Manners Of The Haytiens.
(From the Boton Dily -Advertiser of June E2) As h92r. Granvile, the agent of the Haytien Government, was or his way last week from Philadephia to this dty, he stopped at a public house in New Branswick to take supper. Between 50 and 60 persons sat dowr to the table, and MIr. Granville among the rest. It happened that he was seated next to a{Jnited States officer, who was untfortuaately i'norant of his rank and character. Observing Mr. Granville at his elbow, the officer remarked, 1' Sir, are you not aware that it is contrary to custont for white inen and coloured peo- ie to eat at the same table ?" To this ilr. Granville made no reply. The officer then repeated his observation in a more offentive form; and rose troin the table, declaring that he would not eat with a negro. ZMl r. Granville then rose, requested the officer to resume hih seat, and addressed the company as follows :-" I am informed that it is con- trary to the custom of this country for whites and coloared people to eat at the same table. I sm a stranger, gentlemen, from Hayti, and my ignorance of the c.stom must plead my apology." He then left the tabie. Immediately, we understand, more than balf the com- pany followed his example, and went to the landlord to request that he would set a table where they might have the pleasure of eating with that gentlema3a (poirnting t lr. Granville.) The next morn- ing, the officer, being convinced of his mistake, wrote an apology to the Haytien, and received in return the following laconic and noble reply : "Sir,-I write insults in the sand; fAvours, on the marble." Another incident iD worthy of notice. As Mr. Granville was-about to leave the table, observing the epaulette upon the officer's shoulder, he rematked-" Sir, I am an officer also m my own country; and if I were there, it would he a part of mny duty, bir, to take into cls- tody those Haytiens who insult strangers." iI this isa specimen of Haytien manners, it would not be amiss to send some of our young me. to President wBoer, that they may learn how to behave themselves lik.e gentlemen and like Christians.
