The leading feature of the Turkish character is obstinacy, says Harper's Round Table. There is only one thing that will induce a Turk to do some thing that, ho does not want to —that is force. When that is applied, or he sees that it is going to he, he gives in. If lie, however thinks the other side is not, in earnest, he will hold out, and sometimes that brings him into trouble. This is the secret, of Turkish diplomacy, and it is that, which gives other countries so much trouble in dealing with Turkey. A foreign diplomatist once remarked that the right way to do business with the Turk was to take him by the throat, give him a good beating, and then tell him to sit down and talk business. This was, however, rather a rough and extreme way of put ting it. An old resident of Turkey I met on the first oc casion I was in the country once gave me the sum of his experience of his dealings with them in the forn of a story 1 did not think at, the time that within a few months I should have a practical illustration of its truth on my own account. But, that is by the way, This is how t lie story goes : An old Turk, whom we will Call Hassan Balm, owed money which lie had borrowed from Abdullah, who had asked sov eial times for its return. As both were mussiilmans, no in terest, was given or taken, be lievers being forbidden by the Koran to lend money to one another on usury. But, Hassan Baba could never be induced to pay back his debt, and at last Abdullah, losing patience, had him up before the cadi, or judge. “Von owe the mone\ r ,” said the cadi. “It is even so, Effendim,” replied the debtor. “Then you must pay it back,’ exclaimed the caili, “or I will have t<> sentence you.” “Be it so, Effendim, I do not pay,” replied the obstinate old man. “Then I sentence you to pay tin' money, and if you continue in your refusal, <>li, Hassan Baba, I give you the choice whether you will take twenty five strokes of the bastinado, or eat a whole string of onions, or pay the money. In the name of the Merciful One, I condemn you. ” “tnsulluh, Effendim! I will take the twenty-five strokes of the bastinado.” The executioner of the court and his assistants were called in, and Hassan Balia having Been thrown upon the floor and his feet fastened, soles upper most, to the pole by two men. the executioneer proceeded to lay on. But before the twenty five strokes had been adminis tered Hassan Baba began to cry out lustily. “11l tile name of the Most Merciful, oh, cadi, giv-- the or ders to cease, and I will eat the string of onions!” So, mi tlx' command of the cadi, he was let down, and a man was sent out to the market place for u string of onions. When, he got back with them, llassuh Baba set manfully to work t > eat the onions, but be fore lie had got to the end of them his stomach refused to go any further, and lie cried out: “Let it- be as you say, oh, cadi! 1 will pay the money.” Then undoing thegirdle which In- hud round his waist, he pro duced the pieces, which lie counted out to Abdullah before the cadi. “That,” said my friend, “will give you u better idea of the character of the Turk than any thing 1 can think of. He will take a heating, he will eat the onions, and he will pay the money after all.” THE MOVABLE CARRIAGE WHEELGCARD.

Mr. Kipling has again dem onstrated his genius, in and through his story, “.007,” pub lished recently in Scribner’s Magazine. The story is that of a number of railway locomo tives, with No. “.007,” a ma chine just out of the hands of the builders, as the hero of it. “.007” was forced to do drudge work for a time, Imfc finally graduated into I he class of mi le a-minute llyers, pulling “Pur ple Emperor,” “White Moth” and other fancifully named limited express trains. Upon becoming a member of t lie fra ternity, the new engine was taught the song of the fast fly ing locomotive, as follows: With a miclmai—ghignai—sell tingal! Yah! Yah ! Yah I Fin—zwei—drei—mutter, Yah! Yah! Yah! She climbed upon der shteeple I nd she frighten all der people Siugin’ miclmai —ghignai—sell- tingal! Yah! Yah! Yah! We submit that it requires genius, and that of a very high order, to get anything like the foregoing out of the whirr and rattle and roar of the high-speed locomotive when it is burning up the miles at the rate of sixty to the hour. It is not to be denied, of course, that railway locomotives have a language of their own, and that they say things and sing songs as they skim the earth. Every travel er, and every small boy who has haunted the switching yard, knows of this language, mid has interpreted it to suit individual fancy. For instance, an old la.lv of Springfield, told about in the Republican newspaper of that city, was sure she knew precisely what the locomotive which carried her home from Boston was singing about’. In Boston she had visited the pan orama, mu! all the way back to Springfield the locomotive din ned into her ear— Panorama panorama Panorama panorama Panorama panorama Panorama panorama There are boys that frequent the railroad yards in this city who are quite w illing to qualify to the fact that when the Au gusta train leaves the shed its song is— Two cold biscuit and a cup of coffee; Two cold biscuit anil a cup of coffee — And we have beard it said that there is one engine on the Flor ida run which is habitually pro fane and has a grudge against the colored race. Whenever it pulls out, so the story goes, it begins— % Dammit nigger, damnia nigger, Dumma nigger, damnia nigger, which imprecation it keeps up steadily all the way to Jackson ville and back again. These interpretations, we submit, are more reasonable and expressive than that of Mr Kipling. He would have us believe a good, American built locomotive sings meaningless dogger re I in a low-Dutch patois. We think the engines are too intelligent and patriotic to do any such thing. Let the reader attempt to apply Kipling’s verse to the hum of the next mile-a-minute train comes along, and judge if we are not right, Mr, Kipling received $1,500 for the story, the rate per word being 20cents. It takes genius to do thinas like that!—Savan tiuh News. DOG SMOKES CIGARETTES. Denver has a dog that smokes cigarettes. He is u cocker spaniel and lives in a cigar store.

