After riding two days and three nights We
arrived at Sue st. Marie. Remained there
long enough 10 visit the town and U. S.
Fort, and then departed for Marquette. This
is . beautiful oity, eontsiuiug about 1000
Inhabitants, and has rome Of the finest busi
ness houses aud residences 10 the State, and
also very ans harbor. We left Marquette
for Houtoa and Hancock, where we found
everything lively. From there We went
westward 10 Bayfield,, . towa Of little or no
importance, and thence put out for Duluth.
Thii tow indie ates business lively. There
are three daily papers at this point, though
the city contains but 4, $50 tnhabiiants The
business blocks srs oil wooden with two OF
three exceptions, and the greatest mystery
10 how they oil make living when there is
more business houses than private residenc-
e. We remained in Duluth from Sunday
noPaing until Tuesday, and then started
for st. Paul. Visited everything OF inter-
est within the State Of Minnesota, aud then
started down the great Mississippi, and l
tell you the scenery down to this point,
