It Is in these words that Parkman begins the wonderful story of the true settlement of CaniMl», bat before Champlain, and therefore befo re there was Canatia, there was a Tadonsac. Eight years before Champlain and Pontgrave, his mer- chanta ssociate, appeared upon liie scene, a colony of rongh nahermen had been formed there and a large and lucrative fur trade was being done. These men wintered there, died fast of the scurvy, not knowing how to make s^mw b9«r, lAi otitsrt took thsk piaoM. When Pcaitgr ave, Mme'ttme liefore Champlaini appeared iix the Bay of Tadonsac and Worked his ship areand La Pointe lea Tons lea Diables, or La Poiate Aux Kochers, he found a sturdy Basque trader already there, and what was worse, the Basque was trading with the Indians very largely. Pontgrave displayed the King's royal deed of monopoly to the Basques, but these people refased to see the beauty of monopoly, and for the first time in the history of Canada WHITE HAH FOUGHT WHITK HAN and the frowning gorge of the Saguenay re-echoed the roar of cannon.. The Basques were triumphant and when on that fateful 3rd of June Champlain swept into the little bay he found his coUeas^e a prisoner. A truce was signed after a diplomatic con- ference and the Basques gave up the fur trade and betook themselves to catching whales. Near the brink of the little cove or barber where the vessels lay, now called L'Anae a L'£au, Champlain found the remains of a wooden building, the only fragment of a dwelling built by white tai in all the broad north land. Above the brook which forms the outlet of that black lake, which now charms and chills summer visitors, were the lodges of a band of Alc;onquins. The wood- en bintding was re-built, and while Pont- grave commenced to trade, Champlain went on te the grandeur of Quebec, the loveliness of Mount Royal, to befriend the Huron and fight the Iroquois, and to begin in very fact that New France that was to extend across the continent. While Quebec was being founded and fought for by soldiers, and Montreal was being built to shelter the holy nuns, Tadonsac was the "commercial metropolis" of Canada. Here, amid the desolation of the barren mountains and the black water, the untamable wildness of the spot where THE BABE SKELETON OF THE CONTINENT is revealed, a regular market was first opened in Canada. The fur dealers came yearly from France and the Indians as regularly descended the Saguenay and the St. Lawarence to the meeting place. For a few months the lonely bay was thronged with the wildest of civilized and the wild- est of savage men. The Algonquin Indians, with whom the Basques were trading when Pontgrave made his appearance, became the middlemen between the French and the distant tribes of Indians, and they brought to Tadonsac the spoils of the chase from Hudson Bay to the great lakes. A third class, who in the early history of Canada, were always to be found with if not before the fur traders, also came to Tadonsac, the missionary priests who came to gather in a harvest of souls, not of furs, and finding the Indians could not be induced to locate themselves at Tadonsac, they followed them into the forest. A Jesuit convent was built at a very early date, and it is said that the first atone house ever built in Canada was built here. A small resident papulation grew about tiie convent, for it was profitable to be on hand to buy before the ships cama in the spring; but the place was a trading station and nothing more, unt'l the church of the Recollects, the first church in Canada, was erected. Champlain appeared at Tadou- aac in 1608, and it is probable the church was erected about forty years after. The present building was built in 1747, but it IS merely the second or third building which has atood upon the foundations of the first cfaurdi. The church was the centre of the settlement, the home church of the first missionaries, the one thing in the world which brought to the roueh traders a memory of the old. The setuement pros- pered, finding commerce a better stay than Quebec found inarms, and the annual ships from France discharged all their cargoes at this point. The export of furs was large, the DeCaen monoply taking 22,000 heavy skins out o' the port in one season. In 1629 David Kirk, with six large ships partially manned with Huguenot refugees, sailed into the bay of Tadonsac, and seized poeaession of it in the name of His Britannic Majesty. The fleet lay there CROUCHING FOR THEIR PBEV until the suls of the annual spring fleet rose above the St. Lawemce. Then they sloped their cables and swooped down upon Hm advanoing fleet. The overcrowded transport stood no ohanoe against such a fleet as Kirk's and the UUes of France went down before tiie red cross for the first time OK the St. Lawemce. The rescuing «t captured, Qnebec was left to starvation sod the English. On the 20th of July: the red cross waved over Qnebec for the first time and shortiy after the Enj^ish fleet, on board of which was Champlain, the Jesuits and the garrlsoH of Quebec, gatiiered In Tadonsac. Kirk had captured^ eighteen French ships and nineteen fiisMns vessels, but his booty was not large, and as the enterprise of the conquest d Canada had been undertaken at lus own cost he was somewhat morose. At any late he seems to have given to Champlain a sufficient number of things to grumble at, and indeed the great plonoer seems tx have groaned and smmbbd at hia treatment, his bed and his food, to an extent that must have irade him a serious trial to his captors. Kirk tried trading with the Indiana, fiafalng and hunting, aad. aa the fall drew near he burned the church and village and aet aaO for England. In 1832 De Caen anchored before Quebec, and tiie fortreaa waa amreodered to him by Thomaa Kirk, who had held it aince 1628. From that time onward the Frendi ahips came to Quebec, not Tadonsac, and the fur toade soon ascoided the rivw to Montreal. Tadonaao became a filling and a mission station, the one ^ot on the lower river where a drarcfa tower rose, and It Is now the qnaiatsst seaside resort m Canada.

