THE PERSONALITY OF JACQUES LEBAUDY.
M. Jacqaea L«baudy—"Sa Majeste J»cqnee Premier," as he registered himself at the Savoy—haa none of the characteristics which,might be expected. He indulges in no vapid gasconading, uses ■word* sparingly, prefers to go abont his diplomatic business unobserved, detests the attentioa of the curious, and fears interviewere with unaffected dread. Still on the sunny ride of thirty, slight of build and calm of manner, some of his friends oav« remarked in Jacques 1. , s outer man • certain resemblance to Mr Chamberlain. Peter the Great, who worked as a ship's carpenter in Deptford, is his id«?al. He neither drinks wine at dinner nor smokes » poet-preodifll cigar, though ho has a cnnoni weeiness for aerated water, which aardly tonnds aa Imperial drink.
