'About Fish and Fishln
. Fishing is like poeiry, a ratn'must be
borne to it," said honest and enthusiastic
Isaac Walton, and there is undoubtedly an
almost irresistable facination exercised by
it over its votaries, 'which, to believers in
Dr. Johnson, with his worm atone end and
Tool at. the other, is both incomprehensible
and rediculcus. Still, notwithstanding the
dictum of the ursine philosopher, the popu
larity of the "gentle craft" is unquestiona
ble. No license is required to follow it.
A 'Tew cbiTlirigs will procur all needful ap-
pliancea for its lower branches. The urchin
rejoices in a piece of twine and a crooked
pin ; it gives semblance to occupation with
out labor, it leads ita disciples into fresh
air, and usually, pleasant scenery. Bat this
fatter luxury can of course only be enjoyed
in perfection by thote who .recline on a
grassy bank, or sit at ease surrounded by
creatnre comforts iu a punt, and is nowise
applicable to the salmon fiiher who is
forced to tear at break-neck speeJ, over
break-neck rocks or to wade breast hizh
mid-stream, reckless of cruel snags and
holes. Indeed, it ia doubtful in such canes
which has most sport ."man 'or' fish, for- as
suredly the latter is often master of ihe'situ
ation, and leads the angler hither, thither,
like a blind man by a dog. As a general
rule, however, the angler, ultimately has the
best 61 it, the fih furnishing him with fan
while living, aud food when dead. Upon
so engrossing a pursuit, . works without
number have tecft written, Walton's being
the highest in literary merit ; tut the direc
tions of that father of the craft are now voted
absolete. and his work fs only valued for
the charming pictures it conveys, especially
to those "in populous city pent," of rural
life "end scenery. , An Erry!ih work by Mr.
Pennell has gone at length into the uatural
history of h, or "irhihyology," to use the
"scientific term his object being nat merely
to enable the angler to catch them, but to
'induce them to observe their customs and
manners, and thus enlarge the boundary of
our knowledge concerning them, and be
even anticipates that by this means new
varieties may possibly be discovered in
these Islands. Even as it is, the variety is
much greater (huh ona would think. Thus
all our'readers are familiar with the roach,
but how many have come in contact with
its relation to tfie graining ? Again, the
sight, if not the taste of the salmon is within
reach of every cr-.e, yet who would "suspect
h of bsing connected with (he gwyoiad,

