A Horse Flesh BanQnet.

In the Grand Hotel at Paris, the largest
newest and most beautiful hotel i'll thu
French Capitol, there was recently given
"hippographic banquet" as the papers
style it, at which many distinguished
men of science aud writer's were present
The festival was arranged by two so,
cieties of naturalists. and the one object
was to inaugurate the use Of horse flesh
as an article of consumption, All the
edibles were composed of horse meat
A letter writer, describing the event
says:
The dinner took place in the great
Sale Helnisycle. Horse soup, horse
boiled aar ch0ar, horse baeV a Ia mode
hoIse roast, pate de fole with truffies. We're
suceessively eaten and discussed. Al
desert, Henri de Quatrsfages, chairman
of the horse flesh committee, drank to
the memory of the illustrous GeOffrey de
Saint Hilaire, who first suggested the
idea of turning that noble animal to the
vile use of feeding mankind Gnstave
Gcotfrey Saint HilaiIe. the director OF the
Jardin d'AcclimatiOn, returned thanks
for the honor done his father jules Del
bruck next addressed the company, put
ting the thing in a moral point OF view
which struck me as original.
He said that whereas, now horses were
abused and made to work while breath
was in them, once accepted as all article
of food, pains wonld he taken by their
possessOrs to preserve them from injury
and speedier end would be put to their
life OF toll by the necessity Of killing
them before they had attained great
age This, however, was victorionsly re-
fnted by the next speaker, the director
of veterinary school at Abort, who pleas
antly assured the guests that i'll order to
prove that herse was good for food TO
the last, he himself had supplied the

they had just eaten with pieceof nsed-up
old animals. with scarcely any flesh on
their bones, the youngest Of the lot hav
ing attained fourteen years, and others
twenty, and even two.and-twenty years
of age.
The effect of this speech on the assem-
bly, reminded me of that upon Alexander
Dumas, while travelling in Russia. Hav-
ing been offered bear steak for his din
ner, he remarked on its excellence to the
master of the hotel, who replied, "Ah,
he was an awful beast, aud hard to catch;
but our best shot killed him last night.

was before the time in which, BY their CUSTOMS they
es1cemed 1t lawful to break their fast. And fur.

OF Gods Judgment III they were imminent,) fast
ING IS commanded: together with prayer: COM
manded [! say) by the church to this end: that the
Split might DO clearer and more anselcal, when it
Is qntted, IN some proportions, from the loads OF
nssa: l. astng as it is instrumental 70 prayer,
muss De attended with other aids of the like virtue
ana emcacy such as are removing, for the time all
worldly cares and secular business and therefore,
our blessed Saviour enfods these parts within tho
same caution Take heed, lest your hearts be over
charged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the
cares OF this world and that day ovcrtake you
wares To which cdd aims; for upon the wings Of
fasting and aims holy prayer infallibly mounts up
to heaven.
Fasting, designed for repentance, must be ever
joined with an extreme care that We fast from sin
for there is no greater folly or ndecency in the
worla than to commit that for which 1 am now
Judging and condemning myself This is the best
fast, and the other may serve to promote the in
terest OF this by increasing the disaection to it
and multiplying arguments against it. He that
abstain from all bodily delights and the sensu-
allty OF all bis senses and his appetites; for man
must o not, when ne mourns in his FAST be merry in
MS sport weep at dinner and laugh all day after
have silence in his kitchen and music in his
chamber; judge the stomach and feast the. other
senses.
:.''Let not intemperance be the prologue or the
epilogue to your fst lest the fast be SO far from
taking OIL anything OF the sin that it be an occa-
sion to increase it, and, Therefore, when the fast is
done, be careful that no supervenng act of giut-
tony or excessive drinking unhalow the religion of
the past days but eat temporarily, according to the
proportion of other meals, lest gluttony keep either
OF the gates to abstinence"
Much might be added from the same
and other authorities showing that fast
ing is but an instrument to an end, and
that it is the individual repentance of
every man seeking pardon through our
Lord Jesus Christ for his-own sins, to
which the people are called. And, surely,
never was there an hour in the history
Of man, or in the life Of any man now
living in this country, when there was
more need to invoke the forgiveness and
the favor of Almighty God.

