Wall Street, paid me a visit and made a picturesque "trip to the
Pictured Rocks of Lake Superior," writes me after his safe return to the
city, piquing himself on that adventure, after having exchanged

the habits of city life in different lines as the Doctor and the Major,
should have extended their summer excursion as far as Michilimackinack.
