Professor Greasy, whose history Of the
ottoman Turks from the beginning Of
their Empire TO the present time has re-
Gently been rcpublished, gives the fol-
lowing romantic account III the first ap-
pearance Of the race on the stage OF ac-
ton: about six centuries ago pas
toral band Of 400 Turkish families was
journeying westward from the upper
streams Of the Euphratcs. Their armed
force consisted Of la horsemen; and
their leaders name was Ertoghrul.
which means The Right Hearted Man
As they travelled through Asia Minor
they came in sight Of a field Of battle,
on which two armies Of unequal num-
bers were striving for the mastery.
Without knowing who they were, The
Right Hearted Man took Instantly the
chivalrous resolution to aid the weaker
party; and charging desperately and
vigorously with his warriors upon the
larger host, he decided the fortunes Of
the day. Such, according TO the ORR
entail historian Neschri, is the first re-
corded exploit Of the Turkish race,
which from Ertoghrul's son, Gilman,
has been called the nation Of the Otto
man Turks"

Small things sometimes startle CON-
munities. Winthrop, Me-, received a
shock last week. The clock on the
steeple of the Congregational Church
had been out Of repair for 40 wears. The
hands on the weather-beaten dial had
during that time recorded the rising and
setting Of the sun at a quarter of 6. The
moon and stars had appeared in sum-
mer and winter at 5:45: the COWBOYS
had closed the pasture bars behind the
plump Jerseys at ID minutes Of g.; the
farmer had shouldercd his scythe and
started for the field at As minutes past
q; the church bells had rung to service
at . :45 o'clock-all this for 40 years.
Who wonders at the effect, then, when
one day last week the ancient hands
were seen to move ahead half an hour?
That incident was what stirred the
blood Of this village, and sent
the old maids and matrons flvinc
from house to house to relate death pre-.
monitionS Of ten years past, and pre-
dict some awful calamity for the village.
The stories Of the antics of old kitchen
clocks were again repeated, and the
younger people listened with saucer
like eyes and wondered if the tops Of the
mountains were going to
slide over and bury the village, or
whether the great pond was abont to
burst from its bed and carry the whole
place down stream. Philosophical old
farmers scratched their heads and tried
o figure out the problem by reasoning
hat some large bird might have rested
on the hands, and so have caused the

'ount for the short hand, for weight

Especial to the Chicago Times, 18TH
Senator Davis OF West Virginia 10 day in
troduced resolution asking that inquiry
be made as to certain discrepancies and al
terations in the official statements OF the
Treasury Department, occurring between
the years 1863 and 1871, and remaining un-
changed up to the latest official statements.
Mr. Davis introduced the same resolution
two years ago, but II was voted down BY the
Senate. An examination OF the Official
statement shows that discrepancies unques-
tionably exist, and one Of the objects Of the
investigation Is 10 discover why the altera-
tions were made. These alterations involve
very large amounts, in one instance reach
ing hundred million OF dollars. OF these
Mr.. Davis says he can point out upward OF
nifty, all being made between the years 1863
and ls71...... His resolution was ordered
printed and tabled. Mr.. Davis says il is his
intention at reasonable day TO call up the
resolution and press its passage. He said
ne had no disposition to make political capi-
tai ont OF i, and thought, this being what Il
called " an of year." the investigation could
be rendered without smell Of politics.
