Lecture.

VIM. J. Parsons, ESQ.,, delivered a lee.
turo at the Seminary on Wednesday even
ing, Subject, "Mary Queen of SCOTS -
1t was historical and the lecture showed
a close acquaintance with, and keen appre-
citation Of, his subject. He drew a vivid
and touching picture Of the contrast be-
tween the beautiful girl of sixteen, edu-
Gated and accomplished almost beyond
precedent and for whom the crown of the
kingdoms waited, and the weary prisoner
of forty-6ve, prematurely gray, bcheaded
amongst sneering enemies in that gloomy
old castle after twenty years Of imprison-
ment. We rejoiced to find that he held
the unfortunate queen innocent Of the
gross errors charged against Der by her
enemies. ,.
The lecture abounded with passages of
eloquence snd beauty and was we'll deliv-
cred.

Home Again.

Left Mortified on Tuesday 25th and
came on runners to Hastings. For the
6rst FIVE miles the roads were almost en-
= tirely bare Of snow while great drifts lay
on each side. This was while we were in
the valley Of the Cannon River, but when
We got up on the prairie the case was re-
versed. On the. prairies wherever track
:is made the snow drifts in and fills It level.
The next team makes new track which
is again filed until the roads become a
ridge raised quite above the level Of the
snow on each side. As it melts more
slowly being trodden hard it remains a
snow ridge after the soft snow on either
side has quite disappeared, but as it be-
comes soft, and is often undermined by
Water it soon becomes impossible if the
snow is deep. In this case we had to
avoid the road very carefully and make
our way over the lighter snow and pools
Of water on each side. From you leave
the Cannon on until you reach the Yer.
million some four or five miles from Hast
ings the country is almost destitute Of
timber, but well watcred. That part of
the State is well adapted to large farms,
having rich, deep alluvial, soil, SO near
= y level as to bersuitable to cultivation by
machinery and yielding grand wheat crops.
The approach to Hastings from the in
terror is beautiful and very easy, through
thick settlement coming quite up to the
city limits. In this Hastings has quite
the advantage of other river towns in the
State below Minneapolis. The others are
!. all more or less shut in by steep bluffs,
through some gorge Of which they barely
6rd a road into the back country. Then
the difficulty of finding water, on these
bluffs atany point near therlverlcaycs astrip
of from six to twelve miles almost unin-
habited.> The place appears to improve
i,s advantages and grows until it has quite
. cityfed, business air Notwithstanding its
great beauty Of location its handsome resi-.
denotes empowered in trees and plenty o.
room for moro.

The emigration to British Columbia as

Itwould be ofimmense advantage to Cana

caravans to Red River, leaving atregular
periods. This route would be less expen-
sive than that by Panama, and would pre-.
pare the travellers for the labor before them.
Such an enterprise would draw an i'm
mense amount Of travel to our shores,
create strong Bonds between Canada aud
the Pacific Provinces, and eventually lead
to the settlement of many or the fortunate
| gold diggers in our midst. 1t would be a
great step towards the construction of the
Pacific Railway through British territory
by gradually developing the capabilities Of
the route, aispelling prejudices, aud prov
ing how small are the physical difficulties
in the way Of Its accomplishment: Hun
dreds of thousands of'emigrants will seek

part of whom would prefer the land route,
if the Canadian Government would man
fully apply'itse elf to the organization ofef-
fective transportation trains. -Montreal
