a man is two short months transported from the indescribably desolate, almost inaccessible natural fortresses of the Bad Lands (Mauvaise Terre) of Dakota to the ancient city of Antwerp, gazing spellbound on the artisitic reproduction, by the renowned artist, of the red man's late dream, "The Messiah." Respect for his thoughts and the natural stoical nature of the Indian leaves to feature opportunity an interesting interrogative of what passed through the mind of the subtle chief. Suffice to say that surprise at the white man's many-sided character, and the greatness of his resources in teh past and present, was beginning to dawn more and more on the new tourists. Arriving the next day at Strasburg - introduction to the cow-boys, the camp life, the Cathedrial, the great clock, the fortification, etc., was followed by the delight of each brave on receiving his pony; and once more with his trusy friend, the horse, the Ogallalla and Brule in a few days felt as though "Richard was himself again."

Joing more heartily than was expected in the mimic scenes of the "Wild West," soon the ordinary routine of daily duties seemed a pleasant diversion. A grand reception in Strasburg, the tour resumed to Carisruhe, Mannheim - including a visit to Heidelberg Castle - Mayence, Wiesbaden, to Cologne (the Rhine legends of Lurline, etc., giving interest to the Peau Rogue en route), Dortmund, Duisburg, Credfeld and Aix-la-Chapelle terminated a tour of Germany filled with the most pleasant recollections. The tomb of Charlemagne ! (Carole Magno). The history of this great warriors as interpreted to attentive ears, a lesson being instilled by the relation that after all his glory, his battle, triumphs, and conquests in which he defeated the dusky African prototypes of the present visitors to his tomb, peace brough him to pursue knowledge, to cultivate the arts and sciences, and that after two hundred years of entombment his body was found by Otto, the Saxon, sitting erect upon a granite throne, the iron crown upon his heard, imperial sceptre in right hand, while his left rested on an open volume of Holy Scriptures, the index finger pointed to the well-known passage, "What will it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Here, by the grave of the founder of Christianity stood the latest novitates to its efforts, who may yet, in following its teachings, it is hoped, make such progress through its aid and education as to furnish one of their race capable of holding the exalted chieftainship - the Presidency of their native land - the Empire of the West. Who can say - why not?

Belgium - Brussels, its Paris, brings vividly to mind, in its semblance of language, people, habits, beauty, wealth, culture and appreciation, remembrances of our delightful sojourn in the calitol at the how-truly-named La Belle France. Visit Waterloo. From Pine Ridge to historic Waterloo! Our immense success, courteious treatment, the repeated visits and kindly interest of that most amiable lady, the Queen, an enthusiastic horsewoman, her pleasant reference to London in teh Jubilee year, combined to increase the gratitude the Wild West voyagers feel for the treatment everywhere received in Europe since, in 1887, we invaded "Old England," and pitched our tents in the World's Metropolis - London. So, after a short season in Antwerp, out motley cargo set sail across teh North Sea to make complete our farewll visit to our cousins of the isle, revel in a common language (bringing a new pleasure to the ear), hoping to receive a continuance of that amicable appreciation of our humble efforts that the past a provincial tour of Great Britian. The reception everywhere accorded us was so hearty in its nature that a sentiment of relationship insensibly remeated the Yankee exiles. From Leeds we went to Liverpool, the great shipping port, thence to Manchester where old friendships were renewed and new ones formed - a noteable event being a benefit to ninetween of the Balaclava survivors (who were indigent), resulting in great success, not only financially, but from an historic point, because of the participation in our per ormance of three generations, the past, present and future English soldier - in the battle scarred veterans ; the Prince of Wales' Own (Lancers) and the boy cadets of the city. Sheffield with its busy factories was next visited, and the Indian found a new cause for amazement in the world's cutlery city. Stoke-on-Trent, with its marvelous Wedgewoodware works and other innumerable pottery industries gave another lesson in Caucasian progress and opened to the red man new wonders in the art of table decoration. Nottingham with its busy lace looms; Leicester of historic interest, and Birmingham with its mammoth iron platns, in order challenged the admiration and assisted to educate the son of the forest.

Cardiff (Wales), in energy and "git up" wuite an American city, having increased in population and wealth 55 per cent, in nine years, remains on our ledger as a banner six days' stand, the receipts exceeing $10,000 ($50,000), the R.
