M(l( liJtlllll- The transactions through the New York Clearing House during the last twenty-four years have amounted to $175,Tati,000,lino. This is a large -um, nearly sixteen times the value of all the real estate amt personal property in the United States, and about 21G times the national debt. The purchase ami sales of g Id alone in this city have ex ceeded j'J'itl,B00,0(10 in a single week, and the gild exchanges during the past year have been $2,413,(100,0(H), ami this mainly represents the mere .settlement of balances in the gold- room. And all this vast business has I een done without anybody’s having seen a single gold piece. 'I’iiese figures reveal the fact that we have become a nation of gamblers, and these immense sums may give some idea of the < x’ent to which thi* vice prevails among our people—a vice which is constantly adapting its meth ods to the means even of those with very modi rate income.

A D inner on H orseflesh .—“I went on Saturday,” w rites a Paris cor respondent, “to a l orseflesh dinner given hv a M. Ducroix, Veterinary-in- Chief to the Elat Major of Paris. It was prepared by an ordinary cook, the host wishing his guests to know that the food placed before them owed nope of its j»al at able virtues to extraordinary culinary science. Everything exi/ept the sweets at dessert were of (Jhbva- I line extraction. I thought the ^oup better than bouillion made from/beef. The houilli was very toothsome; Cheval’ a la mode’ was also excellent, but the crowning dish was roast fillet, which was very tender and succulent. There was no flavor or odor that in the remotest way reminded one of the stable, “Tho weak point of tho feast was I the salad, which was dressed with oil taken from horses’ feet. ftl. Doucroix is an enthusiast, and dreams of noth ing less tliHD cheapening meat, and rendering the lives of horses tolerable by getting people to become hippopha- gi-t*. If the ultimate fate of the horse was to be sent to the butcher’s sham Lies instead of to the slaughter house, cabman, he opines, would tie more merciful to the beasts i they drive, and the poor would ho able i to full hack from dear beef and mutton upon cheap er and more nutritive meat. Since hippopbagy has been introduced here, more than 12,000 horses annually have fallen into the stewpans and soup pots of the French capital, It appears, in deed, that the supply is scarcely equal to the demand. “On sitting down I felt, I confess, somewhat nervous, It occurred to me tiiat sundry < hevaline diseases were by inocculation. M. Ducroix, who sus pected my mi-givings, informed me that the inspection of horseflesh for the flesh market is more close than of beef, The living animal has to pass a veterinary • surgeon, and when it is re condition of butcher’s duccd to tile t meal it L again subjected to the ini- eroscopic examination.
