MONTREAL.
[continued from last week,]
HOW TO SEE TIm OITT,
Montreal is famous, the world over, for
her obliging haokmen. To "do the city"
Properly, it is necessary to seoure the
services of one of the many snores of
haokmen who are to be found in all the
leading thoroaglifares. Here is to be
seen the witty, warm hearted son of the
Emerald Isle, who knows every "nook
and corner" of this busy city. His wit
and humor is proverbial. ae will toll
you all about the "big bugs" who live in
the city's palatial residencies ; whilst hie
prioes are far below those of any other
similar eines of men on the continent of
America. That these mon have long
earned the cordial support and sympathy
of the entire community no one can
deny ; and we would here cheerfully re-
commend all who may visit the island
city to lose no time in getting "Cabby"
to "chow yon the eights,"
ME HARBOR.
Montreal possesses one of the finest
harbors in the world. The wharfage ac-
commodation ie nearly three miles and a
half, and is being extended and improved
every year, so as to make room for the
vast amount of shipping which annually
visits the port from all parte of the hab-
itable globe. Tho average depth of the
obannel is 30 feet.
THE WHARVES.
The wharves are surmounted by a very
massive cut -stone wall, on the top of
which the corporation has eructed a
temporary dyke, and are now about con-
structing a handsome boulevard and
roadway, or permanent dyke. This step
has been deemed necessary owing to the
Spring floods, which annually cover the
lower portion of the pity, doing an in.•
manse amount of damageto property of
all kinds. That the erection of this dyke
has somewhat marred the beauty of the
approach to the oity none can gainsay ;
yet it is expected that when the permanent
dyke is completed, and the present eye-
sore removed, the approach to the harbor
will be greatly beautified.
THE VICTORIA BRIDGE.
This great work, sonretimea classed as
the eighth artiflmal wonder of the world,
was completed in 1860, under the super-
intendenue of Robert Stephenson, and is
a mile and tbroe•quartors in length, or
two miles including the extensions. It is
supported on twenty-four piers, the cen-
tral span being three hundred and thirty
feet, the remaining ones two hundred and
forty-two, with massive abutments ; the
bridge tube is of iron, twenty-two feat
high by sixteen wide, slightly lessening
at the ends. It was erected at a cost of
$6,800,000. The height of the centre
span above ordinary river level is sixty
feet. Three million cubic feet of mason-
ry and ten thousand tons of lion enter
into the construotion of this gigantic
work. Neer the centre there is an open-
ing, which affords a magnificent view of
the river and city. No railroad train is
allowed to enter this bridge without a
written permit from the proper officer,
thus, insuring exemption from collision
or aooident. By obtaining a permit at
the Grand Trunk Offiaas, tourists oan in-
spect a portion of the interior of the
bridge. The river beneath the bridge has
a swift ourrent, and the piers • are eel:al-
ated to witbstund immense pressure from
descending masses of foe.
TRH NEW GRAND TRUNK STATION,
built on the site of the old Bonaventure
station, is a great boon to the travelling
public, and a long -felt want. The com-
pany has already spent some 8300,000 on
this magnificent structure.
THE NSW 0. P. R. DEPOT,
situated on the corner of Windsor and
Osborne streets, is a very elegant and
massive stone struoture, and a credit to
the company. It poet about $300,600,
and is a model of mechanical skill and
artistic workmanship.
a fore of water oan be thrown up to a
height of fully 85 feet.
Tun OBEY NONNERT
is a large hospital and nunnery situated
on Guy street, and extending south to
Dorchester street, Of the size of the in.
stitntion we may form an idea that the
fact that et present it contains 130 nuns
(known as Staters of Charity), 87 novices,
and 500 inmates, while over 5,000 visite
are made anunaily to the siok and poor
of the oity, and from the Dispensary over
10,000 presoriptione are given to the poor
during each year.
NOTRE DAME C.AIHED1tAI,,
called after the Cathedral of Notre Dame
in Paris, was erected in the year 1840,
and is to -day acknowledged to be ono of
the grandest specimens of architectural
skill in America. It has a mating capac-
ity of 10,000, and can accommodate fully
15,000 between sitting and standing.
The towers are 320 feet from the ground,
in one of which an elevator and a wind-
ing staircase loads to the top, from which
a grand panoramic view of the city can
be obtained. The building is 150 feet
wide and 800 feet long.
ST. PE'TER'S CATHEDRAL,
built after a model of the famous St.
Peter's at Rome, and one-fourth of the
size, stands out with bold prominence on
Dominion Square, almost opposite the
great Windsor Hotel. This stupendous
undertaking was commenced as far back
as the year 1852, and is not expected to
be completed before tale next ten years.
