Recent Changes in the Bill of
Fare, and Ensuing
Consequences.
The Fierce Disposition of the
Beefsteak-Iced Coffee, and
Frozen Sweet Potatoes.
The Landlord EndeaYOrs to
Educate the Guests up
to His Menu.

There was a commOtion at the
breakfast table of the Goat House last
week ~hen it was ascertained by a
ti"esn'ae guest that there had been a
Grange in the bill of fare. 1t is not
| GOWN how long the change has been
i, operation, but it is susprcioned that
the discovery was kept secret by the
explorer, until the momentus fact
could be concealed no longer.
Tie TACT is, the bill of fare has
been enlarged, and the regular diet
changed by January order, enema
ting from mine host, the result Of the
employ of new kitchen girl, for the
last pot to be emptied, and a fresh
melange, consisting of the scrap
meat collected during the past month.
is to grace the table, in place of the
mouldy mess which has been placed
before the boarders since the star
boarder induced the landlord to give
the dishes bath from six months
ago. The landlord is to BE- congrat-
nIated for his selicitude for the COM
Tort of the guests. Resolutions were
framed by all the boarders, in con-
veniion assembled, and a purse was
, Formed, with which suit
able monument could be purchased
to cr,nmemorate this important
even, in the history of the Goat
House.
Tie landlord is erdeavOring to cd.
Ucste his guests up to his bill of fare
for so, and thinks that it will take
him Il year TO do it. This is account
able to the fact that many of the
boarders have lived in hotels during
a greater portion of their lives. and
have grown so accustomed to the diet,
that sudden change might prove dis
astrous, perhaps fatal. He has not
announced what the menu for go will
be. but it has been noticeable for some
time past, that dried apples and cold
water have made their appearance on
the table in larger quantities than
usual.
1t is said that the cook has adver-
tised for husband, and this fact is
substantiated from the number of her
visitors. A boarder had to suspend
bis appetite, day or two ago, when
be was late for breakfast, and she was
entertaining a friend in parlor No.
500. One of the boarders proposes
to marry the cook, in order to satisfy
her "hopes deferred" and enable her
to concentrate her faculties on the
culinary preparations. His only cause
for hesitation is the fact that she is
the sixteenth chief cook employed dur.
ing the past month.
A boarder attempted TO swa How
one of the castiron prunes, W hich
are daily placed on the
table as ornaments only.
and would have miserably persisted
had the landlord not forced the prune
down the boarder's throat with his
baton, which he carries for that pur-
pose.
The same boarder, who has grown
thin from ong abuse of hi. liver, eats
the hash with his eyes shut. In this
way the reaches and other ingredients
are aevOured unobserved, as it were,
and there is more satisfaction in the
eating. Besides" said the boarder,
Il find more nutriment in the stuff, as
o'hing is abandoned to waste"
The Deefsteak used IS of the goat"
order, which odor, in fact, pervades
the table, and is of a suilen, unrelent-
ing disposition. The meat is cut in
small pieces and served to the guests
in hunks just large enough to swallow
whole.
The coffee is placed in the dish. pan
over night and is allowed to thorough.
ly freeze before served to guests.
The cow kicked the milk pail over,
early Wednesday morning, but none
of the precious liquid was lost, through
the efficient use of syringe.
The dining room girl is reading
Mana" and seems greatly edited by
its perusal. She will attempt some
thing on the same order herself in the
nesr future.
