THE MASTEB PIKE.
On the second day of the circuit court
week, Turkey Slathers came to town, and
managed to keep as usual, about two thirds
drunk during the rest of the session. One
evening, just as we had got through a consultation
concerning a land case, in Colonel
Ward's office, Turkey rapped at the door,
and immediately opened it half-way and
thrust his head through the aperture.
"At old sledge, you fellows, or a leetle
game of draw !" he enquired.
"Neither," answered Ward. "We don't
do suoh things here. Come in Turkey."
"Oh, no, you don't," rejoined Turkey, as
he complied with the invitation?"no, nanjy
time. Probably not! I'll bet five dollars to
a ninepecce that P. K. has got the four
Jacks in his pocket now, ready to make the
fipef. r?ne needed iest in the nick uv time.?
Well that's natril. A man ain't Commonwealth's
Attorney fornothin', I reckin."
"Oh, you are a common slanderer, Turkey,"
I said; for I saw that P. K. did rot
relish the groundless imputation.
"Nary time, honey! no, sir ? It's universally
allowed that I'm the truthiest man in
this section uv country. Fact is, there ain't
no ohance for bein' anything else; for P. K.
thar takes so much morn in his Bheer uv the
lying that lays about loose, uther folks hev
to put up with truth, whether or no."
"Look here, sir," cried P. K., bristling up
at the imputation; "I would) advise you to
keep your abusive tongue quiet."
"Don't be crooked, my son," interrupted
Turkey; bekase ^you ain't gwine to gither
me. You know that would be parsonally danjerous."
Colonel Ward interposed here, and told
Turkey that he would not permit him to insult
any of his guests.
"Why, Ev, I wouldn't mislist no one as
you know?speshly P. K., that I've voted
for twyste, an's gwine to do it agin?if nobody
else don't offer."
"I've always treated you well, Turkey,"
said the mollified candidate for re-election,
nosing out a possible vote, "and I can't see
why you try to annoy me."
"Now thar it is;" and Turkey, as he
spoke, seated himself before the grate, and
stretching his legs in the shape of a Y, look
intently at the coal fire before him. "Yes,
that's it! I'm allers treadin on some chap's
long heels, and don't know it, ontwell he
squawks. Fact is, I respex you P. K.; respex
enny man that can dripk a quart uv
red eye at one swaller, and holes three aces
at poker in sich a mysterious way, his wonders
to perforrem. But that ain't what
1 come yer for. I hearn ther wus to be a
bustin time to-morrow?all kinds uv great
wurks. What's broke ?"
I explained to him the occasion of the
barbecue, that the friends of the Presidential
candidates would meet the next day;
that speakers would discuss the merits of the
men and the "planks of the platforms" and
that there would be "free bait."
"Edzackly, answered Turkey. "Will
either the men that offers for President be
here ?"
"Why, no. Candidates for the Presidency
don't take the stump; but they will be
fully represented. Besides, there will be a
good dinner. Dr. Bryan has made great
preparations, and so has Harvy Bailey.?
Lots of Whisky about Turkey."
"I reckin I'll stay. But see here, hoss,"
addressing me specially by that equine title,
"are you fond of geese? Some one tells me
you're fond uv sich birds. I wouldn't give
a cuss for a heeped waggin load, for my
eatin; but it's cording to the way a man's
fotched up. I know'd a French feller wunst
that eat frogs?yes frogs! an' they do say the
houn eat oshters too. Ev, yer told me one
time that folks in old Yerginny eat sheep.?
I'd jest leave eat a ole he cat. Well, they's
been mjghty skeerce on Sandy for two years
past.",':
"Oats?"
. "No?geese."
. "I'm sorry for that, for if it had been cats,
we could have spared you about fifty out of
town, and never have missed them."
"Likely, Well, geese won't be sckeerce
never no more. I caught that ole he-pike
that made sich de-vas-ia-tion among 'em."
I saw that Turkey was about to produce
one of his famous Munchausenisms, and so,
as they say at euchre, I "assisted."
"Tell us the story, Turkey."
