Jonathan Abroad

Amnricans who go abroad in thene lays button their pockete and stop their eara and Riive their spare cash, as they never thought of doing in the old days. There is nothing a Yankee learns 80 qiiick as the art of bargaining, and baving tnlu-ii the hint from their English eousins who made a sixpence do the duty of a dollar, they now riele in secondcl:u?8 cars, browbeat landlords, turn a deaf car to the guides and beggars, and pay nnthiiip; to nobody, taking a receipt for thoir mouey. And tliis is the reason American travelers are not as popular as they used to be. Even the dealers in pictures, vcrfu, and newly manufactured antiquities complain of Yankee sharpness. ïhe result is that Jonathan sees Europe and eats and drinks and enjoys himself at about half what it coat ten years ago. There is nothing like weering a brasa doorplateas ouegoes through the world.
