The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1877-01-25

Again we cali the attention of our
readers to the advertisement OF Dan
iel f. Beatty, Esq, of Washington,
n. j., of his Pianos and Organs. The
reputation of Mr. Beatty as q manu-
facturer Of instruments is very SUBJ
stantial; he takes great pains with
their construction, selection of mater
ial, and efficient and trustworthy em-
ployees, their various departments be-
ing arranged for service, and not fer
artificial purpose: They contain not
the slightest intrigue, but are SUBJ
stantially and perfectly arranged in
their various departments, he having
for his fundamental aim, Durability,
and perfect richness of tone. See his
advertisement in another column.

The Memphis Carnival.

Accompanied by boreal blasts,
struggling snow fakes and occasional
glimpses of sunshine, a feet-winged
messenger last Monday brought or
ders to us from His Majesty, the King
of the Carnival, to report at Memphis
on the 18th proximo, where he will
receive in more magnificent splendor
than ever before. We give below
the Avalanche's very good descrip>
ton of the unique invitations sent OUT
As the mysteriously delivered fav-
ors of the Sublime Ouro have hereto>
fore conveyed suggestion of the rep
resentation attending his entree into
his favored city, it may be conjecturd
from the exquisite design and beauty
under consideration that the coming
Carnival pageant will be one of un-
precedented splendor. The design
and suggestions of this latest missive
which is in four tablets, attached
by a gol1en cord-are strikingly Or
iental, but to what particular portion
of the Orient it refers, is known only
to those within the circle. In the
prominence OF the color green there is
suggestion of Persia, but the head
of royal elephant on each side sug-
gests India. Perhaps the sacred white
elephant of Siam is intended. In
three or four coronets is brilliant
water scene that may belong to the
Ganges, the Hindus, the Euphrates
or the Cumbodia. Perhaps there is
a reference to the streams of the Val
ley of Cashmere so beautifully de-
scribed in Moore's enchanting story of
Lallah Rhook. There are dusky fig
ures in various attitudes, three of
them in a position of devotion under
royal chambra, and in the midst ap-
pears a figure of god or it may be of
geni. Below, resting on the back
of turtle as ancients supposed the
world to rest, is the figure of another
deity, grotesque but terrible. The
well known shield and seal of the Mys-
tic Memphi is also prominent fea>
ture of the face of the tablets, on
which are other suggestions of the
sacred Nile. The backs of the tab
lets bear hieroplyphics unreadable
and indescribable. The whole is
unique and striking and tells at once
the story of magnificent display by
the Mystic Memphi, on the night Of
the approaching Carnival, in Mem
nh;s.

Scribuers for February.

The February Scribner opens with
the third of the occasional papers on
outdoor sports" announced by the ed
itors in the November number. The
writer is Edward Seymour, and the
subject, "Trout-Fishing IN the Range
ley Lakes" The second part of Gen>
eral McClellan's "Winter on the Nile"
contains well-written description of
the passage of the Cataracts, with
sketches and pictures of Nubian life.
A third illustrated paper is a sympa>
thetic study by E. S. Nadal, of that
delightful writer, white, of Shell
borne" There is also a popular
science article on "The Microscope
among the Flowers" by Mrs S. B.
Hcrrick, with drawings by the author,
who describes the agency of insects in
the fertilization of flowers, and tells
why it is unhealthy to keep flowers in
a bedroom at night. Of the unillus-
trated papers, We note "a Morning
with julius Benedict" by Kate Field,
containing "reminiscences of Weber,
Beethoven and Paganini; "Tradi-
tional Music of the French Pyrenees"
with scores hitherto unpublished, },
by Nena Sturgis; " Farragut in No
bile Bay" by Henry Baldwin GLOW
do | know what is the Bible?' by Try
on Edwards; a story by Boyesen,
How Mr. Storm met his Destiny" "
and the first half of a new novelette,
in two parts by SAKE Holm, Farms
er Baseett's Romance" affirmed to be
the best story yet written by the mys-
terious author (Or authors).