Already 6500,000 hoe been expended, and
when completed it is expected that fully
62,000,000 will have been spent.
NEW YORK 0ISE INSURANCE BUILDING.
This new building, facing Place
d'Armes Square, is one of the finest and
most substantial buildiugs in Canada,
and is a great ornament to the square.
It cost 8000,000. It is eight storeys high,
besides thehasemont and cellars, and is
surmounted by s clock tower three storeys
high. Its total height, including the
tower, is 152 feet from the sidewalk. The
casement is aonstruoted of Thousand Is-
land granite, and the upper parts of
Scotch red sandstone. The building con-
tains 120 offices.
JIouNT ROYAL PARK.
One of the most important aoquieitions
for the city was the purchase, by the cor-
poration, between the years 1872 and
1875, of Mount Royal, and laying it out
with drives as a nubile park, at a cost of
nearly $1,000,000. The mountain, wbioh
stands alone in the wide river plain, is
some 550 feet in height. It is ascended
by a winding carriage road, by a series of
about 427 steps for foob passengers, by
an elevator. The winding road opens up
to the public two very beautiful vistas—
one looking down the valley of the St.
Lawrence with its many islands, and the
other giving a slew of the Lake of Two
Mountains, whilst in the far distance the
Green Mountains of Vermont and a per.
tiun of the Adirondaclts are plainly seen
on a clear day. The drive is acknow-
ledged to be as beautiful as
any park drive on the Continent of
America. The Park Commissioners,
Messrs. Villeneuve, Farrell and Wilson,
are doing all in their power to make the
park one of the most attractive raeorts to
the many thousands who annually visit
the oity.
THE MOUNTAIN PARK INCLINE RAILWAY
ie off Bleury street, and almost opposite
the Hotel Dieu Gardens. I8 Was built in
1885, is 610 feet long, with a perpendic-
ular rise of 300 feet. The fare is 5o. up
and 3o. down. The upper platform is
635 feet above the level of the river, and
from this point a magnificent view of the
city is obtained.
CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL.
This is a Protestant ]Episcopal Cathe-
dral, and is by far the most perfect spec-
imen of Gothic arobiteobure in America.
From the centre rises a tall and stately
spire, in which a large clock with four
dials has been placed.
THE WINDSOR HOTEL
was opened for the reception of guests in
February, 1877. It is situated upon the
corner of Dorchester and Peel streets,
and, in point of luxurious appliances and
magnificence in decoration and fittings,
equal, if it does not surpass, any hotel
upon the continent. It is built upon the
healthy upper plateau of the city, facing
Dominion Square, with its ample sores
of green awned, and occupies an entire
block bounded by Peel, Dorchester and
Stanley streets. The approaoh from the
railway station is direot and easy, and
the distance abort. As one draws near
the Windsor its immense proportions are
apparent. Its great height and lateral
dlmensione have pi$mied surrounding
buildings, the Dominion Square Metbo•
dist church and this St. George's church
appearing to dwindle in etatare as a com-
parison be instituted. The hotel fronts
upon Peel street, which leads directly up
to the justly celebrated Mountain Park.
It oan easily accommodate 1,000 guests.
NELSON'S MONOMRNT.
This monument, erected in 1800, to the
memory of the hero of Trafalgar, stands
in Jaoques Cartier Square. Tho menta
ment is built of limestone, and the orna.
menta are of a composition ihvented by
Code & Seely, of London, Eng., and were
exeonted by thorn. The base is square,
six and a -half feet broad on each side,
and about ten feet high. From the top
of this a circular shaft or colptnn rises
fifty feet in height and five feet in dia.
meter. It is of the Doris order, and fin.
iahed with mouldings. On the top of the
pillar ie a square tablet, the whole sure
mounted with a statue of Nelson, eight
feet in height. The principal ornaments
are in patois at the four sides of the base
or pedestal, foul are omblentalioal of the
battle of the Nile.
VICTORIA SKUAlnt,
nailed after nor Mosb Gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria, is divided into two parts.
In tate eouth•oasto•n portion a =seam
bronco states of Her Majesty was erect-
ed in the year 1872, at oust of 810,000,
A largo fountain adorns the centre Of the
aware, from which, on ri,' dean, m' on
the l'rlval of any distinguished goods,
the moot beautiful specimens of church
architecture in America. It cost over
$310,000. The organ, which coot $15,000,
is a magnificent instrument. The pastor
is the Rev. James Henderoon, a man of
great ability, and a very fluent public
speaker, He has as an asdietant the
Rey. Mr. Bowles, who id looked upon aa
one of the tieing men of the Methodist
ministry.
