| Wds more IlXurl0uS, ana sleep

Last DAY.
On consultation we concluded to
turn our faces homeward. Crossing
Bayou Serpent, the glimpse of q
large g0bbler caused us to camp,
and try our. luck again. At night
we made a fire, cooked supper, and
while partaking thereof discovered
that we were providing a meal for
swarms of happy mosquitoes, whose
song gave evidence of much Joy,
| and to silent, but hungry gnats.
Hands, face, ears, nose and eyes
furnished a feast to these unlimited
guests. One of us, being peculiarly
sensitive to this species of phIebot-
omy, proposed going home by torch
light, as it was very dark, and then
there was laugh which made the
woodland ring. Much persuasion,
however, was not needed, one car
rying the pine torchlight on foot in
advance of our horses, until sup
posing we were in the wrong road,
again we tried to camp, and again
made the little insects happy.
There was no rest, no sleep. Find
ing we were in the right road, we
started once more for home. This
was truly a romantic night-the
torchlight procession, for the dis
tance of ten miles, could be beauti-
fully illustrated on the burlesque
page of Harper or Frank Leslie.
RESULT.
No turkeys, two alligators and
twelve partridge feathers from
git0t spot.
CONCLUSION.
Wild turkeys are not tame, nor
plentiful as tracks seen by some of
the party, which perchance may
have been made by achoOping-
cranes. ** #*#*

"A Turkey HUNT.

Calcasieu is noted for her game
and her sportsmen, and Lake
Charles claims a goodly number OF
the latter, whose hunting days are
fraught with interesting incident,
that never reach the columns of the
ECHO. | have concluded to send
sketch to the paper, not on ac-
count of interesting incident, but
because / wish to tell about nv
first turkey hunt.
Neither of us, three in number,
had ever killed a wild turkey, and
there was excitement even in the
preparation-gettingp Sc
lecting ammunition, etc. A friend
presented us with a pipe stem,
kindly giving us lessons on the
same, in imitation Of the game, lin
structing us how to approach, and
when and where to shoot; but on
questioning him, we learned that
he had neoer killed a turkey. In high
spirits, we started, with a strong
hack, and two creole ponies, for the
place where the goJbIe was heard,
morn and eve, on every passing
breeze. During the afternoon we
passed a scene which made our
hearts feel sad. 1t was very dry,
and a great fire was spreading rap
idly through the woods, consuming
the government timber. The de-
youring flames had already pene-
trated the heart Of many a lofty
pine, which might have swelled the
U. s. treasury, reduced taxation,
aud thus contributed to the general
good. Gloom settled upon our par
ty; the sport ahead was forgotten
in rejecting upon the loss TO the
country in beautiful edifces, wide
spreading farms, and the constant
revenue accruing from these, and
other improvements. The necessity
of Immediately notifying the Secre-
tary Of the Interior was evident,
that might send special agent,
with force of Keepers to extinguish |
this destructive fire, and henceforth |
guard this precious timber with |
care: but no telegraph
office being near, we could not com
municate with this Jealous u. s.
officer, and lover OF. pine logs.
At night we ate our supper and
slept in soldier style--arose at 3
o'clock next morning, made coffee
and practiced the turkey yelp on our
pipe stems till half-past four, when
with Russian determination, we
crossed the river to wage war upon
Aykey. Day began to break, and
lhe woods rang with music; the lit
lie birds, with melodious notes
charmed our ears, and occasionally
he yelping of our pipestems ehimed
n, but no responsive gobble greeted
,ur expectant ears. Two expe-
fenced hunters joined us, and our
party separated; the writer follow
ng one who had killed his score of
turkeys. Riding three miles, we
|
led our horses and entered the
on foot, crossing gullies, La
ICONS, and fallen timber, looking
'arefllly for turkey tracks at low
,laees, and along the waters edge.
With stealthy step we passed on,
'eering with eager eye through
rush and tree--stopping now and
hen to geLp. Late in the afternoon

light of five turkeys, running at a
distance, butwe did not get shot,

nd hungry. The bed that night i

looking to the refunding of the city indebt-

Speculation is rife as to the work OF the

CONGRESSIONAL PROBABILITIES
The probabilities are summed up as fol-
lows:
A bill to reorganize the army will be re-
ported, but there is no likelihood of its
passage or that there will be any reduction
of the army strength.
The levee measure will be pressed.
The Texas Pacific will come up in both
branches, and be antagonized as usual by
Huntington's scheme.
1t is said that the Brazil subsidy will not
be pressed, but this is probably unauthor-
ized.
The bill to transfer the control of the In
dian Bureau to the War Department will
be a prominent topic.
The appropriation bills will probably run
in the old grooves, with little change, ex-
cept an increased allowance for rapid mail
service.
There will be good deal of party wrang-
ling, outrage shrieking and full discussion
of the last campaign and its results, with a
debate over the cipher dispatches and the
Returning Board of 1876.
The session promises to be exceedingly
interesting, and party spirit will run high.
1t is generally agreed that the fiat money
folly is played out.
