RKMARKABLR HISTORICAL DISCOVERY.
Samuel de Champlain, the noble found
er of Canada, and the discoverer of
Lake Champlaln, was buried at Quebec
two hundred and thirty years ago, and
the place Of his interment has remained
mystery, though 1t appears by the rec
ords of the time that tomb was con-
structed for him in chapel which was
known by his name. This mystery has
Just been solved by the indefatlgable re-
search of two coclesiastics of Quebec,
the Abbes Laverdiere and Casgrain, both
of whom are well known as accom-
plished and able Investigators of Cana
dian history. A most patient and per-
sisting sitting of ancient records brought
than to the conclusion that the chapel
and tomb must have been in the lower
town of Quebec, at certain poin imme-
diately under the precipice on which the
upper town is built. Accordingly, they
went to the spot in question, and found
that the aqueduct, constructed some ten
years ago, had apparently destroyed all
traces of the supposed tomb, the chapel
which contained it having long since
disappeared.
Those familiar with Quebec will re-
member the long stairway which de-
sends from Mountain street to Cham
plain street Near the foot of these
stairs was the spot which the two arch
biologists had been led to believe was the
site Of the tomb. 1t only remained to
inquire of those engaged in building the
aqued0ct whether any such remains had
been discovered in the progress of the
work. They went to Mr.. O'Donnell,
Assistant Engineer of the Water Works,
who had superintendent this part of the
structure. He replied promptly that an
ancient vaulted tomb had been found at
the place in question, containing q coffin
OF human bones, and that he was so
much struck with the character of the
discovery that he he'd included a section
Of the vault with measurements and
other indications concerning it; in one
Of his plans. This plan he found and
produced. He conducted NM. LAYER
diere and Casgrain to the place and
showed them what was still to be seen
OF the old vault, within which new
one, for the purposes of the aQuedUct,
had been made, nearly obliterating the
inscription on the wall, where, however,
some Of the letters of Champlain' name
may still be distinguished.
The bones he'd been removed immedi-
ately after the vault was discovered and
Mr.. ODonnell could not tell what had
become of them. 1t appeared, on fur
ther inquiry, that they had been given to
the Able Langevin, the priest OF a neigh
boring parish, well known in Canada as
the author Of several antiquarian and
historical publications. He had placed
them in boz and kept them for sCme
time, but afterwards caused them to be
buried, still IN the box, in the Roman
Catholic cemetery for unbaptized infants.
He directed the spot to be marked but
this it seems was neglected, for when we
last heard from Quebec, the box had not
yet been found, though an attempt to
that end had been made. There can be
no doubt that the bones will soon be re-
covered and that the remains of the
founder of Canada will be honored with
a monument worthy Of him.

The American -Lithographic Company has
Just published remarkable specimen of caligraphy,
copied by their process of " sun-printing.' from
the original by Professor David Davidson. This IS a
wonderfully minute and beautiful reproduction, in
microscopic text, of the speech of Cyrus W. Field
at the banquet given by the New-York Chamber OF
Commerce to celebrate the laying OF the Atlantic
Cable. The work is surrounded by an ornamental
border containing good portrait of Mr. Field. and a
picture of the Great Eastern, together with the
speech in ordinary printing type. Until the inyen-
ton of the photo-thoTaphic process, there was no
means of multiplying fac-similes of such elaborate
specimens of penmanship as Professor DayIdsons;
but through the agency of this valuable srt, any
production of the pen the pencil printers type,
or the engraver's tool, can be copied with scru-
pulOus exactness by the means of photography,
enlarged or reduced in size as occasion may
require and then transferred TO stone by chem
ica action and multiplied to any desired extent The
present publication is interesting not only from lis
artistic merit and its subject but also as the first
issue of a company which promises TO add largely to
our artistic enjoyments.
