The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-04-05
Philosophic Perseverance.

1t may have been mentioned before
that the Detroit boot-black is as perse-
vering as he is inconsistent. He will
stop a pedestrian in shower, just as
soon as on pleasant day, and he will
"bone'' a man with broken leg as
soon as one standing on the corner.
Yesterday, during the oft-repeated per-
formance entitled a Little More Rain,
one of these boys, hunting up and down
Griswold Street, accosted a pedestrian
with the usual query and received de-
cided "no" between the eyes. Five
minutes afterward the boy again met
the man and the same query received
the same answer. In quarter of an
hour the two met again, and the boy
inquired:
"Won't you have a shine, sir?''
"No, sir, 1 won'tl" answered the
man, but the perseverance of the boy
touched his heart. He went into the
street and plastered his boots with mud,
took measures to meet the boy again,
and was promptly asked if he would
have shine. .frT
"Yes, 1 WILL" he answered, and he
stood in the center Of the muddy street
and told the boy to go to work.
"That's leetle Irregular" unused
the astonished boy as he unslung his
box, "but if Washington could stand
Valley Forge L reckon can take in
this"
He went down on his knees in the
mud, pat on the best shine he could,
and he seemed no way put out as he
dropped the nickel into his vest pocket
In fact he explained to the crowd:
"You see, if 1 was treadin' around on
velvet carpets all the time I'd soon get
above my business and become a fatal
wreck of boot-black."

An Infamous Crime.

A little after 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon a disheveled, frenzied woman
rushed out of the hallway of No. LAG
Houston Street, and ran to drugstore
in the neighborhood. One hand cover
ed her left cheek, but traces of hide
Gus scar underneath we're seen, and as
she moved along she seemed to be suf-
fering great pain. The physician to
whom she fastened saw at once that
the unhappy creatures face had been
saturated with vitriol, which had been
roughly rubbed into the flesh, and the
virulent fluid had eaten its way almost
to the bone. He rendered what assist
ance he could, and the woman sought
the residence of some friends, from
whom the story of her mishap reached
the station-house.
Heloise Pickard is her name and sew
en- years ago she was married to Alfred
Pickard, by whom she bore a child.
He had once been kind and attentive
but in time he became quarrelsome,
suspicious and at times abusive. Nine
months ago he abandoned her and went
to France, taking their child with him,
and since that she had heard nothing
of him. Driven by necessity to work
for her living, she sought employment
and was engaged in place in Fourth
Avenue, where her husband came the
other day and inquired for her. He
was given her address, went to her
house and has been living there since.
He seemed, however, to have in no way
bettered his temper during his absence,
and at once began to accuse her of
imaginary infdelities, and even to
threaten her life. This alarmed her,
and she was afraid to take her rest
while he was near her. Yesterday, how
ever, she fell asleep on couple of
chairs and was awakened by feeling her
hands roughly grasped. She tried to
start up, but found that her husband
had fastened her to the chairs.
She attempted to cry aloud, but he
seized large butcher knife, and with
the point at her breast, told her that
any word above her breath would be
the signal for him to strike. He then
took from the stove red hot poker,
and standing over her he cried:
"Your cursed handsome face has
done too much harm already. I'll see
that it does no MORE" Then, sudden
ly recollecting himself, he cast the
poker aside, muttering: "No, they
might arrest me for that. 1 will take
as sure way but safer one"
At this he produced vial of vitriol
and with a rag rubbed it upon the soft,
yielding flesh. She shrieked in agony,
but he crushed pillow over her mouth
and drowned the cutlery. Then he left
the room, saying, "I'm done now.
You're disfgured for life, curse you"
For few moments she lay in dread
full pain, but struggling up she burst
her bonds and hurried into the street to
physician. On the casee being re-
ported at the Seventeenth Precinct sta
tion-house, Captain Mccullough mott
fed his officers of the occurrence, and
they expect to have Pickard before
morning. -NeW York Herald.

Sam Houston Under Reprimand.

A large, fine looking man, of COM
manding presence, is the Speaker, and
arraigned before him, in the custody of
the Sergeant-at-Arms, is tall man of
more than six feet, and finely proper
toned in the prime of life, with person.
al advantages scarcely rivaled by any
notable man of his day, dressed in
faultless style, with not the least of de-
fiance or swagger, yet with perfect
ease, sef-possession and calm dignity,
the culprit stands at the bar of the
House awaiting the reprimand which
the House has decreed shall be admin
istered to him by the Speaker.
The House is G study; breath
less silence reigns; the bearing
of the culprit makes sympathy and ev-
cry thing of the sort impossible, while
that of the Speaker makes it difficult In
the extreme for some of the Repre-
sentatiyes to restrain themselves from
violating the decorum of the House by
laughing outright; the Speaker is by
far the most embarrassed man upon the
scene, suggesting the idea that he is
the one to be punished rather than the
one to administer punishment.
In q hesitating, perturbed manner,
he at length tells the culprit that the
House had ordered that he should be
reprimanded before its bar by its
Speaker, and he (the Speaker) begs
him (the culprit) to consider himself
reprimanded according to the said or
der. The culprit bows in a graceful
and digniied, almost lordly manner, an
almost audible smile spreads over the
House, and the scene closes The
Speaker is Andrew Stevenson, of Vir-
gipia, and the culprit is Sam Houston
A member from Ohio, named STAN
berry, we believe, had accused Houston
of defrauding the Government in a
transaction with an Indian tribe upon
the Tennessee border; the latter had
demanded an investigation, but had
been unable so obtain any satisfaction.
Smarting under the charges and
despairing of legal redress, he at last
gave the accuser a severe Gaming with
in the precincts of the Capitol. OF
course, the House could not do other
wise than arraign the Gamer, and a
reprimand was the least penalty it
could adiudge him.-AnericGn Monthly.

How to compose ones self for por-

lowing directions to his customers:
When lady sitting for picture would
compose her mouth to bland and Sc
rene character, she should, just upon
entering the room, say Bosom,n and
keep the expression into which the
mouth subsidized until the desired effect
in the camera is evident If, on the
other hand, she wishes to assume dis
tinguished and somewhat noble bear
ing, not suggestive of sweetness, she
should say Brush" the result of
which is infallible. If she wishes to
make her mouth look small, she must
say /" Flip" but If the mouth be already
too small and needs charging, she must
say cabbage II she wishes to look
mournful she must say kerchunk"
If resigned, she must foreibly calculate
