(Correspondence of The Evening Star.) PHILADELPHIA: Joly, 1816. As the stomach is the controlling influence with probably four-fifths of the human race, Or At least of that quota of the so-called ciy- lized portion of it, one can not well write of the great exposition without some reference to the arrangements made for feeding its visitors. Therefore a few words in regerd to the restaurants and other like conveniences on the grounds. When theexhibition was first opened, and for rome time afterward, there was much and just comp!aint over the extonionate prices charged at all or neariy @ll these establishments. Latterly, how. ever, there has not, I believe, exist i. id for fo much unfavorable criticism. 4 bave been able to get as good a meal at the major- ity, and for about the same amount of money, a8 ta restaurant of correspo nding rade in New York, Pailadelphia or Wash ingion,— making some allowauce, of course, as one sbould, for difference iu situation and facilities, aud also for the unusual rash at times of hungry people. This is true even of the much abused establishment of les Trois Freres Provencauz, which is the best, if the bighest priced, on the grounds. Tne tari bere does seem high for the dinner of a single person, it is true, and one is likely to run «p & rather round bill, especially if the art or ordering at such places be not fully under- stood. And then, a6 if to farther aggravate the matter, it has undertaken to acclimate the European custom of aE Ry the bill @ fixed sum for attendance.

"This castom works weil enough in Europe, I sup; always same whether you will or not, and whether you bave been well or pay eves. the na- Uonal cross grain is encount , and pretty squarely, too. Buton the whole, in spite of this petty brigandage, I have no serious fault to find with the mythical three brothers, who, i am & id, by the way, never had any connection with the concern bearing tne across the way,—in Paris, that is. Their viands are, however, probably just as artistically cooked and as tly served as nal Jacobs; and pa . to pay liberally for what toy ext have also the restaurant e kept and reasonable in &t all,—at least not a late im) tion, as most customers suppose. Here only plain bread, coffee, tea, and ices aeewe, and ndulg- paratively inexpensive arcicies cannot easily get off short of a couple of dollars. The bread is delicious, it 1s tae; the coffee is good, and the ices are fair, but the prices asked andthe profits ou taem seem to be outrageous when one takes into account the small or'gin@l outlay and the very slight risk ran. There areplenty of other places where a gcod but plain light lunch can be bad for less money; but tomy mind a light lunch is not eroa3n where one 1s engaged in the be ca work of sight seeingaliday. The diain thus made on the 5, m ought to be met by @ warm and toleravly substantial meal, about ncon.
