From time to titno the Rieat clothes question
karH''"y ajstutml the diplomatic world ot
America. From the inner to the outer circle
ha., ihi atlintion awakened the supposed subtle
learned intelleot ot diploaiaey, to receive
bo Mtistactory folution, and be ci-neted down
ontv to break out afresh witu increased UL'fjra
irHtion. The prave questiou ot clothes is this:
-.Immemorial usaue has established as law at
the courts of mope that at all social gatherings
traced by royalty your diplomate hill appear
in court cot-tume. And this means the dress
the diplomate wears on like occasion, when in
the presence ot his own froveretirti. Bat our
American diplomate hai 110 sovereign other than
1he people, tind no court that calls forruoroiu
the wy of dres than u whole coat graced by
clean linen. If, thcu, our accredited agent of
IheBtate Department, residing near the court
of some Europeau sovereluu, complies with the
social la concerning ores, he is forced to
adopt the costume of some other court than hi
owu. Now. is not this a grave and subtle
question '! U it not worthy the profouudest
Hudy and the most delicate handling f Unfor
tunately it has 10 be considered, aud finally
willed, by our sovereign, the people; aud our
eovereiBu, the people, does not consider pro
Joundly or handle tuch questions with much
delicacy. 'Why," is uuninantly demanded,
shall a proud repreen:ative of the grea.
Kcpublic be lorced to put on this ao-surd
drefH, that is utter all, a bate livery,
marking an in'erior cias in au effete
detpoUsii.? No, never!-' And so our gracious
Bovi-rtign, on the stump aud through the press,
settles the pre.it cloth': question. Such had
txeuihecuiis'idprution, and such the settlement,
when our worthy Minister, the Hon. John Y.
Mahou, arrived in I'm is as the accredited diplo
matic 2 nt ot the (Jovcrumeut of the United
Butcs at the court of Cloud. Mr. Mason, in
common with all our diplomates theu abroad,
was sorely puzzled oy Mr. Marcy's instructions
to appear, .u all oceaiioii, in the plain dresa
of an American citizen. Mr. Bucbauan, with
cue eye on the exigencies of the situa
tion at St. James, and one on the orders
of his 6UWior in Washington, sought to
compromise by pulling his dignified person into
a suit ot plain black, with a snowy vest and
white choker, aud had in consequence been
Mistaken for an upper tervant by one of the
effete aristociacy at a court entertalument. and
requested to make himself lively wiih an over
coat and umbrella. P.erre Soule, on the other
hand, not beiug blesed wall Mr. Buchauan'd
peculiar powers ot vision that enabled him to
look on boih sides at one time, gjt up a fancy
dress of black silk velvet, that was something
of a cross between Bun Franklin and the
Prince of Denmark. Mr. S:mford, who
preceded Mr. Mason at Paris as charge
li'qtf'airts ad interim, aloue complied
wiih the instructions, and appeared before
Napoleon I If, tho En press, and their
brilliant court in the simple dress of a simple
citizen. From this compliance with the iu
eti octions of our Secretary ot State, oq the part
f Mr. Pauford, came all our grief. The Hon.
John Y. Mason, whose name, by tho-by, the
court printer would persist in publishing as
John y., aud the students of the Quartier L ttin
innocently called old Johnny-caKe, had take'i
the clothes question under careful considera
tiou, and had, moreover, consulted one of the
ablest diplomates we then had abroad. This
eminent person was au American citizen
ot Alrican descent, aud rejoiced in the plain
name of John Digits. This colored diplomate
Jiaa heen taken lront Philadelphia to i
Europe as a servant by Mr, Hush,
and left abroad by that Envoy Extraor
dinary. John had turned his attention to a
study of diplomacy; and acquiring a Knowledge
Of languages the distinguished politicians sent
broad by our (lOvernnunt seldom possess, and
blessed wiih a common-sense our educated
diplomatists are prone vo luck, he was eminently
successtul. lie hud. above all, a practical
knowledge of the intricate and delicate ceremo
nies conueeted with court lite. These rare
accomplishments carue In time to be known and
appreciated; and the gentlemen of thiB treo laud
of ours, w ho arc taken trom the politic! arena
to make a part of the most cultivated, as wHl as
the ablest, class connected with the govern
ments of Europe, generally engaged John to
meet thorn at Liverpool, that they might learn
something of thi ir unuud aud much-dreaded
duties. Among tha Americau diplomates thus
dry nursed by the accjmpllhhed Diegs was my
corpuleut and cood-uaturcd ch;ef, Mr. John Y.
Mason. 01 cmrse on this delicate and ditiicult
qmstion of clothes John was consulted, uud his
opinion closed the ducu sion.
'I'll tell von what it is, ah," he said, with
pleat uelibeiation, balancing his tail timire on
one let', wt) ile the oilier peimiited his toe to

In the vulgar tongue of the Ola Dominion, ' if

Andioitwus dett indued to don the court

and debate, as if the cohcIii-mou were held in
abeyance that his Excellency John l.lnl been
vosscBsed ot las court tuu Horn me nr .t.
A grave dilliculty met tho Minister on the
tliresuold. Of our diplomatic corps abroad, Mr.
fnnlord a'.oue obeyed instructions In reference
to elothep. It is true that he had not been
ory successful in impressing upon the deeoruted
tlespotisms of Europe tho charmiug simplicity of
our republican tiovei ument. iieiije only a
rSecretary of Lcfa'-ion. uctiug ad interim, as
tharge d'affaires, the decorated despotisms re
trarded tie move as an ill maunered act on the
iiart of one bo insigiiiiieuot that it was beuearh
serious attention. WhntJoliii Diggs had said
was true enough. To obey Mr. Marcy was to
decline Invitations to all court ceremonies and
entertainments. For a secretary to ignore the
nsages ol his clues and the wishes of his host or
koctcss was simply an Imperuneuce, aud was
treated with contempt. For a minister to do so
would be considered a prune affront, and as
euch would meet with quick reseutment.
Mr. Kanfoid, however, had obeyed Injunc
tions, and he now relused ponilively to accoiu
jmuj Mr. Mapon to the first court ball of the
faon, where quite a number of American
e'.tiitens were to he presented. Of the ceremony

