o him the affable Dr.
TRISTRAM, then the rubicund Mr. DANKWERTS, but no Bishop. One o'clock!
The Bishops rise for Lunch and Levee. "Where, oh where! is the Bishop of
LINCOLN?" I ask JEUNE _premier_. "Quick--I want to sketch him before he
leaves!"

"The Bishop!" returns the First Ecclesiastical Young Man, smiling. "Oh,
he never comes near the place." _Exit_ JEUNE _premier_. I appeal to the
austere Sir HORACE DAVEY. "I can't tell you," says sir HORACE--"DAVEY
_sum, non OEdipus_." And off he goes, to argue another sort of a case
about Baird language and the Pelican Club. He will say no more. On this
occasion only, HORACE is TACITUS. I do not find the Bishop, and quit
Lambeth.

THE LITTLE DUC AND HIS BIG BILL.

The _restaurateur_ evidently considered that he "didn't kill a pig every
day," when he stuck _Le Petit Duc_ for this now historic bill, which, as
given in full by the _Figaro_, _Mr. Punch_ reproduces here for general
edification:--

Un artichaut barigoule 12fr.
Un chateaubriand 16 "
1 sole 10 "
1 noix de veau 10 "
1 homard 25 "
1 salade 3 "
1 caneton aux navets 25 "
6 ecrevisses 15 "
Hors d'oeuvre 5 "
Une assiette de fruits 16 "

Whenever it may be the lot of any distinguished Member of the Upper
House to be sent to the Tower of London, or a Member of the Lower to be
shut up in the Clock Tower, the Provisional Government for the time
being will know what to charge for its provisions. The _restaurateur_
addressed his little account, "_A Sa Mageste (sic) Louis
Philippe-Robert_ ('ROBERT' was in it) _Duc d'Orleans_." In styling _Le
Petit Duc_ "His Majesty" the artful _restaurateur_ evidently had in view
a future _restauration_. The _restaurateur_, who expected to provide the
young Duke of ORLEANS with a second dinner, of course quoted SHAKSPEARE,
and exclaimed enthusiastically--

"I must go victual Orleans forthwith!"

_Henry V., Part I., Act I., Sc. 5._

But the youthful Duc or Duckling wasn't to be caught and stuffed a
second time.
