Captain felt himself lhe representative
of the American army, aud determined
that the feast should he worthy tie
American name. He accordingly or
dered a full sci Of silver plate prepared
for the occasion, upon which his initials,
as an officer Of the army, were engrav.
ed, and when his guests arrived, they
were aslonisled at the magic-like mas>
niEcence of the scene which presented
itself. 1t was the most costly banquet
ever spread by an Amer eIican with a
single exception) in Paris ;and we'll
it mght be, for it cost The Captain over
$4,000. He is, in his whole dtport-
ment, quite unostenal;ous but he
"let out link" upon this OCCASION, not
10 gain eclat for himself, 5ut in honor Of
the American name. The motive was
appreciated by his fellow officers, and
