from bic long sea- sickness to think Of undertaking

in two compartments, with seats for two in each.

wrath, but it was poured on deaf ears, nobody
understanding English; Boston went there with his
foreign indignation, with no better success. The
Captain tried to explain to both, but neither was in

erCwls Chef-al speaking at once, all very red in the
face, and winding up with chorus of execration,
in which all three join heartily, having hit upon
one point Of general sympathy. Chef being in au.
lhority, carries the day; they adjourn to the Office,
in boiling temperature and pay. Meanwhile,
summon the ex-commissaire, and quietly learn the
facts of the case. The carriage, indeed, belongs to
the one who hires it, and the price is the same,
whether one or six 60 inside; but the driver is for
hidden to take any one up with himself without ex-
ira fare. He added, however, that this injunction
is utterly disregarded by them as soon as they are
out of sight of the Office and that, by giving gul.
den each to the six Positions (for they change as
often as the hOmes) the passenger secures his seat
and the goodwill at the same time. In fact the
temper Of the driver and the speed of travel are SO
much improved by judicious expenditure in this
way that they are pretty sure to get the money,
even if the fare has been paid at the Office. And 80
it proved in our case each accepting the gulden
(trinkgid) unhestatngly though forbidden to do so
in the same code by which the seat was forbidden.
At the first post, while the horses were changing
and the gentlemen refreshing themselves with
Bayarlan beer, went into q meadow, and intro

Our road, an excellent macadamized one, was all
in Bavaria, passing through extensive pine forests
where brown deer were feeding and through highly
cultivated districts, now following the course of
streams through green valleys, now winding gradu-
ally over the hills The scenery, though not of bold
OF striking features, pleasant to look upon; like
seine faces which, but for their gracious and kindly
expression, would be tiresOme. We dined at Neu
Maikt New Market, an old village, 30 quiet, so
still, one could fancy that the morning dew had been
tinctured with chlOrofOrm and all the inhabitants
were asleep; but flowers were awake in almost all
the windows, and fountains of cool spring-water
were in the street, constantly flowing. The win
dows of the old i'm were curtained with green
house plants; there was here also courtyard, and
a piazza upon which the second-stOry windows
opened, running alopg two sides, full of blooming
plants, and grapevine from the yard below was
trained over the railing on one side. The dinner
might be eycelled in variety, but scarcely in the
quality of the dishes, comparing it with the memo