JESUIT molten,
This church, which is daily visited by
scores of visitors during the tourisb sea-
son, is situated on Bleury street. It is
vary elaborately fresood by roma of the
most famous painters o! Italy, and is well
worthy of a visit.
NOTRE DARE DE LOURDES,
whiob is celebrated for its richly decorat-
ed chancel, is situated on St. Catherine
Street East, and is one of the most pro-
minent of the many Catholic churches
which adorn the city.
01E Y. M. C. A. BUILDING,
on Dominion Square, erected at a coat of
fully $150,000, is another proof of the
large -hearted generosity which has at all
tines eharaoterized the citizens of Mon•
trial towards the welfare of our young
men. It is now in course of erection,
and, when finished, will rank second to
none Dither in Europe or America. It
will be fitted up with all the latest mod-
ern appliances, and will be a model of
comfort in its internal arrangements.
The hundreds of young men who annual-
ly go to the city, oft•times without a
friend, oan always depend upon reoeiving
a hearty welcome within its walls,
0110 TEMPLE BUILDINGS,
built on the site where stood for the last
half century the St. James Methodist
church, is one of the most magnificent
bnildinge in the city. It is lair] out into
offices, and is the property of the St.
James Methodist church.
T1I5 IMPERIAL INSURANCE BUILDING,
On 8t. James Street, opposite the Notre
Dame Cathedral, is another of the many
beautiful structures which already adorn
the commercial centre of the city. It is
seven storeys high, built of Canadian
limestone, highly polished, and is a fitt-
ing monument to the zeal and enterprise
of the Imperial Insurance Company.
SIR GEO. STEPHEN'S 11051DEN0E,
on Drummond street, is, without excep-
tion, one of the moat attractive of the
many private mansions. Here the scions
of many a Royal house has been most
hospitably entertained in a manner
worthy of Montreal's famous railway
magnate. It Dost over $150,000. Itis
probably uunecessary, in this brief sketch
of the city, to speak of the many noble
and princely gifts of Sir George. His
magnificent donations to the many pub-
lic charities, given in a quiet, humble
way—notably tient of the Victoria Hos.
pita)—will cause the name of the worthy
Baronet to be remembered with loving
gratitude by generations yet unborn.
RE0ID10NCE OP SIR DONALD A. SMITH,
on Dorchester street, West. The prinoe.
ly generosity of Sir Donald is famous the
world over. The Baronet is the posses-
sor of one of the finest colleotions of
paintings on this side of the water. The
works of the world's greatest masters on
marble and canvas adorn thee stately
mansion. Like Sir George Stephen, he
is one of the chief promoters and origin-
ators of the Canadian Paoiflo Railway.
EIs is an M. P. for the city of Montreal,
and enjoys the esteem and confidence of
all.
RESIDENCE OP R. D. ANGUS,
Dorchester street West. Mr. Angus is
oonneoted with the C. P. R. ; ae a man of
indomitable plucic and energy. He is
about to vacate his present residence for
one he is now building, which is to cost
6500,000.
WESLEYAN THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE,
on Universiby street, is built of out stone,
and is a very beautiful building. It cost
about 675,000. The Principal is the Rev.
Geo. Douglas, L. L. D., assisted by Prof.
Shaw, B. D.
BANK OP MONTREAL AND POST OSPccs.
Both of the above almost face on Place
d'Armes Square, and are among the most
imposing public buildings in the city.
The Bank has very recently been decor-
ated in a most lavish manner. It has the
third highest rating in the world—the
fleet being the Bank of England, the
next the Bank of France, and then the
Bank of Montreal.
THE BONSEOOURS 110130120
is one of the largest markets ;on this side
of the water. We advise the reader not
to leave the city without seeing this, es.
pecially on a market day. It is on the
river front, in the eastern portion of the
city.

GENERAL CONFERENCE.
The General Conference, which had
been in session in St. James' Church,
Montreal, since the 10th September,
closed its labors Tuesday 30th at mid.
night, Great aneroid; was manifested
in the deliberatione of this, the legis.
lative body of the church, in as much
as its jurisdiction reaobee from the At.
]antic to the Paoiflo and beyond to Japan
on the west and Newfoundland on the
eaet, and its members Dame from every
eeotion of the work.
