FUN AT DINNER.
It is too amusing to watch the different
manners of taking dinner at our
hotels. Some people tuck the napkins
in their neck and use them as bibs;
some eat the chicken with their fingers,
totally ignoring knives and forks, and
some occupy the interval between dishes
by picking their teeth. It is very
common to see people leave the table
hurriedly and chew their dinner from the table to the door. Senator
Robertson, of South Carolina, has been so exercised about
these plebeian actions that he has been compelled to change his
table three times. He is going to make a speech in the Senate
about it when he gets to Washington.
