The following curious narrative forms part of a
letter of an occasional correspondent Of the Na-
tioadl Era.
LoyboY, April 20, 1854.
For many years there had been connected with
the American legation in Paris negro of remark
able qualifications. lie was not Virginia negro,
for they seldom speak French, and would make
themselves awkwardiy oljecionOl at French courts.
lie was an unostentatous man, great hnguist:
a clever diplomatst, and was respected hy all who
knew him for his aifable manners. lie bad Tor
many years been the main staff of the legation;
and several times during Sanford's absence proved
himself not to be worst Higger connected with 1t:
| Americans knew him, respecting him, vaulted HIM
for his attention to the duties OF the office. lie had
shonc through several administrations, watched
their changes with interest, given welcome recep-
ton to every new minister, had heen treated kind
ly in return, and had trained his boss" in the
etiquetical performances Of preparing for court.
lie had proved himself quite expert in the passpors
to American citizens. But John Y. Mason, gem
tleman wholeft his French in Virginia and brought
only his prejudices with him, became the Ameri'
can minister who was to astonish the French court
with his refinement, his brilliancy, his greatness
verythiDg but his French the thing most essential!
The question of clothes arose, and the good sense
of the ''nigger" being opposed to foggery, a qaar,
rel was the result, and the favored negro himself
was summarily discharged.
The following extract from letter which re-
ccived from friend in Paris, n fcw. asFs ago.
sad situation. The negro long connected with il
and those who was the main staff of the minister,
as we'll in Diplomacy in the minor duties of the
office, has quarreed with him, and lie has left;
Mason is now like Chinaman in New York, with
out knowing word Of the language. Few Ameti'
cans ever sec Masch; Int they hear Of his awk-
wardness at court with panied feelings"
We must add, that there seldom is a great loss
without small gain, and, in this instance, our
minister to Russia became the gamer. Hearing
of the trouble between Mason and the negro and
the value of the latter parsonage. he being good
Russian scholar. secured his services and proceed-
cd with him to his place of destination, where il
is expected he Nl render good service in behalf Of
a rnutc legation. 1t is huped that Gen. Webb
and Mr. Buchanan's remonstrance having failed
in inducing Mr., Seymour to proceed to his post.

THE SOUTH ON THE BOSTON SLAVE CASE

We copy, says the Nt,o York 7r,ces, articles from
the Richmond Enquirer urging the necessity Of
reioliating on the North, for its newly-developcd
hostility to the save-hoding interest and propos-
ing various plans for accomplishing this end. Ii
is suggested that they refuse to employ Northern
men that they refuse to subscribe TO any jour
nal published in Free State that they never
deal with any community where the execution OF
the Fugitive Slave law is resisted or obstructcd -
and that for every fugitive slave withheld North
era resSei be confscatea 10 hjS owHer. The great
object of ali these movements is to prepare the
Slave States for secession and independence The
day has gone by when the Free States can DC
alarmed, or seriously disturbed by ruch PROPOSE
tions. Here follow the articlcs.-Fd. Freeman.

The latter 10 one that we love.
Then crack on the steam lei the business wheels

For we love the ar of the lecicst stced,
Not the pace Of the sluggish mole.
We've accordingly planned on the largest scale,
To meet the demands Of our trade;
For none shall go of without good iii,
And none without being well paid.
We've bought the best goods the market affords
And can irca, you To anything new;
