From the Westminster Gazette.

There can hardly be a shorter street in London than the one connecting Pall Mall with the southeastern corner of St. James square. from which the name John street has just been removed. It has only one house, which is No. l; for though there are two other doors In the street. one is numbered as belonging to Pail Mall and the other Is the side en- trance of public house. Presumably therefore. the single house is now to be absorbed in St. James square and the London directory is to lose yet another of the slowly diminishing total of John streets.

make the railway and the trains. They
fasten ten or fifteen houses together

is as big as an elephant, and the road
II goes on is as smooth as the stem OF

ried house and as wide as the kings
