How the Turks Pay Taxes.
vienna Letter to n. Y. Herald,

Vienna Letter to n. Y Herald,
The Turkish peasant has a great affec-
ton for the few coins which he saves to
bury in the ground, and here is a story
which was told me ny an eye witness,
illustrative of the obstinacy with which
he keeps possession of them. My in
formant, an English Consul General,
was on a visit to Pacha when peasant
was brought to Judgment for refusing to
pay his taxes. The Pacha nodded to his
guards, and the peasant was thrown
down and beaten, though he cried pite-
ously that he was poor man who had
not plaster, and could not find one to
save his life. This man, said the
Paeha, n'has to be beaten thus every
year" " God bless my soulr' replied
the horrifed Consul General, let me
intercede for him" By all means, !"
regIied the Pacha, politely. The Pacha
waved his hand, and his guards. who
We're thwacking the man as though he
were a carpet, stopped in their work, the
peasants screams ceased and he got up.
But on rising to his feet he made false
step, knocked his head against the floor,
and the precise amount Of taxes due from
him rolled suddenly out Of his mouth.
He had resolved to bear as much beat
ing as he could rather than pay; but If
brought to the last extremity he had his
money in readiness

How A. T. Stewart Treats His
Clerks.


N. Y. Correspondence Baltimore Gazette.
/ had an interesting chat with one
of Stewards clerks, regarding the
business habits Of his wonderful en-
ployer. He tells me that the "Old
Man." as they style him, is at the
store in New York every day at 8
O. clock A. NJ, stays an hour or so,
rides to the wholesale store, and
drops into the retail establishment
again at 80, remaining until 6.
He has q most wonderful memory
and while lie never forgets Ia mis-
take, he is prompt to recognize and
reward those who take an interest
in his business and attend to it with
the care and vim that he considers
it demands. My informant says
that Stewart's is the best retail house
to work for, both as regards pay and
advancement. He quoted numerous
instances in which men had risen by
attention to business. most notably
the present superintendent of the
largest dry goods establishment in
the world. Mr.. Stewart prizes the
services of his former parcel boy so
highly, that, in addition to the splen-
did salary he pays him, he has given
him the title deeds of a house in
New York valued at $4,000. Mr..
Stewart does everything on a grand
scale. as BELTS his reputation. When
the clerks were sent from his New
York store to the Saratoga one. they
had q palace car and sleeping car
for their exclusive accommodation.
They all lodge in one of Stewards
cottages, take their meals at hotel,
and Mr.. Stewart foots the bill. lie
has also on several occasions sent
carriages on Sunday afternoons to
take them out riding.

In Alabama last year one Perrin,
who held at the same time the offices
of Deputy United States Marshal,
United States supervisor of elections
and distributor of government bacon.
was also a candidate for the Legis-
lature, Fearing that the election
would go against him, he went out
into the woods one evening and shot
a hole through his own hat, and
thereupon rushed 20 headquarters
and ordered a squad of Federal
troops to scOur the county in search
Of Kuklux, who. he asserted, had
shot at him. He gave to the troops
blank warrants to arrest such Demo-
Gratis as should seem to them suspi-
eious characters, and in his sworn
testimony on this matter he remark
ed that in fact number of planters
left the county for fear of arrest.
1t looks q little as though Gov.
Ames had been firing a hole through
his own hat. He calls for United
States troops, on the ground that he
is not able to maintain the peace of
the State. It is, unfortunately for
him, an old trick of his. and it looks
little as though he had now tried
1t once too often.

Joe Phillips was an awful story
teller. When a stranger came to his
tavern, if he appeared at all credu-
lous, old Joe would talk long yarn
to some of his village acquaintance s,
but talk at the stranger. A short
time since, a stranger came into his
bar-room with rod, line and other
paraphernalia, when Joe seized a
friend, and startled him by the ques-
ton:
did you hear about that big fish
Colonel P. caught to-day in the
river?'
Stranger pricked up his ears.
"No," said friend.
biggest sturgeon ever caught
anywhere" continued Joe.
You don't say?'
"When l came away" said Joe,
che hadn't caught all of him. though
he had six feet of him ashore =
Gracious !'' said friend, show
much did he weigh?' p
Three hundred pounds, said Joe
with decision. ''And he made nine
barrels of OIL
Nine barrels of OIL" inquired
the stranger, advancing, "did you
say nine harrels?
Yes" said Joe, fiercly. 81 said
nine barrels, is that anything
strange. sir!''
"Oh, no, beg pardon" said stran-
ger, musingIy, "only was thinking
