Tlio passage scrnsi the channel from England to the continent, has always been regarded with hnrrnr by travelers and reputation for prndnrlng misery is doubtless fairly earned.

The trip u the tower, (320 feet tu tho t.ip.) is n very satisfactory one, nl only on account of Ihn extensive view obtained, hut also on nc count ol tho careful explanation given by the cnstndiun of tlio working of the ringing machinery and clack. Bruges was at one lime an important commercial centre; hut nothing except relica ol its ancient splendor iimr remain. The road trom Bruges to Brussels (65 miles) Is through a flat and uninteresting country, hut the sail is evidently good and under a high state of cultivation; the growing craps which consist largely of l,ar ley, wheat, potatoes, etc., looking fine. Although tho capital of Belgium Brussels is to iill nppearancs a French city und in fact it is Irerpu-nlly rimken of us a minla lure Taris, Its public buildings aro rich and tasty, its business bluetts and privu'.o rcsi leuces elegant ami substantial and the nure air and general nealness of the aur roondings form h viry agreeable change tu rnioke of London. The Hotel de Viller near the center of the city, is regarded as architecturally one of the finest structures in Europe, lis tower rices to a hlght ol 370 leet and its graceful pinnacles and the general deigu of the building aro very pleasing. Twelve miles south of Brussels ia the field of Waterloo; where, sixty-nine years ago, one nt the few decisive battlos In the world's history was fought. The "Lion Mound," which marks tbe location of the English centre,, is about a mitit distant from the railway station of Bralne 1' Alleud slid from its summit an excellent yiew oftha fceneof the haltlo is obtained. Standing there ami looking out oyer those fertile farms with their growing crops and green fields, It is difficult to realize t lie scenes of carnage ol which this was once the arena Fur away to the south the French army was marshalled; along this ridge the Eng lish recehed those desperate charges which would have overwhelmed less determined troops. By lliat pats from tho eattcaino Ulucher with his Prussians, just in iImio t save tho day. But tho history of tho battle Is to well known to need repetition hire Grouchy Id i led to appear and Ilajmleon died a prisoner at St. Helena. In spile, however, of Water! n and St. Helena, In spite of i ho "Holy (?) Alliance" and the Divine Bight of Kings," Franco to-duy enjoys that for which Naioleon fought the right of Ilia pconle to rimer their own rulers. Who will say that the world does nut moye? Antwerp is only twenty eeyen miles from Brusai-ls, an I yet luitli thriving cities. Il is as thoroughly Dutch as Brussels is French, mid Ihe contrast between the I wo I very groat. In the ICIh cenluiy Antwrrp was Ihn leading rummcreial i lly of Eumiie; but in the wars with Spain it w.is crushed and has never regained its former supreni aey. lis niiaiiit, antiquated houses and its narrow crooked streets, with the many other peculiarities of this old ricmish city make it a plaro of more thau oriliimry li terett to the tourist. Antwerp was the home ol Van Dyck and the center of the Flemish School id Art In Ihe cathedral, u massive structure which dates bick to the Nth cenlury, Is Rubens' tar tamed master piece, "Tho Descent trom the Cioss," as well ss several other works ol less nolo by Ihe same artist.

A chime of 82 bells III the tower furnishes at times the most delightful melody and at others gives forth the most doleful' and solemn sounds. The Scheldt, which flows past the city, is a slujglsh stream, hut lurmshes excellen lai-ilities tor commerce, snd durlu the palmy days of Antwerp often fl la'.ed oyer 3,000 ships atone time. At present this fxirt is yisited by about 0,000 vessels en uiMlly, Aix la Chspelle, or 'Aschtn," as it I called by the Germans, is a rilr of shout 73,000 Hpulation and is noted for Its as socislmns Willi the Emiiernr Charlemagne, it being Ihe place of his birth, cornuuli.in, favorle residrnce and burial. For seven centuries alter Charlemagne the 0rman emperors were crowned here. Tba Cathe dral was fiHimK iu 7tM, by the great em eror and was consecratej by I'ojie L-o HI assisted by 33 bishops. Among the stlrac twin ol the pLie fjrtrui fatthfal, are Ibe relics, which are preserved wl,h greslcate In tbe tretsoty. Thr consist of the swsd- lllng clothes, a scarf worn by Christ at the crucifixion, a robe worn by the Virgin st the nativity, a leathern girdle of Christ's, a girnle of the Virgin, a piece of the true cross and many fragmenls of the bones ol vatioua saints. Directly beneath the confer ofthe dome is tho tomb of th mighty Charlemagne. It ise.ivsred withe mas'lvo slab, bearing the Inscription "Csrolo Msg no." About a mil from the city Is Frank enbnrg, a favorite hunting seat of Charlo- magne and with a tower of hie time still etanding. It was here hie queen, Fastrads, died; but "The lakes that water that deliri ous land," have been partially filled up and nnly a trace of its former beauty remains, From Alx.la-Chspelle to Cologne, a ride of about two hours, we first see the distinct ive .festnrss of German farm life. Small village ere (crated nnly a few miles apart, snd the ii'.hsbltsnts.wnraen ss well semen, gi nut each morning to work in the fields It was no uncommon thing to see one or twn men with halt a dozen women, plant' Ing or hoeing together In a fioM; and so far as we could judge the women did ss much work as the men. This la but one result of the great military systems which are main tnlned by the European nations, drawing from the useful occupations nt life hundreds of the best Isborers of lbs land, snd not on'y compelling their families to subsist without their aid but also by their taxes to support them In enforced idleness. Who hss not heard ofthe Cologne Cathe drol. whose foundations wero laid 000 yean ago and upon which, although tt was nom Inaly completed in 1SS0, workmen are stilt engaged? Thla magnificent Gothic atrun