GREELEY AS CHESTERFIELD.-Whl bile was
in Washington Horace Greeley used occa-
sionally to visit us there. remember that
he once breaktasted with me, il recollect
Alright, Rte-d!tete. Mr.. Greeley had long be.
fore this discarded Graham bread and a
vegetable diet, and had grown to be very
hearty Geyourer of animal food. After
breakfast I lighted cigar, and offered one
to him, although / knew that he did not
smoke. Of course, he declined 1t. he
was in capital bumor, and, turning to me,
he asked me if knew that he claimed to be
the most polite man in the country. told
him that | recognized bis many excellent
qualities, but was not aware that he was eSpe-
cially remark lble for the graces of politcnes'
He assured me that he ,caS, and told me
that he had never been beaten in politeness
but once in his life. That happened, he
said, many years ago, before the days OF rail-
roads. Early one morning he left BasS's
Hotel. at Utica, in stage.coach westward
bound. There was but one passenger be-
sides himself-a gentleman Of very prepos-
sessipg appearance, with whom he soon fell
into conversation. After while the stran-
ger slowly, and, as it were, mechanically,
drew cigar. case from his pocket, and OPEN
ing it. rendered it to Mr.. Greeley, who de-
clined the proffered offer. The CONVERSE.
tion was resumed, and presently the
stranger, extracting cigar from the
case, placed it in his mouth, and
returned the case to his pocket. Another
interya! of talk ensued, when the stranger
abruptly but deierentially remarked to Mr..
Greeley, : 1 hope, sir, you have no objection
to 8 cigarf" "None in the world, sir" re-
piled Mr.. Greeley, "when it is not alight."
"Oh," replied his companion, ~ had not
the most remote thought of lighting it."
Therenpon Mr.. Greeley felt that he had
been conquered in poilteness, and he after
ward asceriained that the victor was the ia
nous Captain Sherman, of Lake Chsmplain.
