NEEDLE not with party politics, and follow
in the wake ofnnnc Of the rival statesmen
Of the day, but the following facts, We be-
lieve, will be pleasing to the readers, gem
orally, whether Jackson or Anti-JacksOn.
When the President arrived in New
York he took lodgings at the American Ho-
tel. A costly and luxurious bed of dOaoa
had been provided for him, and hundreds.
/ If not thousands of persons, had pre- yiouslv
visited the room, to admire it, and lis dec
orations. But when the President inclin.
ed to retire to rest, after the fatigues of
travelling and Of the public. parade. he We
ry wisely requested to be furnished with
plain cot bed and nattrass, which were ac-
cordingly provided for him; and we dare
| say he slept much more soundly and com.
| fortably, and consulted his health better for
the change.
AT Providence the most costly prepare
tons had been made, at the City Hotel,
for President Jackson's DiRncr. Every
variety the market could Furnish. or the arts
of cookery invent. was spread upon the
groaning table, and every gaping attendant
must have taken It for granted that the hero
ct New Orleans must necessarily devour
bipeds and quadrupeds without number.
and make his stomach the grave Of his van-
pushed victims. Aud so amid the fumes
OF roasted and baked, and all the aromatic
breezes OF plenteous spicery, the important
moment at length arrived, when the ques-
ton was to be decided as to the name and
nature of the Wand first to have the honor
ofintroduction to the Presidents palate, as
a signal for along succession Of taste after
taste by the kindliest change supplied.

To a bowltof boiled rice and milk if
YOU please sir was the unexpected answer.
Not even the host Of Buckingham could
have been more astounded or diseomiitted.
Rice and milk = Alas the eyes might
run over the concentration ofeatables aud
drinkables, and miss nothing conceivable
or mentionable except rice and nsillk Y
\ the buzz went from waiter to waiter, and
from servant to servant, until at length, the
qa0ntum su0tcit Of rice, from some part Of
the mansion, was produced, but as to milk
in the very centre Of the land, flowing
with milk and molasses-Rot gill could
be discovered. AA-0N had been cooked
| up into some Of the labored pastries and
nick nacks designed for President Jackson.
Swiftly flew the milk pitcher 10 the nearest
fountain ofreplenishment, and in little less
than "a ji6n' the venerable chief magis.
trate was duly accommodated; and as soon
! as decency would permit, many an impa-
tient gourmand and gloaiing epicure fell to,
and did the accustomed and greasy honors
Of the long anticipated carnival. Many
dishes Of gravy and many a sparkling COB
Ie. was eagerly drained, while there sat the
President Of the United STATES, IN Roman
dignity, a simple boar! of rice and milk his
entire meal; and a single tansblsr Of pure