"There ain't no story about it; but jest
sol-lid fax. You see, all along Sandy, from
the Wayne county line to fernent the mouth
uv the Pond, they ain't raised a goose for
the rise of three year. Fust plaise they
nuvver could find no aigs to set?the birds
laid in sich outen way places; but they wus
hatched somewhur, for a flood of goslings
would make their aperients occasionally,
stay about a week, and then scatter one by
one. Folks allowed the minx and mus rats
tuck em off; but enny how, they went.
"Yisterday, I was on the roover, jest below
Marrowbone, fishing in the deep hole
thar f r peerch, and had two lines out for a
cat, hitched to water birch limbs. Some
way or uther the fish wus skeery, and would
not bite. Chaffinses boy Bill, he come up
and he sez?
"Turkey, thar's the biggest, bustinest
pike in that hole you evvur seed, I tell you,
he's the master kind. laddy gigged him
last spring; the gig it hilt its holt, but the
fish was so powerful strong daddy had to let
go. The fish kerried off the gig, and swum
with the hannel held outen water for over
three months, and then it broke out. He's
a crowder. He aint a yinch less'n six foot
long, and weighs as much as our bay colt.'
"Well, I didn't edzactly swallerall Bill's
noration, but I know'd in reasin there was
something skeerin the peerch off, and thinks
I, I'll lay for you. So I anchors a pole in
the middle, and ties three uv the biggest
cat fish hooks together, an fixes quills around
the line to keep the pike's teeth from sawio
it in two, and then I puts on a big red
horse whootch I ketched with a worrum, and
I sets it. Soon as I done that, I goes to a
deep hole fernent the mouth uv "Wolf, and
thar I fishes for peerch. Bill he would not
go long, but he wanted to see me ketch the
master pike.
"I fished an I fished, aud the more I fished
the more I didn't ketch. Jest as fast as
I'd fix the bait on, the gars?I don't know
what gars was made for ennyhow, do you ?
"To strip off bait, of course," said Hick
White, who lay stretched at full length on
the old green lounge.
"Then I'm dog goned ef they didn't kerry
out their original intention yisterday, for
they tuck off bait a heap faster than I put
it on. At long last I did ketch somethin?
a ugly, mean, nc account gwonno?and I i
was so mad I pitched him clean over my
head into the roover bottom, and I quit in
disgust. I allowed I stopped then an thar,
an I did. Jest then I hearn Bill Chaflms
sing out he was thar.
" I run down stream, and I meets Bill on
the jump, his eyes as big as Bassers, and his
tongue gwine like a flutter wheel. I looks
over into the hole, an I tell you, the roover
jest filled ! Sich sloshin you nuvver seed afore.
The old pike was hookt, and he was
a scrowger! He wuz the antickest feller you
uvver seed. Fust he'd dive down, and could
not see a mite of the pole; and then he'd
come up, and the top av the pole'd jump
outen water more'n a hundred feet.
"Chaffinses kunno was fastened to a birchroot
hard by, so I makes her loose, and Bill
an I gits in her, and I poles her out. But
we ceuld'nt raise the fishinpole no how.?
Uvrv time the pike'd see us, he'd dodge and
shoot, and keep the pole down. At last I
takes the set pole, and putsitondertheline;
but jest as I git it up to the top, the pike
he'd querld hisself, and off the line'd
slanuch.
I fooled my time thar for over six hours,
as nigh as I could jedge, an I got tired.?
Bill Bed he'd dive down and rise the pole.?
So he barked hisself and in he goes. He
swum round a spell, and div down, but he
wasn't strong enough to raise again the fish,
so he give that up. I looks down agin, and
I could see nothing more uv the fish, and I
know'd he had pulled the anchor loose, and
kerried off the pole, so I says to Bill, who
was a sittin in the starn eend, with his knees
to his chin, an his fingers to his toes, doubled
up like a bull frog, "we'll go down to your
house and get something to make a drag."
Wit1, that I gives the kunnoo a couple uv
hard shoves an lands her, and I sez to Bill?
'Sonny, you go in an ax mammy for the
pot hooks and the bed-cord, or a close line.'
(I didn't hear him answer, and I turned
roun, and lo, and behole! Bill wasn't thar.
'I thought first he'd got out, though I
didn't see how; but I sees his old straw hat
a floatin down the roover, and then I know'd
he fell overboard, and I spected he wuz
drownded. I felt awful bad about the leetle
cuss, and stood there an considered a spell.
