London Criticizes New York.

The little differences between life in London and New fork are by no means all to the credit of the latter. Our letter post crosses London in a couple of hours; theirs often takes a couple of days to cross New York, m London the goods you purchase in the morning may be Sent home before the evening; in New York you are lucky If they arrive next day. The parcel post, too, is quite a new thing in America. Add to this such facts as the absence of “boots" in the hotels —the guests have to resort to the street corner "shinera” —and the display of dustbins, even in fashionable streets, long after midday, and it will be Been that the “smart” and "slow" of which the American is so fond when comparing himself with us are not always to be applied as he applies them. —London Chronicle,
