The Man who Weeps.
He’entered a bakery on Grand River
avenue at eleven o’clock yesterday fore
noon. He didn’t look like a neat and
tidy old man about ready to join the
angels, but he resembled an old man
who had slept in a barn and was ready
to join a big dinner.
“I think,” he said as ho looked
around, “I think I’ll take a huckleber
ry pie."
The woman behind the counter re
plied that she hadn’t seen a pie of that
sort for six months.
“What is col.ateral to hucdoberry
pie ?” asked the man as he looked into
the show case.
She didn’t know, and he said he
thought pumpkin was, and that he
would take a pumpkin pio. She hand
ed one down, and, as he took out his
koife and cut into it, she said ;
“Twenty cents, if you please."
‘‘Change a bill, I s’pose ?” he queried
a* he look in a twelfth part of the pie
at one bite.
“Yes, sir."
‘‘Have you any objections to feeling
down my boot-leg and pulling up a $lO
bill ?” he asked as he cut the second
piece.
She said she had, and she further*
more hinted that he hadn’t seen a $lO
bill for the last ten years
“Oh, yes I have,” he pleasantly re
sponded. as he cleared his mouth, “I
was looking into a broker’s window
yesterday, and I saw over forty such
bills"
There was one more mouthful of pie,
and as he swallowed it the woman call
ed out:
“Now I want the twenty cents I”
“So do I,” was his quiet answer; “but
I haven’t got it ”
“I’ll call my husband and have you
kicked !" she exclaimed.
“You will call in a young and vigor
ous man and have him beat and bruise
an old man like me, weak in the legs,
near gone with consumption and only
barely able to Btaud up ! That crushes
what little spirit I had left when 1 be
gan on that pie !"
He sat down by the stove and began
to weep and sob, and after a moment
she said:
“You should have told me that you
had no money."
“More abuse —more recrimination
boo-hoo 1" he sobbed, shedding tears as
large as beans.
“Don’c make so much she
chided.
“There you go again, heaping more
anathemas on these gray hairs ! Oh !
what a cold, cold world is this —boo-
boo !”
“Never mind the pie—go ’long out of
doors!”
“I’ll never leave this bakery with a
stain on my character —never ! I have
\ no money, but you shall have my coat !
Hero—take it!"
■ He was peeling it off, when she said
she didu’t want it —that she wanted him
to get right out doors.
“I’ll never go out till I require this
(boonhoo) claim—boo-hoo !” he
bed, and he pulled off his jacket and
flung it after the coat.
“Get out, Isay —you can have the
pie—get out!” she screamed.
, “My character (boo-hoo) must be
cleared (boo-hoo), and if these are not
enough I’ll leave my boo s ! Mere, take
my poor old boots, and I’ll go forth in
my baro feet !”
“Stop—stop ! I was only in fun with
you. I didn’t want no twenty cents of
you any of the time ! Here are some
fried cakes and another pie—take ’em
and go out I"
“Have I—boo hoo—cleared my char
acter ?” he asked.
“Yes—yes—you are an honest man.”
“Shall I leave you all my clothes ?”
he inquired as he dropped a suspender
off his shoulder.
“No—no—no I”
“Well, I will go out. I will take
along the fried cakes and custard-pie as
mementos of this occasion, and 1 will
go out feeling that you appreciate
me.”
“Yes—l do-I do."
He put on his garments, took up his
provisions, and, as his tears flooded
afresh, he went out, saying :
“Whenever any one wants to break
my heart let ’em call me dishonest in
grate. Good-by.” Detroit Free

An Amusing Incident,
A rather amusing incident is told as
having occurred recently at a church in
Connecticut, not manj miles from Fair*
h !d. The clergyman, it would appear,
desired to call the attention of hi 9 con
gregation to the fact that, it being the
last Sunday of the month, he would ad*
minister the rite of baptism to child
ren. Previous to his having entered
the pulpit, he had received from one of
his elders—who, by the way, was quite
deaf—a notice to the effect that, as the
children would be present that P M.,
and he had the new Sunday School
books ready fot distribution, he would
have them there to sell to all who de
sired them. After the sermon, tho
clergyman began the notice of baptis*
mal service thus :
“ All of those having children, and
desiring to have them baptised, will
bring them this afternoon.”
