"Unpleasant Little Incident."—So the P. M. G. styled it. As the German Emperor and Empress were passing through Metz, somebody, from a café window, shouted, "Vive la France!" Several arrests were of course made, but apparently nothing more was heard of the Vox et præterea nil. This recalls a similar incident that occurred during the trial of Bardell v. Pickwick, "Put it down a 'we,' my Lord!" a voice in the gallery exclaimed, aloud. Search was made. Nobody. "If you could have pointed him out," said little Mr. Justice Stareleigh to Sam Weller, "I would have committed him instantly." Whereat "Sam bowed his acknowledgments," and the incident ended.
"Falls of Foyers."—A correspondent writes:—"I have seen a good many letters in the Times, headed "The Falls of the Foyers." Here and abroad I have seen many Foyers, and only fell down once. This was at the Théâtre Français, where the Foyer is kept highly polished, or used to be so. If the Foyers are carpeted or matted, there need be no "Falls."
Yours, Common Sense.
