Mow, the commercial metropolis of the Dominion of Canada. Is situated on the south shore of the island bearing the same name, and at the base of a beautiful eminence known as Mount Royal, from which both the city and island derive their name. The site of the city was first visited by Jacques Cartier in rug, and at that time he found a village of Indians situ ated near the foot of the mountain. He landed a short distance below the city at a point still known by the Indian name of Hochelaga. When he reached the top of the mountain, to which he was guided -by the Indian chief Donnacona, he was so struck by the mag nificent outlook that he named it in honor of his master, the Royal Mount. Champlain also visited the site in 161 1, but the village with its inhabitants had been swept away, probably by some hostile tribe. The first settlement by Europeans was made by the French in 1643. In its early history the city was repeatedly attacked by the Indians. And in 1684 a wooden wall was erected for defence. This was replaced in 1723 by a massive stone wall with redoubts and bastions. In 1759 when Canada was con quered by the British, Montreal had a population of souls. The streets were narrow and the houses low. Some of these buildings are still standing, a walk through the two or three streets still retaining these primitive buildings and narrow paths strongly reminding one of theosscarmvs data.
