IN THE WINDOW.

Even down to the days of the Stuarts
this street was only a country ramble,
where one could go out and stroll with a
fair one and have to kick several slum-
bering cows out Of the way every few
rods. Not till the reign of William and
Mary did it become street.
Now it does quite business, besides
being we'll provided especially with
clubs. I believe that the following are
on Pail Mall-viz: The United Service
club, the Athaneum club, the Travellers
club, the Reform club, the Carleton club,
the Oxford and Cambridge club, the
Guards club, the Beaconsfeld club, the
New Athaneum club, the Wanderers
SAdb, UlO q A1IlOl N>dllCtOh CiuU, tilC hIMS
and Navy club and the Marlborough
club. In addition to all these clubs on
Pail Mall, the Prince of Wales lives on
this street.
st. James street has II clubs, and else
where there are several more. Then
there are the Geological gardens besides.
l am up here for two weeks.
You cannot get into the Geological
gardens all the time. They are not open
day and night. l presume that the ami
mails appear no doubt at various other
places, as the music hall people do, piec
ing out their salaries in that way. On
Sunday afternoon went to the gardens
with an idea of fooling with the blue
nosed baboon of Barbary and the sa-
cred COW of India. Surely, l said to my
self, the sacred COW will receive on Sun
day. So paid 2 shillings to a cabman,
whose pneumatic tire had about six inch
es broken out Of it. We rode three miles,
and the gatekeeper told me that could
only get in on Sunday with ticket from
a member.
l asked if ticket would be best from
one of the carnivora or pachyderm.
He then made me understand that must
get ticket from member of the socie-
ty, but before l got back with one the
gates had closed for the day and the an
imals gone to their dressing rooms.
A good friend at home sends me a
New York state paper with the weekly
correspondence of ''Joab" from Haskins-
vile, n. Y, and it is so different in its
unfettered and colty cussedness from the
London Times that l insert it here as a
good, fair sample of American CORE
spondence from the provinces. Some
may not enjoy these things, but l hon
estly delight in them and am now TAX
ing three Florida papers and several 9th
ers published by colored fellow citizens
of the south, which furnish me with
more pure JOY without a relapse than
ANYTHING l know of. The printer is re-
ouested not to correct the spelling or
grammar.
The item about Joe Webb is bit am
biguous, but the vivid word painting re-
garding the fair will be relished even by
philologists and bibliophiles, l reckon:
