True, they were miles and mild. away. a mere dream. sometimes. '01 snow-capped peaks and purple shad- new and thriving western town. And now we had boarded the "limited" in the hot evening sunshine, and should not leave it again till we had been taken right into the heart of the Rockies. At first our way lay through the rounded "foot-hills" l l l l l : means scriptural in his objurgatory that circumferentiate Calgary, and ever nearer as was the busy-talking, Bow River that Was to be our com- panion till we got to Banfl, and af- ter. Now the Bow River has its ori- gin in the mountains and is fed by their everlasting snows and myriad trickling streams. Fancy transform- ed its voices into those of a crowded procession of pilgrims returning rrom the wondrous region; and talking} about what they had seen. Therel were the voices of old and young, of gentle and simple, the prophetic and the prosaic, the roar of the undis- tinguished voices of the multitude. ' But all were in accord as to the greatness of the mountains. I caught i that of an old man. who was senten-i tiously quoting scripture, as the only i thing that could properly express his, feelings on the occasion; ‘while near E him marched one who was by nol l ‘ remarks on the general effect of the; Rockies upon his feelings. Still an-'; * other said, “You bet your bottoml dollar they’re great.” An Imperial-i ist, with a very emphatic tone of ut- T terance, said that “nothing but the" British Empire could have produced such mountains," and the ever preS- ent witling said they had made him feel “decidedly rocky,” and called for a B. and S. Then a bold promotory came. between us and the river, and I could-hear the voices no longer. But soon afterwards that procession wound about and in and out so much that we heard it again and again at intervals like the "(l’lzil'lls of 500 voices” coming in en masso at an oratorio. “They are!” they shouted; ”They are!" \Vhich under the circumstances and at the monk out, seemed very satisfactory, al- though of the nature of a dream. it. may be that it is the property and attribute of all great, things in naâ€" ture to seem iihl} a the x)”, “lather the Vastness of mountains or the widespread wonder of the tossing sea, or the color of a purple 111001“- land at sunset when the orb of day grows crimson and hides in the foli- age of a few lonely trees. So now, it seemed like a dream when the grey and rugged top of one of the noun- tains rose in its distant height and seremgly (thou: the rounded green of the footâ€"hills; and when a few mom- ents afterwards we came round a curve and saw the (lreat ()x'r‘s for the first time in all their grandeur, from purple base to, snowâ€"sneaked summit, and, stretching up to them, the fringing growth of silent and dark~color0d pines. By this time the brilliant. sunlight which had ace companied us and burnished every blade of grass, and llower and leaf of the landscape, and in which in- sects had slowly llnttered and gam- boled, was dying down, as we went along, the rocky heights were paint‘ ed in divine purples and greys, some- times appearing as undelined pur- plishâ€"grey lackgrrounds for multitud- . inous; pines. and again, for the mom- ent. sharply defined in every feature ' of their rocky complexity by the rays of the sinking sun. 1"1‘0111 now on- wards, for lifty miles we had a ser- , ies of the most. inspiring pictures. Realities of Mt. Assinihoiue. The beauties of Mt. Assiniboine are best seen from the north or west. From these View points the pinnacle rises in an almost perfect pyramid that appeals strongly to the lt’>\'t_'l'S of perfection in the grand- eurs of nature. From the north, at a. distance of a mile or more from the base, this pyramid peak looks smooth enough to have been ChlS' eled out of the solid granite of which it is Constructed. But both the east and the south sides present many attractions to the mountain lover. The regular pyramid of the peak is lost sight of from these points, and especially the. south side of the mountain, which but few white men have ever seen, is an al- most perpendicular wall rising to a height of thousands of feet. This side of the mountain does not pre- sent the beautiful sculptured eflect of either the north or west sides, but it presents in its massive rugged walls something that is even more impressive than sculptured walls.

Mr. Smifl‘. was walking down street on Thanks-i giving morning, meditating upon such an article, gathering inspira- tion and the divine .amatus as it were, and neglected to notice in his rear a small boy in a red toque.who was bending over a hand-sleigh and gathering impetus through a pair of little legs that were driving for all they were worth. The small boy evidently did not notice the £05- silized antiquity in front, and the doctors state it is not likely he will ever know what happened.

There was one old fellow in the shop that no one ever went near, for they all called him “Crab- by,” and he had his tools all pasted over with Scripture texts, so we missed him, and most of us gave a quarter, and some fifty cents. When i I handed the committee the money‘ one of the chaps said, “Hasn’t old’ Tâ€" given anything?’ and the clues-JI tion was answered by a laugh of de- rision. But for fun it was agreed that I would go and ask the old1 man, and the rest of the crowd stood ‘ by to give him the laugh. Well, he handed out a dollar, and said he was glad to help.

Canada to Lord Strathcona have only dealt with the improbability cf such an appointment {rem the poll'- tical point ‘of View, says The London Chronicle. But the social side is not less important, as even a man in 'Lord Strathcona’s position would find if he were sent to Rideau Hall. Sir John Macdonald’s View of the position was a common-sense one. but perhaps that of the late Sir Thomas Mellwraith of Queensland Was a trifle more shrewd. When there was talk in Australia of de- manding the appointment of colonial men to Governorships, Sir Thomas \vas naturally spoken of in connec- tion with Queensland. "But What would I do," queried the Bananaland statesman, “if I were Governor. and some old mate hailed me up in Queen street and asked me to come and have a. drink.
