JENNIE JUNE IN EUROPE The Damp, Chilly, Miserable Season in Prance Avoided by a Pleasant Trip to Brussels. A City Made Up of Odd Divisions of Lan guage, Manners, People and Modes of Living. Her Visit to the Famous Field of Waterloo—Some of the Nota ble Buildings. riie Return Voyage to America and Its Experiences—The Trip at an End. Covvesrtoridence of the fJloho. New Yop.k City. Oct. 12.—How bright and. suuny and altogether lovely Paris looked on the morning of our departure. "You are leaving at exactly the right time," said a French friend consolingly. "In a week more a damp, chilly, miserable season will set in and we shall not see sun light for perhaps six weeks." Paris with out sunlight to those who have spent June or the first exquisite days of September there would be an anomaly, and the pros pect almost reconciled us to saying farewell to our pleasant house in the quaint eld fashioned court, to the pretty bit of park like garden upon which we looked from our Windows, to the high, hospitable dining room, with its great table and always freshly-furnished basket of fruit and flow ers, to the salon, so handsome and home like, so unlike the salon of the foreign pen sion, and linally to the slim youug man in the blouse who acted as chambermaid, and the brisk, active la<*v who was cashier and manager. Still it was with a feeling of sadness that our procession filed out of the stone archway and took our places in the carriages that were to convey it to the Gare dv Nord. Brussels, with its riF.I.D OF WATERLOO, is the point of greatest interest between Paris and Antwerp, the latter city being the point from which we were to embark for home. Brussels is called "Paris in miniature," but though this title is suftice.ntly . uiggestive of its brightness and gayety, it €mcoifHL or Stuudule. does nothing like justice to the individual flavor, the special interests and lively in dustries that make tiie pretty town so attractive. It is true that what you can liiwl in Paris can be found in Brussels in less degree and built on a smaller pattern, as it were; i>ut there is a repose and soft ness in the historic air and atmosphere of Brussels which one does not find in Paris, where scenes of violence have been too le cent for the dreadful colors to have faded or mellowed into tints, and where the breath of the brilliant night, even more than tin: light of <iay, seems charged with elec tr.c and explosive material. From, whichever direction the traveler arrives in Brussels he will be pretty sure to find his resting place in the Palace Royale, in the upper and fashionable por tion of the town. Brussels is distinctly divided into an upper and lower portion. The upper dates from the eleventh century, when tiie counts of Leige erected their dwellings ON" THE HEIGHTS, and surrounded by a retinue of French knights made French the language of the Burguudian court ami aristocracy, while Flemish remained the language of the lower or original town, the name of which, ac cording to Baedeker, is derived from brook — marsh, broeksele —dwelling on the marsh. whence Brussels. The characteristics es tablished long ago have always distin guished it, and still cling to it, the lower town being still the cent* of industry and commerce, with flemish as the language of its people, and ilu 1 upper town, the portion which contains the park, the line hotels, the splendid residences, and with the ex ception of the Guild houses and the Hotel de Ville, most of the monumental and other structures of importance. We had only one day and part of another to spend in Brus sels, for our steamer, theßelgenland,was to sail on the afternoon of the third day—and we had some final matters to attend in Antwerp— where, indeed, we should have been glad to remain for some time and re peat our pleasant experiences of the months previous. We felt, therefore, tnatwemust make the most of our time, and were de lighted to obtain rooms in the Hotel dTEurope, overlooking the place, and from which the fust object that greeted us was tha FIXE EQUESTRIAN STATUE of Godfrey do Bouillon, which stands in the center of the great square. The tisane is bronze and in full Crusader's armor, the mailed hand of the knight clasps firmly the sacred banner, which is unfurled, and on the massive stone pedestal is inscribed the names am! titles of this mediaeval hero, who was •'Duke of Brabant and king of Jerusalem." The Place Royale stands at the head of the Rue Royale, one of the most beautiful streets of the town. You can go its whole length to one of the portes or old gates by tramway, and it is a delightful and com pensating ride. The small park opposite the palace on the Hue Royale, though small, has shaded avenues and retired walks, where women bring their knitting and children trundle their hoops, just as they do in the garden of the Tuilleries, while theßois de la Cambre in the environs, i beantiful wooded park of 400 or 500 acres, iffords a drive as charming as that of the Bois de Boulogne. The Palace park con tains numerous sculptures—a Diana and Narcissus, figures representing the various trades and industries, a bust of PETER THE GREAT, and at the entrance on the Rue Royale em