GENUINE rsttrnHrss.-Among the many
worthy gentlemen officiating as steamboat
captains on the Mississippi, or the adjaccn,
waters, are those who. for true po1itencss and
the proudcst ages Of c~hivalry. They arc, for
the most part. men we'll conversant with the
world, its sudden transitions from light TO
shade-iN rongh and and smooth sides. In
them is found nenc Of that cearseness for
which those officers who "go down to the sea
in ships" or traverse the sesnlI currents of
England, France and AllemaEnc. are proven

rich one and VIC recollcct being witness 10
an occasion, when one Of them stopped his
boat, run out n plank, and stood some fifteen
or twenty minutes with his hat off in a hard
rain, conversing with an old German apple
woman, who had bcckoncd the boat ashore 10
get an opportunity Of selling n dozen or Two
of unripe apples. The captain, to save her
the disappointment she certainly would
have experienced by applying 10 the
passengers, bought the apples himself and
threw them overheard as soon as the steamer
was fairly under way.
Yet this fact isnot "a circumstance" COM
10 one we heard the other day. A cap
tain, justly celebrated for his urHaity, was
from the shore, between BaF5h Rouge
and New Orleans, by an elderly female. The
boat was brought TO, and the captain, with the
agility Of a squirrel, lcapsd on land.

,equiously bowed before her." Captain, my

"Certainly, madame; certainly" replied
he captain.
"Captain," continued the good dame, al

answered the o~bliging captain and the good
ldy returned 10 her house, to expedite tie egg

We consider this captain decidedly polite. '
