the death of a sister, and while in Paris
Mrs. Wilds, of Section 1, received tele-
gram of the death of her son. Her
daughter, young lady, is with her. Sec
ton left one lady in Paris quite sick.
We had seventy-ffve in our section, of
whom one-half remained IN Paris, to
come home one, two and three weeks
later. Of the other sections we are not
so well posted, but quite Il number re-
mained.
4 TUNNEL CLUB.
The immense number of tunnels passed
through along the Mediterranean coast
suggested to the members of Section
(Which had all the talent embodied within
it, if we would take their say-so of the
matter) the novel idea of s'Tunnel
Club" In this one particular we eotU
give them the credit they so fondly and
egetistically covet. The articles, rules
and regulations were in substance as fol-
lows: Article 1. No lights allowed in the
car, and matches strictly prohibited. Ar
ticle 2. No gentleman and wife permitted
to remain together in the same car. Arti-
Gle 3. Antediluvian spinsters who have a
tinent not admitted. Article f. Old
bachelors 1--WE did not belong to the fourth
section) who went to see all the Ariadnes
and Venuses lin marble) need not apply.
Article 3. Marriage engagements made
in America not to count. Article 6. Dis
cussions limited to ten minutes, unless
some light is thrown upon the subject
the emerging of the train from the tun-
nel-when all members are expected to
be found in their seats with their arms
folded. This society proved to be a sue
cess with the fourth section, and they
will henceforth have the enviable reputa-
ton of being the charter lodge of the
Tunnel Club Society. great many
| things might be said at the expense of
Section 4, and, as they were always fore
most in talent and intelligence, they shall
have the benefit of these few items: An
elderly lady of the party, in passing
through picture gallery, asked: FFWho
is that?" "That? Why, that's Jesus
Christ" said the custodian. &c You don't
tell me! Why, L thought it was John the
Baptisty' This section had the old gen
rleman who always wanted the conduc-
tor to repeat description after having
already prolonged it to the dissatisfaction
of a majority of the party, and the young
man who invariably got 10 the front and
remained there, Notwithstanding there
was only room for one to see at a time.
Also, the young lady who attracted the
attention of their French conductor, to
the dissatisfaction and pleasure of the
balance. Also, the old gentleman from
Cleveland, Ohio, who took a similar trip
last year, who was always heard to re-
mark, when any one complained of the
fare, which, on the continent, was noi
: the best at all time" It's twenty-five pei
cent. better than it was last year, Or
his ocean voyage homeward he was OBJ
; served by iocular friend of another sec
ton to be casting up his accounts ovel
the side of the ship, when the joker hui
morously said: 'FIt's twenty-five per cent
better than it was last year, is it not Mr.
, J-?'' eco away, young man, g
, away; I'm being punished enough =
? The woman was in this section who al
, ways visited places that you did not, ant
'it was the grandest sight ever saw il
j.. my life. You ought to have seen it. Oh
l my! how grand"' On seeing bedbu:
. she declared it was the first she had seel
f since she left home.
