Romance Of q HoteI-A Ducal Landlord

Romance Of O Hotel A Ducal Landlord
In one of the back, quiet streets Of
Hoboken is small wooden hotel called
the "Hotel Napoleon" 1t is under the
control of foreigner, and is kept in
French style. Here the now Emperor Of
the French lived when his fortunes were
at a lower ebb than at present. And, il
fame does not do His Majesty injustice
when he left, somewhat in debt it is true
he forgot to adjust little bill that still
remains unsettled
But now the Hotel Napoleon is one Of
the most celebrated in all this region.
Dinner is placed on the table at 5 PM,
and at the public table may be found
some Of the richest and most noted men
of New York. Bankers, lawyers, mer-
chants and men of mark on Change, and
they take with them friends to dine.
Clergymen, doctors, and scholars sit down
often to its good cheer. The fame of the
house rests on many things. The dinner
is unequaled-the soups especially are
not to be surpassed in all the city. The
dinner full and elegant, with a hall
bottle of wine of the best vintage, so
connoisseurs say, accompanies each plate,
and the whole dinner and wine costs but
seventy-fve cents, all told
But above all this, at the head of the
hotel is Duke--a live Duke. His
pedigree is unquestioned, For political
reasons he was compelled to flee from his
home and his estate near Naples. He
was we'll known at home for his wealth
his style, and bis noble hospitality-and
men sit at his table at Hoboken who sat
at his palace board at Naples, and who
knew him in the palmy days when he
had fortune to back up his title But
the revolution came. He was found to be
!. friend to his native land. The iron
hand of despotism wrenched from him his
estate, and he fled to the
"Land of the free
And the home Of the brave F"
He set himselfup at the Hotel Napoleon
His success is great. He is large and
commanding in stature, elegant and noble
in manner and person, and he hands one
d plate of soup, or changes the plate, with
all the grace that he would hand lady
to her chair from the piano stool, or
present noble damsel with choice
bouquet of flowers.
The assistant of the Duke is Count,
who shares the toll of the table do hote
And what with the soup of the wine, the
elegance of the repast, and the sumptu-
BUSINESS of the dinner, and the reasona-
bleness of the charge, the real Duke to
help you to soup, and the bonatide Count
to change your plate and fill up your
glass with water, makes this great plain
wooden house really famous hotel.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9, 1859.
Information has been received here of the death
of George r. West, Consul at Bay Islands, New
Zealand.
1t is stated that Senator Broderick is the first
United States Senator that has fallen in duel.
Mr. Hatch ex-Member of Congress from New
York, has been appointed for special service con-
corning revenues under the Reciprocity treaty, but
it is not supposed that be can throw any new light
upon the subject. 1t is well known that the
agricultural classes on the frontiers regard them
selves as seriously injured by the importation into
this country free of duty Of Canadian products of
forests and fields, though the treaty is construed
so strictly at the Treasury Department as to make
such articles as shingles and hops dutiable, yet i.
it held that something like two million dollars of
revenue are lost by the operation of the treaty.
As many Congressman who in reality were anx-
ious to have the agricultural reports of the Patent
Office for distribution among their constituents,
yet professed objection to the policy of Government
interference in such matters the Secretary Of the
Interior has concluded not to make an estimste
under that head for the next fiscal year, but leave
the whole responsibility of making an appropria-
ton to Congress. The usual reports for this year
WILL however, be in the hands of Members next
Winter.
