why, Duke, it means Member Of the State Leg

"Ah, perceive, Col" said the Duke, 'tho'
not an N, p, you are an NJ S L. then l have
aot been much out, after all; SO now Col.
Jones, good-by, have to meet a number of your
countrymen at the American Minister'S this even
ing; hope | may have the pleasure of meeting you
there"
.Good-by, Duke, said Col. Jones, '.but, one
word before you 90. | know you're temperate,
but you have no objection to Old Bourbon, n,-dont
you rather like. TO-
"Well, to be candid with you, Col Jones, in
these times of turmoil and treason, when anarchy
seems to ride the whrlwnd and reverence for le-
gtmacy is lost in the revolutionary cry Of cqua-
ty, my preferences are for the old Bourbon dy-
nasty"
Good lick, I" says Col. Jones, '.Tom Marshall
himself couldn't speak better. Good by, old fel-
low, you'll hear from to- morrow"
The Duke left to attend Mr.. Peabodys soiree,
to which he was invited by the American Minis
ter, and Col Jones to see the ''sights."
The next day, porter, carrying hamper, was
seen knocking at the cate of Apsley House. He
delivered his parcel and a letter, of which the,
following is copy, to his Graee's servant:
'LOEDoN, Queen Adelaide Hotel July s. 1851
Colonel Jones presents his compliments to
Field Marshal the Duke Of wellington. to whom
he had the honor to an introduction in the CRYSTAL
palace yesterday, or rather to whom he had in
trodpcei himself On that occasion his GRACE
expressed a preference for old Bourbon. To graf
ify the taste Of his grace-though Col J. has
trIe--bn nrssents bis CIaco With dozan hotties
of the former Of which he hers his Grace's ac-
ceptance--hopes he'll like it
His Grace F. NJ. the Duke of Wellington"
His Grace was utterly conf0unded on the receipt
of this note. "Monongahela !''-Indian mum
mics, [ presume, thought the Duke,-"superior
to MoaongahelaH' why" he added, 'sthis
must be some Internal machine. The writer Of
this letter means to blow me up-to blow up APPS
ley House! I'll Immediately have him arrested
But while thus soliloquizing, an ctache Of the
American Minister entered, who, by the way,
knew Col. Jones well, and explained to the Duke
the properties and relative merits of old Bourbon
and Monongahela.
The Dukes reply to Col JOnes'S letter was
characteristic. Here II IS:
'APsLEY House. July s.
'F. n. the Duke OF Wellington presents his
compliments to Col. Jones. +, NJ. the Duke OF
Wellington has not for several years accepted a
present; cannot consent to receive his. Is there
fore unable to say how he likes it. Should Col.
Jones desne to have the opinion on the subject, Of
+. NJ the Duke of Ncllngton's grocer his resi-
dence Is 1875 Strand.
Col. Jones, Queen Adelaide Hotel
This broke up alIIntercourse and correspondence
between his Grace and the Colonel, and as both
were so abruptly terminated they are not likely 10
be soon renewed.
The Colonel says the Duke may know what
good sating is, but that he is deplarahly ignorant
OF every thing in relation to frstrate drinks.
