The savings made by the Democratic
House turn cut to be no savings at all. The
general deficiency bill which comes up for
consideration to-day appropriates in the ag.
gregate between $6,0OO,0O0, and $1,000 900.
1t appropriates for the navy in round num-
bers 81, 100000. The Committee on expen-
dltures in the Navy Department reported the
deficiencies at S3,2O0,OOO, specifying different
items of indebtedness. When that item is
reached in the House, the balance, about
$4,000 900, will be offered as an amendment
to the bill by Mr.. Willis, aud will probably
pass. This is the second deficiency reported
this session for the Navy Department.. The
first was for over S2,OOO,oOO so that if $4,000
QUO and over passes, it will make in the az
gregate $5,000.0OO deficiency for that depart
ment alone for this year. The deficiency for
the Treasury Department provided for in the
bill amounts to about $1,000,O00. The bill
apprcpriates for the Postoffice Department
100000. If the bill passes in its present
shape the amount appropriated for deficiencies
this year will reach $3.50 200.

fusal is one OF the strongest proofs that he is

which he says he did the men who profted

ward in the accepted way Louisiana DO uti-

is as yet no evidence that it was ever written

EpiCUTiSIls

DR.. Rondelet, an ancient writer on
fishes, was so fond Of figs that he died
in 1866, Of a surfeit, occasioned by eat
ing them to excess. In letter to a
friend, DR.. Parr cOnfesses his love of hot
boiled Holsters, with a pTOfusiOn Ofshrimp
sauce. Pope, who was an epicure, would
lie in bed for days at Lord BOlngbrOke's
unless some one told him that there were
stewed lampreys for dinner, when he
arose instantly and came down to the
table. A gentleman treated DR.. Johnson
TO new honey and ClOuted cream, OF
which he ate so largely that his enter
tainer became alarmed. All his lifetime
DR.. johnson had a vOraCiOus attachment
for leg OfmuttOn. "Atmy aunt FOrd's, .
says he, q ate so much of a boiled leg OF
mutton, that she used to talk about it
My mother, who was affected by little
things, told me seriously that 1t WOulG
hardly be forgotten" Dryden, writing
in 1863 to a lady, declining herinvitatiOn
to handsome supper, says, IF beggars
might be ChOOsers, q chine of honest ba-
con would please my appetite more than
all the marrow pudding, for ike their
plain, having a vulgar stomach" Dr.
George FOrdyce contended that as one
meal a day was enough for a lion, il
ought to suffice man. Accordingly, for
more than twenty years, the doctor used
to eat only a dinner in the whole course
of the day. This solitary meal he took
regularly at four O'Clock, at Dolly's chop
house. A pound and half Of rump-
stake, half a brOiled chicken, a plate OF
fish, bottle of port, a quarter Of a pint
of brandy, and q tankaTd Of strong ale,
satisfied the doctors wants till four
o'clock the next day, and regularly en-
gagged one hour and a half of his time.
Dinner over he returned to his home IN
Essex Stree Strand, to deliver his six
o'clock lecture on anatomy and chemls-
try. Baron Maseres, who lived nearly to
the age Of ninety, used to 60 home one
day in every week without any dinner,
eating only round of dry toast at tea.
Aristotle, like true poet, seems to have
literally feasted on fancy, and few men
could live more frUgally than he; in one
of his poems, he says Of himself, that he
was a fit person to have lived IN the
world when aCOrnS were the food Of
men," When BOlingbrOke invited Swift
to dine with him, he talked Of the dishes
he would Offer "A fig for your bill of
fare" said Swift; show me your bill Of
company" Milton was fond Of a glass
Of water and a pipe. A modern poet,
who was asked by a lady Of fashion what
he would like for dinner, answered,
Peppermint cordial and black pud
ding"
