Maratoba.—Note 8 . by the Way. OD. e 7th of September we leave Eleatorth otrothte for Manitoba. Arrive in Stra ord and have to remain for four h urs, the other train being that much 1ate. While waiting here an emigra t train passes through for Mani- toba la en with ea country emigrants, all anxous to secure homes for them- selves 4nd families in the Great North- west. Leave Stratford and arrive at Forest and remain. over night. Sep- tember 8th, 3 p. m., leave Forest and at 4.30 arrive in Sarnia. All bustle and exciteMent „here; the luggage being searehed and. rechecked. This does not tia e long and we are soon on our way across St. Glair River, and leave' . Oanda behind us for a while. At 8.30 p.m. e arrive at Detroit, but remain 'only fcr a short time, and 6 a. m., the 9th, thds as at MichiganeCity. Here is a m untain of land, I was informed by a p rty on the train that when it was wndy in that part of the country the saiid drifted and buried the fences -and evjary thing, the same as the snow does i Canada. I marked that down as the sand story. We arrived at Chi- cago at 8 a. m. This, as every person knows l is the . hub of America, it being the besiest city in •the new world. Here, ply ten years ago, raged one of the meet terrible fires that ever devastat- ed a city in America ; but now there is scarce!y a trace of the fire left; the burned. parts having been all rebuilt With ne briek buildings. There are twelve depots in. the city, the Chicago, Milwa kee and St. Paula being the largest depot in the world. Just out- side of here is the Pulman Palace Car Works, the Mast extensive- car works in Amerieae Ati 9 a.m. we leave here for St. Pauh3, lilinnesOta, passing through Wisconsin, *very fine looking country. We paps Mattson City aead Hurd Lake,- whiolOs the nicest place we have come to. We pass Devil's Lake and Stony Cliff, tiie most romantic place in our tomene ; and arrive at Baraboo at 6 itt the evening and remainfor supper. The scenery along here is featly grand, being nothin but mountains and valleys, (severe with a growth of small trees. Just o tside of Baraboo we cross the Wieconsin River. It is one mile wide, and is panned by a very fine bridge. On Saturday, the 10th, at 5 a. m., we crossed Willow River. It is a mile and a. half wide and navigable for steamers. Sherd after we enter Minnesota. It is a wid koking country at this point. At 7 am. we arrive at St. Pants and have o remain for thirteen- hours, giving is a good opportunity to have a look at the (qty. It is a very nice place. It is 1 uilt on the banks of the lilissisaippi. The post office and ' depot lare- splendid buildings. The popula ion is 75,000 souls, Minneapolis is dist nt ten miles. It contains the.. ' same ni mber of inhabitants, and it is thought same day St. Paul and Min- neapo s will join and become one large city. e leave here for St. Vincent, and, at 5 a. m. Sunday morning arrive at Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and remain till 5 Is.. m. Monday morning. We stoppe9 at the Union Hotel. It is a hard 1 oking phiee, being headquarters for the railwhy men, who are all Nor- wegian andicannot speak English. In the for noomwe went out to see how the land looked. It is a very fine coun- try. T ii. years ago it was one unbroken prairie and now there is a town with a ion said to be 3,000. The people popula around here do not seem to have much regard or the Sabbath. While on the streets yoti see stores open and business carried, going t the str town kinds o m.-, 12t and pa countr stacks Of grain. There seems to be no barns but neat little houses. We pass many small lakes, and as the train passes ooks of wild ducks rise off them. Thia i a grand place for shooting. We are now in the regular prairie country. Here are hundreds of acres of grain in stook and many steam threshi say t While packag and is the ooulutry evho sat opposite myself. They ave 'evidently met before, for the co ntry! man hells him with, "Well, boss, yer still alive." The prize -p °kap man acknowledged that e still lived, and asked laim i he did not want to in- vest in tine° e ran of as the e was one went wbth every fifty packages, and the ten or tWelve he had in his band were the la t of the fifty. The packages . also co4itained bills rangin from one to ten, dollars, and always a jewelry prizel The young man co eluded, to take one and handed over hi one:dollar and a quarter, and. looked lover them and sorted one out. With a grin bf satisfaction mantling on his face he opens it, and behold it coa- tains alone dolled, bill. But being of an honest turn pf mind he tells the sharp- er that it teas not fair, as he knew his marks The pr have t came liked h no diff on by some, while others will he ohurch. While standing on et we see parties going through ith threshing machines and other machinery. Monday, at 5 a,. Sept., we leave Fergus Falls s through a splendid farming . The prairie is dotted with ng machines at work. They e grain is turning out well. passing along here the prize - man comes ,upon the scene, soon seem by a young man from a prizemackage,I at the same plaining to him the chance he etting a gold watch worth $70, nd c&ild draw ineney every time. ze-pdokage manaaidhe would oliange his marks next time he round, bat added that if he could draw again, as it made ence to him who got the watch. The yo ng man concluded to take four draws ijuft banded over his five dollars. and ag !picked out his packages, while t4ie probable ehaace of a gold watch 1 and ten dollar bills passed through his mind. When he had picked them out he looked at the crowd and winked a knowing wink, mon:mob