Dan HiyeleY's ConYersion.

Daniel Hiveley is remembered as having
been about as hard specimen as the saw
ing power of grace ever overcame in the
Ozark country. He was man of great
strength and of wicked temper. The way
in which he became a resident of the
Ozark country illustrated his inclination to
be a law unto himself. 1t is told that in
his young manhood Hiveley was engaged
in boating salt down the Ohio river ana
up the Cumberland to Nashville The
man for whom he was working got behind
with the pay. Daniel thought he was GO
ing to break. He went back for another
load of salt, but instead of delivering it
kept on down the Ohio and the Mississippi
pi until he reached the White, which hs
assembled to the Ozark country. He never
went back, but turned his mechanical gen.
ius to account in building mills.
A powerful revival of religion overcame
Daniel Hiveley, and he ''professed. !"
Some time afterward the preacher who
helped convert Daniel was out in the
woods, when he heard great noise. He
listened and discovered that Brother Hive.
ley was having trouble with a COW that
wouldn't drive. The preacher hid behind
bush. Hiveley came along and Jumped
upon a log to look for the COW, but could
Lot see her.
''D-n you to --r' he shouted Then.
after few moments of silence, he added:
"There, old devil, you have got one more
oath out Of me. Take it and go To"

A SENSIBLE VERDICT.
What the Storekeeper Would Call q Man
Under Certain Circumstances.

SAASsA~Acse.A~~>S'
They were talking about stealing, and
the bank president said: "No system will
prevent man who handles large sums of
money from grabbing some of it, but a
system of embezzlement is different and is
very likely to be discovered in short time
Here we allow clerks and tellers to alter
nate at the desks, so that each man acts as
a check on his predecessor. This scheme
is in vogue in nearly all banks and gives
general satisfaction but of course If there
is thief in the house he is going to steal
1t reminds me of a story about a fellow
who came to the city and after getting
along in business for a number of years
went back to his native village in New
York. There he called ON the old store
keeper with whom his folks used to trade,
and after inquiring how business was he
asked:
"'Mr Perkins, what system of book
keeping have you used in the store!'
"The old fellow replied: ooh, we'll, you
know, have no use for any books. buy
for cash and sell for cash and don't keep
any books.
"'Well,' the Chicago man said, 'how
many clerks have your
"Oh, three or four
"'Well, what is to keep them from
cheating and robbing you?
"Oh, nothing. They put oil the mon
ey in the cash drawer, and take it out at
night and put it in my pocket"
"Oh, that's no way to do business, said
the Chicago man. You ought to keep
books and have system and know just
what your clerks are doing
1.-THE old fellow said he would think 1t
over, and a few days later he met his
young friend and said 'Oh, say, got that
book business Of yours, and it's all right
I'm much obliged for the idea. They
can't cheat me now
"'Well, how do you do it?'
"Oh, I've got a book for each clerk
and cash drawer for each one, and every
time he sells anything he puts it down in
the book and puts the money in the draw
er, and at night foot up the book and the
cash has to be the same"
"'Well, the Chicago man protested,
what is to prevent the clerk from selling
something and not putting 1t down in the
book and pocketing the money!
"The old man looked at his questioner
minute or so as if this thought had not
occurred to him, and finally he drawled
out, Well, a man who would do that
would be a --thief. buffalo Express.

Words That Are Needed.

The inaugural address of Gov. Bradley
of Kentucky, is one which does credit to
him. 1t is manly and statesmanlike.
1t shows as clearly as an inaugural ad
dress may show, that the state has made
no mistake in choosing him for its ief
executive. A noticeable feature of this
address is its fearlessness. Especially is
this noticeable in that part which re-
fers to lynchipgs.
Kentucky, though not the storm centre
of mob violence, is in need of such words
as these, and the knowledge that the
authority of the state is back of them:
Above all things, the constitution and
laws within its spirit must be enforced
Every citizen shall be protected In life,
liberty and property at whatever cost. l
solemnly appeal to the people in every
locality, and to the officers of the state

forcement of the law

So says Mr.. John William Tyler of 81
East Monroe street. The pioneer Of the
millions who now fit on wheels all over
this broad continent isa middle aged man,
well built, with dark hair and eyes. In
early life Mr.. Tyler was gymnast. He
is now jeweler. During his apprentice
ship as jeweler he was reader of mag
azine, in which he one day came across a
paragraph which interested him very
much. 1t dealt with the Improvements
made to the bicycle, or velocipede, as il
was then called, by the brothers Hanlon,
who were surprising Paris by their exploits
on the new machine.
At this time the riding of a bicycle was
considered rather as gymnastic exercise
to be undertaken only by the very skillful
Thus it appeared to Mr.. Tyler, and he at
once ordered velocipede from the adver.
tised manufacturer in New York, who had
purchased the patent from the Hanlons
Said Mr.. Tyler:
After having waited about three
months the velocipede came at last. II
came C. o. d., with a bill for 900 and a let
ter from the manufacturers stating that
had given them their first order, and the
cause of the long delay was their not being
ready to manufacture. From the illustra
ton of the machine l thought it would
cost only SO or $15, and was not ready
to pay 500 A friend, however, came to
my relief and paid the bill, telling me

