In our editorial letter published il the TELE
sRAPH of last week there occurred several typo
sraphical errors. The Convention met on THes
day the 17th and not the 10th as we were made tc
say. And in speaking ofthe steamboat oxcuI sionI
on the rivers at La Crosse we were made to say
the Mississippi and Rock rivers in place OF tn,
Mississippi and Black Rivers.
We closed our letter at Duluth. Sunday, P. NJ OF
the 29d alt. Nearly all the editorial party len

ering for st. Paul. And as we with three etherI
remained over to start for Bismarck in the morning
we can give no more account OF the excursion
party and their journeys except of the journeys OF
Oursen and those who journeyed with us. On
Monday morning June 9Sd at o'clock four OF Us
started for Bismarck the Mis- souri, river $50 miles
west of the head OF Lake Superior The first
place of note on the route is BTai nerd the east

marck on the Missouri 900 miles in the distance
From Fargo the stations are numbered by side
tracks there being some lSlrOm Fargo to Bismarck
Atope OF these side tracks near midwsy the train
halted for diuner which was furnished al eating
car. After 30 minutes and dinner we moved en-
ward for Bismarck where we arrived about O'Clock
1t was cloudy when we left Dunth Monday
morning but cleared up during the forenoon. 1t
became cloudy Tuesday afternoon As we approach
ed Bismarck AID there was commenced fac dis
play Of thunder and lightning. Psrtaking hastily
OF bouAtitul supper at the Capitol Hotel we were
soon on the way on loot fer the Missouri river two
mites from Bismarck. Before reaching the river it
became dark but the lightning lighted US till we
arrived safely at the Fail Road crossing OF the
Missouri. Soon began to rain in torrents and We
found shelter on a steamboat on the Missouri
river belonging to and ured by the Northern Pa
cihc H. r. Company, And as it grew late we de-
cided to take lodging in the boat till mori ing.
Some OF our company gave the thunder and light
ming OF Missouri river the preference for display
over 'he thunder and lightning of Superior lake.
Both were grand and perhaps co RalIy magnificent.
Up by O'Clock In the morning, walk OF two
miles to Bismarck, breakfast at the Capitol Hotel
at 3, on the cars at $50 and we are on return
towards home. or our return from Bisma rex 10

having separated from all our coHpany, We took
the Milwaukee and st Paul Railway for home ar
irving at Truesdel'e station ave or six miles FROM
Ke osha betwean and O'Clock Sunday morning.
Finding the depot locked aud no one to be found
We started on OF for Kenoeha wearing Overcoat
and carrying heavy vAliSe, and arrived a. home At
the commencement of a heavy shower about Z
O'Clock.
Home again after an absence OF thirteen days,
tired and worn, but vigorous and strong compared
with what we were ON leaving, we were glad to he
home again, and felt that there was place like
home. And in our jOurneying we have seen no
place in beauty equal TO Kenosha Kenosha is
home, and there is no place like home. Home,
sweet home, there Is 10 place like home.
