[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. x108 1010 PALLOR is usually emoted on Dominion Square, and is built of huge blocks of ice. No wood of any kind es need in 1tC', construe. tion. It has a grand effect when illum- inated with the oleatrio light. Ae this is a geru:bure which is not made to stand the weather, the reader can only gaze upon it when the thermometer drops a good deal below zero. MCGILL COLLEC0, PRE000008IAN 000• LEGE, &0. Both o! the above magnificent build. Inge are built on the elope of the moun- tain. Here have graduated some of the elevereet men in the arta and soiesoes, as well as the legal and medical professions. The Wesleyan Theological College is in the same grounds. MONTREAL OOLLR012, SHER IROOKE ST. W11ST, Tltis is a very large Roman Catholio College and Seminary, and is situated on what 1s commonly galled "'The Priests' Fenn. There is a beautiful ohapel, well worthy of inspeotion. The grounds and gaiden attached to the Seminary ata beautifully laid out with flowers and Luis true. 0111t NEW J1101110D150 t'ItOttCH, This liendeome and stately edilleo, pro. bably one of the finest and most costly of any Methodist ehnroh in oho world, is altnetod on St. Catherine street nom' to the large granite bleak of II. Morgan & Co. It lute a seating oapacity el fully 2,100, and is aelinOwledged 10 he ons of 15111 OONOREOAT1nNAL COLLEGE is situated on McTavish street, and is a monument to the energy and persever- ance of the late Dr. Wilkes. Dr. Barbour is the Principal. 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 burned on Saturday night. The little girl's clothes bocanlo ignited by matohes she was striping. She then Part to her mother, who WAS in 00 yard, uttering Owning screams. The mother succeeded ni exbingnishing the flames, but the chilli diad twenty-four hour's after, suffer.. 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. ever, hereafter have the right to appear before the Stationing Committee through 01113 OI' two rept''ossnttttives. Roes ; ram lamb, H. ,toss, T. Anderson aged ewes, H.
