Petersburg is a city of gourmets. The long nights in winter, and the ex- cessive cold and discomfort out of doors, drive the inhabitants to in-door pleasires. They consequently pay great attention to the cuisine, and the cooks become cordon-bleus. The best cuisine is, of course, the French, and there are French chefs in many of the houses, but the Ruassians bave a number of national dishes they are fond of, es- pecially soups—cabbage soup eaten with sour cream, cucumber soup, ard n cold, sour soup, which they swear by, but which is not very agreeable to s foreign palate. root vegetables, turnips, beets, , are remarkably good; 8o are watermelons and cucumbers, while game, snipe, wood- cock, partridges, white partridges, hazel ~grouse, black cock, cogs du bois, and hare are all abundant in their season and good. In the way of fish, the salmen is excellent, and they have trout, pot-fish, perch, grayling sequis, somewhat like a striped bass, and the famous sterlet, which I do not think deserves it reputation. Its roe makes the best caviare, The regular Russian restaurant is not to be seen in Bt. Petersburg, Thereis one in Mos- cow, they call the Hermitage, which is thoroughly Russian, A feature of these restaurants is an immense mechanical organ, which grinds out lively airs dur- ing dinner.

This is supposed to whet dulled sp- petite. Besides the pleasures of the table, the Russians rely greatly upom cards to pass the long winter evenioga. They play a great deal and play high, Whist, with some modifications in the counting; baccarat, and a game d:e{ call “quinza,” something like “Boston,” are their principal games Cards are a monopoly in Russia, and their importa- tion is strictly prohibited.

It is in peril t>-day, and itis defeated substantlally,. The only question Is whether we ehould attempt to do some- thing which I think both branches of the American congrass deslre and which the nation universally deslres, to the penaions of those whose pentions are far below what they shonld in the ec- timation of the nation, The Mexlcan persion bill stands dcfeated, and as far tke veteran of the Mex'can war Is con- cerned the bill fs_defeatod by the action of the tenate. The senate were so un- willing that that measure should stand upon Its own merits that they placed amendments upon it which they belleve | to be just and right, The only pract'cal que:tion which we are to mect to-day in ‘egard to pensions 1s whether we shall do this act of stern justice, or refuse to do it and do notbing'in the directlon which my friend, the senstor from New Haw) ehire, desires, Neither tke Mexloan soldier nor the other classes who wera considered o the amendments of that bill will receive any considerstion at the hands of {his cin. gress before the 4th day of March. We can now save somethng for the most needy of all these classes, and that is the #idows who are raceivingonly 884 n-nth aud Leuzgest to my friend thst it pu nothing iu pirl, not even this bull, If we plase this anendment on the bl aud Jtbe house refuse to concar, then 1 ehall ba willing that the senate recade fromour amendment, We shall liave done all in our power; we shall have aatisfisd tha ra tion that we ars disposed to do justice t | thote wlio are recelving lea m ite Lounty and generosity. .

Suppote we tach this amendment t> the bill and the house fatls to tske aciion upon itat all, could the senate receds withont hav- ing possession of the bill before it?. The Presiding Officer— The ctalr would think, on casual reflecticn, that the sen ata could nct Mr. £herman-— There Is the difficulty 1 have. Mr. Van Wyck—Lat me suggest that it would be comp:tent for the senate then to raeall the bill from the house and strike off fts owa amendment, Mr. Sheman—I suppose that ecurss could b3 pur-ued. 1 should vote for this amendment with gceat pleasure, it that could by doze. I think the reques: ought to be granted, and {f {he feuator will see to it that this Iady is not sffected injorioutly by this amendment I ehall vote for it, but I shall hold him responsi- ble for the recall ot ths bill in time to sacure its paresige, Mr. Van Wyck,—I will say ttat 1 in- tended to put this amendment oa the lsst bill onthe calender, but the chait- man of the commiitee suggestzd that was for the case of sn exceedingly old lady, end then I had better take the first op- portunity, and so I ctfered it on this hill, L will, with plaasoro sccopt the sugges- 1ion of the senator from Ohio, and see to it that if the amended bill is not acted on tae bi'l s1all be recalled and the amend ment recedad from.
