pAssFNGFR.LIFE IN EURoPE.


AMSTERDAM, July 2s.-As to the Exposition, shall
content myself and hope-content most readers,
with very slight notice of it. Perhaps its highest
merit is that it will attract to Holland visitors
who otherwise might not have gone and whatever
may be said of the exhibition the country, and above
all the city in which it is held are full of attraction,
Spite of its peculiar interest for them, Holland does
rot seem to be much overrun by American tourists.
Il lies little, though only little, of the great
highway which most Americans traverse either in
coming or going, don't know whether many of
them go to the Rhine by way of Rotterdam 1t is not
desirable route, unless for cheapness sake. or for
Hollands sake. That singular variety of the human
species which travels on Cooks excursion tickets is
taken by way of Rotterdam because it is cheap; and
to Cook and his kind cheapness is everything. 1t
ioes have the advantage also of being the quickest
route TO Amsterdam. Next to that is by way of Ant
werp, which / followed only because l could not
leave London in time for the Rotterdam boat.
If an American should make this his first expert
ment of European travel, he would be likely to
turn his head hOmeward again in pure disgust
Here as elsewhere he has much to learn about Euro
pean steamers. He has heard that the railways are
better than his oN,n and he finds that true. He
poets the steamers TO be good in proportion whereas
they arenferiOr beyond all comparison to the magnf
cent boats that navigate the Hudson and the Mis-
sissppi In the many short steamer translts ne VIII
make in Europe he will find one-and so far as
know only one-good line of steamers, that which
carries the Irish Limited Mail from HOlyhead to
QueenstOwn-covering in four hours its 40 miles
of sea between London and Dublin. The line from
LOnden to Antwerp is cheap that one is curious to
know where tho profit comes in. They seem to take
it out in badness. You may leave London at 425 in
the aftenooR and go by rail on the Great Eastern
line to Harwieh. If you do not wish to be covered
with the contempt of railway guards You will please
pronounce it HaTdge. The train is express till it
comes to tho Harwich junction thence on to the
port it eraws From the train to the boat there is
a rush. Old hands anticipate n crowd. and mean to
secure berths The passage from Harwieh to Antwerp
is advertised at - hOurs-from 8 D. IN. to 9next
