Al length, however, the Opportunity wss
offered, and Was SIZED.
90 a certain occasion. when the chief
digniiaiies OF America, a1d of all repre-
=, n;ei nations, were assembled at tie
Presidcbtixl mansion, the ambassadors
fion abroad, seeming TO feel that tue dig
nifty Of their respective courts rested
upon thetii, jefferson received them all MS
nearly upon social level as he could.
The Spanish Minister was there blazing
in gold and jewels, and his wife bore him
company in u perfect bespanglement Of
rubies, and emeralds. Jeffer-
son did not stop To consider--perhaps he
did not know--the exact relative positions
which court etiquette would have given
to his foreign guests. and innocently
he placed at the dinner-table the
wife of the English Secretary of Lega.
ton above the wife of the Spanish Am
bsssador. The kind host h I'd only thought
of seating two dear friends togelher-the
two wives of the British Minister and his
secretary.
But the wife of the Spanish Minister,
as was natural, was deeply offended, aud
laid the case before the diplomatic corps.
She was indignant, and eloquent, and size
welded an influence; and finally it was
decided that on the morrow the ministers
of France and Spain should wait upon
President Jefferson together, and demand
of him that in future proper respect
should be paid to the rank OF the Euro
pean potentates.
81, at a proper hour on the following
day, the two ambassadors, in full court
costume, with jeweled swords ut their
sides, called at the Presidents mansion,
and requested to see His Excelency the
President. They were shown into one OF
the drawing-rooms, and word was con-
veyed to Mr.. Jefferson, who was engaged
in the library.
Now, Jefferson had been told of what
had taken place, and he quickly OWNED
the object of this visit. Pulling on one
boot, be took the other in his hand, and,
in his velvet dressing-gown, proceeded to
the drawing room, and having lfopened
the door, he turned to servant behind
him, and gave directions, in an easy man
ner, for the making ready of his horse.
Then he entered the room, boot in hand,
and smiled blandly upon his august Wis
itors.
"Really, my friends, this is An unex-
pected pleasure. BE seated, be seated, l
beg. Ne ceremony here. l heard of
your arrival and would not keep you wait

And then. with gleesome laugh, he
sat down, and pulled ON his remaining
boot, having done which he plunged of
hand into a spirited conversation upon
the pleasant relations then existing he.
tween their respective countries. No
man living could talk more sensibly,
more comprehensively, or more eloquent

ment Of language he elevated the gentle
man above the minister, and gave emf
nence to the Christian philosopher and
humane heart above the frozen diplom-
atist. The ambassadors were at first
amazed and COMPOUNDED, and then inter.

tween republican simplicity aud truth,
