THE PIC NIC.
If sick of home and luxuries,
Y ou want anew sensation,
And sigh for the unwonted ease
Os unacconunodation, —
If you would taste, as amateur,
A vagabond beginner,
The painted pleasures of the poor,
Get up a Pic-nic dinner.
Presto ! ’tis done—away you start,
All frolic, fun and laughter,
The servants and provision cart
As gaiily trotting after.
The spot is reach’d, when all exclaim
With many a joyous attic,
“How sweet a scene I —l’m glad we came !
llow rural—how romantic !"
Pity the night was wet! —but what
Care gipsies and carousers?
So down upon the swamp you squat
In porous Nankeen trousers.—
Stick to what sticks to yitu—your scat,
Eor thistles round you huddle,
While nettles threaten legs and feet,
If shifted from a puddle.
Half starved with hunger—parch'd with
thirst,
Ail haste to spread the dishes,
When lo! tis found, the ale lias burst
Amid the loaves and fishes.
Over the pie, a sodden sop,
The grasshoppers are skipping,
Each roll's a sponge, each loaf a mop,
All the meat is dripping.
Bristling with broken glass, you find
Some cakes among the bottles,
Licit those may eat who do not mind
Excoriated throttles.
The biscuits now are wiped and dried,
When squalling voices utter,
“ Look ! look ! a toad lias got astride
Our only pat of butter ! "
Your solids in a liquid state.
Your cooling liquids heated,
And every promised joy by fate
Most fatally defeated;
All, save the serving men are sour and,
Titnj smirk, the cunning sinners !
Having, before they came, devour'd
Must comfortable dinners !
Still you assume, in very spite,
A grim and gloomy gladness,
Pretend to laugh—aii’ect delight—
And scorn all show of sadness.
While thus you smile, but storm within,
A storm witiiout comes faster,
And down descends with deaf’ning din
A deluge of disaster.
’Tis saiirc qui /irut the fruit dessert
Is fruitlessly deserted,
And homeward now you all revert,
Dull, desolate, and dirtied,
Eacii gruffly grumbling, ns he .eyes
His soaked and sullen brother,
“ If these are Pic-nic pleasantries,
Preserve me from another!’’

FIGHT WITH A LION.
In the month of July, I KM, two fine
Lions made their appearance in a jungle
some 20 miles distant from the cantonment
of Rajcotc, in the East Indies, where Capt. ■
Woodhouse, and his two friends, Lts. 1 )<■!-
amain and Lang, were stationed. An
elephant was despatched to the place in
the evening on which the information ar
rived; and on the morrow, at the break of
day., the three gentlemen set off 011 horse-j
back, full of glee, and elated with the hope 1
of a speedy engagement. On arriving at
the edge of the jungle, people were ordered
to ascend the neighboring trees, that they
might be able to trace the route of the li
ons in case they left the cover. After
beating about in the jungle for some time, (
the hunters started the two. lordly stran- 1
gers. The officers fired immediately, and
one of the lions fell to rise no more. His
companion broke cover, and took off
across the country. The officers now
pursued him on horseback as fast as the.
j nature of the ground would allow, until
itiiey learned from the men who were sta
tioned in the streets, and who held up
' tlags by way of signal, that the lion had
I gone back into the thicket. Upon tins
: the three officers returned to the edge of,
the jungle, and having dismounted from
j their horses, they got upon the elephant;
! Capt. Woodhouse placing himself in the
j hindermost scat. —They now proceeded
! towards the heart of the jungle, in expect
j ntion of rousing the royal fugitive a sec
! ond time. They found him standing 1111-
jder a large bush, with his face directly
towards them. The lion allowed them to
approach w ithin range of his spring, and
then he made a sudden dart at the elephant
citing on to his trunk with a tremendous
roar, and wounded him just above the
eye. While he was in the act of doing
this, the two lieutenants fired at him, but
j without success. The elephant now shook
him off’; but the fierce and sudden attack |
on the part of the lion seemed to have
thrown him into the greatest conster
nation. This was the first time he had
ever come in contact with so formidable
an animal; and much exertion was used be
fore his riders succeeded in urging him on
again in quest of the lion. At last he be
came somewhat more tractable; but as he
was advancing through the jungle, all of a
sudden the lion, which had lain concealed
in the high grass, made at him with "hi
doubled fury. 1 lie olheers now lost all |
hopes of keeping their elephant in order, j
He turned round abruptly, and was going I
away quite ungovernable, when the lion •
again sprang at him, seized his hinder 1
parts with his teeth, and hung on them till
the affrighted animal managed to shake
him oft' by incessant kicking. ~
The lion retreated farther into the
thicket; Capt. Woodhouse in the mean
time firing a random shot at him, which j
proved of no avail, as the jolting of the
elephant and the uproar of the moment
prevented him from taking a steady aim.
