HOSS HEAD AND THE FOPS.
BY INVISIBLE GREEN, ESQ.
Hotels have now become so numerous
in cities, and the fare so reasonable, tha
they are the resort, at times, of nearly al
classes OF society. The man who can af
ford TO travel from home, can afford TO stoI
at a hotel and as landlords are smar
enough to regard the wants Of the million
as well as those of the millionaire, we fnt
the lich and the poor, the high and tn,
humble. side by side at hotel tables. :
Homespun there sports silver fork wiz
AS much gusLO as Mr.. Broadcloth, aF
the humble Sally is as much enlitled,P.
and enjoys as fully, the good thingsof
life ut the richly loaded label Of the heel,
as the accomplished Miss Josephine far-
tina Washington Victoria Maria. Case
quentlyr The hotel is 4 good place tosudy
human nature, for there we see meT and
women too, from all the walks Of lif, and
Of all classes Of character. Otter" ex'

sufficient brains to mai an animal hu-
man. The individu& referred 10 were
city fops, diminuliye specimens of hu-
manity, in every regrd.
One of them hadeceived a letter from
