EFFEcTs OF CHEAP TRAvELLING.-The stages
plying between San Jose and Monterey, SAYS
the San Jose Telegraph. carry passengers
through for four dollars--to San Juan for two
dollars, and from San Jose to San Francisco far
four dollars-by the schooner route, two dollars;
thus rendering the facilities of travel accessible
to all. Since the prices have been reduced the
travel has increased four fold, and the hotels of
San Juan axe generally crowded with strangers
visiting the valley.

An Idea of Eurone.

Mr.. Daniels the former editor of the Rich
mond Er1mine7, Is quite discouraged about Eu-
ropean travel and society. We have no doubt
that the following will give better idea of the
old world, than much that IS written; and to
those who cannot make it convenient to travel,
the remarks are very consolatory. This foreign
travel is not what it is cracked up TO be. We
shall always think But it. however, we
have different opinion after our visit to Egypt
and Nineveil, which we contemplate taking as
soon as the bridge is extended over the Allan
tic, we will promptly inform our readers. Here
is what Mr.. Daniels writes:
"It may be strrnge bnt it is nevertheless

you will espy, on one of the tree stems little
brown, monkey fed looking rat, with a sort of
rabbits head, and foxy tail as long as It's body,
and curling over it-and this is my lord squir-
rel! Down he comes, leaping fron branch to

reaches the turf and sits upon bis hind legs,

not move or he is off; do not wink SO much AS
an eyeld All rightr his merry brown eyes
seem to ask. Y es. all right; for nut drops from
between his tech into his fore paws and giving
his mighty consequential tail an extra curl he
makes ready for break fast. That is another
sight--the way in which squirrel deals with a
nut. First of all he shakes and rattles it, that
he may be sure there is something inside; and
then le twists it around in lis paws, till he gets
the narrow end uppermost, for he knows that
at The upper end the shell is the hinnest ;rthen
he begins to CRATE and file till he has wormed
his way through, getting noiser aud noiser as
the hole gets bigger; and then come intervals
of quiet, which mean that his teeth are in the
kernel. and that he is eating all within reach !;
for a squirrel never has patience to wait till the
kernel is clean out he eats it by installments
IN the shell, and trust him for getting the whole
OF IT. Well after the nut he will perhaps pick
the bones OF ali apple if there be one within
reach; and when he has had his ELL he will
wash his face witt. his paws, and his paws with
his face, and, feeling quite clean, and spruce,
and comfortable. he will roll over on the turf
making funny little noises and giving queer lit
tie jumps. and then away up the next tree
