Marshall Bertrand and the Militia.
The lastDemocratic Age is responsible for
this anecdote:
1t will be recollectod by all our sedate,
| dignifed, and middle aged readers. that
shortly after the fall of Napoleon, when tic
grand q" scattcration " of princes, andnoblcs,
and marsha!ls and kings took place, the Uni
ted States received its full share. Marshall
Bertrand was publicly received in New York
on his arrival, and somewhat fatiecued and
considerably astonislIed with the attentions
that were bestowed upon him oy our then,
ana now illustrious and hignly educated Com
mon Council. Wishing to run away from
the fuss, and noise, and feathers ofthose dis.
plays, he went down OH Long Island trout
hshing. His fame had preceded him and
as he was coming home. to dinner one day.
with q basket pretty we'll laden with trout,
ne, ddeniy came upon company of Long,
lsiand militia that had been ordered out by
! special orders from Headquarters as an os-
cort or guard of honor to the late Gistin cu:sh
ed Marshall Of the French Empire. Bert.
rand could not escape without reviewing the
troops. According to all accounts there were
ttwenty-sevcn men and bays drawn up in n
row, each with musket, with or without a
bayonet, MS tho case might be. The uniform
'ot the company Bertrand could not readily
make ont, for ritwas asnecessary to inspect cy-

lndomitable hero Of that well fought field -
But the militia captain struttcd up in barn
FOWL rooster style, and stickinghis sword ms
near into the bellyof fBertrand as his hcroism
allowed, he requested that great man to re-
view ms army. Consequently Bertrand
\ marched up and down tho'filc BY the side Of
the commander, and after going through all
4 the various ceremonies that are known on
| the great fields of history where troops by
! the ten thousand are reviewed, he suddenly
I stopped, and lifting his hand high, with all

OF great parsonage, said. {" Monsieur Cap
