NATIONAL COMPLAINTS.

The Englishmen at Paris find fault with the _French roast beef_; the

Frenchmen in London complain of the _British brandy_.

in the _cavalry_, as they are so expert in _making a charge_.

A foreigner inquiring the way to a friend's lodging, whom he said lived

at _Mr. Bailey's, senior_, was shown to the _Old Bailey_, by a

Bow-street officer. When he entered the court he imagined that it was

his friend's levee.