Dreckly Miss Chaffins, she sees me, and she
sez?
"Whar's Bill ?"
' Why,' I sez, 'I reckin he's up the bank
some-whar. He wuz with me a little while
back,' I sez, for I didn't rightly know what
to say.
'Sez she, 'He's gone up the Dry branch, I
?aa^in Ia IaaIt +V?of ofrott c*r\m nf niirn '
lOViivm, w .wa ??"
1 Yes ma'am,' I sez, <1 heern him say
something about a cow.'
'Well, Miss Chaffins she sed dinner wuz
ready, and I wuz welcome, would I set up ?
and I sot down ; but I didn't eat more'n a
poun uv middlin, an a couple uv pones uv
bread, for my heart wuz heavy. Ef I'd a
hed some red eye I thing I could hev drunk
a quart, I wuz in such low sperrets. But I
hedn't narry drap.
'Arter dinner I went out and tuck to fishin
again, for I wuz so distracted I didn't
know what to do. I flung mc line in agin
at the deep hole, an suddenly I got a leetle
the fiercest bite that uvver wuz. It tuck
hard strugglin to keep my feet, an I was dubertating
whether the line'd break, or I'd
git dragged inter the drink, when I sees
Bill's daddy, that he'd bin over to Warfield,
crossin at the shoal, and he seed I wuz in
trouble and rid up. I 'splained things, and
he lights, an purposes at wunst a gwine in,
whootch de did. He swum out and div
down, and when he riz he sez?
<1 got holt uv a pole an line, an he's on it.'
'It wus the old identical pike, as hed
hookt hisself agin. It wus a tolerable peert
match?the fish a kickin an plungin, and
Chamns he a swarrin an ravin, an I a cavortin
an snortin?an I jumps in too, close an
all, an tuck holt. Between us both we got
him out. He wuz a crowder, though, and
fit desput, and we wuz ableeg'd to stunt him
with rocks, and then we dragged him to
Chaffinses house.
'When we got thar, he looked so large aroun
the middle that T was curious to seo
what wuz in him, so I takes a butcher knife,
and jobs it inter him, rippin him clean up,
an out jumps Bill.'
What!" we exclaimed, simultaneously.
'Bill Chaffins,' continued Turkey, 'what
had fell overboard, an bin swallered hole.
Oh, that ain't a primin to what's comin. Fact
is, Bill wuzn't hurt a mite !?though hcsed
it wuz mighty warm in thar. But the mystery
about the goslins come to light. We
foun two levil bushil uv goose aigs inside of
the pike?an the thing was clear enough.?
You see the geese they'd lay their aigs in
the water, and this grand raskil hed swaller
em whole. The heat jiv the animil'd hatched
'em an he'd feel kine uv misserbul with
them a crawlin in thar' an he'd make 'em
leave. In about a weeks time he'd git over
the skeer, and gobble 'em up in the 7ater,
one by one, as they swum. He's done with
that business now, I reckin, an fethers '11 be
a heap plentier next year on Sandy, that's
certing.'?Southern Literary Messenger.

A GLANCE AT T^E PAST?BATTLES
IN EUROPE.
As a matter of interest, at present, we
give the following result of desperate battles
fought in Europe since 1812 :
On the heights, four miles from Salamanca,
in Spain, the English and Spaniards under
Wellington, totally defeated the French
under Marmont, on the 22d of July, 1812.
The allies lost five thousand two hundred
men, and the French sixteen thouand.
At the battle of Smolenski, in Russia, in
1812, the French loss was seventeen thousand,
and that of the Russians ten thous- J
and.
At Borodino, on the 7th September, was
fought a desperate battle between the Russians
and the French. The French loss in
killed, and wounded and prisoners, fifty thou
sand; and the Russians about the same number.
The survivors of the French army, from
the Russian campaign, were not more than
thirty-five thousand out^ of an army of five
hundred thousand men.
At Lutzen, in Russian Saxony, on the 2d
May, 1813, the allied Russian and Prussian 1
forces were defeated by the French under
Napoleon, the French losing eighteen thousand,
and the allies fifteen thousand men.
