The Bull Fight at Brauss’; or, W 0 H oolr n z “i 17 a if oi* 7.” BY JONCE HOOPER* Our friend Isaac Brauss is a devoted lover of fun. ‘* A good joke is the sum mum bonum of’ his life. Hospitable, in dolent, wealthy, lie only exerts himself to get a laugh, and we verily believe fle would prefer that frost should blight his cotton crop rather than that the promise of “ a good thing” should be defeated. His mansion is near a highway considera bly travelled, and as he indulges the dolcefar niente , in his front piazza, it not unfrcqueutly happens that he picks up “ a subject.” It was precisely in this way that he got hold of a little gascona ding Frenchman, last summer, and ex tracted from his eccentricities, broken English, and hraggadocia proclivities, immense store of the richest enjoyment —at the slight cost of a month’s board and an occasional dollor to be invested at the neighboring village. Monsieur Crapaud was full of life, volatile-, vivaci ous, constantly recounting his “hair breath ’scapes” and his wondrous feats. Among these latter, he one day told Isaac, how “ upon a time” he had volun teered to enter the ring at Madrid, where he had out-shone all the matadores of the occasion, by the bravery and skill with which lie had mastered a vast bull whose tremendous size and ineffable fe rocity shook the nerves of all the Span ish cliivalry present. “ Harkee, Crappy,” said Isaac, address ing Monsieur by a nick name the French man did not al together relish", “ Harkee, Crappy, you talk a great deal about your bull fights, but I’ve got a yearlin’ here, not much above a year and a half old, that the children about the yard have learned to butt a little, and I’ll bet lie can whip you any day !” “ Sucre,'’ growled Crappy, “ bPgar, Mons. Brauss, aif your bool fat for bis, you sail liave.bifstek to morrow, certain merit, begar!’’ “ Never you mind,” replied Brauss, “ about the bull being fat enough for steak; if you’ll only kik"him, I’ll Lave him cooked. But you must do the tbiug scientifically. I’ll make th.e niggers build you a bull-ring: a rough spear head can be made at the Blacksmith’s shop—and then we’ll see!” “Ha! ha! Monsieur, you sail see! Zat you shall! You leettle dam bool I vilfcut him up for vat you chll leettle piece. Ha !” he continued with a tri umphant gesture of his hand—“ha! come aliaid, Monsieur leettle bool!” “ Shouldn’t bo surprized,” remarked Isaac, teosingly, “if the little bull broke your nose.yet, Monsieur Crappy !” “Nevair! nevair! Monsieur Brauss! Ze dam leetel bool salFnevair braik my noze—no nevair” —and Crappy rubbed that organ, as if to be assured of rts’ presence and integrity—“ nevair, no ne vair, Mons. Braass. It sail be me, Vic tor Crapaud, vat sail Iqaik ze leetel bool pon the noze, and ’pon de haid, and ’pou ae tail! Begrar. I sail braik him all ovair /” Isaac forthwith put the negro boys about the yard to building a rail-fence enclosure, circular, and of about the size of an ordinary circus ring. This took but little time, Crappy was extremely anxious to have the passage-at-arms be tween the little bull—whom Isaac dub bed Napoleon —and himself, to come off immediately. But Isaac, on one excuse aud another, deferred the fight to the succeeding Saturday, at which time he notified all his neighbors to bo present to see the sport. Saturday came. So did tlie neigh bors. The little bull (not far advanced beyound calf-hood, and sporting a pair of horns not more than six inches in length,) was safely ringed. Napoleon had a few ribbons floating from his lit tle horns, and a small thoin bush de pended from his tail, which, as lie switch ed that valuable appondage, irritated bis sides and increased bis ill-tompcr. lie looked quite savagely at Crapaud, as that individual, astride of Bob, (whose tail was docked so short that every one wondered why the operator left any tail, at all,) rod up to tho slip-gap of the rude arena. Crappy cut quite a grotesque appearance. He had on a pair of very light yellow breeches, too short for him: in the absence of coat and vest, he spor ted an old red sash which had done ser vice in Isaac’s military days, and from his neck, wrists and knees, floated many ribbon ends which had been contributed from tho finery of tho house servants* “PRINCIPLES NOT MEN.” The neighbors were gathered in groups, or sat astraddle of the rails which made the enclosure. Little niggers, and big, women and men, showed the ivory ot their mouths in delighted anticipation oi the sport ahead. Isaac bustled about until every thing was ready, and then gave the word to let down the gap. Bob bore Crappt within the arena with a mincing step, I such as Indian ponies much affect when disagreeing with their riders as to the course of travel. He had no idea of what was in reserve for him; by the way, we must explain hore, tlrat Bob had a holy horror of spurs. lie was wont to perforin the most grotesque feats, when touched with those appliances.