In the Rsadin Mercury a statement ap
peared that a lad aged 15 named Long
burst bad gone into Inglemore Pond, near
Ascot Heath, to bath, and that, when he
had walked into the depths of about four
feet, a huge fish, supposed to be a pike
suddenly rose to the surface and seized bis
arm. Finding him9l! retisled, however,
he abandoned it, tut still followed, and
caught hold of the other band,' which he
bit very fceverely. The lad clenching the
hand which had been first bitten, struck bis
assailant a heavy blow on the "head, wjien
the fish iwam away. W. Bar'r Browd, Esq.,
surgeon, dressed ven wburids, two o
which were very deep, and which pled
profusely. 1 wrote to this gentleman . who
very, politely obtained and sent this day,
Sept. 18, 1857, the whole account, in writ
ing, Irom the young man's lather (George
Looghurst, of Sunning Hill,; which I - give
as 1 received it : MParticulara of an - en
counter with a fish :n the, month of Jane,
1S56. One of my eons, aged 15, went
with three other boys to bathe in Ingle
mener Pond, near Ascot racecourse ; he
wallied gently into the water to the depth
ot about four feet, when he spread out. his
bands to attempt to ewim, instantly a large
fi.b came op and. .took bis hand into his
mouth as fat as the wrist, . but, finding he
could act awillow it relinquished his hold,
and the boy turning round, prepared lor a
hasty retreat out df ihe pfrid aa fast as pos
sible. My son bad scarcely turne'd hi mself
round when the fishcarrte np behind .him
an2 Immediately seiied hi other and,
cro'&awise, iofiicliDg very deep wonndi
oa the back of it i the boy raised his - firat
bitten and eU!l bleedin's artaand struck the
1 monster bard blo"r on (he tsad, when the
fish disappeared. The other boys ' assisted
him to dress, bound up his band with . their
handkerchiefs, and bronchi him home. We
took him down to -Mr. Brown, surgeon, who
dressed seven wounds in one hand, and so
great was the' pain the next day, that the
lad fainted twice, ihe little finger wan bitten
through' the nail, and it was more than six
weeks befor it'was'well, the nail came off.
and the scar remains jo this day. . A few
days alteMhis occurrence, one of the wood
men was walking by the side of the , pond ,
when he saw something white floating. A
man 'who was passing on horseback, rode
in and found it.to be a large pike in a dying
state ; be twisted bis whip round it and
brought it to shore. Myself and my eon
were immediately sent for to look at it,
t when the bov at once recognized
his an
f "
tagonist. The .flesh appeared to have been
a long time in the agonies of death ; and
the body was very lean, and curved like a
bow.' It measured 41 inches, aud died the
next day, and I believe, was taken to the
castle at Windsor. There can be no doubt,
Mr. -Wright adds, that this fish was in a
state of starvation. If well-fed, it is prob
able it might have weighed from thirty to
forly pounds.
Change in' Color of tbe fliir.
- The changes produced by the disturban
ces of the heart npon the cutaneous capil
laries,' are illustrated in a remarkable man
ner in persons wlftre the hair or the head
has suddenly become white from a disturb
ance in the heart, caused by violent mental
excitement A lady who was' deeply griev
ed oo receiving ho intelligence of a grat
change in ber worldly condition, and who
had a very remarkable quantity of dark
hair, found on the following morning
the whole of the hair had become of a
silver white. Some striking instances of
this kind are narrated by historians. "1
was struck," says Madame Campa, "with
the astonishing . change misfortune had
wrought upon Marie Antoinette's features,
her whole head of hair had turned almost
white during her transit from Varennes to
Paris." The Duche.s of Luxembourg.
when caught making ber escape during the
terrors of the French Revolution, and pul in
prison, the next morning it was observed
that her hair had become wbile. A Span
ish officer, distinguiahed for his bravery,
was in the Duke ot Alva's camp. At mid
night, the Provost-Marshal, accompanied
by his guard and a confesor, awoke him
from his sleep, informing. him that, by or
der of the Viceroy, be was to be immedi
ately executed, and hai! only a quarter of
an hour left to make bis peace with Heav
en. After he had confessed, he said that he
was prepared for death, but declared his in
nocenee. The Provost Marshal at this mo
ment burst into a fit oi laughter, in J told
him that they merely wanted to try his
courage. Placing his hand upon his heart, i
and with a jhasily paleness, he ordered the
Provost out of his tent, 'observing that he
had "done him an evil office and the
next morning, to the wonder of the whole
army, the hair of his bead, from having
been of a deep black color, had become
perfectly white.
VbR Sew Apportionment.
The Bill to apportion the S:ate into Sen
atorial and Bpresentative Districts, has fi
nally passed the Legislature, as a strict party
measure, in the shape indicated by the an
nexed table.- It is, perhaps, one of the
most infamous "Gerrymanders? that ever
disgraced partisan legislation. Its framers
appear to have disregarded entirely the on
ly fair basis of all apportionments taxable
population and separate representation by
a I counties having the requisite ratio and
to have devoted thernselves exclusively to
the task of districting the Stele a such a
manner as to defeat the will of the majori
ty 'of the people and secure the return of
the largest number of Abolition Senators
and Members. A glaring example of the
manner in which Democratic majorities
have been disfranchised, is found in the
making np of the Mh Senatorial District.
The strong Democratic connty of Montgom
ery is joined to the Abolition counties of
Chester and Delaware, to form a double
District, with two Senators ; which is in ef
fect wiping oat Montgomery entirely, and
giving both to Chester and Delaware'..
This District has an aggregate of 4 1 ,653
taxsbles ; and Lancaster county, with only
27,310 taxables, is also allowed two Sena
tors. The gross injustice done to Montgom
ery will be apparent when we state tSat she
has 18,08 taxables enough to entitle be:
to a separate Senatorial representation
while Bucks,, with only 15,833 taxables, is
allowed to retain her Senator. The unfair
ness of this bill is even more apparent, in
the apportionment .of Representatives.
Montgomery loses one member; Washing
ton, "with a sufficient population id entitle
her alone to two Representatives, is joinad
to the strong Abolition County of Beaver,
and made a district with three members,
which Beaver will of course elect. Phila
delphia and Allegheny gain a member;
Lancaster, with two Senators, is allowed, to
retain heror Representatives and four are
given to the Abolition counties of Law
rence, Mercer and Butler, united in oncj Dis
trict: The Inequalities of the bill are too
many and great to particularise. But, great
as they are, there is some comfort in the
recollection that ths re never yet was an at
tempt to defeat the will oi the people by a
legislative "Gerrymander" that did not com
pletely fail of its jobject. Tbe. party that
was guilty of the fraud of apportioning the
Siate expressly with a view to the perpetu
ation of its power, has iavartably been left
in ther minority. So may it be in the pres
ent case ! Reading Gazette.

