Minor Notes.
Carlist Calembourg.—The original of the French jeu d'esprit in Vol. viii., p. 242., was a Carlist calembourg circulated in the salons about the middle of 1831:
"La nation n'aime pas Louis-Philippe mais en rit (Henri)."
There was another also very popular:
"In travelling to Bordeaux you must go to Orleans."
V. T. Sternberg.
Jewish Custom.—In a recently published music-novel of some merit, called Charles Auchester, occurs the following:
"'I shall treat him as my son, because he will indeed be my music-child, and no more indebted to me than I am to music, or than we all are to Jehovah.' 'Sir, you are certainly a Jew, if you say Jehovah; I was quite sure of it before, and I am so pleased.'"