At this point the deaf elder, hearing
the mention of children, supposed it
was something in reference to his books,
and rising, said :
AH of those having none, and de
siring them, will be supplied by me for
the sum of twenty-fiye cents.”
Capital Ancient
and^Modcrn.
Crucifixion was a very ancient pun
ishment. Ihe Syrians, Jews, Egyp
tians, Persians, and especially the Car
thaginians, used it. But in no part of
the ancient world was this punishment
so generally resorted to as in the Ro
man Empire, where it vas regarded as
the most infamous of deaths. By the
Roman law the wasjscourged
previously to the crucifiixion, either in
the praetorian or on the way to the place
of execution. On his arrival there he
was his garments, and then
either nailed or tied by the hands and
feet to the cross, or, as sometimes hap
pened, only fastened byjropes.—
In order to hasten death, it was the
practice to break the j legs or to pierce
the body of tho sufferer with a spear.
By the Jewish law it was ordained that
the body of the culprit should be re
moved from the cross on the day of his
execution ; but the Romans frequently
allowed it to hang until it dropped
piece-meal to the ground.
Among the Greeks capital punish
ment was inflicted by the regular kill
ing, or as ii the case of Socrates, by
the victim should
bowl of hemlock, which is poisonous.—
The their cul
prits to death, and in Rome certain
criminals were 4 {by.throwing
them from the Tarpeian Rock.
In England, during the middle ages,
death was the ordinaryl/puuishmenc for
all felonies; but if the culprit could
read, he escaped with life on a first con
viction. In the British army and navy,
within the present century, soldiers and
sailors have been literally flogged to
death with a cat o’*nine-tails. Some*
times 1,000 lashes were ordered. The
infliction, though much mitigated, is
still continued in the British mi'itary
and naval service. In the American it
has been humanely abolished within the
last thirty years
During the first French revolution
what was facetiously called “ Republi
can marriages" (where two peisons of
different sexes, bound together by strong
cords, were cast into the river Rhone*
at Lyons and
rages upon humanity.
Formerly, in Scotland, culprits’ heads
were chopped off by the maiden. It
was an old contrivance revived, having
b en used in Persia in early times. In
Italy its name was mannaja , and cul
prit-nobles had the privilege of being
decapitated by it, and a similar iustru*.
tneut had been previously used in Ger*
many. In France, in 1032, a Due De
MontmoreDci had been executed by a
similar instrument at Toulouse, and a
century back the Dutch employed it in
executions. Therefore in October, 1790,
when Toseph Ignace Guillotin, a physi
cian of Paris, proposed to the National
Assembly there the use of the behead
ing instrument which perpetuates his
name, be only improved on an old
idea.— Troy Times.

Andrew Jackson's Duel.
The duel between Andrew Jackson
and Charles Dickinson was deadly.—
Dickinson had alluded in public to the
well-known and recorded fact that one
Robards had obtained a divorce from
his wife on account of her “living in
adultery with one Andrew Jackson.”—
Sl.e had already been made Jackson’s
wife, but the offence was deadly. Jack
son sent the challenge. Dickinson was
the most expert marksman in Tennes
see, and Jackson resolved to give him
the first fire.
The place appointed for the meeting
was a long day’s ride from Nashville.
Thursday morning, before the dawn of
day, Dickinson stole from the side of
his young and beautiful wife and began
speedily to prepare for the journey
She awoke and asked him why he was
up so early He replied that he had
business in Kentucky, across the river,
but it would not detain him long. On
parting he kissed her with peculair ten
derness and said, “Good bye, darling,
I shall be sure to be at home to morrow
night.”
He mounted his horse and repaired
to the rendezvous where his second and
half a dozen gay blades of Nashville
were waiting to escort him on his jour
ney. Away they rode in the highest
spiGts, as though it were a party of
pleasure. Indeed, they made a party
of pleasure of it When they stopped
for rest or refreshments Dickinson is
said to have amused the company by
displaying his wonderful skill with the
pistol. Once at a distance of twenty.,
four feet he fired four balls, each at the
word of command, into a space that
could be covered by a silver dollar. It
is said that he had laid a wager of
SSOO that he could hit his antagonist
within half an inch of a certain button
on his coat.