Languages. Tbe least learned are aware
that there are manv languages in the world,
but the actual number is probably lar be
yond the dream of ordinary people. The
geographer, Balbl, enumerates eight hun
dred and sixty which are entitled to be con
sidered as distinct languages,and five thous
and which 'may be regarded as dialects.
Adelung, another modern writer on this
subject, reckons up 3064 languages and di
alects existing, and which have existed.
Eveu after we have allowed either of these
as the number of languages .we most ac
knowledge the existence of almost infinite
minor diversities; for, in almost every coun
try, we see that every province has a tbegue
more or less peculinr, and this we may well
believe to be the case throughout the world
at large.- It is said there are little islands,
lying close together, in the Sooth Sea, the
inhabitants of, which do not understand
each other. Of the 8C0 distinct languages
enumerated by Baibi, 53 belong to Europe
114 to Africa, 153 to Asia, 523 to America,
and 117 to Oceanica by which term he dis
tinguishes .the vast number of islands
stretching between Hindostan and South
America. ' '
Tbe Louisville (Ky.) Journal says that
Andy Johnson, Military tiovernor of Ten

"is a curse to that State and a curse to the

Tlie Hammer
The hammer is the universal emblem of
mechanics. .With it are alike forged the
sword of contention and the plongh share
of peaceful agriculture the press of the
free, and the ehactles of the slave. The
eloquence of the forum has moved the ar
mies of Greece and Rome, to a thousand
battle fields ; but the eloquence of the ham
mer has covered those fields without victory
or defeat. . The inspiration of song has
kindled h'gh and noble aspirations in the
bosoms of brave knights and gentle dames )
but the inspiration of the hammer has
strewn the field with tattered helmet and
shield, decided not only the fate of chival
ric combat, butlhe fate of thrones, towns,
and kingdoms. Ths forging of the thunder
bolt was ascribed by the Greeks as the
highest act of Jove's omnipotence, and
their mythology beautifully ascribes to one
of their god the task of presiding at the
labors of the forge. In ancient warfare, the
hammer was a powerful weapon, indepen
dent of the blade which it formed. ' Many
a stout skull was broken through Ihe cap
and helmet by the blow of Vulcan's .weap-
'on. i lie armies ot the ereacent would have
subdued Europe to the sway of Mahomet ;
but 9b the plains of France their progress
was arrested, and the brave and simple
warrior who saved Christendom from the
sway ol the Musselman, was Muriel 'the
hammT.' The hammer, the savior and lhe
bulwark of Christendom ! Tha hammer is
the wealth of nations. By it are forged
the ponderous engine and the tiny needle,
ft is an instrument of the savage and civil
ized. Its merry clinks point out the abode
of industry. It is a domeotis deity, presid
ing over the grandeur of the mon wealthy
and ambitious, as the mom humble and im
poverished. Not a stick is shaped, not a
house is raised, a ship floats, a carriage
rolls, a wheel tpinnst an engine moves, a
prers tqueaks, a viol sings, a spade delves,
or a flag waves without the hummer. With
out tbe hammer, civilization would be un
known, and the human species be only as
defenceless brutes ; bui in skillful bands,
directed by wisdom, it is an .instrument of
power, of greatness, and true glory.
The Adminislratioh Sentiment.
There can be no doubt at thisday that the
Administration and ruling party, il continu
ed in power aud successful in crushing the
rebellion, nfediate an entire change ot the
fundamental principles of the Government
as ordained by - our present Constitution.
Their idea is centralization, with Presiden
tial and Congressional power over the
States in all their relations. The policy of
the President, as explained in his various
proclamations, and all the acts of Congress
of a general character, clearly enough indi
cate :his. It is time, therelore, (or the peo
ple to consider well, between this , and the
next Presidential election, whether thc de
sire such a change whether any new and
more powerful Government, formed by the
present ruling parly, under the excitement
and fanaticism of the present time, would
o ! bo likely to conduce more o their personal
freedom and substantial interests and hap
piness, than the old CoiiMitutionil Govern
mer.t nuder which they enjoed every)
privilege and blessing freedom, political
and religious, and prosperity such as no
other people ever knew.
Few people, comparilively,hav9 thought
enough on tais subject. . It is a serious one,
and comes home dirtfetly to the "business
and bosom" of every man. Ii is not a light
matter, even in times cf profound peace,
when the public mind is calm, to add an
article to a Conatiiu'ion or change any of
its features, even when by such change
or addition no alteration of any , of
its principles is contemplated ; and certain
ly, if this is so, it must be a very grave mat
ter to undertake a thorough change of the
form and principles of the Government
when military power predominates, and
the minds of men are more or less swayed
by the passions and prejudices cf the
day. , ,
t Theqoeslian is one which we submit to
the people of all parties for profound medi tation.
There is none of vaster importance
before them now, or ever was, or ever can
be and if it do hot awake them new to
thoughtfulues and eventually to action, the
time will have arrived to "despair of the
Republic."
Out EOoa etiquette. A gentleman meet
ing a lady should a!was take the right of
the walk.
A gentleman meeting another should al
ways pass to the right. ,-,..
A lady, as a general rule, should net take
a gentleman's arm in the street in the day
lime.
However, it is not improper when the
walk is thronged with passengers.
A gentleman meeting or passing a gentle
man and lady should pass ou the gentle
man's side.
. A Gentleman should never fail to salute
a lady ot bis acquaintance when within a
proper distance, unless she wears a veil, in
which case it would be highly uncivil
to recognize her.
A Vermont editor says that be is award
that his language is strong. We have ob
served that be never makes his word so
strong but that be can break it withenu the
least difficulty. -
Almost every young lady is public spirit
ed enough to be willing to have bet father's

