Autumn In this land Is perfection

river 81. John have been like gate
ways to Paradise. The towering hills
were gorgeously grand In the lovely
glow Of autumn sunshine, which
tinted all the groWths Of trees with
Q vsriegatsd eoloring. A blaze Of red
amid the quivering lesves, and yell
low told Of the presenes Of the maple

gems Of the forest, mingled their ns-
ture-painted charms In an endless
variety Of bright and glowing colors
that rival those Of the "bow Of PROM

are not confined 10 New Brunswick.
I had viewed them recently as per-

sunshine that illuminated my path

from Sudbury town to the Wayside

gorgeously embellished, stately trees
that were my companions In g stroll

these north land forests.

Il 10 A Ina hal. -
In Lsnsdowne rink, In this city early
In October, WAS addressed by Sir
John 4. Mcdonald, the Doniniou's
premier; Sir john Thompson, Min
lister Of Justice; e. II. Topper, Min-
lister Of Marine; and Gen. +. Foster,
Minister Of Finance. Probably there
was an audience Of 900 people seat-
ed in the vast auditorium. II was
partially a demonstration in honor
OF Sir John whom his admirers style
a. the grand old man." a Ia Glad
stonel, and an assembly gathered to
hear what the leader OF the govern
ment would say about the Mckinley
tariff law, which had just gone into
effect. or course the burden Of the
song Of the speakers was 10 prove that
the dominion government should In
no wise be held reprehenslble for the
passage OF the Ubiquitous enact
ment," 30 Tar as II effected Canadian
interests. I never saw a more atten-
tive audience, whether drawn by the
magnetism Of the speakers or the
importance Of the cause. All refer
ences to my government were
dIgnified aud respectful. aud even al
times the speakers Iauded the great.
ness Of our institutions. This sur
prised me greatly when public opin-
ion was worked up to the highest
tension over the fisheries on both
oceans and In view OF an import tax
which effected every person present.
Sir John Mcdonald begins to show
his advanced age, and yet claims to
be In the best Of health. He presents
. StrAuge likeness to D'IsTAeli. He
Is evidently one Of the greatest
statesmen Of his age, no matter what
his opponents may say Of his meth
DDS aud principles.
Just the day before the arrival Of
the premier and his party Lord and
Lady Stanley, Of Preston. came by |
special train aud St. John turned out |
en- Bidsse to welcome the Governor
General, the special representative |
Of his Queen. While Lord and Lady |
Stanley are very democratic in their
pretensions and appearance, Il was
necessary for them TO 60 through Q
certain amount Of lionizing. Where
fore the vice regal party drew up at
the UnIOn depot at noon and were
received by Sir Leonard
Tilley, Lieutenant Governor OF the
Lady TilIey, all the officials

people. The guests were driven first

mt were presented to Lord and Lady
In the evening the distin-
-ulshsd visitors were entertained at

attending the arrival,
eptIon and entertainment were very
nipple aud democratic In comparison
o that OF the Marquis and Princess