tho vens! and ti'ne-serving, whoseloyalty
will DO tut led to treason whenever they
imagine tfat it will be to their advan
tage," whe i else have the United States
authorities: converts of in the Con
federacy If fMaximilian "is in the con.
dition Of tho man who bought law
suit" is h. the only potentate in that
condition on this continent?
We need not ask why it is that the
same journal which sees elements of
hope and re9cus in the Mexican Repub-
lie can SEQ .io..S whatever in the South
ern Confederacy. Here is this Juarez,
q fugitive, with no settled habitation,
with no permanent capital, with no
money, with no army except few thou
sand ragged Mexicans, whilst in the
capital Of his land sits enthroned Maxi
milan, having the confidence and sup
port of very considerable portion, and
those amongst the mostinauential classes,
of the Mexican people; holding all the
towns, seaports and principal fastnesses
of the country; defended by splendid
French army, and with all France at his
back. Yet the Philadelphia Inquirer
can see hope for Mexico in such con-
dition of things, and none for the Con-
federacy, whose capital stands erect and
defiant; whose armies, under some of
the first generals of the age, hold the
field with invincible courage and deter
mination, and whose people pray God,
with one heart, as the greatest of earthly
blessings, to be delivered from Federal
subjugation.
If President Davis were like Juarez, a
fugitive from the capital, running from
post to pillar, followed by some ten thou
sand Confederates, what would the M-
quirer think and say of the prospects of
the Confederate cause? Yet, we do not
deny that Mexico may, after all, reclaim
her independence. The condition of
Juarez is, after all, not much worse than
of Washington at one period of the Revo-
luton. If the majority of his people are
determined to be free, the French occu-
patton can never be permanent. All
depends upon the people themselves.
Why then are we, whose condition is so
different from that of Juarez, invoked
to despair, while Mexico is encouraged
to hope? Are we less patriotic, less
warlike, less liberty.!oving, than Mexi-
cans? Or have they greater motives for
resistance Have they more interests
at stake? Will they be reduced to a
more unhappy condition by submission
to the benignant administration of Maxi
milan than We by Black Republican
subjugation There is hope for every
people who love freedom hope even for
Mexico in its forlorn condition, and more
than hope for US, if we are true to God
and to our country.

Friday next, the 10th day of March,
is the day appointed for Fasting, Humi-
liation and Prayer. The Congress Of the
Confederate States call upon the People,
on that day, to humble themselves before
Almighty God, and to beseech Him,
through our Lord Jesus Christ, for the
forgiveness Of our sins, and for deliver
ance from our enemies. The President,
in his Proclamation, has invoked the
People everywhere to observe that day,
and the Press and the Pulpit have sus-
tained, with unanimity and fervor, the
official recommendations.
The Richmond Whig says:
In view Of the fact that our position as a people
Is critical it is respectfully suggested that all per-
sons in the Confederacy observe Friday, the 10th
day Of March, appointed day of fasting and
prayer, with more earnestness and so!emnity than
has yet been manifested, and to that epd it pro-
posed
l. That all churches shall have at least three
public services The first early in the morning; the
second at III O'Clock, and the third in the afternoon
or at night.
q. 1uat sucu CnuCcDcS rs can, Will Keep their
doors open and the services in operation, without
intermsiOn during the whole day, the ministers re-
heving one another, and the people going and COM
ing, as they may need.
5. That country churches protract their services
| through four or five hours.
4. That the people really humble themselves and,
| as means thereto, eat no more food than may be
| necessary 10 keep up their strength.
5. That all light conversation and unbecoming
amusements be discarded, and the day be truly OBJ
| served as a day of humiliation
| II there be any virtue in q day of fasting and
prayer, 1t should be observed as the Bible directs
Heretofore many have kept it as a mere holiday.
This cannot be expected to elicit Gods blessing
Our condition is now such that triaing is madness
II We give oil our time and hearts to it for that
one day, We may look for great blessing.
We find in the "Holy Living and
Dying" of Jeremy Taylor certain "Ruks
for Christian Fasting" the following
extracts from which may be Of service
at this time:
:" Fasting, in order to prayer, is to be measured
BY the proportions Of the times Of prayer; that is
it ought to be total fast from all things, during

Juarez, the Mexican President, has is
sued New Years Proclamation, which
the Philadelphia Inquirer says

"Does not read like the despairing farewell of
chieftain who abandons desperate cause. He con-
their country, not with the despondent words of
one who doubts the issue of his appeals, but with
steady confidence which inspires and encourages
The spirit of this sturdy Republican is not daunted
by ll-fOrtune. There is no token of giving up the
contest in his words. He speaks to the minds and
the hearts Of his countcymen, and bids them to
be OF good cheer: He counsels new efforts, and is
resolved TO maintain his struggles for Constitu-
tional Government. The position of Macmillan
continues most unhappy. He is in the condition of
the man who bought lawsuit.
"Instead Of being welcomed as the great pacifca-
tor OF Mexico, he is an object of unreenting hate TO
large majority Of the people whose good will he
would secure He has endeavored to ingratiate
himself with the venal and time-serving. He has
succeeded with those who are to be bought. But
their featy is Of short duration, and their loyalty
will be turned to treason whenever they imagine
that their infdelity will be for their advantage"
The Inquirer finds in these facts
elements of consolation and hope for the
final triumph of the Mexican Republic.
What does it think of the proclamations
of the Confederate President ? Are there
any "despondcnt words" in the official
utteranccs of the Confederate Republic !?
Do they breathe aught but "a sturdy
confidence, which inspires and encou.
rages?" Are the "spirits of those
sturdy Republicans daunted by ill-for.
