The Round Table.


The round table was q game praeticed by
English Knights IN the days of Henry Ill.
The name was derived from a fraternity of
Knights, who frequently jousted or played
at a lance e-game with each other and ac-
eustomed themselves to eat together in one
apartment, and IN order TO set aside all
distinction of rank or quality, seated them
selves at circular table, where every place
was equally honorable. alf r lad Hsu,
Roger -. Mortimer, q nobleman OF great
opulence, established Round Table at
Kenilworth, for the encouragement of mill
tary pastimes, where one hundred knights
with as many ladies, were entertained at
his expense. Afterward a more expensive
Round Table was erected by Edward Ill.
at Windsor. This one was on q very ex-
tensiVe scale. 10 eontained the area OF a
circle whose diameter WIS two hundred
feet. Games and military exercises were
carried on by the young Knights, who as

HIGH LIFE.
The approaching matrimonial alliance
between the Princess Anna Murat with
the Duke de Monchy now occupies the
attention of the votaries of rank and
fashion. This lovely Princess has for
some time been the object of general
attraction, and gossips say that her
cousin, Napoleon Ill, had rather ten
der feeling towards her; however, it is
certain that he covers her with gifts
we hear of nothing else but the Prin-
cess; her flatterers seem to forget her
origin. Murat, her grandfather was a
stableman. This puts me in mind OF a
rather good anecdote. Monsieur M. de
Boissy, one of the Senate, appeared last
year at a masked ball given at the Tuil-
leries in costume of the time OF Louis
XIV, which had belonged to one of
his ancestors. Prince Murat, wishing
to make himself disagreeable to M. de
Boissy, said:
"You have rather an odd costume.
Monsieur de Boissy; it probably be-
longed to your grandfather!
eff everybody were to come here in
his grandfather's clothes mine would
not be the oldest" returned the Senator.
Prince Murat, it is said, was cut to the
quick by M. de Boissy's witty reply.
A NEW LEPER

geance of the Tuilleries, and who, like
Cain, cannot find stone where to lay
his head, is at the present moment at
Frankfort, from whence he will proceed
shortly either to England or to Swift
zerland. Why does he not try to gain
the free soil of America? We have not
had anything fresh in the way of books
lately, save very beautifully illustrated

The Herald Brownsville correspond
ence of November 9th states: Well
informed people in Mexico think there
are now not over 5000 troops i'm the
country. The Liberals had evacuated
Monterey in consequence of the return
of the French troops from Saltillo. No
fighting has occurred. The Liberal
army was encamped at Camargo on the
LIST of December. Large assessments of
money and goods were made upon the
merchants and other citizens there.
Many of the Liberal troops were desert
ing on account of the lack of clothing
and other necessares. Some further
correspondence had occurred between
Weitzel and Mejia. Weitzel alleges that
Mejia has, on mere suspicion, impri-
soned innocent American citizens, and
informs him, by direction of General
Sheridan, that if such outrages are re-
peated, no apologies for them will be ac-
cepted, and Meja will not be permitted
TO commit acts against the United States
which are no accidents, and that the
Government will not accept his per-
sonal apologies for bad faith. Mejia
claims that the persons imprisoned We're
found in arms against the Imperial
cause. The Imperial troops are re-
ported to have robbed the citizens of
Saltillo of large sums for forced loans.

BUCKwHEAT CAKEs.-The New York
Tribune, which used to be ardent on
bran bread, now asks no better type of
an American . civilization than this
crisp, brown buckwheat cake. We
disdain the muffin and the waffle. They
belong to ruder civilizations, and as
sociate themselves with hurried break
fasts and insufficient rest. We disavow
the hoe-cake and corn-bread. 1t would
not be hard to show that corn produced
rebellion. Mr.. Brooks thinks the Abo-
Iition party; Mr.. Stephens, the fire-eat-
ers of the South. We go back to abo-
riginal times and boldly denounce the
rebellious maize. Mr.. Emerson pleads
in behalf of the Apple. He calls it the
social fruit. We are far from being UNI
just to the apple. In its place 1T Is good,
but it must not be natiOnalized. The
apple belongs to the Yankee-the rest
less, bOthering Yankee-who perplexed
our fathers in mercantile speculatiOns,
and still carries Boston round in crumbs.
The apple means radicalism, or else why
did the serpent select it of all the fruits
to perplex curious woman. Nor can
we accept the Chestnut. A roasted
chestnut is fit for the gods. Tt gives
employment to many noble dukes and
counts, who, after failing to sing opera
to Chicago and the Ne,O York Herald,
find comfortable business on the Bow
ory. The chestnut suggests ruins and
poisoned daggers, and bandits in the
mountains, and Verdi's tremendous
music. Nor can we accept the Pancake!
A pancake is the feast OF Shrove Tues
day, and the Carnival, and ushers in
Lent. 1t is Jesuitical. BY pancakes
the Jesuits hoped to make America
kneel to Rome, but the beloved buck
wheat cake kept as true to the teachings
of the Reformation. The treacherous
pancake comes again in another shape.
A German conspiracy, evidently ar
ranged by the Jesuits, has forced the
pancake upon us as the representative
of liberalism, with philosophy and Ger
man thought. 1t has made many con-
verts with its insidiOus eggs and Sc
ducing jelly, but we trust that it will be
confined to New York. Freedom lives
in the mountains, freedom and buck
wheat cakes, and all Bohemia cannot
subdue them. Above all things, let us
beware of the emelette, which means
Napoleonism, and was brought here by
French emissaries, in the interest of
Macmillan; and of the hot cross buns,
which are the choice food of the aris-
tocracy. Here is an idea for Col. O'Ma-
hony and the Fenian Brotherhood!
Let them drive the bun from Ireland,
and substitute the buckwheat cake.
Then may they hope to triumph over
Priest and Queen.
