A CONGRESS OF innkeepers assembled at
! Gorlitz on May 20 to consider the feasibility of
reform in bills of fare. This reform did not
relate to prices, but merely to the language
| hitherto customary in these dccuments-a
| mongrel jargon which, it was justly remarked,
| only leads to mistakes, and, as the speaker
/ emphasized, dates from the time when Ger
many depended on France in everything. :"
! Prof. Dunger, of Dresden, came to the aid Of
] this patriotic endeavor to emancipate the
| Germa bill of fare from French thraldom by
| announcing that the Dresden Society of Inn
| Keepers had already caused to be printed a
truly natio nal nomenclature of viands. This
was unanimously and enthusiastically
! adopted.

| federate ram. Mr.. DriscOll praised the mi mic
| representation OF that great naval battle
| highly, and added new Item to the accepted
Facts concerning that engagement. He said
| that immedi ateIy after her fight with the Mer-
| rimac, the Monitor met with an accident by
! breaking her eccentric, and lay in a disabled
| condition for two weeks OF the Rip Raps, en-
| tirely at tho mercy of the Merrimac: but by
keeping steam up she deceived the Confeder-
ate irOnclad, and concealed her disabled con-
dition.

In San Francisco two enterprising indi-
viduals have recently been reaping quite a
! harvest by clever imposition on Chine Sc
merchants. They visited the various stores

J to defray the expenses of bringing an arm