— Knowing this peculiarity, Isaac had armed the heels of the Crappy with a pair of the hugest and crudest Mexican “persuaders,” cautioning him the while, by no means to use them until the mo ment he proposed to make some tremend ous phargeupon the bull. Thus advised, Monsieur rode with his heels well out ; and with his extemporaneous spear in one hand, Isaac’s ponderous meatcleaver and the reins in the other, he was rather a funnylooking chevalier, at the very best. Monsieur Craypaud attained the cen tre of the ring. The bull faced him fiom a fence corner opposite the slip-gap.— Rising in his stirrups, with a flourish of his spear, in enthusiastic tones, he shou ted vive la belle France! Prcrez garde, Monsieur Bool! Whites and negroes, with one accord, sent up a wild whoop at these words; the bull shook his head and prepared for an attack. But as Crappy came down into the seat of his saddle, both heels were driven violently into the pony’s sides. With a sudden squat, Bob made Crappy’s stirrups touch the ground ; then curving himself so as to able to bite at the offending heels, be commenced a series of twistir.gs-round, cat-fashion, with a squat to the ground every five seconds: Crappy, confuted, kept the persuaders buried in the pony’s sides, thereby maintaining bis seat, and round and round, and round and round, they went, sash .and ribbons streaming in the artificial breeze —the spectators yelling, screaming, roaring with fFantie delight. On a sudden impulse, Bob changed his tactics entirely, and tucking down his little stopper of a tail so close that he seemed to be without the caudal ornament entirely, he begen to kick up with a rapidity that defied the eye to number the elevations and depressions. “ Sacre!” gruudted Crappy. “ DiaLle ! Mons. Brauss, ze dam pony” - Poor Crappy’s appeal was cut short., by his flying over Bob’s head, streamers all standing out; still ho gallantly re tained his weapons. As he rose, he turned to hurla meledictiou at the crowd whose merrimeut at his rocket-like flight through the air was perfectly unbound ed, but before he had time to utter* an oath, lie. discovered the bull (who evi dently thought his time had now come,) -plunging terrifically at him. Crappy received him manfully ; struck his spear at him with one hand and chopped at his nose with the cleaver in the other, as young Taurus rushed upon him. But the Bull had too much mometum to stop, and therefore tilted Crappy head over heels, and only brought himself up in an opposite corner of the fence. Fortunate ly, Monsieur was little hurt, and brave ly facing the bull, which bad commenc ed pawing and ““ moo-00-ing” for a sec ond demonstration, he began addressing him, “ Come on, Monsieur dirty leetel Bool! Come oh! garcon, I sail make bifstek” Again the bull started, but at the same moment there dallied in a very small flee, (the property of one of the negroes,) and reaching Crappy a second before the bull he seized the unfortunate French man by the leg, with the fury of Lire Lion of the Desert. Crappy, fearless of bulls, big and little, regardless of all danger in the sbape of beligerent human, this same Crappy yielded to the valor of a shArp nosed flee, and throwing down his weap ons, ingloriously began to flee, with an expression of terror so ludicrous on his face, that the assembly shrieked, and shrieked again, in convulsions of mirth. But the bull was not to be balked of his prey thus; as Crappy fled with “Nip,” the fice, adhering to his leg, Napoleon charged homo upon him, prostrating him in a comer of the enclosure very near where Isaac stood. Two or three tre mendous butts upon Crappy’s back and lower down, with a savage attempt to gore, (which resulted only in the up-rip ping of one breeches-leg,) were given be fore Isaac and two or three negroes, tak ing hold of the rails near the ground, at the point of over-lapping, raised them up sufficiently to make a crevico largo e nough for Crappy’s escape. As the Frenchman was straggling through this, his person quite naturally presented a convexity posteriorly, and at this Napo leon “let drive,” with all tho energy of a “ last lick,” driving Crappy “ thro’ and thro’,” with one shin badly raked and his nasal feature badly contused ! Heroat the