GROWN.

The Secretary took the card between his
fingers, ran his eye over it, then placed it on a
silver waiter and sent it to the Minister. He
invited the Count to be seated.
The valet soon returned to the Secretary
with the message that the Minister would at
tend in a moment in the bureau. The card of
a Count with foreign name, and printed in
the English language, looked suspicious, and
sad experience had taught the Minister that it
was easier to disembarass himself of an an
Inoying visitor in the bureau than in his own
apartment. The Secretary, who in the mean
time, had been scanning the Counts visage,
and who was now well satisfied that he had
recognized familiar face, said to him after the
valet had delivered his message:
"His Excellency will see Mr.. Jones in mo-
ment'
Whereupon George Jones turned red, and
treated the SecretaryS n1tStake with silent
contempt.
Mr.. Mason entered, and the Count rose from
his chair. AS the Minister cast his eyes on
his visitor, his countenance changed: he, too,
had recognized familiar face. He asked to
know what he could do for the gentleman.
George Jones bowed low, and desired to-
know if he had the honor of addressing His
Excelleucy the American Minister. On being

0L1F"Malakoff,' the Paris correspondent OF
the New York Times, gives the following rich
anecdote of American hunkeyism in Europe:
How George Jones got to be Count.
1 have already told you of the scramble of
Americans for the title OF CheUalier de Ia
Legion d H0nnetv. The funkeyism of Ameri-
cans in Europe is an old story Of which, per-
! haps, your readers are tired. But | will ven
ture to give them one more instance so absurd
that 1 am sure will be excused for relating
Fit. The individual who merits this notice is
an American, whose name figured conspcu-
ously in former times in the journals of the
United States, but who has resided for some
time in Europe. For the sake of his friends
certainly not for his own sake, l shall place
him under the disguise of simple George
Jones.
George Jones then was determined, Yankee
like, not to do things by halves. 1t did not
suffice him to fall in as the courtier or the
appendage of a ''decayed Count-(Uide Piatt,
and Piatt is orthodox on that question0 he
must be Count himself; anything short of
that would not satisfy his great ambition. In
effect, nothing is impossible to a Yankee, but
how do you suppose George Jones made him
self Count?
Twas seated the other day in the bureau of
the American Legation, when gentleman
rang and was ushered in. He was middle
aged, and his shoulders were garnished with
one of those traditional blue cloaks, so dear in
times gone by to Members Of Congress. 1t
was seedy, and might have gone through
several sessions; but it was clean and looked
respectable. The rest of his toilet, which was
irreproachable declared clearly enough that
the old blue was clung to from some vague
idea Of its respectability, or from some souv-
enir Of past greatness. In his button-holc he
carried one of those many colored decorations
which come from towards the Rhine, and
which one encounters so often at Paris at the
at 'fxed price" He had the
air which lecomes neither an
American nor Count, but which sits very we
on an American Count. He bowed low and
in patronizing tone demanded of Mr. Wilbor,
as His Excellency at home?'
"Mr Mason, you mean"' inquired Mr.. w,
who had already recognized his men, and saw
a mystifcation in the ribbon
"Yes, His Excellency the American Min
istcr"
"Yes, Sir, he is at home; allow me to send
in your card?''
Geo. Jones drew from his vest pocket a
gold mounted tortoise-shell card-case, and
presented to the astonished Secretary an
engraved card, of which the follow
ing is a fac-simile:

DISMISSAL OF Mr. CHAMPION AND THE BRIT
IsH CoNsULs..-A decisive step has been taken
relative to British enlistments. The long cor
respondence on this subject between the two
governments has been closed by an elaborate
and conclusive dispatch to Mr.. Buchanan, sent
last Saturday, requiring the British Govern-
ment to recall Mr.. Champion, or leave the all
ternative of the Administration giving him his
passport here. The same paper signifies dis
tinctly the revocation of the exequaturs of
Consuls Borclay at New York, Mathew at
Philadelphia, and Rowecraft at Cincinnati, who
were implicated in the enlistments England
is indirectly prepared for this contingency by
previous negotiations, but still the present de-
mand may excite temporary feeling and lead y
to some difficulty in the recognition of Mr..
Buchanan's successor. 1t may also embarras
Lord Palmsrston's official tenure. From pos
tive developments this course is inevitable,
and must be sustained If England makes it
the cause of exceptions in settling the Central
American question, the responsibility will be ,
