The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-07-26

Time has slipped by so rapidly for US
ut home that probably the reading of
she convention news, with an occa-
sional novel, is as much as the best Of
us have accomplished Not So with our
friends who have crossed the Atlantic. AL
ready their letters are coming back full
of varied impressions derived from new
scenes.
This struck me particularly in a letter
postmarked London, which was read to
me the other day. u am half starved. +"
The picture of an English breakfast at
once arose before my mind The-never-
varying plate Of buttered toast and that
dish Of marmalade-who does not believe
in the laws of compensation? Probably
the sight of a good old southern waffle
would have brought more real JOY al that
minute than the thought of hearing Jean
de Rezkrs voice.
BY the way. l have II from the best au-
thority, for the benefit Of those. who from
a too-frugal mind, or perchance a scanty
purse. have not as yet crossed the pond,
that a thorough knowledge of Baedeker
together with a slight use of the magma
tion is enough 10 make one thoroughly
conversant on all topics of conversation
naturally arising from a recent trip
abroad. As so many of our friends will
have such scenes fresh in their minds next
winter. the use of wise precIution
against future embarrassment ought TO be
worth the while.
