A truly superb and interesting creature is the turkey, whether we view Lira with the eyes of the naturalist, the gourmand, the Artist, or the small boy who meets him alone in a narrow path. It is a brave email boy who dares face the irate majesty of a lullgrown gobbler. t , 1 say lie is superb.' Observe him as he swells and struts, the crowned king of the barnyard, ehowin? the subdued magnificence of bis plumage to the October sun! Contemplate bini as at the present festive season he heads the array of his vassals upon the Field of the Clcth of snow the Thanksgiving table. He is beyond dispute the monarch, the Treat King Hal of the feast, the neplos ultra of all human food. He regales every one of our senses, sight, touch, taste, smell, and even hearing, for soft music whisjrs to us from the lire to the festive board. Why was not he, instead of the cruel, carrion-eating eagle, chosen for the emblematic bird of this nation? The turkey represents us worthily. Is he not big? Is he not valiant? Is he not adroit, invincible, in defensive war, yet averse to agression? In a peculiar sense, as all who know htm testify, he is the bird of freedom. He must wonder free all day over hill and dale, in forest and in field, or he pines and dwindles. Give him liberty or you give him death. Good farmers are generous to him, and give him both. Whether we accept him or not as the rational emblem, we c:tnnot resist his claim to the title of Native American. Sebastian Cabot d scovered the creature here about three hundred and eighty years ago, and his mate, or lieutenant, William Strickland (salutation to Ins memory!) took the trouble lo convey to Europe the t turkey the old world ever saw. Just as the wild turkey, a shy, unobtrusive bird, was about to disapjear forever from the world, he found a poet and historian worthy of him in John Adams AuduboD, who spent most of his life near its favorite haunts. 'o portion of Audubon's work upon the birds of America is written with more warmth of appreciation and greater fulness of knowledge than the opening piece of his first edition upon the turkey. The valley of the Mississippi, from the Alleghany to the Rocky Mountains, in which Audubon lived and rambled so long, was the favorite range cf the turkey, because in that fertile region the food abounded which is most suitable to it the beechnut, chesnat, acorn ar.d numberless other products of "the forest j.nnieval." The birds particularly abounded in Kentucky, Lower Indiana, "Western Tennessee, Mississippi and Upper Louisiana. Torpid and half-starved during the summer heats, as soon as October began to scatter its feeds and fruits, they would migrate toward the center of th? valley, the males in bands from ten to a hundred in number.and the females by themselves, each with its own brood of young, then about half grown. A dozen heu turkeys with their families would sometimes move on together, a clucking, anxious sisterhood, to resist the interference of the cock-turkeys, who at this period were violently jealous of their own offspring, and desired, like some other biped husbands, to monopolize the affection of their wives. These companies used to move on day after day in quest of food, pausing where it was abundant, and hurrying over regions where it was scarce. In the course of their migration, they frequently reached the bant of a wide river, perhaps swollen by the autumn rains The heroic Audubon observed their conduct at such times with surprise and admiration. The whole band would get upon a high hill, overlooking the wide expanse of water, and remain there many hours, sometimes for two whole days, as if to get up their courage and talk over the best way of crossing tne stream. The old cock-turkeys would strut about with ludicrous pomposity, uttering their weli-known gobble, gobble, gobble, stimulating their own valor, and -inspiring the whole congregation with their requisite confidence. Tae hens and their families imitated as well us they could the lords of the flock, spreading out their imperfectly developed tails, running round each other, uttering a sound like a cat's purr, and occasionally leaping into the air. At length, in a lull of the wind, no enemy in sight, the whole company would fly Into the air and roost in the tops of the highest trees, where they weuld remain in silence awaiting the signal - from the leader. That signal was a single cluck; upon hearing which the whole Hock would take flight for the other side. The mature birds, even the oldest and fattest, would get over easily enough, even though the river were a mile wide. The younger birds occasionally fell into the water. Bnt the wild turkey is a good swimmer. Folding their wings close to their sides, they