The new form of bill under consideration appears to be a compromise for all parties. A compromise used to be thought a good thing in the time of the great Henry Clay, and a compromise at one time was thought to be all that was needed to avert the war of secession; this compromise bill of Mr. Fulwell's by a parity of reasoning ought certainly to be effective in keeping the peace between the early and late dinner factions, even in a growing commercial city like Memphis. "Back numbers" of these bills (for the system has been in satisfactory operation for several months) show variations in the plan of this expert, whose efforts to rise above the common* place are worthy of re-cognition especially in this land where gastronomical education is at present at a low stage and teachers are few. One sample more is inserted here with very good will towards the author:
