President Hayes says he will take
ten per cent. of his salary in silver,
with the rest Of the officials. This
great champion of hard money-the
man who wanted "the dollar that

favor, he thinks, in taking five thous.
and dollars of his salary in silver
taking the other forty-fve thousand
in greenbacks-lamp-black and rags.
Hayes pays out his silver at once for
expenses, and therefore it doesn't bur
den his clothes.

1t isa pretty fair way to test a mans
birth and breeding by dining with him
in a public restaurant. II he bullies
the walters and generally revels in an
air Of lordly authority, it is safe to
say that he is enjoying luxury com
parstively unfamiliar to him. The
man who is born to command will al
ways be respected, without any con.
spicuous effort on his part, by the peo-
pie he employs. The man to whom a
position Of authority is something new
and abnormal, may make his subordi-
nstes fear him; but that is all. A gen.
tleman may stand on his head habitu-
ally, and his interiors will not dare to
venture upon an impertinenee; but
shoddy, though encased in the triple
brass Of pomposity, can not cheat the
keen aud certain valuation of the SER
wants eye.

following Is the true history Of il,

said in a speech that Ohio, Kentucky
aud Indiana sent their hay stacks,
corn fields aud fodder to New York
and Philadelphia for sale. WickliGe,
Of Kentucky, called him to order, dc.
claring that those States did not send
hay stacks or corn fields to New York
for sale.
"Well. said Stewart. "what do you
send 2"
"wby. horses, mules, cattle aud
hogs"
"Well. what makes your horses,
mules, cattle aud hogs? You feed II
hundred dollars worth of hay to a
horse; you just animate and get upon
the top Of your hay stack and ride oil
to market. How is it with your cat.
tle2 You make one of them carry
