What He Saw

The writcr, in company with several other Aon Arbor people, attended tbe reform club excursión to Port Huron, via Detroit, last Friday, and jotted down a few thinga whieh carne within his rango of vision : lic saw tuu dawuiuu of a beautiful day. He taw a jolly crowd of about 1,000 peoplo, start out happy iu the prospects of a glorious tiuio. He saw the train start off in good shapc, about an half-hour behind scUodule time. Arriviug at Detroit he saw the steamer "City of Detroit"- and hor captain, MeKay. Swiuging out into the river in good bbape, his eyes rested on the famous Belle Isle l'ark, which the Detroit eouncil didn't suoeeed in selling the other uight, for a wonder, for they most generally sucooed in doing what they ought not to. Hú saw a barge with otily two tows, but he saw another with live. IIo saw scvoral Oarfield and Arthur colors fiying froui masts, but uary a oiie for Hancock and English. He saw several suiacks- wostly fishing sinacks. He saw a jolly captain going up Btrenm, and a surly, gruff one coming down. He saw several people get part way up the huracane deck ladder, but owing to the persuasivo eloquenoe of a ferociouslooking deck hand at the top of the same, change their miod about it, and return. He saw poopie commence eating their lunch as soun as they got on board the b lat, and keep it up until they got back. He saw several agod poople tiking in the "show" for al) it was worth, and several youngsters taking in tho lunch in the samo way. At l'ort Iluron he saw a rcd-faced, rad,whiskered,red tempcred individual, known to famc as a Oapt. About 125 excursionista called to see him at 3i o'clock p. m.,at the Port Huron doek, but didn't, only at a tantalizing distance. Ho saw several poople who wore sick. He saw several people who were indignant. He saw hoveral peoplo who were tired. He saw several peoplo who were jolly. And there were several people he didn't see until they camc down on an Evcning Star. He saw a boat captain who by exercising a little accoiuoiodation could have saved a great deal of trouble, a grcat deal of expense, a great deal of righteous indignation, a grcat deal of suspense, and many houra of tedious waiting by tircd men, women and children. He saw very few red ribbon badges worn by the excursionists. He saw two dark couiplexioned fellows with eurly hair, who pat in .tho state-room of the steamer, one of whoiu made a terrible noise, yelling and halloeing at evcrybody who passed them, but no one interfcred iu the pastimo which they ovidontly enjoyad. He saw several good-looking girls flirt with several fellows, soma of whoui were good-looking and somo not. He saw Detroit again at about 8 o'clock p. in. He saw several diaappointed ones when it wa3 announced that the train would wait two hours before leaving for home. Ho saw several gentleuianly, aoooiumodaiing railroud uien. He saw many smiles of approval as " all aboard" was sung out for the excursionista benefit, and tho train pulled out. He saw souie funny scènes on the train, and some not funny. He saw one or two young ladics - in stature - who sang "byebaby-bye" for the benefit of the whole car, whon the same propeily applied to none in the car except themsolves and their couipanions. He saw several girls vary tho monotouy of tilling their inouths with peanuts, by throwing tho same at people in various parts of the car, and then laugh at their actious becausc it was so funny. Ho saw a fellow who tried to keep his girl's nock from being broken over the back of the car soat by bandaging the sanie with his arm. It was a success. He saw a few young men - in their own estiuiation- going through the cars hooting, yelling, disturbing those wbo desirod quiet by puiling off their hats, shaking them, and in various othor wayó, who ought to havo been taken by tbeir uiothers aftej they got homo, nicely spanked, put to bed, and not allowed to go out again until they learned to behave themselves. Ho saw very many who had a tip-top good time and lots of fun without interfering with other people in any manncr. He saw a tired fellow wending his way to Thompson utreet about 12} o'clock a. m., Saturday.
