Precedence "A Keltmkan Claiming Precedence Of Count


We were yesterday shown a letter
from a young gentleman--a native
Of Kentucky, who is now in Rome
the eternal ciiy-to bis friends
in this State. He gives a graphic
description Of bis journey from Paris
thither, and recites one amusing Incl
dent, Of travel. which is worth transcri-
bing. He states that in the boat in
WHICH he Travelled on the Rhone, from
Lyons to Avington, he was half fam.
ished with cold and nearly whole star
we'd with hunger. He tried bIibe to
the cook, and entreaty with the caps
tain-but neither availed in obtaining e
dinner. After pacing the deck for
some time, mentally calling anathe-
mas OIL the heads Of all Frenchmen in
general, and the surly captain in par
ticular, whose passenger he was, he
hurried down tothe cabin, for the pur
pose of getting segar and putting il,
instead Of blowing up the captain
Thereto his astonishment, and not
without exciting his envy, he found a
t,lIow- faced Russia Count Count
O'lotf- discussing a very fine dinner,



the ob;equious captain standing be-
hind his chair, apparently honored
with being permitted to act as his
waiter.


II thoughi,' Gail tho young Izy-.-
luckian, casting scowl al the cap,
tain, who could speak little broken
English-! thought you had told me
that yoa did not furnish your passen-
gers with dinner'


Pardonne, monsie6r; dis be not one
ebery body passenger; he be one
grand Russian Count.


"And what the h-!l ifhe oe? Said
the Kentnckian, who was as ardent
az Western sun could make him-ii
he be IA Count, | am a Kentuckian, |
would like to know which should rank
the higher?


SPardonne, Monsieur said the cap
tain You be kent--what?-dat
be title Of one noblemaD, Anglaise.
Ell? ,..


"No," said the kentuckian, bluntly
that is the title of an American SOW
ereign.


'Ah,' said the little French captain,
Struggling up his shoulders,and bowing
down his head--ah, excusez, monsieur
--pardon.. did not know YOU be
one grand nobleman; but now | gel
you dinner, toute suite: and in due
time the dinner was brought--to
which, with the addition Of a bottle o.
sparkling hook, the Kentuckian did
ample justice. He says he has neve,
known so agreeable an instance Of the
respect which the American name in
spires abroad, as that occasion afford
ed him ~ o. Delta.



Very Pathetic.
