A most singular banquet has just taken place
in Paris. A. NJ Decroire invited several
of his friends and small company of scien-
tifc men to dine upon the flesh of horses
who had died from the CHAMBERS; of cows,
the victims of the rinderpest, and OF an ass,
Just killed from the hydrophobia 1t was
" test banquet" one that proved the devo-
ton of each man to science, in that he was
willing to risk his life to demonstrate, in
the most practical manner, that the flesh of
an animal is not affected as human food by
even the worst diseases. The fire puri6es it
and purscs away all infection. The direo,
tor of the Paris geological Gardens is said
to corroborate this theory from personal ex-
pertinent on the condemned meat sent to
feed the animals. So with this question
finally settled by NJ. Decroire and his
friends, and with tho approaching "Diet
Congress" the gay capitalwill have an op-
portuuitylat some future day, to erect statues
to its dietary bencfactors. 81

A letter from Africa relates how monkeys
are caught there: In Dafour and Senner
the natives make fermented beer of which
the monkeys are passionately fond. Aware
of this, the natives go to the parts of the
forest frequented by the monkeys, and set
on the ground calabashes full Of liquor. As
soon as the monkey sees and tastes it, he
utters loud cries of JOY that soon attracts his
comrades. Then the orgie begins, and in q
short time they show all degrees of intoxi-
cation. Then the negroes appear. The
few monkeys that came too late to get fud-
died escape. The drinkers are too far gone
to distrust the negroes, but apparently take
them for larger speciments Of their own spe:
cles. When negro takes one BY the hand
to lead him off, the nearest monkey will
cling to the one that thus finds support,
and endeavor to 90 off also. Another will
grasp at him, and so on, until negro leads
a staggering line of ten or fifteen tipsy mon.
keys. When6nally brought to the village,
they are securely Gagged and gradually sob.
cred down; but for too or three days a grad
ually diminished supply Of liquor is given
them, so as to reconcile them by degrees to
their state Of captivity.
