What 1t Costs TO Keep n Real Nice Party
SIX Months Abroad.


c. C. Fulton, editor Of the Baltimore
Amrio1n, writes as follows OF his recent
European trip:
Many OF our readers who Travelled with
Us on this journey VIII naturally have a
desire to know at what cost such an Euso-
pean tour can be maderand the length Of
time We gave 70 each Of the principal cit
les on the Continent Il may seem TO some
that our stay /: Rome. or Naples, or Flor-
enee, or Nieana was not long enough, but
We assure them that We viewed everything
of real importance in all Of those cities
We did not have any idle days. nor did
We halt for rest or stop for rain and bed
weather. We were always in motion, go
ing To bed tinsd and getting up refreshed.
On the same day that We entered the ball
on the dome Of St Peters We Wsrs down
in the bowels OF the earth, exploring the
catacOmbS passing on the route the Coli
q and the ruins OF ancient Rome. In
the evening vs would take Q drive in the
PARKS, and At night attend the operas, con
eerts or theatres. In short We were on s
fye months frolIc, and evsry moment was
precious and enjoyable. We few over the
Continent singing rejoicing and happy,
aud were everywhere Fegsrded Is the jol-
" Americans" We never travelled OF
Sunday, and this vas our only day OF ret,
being al that vi desired OF required-
We were absent from New York Just
hve months and one day, or one hundred
and ffry-fve days in all, which was spent
IS follows:
10 DAYS on the ocean.
! day in Liverpool
I DAYS in London first visit.
Sdays in Paris ifnt visit.
/ day Il A8rsetil!eS
day At Nice.
! day II Monaco.

days II Killarney lakes.
3days ii Cork.
% days in railroad travel.
9 days on the ocean lhomewardk
lS5 DAYS from New York I New York.
Il is an admitted fact that the cost
OF travel in Europa With \ party Of ladies
Is much heavier than with all gentlemen.
The cost OF living in Paris IS also oGe-thiu
higher this year than ever before SUI
We ind in footing mp the costs OF this ex.
tenEiye tour that 1t amounts 70 but SB y
for each Of the tourists about 81 per day.
This includes the ocean passage out and
home and Ill the expenses Of travel In
GLIDING carriages. guides. fees, operas, the
aires and amBsemeRtS We travelled first
cisss all the time, stopped a. the best hO-
tel. and made no special effort 70 ecouO
mize, but the most strenuous efforts TO
prevent being sEindled. Three or four
Young men travelling together ought 70
make the same our taF about 500 and
with ngid economy AZ 4 still smaller figure.
Il may be proper 70 add that the whole OF
our party were persistent water drinkers,
and although We were everywhere told thai
Eater was unhealthy, and Ice destructive,
we 1uek TO our avorite beverage, with
daily improving health and spirits,and en-
tire treedom trpm Rowan and other tpyen,
Wethfnk that eur combined weight on re-
turning was fully fifty pounds more than
when We EMBARKED and that the increase
vas judiGiously distributed among those
who needed Il most
THr highest taxes in Harrison eOanty,