miscellaneous crowd once moro testified their delight by prolong ed cheers, during which Crappy got up, and with one hand on the spot where the bull last hit him as lie came thro’, aud tho other tenderly placed upon his nose, he looked daggers at tho bystan ders. “ How’s this, Monseur Crapaud ?” ask ed Brauss with much gravity; “you promised to make bifstek of’ my little bull, and here in live minutes he butts you thro’ a crack of the fence, as if you were a cur puppy !” “ Sair!” exclaimed the irate Crappy —“sair ! Mons Brauss ! I have meet vour dam leetel Bocl, like ungentilhom rne ! I have fight him”—here Crappy swelled and struck his breast with his I have. fi<jht him for zehonneur of la belle France ! Your dam leetel horse, wiz no tail, hav fall, me ovair bees head! Aha 1 vair good ! Steel I’ fight for la belle France! Zen ven I maik ready to give ze leetel bool ze grande coup , vat sail come —eh! Vy” —here his expression of disgust was in describable —“vy, von dam leetel fais dog, ya ! ya! ya ! and bite me ’pon de heel of my laig! Zen, I loos my morale cooraz —zen 1 seize vat you call —eh ? von dam panique !—zen I fight no more for la belle France f Aha ! Monsieur Brauss, Victor is no dam Yankee to fight ven he hav looz his morale cooraz , viz ze leetel fais dog ’pon his heel, and ze grande panique shaik him all ovair! No! no ! Monsieur Brauss!” The crowd voted that Crappy’s excuse was a perfectly good one, and they, fur ther, appointed a day when he should meet his opponent, Napoleon, with bet ter security for fair play ; but when the time arrived tho’ Napoleon bellowed eagerly for the fray, the representative of la belle France was no where to be found. “Nip,” the fice, died mysteri ously the night before Crappy departed from the hospitable roof of Isaac Brauss. jffodeiri) flrogtiw? isl tye ftcDicqS £lro fei 00. The public have latterly had presen ted to them rather a novel feature in the journalism of the day, in the shape of elaborate scientific treatises on medical subjects appearing in consecutive chap ters iu the advertising and news columns of the daily and weekly newspapers of this city. These articles are from the pen of Dr. Hunter, No, B'2B Broadway, the -well known practitioner in pulmona ry and bronchial diseases, and are distin guished from the empyrical programmes usually put forth through the same me dium, by their thorough acquaintance with the subjects-treated of, the simplic ity and clearness of their language, and tho demonstrative force of the arguments employed. With these qualities to recommend them to our attention, we cannot but welcome the appearance of these articles as heralding an important and beneficial revolution in tho traditions practice of themedieal profession. There is no pur suit in which the spirit of old fogyjsm has, in spite of the enlightenment of the age, managed more completely to tram mel and subdue the human intellect. — With a view to unity, like the Roman Catholic Church, it maintains its hold upon the almost superstitions awe and reverence of ignorant and unreasoning minds, by involving the little of truth that it possesses in technical phraseolo gy, derived from classical souces, and consequently incomprehensible to the multitude. But few men belonging to the craft— for such more correctly may be designa ted the medical profession —have had courage to emancipate themselves from the code of conventional as well as col legiate regulations which has been built up for its protection. Like the novitiate of the Egypt ain priesthood, its mysteries ami its privileges could only become ac cessible by a prescribed track, and after a long, and often painful probation.— There has been hitherto no short cut to professional success and fame rocognised within its canons. Any man departing from the beaten ro .and laid down for his guidance has been invariably treated as an outcast, and stigmatised as a quack. The result has been, that whilst the med ical profession has been reduced to a close monopoly, it has extended but lit tle its sphere of knowledge, and conse quently conferred less benefits upon- the human race than it might other wise have done. One of the harriers by which the pro fession has endeavored to fence itself around, has been prohibition or discour agement held out to all attempts on the part of its members to enter into direct communication with the public. A med ical man may address himselt through tho medium of a book, and under tho cover of technicalities to his own profes sion, but he must not appeal to the com mon sense and natural intelligence of tho