On board 8. 8. Cambroman, June 25, 1900.â€"On our arrival at Quebec on Satâ€" urday, June 23, we made our wn‘); to the upper town, sauntered around the citaâ€" del, the interest of which is rather of a hstoric than a practical kind. From thesoldier who showed us around we learned that there is not a gun of receat make on the walls ; that the best guns are the old smoothâ€"bore muzzleloaders which have since been rifled. _ We learned further that Quebec citadel is no longer regarded as the protection of the harbor and city ; but t;mt. the forts on which the city‘s safety, in case of attack, relies, are situated on the other side of the river from Quebec. iBut whatever its yglue as a fort Quebec citadel is an ‘ceedingly interesting place. It stands 350 feet above the river, Its main entrance is from the side opposite the river, Before ever you reach the gates you are some twelyo feet below the summit of the hill, with walls of that height rising on either side of you,. The great (fimin gates are swung right open and look as if they were no longer used, Once within you find yourself between two walls, on a roadway of perhaps 20 or 25 feet wide, which leads to the entrance into the soldiers©‘ quarters and the great square enclosed by the walls, _ Very quiet was the citadel at the time of our visit. â€" The old cannon did indeed frown from the walls, but they were silent as the dead. It was not always thus! Here the final battle for the possession Here the final battle for the possession of North America was fought between the British and French. Against its defences the heroic Wolfe directed his energies for the early summer montbs, until that evening on which he landed his aamy at Wolfe‘s Cove, led it up to the Plains of Abraham through the night, and there in battlearray awaited the battle and the viectory which plantâ€" ed Britains‘s flag on the citadel and the St. Lawrence. Agains‘t this fort the American, Montgomery, led revolutionâ€" ary troops onlyÂ¥ to be defeated and On Monday of this week all that was mortal of the above gentleman was laid to rest in Mnfplewood cemetery amid many tokens of affectionate regard for his memory and sympathy with relaâ€" tivyes in their loss.
