poached, omeletted, or combined with
ham-or bacon. In place of hearing
eggs called for you will very often re-
mark that, by polite periphrasis of

spoken.) Bread or hot cakes, cold
meats, stewed meats, and Irish stews,
are only 5 cents. And 50 with extra
vegetables, puddings, pies, cakes, peach
a. and cream, etc, 5 cents is the charge.
The bill of fare, however, distinctly
states that All cent dishes, unless ac-
companied by other dishes, will be
charged 10 cents This is simply an
application Of the 'don't-give-bread-
with-one-fsh-bal idea. But in fur
therance Of the great law Of compensa-
ton, it is stated at the very head

$50 we have Court Of Equity with
in this remarkable house. How the
penalty would be collected after being
charged, do not know, for it seems to
me that the ways of the law, though
wonderful indeed and past finding out,
could scarcely be made to reach case
like this. However, it might be some
satisfaction to simply charge it, But,
again, this could not be very well done,
as no charges are made-at least no ac-
counts are kept about the establish
ment. Dinners are paid for as soon as
swallowed, and lodgings in advance.
Though the Tycoon of Japan came
hither with note of introduction from
the Mikado, bringing with him enough
trunks and fans. toiski and hari-kari
implements to fiji the cellar, tho key of
room would not be given him until he
paid over his little 50 cents at the Of
fee. No man ever got a bed in this
house without paying for it. How it
