win tn. Comm. Ma, En-, Horse.

Tho possibility OF h~ippophagy came
prominently before US last water, at
the time it was announced from London
that . company of British men. in def
ance Of British prejudice and by the
conIivance Of o Gallo cook, had dined
upon horse flesh in London. Something
similar was proposed for Now York, but
the project fell through, and the topic
subsidized from public notice. 1t has
been brought to our attention again by
an elaborate article contributed to u
medical review by DR.. Bowdi,ch of Bos-
ton. The Doctor has culled NIL the ac-
cessible evidence relating to his subject,
and reports:
l. That horse flesh as q Wand is and
has always been in use among more
nations than have rejected it.
q. That where necessity has COM
PEELED its use by people educated in a
r%epugnance to it, the results have
always been good.
). That the scarcity of animal food
among the poor renders the adoption Of
the doubtful comestible highly recon-
mendable, if no other objections be
brought against it than those Of which
the article disposcs.
We think DR.. Bowditch makes out the
first two points bat We think equally
that in regard to this country he fails TO
establish the last +; that is, that horse
flesh could be prepared so cheaply as 10
allow OF its being afforded and eaten BY
the class who are now deprived Of their
proper allowance Of the meat of the pc
riod by reason Of its costliness. This
class is everywhere in this country very
small, and, what the author of the
paper under discussion appears to over
look, it is precisely in this class that
the prejudice against horse flesh would
be found most difficult of eradication.
1t seems, too, that the economy of the
addition proposed to our diet is doubt
full. DR.. Bowditch, indeed, admits that
it is only sup%erannuated horses that can
proftably DO used for food, and the
t~oothsomeness of a Third nyenuc car
horse, for instance, after he has served
out the average term Of usefulness, even
under the Ggis Of DR.. Bergh, is pro-
blematical. In some quarters it is pro-
posed to obviate this difficulty by i'm
porting horses Of the small African
breed, which are too weak and too in-
tractable for labor, and fattening them
for food. But evidently the existing
butcher will not incur odium by keep
ing the abhorred flesh, and q person
who should deal exclusively in horse
flesh would find no sufficient market for
his wares in any place smaller than
New York, until the prejudice becomes
much weaker than now.
On the whole, we are at n consider
able distance yet from hippophagy. As
an article Of food for the poor it is used
nowhere, not. even in Paris; and as an
experiment by the curious in cookery,
one trial Of il almost always sufices.-

cent case an IoloG.-A case came recntly before
the courts Of Des Mones which involved a law
principle that dealers in real estate should be
familiar with and which, If so. would save not
a little litigation. The defendant in the suit
sold 10 the plaintiff a lot, and gave a warranty
deed, convenanting that the same was free and
clear of membranes. Soon after il was dis
covered there was mortgage on the property,
which had been executed several weeks PRIOR
10 the sale made 10 plaintiff. The suit was
brought for obtaining money under false pre-
tences, but after an examination the defendant
was discharged, on the ground that the mort.
gage being on record was sufficient notice 70
third parties, and whoever bought the property
took II with proper notice of lien. This prm-
ciple has been afhrmed by the supreme Court
repeatedly. and IL settled. Persons buying real
estate in Iowa should rely entirety upon the
public records, as by them will .heir titles de-
pend In this state The state having provided
means by which conveyances may be on record.

that all parties must avail themselves of them.

WASHINGTON AND ALEXANDRIA R. r. CASE
Train Seized.-The Alexandra Journal of this

are known TO be in very complicated condi-

citizens last evening, from the fact that the leo

Asaph street Depot. As many of our citizens
may not be aware Of the present legal status Of
this road, we give 1t as we understand IT
Nearly year since, Judge Thomas issued an
interlocutory order, and appointing Mr.. VIM.
n. Marbury receiver for this end of the road.
From this decree the lessees appealed to the
District Court at Fredericksburg, where the
decision Of Judge Thomas Court was affirmed.
An appeal was then taken to the Supreme
Court Of Appeals, where the decree Of the Cir
cult Court was again affirmed. This last de-
cision was rendered in May or June last. Yes
terday Judge Thomas executed the order Of the
supreme Court OF Appeals by issuing pro.
cess, directing the Sheriff Of this County to
take possession of the road and its rolling stock,
and turn The same over TO Mr.. MarDury. The
$40 tram did not leave last evening as usual,
and we are informed, though not on authority.

How TO CATCH RATs-For catching rats in
a cheap and effective manner, we recommend
the following: Cover a common barrel with
If, stout paper, tying the edges around the
ba rrel: place a board so that the rats may have
sy access to the top, sprinkle cheese parings
or other "feed'' for the rats on the paper for
s,veral days, until they begin to believe tina t
they have right to their daily rations from
this source. Then place IN the bottom of the
barrel a piece of rock, about six or seven inches
high, filling with water until only enough of it
projects above the water for one rat to lodge
cross in the middle and the iirst rat thar comes
on the barrel top goes through into the water
and climbs on the rock. The paper comes back
TO its place and the second rat follows the first
