34. "No more interlect than a half-grown shad," is a phrase which occurs, if the author remembers aright, in the Charcoal Sketches, by J. C. Neal. The Western people have carried this idea a step further, and applied it to sardines, as "small fishes," all of an average size, packed closely together in tin cans and excluded from the light of day. A man who has never travelled, and has during all his life been packed tightly among those who were his equals in ignorance and inexperience, is therefore a "sardine." 35. The incident narrated in this part, is told in Pennsylvania as having occurred to a well-known politician, who bore the sobriquet of "With all due deference," from his habit of beginning all his speeches with these words. 36. "Dese outpressions ish not to pe angeseen py anypodies ash schvearin, boot ash inderesdin Norse or Sherman idioms. Goot many refiewers vot refiewsed to admire soosh derms in de earlier editions ish politelich requestet to braise dem in future nodices from a transcendental philological standpoint." - FRITZ SCHWACKENHAMMER 37. Requisish. An abbreviation of the word requisition, which Breitmann had heard during the War of Emancipation. I once heard this cant term used in a droll manner, about the end of the war, by a little girl, six years old, the daughter of a quarter-master. She had "confiscated," or "foraged," or "skirmished," as it was indifferently called, a toy whip belonging to her little brother of four years, who was clamorously demanding its return. "I cannot let you have the whip," said she gravely, "as I need it for military purposes; but I can give you a requisish for it on my papa, who will give you an order on the United States Government." - C. G. L. 38. Bismarck. 39. Disraeli. 40. Uhu. An owl - the bird of kn-owl-edge. 41. Allons. Uhlan slang for go or went, as in America, they use the Spanish word vamos to express every person in every sense of the verb to go. Pronounced allon'd. 42. "O no, those are no angels Which sail so smoothly on, O no - they're cursed Frenchmen, All in an air-balloon." 43. "And when she came adown Unto the earth's firm surface, She was Mrs. Robinson." 44. Those are thrashed Frenchmen. 45. "Der Uhlan was not shenerally wear pickelhaube, but dis tay der Herr Breitmann gehappenet to hafe von on." - FRITZ SCHWACKENHAMMER 46. "And art thou truly living?" 47. "All my property." 48. "O maiden fair in Heaven!" 49. Nancy, the "light of love" of Lorraine. - London Times, Dec. 6, 1870. 50. "I require you to surrender: I have thirty thousand men Not far from here, parbleu! But give me first champagne: I've a wondrous thirst, you know- About a dozen cart-loads; And then I'll let you go." 51. "O Lord, Lord, Lord! We are ruined!" 52. "We will take the ready gelt."