Both parties, with their respective
cavalcades, reached the vicinity of the
ground appointed for the duel lato in
the afternoon. They secured accom
modations at a couple of neighboiing
taverns. It is related that Jackson ate
heartily at supper that night, conversas
ting in a lively, pleasant manner, ar.d
smoLed his evening | ipe as usual. He
retired early, and by daylight next
morning the whole party was up and
in saddle. A gallop of a mile and tho
fording of a stream, which, owing to
its swollen state, it was found necessary
to swim, brought them to the ground
Dickinson and party had already ar
rived. The business at once proceeded
Dickinson’s second won the choice of
position and Jackson’s the office of giv
ing the word. “Both were perfectly
collected,” says Parton. All the po
liteness of such occasions was very
CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 14. 1877.
strictly and elegantly performed. Jack
son was dressed in a loose frock coat,
button and carelessly over his chest, and
concealing in some degree the extreme
slenderness of his figure. Dickinson
was the younger and handsomeer of the
two, but Jackson’s tall, erect figure, and
the still intensity of his demeanor, it is
said, gave him a most superior ancl
commanding air, as he s‘ood under the
poplars on this bright May morning,
silently awaiting the moment of doern.
“Are you ready?” said Overton.
“I am ready,” replied Dickinson.
“I am ready,” said Jacksm.
The word was given.
Dickinson raised his pistol quickly
and fired. Overton, who was looking
with anxiety and dread at Jackson, saw
a puff of dust fly from the breast of his
coat, and saw him raise his left arm
and place it tightly across his breast.—
He is surely hit, thought Overton, and
in a bad place, too ; but no ; he does
not fall. Erect and grim as fate he
stood, his teeth clenched, raising bis
pistol. Overtan glanced at Dickinson,
Annoyed at the unwonted failure of his
aim, and apparently appalled at the aw
ful figure and face before him. Dickin
son had recoiled a pace or two.
“Great God!” he faltered; ‘have I
missed him ?”
“Back to the mark, sir !” shrieked
Overton, with his hand upon his pis
tol.
Dickinson recovered his composure
stepped forward to the peg and stood
with eyes averted from his antago
nist.
General Jackson took deliberato aim
and pulled the trigger. The pistol
neither snapped nor Went off. He look
ed at the trigger and discovered that
it had stopped at half-cock. He drew
it back to its place and took aim a sec
ond time. He fired. Dickinson’s face
blanched ; he reeled ; his friends push
ed toward him, caught him in their
arms, and silently seated him on the
ground, leaning against a bush. His
trousers reddened. They stripped off
his clothes. The blood was gushing
from his side in torrents. The ball had
passed through the body below the ribs.
Such a wound could net but be fatal.
Jackson and his friends immediately
left the field. It was found upon ex*
animation, on reaching the tavern, that
he was wounded. “Dickinson’s aim,”
says Parton, “had been perfect. He
had sent the ball preciselv where he
supposed Jackson’s heart was,heating,
but the thinness of his body and the
looseness of his coat combined to de
ceive him, the ball had only broken a
rib or two and raked the breast bone.
It was a somewhat painful, bad-lcoking
wound, but neither severe nor danger*
ous.
Dickinson died that night.”
A Thrilling Scene.
A writer in the Ledger says : I fiud
it in my scrap book, clipped and pasted
there a score of years ago. Anything
touching the Austrian cavalry had a
charm for me at the time, as 1 was just
home from that part of the world. I
had witnessed the evolutions at drill of
every European nation except the Rus
sian and the Austrians bore the palm.
It is a grand sight—twenty to forty
thousand horses, where each and every
horse understands ihe slighest note of
the bugle, sweeping over the plain,
and changing position like an enormous
machine, guided by an unerring master
hand.
It must be seen to be appreciated
Words cannot produce the picture On
a certain occasion an event transpired
which lent a most thrilling interest to
the military scene. It was a review
held in \ ienua, on the occasion oT the
fifteenth anniversary of the establish
mmt of the military order of Maria
Theresa.
