The great easterii window dates from 1380 and the stained glass is of the same dn,te . A beautiful pulpit of Der byshire alabaster was erected in 1876. The old Guildhall, another standing landmark of the city, was rebuilt in 1464, Its singular projecting front extends over the sidewalk. 'f he principal room, 63 by 25 feet, is now used as aCouncilCham ber. We were present for a few minutes at a special session, and thought ho w much better l\fayor H orsey, of Bowman ville, would grace his position in our new Council Chamber if he were attired in an official robe, similar to Mayor Daw's. The walls are adorned with the scutcheons of th e city mayors, r ecorders, benefactors, etc., and some not ed paint ings of local celebrities. The mos ~ important modern building in Exeter is the Albert Memorial Museum opened in 1869 which contains n umerous curiosities, objects of natural hi!tory and geology, distinctive products of Devon and Cornwall, libraritis, reading rooms. schools of science and n,rt, etc. Cousiderable ,color effect is gained in the building by the use of stones of various tints. Among several churches and other places visited in company with Mr. D. Smith, a prominent citizen and business man, was the unpretentious Bible Christin,n Cha.pel on Richmond R oad which contains a capital organ and an efficient choi1·. Several noted worthies have lived, died and been buried in Exe ter, and the city is surrounded fo.r . many miles at present with the estates of L nrds, Dukes and Earls. W h ile walking north of the Castle on the grounds of Northernhay, the favorite promenade of the citizens, we ha d some capital views of the city and suburbs. Good views wero also had from Exwick Hill, Friar's Walk and Cullompton T er race on the south side of the city. Among the ancient privileges of Exeter is that of foreign attac11ment pos sessed by the Provost Court, by which the goods or money of a d eb tor may be attached in his absence to answr.r th e suit of the plaintiff. This pri vilege is only possessed by Exeter, by t he Lord Mayor's Court of London, and the Tolzey Court of Bristol. The city itself retains many memorials of its imtiquity, notably is th e High St. which though comparn.tively narrow is a \'ery interesting thoronghfare. The .c ity seems to have hit t!1e h appy medium between t he pr{ltentious and the mean. There is every si!{n of wealth and pro~ perity, b ut n one or next to none of ostentation. The popul"'tion is vpwards cf 38,000. We saw a large number of ladies on the street11 and havl' not seen better looking or more tastily dressed ladies anywhere. They dress plainly but very neatly and wear nothing gau!ly or ostentatious. The houses an d surroundings correspond with the ladies in respect to cleanliness and neatness. Like e·ery other town and city in England, beer drmking is a prevailing industry 1tnd public houses are very numerous . We went through the parts of the town where the laborers dwell, and the drinking habits with their concomitant evils were pla inly visible - poverty, wretchedness, misery, dirt, 11qualor, quarrelling and fighting. The old, old. story the wo rld over. Truly beer drinking il!I ·England's curse . Strolling leisurely a.long on~ of the principal streets, we were pleasantly surprised to meet Mr. A. Fanson, of Toron to, who has with his son, Mr. W. Fanson, been on :\ trip through this country and France, buying entire horses for expor ting to Canada. However much a person may be enjoying the society of bis English friends, to meet an acquaintance from Canada is a r eal pleasure. So it was in this case ; we spent a very pleasant half hour in conversation with Mr. Fanson. On 'l'Ltesday we hired a conveyance and with a party of five coUR ius d1·ove out 12 miles to visit Mr. and Mrs. W. J . Heard, of the post office department, Cullooopton, and a grand time we had. We occupied the exalted position of coachman and the gray b obtailed nag we . d rove wa~ terribly affiicted with cht'onic laziness, so much so that we covered th e 12 miles in something less than four honra. The road was in a prime condition, too. B u t those English vehicles are a load for any ordiuary horse wit hout any fu rther load. , We used up at least one inch of whip t o the mile and h ad to carry our r ight arm in a sling the r est of th e week. 'Ve reached Exeter at 12:45, midnigh t, and found several of the citizens parading t he streets watching our ret urn and inquiring for our whereabouts, in great ~nxiety least the Canadian John might have upset t he wagonette and killed the occupants. This wa~ our first experience in coaching in England and we shall never forget the labors of t he journey. . We found Cullomp ton a quiet, old fashioned town of about 3000 souls. 'l'he street s are narrow and crooked and the buildings are very irregular and very ancient. 'l'his town r eminded us very forcibly of th e French towns in the Provence of Quebec ; iudeeil, se veral English towns tha,t we have seen bear very striking res emblance to the French towns and villages.
