And ne'er till lost is mem'ry's power, Shall we forget the thrilling hour Of our swift passage down the "Soo," In " Indian John's" light birch canoe.
Fort Brady, erected in 1823, is an old and important U. S. military post. Contiguous to this Indian village, it commands the St. Mary's river and the ship canal.
From "Picturesque Mackinac," Published and Sold by the Author.
In the vicinity of the Sault St. Marie are several streams where sportsmen go in search of speckled trout. The nearest points are the rapids on both sides of St. Mary's river, and the small streams between the islands on the Canadian side. There are also several places from one to five miles above and below the falls where anglers resort. Indians, or halt breeds, with canoes, have to be employed as guides. Our evening was fully occupied in- specting the government works, which well repay a visit. The immense and perfect structure of masonry, the water power made to run all the machinery necessary to operate the mon- ster gates of the lock, and the dynamos which furnish the electric lighting, were perfect in all details, and quite in keeping with these was the neat, tidy appearance of all the surroundings. The ingenuity of man is conspicuous in the easy manner with which this ponderous affair is manipulated. As all the shipping from the lower lakes passes through this canal, tourists for Lake Superior have a choice of numerous steamers of either the American lines, via the south shore, or the Canadian lines, via the north shore route. We witnessed the locking of the most considerable amount of tonnage which had ever passed through the canal at one time. It consisted of two of the largest steam barges, with two immense consorts. The advantages of taking the Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company's route to the Soo are: it takes the west shore of Lake Huron, the passage of the rivers by mid-day, and includes the attractions of Petoskey and Mackinac Island at the least expenditure of time and money. Leaving Cleveland Tuesday or Thursday evening, and rising at four, the first morning only, all the interesting features are seen by daylight.
Thursday morning, at 6 o'clock, we commenced our return trip, arriving at Mackinac at 16 o'clock, and in two hours our favorite City of Mackinac came in from the south again. We went on board for supper, while the steamer crossed to St. Ignace and back, and bid- ding the island a final adieu at 20.30 o'clock, arrived at Detroit Saturday morning at 1. 10 o'clock. As we had until 22 o'clock that evening before the steamer left for Cleveland, where she would arrive early the following morning, we enjoyed the pleasure of showing the beauties of our own city to our fellow passengers from the southern terminus of the route.
An Enchanted Spot .- Says the well-known writer, Miss Alice E. Ives, in the Detroit Post, Aug. 11, 1884, "I never had much faith in the attractions of Mackinac. I supposed that people went there because it was the correct and fashionable thing to do, or because the guide books had deluded the public with highly colored descriptions, and that there was considerably more talk than cider about the whole thing. Consequently when I took the City of Mackinac for the round trip it was with the settled conviction not to remain more than a few hours. I was deaf to all entreaties to stay. I pleaded work which could not wait and a wardrobe which was all contained in a shawl strap. *
* * 'It will well repay you,' urged a
*
*
*
friend who had seen nearly all this country, and part of Europe, and I began to weaken.
When the steamer ran up to the wharf and the familiar faces of many Detroiters nodded a pleasant welcome from below, I was far enough in the toils to feebly acquiesce in the proposal to see what could be done about accommodations. * *
* The charm of the place had began to tell upon me. * * * We climbed to the top of the bluff, entered the citadel, and looked over the parapet on one of the grandest views of the world. The great blue lake seemed to lap the yellow sands with a soft caress, and to fold upon its bosom the far-away purple shores drowsing in the still air of the dying day. * * * It needed no Calypso to make the thraldom perfect. * * * I determined when I did go back it should be on the City of Mackinac. It was so clean, so pretty, so sweet even to daintiness, and so strong and staunch, the officers were so gentlemanly, and the discipline and attendance so perfect, I couldn't think of stepping foot on any other steamer. This meant a longer stay, but I didn't seem to mind that now, and when our friend embarked for the down trip, I regarded him with a sort of pity, as one who had turned his back upon paradise. * *
* Quaint old legends haunt every wooded knoll, cave, bluff and romantic walk. The oppor- tunities for strolling and exploring are legion, and when tired there is always the luring charm of the pebbly beach, and the great expanse of blue waters. The old settlers are fruitful sub- jects for study. *
* * As we once more stood on the deck of the beautiful steamer City of Mackinac, a lady said: 'It seems as if we were only sailing away for a little while and that we must surely come back to it again, as if we could never quite leave the enchanted island.' Verily Mackinac is an enchanted island, and unlike the land of the lotus eaters, where it was always afternoon, it seems with its fresh, clear, invigorating air to be always morning."
The Beauties of our own Country rival those of the Old World.

CHICAGO, ROCK ISLAND & PACIFIC RAILWAY
By reason of its central position and close relation to all principal lines East and West, at initial and terminal points, constitutes the most important mid-conti- nental link in that system of through transportation which invites and facili- tates travel and traffic between cities of the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. It is also the favorite and best route to and from points East, Northeast and Southeast, and corresponding points W est, Northwest and Southwest.
The Rock Island system includes in its main line and branches, Chicago, Joliet, Ottawa, La Salle, Peoria, Geneseo, Moline and Rock Island, in Illinois; Davenport, Muscatine, Washington, Fairfield, Ottumwa, Oskaloosa, West Liberty, Iowa City, Des Moines, Indianola, Winterset, Atlantic, Knoxville, Audubon, Harlan, Guthrie Centre and Council Bluffs, in Iowa; Gallatin, Trenton, Cameron and Kansas City. in Missouri; Leavenworth and Atchison, in Kansas; Albert Lea, Minneapolis and St. Paul, in Minnesota; Watertown in Dakota, and hundreds of intermediate cities, towns, villages and stations.
THE GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE
Guarantees its patrons that sense of personal security afforded by a solid, thoroughly ballasted road-bed; smooth tracks of continuous steel rail; sub- stantially built culverts and bridges; rolling stock as near perfection as human skill can make it; the safety appliances of patent buffers. platforms and air-brakes; and that exacting discipline which governs the practical operation of all its trains. Other specialties of this route are Transfers at all connecting points in Union Depots, and the unsurpassed comforts and luxuries of its Passenger Equipment.
The Fast Express Trains between Chicago and the Missouri River are com- posed of well ventilated, finely upholstered Day Coaches, Magnificent Pullman Palace Sleepers of the latest design, and sumptuous Dining Cars, in which elaborately cooked meals are leisurely eaten, "good Digestion waiting on Appetite, and Health on both." Between Chicago and Kansas City and Atchison, are also run the Celebrated Reclining Chair Cars.
THE FAMOUS ALBERT LEA ROUTE
Is the direct and favorite line between Chicago and Minneapolis and St. Paul, where connections are made in Union Depots for all points in the Territories and British Provinces. Over this route, Fast Express Trains are run to the watering places, summer resorts, picturesque localities, and hunting and fish- ing grounds of Iowa and Minnesota. It is also the most desirable route to the rich wheat fields and pastoral lands of interior Dakota.
Still another DIRECT LINE, via Seneca and Kankakee, has been opened between Newport News, Richmond, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Lafayette and Council Bluffs, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul and intermediate points.
