BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1857. Manner* unit I uvlom—VV hat Chinese tl In general the diet of the Chinese is vari ons, wholesome and well rooked. Many ol their dishes, it is true, are unpalatable to Kuropeanson neronnt ol the vegetable ml in which they ate cooked, and the garlic that almost universally taints them. Hot, jtufg ing from the exhalations that assault one's olfactories in passing American restaurants and kitchens about dinner lime, our country - men would bo likely to make noseiinus ob jection lo taking dinner with a Celestial on account of the alliaceous plants, with which the viands are flavored. As lor the o'her offensive ingredients in the dishes ol John Chinaman, namely, the vegetable ml, il it is of any oil.or kind in the world bill die pro duct of the castor bean, wo eatnol imagine it to be more disgusting than such strong hog's lal and rancid butter, as mingle to plentifully in almost sll American attempts at toe culinary art. The very perfume of the ingredients mentioned is lrei|iiemly strong enough to fear up an egg, and for that reason arc every whore used to "taiso" pie ernl ami short cake. In lulls of fare in the Middle Kingdom, dogs, eats, rata, snakes, worms, figure more prominently than in ours. Hut the nation which enjoys the highest reputation lor its cuisine in the world, has an equally authen tic claim to preeminence lor its comprehen sive a,'ipmpnatioit ol the bounties of nature to the sustenance of man. Ftlcaseos are rarely or noer professed to bo composed of canine hums, grimalkin loins, rn• s, snake, and worms. This the chgance ol neither the French nor American taste would permit. Hut who knows w lint pan ol animated nnitire is some litr.es hidden under the sweet suspi cious word "agent, or is disguised in tumble refectories by lite nil embracing name ol soup !
