A.uniaue Introduction.

One 5ay when calling upon Gambet-
ia l found him vastly amused over a
visit which he had received few
minutes previously from the late Cen
eral Meredith Read, who for a number
OF years was United States envoy at
Athens.
Then general, who until that time
had been 4 perfect stranger to the
great French statesman, had entered
the latters presence, carrying ir1 his
hand a volume entitled Men of the
Time" or some work of the kind. This
he opened, without saying word. and
laid on Gambetta's desk before at
tempting to greet him or to explain the
purpose of his call.
Then, pointing to a column which
contained a very eulogistic biograph-
ical notice of himself he exclaimed,
Kindly read that" and when Gam
beta, who read English with the ut
most facility, had, in compliance with
the request, cast his eye over the page
in question, General Read rose from
his chair, and with a bow to Gambetta
pointed TO himself, exclaiming in tones
of pardonable pride, "C'est moi"
Then, and not until then, did he ex-
tend his hand to the great tribune,
who, having meanwhile risen from his
chair, expressed his pleasure at max
ing the acquaintance of so distinguish
ed an officer, who had rendered such
valuable services to the United States.
Gambetta informed NE that in the
whole of his long experience of public
life he had never known a man to intro
duce himself in so delightfully."- original

"Ze FIaveur Defeat"

At one of his famous little dinners
a prominent professional man of Wash
ington was greatly pleased with the
salad, as were also his guests. Evi-
IDENTIFY it was partly meat and partly
vegetable, but the flavor was new, dis
tinct and undeterminable. This was so
faint that one guest declared It's not
a taste at all, only a smell"
At length some one suggested that
the chef be asked for the recipe, upon
which the host remarked:
My man greatly dislikes being asked
for recipes. On this occasion, however,
his vanity may ove&ome him if we
tell how greatly we have enjoyed the
dinner. and the salad in particular.
at any rate, We'll see."
The Frenchman soon appeared, and
was visibly affected, not to say elated,
by the compliments.

he needs in after life, and which he
can never receive at home. 1t is a
grandmotherly notion that a man
