The Cincinnati Commercial presents its
readers wllU a pleasing article on the gastatory
paebioD, telling its readers how some of the
great men of hiatory- hare lived. We read:
The word gastronomy, which posseses all
the attributes of good living iu their perfec
tion, ia eoanelj half a century old, ana is, of
conrpe, due to the French, wl-o compounded
it, with their usual skill ia adaptation, from
the Greek. From the iadiporirninate and
vulgar gluttony of Vitellius and Hsliogbalus,
those old heathens of the Decline and Fall, to
the refined and delicate taste of the epicurean
Luc-uUuh, there is a wide interval.
Yet no huirnn being is wholly without In
terest in the eclenoe of gastronomy, since there
is none but muft eat to live. Those who
reverse the rule, and only lire to eat, are not
gonrnian.ls iu the true sense, and loe the test
of pleasure in the overtasking of the pilate.
One of the most refluel aud philosophic of
modern writers laments, with pathetic earnest
ness, the dire necessities that compel us all to
pay tribute to the cupboard iuthe declaration,
"1 can get rid of everything but this perpetual
Stomach; he must eat, and 1 canuot make him
rert'ti''''"
The most graphic and thoughtful of modern
historians, far from despising such tritles as
tie traits and foibles of great men, dwells
upon all such items with interest, as among
the best revelations of character. When we
re id of the reformer Lather, that he was of
full habits, and a hearty ea'.er, that he loved
Rhine wine and Torgau beer, we get at once
an insight into the life and spirit of the man
that is worth whole volumes in folio of con
troversial theology.
Charlemagne, the first Western Emperor,
who died in 1814, although a very frugal liver,
was extremely fond of game. On ordinary
occasions, writes Capeflgue, there were but
four plates on his dinner table, besides a pieoe
of game that the hunters bronght to the Kra
reror, ready spitted, since they knew this wa
his favorite meat. The historian adds that
this prince ns-d rarely to drink more than
three times at his repast.
.Augustus C:ucar was fond of brown bread,
little fish, cheese, nod of new cow's milk, and
freth tigs. Suetonius relutts that he drank
habitually hut three glasses at each meal,
which shows him to have been of muuh more
sober and simple tastes than most of his suc
cessors. .Apicius, the clehrated Roman gnrraand,
wl oee name has furnished a proverbial phrase
to the literature of dietetics, was passionately
foi d of lobsters. Small blame to him for that,
mi ce this is the most delicious of shell fish,
rext to the oyster, which mnst ever bear away
tbe palm. Having heard that the Coast of
A'riua yielded lobsters larger and more deli
ca'e than the Italian, Apicius immediately
cl altered a vessel and set sail to ascertain the
fact, and bear home the prizes across the
Mediterranean. A rich old fellow wan this
Apicius, who ppnnt on his table 100,000,000
resteices (about $4 000,000 of onr money),
aud one fine day, triving cast np his accounts,
and found that if his debts were paid he
Bbmild have left but 10,000.000 sesterces
(ir&OO.OOO), he quietly swallowed poison
through fear of dying of hunger.
The Latin poet Martial, who died in the
year 105 of our era, had a special taate for the
thru:-h and the hare, a preference which he
himself declared in this epigram:
"Inter aves turdus, si quia, me J nil ice, eertct,
Inter (juadi upciiei. gloila prima lupus."
The Emperor Alexander Severus wa3 so
fond of rab hits that, according to his biogra
pher, Lampridius, he ate one at every meal.
Frederick, Emperor of Germany, who died
in 1843, was madly in love with melons, and
his immoderate passion for them finally car
ried him to the tomb, as the consequenoe of
an indigestion. The same accident, aud from
precisely the same cause, put an end to the
career of the Emperor Maxiini.ian II, of Ger
many. Tasso, th9 Italian poet, had a marked predi
lection for eugared dishes, well baked in the
.oven, and for all kind- of fruit and confection
ery. He was so fond of sugar, that he always
put it in his salad.
Henry IV., of France, had a passionate fond
ness for melons and oysters. He used to eat
immoderately of both, but it would appear
that the wine of Arbois, of which he made a
great use, saved him from the indigestion to
which the great indulgence ia susU aliments
exposed him.
The Frenoh Marshal Hooqnincourt, who
died in IMS, bad a paiticular penchant for
cheeps' tails, and kept all his life a cook who
knew how to prepare a savory dish of this
caudal mutton, which tbe Marshal dispensed
to his officers to put them in good stomach for
battle.
Charles XII, King of Sweden, was certainly
not a difficult eater, sinoe Voltaire records that
a slice of bread and butter was his supreme
choice in matters of diet.
Crebillon, filn, the French novelist, who
died in 1777, was an insatiable devourer of
oysters.
A certain English gentleman named Roger
son, gave great preference to ortolans at least
the final act of his lite seems to prove this.
We are assured that this disciple of Apicius
expended, iu the space of nine months, the
almost incredible sum of X 150,000 sterling
upon his table and culinary experiments. In
fact, his whole fortune had beeu thus swal
lowed up; and, seeing himself reduced to
want, he employed a guinea, the last that
remained to him out of his largj fortune, to
the preparation of an ortolan, his favorite
meat. Then, having tasted, with all the de
lectation of a consummate epicure, this ulti
mate dish, he quietly fell back and blew his
luains out.
Voltaire was extravagantly fond of coffee,
which he drank to ex. ess as Dr. Johnson did
tea. The same ihtracteristio w ta exhibited by
the naturalist, BuII'ju, who aim jst lived upon
ct'five. j
Fchiller, the great German poet, who died
in 1M5, was so extremely fond of ham, that
he ate it nearly every day, ami notwithstand
ing this remarkable taate, ho dr.mk hut spar
ingly. !
Frederick, the Great, of rru"Ma, had a nota
ble predilection for a dish called jinlrntit. This
was a species of barhy-cake reduced to pon
der and roasted. On this, and a cup of octree
(iH his paesion for which this priuce fairly
rivalled his fiieud Voltaire), he used to rea'e
himself with much gusto. Not a very great
debauch for a king or a philosopher.
h'apoleon was another great coll'ee drinker,
and would take tometimes twenty oupa a day,
without apparent injury. It wai his nly
marked ca.-ite in dietary matters, the other
pleasures of the table having been, in a mea
sure, indifferent to him. This caused his
chamberlain, M. Cussy, a renowned gourmand,
to lament that the "sentiment of the cuisine"
was wlolly wanting to the Emperor; aud he
cited this defect as an evideue t hat even the
greatest of men cannot be perfect.
Judge Chase was thf1 fmrtl'uial currency