as to say I've got them this time. At this point tl4e smile that overspread his face wa amusing, hat when he opened the firs4 package and it contained a brass c Ilar button the smile began to disappe , and. before he had. opened the last one to find a one cent breast pin the snail° had teamed away, and he looked, ike a man who had just loeta five d Ilar bill. The crowd had a good la gh at the young mau's expense, • while t e prize package man goes tato car to seek another victim. m. we-: enter Dakota. It is not lookiag country sa Minnesota. we !arrive at Emerson, the city of Manitoba. It is it stirring the ne At 3 p. SO fine At 5.3 gatewa little toWn. At 9 p. m. we arrive at Wnimp g and reraain for one day. Our t4in ia composed of thirteen coaches,. filled to their utmost capacity with passengers. , They make quite a stir when they all get out there, being over 760 people. It is surprising what a business is carried on here. What with building and the tide of emigration flowing in, it is one of the busiest p agfieta to -day in Ameri Ja. Here we see many people from Seaforth all doing well. Here you see the Indians in their na- tive costume walking the streets. The old Indians are very dark, almost as black as negroes. It is astonishing hdow lots sell in Winnipeg. One-fifth of an acre just out side of the businees part of the town is worth from six to eight thousand dollars. Wages are also very good. Brick layers get from $6 to $7 per day; laborers $2.50 to $3. Wed- neliday, the 14th, we leave Winnipeg for Portage la Prairie, and on the way pass stony mountain, so called from the quantity of stone to be .found there. Here is built the Penitentiary. It is . a dreary looking place. We can see the prisoners at work in the quarries as we pass 4ong. They are dressed in half black and half white, which makes an odd looking suit. In due time wear - rive at Portage la Prairie and remain over night. This is a lively little town. There is a large --encampment of In- dians just out side of the town. They go about the streets with no covering on their heads except their hair, which ranges from six to twelve *hes in length,—a very good length on a hot day. We see a great many native carts here. They are queer looking riga, no iron being used in their con- struction, not even a Awl. They are driven principally by half breeds and Indians. On the 15th we leave Portage la Prairie for Brandon. We have totake the construction train from here,as there is no regular paseenger train running yet. On the way the engine had to leave the cars and go- ahead for ten cr twelve miles to get supplies tir wood and water. We were left in a very rough 1 looking part of the! country, The land is all sand and covered with scruleby bushes and is good for noth- ing; At one p. m. we stop at the Sand fffills for dinner. Here there is a canvae tent on the side of the track, kept by a woman whom the railway comp ny supplies with provisions for the a4commodation of their men and the tr yelling public. It is the dirtiest place ever saw. Everything is tin,— tin .c$ips, plates, dishes, etc., mingled with dfrt. They have for dinner what canno describe, as it made me shiver to lo at it. We ate ncithing but a k they all hash and soup. Perhaps it was, ut the' soup looked to me like dirty ater and turnips. The hash 1 In little ece of bread, but when we came out w had to pay fifty cents ,a piece all the s e. We left here at 1:30, riding on loads of ties. It was rather rough riding!, but we had to put up with it. We left the train seven miles from Brandon and walked into town, as the railwery is constructed no fnrther, and arrived at Brandon about 6 p: m. and reicia„ined over night at the Brandon Howie: This is a canvas tent 15 x 30, with istair. This is the first night T spent lunder oanvas. Friday, the 16th, we lefjti Brandon for the land office, dista t 30 miles. We walked, as we did n t feel inclined to pay the modest dema d of $17 each for the privilege of ridin ; tli!it is all they charge here for driving a person that distance. It Was our fi4st experience of following the trail. We got lost many tirnes- and went nany miles out of our way, and as ni .ht came on we had to stop at a. farmer's house over night. This far- mer has over 2,000 acres of land, and a great deal under cultivation. Saturiay, 17th, we start anew in search of the land office, and at 9 a. m. arrived there and get plans of sections we wanted to see, and started for Plumb Creek, dis- tant 15 miles. On, our way out we pass a mud house, and being very hungry go in and make a meal and go ou our way rejoicing. The occupant of the house was away. We. arrived at our destination and. had a look at the land and chose our lots. To be ready for our return on the morrow we remain over night here. T. Carter and myself stop with J. and S. Townsend, late of Tackersmith, while the other two bop; stop at W. 0. Fowler's, formerly of Wingham. They have both got good farms and seem to like the country. Sunday, the 18th, we bid our friends farewell and start on our homeward trip. We stopped at Mr. Corey's, formerly of Tuckersmith, for dinner. Mr. Gorey has the best farm we have seen in the west. He is doing well and likes the country. At 8 p. m. ar- rived at the Land Office and remained over night. Monday morning we got our papers for our land and started for Brandon, arriving there at 10 p. m. While crossing the prairie we saw a great many buffalo honest lying on the ground. Tuesday, the 20th, we leave Brandon for Winnipeg. We are de- layed four hours by the special train contaiping the officers of the road get- ting off the