lure, with its Inrests ol thousands of spires and pinnacles and Its ormy of figures snd linages is ono of the finest ecclesiastical edifices In Europe and is prnnminccd by many the finest in the world. Its length Is 450 leet and its width at the transept 200 feet. From the pavement to the lop of the naye Is 150 feet and the south lower Is 611 feet high, the loftiest work of man. Uullke most cathedrals, it has no central choir screen, thus giving an unbroken nnd most tmpreesiva view throughout its entire length. The stained glass windows are especially fine and represent various ecrlp tural scenes. The chapel of tho Three Kings contains a gorgeous elirlno which encloses the bones of the Magi which wero taker, to Constantinople in the 5tli century, afterwards brought to Milan and from thence transferred by Frederick Birbarossa to Cologne Many other costly relic" are kept for exhibition in tho treasury. The church of St. Ursula, not far from tho Cathe .dral, is rep ited to contain the bones of eleven tin usand virgins, who, with St. Ursula, were slaughtered by the Huns In I ii e lil'lh cenlury, when returning from pilgrimage to itotne, Ihe bones make most ghastly exhibit, being distributed about the church in cases built into the walls and used for decorative purposes uerally. They may do very well relica, bill, according to Professor Owen, many ol them aro from the lower order ol anilnals. The praises of the Rhine have been so often eung and in eo muny different keys, that to pass an entirely original opinion upon it Is almost an imssibily. The tourist who takes tlio stesmer at Cologne for the trip, will be ery opt to experience feeling of disappointment, as from that place to Cnblentz, almost the only point of ioterest (except Bonn, with Its University) is Drachenfels' or Dragon's Ruck, which. with Us ruineil raslla rises on the east hank, about 000 feet above ihe river. Here, in a cava which rao still be seen according to the legend, onco dwelt a terrible ilrin whose constitution r-- - "' bcuuli ul christian maidens. Cut ono day a dam sel was thrown to the monster as lie sprung with open mouth to receive her; and he was so thoroughly disgusted that according to one version ha forthwith drowned him sell in Hie Rhine; while others say he wa: slam by the maiden's lover who afterwards built Ihe rustle. This is a fair specimen n: the legends which are connected with almost cycry castlo on the Rhine; but u scarcely any two versions of tlio fame legand can be found which agree, ou readers can just as well manufacture thei own legends and sparo us tho trouble of reH-ati.-ig them. Alasl however, for Ih tragons, alasl for the legends. Tno wlilftl of the locomotive is heard In the Oiebenge birga and a railway ruus to the yery top, where 'The castle crag of Drachenfels frowns o'er the wide and wmdhg Rhine." Cobleiitz, one of ihe most important cities on the Rhine, Is situated at the mnu'h ol tbe Moselle aud has a population of about 30,000. II is, however, as a military posi tion thnt Coblaulz is important. On the opposite side of Ihe river rises the mighty fortress Ehrenbrellctcin, tho "Gibraltar of the Rhine." It is practically impregnable und has accommnilatioiis for 40.000 men, The garrison Bt tho present time consists of only 2,000. From its walls a fUe view of the Rhine and Moselle valleys ran be ob tained. From Cnblentz to Bingen, a dis tance of about forty miles, includes the im st interesting ortion ofthe Rhine. We pass Slolzeulels, Marksburg Ihe only Rhine castle never destroyed Bippird, Sternenhur? and Liobensteln or the Broth ers, Thurnburg, and reach St, Guar on the wrat bunk with the Reinlels, tins largest und most iiiaising ruin on the riverain the rocks about 400 feel above the village Jmt beyond and ou the opposite side of the stream are the rocke of the Lorelei, where in ancient times according to Ibo legend, dwelt a lovely maiden whose wondrous beauty lured (uianing sailors to destruction it a whirl(ool at the base of the mountain. The nwks in tbe r'verbavo been removed, the mountain pierced by n railway lunn-d and the maiden nt pieseut nnaej mi mnre trouble than Is In be expected of the fair daughters of Mother Eve. From this point to Bingen is by far the finest scenery it this famous river. Tho mountains on either side riae abruptly several hundred feel above the water and the winding course of the stream presents a new yiew et every turn. A halfdozen or more ruineil catties sro Iu eight all tho time, rising from crags and peaks of the rocks, or, like Tfalz, built on an island in the middle of the river for the purpose of emoting tribute from passing vessels. Just before reaching Bingen wo pass the "Mouse Tower," also ou an Islam!, rendered famous by the story of JJishop Unttn snd the rate. At Biugen, "Fair Biiigxn on Ihe Rhine," the hills recede rapidly from the batiks of the stream, the bed ol the rirer widens and lertlla (lol ls i n either shore take Ihe place of the rugged scenery IhrnCgh which we have Just passed end from that mlpt to Mavence, our slop- pin place, there is but little of interest. The Rhine is frequently compare.1 U, Ihe liuitson, sn-i o.cu possesses some p.inle or superlnrity over the other. The European river ia not more than one half or two thirds as largo as the pride of the Empire Stele, aud consequently has cot that grand a.,d Hwerful twrep as it rolls nceanwsrd; but He course Is much more crractlc, thus giving a greater variety ef views with aa equal smouot of material. The CatskilU which form lh background lo s large , share of tbe Hudson river scenery, are . much mors lofty than any ofthe mountslns I near thla portion of the Rhine, but the terraced and vine oivereil hills which rise along the banks ofthe latter stream, gtye a phase of beauty whioh la unknown ou tho former) while tho hundreds ol ruinod cas ties, with their wealth of historlo interest and tno romance ol twenty cerHurtes, give to a trip up the Rhine a peculiar charm end place it among tbe mostenjoyable'tnimorles of travel.