uninitiated members of the community, lest the arcana of the healing art should cease to be, like tho Eleusynian myste ries, an exclusive and profitable posses sion. Tho effect of this jealous and nar row minded system on phiWdth topic and high spirited men may readily bo con ceived. They have had to chafe in si lent indignation under restraints, the di rect bearing of which has been to pro tect the privileges of the senior members of the profession, and keep down and dis courage as much as possible all evidence of rising talent. Wo are rejoiced to find that one man, and that a praetionor, whose professional merits and skill cannot for a moment ho questioned, has had tho moral courage to break through the trammels imposed upon him by tho old routine of his art. TWO DOEEAIIS a-ye ah, in advance. Dr. Hunter wisely, and in time, arrived at the conclusion that if such acquire ments as he possessed were worth any thing, the more extensive tho circulation he gave to the results of liis researches and experience the greater the benefits he would not only confer upon himscit but upon the community. Between the limited publicity afforded him by the usual professional resource of book pub lication and that offered by the nevaepa pers it is not surprising that he chose the latter. It presented the advantages of rapidity, conprehensiveness and pop ularity 7; objects which to a man ambi tions of fame in bis profession, were the readiest and surest elements of success. We have had personal experience of the happy results of the Doctor’s mode of treatment, and can vouch for its success, j Owing to the severe drudgery incident j to our pursuits; and that tendency to j bronchial diseases with which the pecu- j liarity of our climate afflicts such a large | proportion of our population, we have been suffering for several years past from a throat affection, which all the medi cal remedies that we bad formerly ap plied failed to cure. We can truly say that we have found moro relief and grea-1 ter .hope of ultimately getting rid of the] malady from Dr. Hunter’s mode of tr< a‘- rnent than from that of any other medi cal man to whom we had previously sub mitted our case. The lesson afforded by tliis brief sketch of Dr. Hunter’s career is calculated to be useful to the medical profession. Here is a man who, chained down by the con ventional prejudices and usages of his rtiedical brethren, might have toiled on for half his life without- arriving at the results to which his acquirements entitled him to aspire. It cost him an effort of moral courage, and no doubt a saerifice of some professional pride, to emancipate himself from the thraldom of associations in which they bound him. By having sufficient independence of character to shake loose these ties, and devote bis tal ents to the general good of the commu nity, ho has, within an unprecedentedly short space of time, won the highest prizes within the reach .of a medical practitioner.* The Canvass in other States. Whilst endeavoring to defend to the extent of our ability, the principles of civil anti religious liberty in Georgia, we feel a deep interest in the result of the elections in those States in which our friends as engaged in* doing battle in the same great cause. We, there-1 fore, watch oqr exchanges daily in or der to learn the movements of men and parties. All o\jr readers will share, more or less, with us in this feeling, and we accordingly propose to notice the conduct of our friends in several sec tions. In North Carolina the contest is waxing very warm. Democrats and Whigs are side by ‘side and shoulder to shoulder, battling against the secret enemies of our free institutions. The Hon, J. A. Caldwell, a distinguished Whig; lias written a letter of great abili ty, urging the people, forgetful of past party distinction, to unite in crushing Know Notliingism and pledging liis sup port to the Democratic candidate for Con gress. He concludes his letter by say ing, that lie wo id vote for Mr. Craige, a , Democrat witli as much pleasure, as lie would for Mr. Kerr, were he citizen of the District of the latter. We find a like zeal manifested by (lie people ot Alabama, but especially in the Southern part of the State. The Mobile district., Alabama, was represented in the lust Congress, bv a gentleman of uncommon ability, Col. Phillips. We, therefore, have some anxiety to know, as lie has declined a nomination who will be his successor.— The Democrat eandidade, is James A. Stallworth, and his Know Nothing op ponent is Col. Percey, Walker former ly an ultra States Rights Democrat.