to do? And what are they going TO do
with all the time that used to be taken
up with listening TO Mr Bayard? The
English people are suddenly conscious of a
large accession OF leisure II they do not
have TO hear the American ambassador
talk they will have time TO learn a little
something about his country,
1t would be prema tnre to say that the
officials Of the English government are re-
lieved at this turn which affairs have
taken. They would be ungrateful to Mr.
Bayard If they were really glad that he
had gone; and they wouldn't hint such
feeling for the world But there is a
general atmosphere of rela xation, OF
sire tching out and taking it easy. and at
the same time OF good will to W ard the new
conner. which would not have been so
evident if their hearts were really broken
at the departure of their friend There
is also an intuition that Col Hay will
not insist on being dined and teaed and
brCakfasted and asked 10 make speech.s.
and demand speech-making in return.
The st. James Gazette says: THE new
ambassadors welcome Ms sincere enough
TO need no gush." The Globe says: HE
is likely to be less in evidence on public
platforms than some Of his predecessors;
but that can scarcely be regarded as
fault, for loquacity is not a cardinal virtue
in a diplomat"
The Pail Mall Gazette confesseS to
Feeling of relief that Col Hay is ret

right England wouldn't have stood a
second Bayard. 1t is all very well to
have a nice time, but however nice d
time may be, it is too much to ask
Of humanity that it should be enjoyed
forever.
The Times has just one suggestion t.
make, aud it S limited at in a foregoing
paragraph Now that the English people
DO not have TO listea TO Mr.. Bayard, would
it not be well for them to get down their
atlases, and blow the dust off. aud turn
70 the map Of America, and find out Just
how large America is, and how many days
journey tits from one end to the other, and
fix firmly in their minds a few elementary
facts, such as that Texas is not a town in
the State Of BnSton; that the Cncompahgrc
aad other Indian reservations are not i'm
mediately adjoining Brooklyn; that the
President does not sit down to dinner every
day in his shirt sleeves; and that it is
against the law in most parts of the
United States for a man to carry more
than two pistols and bowie knife con-
cealed about his person? They might
thus gain some really useful information
