THANKSGIVING DAY.


Tomorrow is the day set apart By the
President of the Uaiisd States and the
Governor Of Nevada, with the usual
form of published proclamation, as q
grand day of general thanksgiving and
prayer. Il is a time-honored custom in
which we have delighted from our earli-
est sppreciative boyhood up, and one
which we hope to assist in the obserV-
snce Of for many a long year to come.
Human nature is never too ready to ac-
knowledge, appreciate and be duly
thankful for past or present favors,
whatever may be the source whence
they may emanate ; therefore 1t is In.
deed a good and thoughtful idea thus to
remind and invite all to be thankful at
least once a year.
Are there any among US SO totally
blind and unappreciative as to reck-
lessly consider that they have nothing
particularly to be thankful 'for2 II
there be any such, the sooner they com.
NIT suicide the better. This article is
not intended for any such to read. The
truly thankful are those who fully ap.
preciate small favors and are proper.
tiouately thankful for larger ones. Life,
health and happiness are three Of the
first blessings, among the thousand.
which are daily showered upon US IN.
asked, by an ever watchful and kind
Providence. True contentment and
happiness does not consist in wealth
and high estate, and tomorrow there
will be many a toiliug p%rospector out q
White Pine, and other wild and unreg'
ulated localities, who will feel as keenly
thankful over his well relished meal o.
s.ewed beans and fap.jaeks, as will th'
richest millionaire in America, seated
at his luxurious table, dyspeptically
picking at choice morsels Of roast tur
key, pig, goose, cranberry IL ant
miucs pie. Jack Tar, seated in bis DARK
little ~forecastle home on the rolling
deep, is no less thankful and jolly TO-
morrow over his festive allowance o.
plum duff" with not a cent in hi
pocket, than William B. Astor, with al
the Injuries unlimited wealth may pur'
chase, at his command. Even printeri
are supposed to have some %unspecihed
cause for thaukfulness sometimes.
BY oil means let us all be truly, duti
fully and appreciatively thankful to
morrow for the manifold and ~unceasinl
blessings vouchssfed US by the grea'
and good Father Of the Universe, ant
rs We assemble before the holy altar, o,
around the festive board, lot u

A LOCOMOTIVE and full-sized train 10
the latest novelty introduced in an
English thester. A London paper says
that it is not generally understood how
the all.alive, full-sized traid passed
along the stage in the great sensational
scene. The other night, at the Surrey
Thsater, the audience were enlightened.
The .ugiue met With an obstruction in
the middle Of the stage, stopped dead,
and the following carriages and tender
rushed on with the momentum, and shot
one AFTER the other into the engine, and
closed up like a telescope. It was quite
business.
