L. 8 , of Toronto, in surveying the townehipe of Werk and Kidd, in the Dletriot of Algoma, theft Ifeogrephieel poeiliou being about 12 or 15 miles from the boundary of Algoma and Nipiseiug. Enjoying our chat with Mr. Creme we decided to reproduce some of the interest. ing items for the benefit of our readers. Thie was Mr. Orerar's second visit to =oh the came territory ea that he was bather able to speak positively than from a ones) vi -it. There were 17 in the oompany that lett Toronto on Jane 20th, but it was reduced to 12 by the leaving of hatfbreede and one white man. Ar. relying al Biso•', 160 milee Weet of North [lay on C. P.

P . R and 20 miles South of the new Grand Tronk Pacific to be built. The river trip is not as tiresome as making the portages to avoid the rapids and oaeoadas or the mare toilsome trip into the interior worrying your outfit on your back, for 6 or 7 miles as was the ease with Mr, Crerar. The unibiated wonid have little idea ae to what was necessary to take on a 2 to 4 months' jaunt of this kind. 01 acorea there were tents, blankets, cook- ing utensils, &te and the provision list consisted of the following in part ;- 1500 pounds flour ; 200 pounds Davies' cured pork ; 200 lbs. (tanned sausage ; 50 ibe, jam ; dried frost, 150 lbs. of apples 75 of prunes and 75 of peaches ; 800 tbs. sugar ; tea and coffee ; oondeueed cream ; 40 or 50 own. of breakfaet bacon, &o. &0. These artialee were distributed among tbs five canoes on the water trip. A cook was one of the oompany--ibe moat important—and served a good supply and after tramping the sonntry all day there was little urging regnired to get people to eat the meals. Breakfast was served at 5.80 a. m. the man took lunch with them to their work and ate it at 11 a. m. and endeavored to get back to camp about 6 p. In. when a good copper was ready. The cook stayed at the damp. He baked bread and biscuits and did it well. The country is all right, clay soil, level land, covered with email p01p wood, and well watered. There are no rooks, and tillage should not be difficult as timber will be easily 'sleeted and will find eale when the new railway gets through as. it will be floated down the river to shipping point. Werk and Kidd townships will be opened for settlement alter reports are completed and adopted by the Govern- ment. There is an abundent supply of wild fruit lush as raspberries, strawberriee, currants, gooeebereiee and huckleberries. Moose and bear are plentiful but red deer entree. Beaver is Been in many places and a few otter. The rivers are well etooked with fish. Pew birds are to be seen. The sprue partridge makes good eating in the Fall. They are tame and can be killed with a etiok. Wild dnoke are also to be found bubnot eo tame as the partridge. Climate ie fine but seasons are very eber0. There was front before the party completed tneir work. There is no surveying done on Sunday and the day while not able to attend church, is spent in reading and rest, White people are seldom seen unless it be a enrveytng party. Neither eioknese nor naoident marred the trip, Some deeming sseoery is to be found as little laked abound in some localities, Kebogimtsi lake Is 80 miles long, and about 12 mules wide. It is really an ex• minden of the river Ma00egami. There is considerable (torrent in some of the river and under favorable einem etanaee from 30 to 40 miles may be nude in a day's paddling if not too many portages.

M.LOTFIROP Show, by Wow., Phaco, JACOlt COULD SOHURMAN The President of Cornell University When Jacob Gould Schurman was a boy on his father's backwoods farm on Prince Edward Island, where he was born in 1854, educational advantages were scant in quality and costly in time and energy. Books were few, the one newspaper that connected the family with, the outside world was but a provincial weekly, and the district school was taught by one teacher who gave the staple things of education, with no fancy dishes of the modern class, When Jacob was thirteen he had to become self-supporting, and secured a clerkship of the general utility type in a country store at thirty dollars, a year and his board and washing. In his second year he received sixty dollars, and with this coming of wealth came a longing for a better education. In two years he bad saved eighty dollars and with this as a bulwark against starvation he attended the village high school, studied voraciously day and night and entered a competitive examination for a scholarship at Prince of Wales College at Charlottetown, on the island, He won the scholar- ship of sixty dollars and went to the college. Tben after a year of teaching he went to Acadia College, where his appetite for price -winning became in- satiable. He won a scholarship of $500 a year for three years offered by the University of London, followed by his winning the traveling fellowship of the Hibbert Society, and other prizes, scholarships and similar rewards, with predestined certainty and monotonous iteration. He studied In London, Paris, Edinburgh, Berlin, Gottingen, and half a 'dozen other cities, and when six or seven nations had given him all they could supply but not nearly all he could absorb, he returned to Canada as professor in one of the colleges. In 1885, Andrew D. 'White recommended him to Cornell, and the year following, at the age of thirty-two, he became head of the Department of Philosophy; in 1891 was made Dean of the Sage School of Philosophy, and) in 1892 he received the degree of Doctor of Laws from Edinburgh University and became President of Cornell, being the only man even considered for a moment for the position. Dr. Schurman is remarkable as a lecturer, broad and liberal as a teacher, searching for truth with his students rather than giving them his opinions as finalities; sincere and thorough as an investigator; clear, eloquent and effective as an orator; simple and direct as an author; and as a man, popular, ;magnetic, sympathetic, sterling' and broad -gauge. catered according to Act of Mc Pe llamonl of Oanada, to the year 1904, by w, 0.

It would be didinult to prognosticate as to the new country but the probabili ties are that Maida of the next 6 years forward steps will be taken as many of the difficulties of pioneer life will never have to be encountered there as were met with in other Bothnia. What it regairse are publio facilities for travel and an industrioplt olaoe of )tattlers. Mr. Orerar will go baok to Toronto next month assuming to all probability a Feilowehip in Surveying, demonstrating the praatical work in the School of Solemn, in whittle inetruotion what he bas seen end experienoed will be of real value to bin.
