starteu from New YORK on q trip to
Europe. The journey was somewhat
unexpected to Mr.. Mullln, who had no
idea OF going until about ten days be fore
the time of sailing. The Rev. Mr.. Hub
bard had been In falling health for some
Time, and his physicians had recon-
mended q sea voyage as the only means
OF restoring and preserving him for flu
ture usefulness.
One day about the middle of January
he stopped In Mr.. Mullins store and re-
marked that he intended TO start for
Europe On Saturday, the 19.h instant,
but that considering his condition he
would very much like to have company.
After some further conversation Mr..
Mullin agreed to go with him If he would
postpone his trip one week, and TO this
Mr.. Hubbard readily assented. Conse-
qaet tly on Saturday, the Goth, the party
ielt New York bound for Antwerp. Tbs
weather wss rough, and Il took the
steamer Is days to reach her destination,
After taxing a rest they proceeded to
Brussels, whtre the Pew. Mr.. Hubbard
stopped, while Mr.. Mullin and con pro.
ceeded on to Cologne. While in that
city they visited the famous cathedral
and other objects OF interest. Mr.. Null
lin says that they also saw some OF the
finest paintings In the world, the works
OF the old masters, that are valued at
fabulous amounts.
From Cologne they proceeded TO Frank
ford by rail-, and experienced one of the
most uncomfortable journeys imaginable.
The cars were supposed 10 be heated BY
steam and lighted By gas, but for some
reason tn st am was not there and the
gas seemed TO have business elsewhere, so
tbe travellers were Obliged to use all their
wraps to keep from freezing. They
finally reached Frankfort on one OF the
coolest MORNINGS they ever experienced.
Right here 1t may be said that they did
not find any cars in Europe like those in
America. Here travelling is luxury,
but In Europe 1t is attended with many
diseomforts. The coaches are neither
heated nor Il. hted as they are IN this
country, and such things as toilet rooms
are unknown. After spending short
time in Frankfort they visited Ba lie,
Switzerland, and from there went to
Luzern. Every worth seeing was
visited in this ty, and they then con-
tinued their journey.
From Luzern they crossed the mighty
Alps awilh their snow crowned tops,
which, however, they were not obliged to
ascend ss modern science and engineer
ing has made the passage somewhat
easier by the construction OF G5 tunnels,
one OF which, the ST. Gotarl, is the
longest in the word. At las, they
reached Milan aud PaGed upol the monu-
ment erected To William Tell, the hero OF
Switzerland. From Milan thdy Jour
neyed 10 Venice, AMI although 1t is a city
three times the size OF W ilnHn9tou there
ia not single horse in the place. The
streets are canals and all the travelling i.
done by boats. From Venice they weni
to Florence and from Florence to Rome
ard while there visited tine renowned ST
Peters Cathedral ard the Vatican
While there they saw an elderly man sur
rounded by priests. who seemed to BIZ
the observed OF all.
Mr., Mullin, with the lutitiye eufiosi

priests and inquired:

said Herbert,
While in Rome they witnessed A ram,
of base ball by the American PLAYERS
and were greatly amused at the interes
shown by the residents OF the ancien
city. From Rome they proceeded t
Naples, or the kingdom of The two 3 ellie
