Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-08-02

station tO one side, but the people got on to it, and they marched Sown there about l, goo of them. IL was at night, and they carried torches made of sticks with pieces of peat on the end. I hal tO make q speech, and then they played and sang and danced. Everybody danced \ lot of tho little girls wcre harefooted and ragged, but they dancCd too
 II gave n benefit for the poor. and 1t nottcd about SI. OOO, which l turned over to my uncle, who f. a priest there When I left, the streets were arched with rcen arches, and the poor people even had illu- minated their houses with little candles They took the horses from my carriage and pulled 1t along. Everybody kissed mc-mcn, women. girls, childrcn-every- body. I never was SO touched In my life
 There is n lot of pretty girls in Ireland such fine complcxinns, such bright eycsl But, then, that's noted the world over.
 London Didn't Impress Him.
 II liked London in a way. and in n way didn't. They don't treat n man right there-that Is, the upper classes They put two prize fighters in n ring like rats, and if they don't go at each otser they shout and urge them on.
 ''The best thing in London was the music halls. They are great But in most ways London is not in it with New York. I don't think much of the English girls They can't talk to you like tho American girls can. Give me the Ameri- can girls every time.
 There wasn't much in London that impressed me. went to see Westmin- ster abbey. But left the sightseeing to my wife I don't think much of this thing of chasing around looking at things. passed Edinburgh castle every day for a week. but didn't care to go in, and l didn't go in. The house of commons is a big building, of course But London is a slow town.
 The way they serve drinks there is rotten. Why, such Q thing as ice is out of the question. In some places if you ask for ice they think you are crazy. There wasn't anything fit to drink, and didn't care much for what they had to eat. They didn't have any fruits, and that and tho ice worried me all the time. don't care much for the English hotels They don't seem to mo to be run right | They arc all so slow. If you want n sand wich, why, they bring you in 10 courses before you get the sandwich. It take: them three hours to eat dinner. while | only take three-quarters of an hour or ar hour at most. didn't get on with them | at all well. My ideas of things were & different, and they and couldn't talk to gether.
 II met several lords there, but they didn't striko me as being anything out o the ordinary.
 l Jim Liked Paris.
 I "The French like the American peopl, right straight through, and don't believe the English do like them. I got on witt the French we'll. though l couldn't say [ word of their talk or they of English. went everywhere in Paris. I'll say that | didn't overlook anything, and that coyer the case. I saw cvcrything-well, won | go into details, but there's nothing slov | about Paris And the women arc prett. and we'll dressed I was going to say the. were tho prettiest and tho best dresse' women in the world. but I don't thinl they quito come up to the bcst of our New York girls
 Those French girls are full of ginger They arc alive right straight through. am you don't have to talk to them to under stand what thcy're about They do it al with pan;omime and you know just wha they mean. And they got themselves u so we'll. Thcir clothes it them, and the know what kind of things to wear an how to wear them. But I managed ( talk to them You see, l would say 1t { a man, and hc would say 1t h French { whoever l was talking with.
