With the fino district about tho two lakes sot- tled, ronds built, and mineral wenlth doveloped, this Province may bo oxpacted to fulfll her logitimato destiny as onoe of tho richest countries in'tho world, Awny to tho enstward of this Provinco, but intimately connectod with its futuro succoss, aro THE TWO GREAT BONEMES now undor way, known ns tho North Shore and the Northern Colonization Roads. Tho first runs nlong tho north whoro of tho Rivor St. Tawrenco, and connects tho two eition of Quebeo and Montron], giving competition with tho oxist- ing road, tho Grand Trunk; the second, is n grond #chemo for cmnuinF tho Provinco of Quebeo through parts now almost ontirely ungot- tled, and making direct connection botwoon Montroal and this city. In this connection, it ought to be romarked that a third schiome, known a8 tho Toronto & Ottawn Railrond, will, when carried out,—and it is but a matter of time,— constitute the romaining link in anothor com- pleto chain of railways from the West to tide- wator. ‘The contracts for the building of THE NORTHERN COLONIZATION RAILIOAD have been lot to Mossrs, D, Mucdonald and .

'Tho citizens of ontreal, who~ subscribed 21,000,000 bonus townrds tho road, are somewhat excited over the lolting of tho contract to anybody bearing the name of Macdonald or Abbott; thoy both snsell vory ranle- 1y, now thut the Pacifi Railway disclosuros heve Doon made. Tho peopla are nsking that tho wholo contract shall Lo published ; but it is doubtful if the Bonrd of Dircctors will pay any attontion to the public clamor. Incidentally, tho operstions of Mr. Dawson on, what is known ng THE DAWSON ROUTE, from tho head of Lake Superior to Manitoba, aro worth recording. When ‘‘ Georgy "—Daw- son has fod 8o long ns a public oficial that ho is ovorysrhioro known by his Ohristian name—made his ‘cstimates for the work, it was to cost §247,200, Up to date, there hnve boen exponded ovor'2600,000, nud appropriations amounting to o total of §260,000 more havo been made.

Immigrants to Manitobs will 000 . atill continue to go by way of tho Btates, and not by tho route chisoled out by Mr. Dawson. A party of three made tho trip lust yoor, and tho oxertion was so great that the woman in the party sufforod tho paing of premnture labor ; snd this seagon about a score have venturod to undortake the task.

At proscut, we are at o temporary stand- still, owing to tho [ndeoision which eloaks overy- thing connectod with tho great uational scandal, With that swept awny,—and no ono can imagine how forvently evory Canadian is praying that it may after all only turn out to have boen A VERY DISAGREEABLE NIGHTMARE,— wo ghall go marching on in our prosperous career.
