.Mrs. TroIlopc oui- TroHoped.-A series of papers has lately appeared in Germany, entitled !" Sketches of Society in the Uni ted States of North America,' purporting to be written by German Lady, after four years of observation, ending with 1885, As a specimen of the whole, we give the following account of the first breakfast ta- ken by the writer in the United States.

 sWe went down to the breakfast room. where we found the long table covered with variety of hot and cold meats, and fish, and surrounded by about thirty guests.- Each helped himself to what stood before him. One began with salad, then eggs, then he took slice of roast beef, washing it down with coffee, and following that up with cold fish; while his neighbor reversed the order. Before we could recover from the astonishment, every thing in the shape of eatables was consumed. So much tho more was surprised to hear calls from all sides for forks, the use of which could not divine, as l had already seen that the American has no need of them for eating, but uses his knife alone with wonderful dex- ;eriy. A waiter brought several plates full of forks, and set them in the middle of the table. The gentlemen--what signifcation these genuine republicans attach to this term, really do not know--immediaiely fell upon the forks; each secured one, and repaired to some part of the room where he could support his feet against the wall. Some even put their legs upon the table, and iri ihis posture began at their ease,to pick theirteeth and pare their nails. When this operation was finished, each drew from his waistcoat pocket bit of tobacco pre- pared for chewing, showed 1t with his finger high up between the cheek, and hurried away C business.