blematic figures of summer and spring. The Hungarian band plays every day here between 3 and 5 o'clock, and there is a con cert every evening during the summer at the "Vauxhall," in the park, where foi a franc one may hear evcellent music. The Place dv Congres and the Colonne dv Congres are also upon the Rue Rovale. The monument commem orates the establishment of the present con stitutional monarchy and the elevation of . Prince Leopold of Saxe-Cobnrg to the throne. The column, about 150 feet high, is surmounted by a statue of the king in ! bronze by Geefs. The figures in relief and the emblematic figures, representing the freedom of the press, of education, of pub lic worship and ot associative bodies, are by Geefs and Siinonis. In the near neighbor- j hood is the beautiful cathedral of St. Gu- | dule. This imposing gothic edifice, which dates from the thirteenth century, stands below the level of the Hue Royale, on an abrupt slope commanding a view of the lower town. The rich stained glass in the different recessional chapels represent his toric scenes and personages in the changing and eventful past of the Netherlands: many of them sacred to the memory of the em peror, Charles V. A GREAT FEATURE of the interior is the wonderfully carved oaken pulpit—representing the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Paradise. Below the desk, in the midst of thick foliage, all | kinds of animals may be distinguished. The i work was executed by Vanboeckhoven, and ! the handsome altar of carved wood by Goyers. It is but a short walk from the cathedral to the market platz and the Hotel de Ville, the most curiously historic structure in Bel gium. Around the courts are the various Guild halls, the most remarkable on the con- tinent. They are very quaint in architect ure, and each has its device on the gable— the butchers a swan, the shipper's the stern of a vessel. It is here that Charles V. is aid to have abdicated, and it was here that the two bruve young Flemish noblemen. Counts Egmont and Horn, were condemned to death by the Spanish viceroy, the jeal ous and implacable Duke or Alva. The sentence was executed in the center of the market place, and as we stood there the tragic picture so graphically described by Motley seemed to rise before our eyes with startling distinctness. The tide of our busy nineteenth century lite was sweeping across the open space, but this had no real existence. We saw only the noble figures in the Mower of their manhood witli twenty-live companions hardly less illustrious, who MET THEIR DEATH with a fortitude and heroism which will render them memorable to all time. From the tower of the Hotel de Ville, if one cares to climb so high, a magnificent view of the surrounding country can be obtained, the feature of which is the Lion monument on the Held of Waterloo. The galleries of Brussels, though well worth a visit, are not of paramount importance after Antwerp and the Louvre, and we therefore sacrificed them to the general desire to see the field of the great battle. The trip can be made by train or carriage—the former is the quicker, the latter the pleasanter—if the weather is line, as the way lies through the Bois de la Canibre, and a pretty country beyond, to the village of Waterloo. Nat urally, we selected the quickest route, and as we took an early start were soon de posited at the station, where a crazy old diligence stood waiting to convey us to the battlefield. The Lion monu ment, one naturally imagines, from its size. British heraldic device and conspicuous po sition, to be commemorative of the hard won victory, and one is amazed to find that it was erectea by the personal vanity of the Prince oi Orange as the place where he re ceived a severe wound. Certainly vanity o"euli;apt iysblp in this instance and raisde a monument to other deeds and other men, instead of its own. But indeed Waterloo requires no monument while the old Chateau of Hougo tuont with its bullet peppered walls and shattered towers stands to tell the story of the fierce and desperate struggle. This old chateau was the key of the situation and was held by the English against the most persistent and determined attacks by the French. When we descended from the monument, from which the treneral survey of the country is most beautiful and strik ing, we eluded officious guides and talking tourists and in silence retrospective quiet directed our steps along the side of the fur rowed field to the old chateau. We were admitted through the low, stout door by a peasant and his wife, who took us through the farm yard, the orchard and the little chapel, ex plaining with intelligent simplicity what ever was of interest. The woman was very kind and eager to show us courtesy Glasses of milk and small bouquets of pan sies had been placed 'on the well-scrubbed table when we entered the little room where the visitors' book was, and we gladly marked our appreciation by a little extra fee. "Jal toujours dcs fleurs pour les dames" was her smiling: parting salutation, as the little bouquets were pressed upon us. ACROSS TIIK FIEXD towards La Have Sainte we took our way, determined, since we were here and might never come