In general, each house has its distinguishing
peculiarity; some are renowned for their fih ts
aux champignons; others for their soles au
yratin; these for the purity of their wine,'a
thing rare in the quarter! those for the excel
lent quality of their Brie and their Roquefort ;
otheis sf ill, arid the most numerous, for the ex
ecrable nature . f everything eaten and drank in
tl.em. Nevertheless these are not the lea-1 fre
quented. The student, though for very different
reasons, is of the opinion of llarpagon, that we
must not live jo eat, but eat U live. He con
sults cheapness, therefore, above everything else,
and is consoled if he has remaining the where
withal to pay for a cup of coffee at the Cafe
Voltaire.
Many of these restaurants are known by char
acteristic and ineffaceable names, which they
would give half their custom to see f .rgotten bv
the present generation. The dynasty of the N.'J,
especially, is rich in sobriouets of thi ki.,H

.he poisoner, I do not believe in, since I am sti
alive; th.i aquatic, I should like to know who
in this quarier is not so, and who would dare
cast the first stone. Except ti.e principle ones
who have the reputation of their cellars to sus
tain, the rotauratears dilute their wiiWs with
n-maikable philosophy; the only difference
which there usually is between wine and water
is, that one is almost red, and the other almost
white.
While I am on this head, I will relate the
punishment to which an audacious student sub
jected the director of one of these meagre culin
ary establishments, where you dine at a fixed
price, from eighty centimes to one franc ten.

was in vain that they complained t the waiter

it was as pure as the dep:hs of t'ieir hearts. One
d .y, therefore, they lotted among themselves,
for they were almt all aouaint d, by having
frequently met at the same table, an atrocious
revenge, which was at the same time to compel
the.r-aquatic traiteur to make a full avowal.
One of theip, a young chemist of the longest
t eard and the gieatest promise, provided him
self the next day with some pretended chemical
ins rument, destined he -aid to effect, by anal

reached the chemist. The vaiter looked on,
with open mouth ; the darne d? comptoir did tl e
same. Without moving the young chemk-t
turned up his cuffs neatly, like a surgeon prepar
ing for an anatomical dissection, seized the first
decanter by the middle aud hastily emptied it
nto the bowl. The waiter ut.ered a cry of aff
ng it, the dftqie de comptoir m ved on her seat ;
she sought to divine his purpose, and could nbt.
The guests remained in, pass b'e.
At the third decanter ihe. etume de comptoir

And he disposed his instrument in a menac

hand on the elbow of the young chemist and
place within him.
"Child!" muttered he, let that alone I
will tell you all."
" Tell us all, Pere Phlipot," exclaimed his
customers in chorus"
" Well," resumed he, essaying to assume a
familiar air, "yes, I confess if, there is water in
it; but so little, so little."
"They will think there is much if you do not
allow me to finish the operation."
"These wihe merchants are so deceptive"
continued the poor man, leaning with all his
strength on the elbow of M. Prosper; "there is
no way of making them serve Vou conscienti
ously.".
A noisy burst of laughter recceived this naive
declaration ; the chemist shook his sides which
M. Phlipot seeing, be felt himself saved ; and
joining in the general hilarity said:
' Do yau think that, besides giving you for
twt nty-four centimes two dishes, soup, a dessert
and bread a discretion, one can serve up to you
aecanter ot Johanmsbeig? Besides, pure
wine is unhealthy for young people."
Ihe laugh attained Hometic proportions. A
thunder of acclamations arose.
" Vive Monsieur Phlip t !" exclaimed these
volatile youths.

The waiter hastened to collect all round him.

wiped with his napkin, the young and intelligent
chemist dipped it into the bowl, and filled each

The petty restaurints of the Latin Quarter
present a curious spectacle between five and six
o'clock, the dinner hour ; for, many students
breakfast at home on the score of economy, eat
ing in the rooms a roll and a sausage, washed
down with a glass of eau sucree. But. at
a few minutes before five, all the eating houses ; stone
oegm to h i with a joyous and va.ied crowd,
clad in surtouts, talmas, paletots of every fash
ion ; coifed with hats of every form, eiery color.
These are the students, coming'to take posses
sion of their dining-room.
From this moment, until they think proper to
leave, the restaurant is their property; the
tables, chairs, dishes, waiters, all be.ong to
them, and they reserve over those around them
a right of absolute dominion,, which no one
any bring with them
their dogs, and their friends : they feed the form
er with the fragments of every dish, and throw
to them incessantly bits of bread, which they
have a discretion : the second, who have dined
elsewhere, come to read the papers, and to dio
cuss'the Oriental question.
Students do not love ceremony. Tnev shake
hands with the waiters, and tap the co-k ou
the shoulder ; they superintend the preparation
of their dishes, teazing the scullions. Alter the
repast, they sit half an hour at the counter, be
ide the mi-tress ofthe place, V converse with
her ; but the greater number cluster around the
stove in winter, and chat. noisily. These gentle

The dinner was finih.d, amid a universal
jubilee. Atjhe dessert, M. Phlipot mysteriously
re-aj.peared ; the guests were about to .exclaim,
when they perceived that he carried a bottle un
der his left arm, ar.d they were silent.
" It is cassis,", murmured he in a seducing
voice, "and famous too. I will give a glass to
each of you."
This proposition was r. ceived wi;h shouts of
enthusiasm and tenderness. Instead of one
glass, he gave them three : the decauter was
emptied to the dregs. Phlipot opened his heart
to his gue-ts, and assured them that he would
quit his wine-merchant the next day, after giv

Phlipot started.

to the waiter, who was listening with both his
ears ; "go ami see to the kitchen."
" Mon-ieur Phlipot." resumed the chemist!
with a delicacy of intonation of which one would
not have believed him capable, "I have but
je.-ted with you. Al! this was a comedy ; par

And he sought to take him by the hand.
The other at first drew back instinctively ; he
seemed to hesitate for a moment between anger
and good humor. But he thought of his cus
stomers, and g od humor prevailed.

vigorous'y shaking his hand.

Upon this, the guests bowed aud refiredin

bite their lips to prevent laughter.

deprive Fhlipot's restaurant of a single guest.
It had even more transient company for several
days, who came to contemplate moie closely

performed a part in them, explained the various
circumstances on the spot.