No exertions on the part of the officers
could now force the terrified elephant to ]
face his fierce foe, and they found them- j
selves reduced to the necessity ofdismount- j
ing. Determined, however, to come to I
still closer quarters with the formidable
king of quadrupeds, Capt. Woodhouse i
took the desperate resolution to proceed j
on foot in quest of him, and after search
ing about for some time, he observed the'
lion indistinctly through the hushes, and
discharged his ride at him, hut he was j
pretty well convinced that lie had not hit j
him, for he saw the lion retire with the
utmost composure into the thicker parts j
ol the brake. The two lieutenants, who j
remained at the outside of the jungle, join- j
ed their companion on hearing the report
of his gun.
The weather was intolerably sultry. !
After vainly spending a considerable time
in creeping through the grass and bushes, I
with the hope of • discovering the place ofl
the lion’s retreat, they concluded that lie j
had passed quite through the jungle, and j
gone off in an opposite direction. Re-j
solved not to let their game escape, the ;
Imulentmte returned to tbo eLq.Uunt, utwl .
immediately proceeded round the jungle,
expecting to discover the route which
they conjectured the lion had taken.
Captain Woodhouse, however, remained
in the thicket: and as lie could discern
the print of the animal’s feet on t lie ground,
he boldly resolved to follow up the
at all hazards. The Indian gamefinder,
who continued with his commander, at
Inst espied the lion in the cover, and point
ed him out to the captain, who fired, but
unfortunately missed his mark. There
was now no alternative left hut to retreat
and load his rille. Having retired to a
distance, he was joined by Lieutenant Del
amain, who had dismounted from his ele
phant on hearing the report of the gun.
This unexpected meeting increased the
captain’s hopes of ultimate success. lie
lost no time in pointing out to (lie lieuten
ant the place where he would probably
find the lion, and said lie would he up
with him in a moment or two.
Lieutenant Delnmaiu, on going eight
or ten paces down a sheep track, got a
sight of the lion, and instantly discharged
his rille at him.
This irritated the mighty lord of the
woods, and he rushed towards him, break
ing through the bushes (to use the cap
tain’s own words) ‘in a most magnificent
style.’ Capt. Woodhouse now found him
self placed in an awkward situation. He
was aware that if he retraced his steps in
order to put himself in a better position for
attack, he would just tret to tlie point from
which the lieutenant had fired, and to
which the lion was making, wherefore he
instantly resolved to stand still, in the
hopes that the lion would pass by, at a
distance of lour yards or so, without per
ceiving him, as the intervening cover was
thick and strong. In this however, lie
was most unfortunately deceived; for the
enraged lion saw him in passing, and flew
at hitn with a dreadfnl roar. In an instant,
as though it had been done by a stroke of
lightning, the rifie was broken and
thrown out of the captain’s band, his left
arm at the same moment being seized by
the claws, and his right by the teeth, of his
desperate antagonist. While these two
brave and sturdy combatants, ‘ whose
courage none could stain,’ were yet stand
itjg.iu mortal conflict, Lieutenant DHa
makt ran up, and discharged his piece full
at the lion. This caused the lion and
the captain to come to the ground to
gether, while Lieutenant Delamain has
tened out of the jungle to reload his gun. —
The lion now began to crannch the cap
tain’s arm, but as the brave fellow, not
withstanding the pain which this horrid
process caused, had the cool determined
resolution to lie still, the lordly savage let
the arm drop out of his mouth, and quiet
ly placed himself in a couching position,
with both paws upon the thighs of his
fallen foe. \\ hile things were in this un
toward situation, the captain unthinking
ly raised his hand to support his head,
which bad got placed ill at case in the fall. |
No sooner, however, had he moved it,
than the lion seized the lacerated arm a
second time, craunched it as before, and '
fractured the hone still higher up. This !
additional iiumento ruirri from the lion was
not ost upon Captain Woodhouse; it im
mediately put him in mind that lie had
conniitted an act of imprudence in stir
ring, The motionless state in which he
perstvered after this broad hint, showed
that he had learned to profit by the pain
ful lesson.
