Presidents Dietary Habits.

H#w Harri«»a um( (>TrUa4 im TVIr I<4« »f Liiiu. f It is giren upon the pob]ished autliorityofafi'rcnerstewardo{ the White Hoase that Mr. Hamson and his family iiked nothing «o m';ch as a aimpie dish of Indiana ham and Man land or Virgmia I eggs while he inbabitcd the ' M hite Honse. The e!aborate ī dinuer was a delntiou and a sn.ire | to him. The state dinner he looked upon as the invention of that devil known as his French chef. and wheu fce was forced in j his capacity as President to g!Te snch a spread be passed over tbe courses with a mere pretense of eating. aiul then a litt!e 1, ter woold go to the bntler's pantnand e.it some cold ham and stale bread. However this may be, it is certain no one ever heanl of any tendency to gout on tbe part of Mr. Harrison. He was as tongh as a whalehoue. He could watle the swarups for days in pursoit of the wary canvasback, with no other sustenance thau hardtack and a cauteen of bnttermilk. Not so with Cleveland. His tastes are not of tho stoics, but of the epicureans. He likea what is kuowu in the clnb circles as the most fasbionable dish, and is food of discussing the possibilitics of delicate variations of old dishes to add to tbeir toothsomeness. Mr. Cleveland will not diet closelv, as has been proscribed by The Presideut has thē a nd is crippled with it, and is likm, f 0 remain so unless he will live on sta!e bread and buttermilk. — Pit(shurg lHspaich.
