G.W. SMALLEY writes to the New York Tribune that "invitations pour in by the score" upon Mr. Cody (Buffalo Bill). Since the Queen visited his show he is all the rage, young England is lengthening out his stirrups and learning to ride cow-boy style; Mexican or McClellan saddles will be the rage next, and through Cody the manners of the frontier are having a boom in London. Cody seems to be playing his hand first rate. He declines most of the invitations; seems to be keeping himself well in hand, and meanwhile he is putting money in his purse. The United States has sent many worse representatives than Buffalo Bill to England, and paid them a salary for going.