stretch forward their neck?, and strike out vigorously with their feet. On reaching the shore they showed much pood sense, for if the bank was too steep for tbeni, they would flott down the stream till they came to a feasible landing place, where they would flop and flounder ashore with violent exertion. Toward Thanksgiving, these fortunate tnr keys, the progenitors of the hapless birds doomed to die for usat the festive season, had recovered from the summer leanness, and ent oyed life to the uttermost. In truth they j ad a bountiful Thanksgiving dinner every day in the glorious and fruitful woods of Kentucky and the adjacent Territories. At Christmas they were in plump perfection. Aa the winter advanced the turkeys became so gentle as frequently to mingle with the poultry of the settlers's own barnyards, and remain about the farms for several days at a time, sharing the grain of the domesticated fowls. 'o mature was more faithful to her young than the turkey hen, or more adroit in concealing them from their enemies. Even while laying her eggs, she seldom took the ame course to her nest twice, and she cov ered them so skillfully with leaves that Audubon found it difficult to find a nest even after he had seen the bird approach and leave it. A nest containing from fifteen to twenty large turkey eggs was so inviting a prey to the lynx, the fox, the skunk, the crow, the owl. all of which are creatures noted fur their cunning, that only the most watchful vigilance on the part of the mother turkeys saved the race from extinction. While the ken was sitting on her nest, if a fox or Jynx

passed near, she did not move until she was sure the animal had discovered her, but merely crouched lower till he was past. Audubon says: "I have frequently approached within five or six paces of a nest, of which I was previously aware. On aiauming an air of carelessness, and whistling or talkie;; to myself, the female remained undisturbed, whereas, if I went cautiously towards it, she would never suffer me to approach within twenty paces, but would run off with her tail spread on one side to a distance of twenty or thirty yarCs, when assuming a stately gait, she would walk about deliberately, uttering every now and then a cluck. A hen turkey, a the time draws near for the hatching of her younsr, was as faithful to her trust as the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. She would die rather than abandon them. She would look on and see a fence built around her neat, and still not leave it. When the time came for the brood to appear, she would look anxiously at the egT. carefully remove parts of the shell, caress and wie tlie young birds dry. and assirt them out of the nest All this wonderful proctss was closely watched by the untiring Audubon. "I have seen them," he says, "all emerge from the shell, and, in a few minutes after. tumble, roll and rush each other forward with astonishing and inscrutable instinct." While the birds were very young they were exceedingly weak and delicate. If they were once saturated with water, they seldom recovered from it. The mother not only guarded against this disaster with asiduous care, but administered the buds of the spicewood bnsh as a medicine. Audubon had a wonderful gift or attaching birds to himself. The feathery tribe seemed to see in the kindly and sagacious naturalist a biped and a brother. In Kentucky he bad a pet tursey, a superb cock, which he had reared almost from the shell. So tame was it that it would any one who gave the turkey "call," and it became the favorite of the village of Henderson. 15at it was never quite domesticated, nor would it roost with the domesticated turkeys in their hou?e, but passed its nights in lonely pride on the summit of the roof of its master's house. At last, its wild nature prevailed. After many shorter flights to the woods, one day it Hew to the top of a lofty tree on the bant of the Ohio, and thence failed slowly over to the opposite shore. It did not return at night, as usual, and for many days nothing was seen or heard of it. In the course of the month, Audubon, while shooting five miles from home, saw a handsome turkey walking leisurely along, and ordered bis dog Juno to give chase and scare it up into the air. The dog started off with her usual eagerness, and soon got very near the bird, her master waiting with cocked rifle to shoot as it nxe. To the amazement of the hunter, the turkey showed no alarm at the dog, and Juno herself, bewildered, came to a stop, and looked back at her master for further instructions. It was the pet turkey, the dog's familiar acquaintance. The bird was carried home on horseback, in front of a neighbor who happened tu pass. KNOTTY PROBLEMS.