again, to make the circuit. Ke ferring to our invaluable Baedeker, w.e managed to locate mentally the position of the opposing forces —even to the sunken road into which, as into a trap, the French troops fell—when making the last desperate charge. Had the French Cuirassiers known the lield better. Waterloo might have sent down a different story to history. As it was, Napoleon must have stood paralyzed to see his men, before they could recover their position, helplessly swept off by the allies, and our hearts wece freshly thrilled when we remembered the agony with which the final cry must have been wrung from him, "Tout est perdu! Sauve gui peut." It was a long walk back to the Hotel de Musee. but we were not sorry. The place had filled us ft:!! of the MEMORIES" OF HEROIC HEFDS and we dreaded to lose the exaltation of feeling by bating our illusions broken in upon. Arrived at the Hotel de Musee. kept by a trim little Englishwoman, a niece of a British senreant-major oi the Seventh Hussars of 1815. therefore no longer young, they were quickly dispelled. While waiting for our dinner we were invited to see the "museum," and found a very good and varied collection of skulls, all French of course, with calls embedded in them, but tons, sabres, articles and munitions of war bearing the letter "X," medals, drums, etc. "I collected all of these myself, madame; leastways 1 and my husband! We used to live in the little house across the way. The skulls he ploughed up, just farming the land. I used to keep :em under my bed for fear folks would see 'em. and when my husband died, and I bethought to make a museum of ;em for visitors, I rubbed 'em all up, yes'm. I polished these skulls with my own hands." "But weren't you afraid to have such things around? 7' asked a young lady of the party quizzically. "I afraid, miss! I am a soldier's daughter and a sol THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 18, 1883. —TWENTY "^AGES. dier's niece. Sergeant Cotton, who fought at Waterloo, and is buried over at Ilougo mont orchard, was my uncle." THAT SETTLED TUE POINT. We ate our dinner, and were in time for the 4:30 train. This was the last for us of Brussels. The next morning early we were On our way to Antwerp, and at 3 p. m. we had left the busy town with its magnificent (ji'.ay.^ ar.il shaded boulevards and were slowly steaming along the river Scheldt, with the British channel between us and the open sea. As we had gone on board the Belgenland on Saturday afternoon, we had some hours of that day and all of Sunday,which proved fair and calm, to lake stock of our com panions dv voyage. When an ocean trip is to last thirteen or fourteen days, it is Important to discover what the prospects are in the way oi human interest and asso ciation. The lied Star line is rather fa mous for its passengers. They are gener ally artists, professors and literary folks or foreigners who want to strike the continent direct without going around by England. Our congregation was no exception to the rule, the men were all professors and the women all teachers, with the exception of the wives of the professors, some lyric artists, some art students, a bride-elect, who had been to Paris to buy hertrousseau, a clergyman or two and a sprinkling of rich Americans returning home after a long residence abroad. Altogether they were A DELIGHTFUL CROWD. from the beautiful Agnes Huntingdon, who sang for us, to the pretty bride-elect, who made a picture that was altogether charm ing in a new Paris traveling costume —but was grieved beyond measure, because the groom-to-be had been obliged to return by an earlier opportunity, and had not seen her in it. She was not so sorry for this later, and made up her mind not to take a sea voyage for a wedding voyage ; but I anticipate, which was what none of us de sired to do, under the circumstances. The first Sunday was fair—l have said so be fore—but I feel like lingering over the memory of that Sunday. There was a bright and enthusiastic young lady teacher from the West, who had been to Hanover during her vacation to study German. The self-reliant air with which she put her cap on her head and stuck her hands in the pockets of her jacket was good to see. "I came over to study." she said, '"and I am only sorry I could not stay longer. I am going to save every cent till 1 get enough to go again and stay a year." "Do you know how I came?" she said to me subse quently. "I graduated from a high school and WON GREAT HONORS. I was offered a good position immediately and have been teaching ever since (seven years). I have been placed at the head of an important educational institution and entered upon my duties with eclat. There was a tine reception and speeches were made, but I assure you I felt like a fraud: I knew I had to make a speech; I had to state my plans—l knew they were not what they ought to be—l felt my want of equip ment, but they were applauded by every one except a fine old professor from a neighboring college, who caught my eye when I know it must have expressed the weariness 1 felt at the praise I was receiving —which I knew I did not Odeserve. He walked home with me and asked me 'how I liked