— The accomplished ed'tor of the Mobile Register, John Forsyth, has been recrea ting by travelling through the District, and he.writes the most encouraging let ters to his paper. It is really refreshing to read a letter from the pen of John Forsyth. We have just concluded one of liis elegant epistles, in which he gives an account of a discussion between the candiates, both of whom arc men ot ac knowledged ability. “At every step, says he, Col. Walker deyelopes in the clearest manner his own convictions of the rottenness of his catiso. His con stant labor is to claw off from tho real principles of the party which ho repre sents. He repudiates the religious intol erance, the unmanly warfare on natural ized citiziens, and the secret features of his Order. But unhappy for him, those are tho principles of Know Nothingism —they stick to him like the shirt of Nessus, and he cannot tear it off. Col. Stallworth compels him to wear it. Tlio Know Nothing candidate loatlis the gar ment, but he voluntarily assumed it and will fret Kim to the end. Hi - restive ness under it only furnishes an argument with which to confound him. ’ Again he says, “there is no mistaking the indications, wherever I have been, of tho docay of this vicious aud ephemer al ism. f dSTO. 24. In this county ( Wilcox) the Order has died out. Two hundred have left it, and the residue of the lodge have given up the contest in despair. The Democrats are up to fever heat here. Tho candi dates for the legislature have met Mr. Sam Slick, and have riddled him before the people. . This county will give Stall worth 2,30 majority. I hear the same good news from Marengo. Sam hangs hi* head there. Stallworth will come to Mobile with a thumping majority.” Mr. Forsyth thus gracefully alludes to the fact, “that Col. Walker was a Demo cratic member of the last legwftture.— “ I fervently hope to see, and shall cheer fully labor to accomplish the defeat of a man who, at this moment, the candidate and leader of a party hostile to the Dem ocracy, is at the same time a member of the legislature to which he was elected ! as the nominated Democratic candidate, j and by Democratic voters. In the af ! fairs of politics, as well in the courts of Venus, it is generally considered decorous “ to be off with the old love before being on with the new,” but my friends, Col. Walker, could not wait to get out of the Democratic services before he thirsted for office in the ranks of its^enemies.” — Col. Walker is like the Know Nothing candidate for Governor in Alabama, who retains, his office as Circuit Judge, de termined, if he cannot be a Governor, to continue at least a Judge. Both of them are very much disgusted with the “ hunt after office.” In Mississippi, Gov. Mc- Rae has already commenced the canvass, and has made a long list of appointments. In Louisiana, the Know Nothings havo repudiated the Philadelphia platform, and form new a separate organization to all intents and purposses. The Demo crats in this State have put forth a very strong ticket, and one which will cer tainly achieve a triumphant victory. In Tennessee, Johnson and Gentry canvass the State together, and all accounts which reach us of their discussions, are calculated to raise our confidence in tho Democratic standard bearer. In Ken-* tucky, Democrats and Whigs are work ing nobly together, to preserve, unim paired, the principles of political and re ligious freedom, which Clay held in com mon with all the great leaders of tho Democracy. The whole country rebels at tho idea of submitting to a parly which advocates political proscription and religious ty ranny. The cause in which we are en gaged is the cause of truth and will ev erv where, where beat American hearts, finally obtain a complete and overwhelm ing triumph.— Constitutionalist & Re public. From the Albany Atlas. The Crusade Extending.—Assault on the Methodists. We have noticed the movements of tho know nothings of New Jersey against tho Methodists, and the public meeting held in New York to denounce them. It appears that a Mr. Graves is out in a volume having the same object—called, The Iron wheel, or Republicanism Backward, and Christianity Reversed.” A writer in the Cortland Demo crat quotes some specimens of the vindictivo work : , Methodism cannot be justly called a church of Christ.’ . Methodism a human invention—is the grand-daugbter of Rome— the grandchild of the man of sin, and son'of perdition ; the church cannot fellowship it.’ Tim tirst chapter of the Discipline wholly untrue:'’ * Methodism without either alter !or divinity—its members are preachers all unconverted.’ .