IL now lay bleeding and disabled under
the Lo: of a mighty and irritated enemy.
Death was close upon him, armed with
ever; terror calculated to appal the heart
qf a rrostrate and defenceless man. Just
as tlis world, with all its (lilting honors,!
wits *n the point of vanishing forever, he.
hear! tao faint reports of a gun, which he !
though: sounded from a distance; but lie
was totally at a loss to account for them.
He learned, after the affair was over, that j
the reports were caused by his friend at the 1
outside of the jungle, who had (lashed off
some puwder in order to be sure that the
nipples of his rille were clean.
The two Lieutenants were now hasten
ing t< his assistance, and he heard the
welcome sound of feet approaching: hut 1
unfortunately, they were in a wrong di
rection, as tin: lion was betwixt them and
Inn. Aware that if his friends fired, the
halls would hit him, after they passed
through the lion's body, Captain Wood
hoise quietly pronounced, in a low and
sulducd tone, ‘to the other side! to the
other side!' Hearing the voice, they look
ed u the direction from whence it pro-
J cooled, and to their horror saw their
j brave companion in his utmost need
Having made a circuit, they cautiously
cane up on the other side, and Lieut.
Ddamuin, whose coolness in encounters
will wild beasts had always been conspic
uous, from a distance of about a dozen
i yalds, fired at the lion over the person of
the prostrate warrior.
1 Viie lion merely quivered: his head
j drooped upon the ground, and in an in
stant he lay dead on his side, close to his
intended victim.
Galvanic Experiment.— The Louis
vilh Journal mentions some striking ex
periments which were made at the medical
insttute in that city upon the body of
Mkheal Shrimp,who was executed recent
ly fir murder. The execution took place'
at tni o’clock in the morning, and the'
body of the criminal, still warm, was re-j
movid to the institute. The nerves ex-1
posel (as we learn from an experienced'
siirgmn, for we know very little of these
things ourselves,) were the phrenic, the
por'io dura, and the supra arbitar —the
diadiragtn and spinal cord in the neck
wete also laid bare, and incisions were
made in tlie upper and lower extremities.
1?\ tpplying the positive polo of the batte
ry—l powerful instrument excited by
(lilut?d nitric acid—to the spinal cord or
the phrenic nerve, and the negative pole
to tie diaphragm both in contact with a
tin foil, all the muscles of respiration
were thrown into prompt and vigorous ac
tion, producing the appearance of a vio
lent effort to breathe. The neck was
bent,and the head partly raised from the
table—and the arms were quickly thrown
up, md the chest at the same time heav
ing md sinking; the subject seemed to
cottdi, and the lustre of the living eye, to
render the illusion complete.
Tie negative pole of the instrument
toticttmg the nerve of the great toe, while;
the positive pole was in contact withthe spi- j
nal cord, the fluid thus traversing the whole j
lcttgh of the lioily, a general tremor of the I
muscular system ensued, the arms were
elevated, and the fingers forcibly clench-j
ed; tue legs were suddenly drawn up and j
agait extended; the head shook; and the,
respiratory muscles were convulsed.
0 1 passing the galvanic fluid through j
the nerves of the face, every strong pas
sion which the human countenance can
express, was exhibited in quick succes
sion and fearful intensity. It age, indig
nation, scorn, horror, remorse, by turns
distorted the features of tlie face as the,
contact of the poles of the battery was j
broken and renewed. The subject, as lie
lav convulsed, seemed under the dominion
of a terrific dream —a prey to intense an
guish — or engaged in some desperate men
tal contest, and unable to speak.
The movements of life were mimick
ed with a truth which rendered the effort
not only striking but horrible—and the
spectator, while lie looked upon the con
tracted and agonized brow—the lip turned
as if in scorn or derision; the uplifted arm
and heaving chest: might almost have fan
cied the subject to lie in a deep disturbed
sleep, and glared upon by the ghost of
his unhappy victim. It was a study for
the painter or the tragic actor, and might
have suggested to a poet a passage as
thrilling as the ghost scene in Macbeth, in
which the murdered Bauquo rises and
“sit ikes his gory locks” at the affrighted 1
king.
