A Big Turks Justice.

From the Chicago Mail.
Ahmed Veryk Pasha, the Turkish
scholar and Statesman who died a
few days ago, had been ambassador
to Paris and Grand Vizier, and was
the SUBJECT of many pleasant stories.
It is related, for instance. that
when he was Governor OF Broussa .
rich man had judgment pronounced
against him in favor OF poor man.
The latter, owing TO the rich man 9
brides could not obtain execution and
complained to Ahmed Veryk. After
explaining his CAGE, Ahmed saw the
debtor riding up to the conak upon 8
beautiful Arab horse. He ordered
the creditor to sit down, called a
messenger, and whispered TO him.
The debtor entered the room, and
was surprised at the exceptional cor.
dlality of the Paska, who invited him
to sit down, TO take coffee, aud to
converse. Presently when he rose to
leave, the Pasha pressed him to re-
main, and kept him upward of an
hour, until, indeed, messenger
entered the room and placed small
bag on the table before Ahmed.
When the debtor next arose. Ahmed
took the bag from the table and gave
it to him, stating, This is yours.
You owed so much to this poor man.
1 have sold your horse, paid him, and
this is the balance belonging to
you.h

sherman at Mansfield, but the statement tele-
graphed from Mansfield regarding our confer
ence is pure nonsense. While there Is lees
money In the treasury than for many years past,
il is in a comfortable condition Because there
is less money in the treasury, ii follows that
there is more money in the hands of the people,
thus facilitating the conduct of the business of
the country. We are on a gold basis, and there
is no occasion for alarm as to the ability of the
government to maintain this condition. The
secretary has ample power to maintain or in
crease the present reserve OF gold. At present
there is no OCCASION for the exercise of this
power but should occasion rise / would GER
taiuly not hesitate to use IL.
