so easy as in Europe.
Ihaye recently however had o lesson OF another
kind Part of my baggage was forwarded by Ex-
press from New-York via Bremen to Gotha. 1T was
not necessary that the articles should be examined
until they reached the latter place. but when they
came found that box had been opened IN Bremen
and so roughly rcpacked that many things were
damaged-further that trunk, wired and sealed nj
the same time had been forced open during tho tran
sit from Bremen to Gotha and number OF articles
distracted. Tho matter was instantly made known
TO the railway company and 10 the express agent in
Bremen. The officers Of the former stated that If
could give them the exact ucgh Of the articles stolen
clothing) j would be reimbursed at the rate OF six
groschen (l5 coRtsl per pound-othcrwise not! The
express agent in Bremen wrote rather impairment
letter saving the theft probably occurred in New
York or during the voyage. and il was no affair OF
his! This is all the satisfaction got or shall ever
get l must add, however that l have formerly
sent articles safely by the same house-AuSin Bald

The moral of which is to those who send baggage
by express TO or tOm Europe insure the value OF tiie
contents at the time and hold the agents strict
ly responsible for any loss In Germany, the Gov
erament post is at tho same time package express
and pays instantly for its failures.
The preSumable expense of an American travelling
in Europe this year of tho Exposition, may be thus
gaugcd:
l. For q very shrcwd. careful, economical single gentle
man, an average Of 81 per day go
For moderately economical. yet with TASTE Tor
recreation. Sc per day.
g. For i6snrous person. $40 per day.
A. For tho OF Petroleum aud bhoddy. $40 to 80 per
day
The monthly expense of residence in Germany,
Switzerland or Italy
For the first class OF persons, $50.
For the second class Of persons. SO
For the third class Of persons. $780,
For the fourth class Of persons Impossible 10 statc
From these Indications those intending TO como
NAV, I think easily make an estimate in advance
which shall not vary more than 20 por cent from tho
facts of their cXpcrience H..