Not far from thirty thousand cavalry
were in line. A little child not more
than four years, standing id the front
row of spectators, either from fright or
some other cause, rushed out in the
open field just as a squadroD of hussars
came sweeping round from the main
body. fi hey had made the tour for
the purpose of saluting the Empress,
whose can iage was drawn up in that
part of the ground.
Down came the flying squadron,
cha ging at a mad gallop—dowu direct
ly upon the child. The mother was
paralyzed, as were the others, for the e
could be no leseue from the line of
spectators. The Empress uttered a cry
of horror, for the child’s destruction
appeared to be inevitable—and such a
terrible destruction—the tramping to
death by a thousand iron hoofs.
Directly under the horses feet was the
little one—another ios’ant must seal its
doom ; when a stalwart hussar, who was
in the front line, without slacking his
speed or ioosening his hold, threw him'
self over by the side of his horse’s
neck, seized and lifted the child, and
l:fted it in safety upon his saddle bow,
and this he did without changing bis
pace or breaking the correct alignment
of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices hailed with rap
turous applause the gallant deed and
other thousands applauded when they
knew. Two women there were who
could only sob forth their gratitude in
broken accents— the mother and the
Empress.
Aud a proud and happy moment
must have been for the hussar, when
the Emperor took from his own breast
the richly encircled Cross of the Order
of Maria Theresa, and hung it upon
the breast of the gallant trooper.

A Doubtful Honor.
It was while the zealous and fervid
Maffitt was preaching through the
Southwest, awakening the impressible
of all classes to various degrees ot re
ligious emotion. A gentleman well ad
vanced ii years, and the owner of many
slaves, lying at the point of death, call
ed a .faithful old negro to his bedside.
Perhaps, in that hour, the inspiration of
the master touching the condition of
the spiritual life was not much in ad
vance of the inspiration of faith of the
slave. Csesar had been his atfcen lanl
and ever-ready helper through long
years in the past, and who should say
what might be their mutual relations
in the future ? It is not at all improb
able that some sugh thought was in the
gentleman’s mind when he said :
“Caesar, you have been a true and
faithful servant for man? years, and 1
have resolved to confer upon you a subs
stantial honor in recognition of your
services.”
While the dying man stopped to re
gain his breath the old negro poured
forth many thauks. JTe certainly wou’d
like to be honored ; and yet he sincere
ly prayed that his master might live
much longer.
“No, no, Csesar, I know that I am
going ; but his honor shall be conferred
upon you. I shall leave, in my last will
and testament, the provision that you,
when you die, shall be buried in the old
family vault. Will you not consider
that an honor ?”
“Ah, mas’r,” said the old darkey,
slowly shaking his head, “I don’t care
where dis yer ole body ob mine is
buried. No, no, mas’r, don’t you do no
such t’ing.”
“Why, Csesar, you would not object
to such an honor as that. Think of it:
To be laid away in the old family vault,
where only the masters and mistresses
have been laid heretofore.”
“Ah, mas’r, 1 don’t care for de hon
or. I’d ruv’r have a few dollars in
money. And den, who knows what
may happen one ob dese days when dat
ole chap, wid de horns on his head, an’
de hoof on his foot, comes along. My
golly ! s’pose you and I is boff buried
togedder, an’ dat chap should happen
along in de dark. Whoof! he might
take dis poor nigger >n mistake. No,
mas’r, I don’t t’ink I care for de hon
or.”
Death ot* a Miser.
i
One day last week a middle aged wo
man, calling herself Sarah L B Walk
er, arrived at the Hughes House, Phoe
nixville, and registered from Bridge
port, Conn. She was poorly and
strangely clad, but from her conversa
tion appeared quite intelligent. On
Thursday last she returned to the hotel
after a tramp through the towD, during
which she disposed of a number of
stencil plates. This appeared to be her
occupation. She was suffering severe
ly, and a physician being summoned,
her disease was found to be congestion
of the lungs. She continued to grow
worse from that time till Saturday
evening, when, while sitting on a chair
she fell forward with her face upon a
bed, and being too weak to rise she
thus expired.
