Sixes and Sevens [Copied by request from the first number of the Saturday Press, [October 23, 1858]]

After dining at Delmonico's last Saturday evening, the author finds New York City to be in a state of confusion. In this short narrative, he offers a description of the unusual and often backwards scenes he encounters. Blaming his time at Delmonico's for the strange events, he vows not to return for a year, but explains he wrote the article after another dinner at Delmonico's yesterday.
