Facts and Fiction.
The generous hospitality of the gveafc men of the Golden Gate is proverbial. But it does not equal the hypothetical liberality received by an Irish friend of mine on the occasion of his visit to the late Jonas Levy. Both men were well-known member of the Savage Club. Mr j Levy had invited one or two of his fellow-members tovisithim. They all knew that Levy was rich and eccentric. It was said in the Club that his alid Andrew Halliday's ideal heaven would be a place with good roads good horses, and good gigs. " Sir," said my Irish friend of the Ravage. " Jonas |Levy treated us with the noblest kind of hospitality ; we ■ stayed with him several days, and one ot the most delicate attentions that we received at his hands was in respect of the bowl which you know is placed in the hall of his castle full of gold and silver in case any - guests might be shox't of change. I am bound to say that our host kept the bowl continually filled up — an instance of friendly and thoughtful feeling towards us which I, for one, shall never forget." — Peuple.
