ePooS OR A STAIRoAsE.-Not much re-
semblance between them yet they are not
so much unlike as one might imagine. We
have been amused at an anecdote told by
Paris correspondent of a London paper, as
follows:
An English gentleman was breakfasting one
morning last summer in the Cafe Foy, whe
his attention was attracted by the extraordin.
ary conduct Of two unmistakable compatriots.
If their general tournHrs had not stamped
them as Great Britons, their demonstrative
manners and the evident seff-complacency
with which they bawled out the vilest French
at the sstonished attendants would have done
so. The Cafe Foy is known as the classic re.
treat Of the iterati Of Paris; nothing but the
purest and most accurate diction is accus-
toned to awake its echoes.
What wonder then if the Z" habitues" laid
aside little of their natural politeness, and
betrayed decided feelings Of surprise. Oar
song" at length shouted one of the Great
Britons, 'donRes nous un sScalter, StcOKs-
play" The walters stared and Uttered, and
the other inmates Of the " cafe" arched their
eyebrows still more decidedly at this extra
ordinary request. "Un eSeaiter gdrsong,"
repeated the Englishman. At this juncture,
their fellow-countrymen, percelving what they
wanted, and compassionating their state, said,
" Mas earcOn, ceS r1esSteUrs destrent uns
eaiHer.'f u What was his reward? co. thank
you; we can talk French without your assis-
tance." DOUBTLESS you can, gentlemen"
was the reply; "but you were asking for
staircase when you wanted spoon"

three Frenchmen, used to the chase Of wild
beasts in Algiers, and the remainder are
Americans, most of whom have copcd with
grizzly bears. The bounty given by the gov
