THE PERSEVERING HICKMAN.

"I like perseverance in a man, even :n a hackman." said Mir Peterson. And there is one particular jehu do- ing business in Washington who pos sesses that quality In the superlativs de gree.
 When I visited the national capital had my mind made up to have not!l- ing to do with the hackmen. so when I stepped off the train and a crowd of these gentry began shouting at me I simply shook my head and passed on- One of them. however. was rot to be easily disposed of.

 Hack. mister? Take you to the Washington monument or the capitol? Only half dollar,'
 Again I shook my head.

 "Still I shook my head.
 ' Arlington and Fort Meyer? Drive you over and back for S2.'
 As before I responded with a shake of my head.

 More head shaking.
 Patent office or state department? Same price as the White House.'
 Another shake
 Mind you. all this time I hadn't opened my mouth or uttered a word, and from the puzzled look on the hack mans face I thought I had him about discouraged. but as I showed past him. thinking to make my escape. his coun- t5nance suddenly frightened. and l heard him mutter:

RADICAL CURE FOR ANARCHY.

We observe that many ministers Of the gospel throughout the country have recently been preaching on the subject of anarchy and as to the best means of supTressing it. It is right. of course for the preachers to teach the doctrine of obedience to law. but we believe that the preachers can accomplish most !u the direction of plotting out anarchy preaching the gospel. The Bible is q book of law. and those who follow the doctrines of the Bible will always be subject to the authorities and obey the laws of the land. as well as the laws of God. If the preachers of this country can succeed in getting all men and wo- men to believe in tine Bible and ob- serve its teachings. anarchy and law lessness of every descrIpti>n will soon be but a name. If there ever was an occasion for the preaching of the gos- pei in its purity and simplicity. 1t Is now- Afler all. the religion of the Bible is the true remedy for anarchism -Richmond Times.
