Two Dutchmen visitertDehnonico's famous restaurant in New York, Having the appetites and holding capacity of most Dutchmen, thoy sat down and ato a prodigious dinner, asking no questions as to cost, and ordering everything, or nearly so, M from top to bottom of the elaborate * menu. AYhon the blow out—which is vulgar but expressive—was nt an end, then came the reckoning, which was as elaborate as the hill of fare, jjjgrthwitli, the elder Dutchman, with 'OTwlubility of a Dutchman who knows all the oaths of his own language, and all the strong expressions of the English, set to work to' storm and protest and swear he would not pay a " schent,'' Of course in the end he had to pay, after many vain protests, and attempts to reduce the total, When the two gormandisers eventually walked out, the elder brother, who carried the purse, had still in hand an unexhausted supply • of had language, which he let off as ho passed through tho corridors and grand hall.