manship finds no place among the Republi

Among tbem all, where is one t bat , in any

plain truth is that, the storm of folly and
fanaticism that has swept over the land has
brought to the surface of political society
all the dregs and scum it holds, while all
that is good and valuable in it is hid from
sisht. Wire-pullers, intriguing .dema

and appliauces which honest, honorable,
highminded, oapable man would stoop or
resort to. Profound statesmanship, a knowl
edge of political science, the true principles
cf government, are not now considered, or
treated, as of the least consequence in the
choice of men fo( places of hig'a trust. And
men possessing thesa requisites find no
chance for success in the ..dominant party.
Indeed, ignorance of all thase, combined
with a blind devoted zeal to party, are the
seeming requisite qualifications.
Who, twenty years ago vould have be
lieved that the halls of Congress would each
be filled wlili men who would fritter .away
the precious hours ol tha nation, as hue the

looked upon ai an monstrous impossibility.
In the presort Republican majority in
Congress where is one that comprehends
the real danger of the tirno and works wi;h
an eve single to the salvation and clorv of
our common country ! All are impelled by
madness or fanaticism, or wording only for
plunder, and the perpetuity cf their party.
And does eveii the President himself
compare favorably with the weakest of his
predecessor? lias he in any , one thing
shown himself equal to the occasion ? Or,
has he on all occasions been weak, uncer
tain, vacillating. Read the speeches be has
made since his nomination' and say if,
among them all, there be one that dees
honor to the head of a great nation. Do
not all excite our shame or disgust The
nation is to'tering upon the very brink of
destruction, and men who see and feel the
greatness of ho peril appeal to this Presi
dent with an earnestness that is burn of
patriotism, to adhere to the principles ,lhat
he has himself again and sgain declared to
be the only ones upon which the nationcan
be saved. And this man who occupies the
place filled by Washington, Jefferson and
Jackson, answers thee earnest appeals,
these heartfelt prayers, with a stale joke or
a smutty anecdo:e. While the Repub ican
parly applaud to the very echo, and call this
buffoon a second Washington, and almost
a real Solomon. '
Rioioi's Act Quite a demonstration was
made by some villainous rowdies on the
little "red frame housa" located on the
"Cinder tip," on Wednesday night last.

