Sinco Rev. J. R. Winchester's return
from hia European trip his intimate
friends have been very much entertained
by his accounts of his experiences in that
interesting country.
A reporter of tho Telegraph, believ
ing that a much larger circle of people
would bo interested in what ho saw
a roes tho ocean, called upon Mr. Win
chester and spent a very pleasant hour
in his home on Walnut street on feature
day. An abbreviated account is here
given of his travels in the principal Eu
ropean countries, but the conversational
charm with which they were narrated
to the reporter, of course, could not be

Her. Mr. Winchester and his friend.
Rev. If. C. Martin, left America on the
25 th of July for Queenstown, where they
arrived about a week later. From now
on his story can best be told in his own
words:
F1BHT TO CORK.
"Front Queenstown we went to Cork,
in the mjuiU of Ireland. The scenery was
very pretty, nnd was all of historic in
terest, but the condition of the people de
tracted considerably from the pleasure
of tho visit. Beggars in great numbers
followed our stage, an I their cries for
C nnies met us at evrny turn. The Sab-
tii seemed to be but poorly observe!,
and I saw many men, aud even women,
entering tho open saloons on the Lord s
day. Tasked an editor of a Cork puper
why there was so much poverty in such
an apparently fertile district. He replied
that it was lecauae the owners of the
vast landed estates exacted heavy reuts
from their tenants, and carried tho
money thus obtained over to England, in
Jhat way taking it out of circulation in
Hreland.
"It wat a relief to get into the northern
portion of tlie "Emerald Isle.” Hero the
people were more prosperous quiet and
cheerful, and we were annoyed by very
few beggars. At Dubliu the Uiange be
gan, and at Beltaat, near tho northern
extremity of the island, the signs or
i*ro*purity were abundant everywhere.
Two reasons were given for this contrast
between the two sections, the first being
that the great manufacturing interests
of Dublin and Bchast and oti.er cities in
North Ireland gave the advantage.
Another reason assigned was the in
fluence of a liberal mixing of Scotch
blood, which generally cun its with it a
decided solidity and enterprise in bu»i
ness circlet*.
The Giant's Causeway, at the ex
treme north end of Ireland. U no doubt

HOLLAND SH OW THE SKA.
"Leaving Scotland we crossed over to
Holland, the kiugdoni that lies below the
level of the sea. 'ihe dykes which bold
ths waters of the North sea back from
overwhelming tho country are monu
ments of human patience and skill. No
wonder the Dutch nation lias so succe. s
fully resisted ths ambitious dutch of
other monarchies. Ths cities .of Rotter
dam, Amsterdam and Antwerp are grand
and imposing. The walls of thr ir picture
galleries ore hung with thomands of
splendid paintings by their own country
men, such a* Vandyck, Rembrandt and
Quentin Matsys, 1 liked Holland very
much indeed.
"After leaving Holland ws traversed
Belgium and went into Germany as far
as Cologne, where wo saw ono of the
finest cathedrals in the w rid. From
there we went over to *»8unny Fiance,"
Of course Parts was the main attrac
tion. Babylon of old, in all its splen
dor, could not Iiave been mure brilliant
than Paris is to-day. Although hardly
half os populous os London, it Is much
more gay than tho great metropolis. But
below tbs mirth aud gakty of these
throngs of French people con be detected
to-day the same spirit that precipitated
the revolution aud tlie commune. It
is there still ready to break out, like the
fire in tow, at the proper time. Iho
Boulanger episode marked a critical
period in French history* But for
tunately ths minds of tho people were
attracted by the great expoution and it
is very probable that, bad they not been
absorbed in this stupendous undertak
ing, tbe terrors of the commune would
have been repeated.
"And yet with all their volatile and
fiery nature the French find time and
opportunity to achieve some of tho
grandest mathematical, mechanical and
architectural wot ks the world ever saw.
We tried to ascend tlie Eiffel tower, but
th* re were too many ahead of us, and

"Leaving France, ufU r a stay of about
a week, we landed at Dover, in England,
and near that town 1 visited the church
of St. Martin’s, which is tho oldest eccle
siastical structure in Gr«at Britain. It
was built in tbe second century, and is
consequently nearly 1,700 years old. In
tbe outer wall w ere tbe "peep holes” pro-
pared for the lepers, who were allowed
to stand outside and listen to the sermons
within. Hero we saw a stone coffin said
to contain the remains of King Elbel-
bert, or.c of tho lint monarehs of the
Saxon heptarchy.
"In London we stayed nearly three

representative*of tin-c'.r.ir b<u

good citizens was invited, to u
>ou for a better enforcemi nt of
against gambling places audoth
evils.
The non-enforcement of tho laws en
acted in the interest of public morals h is
been treated ns an acknowledged fact in
tho public press, and the existent e of a
general disregard of tht*»c laws lias bet n
eiupJiasizjd from time to time bv par
ticular cases. Tho tragedy of Bonne-
fel*l*s death shed on iliumiuation on tb »
general condition like n flash of light
ning on a dork night. If tho fa ts are
rot as tlioy are alleged it is in mceivable
that no ono hut U:« n found with sufli-
cient temerity to deny them.
Tho member* of tho various religious
societies of tho city feel that they ar.-
warranted in haring aprofonnd c net rn
nnd alarm at this dituaiion. These evil
places, setting their snares for tho young
nnd unwary, ore continually undoing
and bring to imught the work th.it our
organ s it ions do in behalf of morality
and religion. In their capacity n* citi
zens only, the adherents of the churches
liave deep cau-o for regret at tho exist
ing state of things; Is cause it involves
tlie good name of the community nnd
injures in mauy ways its business
interests.
At the meeting referred to the* ques
