Ah, thanks! That (Tramp) makes a lot more sense (than T.S.).

 "An Ideal French Address" was an extract from A TRAMP ABROAD.  It was published in 1882 in the collection THE STOLEN WHITE ELEPHANT, ETC. within the longer essay titled "Paris Notes" with a footnote signed M.T. that stated "Crowded out of 'A Tramp Abroad' to make room for more vital statistics." (p. 242-245, THE STOLEN WHITE ELEPHANT, ETC, Osgood and Co., 1882).  Thus, the citation of TOM SAWYER ABROAD which appeared in the 1910 edition of SPEECHES is an error.

In "Mark Twain's Speeches" there is an item entitled "An Ideal French Address."
It claims that it is an extract from "Tom Sawyer Abroad," but does not appear to be. 
Does anybody know the date that Twain wrote or published "An Ideal French Address"?
