Iron the st. Louis Democrat
Ar Eater of Horse Flesh'S

We were aware that there was a no'e.
IN Paris, at which horse flesh was served
toths eourmands of that gay and morse
pitable metropolis, and we also believe
that our soldiers acquired much OF tnelf
patience and endurance from feeding
upon mule meat; but there isa German
epicure in this county, who delights IN
examining his stomach with the nesh OF
young colts, raw pork, and the tender
loin of jackasses. A gentleman OF this
city owns farm on one of the railroads
in the county, and the epicurean Teuton
has been employed as farmer to i'm
prove the place. A few days ago our
city friend paid visit to his farm, and
took dinner with his tenant. Oa the
table was a roast of very tender and
Juicy meat, of which our friend Partook
with great relish, and pronounced IL the
finest beef he had ever eaten.
Shortly after dinner constable and
several nelghbors appeared at the farm
er's house with q search warrant TO
search the premises for a young colt be.
longing to one Of the neighbors, which
had been missing for twosdays. The
colt was very fine one, and its owner
valued it highly. He had searched the
whole surrounding country for his little
favorite, and had sent the old mare
whinnying through the woods, but the
lost darling did not respond to its dam
by q yea or neigh, and the owner and
| the old mare were both disconsolate.
| At length neighbor conceived the idea
! that o1r German farmer had eaten the
colt, because he had heard him say that
he had Just as liefeat horse as anything
else As last hope it was finally con
cluded to search Jake's premises, anu Gpe
! necessary. writ was obtained. Inc
searching party, in looking around,
found a colts tail in the yard, but as an
colts tails are pretty much alike, lnls
tail unfolded no story Of the lost quaoru
ped, but served to strengthen the sus,
| picion. The search was continued, and
under some hog skins was found the
newly fayed skin of a young colt, OF the
same color as that of the missing SUCK
ling. The house was searched more
closely, and hanging up in the kitchen
was found saddle of meat. The tail
| found in the yard fitted this saddle ex'
actly, and no doubt remained that the
colt had been killed and eaten BY the
farmer. Our city friend at once dismiss
| ed his tenant, fearing that he might De q
cannibal as well as horse eater, and
4 devour his landlord Strange as tne
affair may appear, it is strictly true. ana
we only suppress the names OF the
| parties out of regard for the feelings OF
our city friend, and dislike to disturb
his equine Unity.
