AT first we had bruiled fresh mackerel-

We did not have any horse doovers.
Sometimes they have huitres, bat not
/ always. PoissOns are used quite com
monty, especially when company comes
on board. Relieves occur on TUESDAYS
and Fridays. We had cafe noir. also

spoke from mere thoughts, so did not
occupy much of the time. It was in
every way Il corker.
Other speakers followed, but space will
not admit Of an extended reference to
their subjects or the remarks which were
made. (Haying made several excellent
speeches at Delmonicos this winter
which have not been reported fully, l re-
fer above rather pleasantly TO this one.)
After our cigars we went above, and
the examination of recruits began. We
happened in accidentally while DR..
Keeney was engaged in examining a
youth. The young man was attired in
the same style in which Diana appears
in the great painting where she is repre-
sented as waiting to be surprised while
bathing. She however, wears a large
pohceman's star on her forehead. This
young man had no star. He had on his
breast, however, a very good study in
India ink of Washington crossing the
Delaware, and on one flank the burial
of Sir John Moore. The doctors have TO
make memoranda Of all marks and
brands found on these applicants and
transmit them TO Mr.. Tracy, who is
making a collection Of them.
Some Of these lists read like the cata-
l0gue Of the Louvre; others read like
the record of stock brands for Sweet
water county, Wyoming. Birth marks
also have to go in. SO the description
might read something hike this:

The secretary Of the navy states dis |
uncty that no allowance will be made /
for the travelling expenses of applicants,
accepted OF not. This seems
rather tough, especially where the appli-
can't Is accepted, for he may be at once
ordered to make long voyage, and
unless he can get a rate on transporta-
ion his salary, which consists of 80 a
month and one ration, would be INSULT
,ient. Possibly, however, the beautiful,
heaven born interstate commerce law
permits sailors to ride free from port TO
port if they are friendly to the admins
