What is n bad dinner? Is it n plain
one? That, in d country like ours, where
the viands are, or ought to be, in their
primitive condition, first rate, is the best
YOU can sit DOWN to. The French and
Gcrmans arc no doubt much more scien-
tfic in their cookery than we are; but
that arises from the fact that they have
worse raw materials to deal with. Their
art has its origin in poverty. Their meat
is stringy and lean-the.r fish poor and
tasteless; but these they can dress up
with sauce of rare poignancy and merit :;
and from their ovens miserable veal and
faccid carp emerge as positive dainties.
All honor to them for their ingenuity q!
They are attempting, through culinary
and almost chemical science, to make
palatable and digestible food out of sub
stances which rank low in the natural
scale; and that they do succeed what
Travelled gastronome can deny? but here,
where the beef and mutton, the fish and
game, poultry and vegetables can be had
not only in exceeding variety of kind,
but of tue primest quality-w4y should
people make desperate but really una
yalling effort to introduce foreign applian-
ces which only serve to spoil that which.

the finest banquet that the broad universe

The Philadelphia Press says it is right
for printers to know that, while, until a
recent period, actors were legally dcsig-
mated vagaLonds in England, a statute
passed in the reign of Queen Anne,
which distinctly declares that printers,
like attorneys, are gentlemen. The dis
tinctiun arose in this wise: When swords
formed part of geniecl attire, they were
worn by many who, neither by birth. ed
ucation, nor ealing, were entitled to lie
considered gentlemen. TO place the
matter out of dispute, an act of parlia-
ment was passed, in which were set forth
the various classes authorized to wear
swords or rapiers, as part of their cos
tune. and in this statato printers are ex-
pressly named as entitled to what, at that
period. WAS considered privilege.