"The President stands in the midst of a
strong, self confident, often times violent
people, men who desire to have their own
way, who need TO have that way fre-
quently INSTRUCTED. l tell you plainly
that it takes real man to govern the
people of the United States.
One can scarcely believe it, but the
above sentences are those reported by the
English press from n speech on public
platform in England few months ago,
the speaker being no less a parsonage
than Thomas +. Bayard, who by the
grace of his lord and sovereign, Grover
Cleveland, and the pcrmiss sion of the
United States Senate, has been al
lowed to disgrace the Office of United
States ambassador to Great Britain. As
matter of plain justice he ought
to be impeachcd As a matter of du-
ty Congress owes the country it
can do no less than censure him
The only excuse which that brilliant
Democratic congressman, Amos Cum
mings, when the resolution for i'm
parchment came up in the House,
Tuesday, could offer for Bayard was that
he had done no worse than his master,
the President of the United States. and
that it would be unjust to impeach the
tool and not the instigator.
Anyone who carefully reads the account
of these proceedings in Congress, cannot
fail to get the impression that there were
many Democratic members besides Cum
mings who believed this, whose Amer
icanism was put to the blush at
villifying the people he was sent to rep
resent. The most they had the heart to
do was to vote TO refer the resolution of
censure to a committee and their votes
were manifestly cast rather because of a
sense Of fealty to party than from sense
of duty to their country. In effect Bayard
stands disgraced in the eyes of large
majority of his own political allies. He
has exhibited an un-American spirit in
all his official acts His insulting words
could scarcely have been more inappro-
pirate, more self condemnipg In the
mouth of public official.
He has exposed himself, and stands
revealed in the true light as a senile
sychopsnt without conception of his
duties to himself or to the country he was
appointed to repre- sent, and as lacking
natural loyalty for his native land, the
country which has honored him only to
dishonor itself. If the administration at
Washington were not what it is charged
with being, unqualified, undignified aud
un-American, 1t would have recalled an
ambassador, who, however much he NAV
dislike his own people. dares /,

Ing with the Turkish problem. she
could we'll invoke the cooperation OF
christendom in any move she might
make for the enforcement of civilized
methods in Turkish administration; but
it is evident that she is not disposed to
action. Perhaps she thinks that with a pro-
per amount Of delay, the Turks will finally
and effectually dispose of the Armenian
problem by completing the slaughter
of the people of that race. 1t has been
said, and perhaps with truth, that Ger
many is to blame, in large measure, for
the existing state of affairs. The policy
of Germany, owing to her strained rela-
tions with France, has always been the pol
icy of Bismarck, viz, to maintain friend
ly relations with Russia at all hazards.
Should tho Sultan of Turkey be de
posed, Russia alone, of all the pow
ers, is in position to evoke order
out Of the chaos that would ensuc, and
protect the Christians, missionaries as
well as Armenians, in the various prov
inces of the Turkish domain. Russian
troops are known to be massed near the
Turkish frontier, ready to move at an
hours notice into Turkish territory. No
other power has anything but compare
lively small naval force ready for
such an emergency. OF what avail would
even a combined fleet of forty two vessels
amount to in maintaining internal order
in a nation of nearly 40, 900, 900 religious
fanatics, a large number of whom are
thoroughly familiar with the use of arms?
II is doubtful indeed If the combined fleet
could furnish more than three regiments
of men fully equipped for land service.
Ii is obvious that, under existing condi-
lions, If any immediate attempt is made
by the powers to depose the Sultan, and
take an active part in Turkish affairs, the
laboring oar must, of necessity, fall upon
Russia. Under such circumstances she
would be largely in a position to control the
situation, and it would be strange indeed
il Silo ull iob tdho advantage VI IL
to demand Constantinople as her share
of the spoils. This would be de-
mand that England, who has kept CON
stantly in mind the proper protection of
India, would scarcely be willing to con-
cedc. Indeed it was to prevent this very
thing that England participated in
the Crimean war. Should Russia make
the demand, it would place Germany
in an exceedingly embarrassing position,
On the one side she would be bound
to England by strong ties of family, and
on the other hand to Russia by the die
tates of long established policy deemed
essential to German safety. France would
probably be with Russia in such an emer-
gency. 1t will thus be seen that the way to
action is, from a perfectly selfish stand
point, beset with peculiar embarrassments
to the powers growing out of Russian am
billions. There can be no excuse however,
for the failure to protect the Christians of
Armenia at all hazards and with effec.
tive promptness. This much the powers

intricacies that may, possibly, grow out
of such action, may well be male sub