it,' meaning the crowd, the applause and the seeming success. I told him 'it made me sick.' He said 'then there was hope for me.' He told me I was not tit for the place 1 was occupying, and that only the ignorance and want of knowledge on the part of the general public made them accept incompetency. He said I HAD GOOD IDEAS, plenty of energy and ability—what I lacked was thorough training. I determined to try for it. I could not stay this year, be cause my engagement is imperative till next spring, but I have obtained an insight into the German language and system. I have got their charts and 1 am going to study them. Next season I shall come back and stay a year, perhaps two, go to the schools and perfect myself. I am going to be a teacher for life, and I am bound to be a good one." This confidence was not bestowed upon me that first Sunday; on the contrary, we spent it hunting up stray steamer chairs, looking askance at each other, glancing oc casionally at the low-lying coast and watch ing the bells for the dinner hour. The cooking we had discovered to be excellent and the service most satisfactory. The staterooms, too. were clean and neat-look ing, and there was an entire absence of the "bilge"' smell, which is so provocative of seasickness. The prospects; therefore, were most encouraging, and it was not un til the close of the Sunday dinner, whose only fault was its length, that symptoms of a decidedly adverse character began to set in. "Take my advice and go straight to your room and to bed," said the good-na tured stewardess to the suddenly bleached out women, who were hanging on here and there to the railing above and below. Seven days and nights of lowering skies. HEAVY SEAS, HEAD AVIXDS and turbulent waves, which were no re specters of decks or persons. A few en joyed it and ate and drank as usual, but the majority did not, and for some the week until the following Monday held misery that is never, and is much better never, put into words. The final days were, however, delightful, the weatner was perfect, the skies without a cloud, and the excellence of the cuisine, which never lowered its standard in the least from the first day to the last, was fully appreciated. We were even sorry to part with the friends we had made, we forgave the captain the weather (the captain is always charged with the Mo? ELECT "weather"), and exchanged addresses with people after the manner of ocean travelers, whom we shall probably never see or hear of again. I think we were an "honest lot" on board that ship, and excepting the bride had little in the way of "toggery." We had no troubles with the customs therefore on landing, and shook hands and said our good-byes in the best possible spirits, al most willing, under the same auspices and with more favoring winds, to turn round and take the return voyage to Antwerp. To the reader also, if there is one who has been with me on this little trip, I must now say good-bye. lam sorry it was not a better trip and better recorded, but on a short trip one must take what comes and do the best with it one can. It is one of the certainties that if one thing does not come another does, and when experiences are equally new the difference is of little conse quence. . Jennie June. SOME HOTEL FIXES. Stories Related by Commercial Travelers of Their Experiences with Tav ern Conflagrations. One was Awakened Out cf a Dream of Drowning by the Stream from a Hose Neglect to Don Necessary Garments Before Escaping Attended with Sad liesults. How Cool-Headed Men Lose All Presence of Mind In a Burn • Ing Building. A jolly group of traveling men sat down in the rotunda of the Merchants a few nights ago, swapping lies and cracking "chest nuts," when a Globe reporter floated in and casually dropped into a seat in the vicinity of the party. The tide, of conver sation soon turned on the sub ject of fires, and some "cry interesting stories followed. It is probable that there is no class of men which is so familiar with hotel tires as the commercial traveler, as he is constantly shifting to different par^s of the country, and his home is under the roof of the hostelry nearly three hundred and fifty days in the year. WHAT OWE SAID. "I happened to be at the Sherman house, Fargo, when it burned last month," re marked a returned florid-faced fellow, "and I had a pretty close call for cremation. I had gone to bed early and was putting in some good, hard sleop. I remember that I was dreaming of being out in a yacht and a squall coining up. The boat had cap sized, dumpine me into the water. I thought I was rustling around to keep afloat, when a big wave rolled over me and I went under. Just then I woke up and found myself clutching the bedpost, while a stream of water was shoot ing through my window and everything in the room was afloat. Of course I was rat tled, and, smelling fire, I jumped into my pants, threw on my coat, and had just climbed out of the window to a ladder, when the flames burst through the door and filled the room with smoke. I got down into the crowd all right, and on the opposite side of the street I found a couple of lady acquaintances who had come down to see the tire. I was soon talking to