We left Chicago for the Michigan rail-
road at six last eve. Arrived in Detroit
at ten this morning. 1t is net very~un-
pleasant travelling in the cars by night
\ long, continuous click-e-te-click and
rumbIing Of the cars puts every pas
senger in doze, SO that an unbroken
silence prevails for hours at time.
True, ones neck feels, next morning,
the effect Of having. been a swivel all
night for his head to turn on. One sleep
ing in the ears, is awake in the alternate
moments just enough to be conscious Of

bright and lively; but the lands, we pass
over are unworthy of being a part Of
the fertile west However, people usu-
ally thrive as well upon poor soil as q
rich soil believe better. Michigan

Illinois, for the most part, a Southern.

with the South, by opening an avenue of
trade 10 Lake Superior, or directly a
cross Wisconsin, to Green Bay At
this particular iuncture in the river mar
kct, grains are worth more in St. Louis
than in Chicago. THIS case, however,
will seldom oCcur-certainly not when
Minnesota feeds her own population and
the Indians too
People are very intent TO hear about
Minnesota. They inquire if it is really
what it is cracked up to be. reply to
