A Dinner of Horse Flesh.

81 went on Saturday." writes Paris
correspondent, Ito a horse-tiesh dim
ner given by NJ. DucroiX, Veterinary
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 palatable virtues to extraordinary
culinary science. Everything, except
the sweets at dessert, were of Chevaline
extraction. l thought the soup better
than bouillion made from beef The
bouilli was very toothsOme; Cheval a
la mode was also excellent, but the
crowning dish was roast filet, which
which was very tender and succulent.
There was no flavor 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 enthusiast, and dreams of nothing
else than cheapening meat, and render
ing the lives of the horses tOlerable by
getting the people TO become hippo
pOphagists. If the ultimate fate of the
horse was to be sent to the butcher S
Vi lhC
cabmen, he opines, would be more mer-
ciful to the beasts they drive, and the
poor would be able to fall back from
dear beef and mutton upon cheap and
more nutritive meat. Since hipo-
pophagy has been introduced here,
more than $4,000 horses annually have
fallen into the stew-pans and soup
pots of the French capital. 1t appears,
indeed, that the supply is scarcely
equal to the demand.
"On sitting down felt, / confess,
somewhat nervous. 1t occurred to me
that sundry chevaline diseases were
propagated by incubation. Nj. Du'
croix, who suspected my misgivings,
informed me that the inspection OF
horsehesh for the flesh market is more
close than that of beef. The living an
imal has TO pass veterinary surgeon
and when it is reduced to the condition
of butchers meat it is again subjected
to microscopic examination. Some
members of the Society for the Protection
of Animals have invited M. DucroiX tC
London TO make arrangements will
them for a horsefesh banquet at thu

Seized by a Devil Fish.

Early last August a party of Cape
Flattery or Makaw Indians, returning
from visit to their friends (the Song
ish of Victoria), encamped the first aft
ernoon out on the beautiful Bay of
Metchosen, V. l. The weather being
very fine, most of the party went bath
ing, and among the number maiden
of perhaps eighteen summers, who had
accompanied her grandfather on the
trip. Desiring seclusion, she went
round point away from the other
bathers, and, being known as bold
swimmer, is supposed to have taken a
header into deeper water. However
taken, it proved to have been plunge
into the arms of death, for when the
swimmers reassembled around the camp
fire the girl was missed and, notwith-
standing diligent search that even
ing, could not be found. The follow
ing morning with sad hearts the party
left; but very soon those in the fore
most canoe, on rounding the first point,
saw (the water being calm and clear)
human body as if seated on the sandy
sea bottom, with what seemed like n
-four bag Immediately behind it. The
natives knew what this meant. AS
soon as the canoes got together, two
of the most active young men managed
with daggers so to disable the monster
(for it was gigantic devil fish, that
the octopus with its victim was brought
to the surface. The foregoing facts
have been communicated to our inform
ant by an intelligent and respectable
half-breed woman from Metchosen,
who saw the body of the drowned girl
with some of the prehensiles of the
mollusk still adhering to it. She com
pared the head of the octopus in size to
that of fifty-pound flour sack, full;
and said that the tentacles We're twelve