Her clothing was found to be very
scanty and filthy, and her person swar°
med with vermin. In her two thin
ragged skirts were sewed up nine bank
books showing deposits in various Con
necticut banks as well as a number of
certificates of stock in the same. A
document was also found showing that
she had paid off a judgment which had
been a lien on a farm willed her by her
mother. These papers show her to have
been worth at least SIB,OOO. The pub
lic authorities of Bridgeport have been
telegraped to concerning the mysterious
woman. — JY. Y. Herald.

Passed Hat.
It was a horrible scar. Commencing
at the roots of the hair, just over the
left temple, it ran down across the face
to the right-hand corner of the mouth.
The flesh had closed together in a ridge,
and the nose seemed to have been
shortened half an inch by the process
of healing. The man with the scar
sang two or three songs, and then passed
his cap around for pennies.
“Did a blow of an Injun’s tomahawk
do that?” he “No sir; I got
that cut down in o!d Virginia, durin’
the war, ’bout the time it looked as t if
Jeff. Davis was the biggest patriot in
the country.”
“You were in the cavalry ?”
“You bet I was ! I smashed up so
many horses that I was owing the Con
federate Government $400,000 when
it collapsed. If she hadn’t collapsed
I'd been forced into bankruptcy.”— N.
Y. Sun.
Driving a Young Horse.
In teaching a young horse to drive
well do not hurry to see how fast he
can trot. Keep each pace clear and
distinct from the other, that is in walk
ing make him wa'k, and do not allow,
him to trot. While trottmg, be care
ful chat he keeps steady at his pace,
and do not allow to slack into a walk.
The reins while driving should be kept
snug ; and when pushed to the top of
his speed keep him well in hand, tliat
he may learu to bear well upon the bit,
so that when going at a high rate of
speed he can be held at his pace, but
do n -t allow him to pull too hard, for
it is not only unpleasant, but makes it
often too difficult to manage him.
How Women Dress iu Persia.
A few women were seen. We met
one si ting astride on horseback, as all
Eatern women ride. Wo believe them
to be women because of their costume
and size ; but we can sea no part of
them, not even a ban 1 or an eye They
are shrouded from the head to the knees
in a cottou or slk sheet of dark blue
or black —the chadder, it is called,
which passes over the head and is held
with the and about the
body. Over the ehudder is tiei around
the head a yaru-long veil of white cot
ton or linen in which before the eyes is
a piece of open work about the size of
a finger, which is their only lookout
and ventilator. The veil passes into
the ehudder at the chin. Every wo
man beiore going out of doors puts on
a pair of trousers, generally of the same
stuff and color of the ehudder, and
thus her ouidoor seclusion and disguise
are complete. Her husband could not
recognize her in the street. In this
costume Mohammedan women grope
their way about the towns of Persia. —
Their trousers are tightly bound about
the aukles above Their colored stockings,
which are invariably of home manu
facture ; and slippers, with no covering
for the heel, complete the unsightly,
unwholesome apparel of these uncom
fortable victims of the Persian reading
of the Koran. The indoor costume of
Persian womeu of the higher class ap
pears indelicate to Europeans. The
ehudder aud trousers are tbe invariable
walking costume. Indoors the dress of
a Persian lady is more like that of a
ballet-girl. In the andeioouss of Per
sian royalty my wife was received by
Princesses thus at ired—ur rather, un
attired.

Anecdote —In tbe days of the rev

casionally “ entertained man and beast,”
remarkable for her unfeeling covetous
ness. One day a wtary and famished
s< ldier called at her house and asked
for refreshment —his appearance indi
cated exlreme poverty —the old lady
thought h.s means not adequate to re
munerate her for a very simple repast,
so she placed before him a dish of bones
which looked as though they bad been
pretty generally picted before, and left
her son to settle with the soldier, when
be had finished their second examina
tion. Tbe boy. pitying tho traveler,
and willing to give his parent reproof
for her parsimony, told his guest upon
rising from the table, that he was we I*
come to what he had eaten and made
him a present into the bargain. In a
short time the mother returned, and
when her son inquired “ Mother, bow
much is it worth to pick ihose old
bones ?” “ A shilling, my dear," said
she, expecting to receive her money.—
“ I thought so,” replied xhe boy, “ and
gave the soldier a shilling for doing it.”
