a RARE Old FEEDER.
A Kentucky Epicure, who Was Chum
OF all tho Nobs, Dcnd Before the Races.

A kentucky Epictrc, who Was n Chum
OF all the Nobs, Dond Before the Races.
A man famous for feeding people died in
Louisville, Ky last week. He was known as
Charley Rufer, and many gentleman in Wash
ington will remember his low built hotel on
Fifth street. near Main. lie was there for
years and made plenty of money. Once, n
few years ago, he left and tried his hand at
some less exacting business, but he couldn't
stay away from his steaks aud his wines, 80
he came back and took up his old watch on
appetitCs. The namc Of tho place" Rulers "
had mover been changed, and he leaves two
sons to keep IL up, If they have the ability
and the knaCk. IL was the Delmonico of
Louisville In point of cooking and quality,
though IL has no style about it, The ceilings
were low, but the prices were high; the bar
was small, but the drinks were large; the
dishes were old, but the vegetables were new,
and the birds, chickens, and venison were
always the best that could be had
Charley Rufer grew red and stout with
serving many customers, who wanted the
best and wero willing to pay for IL. He en-
joyed tho intimate friendship of the best men
in the city. DIR. Dave Yandell brought him
pictures from Europe and all the old gour-
mands and poker players came around for
Chum dinners and long games. When somo
mob with a fat pocketbook wanted to give
dinner or II supper without caring how much
it cost or how much champagne fell down
stairs when the party broke up, Rulers was
the place. There would be no end of courses
and no note of time. In the little waiting
room at the head of the stairs the chums
would gather and bowl of bunch would be
brought in to sip for an appetite; then the
glasses marched merrily abreast the fishes
and the birds for two or three hours-then
benedctine. More epicures, horsemen, and
rich southerncrs knew Rufer than could be
fed in week. and now he is dead with two
thirds Of them.

OUR minister to England remarked at the
Easter banquet of the lord mayor of London
that the relations between England and
America were never moro cordial. This is
not to be understood as any expression of
of the English policy in Ireland,
any more than similar expression by Lord
Lyons in Washington during the rebellion
would have been intended as an approval Of
our opposition to the southern confederacy.
The following lines are from n poem by Mr..
Lowell entitled, "Hunger and Cold" and
seem almost prophetic of the present condi-
tion in ireland:
Let sleek statesmen temporize;
Palsled are their shifts aud lies
When they meet your bloodshot eyes,
Grim and bold.
Everything to you dofers,
You are potent reasoners,
Atyour whisper Treason stlrs,
Hunger and cold.
Rude comparisons you draw,
Words refuse to safe your NAV,
Your gaunt limbs the cobweb law
Cannot hold.

But can seize IA right denied;

a break in the middle similar to that of the