Fatal Rencontre. —Letters received
in this city from Greenville state that a
rencontre took place in that village on the
Ith instant between Mr. Yancy, the friend
of Gen. Whittier, (who had been brought
out by the Sub-Treasury party in opposi
tion to Gen. Thompson,) and Dr. F.arl,
which resulted fatally for the latter. The
following is the current report of the facts.
If there is any inaccuracy in the statement
by which injustice is done to any of the
parties, we will glalv correct it.
Yancy said to a friend on the muster
ground that Thompson would have the
advantage of Whittier, as lie could black- i
guard his opponent before the people, j
and Whitncr, being a religious man, and
a member of the church would not. —This
being overheard by young Earl, a youth of
sixteen, was pronounced to he a lie. Yan
cy turned round and slapped him. Dr. Earl,
tfie father, called Yancy and asked him 1
if he had asserted that his son apologized
for what was said on the muster ground,
as had been reported.—Yancy said no,
lie had not said so. Then said the Doc
tor, my sou called yon a liar, and if you j
repeat what yon did in his hearing, I pro
nounce you a damned liar. With that
Yancy drew his pistol, and said that you
must withdraw that or I will shoot you.
The Dr. made up and grappled him by the
breast of the coat. Yancy fired and lodg
ed the ball just below the ribs—the Dr.
striking with a stick which he carried.
Yancy also struck and broke the pistol
over the Dr’s head, and then drew his
sword cane—the Dr. drew a large knife
and they grappled until they were parted,
say about two minutes, after the shot.
The Dr. then fell from his wound, of
which he died the next morning.—[Patriot.
Se~ or Wives in Texas.— A
correspondent of the New York Commer
cial Advertiser, writing from Texas under
date of ’Jotl l of July, says :
“Our Congress has passed a law, grant
ing a bonus of two thirds of a league, or
2,i)(i2 acres of good land, to every wo
man .who will marry during the present
year, any citizen of this Republic who
was such at the time of our declaration of
, independence. The consequence you may
easily imagine. Every single lady, young'
or old, good looking or ugly, has been
sought out and led to the altar; and yet
nineteen out of twenty of our bachelors
' are not only unmarried, but unengaged,
j although their ‘dispositions are the best
that can he imagined, and their efforts
corresponding.
j A few weeks since a family arrived from
j Ohio, bringing with them a young woman
as a servant. Our young men took it ve
ry much in dudgeon that so precious a
commodity should remain in a situation
so unbecoming and unprofitable, and ac
cordingly held a meeting, at which a con
siderable stun of money was raised by sub
scription, with which the young damsel
was placed as a hoarder in a respectable
! family. Then they clubbed together, and
bought a young man’s head right of 1,-
j 1-81 acres, which they presented to her as
| a dower; and this evening she was mar-
I l ied to a respectable planter, who receives
with her the 2,!)(>2 acres, in addition, from
the Government.’
HOW TO RUIN A SON.
1. Let him have his own way.
2. Allow him free use of money.
3. Suffer lirtn to go where lie pleases
on the Sabbath.
I. Give him full access to wicked com
panions.
5. Call him to no account for his even
ings.
(>. Furnish him with no stated employ
ment.
Pursue either of these ways and you
w ill experience a most marvellous deliver
ance, or will have to mourn over a debase
ed Or ruined child! Thousands have real
ized the sad result, and have gone mourn
ing to the grave.—[Philad. Observer.
Persons of some distinction are often
pestered by unknown correspondents with
applications for their autographs. Jules
Janin, who is the literary editor of the
Paris newspaper called Journal des De
bates, lately took an ingenious method of
compensating himself for the trouble giv
en by such an application. Prince Met
ternicli requested his autograph, and the
Journalist sent him the following : “I ac
knowledge the receipt from M. de Met
ternich of 20 bottles Johannisbergh, for
which 1 return infinite thanks. Jules
Janin.” The Prince in return doubled
the quantity, and sent him fifty bottles.
