In years by-gone, when Rockaway was the
focus Of fashion as watering place, and le-
fore Saratoga and Ballesions had superseded
it, The halfway house at Jamaica used to be
filled with travellers on their excursions, who
generously staid there over night and pursued
their Journey to the sea shore in the morning.
One warm summers evening, when the house
was unusually crowded, an Englishman rode
up in gig and asked for accommodations for
the night.
Landlord.--I'm very sorry cannot enter
tain you, sir, unless you will accept of supper
and lodging with French gentleman up
stairs.
Traveler-No, won, sleep in the same
room with any id Frenchman; and off he
rode, with all the grum looks Of real John
Bull.

back and said he believed he must put up with
it. But this expression about the FIenchman
