claims to do faithfully
and well, viz.: giving the great mass who
have not had the opportunity of a col-
lege course the wider and clearer outlook
of a.
COLLEGE STUDENTS LIFE.
The enthusiasm among young, middle
aged and old was the most inspiring
thing which has entered into my life for
some time. It seemed tome such a grand
little cluster of genius and talent -giants
in thought. It seemed as if one inighb
lire a year of one's life in one short
week. My anticipation stood tiptoe on
the Mountain top in regard to Chautau-
qua; and yet I was satisfied. I never
saw S. S. work so practically elucidated,
and as thoroughly, as by B. T. Vincent
and wife,Frank Beard and It. S. Holmes.
I coveted the
RARE CHANCE FOR BIBLE STUDY
under Dr. J. 1Vnrden. I enjoyed every
lecture, and found Christ the central and
prevailing influence in nil the devotional
meetings. I became for the first time
understandingly interested in the geo-
graphy of ancient Palestine as under the
direction of the Rev. S. McGerald, we
trod the streets and valleys one by one,
carefully and lovingly tarrying here and
there where, Our Lord tarried, sitting in
seeming reality by the Sea of Galilee or
River Jordan, climbing mounts Hermon
and Olivet and standing in the valley
betwixt mounts Ebal and Gerizim. Yee,
that

is a grandly instructive idea. Now come
with me on board the steamer on one of
the C. L. S. C. excursions. I want you
to notice the many beautiful summer
resorts on either side of the lake. I
want you to observe tho luxuriant
scenery which reaches a sublime climax
as wo enter the narrows at the foot of
the lake, every new curve revealing un-
expected beauties in earth, air and ,':),.
The world seems perfect, and our souls

ful,who has revealed to us in visible form

the arches, through the Golden Gate, we
wander to the Fountain Tree pouring
forth from its knotty mouth the limpid

where if not too late, we would

a round or two on those roller-skates.

PATRICK O'DONNELL,
LONDON, Oct.3.-Sullivan, counsel for
O'Donnell, gives the following summary
of O'Donnell'■ defence : Till the day
after he reached Capetown, O'Donnell
says, he never for a moment suspected
"Power" to be Carey. Seeing he was
an Irishman, he chummed wish him, and
was kind to the children because they
seemed in misery. He was further at-
tracted to Carey by his moody, myster-
ious ntanner, and thought he was possi-
bly a political outcast escaping. On the
day after they left the Cate it was rum-
ored that Carey' was aboard. O'Donnell
was w overcome by the ides that he had
been giving his hand to and chnmmittg
with such a villian that ho lay awake Al
night moaning and groaning. He had
as crown witness Greenhough testi-
fied at the Cape, plenty of opportunities
for throwing Carey overboard had he
suspected hts identity. He drank freely
next morning with him. The informer,
suspecting something, changed his man-
ner, and on going into the saloon for
beer said, "What have you done with
your. pistol, 0 .Donnell 1 • It made me
nervous when you fired at those trying
fish." O'Donnell replied, "I sold it, hut
why are you afraid 1 Only a man who
had something on his conscience would
be afraid of that." Carey here took a
hectoring tone, and as some of the men
who,had been sitting sprang to their feet
said, "O'Donnell, you are ready to go off
half cock," and grappled O'Donnell, who
took Carey's collar by his left hand,which
was paralysed. Carey and he then drew
pistols. "I came from a part of Ameri-
ca where people don't wait to inquire
into a man's intentions when his pistol
is against your forehead," said O'Don-
nell, "and I fired with my right hand.
Carey's revolver went offend dropped on
the floor. Carey staggered forward to
pick up the weapon, seeing this I fired
again. Tom Carey then picked up his
father's pistol.'' Sullivan hopes to con-
vict Tom Carey of perjury. He has ap-
plied for postponement of the trial to
allow time for Greenhough and the
officers of Kinfaun's castle to arrive. The
prisoner
caner is still jaunty and unconcern -
London, Oct. 3. -O'Donnell has di-
rected the disbursement of 81,500 re-
ceived from the committe appointed in
New Yurk to raise funds for his de-
fence.
TALK ABOUT ('DON\ELL.
Dublin, Oct. 4.-A 'ballad singer nam-
ed Hynes was sertencedto imprisonment
for a month for singing the praises of
O'Donnell and calling upon all Irishmen
to act toward other informers as O'Don-
nell did.
London; Oct. 1. -It is stated that the
informers in the Phoenix Park murder
trials who were not permitted to land at
Melbourne will go to India, where Carey
decided to go, until he was dissuaded by
hie'wife. It is reported that .Carey was
,ffered a clerkship in the new barracks
at Kimachee.
Jersey City, Oct. 4 -Mrs. Helen Kel-
ey says,O'Donnell, whe killed Carey,was
once employed by her husband as a gas
fitter, and after receiving a paralytic
troke was considered insane. She wrote
o Lord Granville expressing a desire to
testify in O'Donnell's behalf is her ex-
penses were paid, and received a reply
rating that the British government
would not bear expenses.