At Bautzen, in Saxony, on the 21st and
22d of May, 1813, a battle took place between
the allies and the French, in which
the French loss was put down at twenty-five
thousand, and that of the allies fifteen thousand.
At Dresden, in Saxony, on the 26th and
27th of August, 1815, the allies were defeated
by the French. The loss of the allies
was about twenty-five thousand in killed,
wounded and prisoners, and that of the
French about twelve thousand.
At Leipsic, in Saxony, in October, 1813 a j
desperate battle was fought, which lasted
three days, and the French were totally defeated
by the allies. Napoleon lost two marshals,
twenty generals and sixty thousand
men. The allies lost one thousand seven hundred
and ninety officers and about forty thousand
men.
At Vitoria, in Spain, on the 21st of June,
1813, the English and French fought a battle,
in which the French lost seven thousand
and the English five thousand one hundred
and eighty men.
At Tolouse, in France, Wellington defeated
the French under Soult, on the 10th of
April, 1814. The French loss was four i
thousand seven hundred; allied army's loss
four thousand five hundred and eighty men. ,
At Ligny, in France, a battle occurred between
the Prussians and French on the 16th
June, 1815, two days before the battle of
Waterloo, in which the -Prussians lost fifteen
thousand men, and the French six thousand
eight hundred.
In the indecisive battle at Quatre Bras,
in Belgium, on the 17th of June, the day
before tbat of Waterloo, the allies lost five
thousand two hundred men, and the French
one hundred and fourteen.
At Waterloo the total loss of the allien was
sixteen thousand six hundred and thirty-six
men. Napoleon's was about forty thousand.
N either the Austrians nor the Prussians '
can derive much encouragement from history
to engage in a war with France. The
French troops have only been matched in
these wars by the English and the Russians
?scarcely by the last named.
THE WAY THE MONEY GOES.
We saw yesterday, says the Philadelphia
North American, a cradle costing four hundred
dollars. The article was made of papier
mache, inlaid with peral, and gotton up
with a degree of elaborateness exceeding
any thing of the kind that was ever presented
to our observation. The article is for 1
Rale, thnnch whether it will be advertised or !
not remains to be seen. That four hundred i
dollar cradle, we take it, will play the mischief
in its way. A rush will be created to
see it and every mother in the crowd will
desire just such a cradle for her boy ''William
Augustus Fitsclarence." In a good
many instances, "William Augustas Fitsclarence'
will be gratified. Ma will get the
cradle aforesaid; Pa will pay for it. In about ;
six months afterwards, Pa will discover that
his cash account runs short. To cure 'shorts'
Pa will try his hands at a little forgery, and
draw a sixty days' note on his friend Sparkle,
who gives those 'splendid suppers.'?
Just before note comes due, Sparkle sees
document and pronounces it a forgery, Sparkle
calls on Pa, and asks 'what it all means ?'
Pa says he will explain it in the morning.
Morning comes and Pa don't come down to i
breakfast; Ma says, 'that's queer. Chsrubina,
go up and see what Pa is doing.' C'heru
bina obeys orders and finds what Pa is doing 1
?hanging to bed cord from a garret rafter, <
Cherubina rushes down stairs and tells Ma. <
Ma falls and kills poodle. The servants 1
take the alarm, cry fire, and throw parlor ]
mirrors into the back yard. Noise alarms
policemen. Policemen rush in and after
applying burnt feathers to Ma's nose, rush
up stairs and cut down Pa with a jack-knife,
containing two broken blades. The Coroner
comes and sits upon Pa. Verdict 'death
by hemp.' Funeral next day?Ma so much
smothered in black crape that she might pass
for a thunder cloud, especially when she
weeps. Pa is carried Tto Laurel Hill and
'run into the ground.' Ma becomes 'brokenhearted,'
and opens a boarding house for the
sale of two marriageable daughters. Ma
drags out a miserable existence, and declares
herself the victim of inexorable fate.'