The attendance tbrougout the session
was remarkably good. The delegates,
both clerical and lay, devoted themselvoe
faithfully to their duties, A few were
compelled to absent themselves part of
the time, owing to various unforseen
causes, but it is questionable whether at
any former general conference there has
been is better average attendance. The
conference held throe sessions daily at
the commencement and at the close, and
during the interval two sessions, besides
numerous committee meetings, some of
which met within a short time of the
close of the conference.
The personnel of the General Conference
is creditable to the great church repre-
sented. In the ministerial ranks are
scores of presidents and ex.presidents,
Deere are also chancellors of universities,
presidents and professsors of the various
coinages of the church and many of the
brightest pulpit lights at the Dominion.
The laymen oomprise ex•Lieut..Gov.
ernore, judges, senators, members of
parliament, Q. 0's. from every province,
here and there a well known physician,
educationists, numerous journalists, and
many of the prominent and successful
business men and agriculturists of the
country.
The presiding officer, Rev. Dr. Comma,
is a man whose executive ability is ma
equalled in the connexion, and great
credit is due him for the manner in
which he conducted the business. He
was always prompt in bis rulings, and
during the entire session there was no
occasion to appeal from any of its de-
cisions. Dr. Carman has a good voice,
perhaps the strongest in the Conference,
a mind as quick as a flash, and any man
taking the floor out of order, be he great
or small, of high or low degree, is
promptly ruled out, and many of theee
swollen with the importance of their de-
legation found it hard to yield to his in-
flexible will. Dr. Carman's term of
office as General Superintendent con.
Hones for another quadrennium.
In the tranenetion of the business
coming before the conference it was re-
markable how very conservative the de-
legates were, and in no respect was this
more noticeable than in the election of
General Conference officers, for, not-
withstanding the ominous murmurings
in some quarters that certain officers
"must go," all were re-elected. Rev. Dr.
Briggs, the papular and successful Book
Steward, will continue to make the
Methodist Book and Publishing House,
at Toronto, a worthy and popular institu-
tion of the church, and Rev. S. F. Hues -
tis, the able Secretary of General Oon•
ference, retains ]tie position as Book
Steward ab Halifax. Dr. Detvart remains
editor of the "Christian Guardian," Dr.
Withrow editor of the "Methodist
Magazine" and Sunday school publics.
tions, and Dr. Lathern editor of the
"Wesleyan." Dr. Potts oontinues secre-
tory of Education, and the Hon. Sena-
tor -Sanford, remains at his post as gen•
era] treasurer, and Rev. Jas. Gray is
permitted to guard the interests of the
Superannuation and general oonferenoe
funds. Rev. Dr. A. Sutherland returns
by acclamation to his post as missionary
secretary and the Hon. J. 0. Aikine
takes the place so long held by the late
Hon. John Macdonald as treasurer of the
Missionary Society. All are good man
and true and the interests of the various
departments which they represent may
safely be entrusted to their oars.
Memorials praying for changes of al.
most every conceivable character in the
govend
es of the church
wererflodedntnent inframaevery annual con.
ferenee, but an onlooker wocvld have sup-
posed that there was not a. reformer in
the conference, or else they were satisfied
there was nothing to reform. The
changes in the discipline are little more
than verbal alterations in the phrased.
logy. The committee on the disbiplins,
while carefully considering every memo•
rial and recommendation submitted to
them, almost in every instance recons.
mended no charge. In one respect, how-
ever, the disoipline will be vastly im.
proved. The editors have been instrnot•
ed to arrange under each departmenb all
matters relating thereto in any way, so
that hereafter every paragraph and 800.
tion affection circuits will be found under
that heading. and so on to districts, an•
nual..conferenoea, eto.
choke, but all will agree that wise selec-
tions were made. Dr, Potts goes to Eng.
land and Ireland, Wesleyan and other
Metbodist conferences, Dr, Carman to
the Methodist lrpiaoappal thumb and Dr.
Sutherland to the Methodist "episcopal
Chetah South. As the Presbyterian
General Assembly sant a delegation to
the General Conference, so the Confer.
once reciprocated and appointed the Rev.
A. Langford, Dr. Burns and Dr. Lovell
to convey their greetings to the Presby-
terian
resbyterian church, Rev. Peter Addison was
eleoted delegate to the British Methodist
Episcopal church.
During the tension warm invitations
were received from the various institu-
tions of bhe city offering receptions and
hospitality to the Conference as a body,
and to delegates individually. The Con-
ference visited McGill University and
Wesleyan Tbeologioal College, in the
parlors of which, after addresses by
men of learning they were entertain-
ed by the elite of Montreal Methodism
to a toobhsome lunch and had the
pleasure of being presorted to Sir Wm.
