A general officer in the American war Va,
one evening at the cocoa-tree describing to II.
company the phenomenon of certain hot and

quite close 10 each other, during his Campaign

BY AN oCToGENARIAN.
George SsiWyn.-For several years MIR Sell
wyn was reckoned to be the Prince Of Wits, not
only at Brookes's, but in private society: and
many persons still remember, tina, in the gene
rali;y Of his repartees there was sting Of attic
poignancy, which rendered him in peculiar
manner the scourge Of folly and self.pretension.
This will be fully exempihed in the following
anecdotes: -
Sir Robert Macraith had for. several years
been head-waiter at the Cocoa Tree, where he
was known by the appellation Of Bob; and he
at length rose from ,ha, humble situation 10 the
rank Of Baronet. He was clever, good-na-
tured, civil fellow, and greatly liked. When
he himself succeeded to the business, he was
rather puzzled as to what would be the most
appropriate name for his house. George Selwyn
calling in one morning, he stated the difficult
~ to him, saying that he was afraid "Bob's
Cofee-house" would sound rather Iueerly.-
