With the remark that he did not ex- pect to be allowed to take any comfort in Yankee Land, and observing that he was at- tracting the attention of the other passengers. he finally changed his seat to the other side, but not without assuming a lofty air of supe- riority and breeding. and saying “you can put me down a pure Southern gentleman wherever you find me.” He ought to have added “and don't you forgatit." He was‘ evidently unaccustomed to being disturbed in his comfort so unceremoniously. and being talked back to in so independent a manner. it iritntcd him.