"Truth is stranger than fiction" is an axiom as old as the hills, and yet it is as true to-day as at any period in the world's his tory. Time and again it has been reiterated that it is not necessary to draw upon the imagination of a writer for romances of any kind, but that events transpiring in everyday life are abundant in remarkable occur rences that far surpass anything in the realms of fiction. The Commercial Gazette representative was led to these reflections by having related to him a few evenings ago a romance in reai inc. moua. . 1 1 it t. perhaps, no more remarkable than is often seen in print. Yet it is a true story, and will probably interest a circle of readers who will take the trouble to peruse it.-The story, as given below, was related by one cf the principal parties while seated around a cozy fire in the ladies' salon of one of the magnificent steamers that ply the waters of the Cpper Ohio, and is given just as told without any embellishments whatever. Twenty-one years ago, in a beautiful val ley of Greenbrier County, West Virginia, at the foot of the Cumberland Mountains, in that loveliest of picturesque regions, the headquarters of the Great Kanawha, there lived a young farmer named Goodman. He was born and had grown to manhood in that region, and had. by his indomitable industry and energy, acquired the title to as fine a farm as any that dotted the little valley. Siome two years previous to the opening of the story he had married a buxom mountain lassie, and settled down to enjoy the hap piness of married life. Inne rassed on, and a oaby son came to increase their happiness With the birth of the child came the news that ort humter had fallen, and the tocsin of Civil War bad been pounded. Although a Southern born, Cioc dman was a bitter opponent of slavery, and it had been said of him that he had indi vidually aided many a runaway slave to a heaven of re fuge over the mysterious "Underground Railway." When the first rumor of war reached the quiet valley, Goodman bade farewell to his family, and, accompanied with four of his neighbors whose sympathies were with the eause of the Union, they secretly left the valley that same ii if ht and rodo northward. They proceeded to Cincinnati by boat, where they enlisted, and in the course of time were transferred to the Army of the Cumberland. In the dark days of ptember, 18fJ3, alter the battle of Chickamauga. and in the retreat to Chattanooga in one of the innumberable skirmishes during the retreat. Goodman was captured and shortly after ard sent to Andersonvilie Prison. Through a comrade came a few brief lines to the mountain home in Virginia, that Goodman had been captured and sent South, and a few hours later came the sad intelligence that he had died a lingering death in the Southern Prison pen. Close upon the heels of the awful news came the awakening on a dark night with the roof of her home ablaze by the incendiary's torch, applied by a marauding band of Confererates to more than the Union home in the hitherto peaceful valley. Crushed by the double loss, and having no relatives near to whom she could apply for refuge, Mrs. Goodman made her way to Cincinnati, where she eipected to rind a home with an uncle, whom she had visited once in childhood, but upon reaching the city her hopes were doomed to disappointment, as he had left for the West tome years before and his present residence was unknown. Her limited supply of money becoming rapidly reduced, she was forced to place her child in an Orphan Asylum, and through an advertisement in a daily paper she obtained employment in a great establishment on Fourth street that had a contract for furnishing uniforms for the Federal troops. She was thus employed for nearly a year, receiving a bare pittance that scarcely" kept soul and body together, but through the inlluence of a physician who attended her during a serious illness, she obtained a position as nurse in the Cincinnati Hospital at more remunerative wages. The report of Goodman's death at Andersonville proved to be false, and after weary months of imprisonment he was exchanged in the fall of 1864, with some 200 others, and sent North. He had heard no news from home in all that time, and the