GREeLeYs MANNERS WERE BAD.


The genial old philanthropist Horace

grateful recognition Of his action i'll go

people We're anxious to show him every
attention in their power.
A dinner seemed to be the proper
thing, and the markets of New Orleans,
than which there are few better i'll the
world, were ransacked to make the oc-
casion as notable for its viands as for
the distinction of the guest and the din
ers. Judge Walker, the veteran editor
of The Picayune, presided. He was a
great gormand, and after the manner
of Commands wished none of the fine
points of the dinner to be lost to the
guest for lack of commentary.
Mr.. Greeley said he, "these oys-
tiers are the best that come to our mar
ket, and we think they vie with those
of Norfolk. | observe that you are not
eating them, .
"Well, no. " replied Greeley. 1.-THE
truth is | never could abide shellfsh -
And he passed.
Then came some delicious green tur-
tie soup, which Judge Walker explain.

tie the Florida bays could afford

in Greeley's peculiar whine, but cold
blooded animals are an abumination to
me.
The pompano, imperial fish that it is
and fresh from the gulf, was open to
the same objection despite Judge Wal
ker's eulogy, and that, too, was passed
Mr.. Greeley barely tasted the accompa-
nying Partisan dainty and shook his
head rucfully at the idea that anybody
would impair his digestion hy eating
cucumbers. Shrimp salad, another New
Orleans delicacy, proved no more tempt.
ing Shrimps, he said, looked so much
like worms that they always give him
the creeps.
"Ah here is something you will like
IA homely dish i'll name, - said judge
Walker, but fit for the gods. 1t is a
Galicia ham. And then he went on
to tell how the hogs from which these
hams We're obtained We're fed only on
chestnuts, making the flesh luscious and
delicious.
Perhaps 20, very interesting in
deed, observed Greeley, but do you
know, judge, that there is SO much talk
of trichina nowadays that l wouldn t
dare taste bit of pork,
The judge gave up in despair, Tho
only things in all the array of daintic,
which had been provided which Mr.
Greeley would eat Were bread, potatoes
and cauliflower, and he feared that be
