The III, ee bills for table glass make, together,
the clev.r sum of So, 500 so What will the hon.
Iocofocos say to Mr. Van Buren, for spending the
FINGER ours, in which wash his pretty taper
ing soft, white, lily fingers, after dining on frican-
deau de and omelo'e souf1e? How will the
fri ends of temperance real tetotllers- relish
the foreign "cut wine coolers and The s'barrea-
shape flute decanters with cone stoppers?
Here is receipt for another ornament found on
Nj Van Buren's dinner table, that tells much IN
gard to the character OF his democracy;
"Roceved, Baltimore, l4th ufNuvem Der, 1887,
Oft. T.. Smith, Esq ome hundred dollars, in full
for n set of ARTiFiCIAL FLOWERS FOR THE
PRESIDENTS TABLE.
100 dollars. JOHN THOMAS"
Mr. Ogle said he was willing to concede that tho
expenditure OF 800 is in itself, very small mat
tc,. The question, however, is not hoo much cash
was paid 10y Mr. Van Buren, for The bunch of ARri
FIctAL FLuwFRs which dccnrates his table, but
whether the Peoples money shall be expended for
such II, islocrac French fnery? and whether Mr.
Van Buren,, who has been raised to the most eXalt
ed station on earth and whose example upon soci-
ETY. must necessarily have most powerful and ex
tensive influence, shall, by the introduction of for
eign gew gnws into the house Of the American Peo
pile, contribute to corrupt the plain, transformations,
and republican manners OF our people, by creating
vain desires for external show and for foolish dis.
plays Of splendor, which are not congenial to orr
frugal habits?
The remaining bills, which make up the sum of
$ll,l9 52, before mentioned, consist of various
articles of cutlery, bought from Messrs Lewis YER
81 CO., for $56S; amongst which, are table
knives plated on steel, silver ierule, and transpa-
rent ivory handles, $500. Dessert set TO match,
guard carvers. &c.