scene that met his gaze after a long and tiresome journey was heartrending. Ruin, desolation and woe on every hand, wife and child wanderers of the earth, was enough to crush even a stronger spirit than his, weakened by a long siege of imprisonment He beard that his wife had gone to Cincinnati and in a few days he was in the city, but a thorough search by detectives and repeated advertise ments in the daily papers failed to find any trace of the loving object of his search. After some weeks' faithful and persistent inquiries, he was forced to the conclusion that his wife and child were both dead. At this time the silver excitement in Nevada was at its highest, and having nothing to retard him, Goodman went West in the hope of forgetting his great sorrow in the dizzy whirl of the mining camp. He staked a claim, and being . a man of energy and not addicted to the vices so prevalent among the miners, he succeeded in a few months in amassing quite a fortune, which he invested in real estate in the then already flourishing town of Virginia City. Success crowned his every undertaking, an4 it was not long until Goodman was considered the wealthiest man in all that region, where scores of men were counted roillionoire?. In 176 Goodman removed to San Francisco and became senior partner in a great banking firm. One morning in answer to an advertisement for book-keepers, a young man presented himself in his private oöice, who, by his striking resemblance to Goodman, led to inquiries and investigation. To make a long story short, the young man proved to be the long lost son of Goodman. He had been, adopted from the Orphan Asylum at Cincinnati, by a wealthy and childless couple of Davton, O . raised in luxury and given a good education. Financial reverses and the death of both his benefactors threw the young man on his own resources, and he had finally drifted to the Far West carried thither by the Mattering reports of the new Eldorado. Henry, for such was the young man's name, was immediately installed as junior partner of tbe lirm. In October last a gentleman named Warren, an eld neighbor ot Goodman in his Virginia home, and, by the way, one of the comrades that went out with him from the ?uiet valley to battle in the War of the 'nion, was in San Francisco; and, having a draft to negotiate, he stepped into Goodman's bank to transact his business. While the money was being "paid overto him by the elder Goodman, Warren casually remarked that he (Goodman) very much resembled an old friend whom he knew years ago in West Virginia. Goodman stated that he was from Greenbrier County; explanation followed, the identity of each disclosed, and Warren was invited to the home of the younger Goodman, with whom his father was residing. That evening after tea the party were drawn around the fireside exchaneinir reminiscences of the past. Finally

I Goodmac related the disappearance and tapi ? i

posed death of his wite. when he was interrupted by Warren, who excitedly stated that Urs. "Goodman was still alive and a resident of Covin eton, Ky Tbe revelation came like a thunderclap on a clear, cloudless day, and the sheck Dearly proved too much for Goodman. Joy seldom ever kills, and so it proved in this instance. Warren happened to know the address of .Mrs. Goodman, who bad never married, and at an early hour in the morning they drove to the telegraph office and an exchange of telegrams confirmed Warren's statement, that Mrs. Good man was yet in tbe land of the living. Goodman, accompanied by his eon and family, took the first train for the Eat and in due time arrived in Cincinnati. No pen can picture the meeting after more than twenty years' separation, and the joy that came to at least two hearts after all those long years of sorrow and pain. Tbe entire party passed up on the steamer Fleetwood the other evening, and a happier or more joyous coterie was never seen aboard that boat The story was related to a reporter by Goodman pere himself, and it may be well to remark here that Goodman is an assumed name, but were the real name given

it would be recognized as a strong one in I financial circles, and one that has been, and is yet, prominent in the councils of tbe Nation. LITTLE FOLKS.

