AMERICAN TITLES.
People Born in This Country Who Havs
Handles to Their Names.

Handles to Their Names.
1t is we'll known that the constitution
of the United States frowns upon titles
and orders of nobility, yet there arc
many native born Americans whose dig
mites range from the humber orders of
knighthood to the exalted rank of
princes. And am not now alluding to
heiresses who have been raised to the
pecrage by marriage. These instances
are already familiar to the public. What
is less known is the fact that many
American men have won similar ele-
walton by direct grant from a foreign
crown.
The famous scientist, Count Rumford,
was plain New England Yankee
named Thompson, who went abroad,
attracted general attention by his chem
ical discoveries, and was ennobled by
the king of Bavaria. In our own days
Edison has been made count, and
Pullman, of parlor car fame, a mar
quis, by King Humbert, but neither of
them cares to sport the title, and it is
only alluded to in iocular fashion by
their friends.
The pope has conferred the order OF
Chevalier on several Americans, the
most notable being the millionaire Jo-
seph Brannigan, of Providence, r. L.
The father of Edgar Saltus was knight
ed by Queen Victoria, and has the right
to call himself Sir Francis Saltus, but
has the good taste never to exercise
that right. Marmadulke Richardson, q
well-known New Yorker, was made a
count by King Humbert, but never
sports the title. There are many
Americans now living abroad who
are not so modest. A certain Amer
lean criminal, we'll known to the po
lice here as Max Shinbaum and by
numerous other aliases, is now living
IN Belgium as Baron Shinbaum.
A former Boston spiritualist, Charles
Hamilton Fiske by name, made his ap
pearance in Wurtemburg a year or two
ago as the Count de Vernois, and for &
period enjoyed the highest favor of the
king, until he was deposed by concerted
action on the part of the native no
bility. In both these cases it is no
certain that the titles were genuine. al
though it is quite possible that the.
may have been acquired by purchase
an easy step on the continent of Europe
Genuine Spanish titles, for example
may be bought pretty cheap. the pric,
ranging from thirty thousand franc
for countship to eight hundred for
lnightship.
In Italy the decaycd nobility are en-
titled to adopt strangers as their son
for a monetary consideration, and tn
adoption carries with it such titula
dignity as would be the birth-right of
real son. The consideration, .as rule
is not large. A New York Journalist
now living abroad, is said to have pur
chased the title of "Prince Chialdini'
for mere trife of seventy-f five dollars
To conclude, an instance of titled Amer
ican citizens born on American soil

ioness Danza, the novelist, all of whom

man who had a long story before
him; "and so you may think what a
time ! had when l first came out to
Bengal, where they're as thick as pease
in the wet season. ! haven't forgotten
yet what scare | got one morning,
when | found big fellow snugly
coiled up right under my bath, just as
Twas going to step into it; and how
ever carefully my servants might have
overhauled my bed. never turned in
without going through the whole busi-
ness myself all over again, for fear of
finding a snake curled up between the
sheets or under the pillow.
Il got SO nervous about it at last
that, as if it wasn't enough to light up
on real snake at every corner, l be-
gan to imagine them even where there
weren't any at all. One morning,
awaking earlier than usual, /
thought I saw small green one crawl
ing over the chair on which l had laid
my clothes; and, after all, it turned out
to be nothing more than the green
book-marker of my diary hanging out
of my coat pocket.
Another time facetious chum of
mine amused himself by putting an
india-rubber tube into one of my
boots, and I--of course taking it for a
snake-nearly stamped out the boot
sole in trying to crush it, to the great
delight of the other fellows. In short,
SO long as my snake fever lasted was
aregular nuisance to myself and every
one about me.
after awhile. however, began to
get over it and not to bother my head
about these indigenous creepers' at
ALL but wasn't to get off without a
genuine snake adventure, and pretty
exciting one, too, as you shall hear.
'0ne sultry afternoon was lying in
my hammock in the veranda, eating
frnlt and biscuits (for it was too hot
TO do anything else), when all at
once l saw a little, sharp-nosed,
orlght-eyed creature covered with
smooth hair-like u sort of cross be-
tween a bandicoot rat and squirrel
come creeping along the floor.
Il threw it bit of banana, and at
hrst it seemed startled and made as if
" would run away; but presently it
"fned back again and snapped up the
