The international susceptibilities of Sheriff DRURIOLANUS--henceforth to bear the Anglo-French title, _Monsieur le Shérif 'Arris de Paris_, or _'Arry de Parry_,--appear to have been considerably hurt by a statement in the _Débats_ to the effect that the appearance in the London streets of men dressed as Gendarmes--"_en gendarmes français_," writes MOSSOO DRURIOLANE--intended as perambulating advertisements for the Waterloo Panorama, was due to a supreme effort of his managerial genius. So Shérif DRURIOLANE wrote at once to the London Correspondent of the _Figaro_, who bears the singularly French name of JOHNSON, denying, in his very best French, that he, M. le Shérif, had had anything to do with these walking advertisements, or, indeed, with the Panorama Company at all, from which he had retired a year ago. Then he adds, like the _preux chevalier_ he is known to be, that had he still been on the direction of the aforesaid _Compagnie_, he, at all events, would never, never have committed the enormity of even suggesting, however vaguely, an idea so calculated to needlessly insult "_les susceptibilités françaises_." ("_Hear! hear!_" and "_Très bien!_" from the left.) Then M. le Shérif DRURIOLANE, rising to the occasion, finishes with this magnificent flourish on the French horn--"_Je suit né en France_"--(Isn't it very much "to his credit," we ask with W.S.G., that, "In spite of all temptations, To belong to other nations, He remains an Englishman?" Why, certainly)--"_j'ai vécu parmi les Français, et je suis à moitié enfant de Paris_." Beautiful! _Magnifique!_ Our DRURIOLANUS is surpassing even the G.O.M., who has been born, more or less, everywhere, except in Paris. Should the Republic be in danger, or should Monarchists or Imperialists get a chance and want a man for the place, let them wire to DRURIOLANUS, "_à moitié enfant de Paris_" and the "_Enfant_"--"_Enfant_ ARRIS," not "_Enfant_ GATTI"--will be ready, aye ready, to assume the purple, and to bring all his properties with him. "_À moitié_"--and the other half? That will ever remain British. So _à la santé de Monsieur le Shérif-enfant-de-Londres-et-Paris_, in a pint of Half-and-half, and let it, like Le Shérif himself, have a good head on! * * * * * THE ROLLING OF THE R'S.
