Th* slaughtering of hoi see for food is a new enterprise in Portland, Ore.

If this first attempt to sell bora* meat ucce*is, capital will doubtless engage in the same business, and the animals new roaming the prairie*, haif-starved and semi-wild, will b* slaughtered lo make food for man. This first slaughter of horses occurred Tuesday, July 23. It was to have occurred the day before, bat th* horses had not arrived m time. They were a rough-and-tumble lot, of al age* and sizes.

It appears from them that the growth of the country has been steady and rapid during the past quarter of a century, and that next to Brazil it is now the most populous as it is she most prosperous, of all the countries of South America. When the last Argentine csusus was taken twenty-five years ago, ths population was 1. 737,000, but wiinin that time it has risen to 4,750,UOO, according to the stalls, tics ot the new census. The increase has been over 3,000,000, and it is going on, in these years, at a rate snrpaasmg that of any previous period in Argeutins i.istory. This is a remarkabie recoid, without a parallel in the annals of South America. The pupnlation greatly exoeede that ot Chili, with iu 3,000,000 inhabitants, or a bridls of gold.
