A Bet of a Head.

amusing letter from NJ. Bcrtot, head OF
the College Of Chatcaudun, to Baron
Won Unterricht, Orderly officer Of Gen.
eral Won der Tam:
Baron-the 28th of November last
you were at Chateaudun, which was
taken after a fight OF nine hours, not
very glorious for the Prussian arms,
since $4,000 men, with twenty -four
pieces oil artillery, were pitted against
1900 men. You took up your quarters
at my friends the apothecary, where we
met. After dinner, in the Joy caused
by your success, you boasted about the
power of Prussia, her immense forces
and admirable military organization,
which no other nation could resist.
Greatly excited, you fixed tho date of
your triumphal entry into Paris, aud
fixed the following itinerary: "ln two
days we shall be at Orleans, in eight
days at Tours, and in three weeks in
Paris" As | contested this assertion,
you said "Well, | bet my head against
yours that we shall enter Paris before
the lst of January" The bet was
taken. Not having entered Paris before
the lst Of January, you have lost, and
your head belongs to me. As man of
honor and geutluman, you owe it to
me, and | count upon your word. But
do not torment yourself, Baron, | am
not a man Of blood, and prefer seeing
heads where the Creator placed them.
For this reason | propose II settlement.
You shall keep your head, which is no
doubt precious to you, aud would be a
great nuisance 10 me but, us compen-
sation, you will give me $4,000, which
shall be laid out in relieving the victims
Of the war"

pccted.
