age. The points of interest along the
lake are on the port side, Lexington,
Port Sanilac, Sand Beach--a harbor of
refuge-and are passed in the order
mentioned, until reaching Port aux
Barques, where the route is across Sag
inaw Bay-the only place on the trip
where the steamer is out of sight of
land which is again seen at Thunder
Bay.
As we got well out into the bay,
being just in line with the passage from
Georgian Bay, the wind, which was
blowing from the northwest, had a
tremendous sweep. A strange sensa-
ton came over your correspondent and
he betook himself To his stateroom
where he at once assumed a Longitude
nal attitude. 1t was never designed
that what transpired there should ever
be revealed, but our best laid plans
often tome to naught. Mrs. M. came

She retired. The plan was well con-
cealed-hidden away in the state room

little door tightly closed. o, Woman I
Why will she pry into every nook and
corner? just as we were leaving the
boat at Detour the next morning, and
we were congratulating ourself that we
had not been sick and she had (she was
sick the night before) she poked into that
little cupboard and-"Whats this ?"
"You been sick ?" "No ~ 81 declare
you have, here's your whole supper,
steak, fish, potatoes, and there's the
berries on top that you ate first !" We
left in disgust, insisting that the boat
would be off before we got ashore. We
knew we were not sick.
1t was just dawn when we entered
to the dock. We left at this point to
take boat for Mackinac Island, thence
to Charlevoix to spend Sunday with
friends and next week to continue our
trip to the Lake Superior country.

Around the Lakes.

Leaving Paw Paw on the morning of
the Gath ult., we arrived at Detroit the
same evening. The next day was prof
tably spent in viewing the sights in and
around the metropolis of Michigan, a
city of which the people of the state are
Justly proud. Excursions on the river
are of daily occurrence; twenty-five
cents takes one to Port Huron, dis
tance of sixty miles, and return, one
dollar to Cleveland and return, on the
palatial steamer, City of Cleveland, etc.
We left the city late in the evening
and, passing Belle Isle Park, were soon
in Lake ST. Clair This is a shallow
body of water and, where the river
comes in, large deposits of sand have
been made, known as the flats" which
used To be great impediment to navi-
CATION but which is now obviated by
means of a ship canal. Detroit people
have club house here and il has be-
come great place of resort from the
city. The large fields Of wild rice at
tract immense numbers of wild ducks
and the waters TEEN with fine fish.
Entering the st. Clair river we found
ourselves too weary to enjoy the
beautiful scenery along its shores
and retired to our state room. At day
light we were again on deck. 1t is
really true, Mr.. Editor, we were up al
daylight. We were just passing st.
Clair, the last town of Importance be-
fore reaching Port Huron, which is a
port of entry, containing three ship
yards, two dry docks and fish trade
of no mean Importance. Directly OPP
posite, is Port Sarnia, connected by
ferry.
We left Port Huron at breakfast time
and were soon on the broad, blue bosom
of Lake Huron. The Lake Superior
boats, on one Of which we were riding,
do not again touch shore until they
have made the full length of the lake
$50 miles-and enter the Detour pass.

JUDGE RUCKER's WRATH.

tt Is almos, positively known, says a
telegram, that Colonel Moore is on his
way to Lexington, Ky, as the bearer of
challenge from Judge Rucker to Senator
Blackburn.
Now why will Judge Rucker 50 hunt
ing Kentucky Senators with a brass
band? Time was when in the days Of
chivalry two bold knights wanted to
perform with the lance and battle axe
they straightway proclaimed the thing
by heralds.
The lists were made, the King came to
look on, the minstrel tuned his harp, the
court Jester whetted his wit, The trumpet
BOUNDED the charge, and the tilt was
run. According to that versciOus chroni-
cler, Froissar. there was o lovely en-
counter OF this kind in France once upon

Reginald de Roye performed.
Sir Boucicault was a game blood and
noted as an exterminatOr OF Turks aud
Ssracens, but Sir Reginald was "enam-
ored of faire ladye, which caused all
his affairs to prosper both in love and
war, so at the second course he, with
straight thrust Of his lance, broke oil the
helmet of Sir Boucicault and endorsed
him to the ground SO violently that II did
cause his nose to bleed, a. which several
ladies tainted away. he retired TO his
tent and jous:ed no more that day
There were no policeman in those days
and publicity worked well. Neither were
there revolvers or villainous saltpetre
So the times have so far changed that
men bent on CORY deeds generally keep
their intentions close, which Judge
Rucker ough: 10 have done if he meant
business.

expelled from Russia. His room in
the Rue Saint Jacques is piled from

is the rendezvous of the male and fe-
male students of Russian nationality,
who are attending lectures i'll the PARIS
medical schools, and they delight III
discussing politics, literature, medi-
cine and mathematics with their pc
triarchal compatriot. Iavrof has had
an eventful career. He was born at
Pskof in 1923, and went through q
course of studies in the Russian school
Of artillery, in which he succeeded
Ostrogradslly in the professional chair.
I'm 1866 he was arrested in connection
with the Karakosof affair, and was
imprisoned. but escaped in 1870. After
having lived in Switzerland and Eng
