THE MILTON MYSTERY.
Singular Ways of the Supposed Victim.



NEW York, Aug 3.-The Star says the
disgraceful story of Louise Heuser of Mil
ton, appears to be romantic bubble which
it has taken but little pricking by way of
investigating to burst completely The girl
was reported to have been stupefed and left
on the doorstep in a nude condition.
Detectives were employed on the case. Re-
spectacle men have been shadowcd and cili-
zens of good character arrested for being
concerned in the outrage. A few years ago
Louisa Heuser resided with Captain Wag-
ner, in this city. She was passionately fond
of reading dime novels and was a curious
compound of romance.
One evening she bought bottle of red
ink and drank it. She nearly died. When
she recovered from the convulsons she
blamed young man at the drug store.
Next she selected family by the name of
Livingstone, and with them she resided in
the capacity of child's nurse until she had
placed herself in very singular situation
some two or three times.
At the request of her sister, now Mrs.
Hasbrouck. a gentleman in Williamsburg
took charge of Louisa. One night, on the
return home of the family, they found her
stripped naked lying on the floor in front of
mirror in strong commissions Help was
summoned and she was brought out of the
fit She averred that there had been men
in the room who had frightfully missused
her.
There was no truth in her story, and she
was sent away. Her sister, who had settled
at Milton took Louisa to her arms, and
things went on very quietly, until it
became time for the semi-occasional con-
vulSion and men in the room.
The scene was enacted over again. DIR.
and Mrs. Hasbrouck have been warned
repeatedly that if they did not cease going
on with the proceedings against DR.. Miller,
Louisas antecedents would be looked into,
and the foregoing is the result

Washington, D. G., June 4.-With re-
ferences to the affair between Represen.
tatives Acklen, Of Louisiana, and Mrs.
Godfry, sister-in-law Of Hon B. A. VIII
lis, OF New York, tha Post Sosday con-
tains a lengthy article, OF which the fol-
lowing portion embraces a fhct not here
tofore made public: Mr. Acklen that
night and the next morning was quite
placidly In attendance upon Congress.
The next day Mr. Acklen and the scan
dalized lady were seen in carriage TO.
gether, and on Thursday night, when he
left home, it is asserted on the best su
thority that the lady, with two other per-
sons, accompanied him in the same hack
to the depot at late hour of the night
On the other hand. Acklen's friends claim
that, being reputed to be very rich and
lavish in his expenditures of money, he
has been made tho victim OF a carefully
planned design, and, unfortunate. through
General Rosser's intemperate zeal aud
garrulousness, has been put at terrible
disadvantage.
They assert, and we might, II It were
necessary, give the best Of means TO sus
tain it, that Acklen was hurried to Louis
lana to arrange his affairs, and as soon
as he gets these his friends, who Is we'll
known duelelist. will AZ once notify Gen.
Rossor to name some gentlemen to rep
resent him, with view to settlement ac-
cording to strict code.
Acklen admits TO have seriously CON-
promised the lady and Processes his will.
ingness to make her the only reparation
in his power. That there are facts not
yet brought to light. and which may new.
be made public, that will materially aid in
turning the tide of sympathy in differ
ent direction is undoubtedly true. In
the first place it is not probable that .
man weighing not more that one hundred
and forty pounds, which is probably in
excess of Acklen's weight, could sue
cessfully assal q woman OF amuch stron.
ger physique and in robust health.
In the next place there can be no
doubt that the two have been most ami.
cably associated together since the Tues
day night Of the occurrence. Acklen
has probably arrived at New Orleans by
this time and will doubtless make his
statement in the papers there. He Is .
personal appearance. 1t is a mistake to
say he is foppish. 1t wonld be nearer
the truth to say he is always elegantly
dressed.
He is not stranger to the duello, hav-
ing brought down his man on the san.
culinary field, and having, besides acting
as principal, been engaged in a number
OF duels as accessory. He Is also repor-
ted to be q crack shot. General Rosser
is also game man. Of powerful mould
and undoubted staying qualities, Acklen
could easly..mark out two men OF his own
size on Rosser's rotundity.
A statement by tho friends Of Acklen
follows this, which contradicks the recent
mention of sensational and unwarren.
ted character az to his behavior to . L.
dy, and says "his version Of the affair 10
entirely corroborated by the lady"

Words of Wisdom.

When you have no observers, be afraid
Of yourself.
People who coae to high words use
low expressions.
1t is easy to preach, but whom It comes
to practising what you preach--aye,
there's the rub!
The true way of forgetting ones own
troubles is TO solace those Of others.
Ladies are like yiolets the more mod
est and retiring they appear, the more
YOU love them.
1t is the work of philosopher to be
every day subdueing his passions and
laying aside his prejdices.
Have nothing to do with any man In
passion, tor men are not like iron, to be
wrought upon when the are hot.
1t is better to wear out than to rust
out. We must not only strike the iron
while it is hot, but strike till it is made
hot.
1t is most mortifying reflection Of
any man to consider what be has done
compared with what he might have
done.
Vanity is our dearest weakness, IN moro
senses than one; man will sacrifice eve
rything, and starve out all his other IN
clinations to keep alive that one.
A great idea may be thus defined :--N
