IN AND ABOUT DETROIT.

The Press club of Chicago sent delegation to Detroit, last week, to attend the meeting of the National Editorial association and to induce Colonel Elliott F Shepard, editor of New York Acts Of Lhe Apostles to declare himself in favor holding the Worlds fair at Chicago. 1 was one of the delegates sent, not for the purpose of heading process sion of making any sort of display but to sit down quietly reservedly, and discuss, with Colonel Shep- ard. the news methods employed by Paul in his famous letters to the afternoon edition of The Cor inhidns. It was thought that after this converse tion the colonel-who received his title from the hands of sutler in the Salvation Army-would be listessy willing to sign any document that mi ght be prepared for him.
 Detroit put on beautiful dress and tied red white and blue ribbons about her graceful throat. Every citizen appeared to take upon himself the cheerful duty of making each visitor not only feel at home, but of seeing that he fared great deal better. Detroit is beautiful city, just old enough to hold quaint features and just young enough to be ambitious. The people have learned how to enjoy themselves they do not seem to believe that the mere possession ofmoney is happiness. walked around all day and did not meet & man whom l owed, but the next morning when the Chicago trains arrived found it necessary to do little lodging.
 The National Editorial association was founded five years ago, and is & success. The man from Texas and the man from Maine meet each other, forget politics exchange the conversational com- modities of good -humored exaggeration, laugh at each others experiences and become friends. Not a single man was killed during the session of the convention.
 The time was mostly spent in eating and-sight- seeing. Detroit is not prohibition town. l saw one man carrying jug, but inquiry proved that it was filled with sulphur water. Every few hours we had an excursion on the river, one of the most beautiful streams in the world. The water was so limpid that Mississippi colonel read his title clear in it. Down below the city, tall grass trnges the edges of the stream-hair the lips of a char ming landscape We went to the exposition building, a magnificent structure, and then went-somewhere else don't exactly remember where, but think that we had an enjoyable time As we were return ing, heard sudden splash, and looking down, saw that some one had fallen overheard. The cap tain was standing near, and excitedly asked if he were not going to save the man.
 "No," said he "I want to encourage him."
 "Want to encourage him." exclaimed "What do you mean2"
 "Want to lend aid to his reformation. l have known him for fifteen years, and this is the frst time ever saw him thoroughly wet He's always dry when meet him, and believe that this is the first time he ever took water"

Clair, and have an idea that the oocasion waa pleasursble in . high degree. A number of speeches were made, and my protege, Colonel Shepard, read paper on bee-culture, shaking the paper and scattering many useful hints about the table. He said that while cultivating bees the best way to avoid being stung was to go away from home just before the hired men began to rob the hives. He said that he had committed bur- glary on one hive, but it 60 completely changed the contour of his face that since then he had avoided such frolicksome exercises. Major Cotton ton, editor of the Hoaeycoa6 Mercury, asked the colonel concerning the best diet for bees.
 "I advise buckwheat when the weather is cool" the colonel answered. "The wheat should be we'll ground, baked in cakes and served hot"
 Upon returning to the city the editors devoted themselves to the clipping of miscellaneous pleasures, and to the gouging out of paragraphic recreations Amusement ioated In the air; diver sion was sprawled out everywhere; indeed, any man who could not have enjoyed himself in Detroit at that time would die of enRUi at a Georgia camp meeting. The weather was warm, but occasionally a delicious breeze, like the breath of May, but tinged with the mellow perfume of ripened year, breathed upon us.

 have always felt a strong desire to travel in a foreign land, to look from foreign shore and feel sweet and happy dependence upon the American flag. I have never travelled enough, have never passed through that refining experience which teaches to believe that Americas idea of civili- ration is barbaric. sm narrow minded enough to believe that light from the throne of God falls upon the American eagle We'll, had a desire to go abroad, and, accompanied by George Armstrong, city editor of the Free Press, I went over into Windsor, Canada For the first time stood under foreign flag, but the flag did not seem to care: 1t waved just as it always waves, l suppose, but the breeze that agitated it most was gratiHed to see, came from the United States We walked up through the town without attracting much notice. The people moped along though their affairs had all been wound up, and noticed that a dog, annoyed by flea, bit himself in lazy, foreign fashion. l saw a negro standing on the street, and so home-like was his complexion and so familiar was the thickness of his lips that thought 1t my duty to speak to him in a familiar and cheerful dialect, said, "Look yere, man, look yere whut you doin' in dis cuis white mans country2 W'yn't you g'long back down wander whar de woodpecker uluSS HIS uytu suAuOW III ue bayou An W1Ar 0c grasshopper clings to de noddn bloom O de cotton stalk?"

 He threw up his head the whites of his eyes gleamed. "Yas, sah yas," he cried "Yas, sah, do dat, sho: CT haw, hawl" The genuine southern negro sprang from under the Canadian cover.
 We went to a hotel and there met Captain Ed. Singleton, editor of the Mt. Spencer Ky, NetC Home
 "When are you going back over into Detroit2" l asked.
 "I may never go back," he answered
 "Why, aren't you a delegate to the convention?"
 "Yes"

 "Wish she would. I'd like to get Bill Perdue and Nat SArver and Jerry Thomas, and a lot of other fellers and go over there and clean them pizeners"

 MT. Brizentine declared that he bought the paper every week at Billy Smiths, and that whenever he left the city, always had his favorite publication forwarded to him. We'll, it went on this way until I had met fifty devoted readers, all patrons of the enterprising Billy. It made feel proud, but in my exultation did not forget busi- ness. I called on a number of patent medicine men and assured them that advertisement in paper meant shower of gold.
