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 Dress. 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. Pay up your subscription. 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. Wisdom. BY F.

Anecdote —In tbe days of the rev olution, there was an old lady who oc 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.” Domestic Sewing Machine omestic Paper Fashions omestic Underbraider omestic Machine Find’gs OMESTIC MONTHLY.