very zea!ou!y. . It ia not so much the ab

the pernicious effects accruing from the
contrary practice. Looseness oi diction at

a similar falling away from rule and ele

DriNe Dyiso. Senator Doolittle said in
Cougres the other day : "Slavery, Mr.
President, is dying, dying, all around us."
To this the Dayton (O ) Empire says :
"Yes : And Constitutional liberty, is dy-
ing ; morality n public and private, is dy ing,
all. thai we have prized, of peace, cf . social
order, cf neighborly kindnasi, of friendly
intercourse in society i dying. And dying,
too, by hundreds of thousands, are v the
brothers, fathers, eons ct t,he most frenzied
deluded, and miserable people. Why did
not Mr. Doolillle tell i; all, while he was
about it!" , .
Tun New Nation says "the older Eiair
was a. bosom friend of old Bob Todd, of
Kentucky, the father of Mrs. Lincoln," and
this accounts for his influence over the
President. Only think oi lhe impudence of
lhe radicals in s'peaking ol the father of
Mrs. President Lincoln as "old Fob Todd!''
They might say "Robert" at least.

ple who have been bolstered up and levered
alone ail their lives are seldom good for
anything in a crisis. When misfortune
comes, they look around for somebody to
cling to or lean upon. Ii the prop is not
there, down they go. Once down, they are
as helpless as capsized turtles, or unboned
men in armor, and caa never find their feet
again without assistance. Such silken fel

to deprive young men of tbe advantages

One of the best lessons that a lather can
give to a son is this : "Work, strengthen
your mural and mental faculties, as- yoo
would strengthen your muscles, by vigorous
exercise. Learn to conquer circumstances,
you are then independent- of fortune.'
The rnen of athlstic minds , who have left
their marks on the years in which they
lived, were all trained in a rccgh school.
They did not mount. to their high positions
by the help of leverage ; they leaped the

could never have been attrined.,
Orestes A. Brown son, in the April Dam
be r of his Review, advises, the- Democratic
party to "put up a wrt Democrat,- whn is
willing to let slavery die," for the ..Presi
dency ; which advice tbe World quotes ap
provingly. Mr. Brownson is the most, in
tolerant and revolutionary of the Black .and,
Red Abolitionists, ind is only a toctrinarie9
without being a statesman, or even
politician. The World may think .each ad
vice particularly valuable to the Democrat
ic party no Democrat wi'l think so.- The
Au Nation, Fremont's organ, also advises
the Democratic party to the same efecL
It says : . t
"If the Democratic party had sufficient
intelligence and patriotism to ' brake away
entirely from slavery, it certainly possesses
instincts that arc really more liberal than
tha Republican party."
?.y breaking atciy frcr.i "slavery" is meaaf
breaking away from ths Contftfud'on. Th
Democratic parly has nothing to do espe
citlly with "slavery," any more than it has
to do with church property aa a party
measure. Whatever the guarantees ol the
Constitution are on any subject, the .Demo
cratic party adheres te, because it is for tbw
Constitution its it is. The proposition tcf
Brownscn's Review, endorsed by tha World,
simply amounts te an abandonment cf. tha
Constitution. - Wcrse than that it is a
proportion for cn half cf t'oa Slates to sUal
or destroy, the property of tthe other half.
The Constitution binds us all to defend the
rigU cf property in every portion of our
common country in the South and in tha
North- This war was brought about by the
formation oi a northern party to destroy
the property ol the Souih. This rarty was
conce ivedin the ibeft,. aad lives, moves,
and has its being in war and murder..
The end of the war will be lhe end of the
party, and, thank the good God, the end,
aliio, of all who supported its thieving era
sade. The Demccratio party will net fel
low ih lead ot Pr. Brownson, Fremont, oi
the New York World, into that Abotition
trap. It would longer be' a Democratic
pary if it did. Even if the delegates tathe
next Presidential Convention were all to
doert.the party, and go over to the Abolir
tior.ists, ihey could not take the Democracy
along with them. . And there weald be a
new Convention within a month of the date
of the deenion, of men ho will . not de

hold it aloft ic the coming campaign with
