ADinner of HOrseaesh.

Il went on Saturday." writes Paris
correspondent, ''to hOIse-hesh dinner
given by NJ Ducroix, VeterinaTy-in-
Chief to the Etat Major of Paris. 1t was
prepared by an ordinary cook, the host
wishing his guests to know that the food
placed before them owed none of its pal
atable virtues to extraordinary culinary
science. Everything except the sweets
at dessert was of Chevaline extraction.
] thought the soup better than that made
from beef The bouili was very tooth
some .'Cheval la mode was also excel
lent; but the crowning dish was roast
flet, which was very tender and succu-
lent. There was no favor or odor that
IN the remotest way reminded one of
the stable.
The weak point Of the feast was the
salad, which was dressed with oil taken
from horse feet. NJ Ducroix is an en-
thusiast, and dreams of nothing less than
cheapening meat, and rendering the
lives of horses tolerable by getting peo-
pie to become hippophagists. If the ul-
innate fate of the horse was to be sent to
the butchers shambles instead of to the
slaughter house, cabmen, he opines,
N0dld be more merciful to the beasts
they drive, and the poor would be able
to fall back from dear beef and mutton
upon cheaper and more nutFitive meat.
Since hippophagy has been introduced
here, more than 1900 horses annually
have fallen into the stewpans and soup
pots of the French capital. 1t appears S,
indeed, that the supply is scarcely Gual
to the demand.
"On sitting down felt, confess, some
what nervous. 1t occurred to me that
sundry chevaline diseases were propa-
gated by inoculation. Mr.. Ducroix, who
suspected my misgivings, informed me
that the inspection of horsehesh for the
flesh market is more close than beef.
The living animal has to pass veteri-
nary surgeon, and when it is reduced to
the condition of butchers meat it is
again subjected to microscopic examin-
alton. Some members of the society for
the protection of animals have invited
M. Ducroix to London to make arrange
ments with them for horsehesh ban
quet at Crystal Palace, prepared by a
French cook"

For the credit of human nature, it is
to be hoped that the men who descend
from their proper sphere to meddle with
the domestic duties Of the household
are few and far between. The male
housekeeper carries the common purse,
which he holds with an iron grip, pinch
ing every quarter that he grudGngly
doles out for family necessaries til the
very eagle on it squeals, and his wife
feels her degTadation to the depths of
her soul Such mans better half" is
an utter nonentity, with far less indie
pendence of soul and body than the un-
tutored servant in the Kitchen whose
wages supply her humble needs, and
who, if she is not satisfied, can at any
time change her condition. How many
wives Of male hoHsekeepers have even
one dollar q week to spend exactly as
they choose aand no questions asked, i"
and who does not know that more gen

The Prdirie Farmer thus exposes anew
swindle: "A Chicago firm, which came
from Cincinnati, sends out large num-
ber of agents, each Of whom has pack
age of dry goods made up of cheap Pals
ley shaWls and few dress patterns very
showy and sleazy. The cloths are offer
ed for less than their value, and then the
shawls are shown for the purpose OF
catching tho female eye. For shawl
worth S. the agent asks about $50. The
farmer is told that he will not be pressed
for payment, they are willing to take his
note. One is handed to him to sign. On
the back of it, generally, is form for
waiving exemption of homestead rights,
which the wife also signs. The farmer
is given to understand that these notes
are generally for eight or twelve months,
and is assured that he will not be pressed
for the money before the end of the time.
These notes are taken straight to the
nearest banker, and are sold to him.
Of the proceeds of the note the agent
gets 10 per cent, the firm 10, and the re-
naming seventy-five represents the
cost Of the goods. As a general thing the
agent goes first to q banker at the county
seat, and asks of him the names OF farm
ers whose notes he is willing to discount.
Furnished with this information, he
goes out in search of his victims In
some cases the bankers do not care to
discount this paper. Then the firm hold
the notes until maturity. They have on
hand now several thousand dollars
worth of them"

Few men respect girls who are ready
10 be wooed. The custom prevalent
among a certain class of young ladies Of
asking, directly, OF indirectly, the atten-
tons of young gentlemen, is not an aa-
mirable custom. "My SON. said lady
to me, not long since, sis much prelu-
diced against young girl, whom ad-
mire, because she is constantly sending
him notes, inviting him TO be her escort
here and there, and planning to have
him with her" A modest, dignified re-
serye. which Is neither prudery nor af-
fectation, should distinguish your man
ner to gentlemen. Too great familiarity
and too evident pleasure In the society
of young men are errors into which no
delicate and pure-minded girl should
fall, If she desire to retain the respect Of
the opposite sex.
Pride is precarious, but virtue is inn
mortal,

The phonograph company have been
long devising and have now devised
scheme of speculation with the wonder
full talking machine. At first they
thought of selling the machines at 500
apiece to all who would buy, to do what
they liked with them. Then the COM
pany changed its mind and resolved to
send out the machines for exhibitions
with obligated agents. These were to
paw 300 for the loan of a phonograph
machine for three months for the purpose
of travelling exhibitions-the agents to
charge twenty-five cents admission and
to give the company twenty five per cent.
of the gross receipts into the bargain.
About eighty agents are now under in
structions and in training for this new
branch of the show business, and we may
expect to have them phOnographing
around pretty soon. Barnum has offered
81 coo cash for a machine and has not
been able to purchase one yet. The
company believe there is big specula-
ton in it as a show and they want to
reap about all the profits.