It was a irying moment, and invo'ved muc i
talk and heavy cons imption of t .bao.-o, to
which last-named article the Minister resorte I
with increased energy when his diplomatic
brain was vexed bv some intricate question, as
tho one now demanding solution. Hie Judge

antord was obsnnate, and Mr. Mason found
that he would have to throw up the prssenta
tion or undertake it without assistance. Tho
gentleman wl;o had tided the (everal positions
ol Judge, Congressman, and Attorney-tieneral
was not to be daunted by "the fringe-work and
flummery of a couit presentation;" aud he
swore a great oath that ho would present Mug
pins Co. or die.
' It requires tomethiig nioro, however, than
the experience of American official lite, even
when sustained by the best of whisky aud the
purest tobnceo, to enable one to loon calmly
through the gilding of a court such as that im
pel ial tailor ai t! ui I. o'sterer, Louis Napoleoni
has created. Mr. 51 a-on was not ot that class
who can pierce the outer seeming to the real
8ubtaL,ce, urd retain a self possession tro:n au
inner beiif c of superior merit. The rattling roar
ol carriages, the glair of lights, the gorgejus
(tairwny, made benutl nl by flowers and impos
ing by the C'cnl Garde, up which swept a living
fctieiim of beaat'.lul women and decorated men,
stri'ck awe into the so il ot the Virginia diplo
mat. How he found l.is way to the presenta
tion room remains a mystery. When there hla
troubles began.
The room received for Americans was the one
given ul.-o to tho Englt-U. Mr. Masou was im
mediately surrounded by citizens of our free
land, dote up in court costume that, either
clirouah the awkwudness ot the wearers or
from the fact that the lured dre.-ses did not tit
them comfortably, made them resemble the
armies on the stage in spectacular dramas, that
stalk about conscious o! the jeers aud laughur
of the audience. Crowding about their unhappy
Minister, they begged t" kuow what they were
to do, where place iheinselves and how to act?
The appearance of the diplomatist was as ludi
crous as bis position was pitiable. The back of
his unbuttoned coat maJe a straight line from,
collar to tail. Teat part ot his rotund person
which the satiiical Ijcntou said was content
ouly when tilled with ovsteis, seemed to round
out to twice its otdiuaiy size, while his cocked
hat was fixed firmly to the back of his good
natured eld head. Firmly pratping bis dress.
Buord, he rolled to and lro, usinj laneuage
more remarkable for its foice. thau poli-h in
reply to the troublcomc questions of the
excited crowd.
Strange to relate, an Kncli-h .7pi7ic canic to
the relief of the pel plewd Minister. He begged
paidon lor bis intrusion, and said that he saw
the Miuitter and his udaches wore new to the
business, and beeped leave to sucgest that if
Mr. Mason would place his compatriots on oue
side of the room, in a line, he, the Minister,
could observe the manner the English Ambas.
tador went through Hie ceremony. Itconsieted
merely in walking backwards bVore the Em-
Leror, and presenting each one by name, with
is or her resideEce.
The line was soon formed. A new trouble
presented itselt. Tne people to be introducer,
each by name, were sliaogers to Mr. Mason.
He did not know their several cognomens, and
walking up and dor. the line he demanded
earnestly that they should "ting out their
names." Butwtun iiHir names weresosuug
out he found that he could not remember
VVh'ile thus eniracel the Fmpcror aud suite
entered, and the presentation of the English
began. Mr. Mason ceased his demand for
liames, and gazed earnestly at the process
being gone through with, that he might learn
something ol his duties. The Americans ceased
talking, and settled in a fixed stare at the
world-wide celebrity before them.
I know of no shock more positively disagree
able than one's first view of Louis Napoleon on
foot, and near enough for accurate criticism.
He sits tall, and in carriage or on horseback
appears at bis best. But on loot his short, thin
leas and long body make up an awkward tiaure,
below the medium height; and oue looks in
vain at the retreating lorehead, weak chin,
narrow, drooping shoulders, and broad hips for
auy of the well-known aud distinctive marks ot
the Bonaparte lauiil.y. Oue gazed hopelessly
into the dull, glazed eyes, that have an unplea
sant resemblauce to those of a deceased macke
rel, at his red bottle-no'?, and retreating chin,
to find evidences of intellect and character. He

that showed to a disadvantage his short, slender
legs while the close-htung coat was so clumsy
that'll suggested concealed armor. He strove,
evidently, to hide a slight limp, the origin ot
which I uever heard explaiued.
Thu English preseututiou came at last to au
end, and Mr. Mason's tavs began. Itemerabeiing
the name of his first victim he succeeded,
without bluuder, in inaKing the American Mug
gins and the Third Nanoluon acquainted with
each other. Bat with the next our Minister
came to a full stop, lie could not remember
the uame, and the poor man tried in vam by a
stage whimper to comuiunica'.e the magic word.
The Emperor waited with that calm iudiiirr

expression of impatience. He waited without
result, anil ue niiuui naveso wiuiuu nu iuhl-uuiw;

the shape of a happy io ja ihat ttruck hU diplo

exclaimed: .
