SAMUEL NJ. JANNEY, minister of the Society
OF Friends, appointed by President Grant tC
the Northern SUPPLEMENTARY OF Indiana fairs
has written letter from Omaha to Friend
in Philadelphia, which is published in late
number of the Friends lnteigencer. The
date Of the letter is 9th month Tor June) Is,
1869. At that time Friend Janney had visited
but three of the agencies those for the Win
nebagoes. the Omahas, and the Pawnees.
With each of the tribes he had held council,
and found them much pleased at having
Friends for their caretakers. They call the
agent Father the Superintendent Grandfather,
and the President Of the United States Great
Father, or Great Grandfather. OF these three
tribes the WinDebaqoes are, Friend Janney
thinks, the best informed, but the most lie
morali2ed the Omahas the most orderly and
viruous, and the Pawnees the most warlke.
The last mentioned arc less civilized than the
others, but they have one redeeming charac
teristic. They do not drink ardent spirits, and
will not allow it to be brought on their reser-
vations. Our sober Friend also has had his
eyes open to female beauty, but sorrowlully
records: 81 have not yet seen a handsome
Indian woman" Nor does ne hold out hopes
of immediate good results from his labors
among tho Indians, though he is confident that
by right treatment and udiclous appliances
they may in time becivlized and ChristianizeG.

BRIDAL GIrrs-0UR SOCIAL BLACK
MAIL.-As things go nowadays, m In
vitation to q wedding is no laughing
matter. Those pasteboard squares,
with their ENHANCEMENT of monographs,
summon us to take part in n great many
absurdities Of custom but, of all these,
the most absurd and burdensome is that
of giving presents. The fact is that
marrying people practice upon all their
friends at the present day n system OF
barc-saced extortion, without giving
them the right to resent or expose 1t.
There is no p~rstence of s%poutanei!y or
sentiment in these gifts ; they are pur-
chased because they must be, and this
the receiver well understands. Tho
exaction upon people Of moderate
means, rating their affections before the
town by the number Of dollars they are
able or willing to invest on the occa-
sion, and Notifying them if the gift be
small, by parading it, with name at
tached, in contrast with the outlay of
weather. friends, is so essentially vul-
gar aud indicate that it is a wonder
how it ever came to be tolerated in any
society claiming TO be refined. The
custom is absurd also, rs well as vulgar
and b~urdensome, when n comes to re-
feet upon it. The matrimonial party
really gains nothing /; for they have TO
repay tho Same in value when the do
nors invite them to n similar occasion,
SO that their gifts are simply loans.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

IN READY COMPLIANCE WITH THE
l terms of q Proclamation issued by the Prcsi-
dent OF the United States, j. the Acting Gov
ernor of the State Of Nevada, do hereby appoint
THURSDAY, the 18th day Of NoySmbcT; 4; D:
1864. as q day OF PUBLIC THANKSGIVING
AND PRAISE.
Looking back upon the events OF the year. we
cannot fail 10 be reminded of the Supreme
Rulers great mercics, as well as OF the inscril'
tablcness Of His ways and whilst we, ~ III
duty bound, should be thankful for the open
handedncss Of a boun;;iM and never falling
Providence, let us humoly acknowledge that
there has been given to US, by the death OF two
Of our State officers, a cause OF great and OPP
pressing grief.
pic to give thanks for the blessings which they
have received, be uttered, unless at the same
time VIC attest our gratitude TO God for His
having seen ut TO spare us from the scythc OF
His dread servantl
Tho harvestS which we seek from the SEED
and the rock have been good. The deserts and
the oascs have yielded a. bountifGlly as We
could reasonably expect.
Our mineral resources have continued 10 sus-
tain their high character; and the tolls OF the
husbandman have been requitcd.
Whilst the earthquake and the flood and the
tempest have been visited upon our neighbors
In other States. and upon the people OF adjacent
countries, we have been graciously shielded
from such grave misfortuncs.
1t should excite the mutual TratulAllOns Oh US
all that the blessings which have belallen the
nation, and which are so gracefully rccitcd by
President Grant, have come upon our country
and Institutions.
These, then. are profound reasons for thank
mlness and the earnest acknowledgment OF the
presence OF Almighty God: and they lend us
irrepressible incentives for heartily a~cccding to
the sentiments set forth In the PrcsiGcnts
Proclamation. And, actuatcd by these good
reasons, l do enioin 1t upon all citizen, to
attest their sense OF dependence upon the great
Creator by giving on the day above designated,
In the churches and at the fire'idc, an earnest
showing Of their faith and OF their sincerity In
such professions as become u collective part OF
n civilization and a people whose mission II IL
to conserve the highest and best interests OF
humanity.