LIVER COMPLAINT. A Furred Tongue. Languor and Depression.' Melancholy. Always Tired. Irregular Appetite. Pain in the Bight Side, which is increased by pressure. Pain under ihe Shoulder Blade. Belching or Flatulence. Scanty Diarrhoea. Nausea and Vomiting. Any of these symptoms show thai the liver is not secreting the proper amount of bile. From thil cause the stomach and bowels are clogged by undigested food, which by poisoning the blood is producing disease ki every part of the system. If these ryraptoms are accompanied by a short, dry cough, with difficulty of breathing, there is always danger of Consumption. Kine-tentns of all tbe deaths from Consumption are caused by neglect of these frst causes, a diseased and inactive liver and the indige&tion of food arising therefrom. MANDRAKE. Its I st s as a Kedieiue in Diseases or liier, Stomach and Bowels. Mandrake was first used by tbe Indians, in a crude stale, but even in their bands performed such wonderful cures that it attracted tbe attention of physicians, more especially as it was found to produce all tbe good results of mercury, without any of the dangers attending the use of this mineral poison. Since its introduction to the medical world it has almost entirely taken the place of mercurial preparations in diseases for which mercury was formerly used. Mandrake Is found throughout the United States in low, shady situations. It bears its flowers in May or June, and matures Its fruit in September or October. It is more common in the Western and Middle States than in New England or the South. The root only is used as a medicine, the proper time for gathering being the early part of November, soon after the ripening of the fruit. It should never be used when freshly gathered, and even when dry lt will sometimes cause severe pain unless combined with other medicines. We ask the reader to carefully peruse the following opinions of two eminent physicians on the great curative properties of Mandrake: Professor John King, M. D., savs in tbe American Dispensatory: "As a deobstruent it is one of the most valuable In our materia medica. acting through and upon all the tissues of the system. In bilious and typhoid febrile diseases it Is very valuable as a cathartic, often breaking up the disease at once. 'In Chronic Hepatitis (Liver Complaint) there is not its superior in the whole range of medicine., being vastly more useful than mercurial agents, arousing the liver to healthy action, increasing the flow of bile and keeping up these actions longer than any other agent wltn which we are acquainted. In constipation it acts on the bowels without disposing them to subsequent costiveneu. As a cholagogue cathartic it probably has n equal. It produces a specific action on the liv arousing it to action and producing free bllio evacuations. In bilious fevers, either remittent intermittent, as well aa acute disease ot the liv e or bilious pneumonia, it not unfrequently arres t the disease at the first prescription, or it so far modifies the attack that the case becomes mild and manageable. In chroaie Hepatic derangement (Liver Complaint), with Dyspepsia, it is a most valuable remedy. Its range of application is perhaps more extensive than any other cathartic medicine, and while In any and every case It will do all the good that Is claimed for mercury, it is entirely free from any of tbe objections to that article." . - The late Professor T. V. Morrow says: "Perhaps no medicine has been Introduced to the medical profession for the last 100 years which promises to be of such value as Podophyllin (Mandrake.) An experience somewhat extensive In the tue of this agent in the treatment of a great variety of cases of disease, baa fully convinced me of Its immense value as a remedial agent, especially as a purgative and alterative. It operates with energy aal efficiency, without harshness, leaving the bowels in a gently lax condition for two or three days after its operation. With one single dose of this medicine I have frequently arrested a severe attack of bilious remittent fever, requiring nothing further to complete the cure except some gentle ton is and a proper avoidance of the exciting causes. The iesults of my experience in the use of this article as a remedial agent, on the who'e, are auch as to leave no doubt in my mind that it is destined to occupy a conspicuous place among the most valuable remedies of tbe materia medica, with a very extended range'of applications In the treatment of disease. Indeed.lt promises to be more than a substitute for mercury In all those caas where mercury ' fias proved of any subsUmlial value, without the liability of producing injurious eflects on the constitntloa cf patients." Mandrake has been nsed in many forms by physicians and others, but it was never brought before tbe public in a perfect and practical way until prepared and combined wita other valuable medicines by DR. J. H. SCHENCK, OP PHILADELPHIA. Thirty years ago be began the manufacture of his now celebrated MAKDKAKE PILLS, and since that time they have gained the confidence of the public so fully that their aale in the United StsUs now far exceeds that of any other cathartic medicine. They do not produce sickness at th ' stomach, nausea or griping. They act directly o tbe liver, the organ which, when in a healthy condition, purifies the blood for the whole body. ; Tbey are the only perfect preparation of MA DRAKE, that substitute lor mercury. Ihe is not their equal in the whole ranee of Carthar : Medicines known to man. They will cure the m stubborn cases of Liver Complaint, that great forrunner and cause of Consumption.
