The Cambridge Augustan Johnnies (Dr. SANDYS at least, being a Johnian, may excuse the term) set great store upon the fact that all over the Continent the language is pronounced in the foreign manner. Why, Sir, it is well known that the Norse tongue in Iceland, being icerlated, has remained nearly unchanged since its introduction in the ninth century. And England is an island; therefore the Latin tongue, introduced by the Roman colonists, must have remained unchanged also. For my own part, I own I have no patience with this degradation of the hallowed traditions of our school-days to the level of languages which can be got up in _Ollendorff_ and fluently pattered by couriers and waiters. "Wenny, weedy, weaky." Good gracious! Is that the language of a conquering, masterful race? The matter does not admit of serious argument. Yours, wondering what next, ONE OF THE OLD SCHOOL. * * * * * THE LAST OF THE GO-HE-CANS.--The _Times_ for November 1, in giving a list of the Masters of Foxhounds, mentioned the Rev. E. M. REYNOLDS as "the only clergyman who can append M.F.H. to his name." Of course this does not mean that no other clergyman "can" do so, or the Clergy would indeed be an uneducated set, but that the Rev. E. M. REYNOLDS is the only successor of the Rev. JACK RUSSELL who has the right to append M.F.H. to his name. How often does his pack meet? Is it _Reynolds's Weekly_? If the hounds are a trifle mixed, it may be known as _Reynolds's Miscellany_. * * * Captain STOKES, who peremptorily ordered Mr. O'BRIEN off to prison, seems to be the sort of a man that CHARLES DICKENS described as a "Harbitrary Gent." Quite a despotic Turk. As the Nationalists call the Castle Officials "Bashi-Bazouks," let them allude to the gallant Captain and Magistrate as "STOKES BEY." * * * * * [Illustration: International Punch.] INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.--Should difficulties ever arrive at this peaceable solution--(so likely!--ahem!--but always a Bright Dream)--then there could not be a name of better omen for a representative of British Interests than "LYON PLAYFAIR." * * * Trafalgar Square may be "the finest site in the world," but the Mob in it isn't. * * * * * A ROW IN THE GALLERY.
