HUMBLE PIE AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE.—

nuts have disagreed with you, and Doctor Belgium says you
did wrong, and that a little humble pie will do you good ;
so eat it like a man."—Punch.
HOTEL SCENE IN NEW YORK.—The colonel came
in with his regimental paymaster, and called out to
the clerk, "Here, you Sir I" "I am here," civilly re-
sponded the clerk. " Just hand ever de money dat belongs
to our regiment in your safe; we are off to Washington dis
afternoon." " There is your bill, colonel," said the clerk,
putting before him an official-looking piece of paper. " Tam
de pill; tam all pills," said the officer, not even deigning
to I.ok at the amount. He and his staff had held high
carnival with their friends for several days at his hotel ;
the bill for dinners, champagne, &c., amounted to some
£3OO. Yost must pay this, colonel, or allow me to take the
amount from the regimental funds, or I cannot re-
turn your money.' I decline to. report the reply of the
colonel. Being interpreted, it was an assurance to the clerk
that he would not " bay de pill ;" that he would sea the
clerk in the centre of the most tropical region of the next
world before he would bay de pill ; that the Government
might bay depill, or go to the same no latitude. The clerk
remained firm under this torrent of German-American-
English. The colonel, in his rage, sent the paymaster for
the sentries at the door, and ordered them to charge upon
the clerk, and compel him to deliver the funds. The clerk
took a revolver from the desk before him. " There are four
of you," he said; "there are six bullets here. 'Who wants
the first one ?" He fixed his eye on the colonel, and it
looked as though it would bore a hole through him, without
the bullet. " Petter bay do pill," whispered the paymaster
to the colonel. The bully in the colonel was cowed, and
the paymaster saw that he might act. "I am de one to
bay pills," said he. An amicable surrender of the funds,
minus the amount of the bill, was soon effected, the clerk
keeping his revolver in convenient proximity during
the transaction. The colonel and his men withdrew, and
the clerk called out cheerfully, " Here's the key, Grierson.

anyhow, for the way you managed to get that bill paid."
" Not colonel of a regiment of German blackguards, I
hope," said the clerk, turning to some new corners, as if