"No, sir I'm ail wone," answered EU«- abeth, gravely.

The man looked at her for a momeat, from widely open eyes then, with perhaps "as much surprise at himself as at her, he began to munch the bread and butter, and finished it to the last crumb.

The man stared at her again, Elizabeth calmly returning his gaze. Then he broke into a laugh. " Well, if you aint the gamest chicken I ever see " he said, and walked away. Elizabeth went back to her contemplation of the humming-birds. Next day the tramp was arrested for robbery in a farmhouse near by, the deed having been committed that very Sunday forenoon.

F. Bowe, of nntington, had for more than three years 'been a bedridden invalid. She suffered from nervous prostration, was partial^ paralysed and was even too aick to feed herself. Her physicians told her that death waa rapidly approaching. On the afternoon of Saturday, June l8, a few Mends came over from the prayer- meeting at the church and prayed for her recovery. She grew stronger and heart- ier every day, and seems to be entirely well. Mrs. Walter Meade, the wife of an Adrain drayman, had been confined to her bed for several years with chronic diseases. A short time ago an Internal abscess began to sap her remaining strene;th and her case was abandoned as hopeless. At last the physi- cian told her that at the utmost she could live only two days. Mrs. Meade prayed earnestly that night to be restored to health and awoke refreshed. New life seemed to course through her veins and she grew stronger every hour. The abscess' dried up and disappeared, the other ailments depart- ed and Mrs. Meade is now well. Besides that, her husband, long a scoffer at religion, is now a devout church-goer. Thomas Bedow, an AJI ghany City black- smith, lost the use of his legs two years ago, and his physician told him that he was af- flicted with an incurable case of paralysis. He tried every known kind of treatment in vain and then resigned himself to his fate. Last week Mr. Bedow read an account of a remarkable cure wrought by faith, and when he went to bed that night he prayed long and earnestly that he might recover. The moment, he awoke in the morning he felt that he was cured. He sprung n'om bed, danced about the floor, jumped into his clothing and ran downstairs, shouting all the time like a madman. Before ending his antics he ran about the yard several times to test his new-found strength. Mr. Bedow says he hasn't been so well for twenty years as he is now. ,, j,.^ V itWt, proofs are gHsm a. tiie hereditary c^ ,*n«terof the mental dis- Mse which afll ^.e^d the Imperial fanuly of ^^^ t,^ the sons of dMirPaul L, like jwat ?nh8' .moaareh^ himself, wJML.JKas mnrdere" /glsoi, became subject to fits of 'ffâ„¢*'./. -Paul L bad four sonsâ€" Czar ^*^' .tfider I., the Grand Duke Constantine, V? vr Ntcolaa L, and the «rand T)uke ^ehad. Every one of them, after his forty- fifth year, exhibited undoubted signs of menttd' derangement. -This was net fnlly discovered in the case of Nicolas I. uatil after the Czar's death. Ah English phy- ucian, however, the Count says, noticed the appearance of the hereditary disease in the Czar as early as July, 185 i, and he then predicted that the monarch had not more than two years of life before him. This he stated in a letter to Lord Palmeraton. The Emperor Nicolas died in March, 1855, about four months earlier than the date predicted. The Count appears to have no doubt that the Crimean war, so far as it depended on Nicolas was the rash act of a ruler " whose mental eqtupoise was disturbed," None of the four sons of Paul I. lived to be sixty years of age, and every one of them sufierea w)m «pn«ussioa pf the brain after reaching his forty-fifth year. Alexander died at forty -eight, a mtaerable man, moody and despondent, aa Prince Mettemich has painted him, "tired of ex- istence." His brother, the Grand Duke Constantine, though not manifestly insane, gave frequent signs of mental disturbance, of which he was nimself so plainly conscious that he did not think himself fit to be trust- ed with the reins of government. His con- duct in the year 1830, at the outbreak of the revolution in Warsaw, will remain to prove his mental unsoundness. He had to be intrusted to the care of his wife, the Princess Lowicz, who was cautioned in the same way as is a physician in charge of a patient havintr intermittent fits of insanity. He died in his fifty-second year from con- gestion of the brain. The Grand Duke Michael was killed by a fall from his horse at the age of forty-eight. Some years be- fore his death he had exhibited signs of un- doubted mental disease, and his physicians declared that he was on the road to certain insanity. The events of 1848-52 were not calculated to allay the hereditary disposi- tions of the imperial family of Russia, but to excite and intensify them. There is something terrible in the contrast between the outward position of the Czar Nicolas, upon the bent of whose will the fate of so' many millions in Europe was depending, and the alleged diseased inward condition of his mind. re- Jubilee Jogs.

