. 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,

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

of grain in stook and many steam

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

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. D4NNIE.