Advertising,

The Humboldt papers get after the
business men of that town for not sup
porting their home journals, and says
they actually send eff to have work
done. Our Milan merchants do little
better than that; they have their work
done at home; but, to judge by our
advertising columns, one would think
there were not half dozen merchants
in town. Gentlemen, property own
els, if there is not more advertising
done, people at distance will think
Milan is only a little way station. We
copy the following from an exchange;
Nothing is more characteristic of
our our modern life, than the extent
to which advertising is used as medi-
UNI between individuals and the pub
lie. A stranger in a town, large or
small, by looking over the advertise
ments of the local paper, can form a
very correct idea of the place. If the
advertisements are few, and have the
appearance of being standing he is
quite safe in concluding that he is in
one of those slow-going, dead-and-alive
places, that were finished some years
ago, and that the people are of a kind
that know little about change, whether
social or financial. On the other
hand, if the advertisements appear
fresh, brief, and snappy, if it only be
to announce the fresh arrival of salt,
fish, or new invoice of clOthes>pins,
it is fair to infer that the paper is pub
lished in wide-awake community.
1t is not necessary to enlarge upon
the advantages-to the individual who
speaks, and to the many who are

Shot I'm the Leg.

Mr. NJ. w. Campbell, blacksmith
at Holt's shop, got shot in a painful
manner last Thursday. A negro had
brought in a shot gun to have mend
ed, saying it was not loaded. The
brcech-pin being tight, it was heated
in the fire in order to get it out, when
the gun was discharged, the load en-
tering Mr. Campbelrs leg, above the
knee. The wound is not dangerous.

A Word 10 NessoaSsts.

The Southern Methodist Publishing
House, at Nashville. is in an embar-
raised condition, owing to the contin-
ued hard times. The house needs
about $50, 600 cash right noU 10 save
it from ruin. The Agent reports real
estate and other assets to the amount
of more than 100000 above liabil>
tiles, which will all probably be Sac
rifced if the money IS not raised. The
small sum of twenty-five cents from
each member Of the church will pay
the debt, and it is proposed to raise
that amount in February. There are
some one hundred snd fifty Metho>
dists in Milan, and they csn raise
more than their pro rata. We believe
they'll do it, too. If the head of ev-
cry Methodist family here would only
subscribe for the Advocate, Zone Of
the best religious papers in the coun-
try, we think the pro rata of this
congregation would be raised. Meth
odists, will you pay this debt, or suf-
fer the disgrace of seeing your prop
erty sacrificed? Every member of
the Church is interested. The prop
erty belongs to the Church, and is not
an individual enterprise. Besides
this, if you owe the. house anything,
pay it at once. We suppose the pas
tor here will take up this collection
Immediately.

We Must Act as a Unit.

Wo regret that Senator Gary saw
tit in the Senate, q few days since, to
oppose tho Administration in re-
gard to the election of chief Justice.
Senator Gary stated strong personal
reasons why bo should not support
Judge willard, and of this we have
nothing to say. But at tho present
time, as the Democratic party has
not yet seated itself firmly in power,
1T is too early for divisions to spring
up among it's component clements.
Tho party must continue to act as it
has acted since the August Convcn-
ition, as a unit The Senator's OK
pressed determination That ho will
under no circumstances support
Judge Willard, is IN intimation that
no will not he bound by tho will of
tho majority. Tho only safety of
tho party sios in caucus, and the
people who compose tho party de-
mand that for the present their rep~
resentatives shall lay aside all per-
sonal feelings for the common good.
Judge Willard Was by no means
our choice for chief justice. But
parties in whom we place implicit
reliance for sagacity seom to believe
that tho elevation of Judge Willard
Is tho proper course to pursue, and
wo defer in Judgment to thom. We
agreo with Senator Gary IN the
general proposition that one branch
OF government should not dictate to
another. But this is special case,
and we feel assured that Governor,
Hampton would not have indicated
aproferonce for Judge Willard were
At not that he deems his election abso-
lutely necessary for the success OF
tho governors policy. 1t is not
certain yet that Judge Willard will

be tho candidate of tho Democrats.
But we demand, for the people, that
the Democratic members of the
Legislature enter into caucus and
select candidate, and then solidly
support the porson indicated by tho
caucus.
Senator Gary is able to accomplish
much for the State. Wo trust that
he will reconsider his determination
and resolve to act with tho Admins
tration and the majority of the
party.