A Nashville lady dreamed one night cently that her old school friend, whose bridesmaid she had been at her wedding to a Virginia planter a year before, had died suddenly and that she was present at the funeral. The lady related the dream to her family, and refused to be convinced that it was not a premonition of death. A week later a delayed letter reached the lady in- forming her that her friend had died at about the same time with the occurrence of the dream. At a recent seance in Cleveland a Iklrs. Moss related how she had been forewarned of the death of her husband's sister Maggie. The two women had been warm friends, but had not seen each other for years but last week, while Mrs. Moss was alone in her room, her sister-in-law appeared before her and after speaking affectionately to her kissed her and departed. Mra. Mosa was much distnbed by the Visitation, and tele- graphed to learn If ber sister-in-law was ill. She was not surprised to receive a letter the next morning announcing that Maggie was dead. Louisa Bonn, the daughter of a laborer in Wednesbnrgj England, made up her mind to emigrate to Australia, and gained the consent of her parents. Just before she was to sail, however, her mother drMmed that the ship which was to carry her daughter stmck a rock near the Australian coast and went down with ^reat loss of life. She suc- ceeded In dissuading Louisa from going, but not until the girl's baggage had been placed on board the vessel and every preparation madjB for her departure. The ship went down, as Mrs. Bonn had imagined it would and among the lives lost were those of several ^Is who were to have hem Louisa's companions. Little iU^es Bookley, a policeman's daughter of Newbaiyport, who died recent ly, had a strong realization of her appioaohr ing death, although the fdiysiciansnad not given her up. (^ the afternoon of the day she died she called her mother to the bed- dde to make arrangements for the funeral, and annonnoed tiiat she had only a minute or two lonser to live. Just then the gate clicked and she heard her father's footsteps oomiiag up the mdk. Raising herself in bed with her remaining strength tiie chfld cried ont " Hnny up, m^a. 111 wait a minute for you." The agonized fatiier heard the cry and rushed i^^e stairs to the bedroom. He had barely time to take his daughter in his ann8,-«^en she whispered "Good-by" to him and expired.