them, and was not a little broke up when I noticed that they kept giggling and covering their mouths with their handkerchiefs, as if they were choking down their fun. 1 d dn't see anything to laugh at, but kept my eye peeled, determined to find out what was up. Pretty soon I saw one of them look down in the direc tion of the bottom of my vest and immedi ately she began to eat her handkerchief. I looked down, and I'm a snort if I hadn't put my pants on hind side afore, which of course gave an unusual and ridiculous promi nence to my front perspective. I made a sneak on the spur of the moment and have not shown up in the neighborhood of those women since." ANOTHER EXPEDIENCE. After indulging in a little pleasantry over their friend's liard luck, the boys lit a fresh cigar all round and settled themselves down for the next man's experience. He was a serious-looking individual, but wore an ex pression about his face which indicated that he had had experience with fire. Throwing one leg over the other and leaning back in his chair till he had fixed his eyes on the ceiling he said: "Gentlemen, I've seen a good many fires in my day, and I believe a man will make a bigger darned fool' of himself when he wakes up and finds fire trying to occupy the same room with him than on any other occasion in the world, excepting when he gets married. I'm pretty cool-headed on ordinary occasions, but when I smelt smoke coining through my transom about 12 o'clock midnight, I got as foolish as a lost dog. When I was on my wedding tour several years ago I stopped at the pretty little hamlet of Hamburgh, about twelve miles up the Connecticut river from its mouth. It was quite a popular summer resort and I took my wife there to spend a few quiet days. The town and hotel were crowded, and we could only get accommodations at an old-fash ioned two-story house.whose style of archi tecture indicated that it was formerly oc cupied as a country tavern when villages were few and far between. The room as signed to us was a front one on the second floor. We had spent two uneventful days there and had started in on the wind-up of the third by retiring almost before the chickens had gone to roost. About 1 o'clock the next morning my wife awoke me with a scream, and I SAW FLAMES bursting through the thin partition that separated our room from the adjoining apartment. The room was full of smoke, and springing out of bed I threw up the window. There was an excited crowd out side, and when they saw the window go up they put up a plank and yelled for us to slide down. My wife was up and trying to find her clothes. She was terribly ex cited, and knowing there was no time to lose, I pulled on my hat and coat, and grabbing the woman I put her on the plank and told her to slide. She made the trip in good shape and was safely caught at the bottom. I then mounted the plank and went down much after the fashion of an amateur on roller skates. Jerusalem! it makes me shiver every time I think of that slide. "That wasn't much of a slide if the plank was wide," remarked a man with his mouth full of toothpicks. '"I don't see any tiling to shiver about." '•You don't?" replied the man who had slid; '•well, I reckon if you had caught as many slivers in the same amount of space that 1 did, you'd shivered. Darned if I didn't think somebody'd put up a scheme to start a pine forest on me ." "Didn't your pants protect you?" "Pants!" he ejaculated, "pants! my wife had them on and she got through all right. You see in her excitement she had put part of my clothes on. and in rustling around to get out I hadn't noticed how poorly I was protected. When my wife knew I was out all right and saw the style of clothes she was prancing around in, the shock was too great for her and she fainted right there, so you see she lost her dress, but I saved my pants. It was about two weeks before the doctor got through picking kindling wood out of me, and had fixed me up so that I could sit down on a common cushion and feel comfortable. That was the narrowest call I ever had, considering all circumstances." "THREE YEARS AGO," said a Chicago drummer for a soap house, "I was stopping at the Grand Pacific. Moorhead, when the Key City block burnt just across the street. In the room next to me slept a doctor who was practic ine there. I had thrown the look ing glass out of the window and had just reached the foot of the fire escape with my boots in my hand when I heard a yell, and looking up saw the doctor stand ing on the window sill about two feet away from the escape. He had nothing on but his night-shirt, and under one arm he had an umbrella and unuer the other a water pitcher. Before I had time to tell him to get onto the ladder, he jumped and came down like a shot. As luck would have it, he fell into the middle of a big snow drift and didn't get a bruise. It cost him a good many dollars to square the matter with the boys over the bar, and he goes by the name of Umbrella Jim to this day." The conversation at this point took an other turn, and the Globe representative started for the office to place what lie had heard on record. rt II quickly spring from cent.3 Planted in advertisement!