I CLOSING EXERCISE-5 OF UNION ACADEMY. Editor Hkkai.d: Please nl low me space in your vnluahh columns to speak a few word relative to onr school at Union Academv, our teach-r and his teaching. I shall he very brief in my writing. On Friday, September nth. j was a sad day with the pupils of our school to have to have to part with tliejr dear school mates and teacher. The school closed in a very orderly way, as was dictated and arranged by our teacher, .J. P. Hadawav. The patrons and citizens were all invited to attend at the close of the school to witness the great work that was doing and that had been done Fii day afternoon a goodly number of ladies and gentlemen as sembled at the school building to enjoy the exercisee of the evening. Our program was ns follows: First after dinner, a short ex amination (or rather a review) on arithmetic, after which a number of noble speeches were delivered by the hi iglit-faced boys and girls of the sdiool, which gladdened the hearts ol | the parents to see their children progressing so admirably. I wish to call attention to one I of these speeches which was de livered by master Walter Sex ton, which was very appropriate to the occasion, and causal tin pupils to almost burst into (tears, after which the sam piece was sung by Hie school the music having heTKi written try one of the students.

After the speaking 11n- se||o<- ; inarched, making Lends am (beautiful curves without mak ing a hobble, but keeping the step and in line all Hie way (through, which was a-tonish ing to the eyes of the specta tors. The school marched in a ring and received a nice treat bestowed by our good-hearted teacher, after which the school was dismissed, ai d all returned home in as orderly way as’they come. When Mr. Hadaway took charge of the school here it was small, but by a resolution to advance rather than retrograde and by perseverance ihe growt h was rapid, and at the end of the school lie had enrolled some thing upwards of sixty schol ars. All his rules were bastd upon two small words, do iikhit. By his kindness and wmningdispo sition lie soon gained the alfee tiou of all his pupils, so that corporal punishment was *“1- dom uetessary; but when it was necessary it was executed with love and kindheartedu-ss to ward tlic pupil. His teachings were all famii iar. Perseverance was one ot bis great teachings. He, like Capt. John Smith to the In dians, taiigtt his students that “self reliance and industry were the sur< st guarantee to fortune. He also taught them to lie honest in their plays; that a had habit once formed in plays would he most sure to tie carried out. in dealings in after life. Also not to lie selfish, blit to observe the golden rule. The escence of selfishness is sin, as you may plainly see hy taking the liisl letter of each syllable. These are but few of his teach ings, hut 1 shall not attempt to ment ion any more. Our songs on these themes will dwell When we think of t he past; And the beaut ious visions of our sthool days Will di-ath'essin memory last We hope Mr. Hadaway will remain with us another year, for we feel that the institutions of free common schools and noble Christian hearted teach era are a blessing to our coun try, ami 1 thank God for these blessings.

Napcleon said that the no blest woman in France was she who bore most sous.' He wou'd he disgusted if lie were in France now. The birth rate and the death rate of that country are about equal. This condition has alarmed French statesmen and several of them have proposed plans to stimu late the birth rate. An associat ion has been or ganized with the object of in creasing the population of France by putting a premium on births. It presents a plan which is highly commended by some of the most influential French newspapers and which seems to he the most practical method of increasing the birth rate yet offered. It is proposed to enact a law reducing taxation 'n proportion to the number of children in the taxpayi r's fam ily; the imposition of a surtax in the case o r families where there are more servants than children; and tie' eduent ion and •are of all children over six in my one family at tie public ex- pense. The middle class and the peasantiy < f France are notably thrifty and it is from them that the population must be mainly recruited. The inducement of reduced taxation in proportion to the number ot children in a amily would probably have considerable effect, and it is probable that it will he offered. GRANT AND (K’HILTREE.

While the dories are out the captain, with the aid of the cook, handles the ship and keeps his weather eye on the horizon.
