IL 1923 an Englishman, known to his genera .
ton as Col Baillie, and at one time prominent
HcIlOeF OF Jle BIltlSu Rouse OF Parliament
made tour of the United States. His notes of
the journey have just been printed for the first
time. In the course of his wanderings through
this country he found only one thing which
could in any " ~ be regarded as worthy of COM
parison with a like article in England He saws:
There is a wild fowl peculiar to this country
but more commonly met with at Washington
and Baltimore known by the name of canvas
back duck It's flavor is REGULAR but certainly
superior to anything of this description of game
in England And the fact remains.
Coz. JEROME n. BoNAPARTE is often in New
York. Everybody, of course, knows the ro-
mantle story whose sad ending made his branch
or the CorSlcan family native to our soil. Per
hapS, after all, they have hardly become Ameri
canized, though the strange peculiarly of fate
has left them no other spot on earth where they
can claim home. The Colonel is a born aristo-
crat reserved. exclusive, and living outside the
Influences that make the life of an ordinary
citizen so full of common, every day sunshine
He is hardly what could be termed naughty
man, but lie seems To live in an atmosphere that
never watts itself around our common life He
has a delightful home in Washington, where he
entertanS whatever blue FLOODED people happen
To wander that way. He is a thorough Ameri-
can in one thing-he loves a good horse, and
sometimes when behind the spirited team which
he often drives, he relaXes his aristocratc bear
ing enough TO ring out very plebein hurrah as
his wheels throw the dust into the eyes Of the
horses behind him.
No MAN In New York society is more popular
that Col. Tnomas =. Ochiltree, the gentleman
from Texas of whom the newspapers have 80
much 20 say. Col. Tom lives at the Hoffman
House, and there is G ntinually around him
circle Of bright and jovial fellows. In order to
secure him for q breakfast, dinner, or a sup
per, you must enter upon negotiations a fort
night in advance for he is so much sought after
that his social engagements reach that far
ahead People Of all classes like Ochiitree inn
mensely. for he is a bshearted fellow, capt.
tai story teller and lion vivant generally. fIe
i, exceedingly sensitive on the point Of his
veracity: the stories which newspapers tell of
his proneness to exaggeraton cause him vast
annoyance. and lie has snubbed very meny
estlmable gentlemen who were impcrtiuent
enou IN TO question the probability Of his hui
morous yarns. Ochiltree is a man of distinctly
original apps france, just as he is a man Of dis
tiucily original character. He is above medium
height and incliues 20 icshness: his hair is
thick and reddish. and so - his moustache; "a
certain oblquity of his eyes makes his face all
the more interesting; his complexion is that of
one who frecl5cs when exposed to the sun.
Ochiltrees voice ~ husky, but not unpleasant;
il deepens as be warns up In the recital of
good story. He is eminently cornwall, vet he
seldom laughs outright he seems to satisfy
himself with suppressed chuckling, as il he
were enjoying himself within himself, after the
manner of the tabled gyasticutus. When he
does laugh it is the laugh Of a man prone to
apoplexy.