In all this Ma makes an immense mis- 1
take. Instead of being the victim of fate,
she is the victim of a four hundred dollar
cradle. Other Mas see this, and yet they
follow the same direction, and end their career
in the same manner. Fools will not be
learned wisdom from the misfortunes of oth
ers. Une-half our bankruptcies are caused v
by our four hundred dollar cradles and simi- i
lar gimcracks, bought by empty-headed 1
women to excite envy in the bosoms of a f
score or two of empty-headed acquaintances, c

4^* A table inserted in a paper in the \
Assurance Magazine exhibits results of a ^
rather startling character. In the first two ?
quinquennial periods, 20-25 and 25-30,
the probability of a widower marrying in a
year is three times as great as that of a bachelor
; at 30, it is nearly four times as great; 1
from 30 to 45, it is five times as great; and
it. increases, until at 60 the chance of a wid- d
Dwor marrying in a year is eleven times as t:
great as that of the baohelor. It is curious ^
;o remark, from this table, how confirmed a
;ither class becomes in its condition of life c
?how little likely, after a few years, is a I
Dachelor to break through his settled habits ?
md solitary condition; and, on the other
band, how readily in proportion does a husband
contract a second marriage who has
been deprived prematurely of the first partner.
After the age of 30, the probability of
\ bachelor marrying in a year diminishes in
i most rapid ratio. The probability at 35
Is not much more than half that at 30, and
nearly the same proportion exists between
sach quinquennial periods afterwards.

Amm m sauss,
Viz: That Prof. Wood's Hair Bestorative
Will preserve infallibly the growth and color of
the hair, if used two or three times a week, to any imaginable
age. Perfectly, restore the gray, cover the bald with
nature's own ornament, the hair; moke it more soft and
beautlfhl than any oil, and preserve the scalp free from aU
disease to tho greatest age. Statesmen, Judges, Attorneys,
Doctors, Clergymen, Professional men and Gentlemen and
Ladies of all classes, all over the world, bear testimony that
we do not say too much la Its favor. Reud the following,
and judge:
hickory grove, 8t Charles Co., Mo., Nov. 19,1857.
Prof. O. J. Wood?Dear Sir: Some time last summer
we were induced to use some of your Hair Restorative, and
its effects were so wonderful, we feel it our duty to you and
the' afflicted, to report It.
Our little son's head for some time had been perfectly covered
with sores, and some called it scald head. The hair almost
entirely came off in consequence, when a friend, seeing
his sufferings, advised us to uso your RestoraUve, wo did
so with little hope of success, but to our surprise, and that of
all our friends, a very few applications removed the disease
entirely, and a new and luxuriant crop of hair soon started
vuv, uuu nc vou uu<t oaj uwuiu iK)/ uiu a ncaiuiy a scaip
and as luxuriant a crop of lialr as any other child. We can,
therefore, and do hereby, recommend your Restorative, as a
perfect remedy for all diseases of the scalp and hair. We
are yours respectfully,
Geo. W. Hiooinbotham, Sarah A. Hiooixbotham.
Pro. Wood?Dear Sir: My hair had for several years,
been becoming prematurely gray, accompanied by a harshness
which rendered the constant application of oil necessary
in dressing it. 'When I commenced using your Hair Restorer
about two month ago it was in that condition -, and
having continued its use till within tho last three weeks, it
has turned to Its natural color, and assumed a softness and
lustre greatly to be preferred to those produced by tho application
of oils or any other preparation I have ever used. I
regard it as an indispensable article for every lady's toilet,
whether to be used as a Hair Restorative or for the simple
purpose of dressing or beautifying the hair. You have permission
to refer to me all who entertain any doubt pf its performing
all that is claimed for it.
MBS. C. 8YMONDS,
Cincinnati, O., Feb, 10,1857. 114 Third st.
Wellington, Mo., Dec, 5,1857.
prof, wood?Dear Sir: b% the advice of a friend of
mine, who had been using your Hair Restorative, I was induced
to try it. I had the fever, some time last May, and
nearly every hair in my head came out Now my hair has
come in a great deal thicker than ever it was. Nothing but
a duty and sympathy that I feel to communicate to others ,
who are afflicted as I have been, would induce me to give
this public acknowledgement of the benefit I have received
from Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative.
Yours Respectfully, A. R. JACOBS.
The Restorative is put up in bottles of 3 sizes, viz: large
medium and small; the small holds i a pint and retails for
one dollar per bottle; the medium holds at least twenty per
cent, more in proportion than the small, retails for two dollars
per bottle; the large holds a quart, 40 per cent more in
proportion' and retails for 93 a bottle.
