The Commencement of the Rideau
Canal.
In' 1827 Col. By-passed up to commence
the. Rideau Canal. The costly work made
no small stir on the hitherto quiet Ottawa.
The em bryo town, bearing the Colonel's
name,grew apace. The construction and
trade of the canal, the fast settling of the
surrounding country, and the increased ex-
tent of the lumber trade, united to push By -
town rapidly forward. An interesting. in-
cident connected with the first flight of locks
ascending from the Ottawa, is the fact that
the renowned Sir John Franklin laid the
foundation. stone. Sir John, happening to
pass on one of his overland trips northward
was assigned the honor. Lady Franklin,
when in Ottawa, in 1861, was shown the
stone her lamented husband had laid so
long before.
During the progress of the canal, the de-
mand for farm produce was great, and prices
ranged high. The settlers along the river
felt the benefit. Clarence improved rapidly;
settlers came in fast; and those previously
located improved in circumstances. The
blessing of a day school was- added to the
Sabbath school. A church, received fre-
quent additions, watched over by Mr. Ed-
wards, was exerting a beneficial influence
on the whole community.
Tisen cessityfor manual labor, on the part
of Mr. Edwards, being lessened, he devoted
his time more fully to ministerial work.
Not having been hitherto.formally designat-
ed to the charge of ac°hurch, be was, in 1831
ordained. About that time, an Act 14
passed in Upper Canada, .to ;_enable other
than Episcopal and Presbyterian l iristers
to marry. Mr. Edwards took advantage of -
the la*, and supplied a want long felt.
_Previously, candidates for wedlock had, to
make lorig journeys, or content themselves
with the services of a magistrate.
Many amusing anecdotes might be told
of the doings of some of the J.P's., in early
days, in the back woods, both in their style
of tying matrimonial knots and administer-
ing justice. Nice points of law were not
studied ; in fact some of their worships were
a law unto themselves. One of - these, an
old officer, who had served under Welling
ton and loved dispatch, would put up a no-
tice on a Saturday, stating " This is the first
second and third time of calling," and mar-
ry the couple on the following Monday.—
Any case in the whole calendar civil or
;criminal, he would take hold of --breaches
of promises ; or cases of debt, d' ust as readily
as breaches of the peace.
A Little Heroine.
Some two or three weeks since the pro-
pellor Fountain City had a narrow escape
from being burned, on her downward trip
from Buffalo. The Erie Republican says :—
The particulars of the case, which we be-
lieve have not been published, were furnish-
ed by a gentleman of this city. It appears
that a Mrs. Fannie Lamb who resides a
short distance fro' Chicago, took passage
far Buffalo, on board the Fountain_City,
taking her daughter Annie, a child twelve
ears of age, with her. The day after the
departure of the boat, the little girl going
into the kitchen, remarked that the stove
smoked considerably, to which the cook re-
plied that she was mistaken. The child
had heard her mother often say that she
dreaded going on a boat for the fear of fire.
With another look at the place where the
smokeseered to come from, she discovered
that it did not issue from the stove. Going
on deck, she discovered the wood -work
around the smoke -stack on fire, and the
flames just eating their way into the cabin.
Without giving any general alarm, she
went to the steward and told him the boat
was on fire. He informed the mate, who
called the deck hands aft, and they extin-
guished the fire without one of the passen-
gers being aware that anything of the kind
had occurred. There were twenty-two la-
dies sitting on the deck in the bow of the.
boat, among them the mother of Annie,
while this was going on. After the work
had been done, Annie went to her mother
and said, "Don't be frightened, mother;
the boat has been" on fire, but it is all over
now." The Captain was so greatly pleased
with the cool, calm and quiet manner in
which the child performed her part, that he
refunded the passage money of both mother
and daughter, and offered to take them back
to Chicago free of -charge. It was a brave
act to say the least, and had she screamed
"
Fire!" as most persons would have done,
with so many ladies on board, the conse-
quences might have been of a very serious
nature. She deserves a handsome testimo-
nial of some kind.

The New French Ministry.
Count de Palikao—Gen. Charles Guillau-
me Marie Cousin de Montauban—the new
Minister of War, was born in 1796, and
was employed at an early age in Algiers,
where he distinguished himself as a cavalry
officer. He advanced through successive
grades to General of brigade in 4851. In
1860 he was invested with the chief com-
mand of the French expedition in- China,
and there achieved a series of victories.
The capture of the forts of Takou at the
mouth of the Peiho ; the great victory over
the Chinese forces on the 21st of September;
the destruction of the Imperial Palace, and
entry of the French army into Pekin on the
12th of October, were among the important
affairs in which he shared While in command
of the French army in China. He was li-
berally rewarded on his return to : France,
receiving the title of Count from one of his
Chinese victories at Pali-kao. In 1860,
when the Grand Cross Was conferred on
him, he could count forty two years of ac-
tive service and twenty-eight campaigns.
Admiral Rigault de;Genouilly, the Mm -
iter of Marine, has been in the naval ser-