Singular Forgiveness. —Sir Walter
Scott, in his article in the Quarterly Re
view on the Ciillodcti papers, mentions a
characteristic instance of the old High
land warrior’s mode of pardon. “You
I must forgive even your bitterest enemy,
Kenmutr, now,” said the confessor to him,
as he lay gasping on his death-bed.—“ Well
if I must, 1 must,” replied the chieftain,
“but my curse be on yon, Donald,” turn
ing towards his son, “if you forgive him.”

Nevv-Orleans, Sept. ts.
Dreadpul Murder.— Many of oaf cit
izens will remember seeing on Thursday
morning, a neat', clean, and shipshape look
ing sailor, in the dress of theUuited States
service, and apparently over 40 years of
age. His appearance waß so remarkably
trim, and sailor like, that none who saw
could pass him unnoticed. Yesterday
morning this poor fellow was found mur
dered and mutilated in the most unheard
of manner. The name of the unfortunate
victim of unparalleled barbarism was
Charles Goodlip, said to be a native of
Missouri, and having served for nearly
01) years in the navy. From the evidence
adduced before the Recorder we gather
the following particulars of this bloody
deed. On Thursday about 4 o’clock,
Goodlip, called in at the low den kept by
Ann Jane Doyle, No. 51 Girod-street, be
tween Magazine and Tohoupitoulas-street,
and took a glass of beer, served to him by
John Johnson, who was officiating as bar
keeper. Having drank it, he quitted this
den of crime, promising to return in the
evening which he did about G o’clock,
when he drank again, and asked for sup
per, which was prepared on the order of
Mrs. Doyle, by Thomas M. Davis, and
William Smith. By the story of the former
it appears that the latter put a quantity of
laudanum in the tea given to the sailor;
w ho speedily became drowsy, and was laid
on the bed in the room by Smith and others.
So far the story is borne out by all the evi
dence. About 11 o’clock, as Lieut. Fal
'lon of the Watch was passing he heard a
disturbance caused by the woman of the
house turning out her supposed husband,
Doyle, who informed Mr. Fallon that a
comrade of his had seen a dead body un
der his wife’s bed. Supposing the story
to originate in jealousy, ail parties were
dismissed, but great charge was given to
the watchman, Alex. McClure, to keep a
careful eye upon the house. Ahout 1 o’-
| clock in the morning, a man was observed
recounoitering from the house, and short
ly after another, bearing a heavy burden,
came out and passed rapidly over to a va
cant lot, or yard, closely followed by the
watchman. Dropping his load the feilow
. ran, But l>um| laU.cn Brought his captOf to
see what it was, a blanket filled with clay
aud sod. This man was conveyed to the
guard house, and proved to be John John
son, a young, .but notorious offender.
Shortly before day bleak about 4 on Fri
day morning, Lieut. Crane, hearing the
story of McClure, narrowly watched the
lioiv>e, and after observing alight brought
from the back room to the front’, and car
ried there again constantly, knocked at
the door, and took into custody Ann Jane
Doyle, and Thomas M. Duds. On the
person of the latter was found a loaded
pistol and a key, and under the bar coun
ter a blanket with about a couple of hun
dred pounds of earth in it. The latter cir
cumstance induced Messrs. Fallon and
Crane to examine the premises,-and in
the back room, —some six feet from where
Davis was found lying on a settee, —
the planks of the floor were found tohave
been recently moved. On lifting them,
1 and removing some 3 inches of “clay, they
I came to the blue round-about of the sai
j lor, and on more ctyefully raising the soil
j with their hands, drew forth the body.
! But 011 God! what a sight did it present.
! The head was off: the legs both cut out.
| at the hip joints: the left foot severed from
! the shin bone, and the right knee so far
! divided that it hung but by alight ligature
j of skin. Such a scene of butchery was
■ never met with before: nor was human
nature ever seen more debased than in the
persons of the prisoners. They all shook
and trembled, in every fibre of their flesh.
The woman professed that she slept
the floor in the front room, and saw’ noth
ing, heard nothing, after the victim was
put to bed, stupified by Smith. Davis
proclaimed that he had slept fr<}m S in
the evening, and although but about two
yards from where the body was buried,
vowed the utmost unconsciousness of all
1 that had passed. On his hands, nails*
Lcheek, and clothes were fresh spots and
stains of blood. A knife taken from Da
vis' girdle had a quantity of flesh, blood*