Dawson and other celebrities. The
citizens of Montreal evinced the greatest
interest in the proceedings of the Confer.
enae, and every afternoon and evening
the galleries were lined with a brilliant
array.
Pia next General Conference was
ordered to be held as near as possible to
the first Wednesday in September, 1894,
and present indications are that it will
be held in Winnipeg.
The reporb of the Statistical committee,
which was adopted, gave the following
figures :—Ministers and probationers,
1,748 ; members, 233,808 ; baptisms,
1880.90, 73,374 ; marriages, 30,000 ;
burials, 41,000 ; Sunday schools, 3,173 ;
officers and teachers, 28,411 ; scholars,
226,050 ; average attendance, 129,811;
volumes in library, 217,388 ; churches,
8,092 ; parsonages, 967 ; burial grounds,
1,117 ; total value of ohurch property,
$11,597,491 ; amount of insurance, $442,
600 ; raised during the quadrenntum for
ministers' support, $0,771,941 ; for mis-
sions, $867,086 ; total amount raised by
the church for all purposes, $8,063,967.
The Conference deoided to adopt a
uniform rule of church services, as fol-
lows :—The morning service should open
with doxology, followed by a hymn and
prayer. Then should be sang the anthem
or hymn, followed by the lessons—one
from the Old and one from the New
Testament. Another hymn should be
sung, and then the sermon, followed by
prayer. Theo is to come the collection,
followed by a few moments of silent
prayer. The evening service is left, as at
present, to the pastor's choice.
Mrs. Ross, representing the W. F. M.
S., submitted the quadrennial report of
the society, wbich stated that there was
much cause for thanksgiving, advance-
ment having been made in membership,
missions and missionaries. Four years
ago there were 8,1545 members, as com-
pared with over 8,000 now. In 1886 there
were 1,486 members of mission bands ;
now there were over 4,000. In
1885-6 there were raised $11,639 ; this
year the amount oat over $2.2,000.
There had been raised during the quad-
rennium over 8110,000. In looking over
the various mission fields there was
much reason for gratitude and encourage.
ment. The report then went on to give
an account of the work done by the
moiety in Japan, China, the French
werk, and the work among the Indians.
The St. Thomas City Council ]las de -
aided to purchase Aubert's grove for a
park, appointed Lachlin Campbell tax
oollaotor, and accepted the offer of Tbos.
Williams to purchase $5,500 frontage de-
bentures ab par.
The dwelling -home and contents of
Hattie Wright, an aged negress of Inger.
soil, were destroyed by fire the other
night. Nearly every house which this
woman has oonpied for many years past
has had the misfortune to become a
victim of spontaneous combustion.
Anotheredivoroe application has been
filed at Ottawa for next seesjon. It is
that of Mrs. Mahala Ellis, of Toronto,
for a bill of divorce from her husband,
Chas. Shuttleworth Ellis, of Toronto,
commercial traveller, on the grounds of
adultery and cruelty. Owing to the late
period at which the application is filed it
will bo April before the. Senate Commit.
tee oan take up the ease, six months'
005100 being required.
A St. Louie deopatah says that on Aug.
16th last Edward Harlan, the oarsman,
placed a forfeit of $250 in The New York
Clipper office for a sautling raoe with
Jacob Gaudaur, to tette plaos on Crave
Coeur Lake. Gandanr covered the for.
felt and left the choice of a ditto between
Sept. 28 and Sept. 30, to Elitnlien. The
latter not appeeriug or even giving any
reason for his %bronco, Gaudaur will now
claim the forfeit.
The lour ,year old daughter of Joseph
Johnson, Niagara street, ova fabebly

mother, who WAS in 00 yard, uttering
Owning screams. The mother succeeded

ing iet'rililo agony during that timo.
Sirs. Johnson lost a child by falling clown
etah's two years 1130 and n amt by dr awn.
log abnn1 two menthe nee.
On the whole, the conference was very
harmonious. Every man spoke without
tear, and all were 000rteoae one to an-
other. The great college federation
question was settled by an overwhelming
majority. The pastoral term of three
years, which many were clamorous to
oh.tnge to tour or five years, remains as
before. bey feasible scheme for changing
the method of raising the superannuation
fuud was presented and the fund remains
on the old basis. The demand for the
extension of the boundaries of annual
conference was not entertained and with
one alight change the former relations
continue. There was leas contention for
lay representation on the stationing com-
mittee than the events of the past four
years would warrant one to anticipate,
and the composition of this important
committee continues to be exclusively
mfnlstorial. Ofileiel Boards will, hots.