vice for 42 years, and commanded a detach-
ment of marines during the Beige of Sebas-
topool. In 1860 he entered the Senate,
and has since distinguished himself by tak-
ing an active part in administrative affairs
and in 1 867 was appointed Minister of Ma-
rine. 'luring the illness of the late Mar-
shall` l` be was temporal ily in charge of
the 'N Department. He is regarded as
an able authority upon all matters connect-
ed with 'the naval service, and as practical;
ly conversant with the. important changes
introduced during the last decade.
Pierre Mayne, the Minister of Finance,
has given evidence of great administrative
ability, and was Minister of France from
1854 to 1860. He was previously in the,
Constituent a nd Legislative Assemblies,
and was appointed Minister of Public
Works in 1.851, He did not occuf y a lead-
ing position as a debater, but his practical
speeches were listened to with attention.
Beton Jerome David, the Minister of
Public Works, entered the naval service at
an early age, but after wards joined the ar-
my and served in, Africa and the Crimea.
He entered the Corps Legislatif in 1859,
and has since been several times re-elected
as a Government candidate. He was Viee-
Pi esident of the Corps Legislatif during the
sessions of 1867-8 and. 9. He has been
prominent in debate, and when M. Schnei-
der last year resigned his position as Presi-
dent, on account of the reappointment of
Baron David to the Vice -Presidency; the
Emperor personally intervened and tes-
tified his esteem for the Baron, and desire
to have hire continue in that position.
Henri Cheveau, the Minister of Interior
has been for some time designed for i hat
pbsition. He has almost, since his entry
into public life, been known . as an 'active
and al dent supporter of Napoleon's interests
even during the coup d'etat. . He has in
consequence been lioerally rewarded.
Jules Favre, theiMinister of Public In-
struction, represents a Northern District in
the Corps Legislatif, and is remarkable as
an ardent Protectionist and advocate of the
rights of labor.
Clement Duveruois, the Minister of Com-
merce, has been recently conspicuous in
French journalism by his servile subservi-
ency to the Emperor, whose views he was
regarded as expressing in the Peuple Fran-
cais. He recently retired from that jour-
nal. Many political pamphlets have been
written by; him in the interests of imperial-
ism.
Prince De la Tour D'Auvergne is a mem-
ber of an ancient Vendean family, and has
been engaged in the diplomatic service for
about ten years. He was Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs in 1869, but retired on the for-
niaLioa of the 011ivier Cabinet. He has
since acted as French Ambassador, and is
regarded as identified with the Clerical Dar-
ty.

The Late Governor McTavish.
In our obituary of yesterday would be
noticed the death of the late Governor of
Rupert's land. Apart from the interest
which recent,events in the domain of the
late Governor, have led us to take in all.
that concerns that country, it may be inter-
esting to note a few facts in regard to Mr.
McTavish's career in the Company's service.
He entered at about the age of 16, and
while quite young obtained the rank- of
Chief Trader. At the age of 26, he was ap-
pointed to the charge of York Factory, the
principal Fort in the Northern Department.
While Sir George Simpson was Governor,
Mr. McTavish was removed from York Fac-
tory to Fort Garry,which,.from the rapidly
increasing business, bad become a more im-
portant point than York. -On the 'death of
Sir George • Simpson Mr. McTavish virtual-
ly succeeded him, Mr. Dallas receiving the
nominal title of governor. On Mr• Dal-
las' retirement, Mr. McTavish received the
actual appointment, and retained it until
his death. A great deal has been said as
to Mr. McTavish's-sympathies with the re-
bels in Red River, but from what we know
from our correspondents in that quarter,
we feel assured that the late Governor was
too unwell to use - his ordinary influence
with the malcontents, but that if he bad
been able to say or do anything in favour
of the peaceable transfer he would undoubt-
edly have done so both in the interests of
the Company and in that of Canada. Mr.
McTavish was, we believe, a man of much
ability, great energy, and . indefatigable
where work was concerned. His loss will
be much felt both by the Board in London
and by his fellow partners in the interior.

DR. L1VINoSTONE'S FATE.—A letter has
been received from a lady now sojourning
in Syria, which assumes to shed some ` new
light on the mysterious detention of Dr.
Livingstone in Africa. The writer made
the acquaintance of Captain Burton, British
Consul at Damascus, a man noted for his
travels both in the Old and New World,
and in a position to be well informed as to
the tribes of Central Africa, and Dr. Liv-
ingstone's adventures among them. He
says the Dr.'s recent stay of years ,or
thereabouts, like all other troubles, had a
woman at the bottom of it. He was first
persuaded, much against his will, to marry
a rude and .blustering native princess, and
when he afterwards proposed to leave Mrs.
Livingstone, in order to .prosecute further
his topographical investigations, his fond
father-in-law and mother-in-law interposed
such strong objections, that he was virtual-
ly held a prisoner, and thus it happened
that, the honeymoon was so outrageously
prolonged,:.. The Captain says the ° reason
this fact has never been made public is, that
the Dr.'s friends, feeling outraged by ' this
transaction, have succeeded until recently •
in keeping it secret. The letter. adds, that
" Captain Burton himself married the hand-
somest lady in England," so that he can ? Seaforth, Jan. 28th,1870: : 52-1y.
hardly be moved -with envy toward his fel-
low traveller, and as he speaks fourteen dif-
ferent languages, his capacity for telling the
truth would be considerable.—Detroit Post.