track, but at 3 p. m. arrive an what is called the siding. This is a switch off the mainline where the train from Winnipeg brings the railway supplies, the train from Brandon meeting it here and conveying them the rest of the way. The train then runs back with the empty cars. There is no buil ling here and we have to lay around on the prairie for four hours. While looking around one of the party found a large chunk of ham which some person had lost, and all being hungry we had a meal of ham. At seven o'clock the train arrives, and in half an hour afterwards we are again on our way. We have a box car from here to Portage la Prairie, and our party, consisting of about fifteen, lay down "on the floor and passed the night as best we could in total darkness. It was very cold, and rained all night. Every now and themes,. terrible impre- catiou would escape the lips of cer- tain parties as some one who had got stiff with lying got up to move around and would come in contact with their head or step on their , face, he would be hailed with, "Where in are you goin e mind. where you put your feet down:; what do you want walking around here," &c., and as he would go to retrace his steps he would fall over some poor fellow who was half aeleea when be would receive another blessing, and in a little while all would be quiet again. At 1 a. m. we are all called out to put wood in the eagine. It is rain- ing very hard -and we all get wet, but have to do it or stop. At four o'clock ' on Wednesday morning we arrive at Portage Ia. Prairi e and remain until .2 p. ra., when we again start on our way, to Winnipeg. We pass through a burned district of hundreds of thou- sands of acres, where there was not one green blade of greas left as far as the eye could see. On the train was a very old Indiatt, who had just heard his father was dead. It was a pitiful sight to see him cry, but every now and then he wEtild exclaim "He did. not care, as he had more money than any person on the train,", and he would let us see what he ceuld do. There was one thing he could do, and it was to drink a quart of whiskey as quick as the most of the mo. Next day I saw the same Indian wa ing up and down Main street, Win meg in company with an old squaw. 1 By the way he was laughing and talki g to her, he seemed to have wholly orgotten that his father was dead'lShursday at 9 a. m. we arrived at Win peg and remained over two weeks. 0 Satur- day, October let, we visited he bid Hudson Bay Fort and the pla e where poor Scott was shot. The buil ings are very old, and remind one of he days gone by and what precauti ns the Company took to defend ther goods from the Indians. Here are, ito i e queer looking cannon, bearing the ates of 1703 and 1707. At the preset t time the buildings are full of furs a id goods of the Company. October 6th «el visited the exhibition, but to give an amount of everything would take too long. Suffice it to say that the principal a traction was the display of the Caned Pacific Railway Company of grain, pas and flowers picked off the land Ithrough which the road traverses, toget u er with the monster' sea lion, shown oy R. E. Jones, wholesale oyster raercha t. Mr. Jones did not claim for it th3 title of being the only one on earth. There was no fruit visible. As 1 heard two Irishman remarking to eaci other "The only fruit they saw vas to- matoes and onions." There we plenty of friiit o thiskind. Floating oster every- thing was a large banner, beata g upon it the glorious words "God. BI es Oar Queen." We left Winnipeg, Ithe far famed city of the West, on 1Ionday, 10th October. Ten years ago it was nothing but the Hudson. Ba Fort. Now it contains twelve toousand inhabitants with a floatin pop- ulation of 5,000 more. It as very cold. On the train there were a great many leaving for the East. hey all seemed cheerful at tha pros eat of getting home after their sojour in the West. After leaving Emerson we saw a prairie fire. It is a grand sight,— fire as far as the eye can see an travel- ling as fast as a horse can run Tues- day 10 a. m. arrive at St. -Pa ls. All the prucipal buildings are dr ped in black in respect to Qames A. arfield. There was a very fine arch upo which was inscribed "J. A. Garfield, he was a good and vallient knight," int rwoven with flowers. On the top of each is the representation of Garfield— 'fe size —as he was shot. You see th ballet wound and the blood running • own his breast. On one side is th coffin showing that he is dead, and on the ,other side is the grave, reor senting 'poor Garfield`s lest resting pace on earth. He deserves all the ho or they can show him, for he was an pright, loyal man, botla to God and his ountry, and he who in future qays sh 11- read. the history of the United S Mee of America will see 'shining like a star with increasing lustre the • ame of James A. Garfield. We left S Paula for Milwaukee. On our way «e run for 140 miles on the bank of he Mis- sippi River. There is som grand scenery on this part of our road. Wed- nesday, 7 a. m. arrive at Milwa kee and remain for a short time. This e at very fine city. We leave Milwau ee for Chicago. Here also the city is draped i in black. We remain here f or seven hours and look around. T ursday, 4 a. m., arrive at Detroit, a'nd remain for some hours; 9 a. m. leave or Port Huron or Fort Gartiot, when e cross St. Clair River, and in a few so inutes we are once more in this Ca ads of ours. Our next stopping place was Forest, where we remained over night, and at 9 p.n. on Friday, the 14th, we arrive once more at Seaforth, after an absence of t• five weeks in the Great Northwest. T. E.
