THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

BY the President of the United States of
America, a Proclamation.
The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion of re-
newed thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty Ruler of the
universe for the unnumbered mercies
which he has bestowed upon us. Album
dant harvests have been among the re-.
wards Of industry. With local excep-
tions, health has been among the bless
ings enjoyed. TRANQUILITY at home,
and peace with other nations have
prevailed. Frugal industry is regain
ing its merited recognition and its
merited rewards gradually, but, under
the Providence of God, surely, as trust,
the nation is recovering from the
lingering results of dreadful civil
strife. For these and all other mer-
cies vouchsafed it becomes us as peo-
pie to return heartfelt and grateful
acknowledgements, and with our
thanksgiving, we may unite in prayers
for the cessation of local and tempora-
ry suiferings, therefore, recommend
that on Thursday, the 9th day of
November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship to
make their acknowledgment to AL
mihgty God for His bounty and His
protection, and to offer up praises for
their continuance.
In witness whereof 1 have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
14th day of October, iu the year of
our Lord 1873, and of the Indepen-
dence of the United States the ninty-
seventh.
Signed by the President,
U. S. GRANT.

There are more Jews in New York
than in Jerusalem, and mora than in
any other city in the world, it is said
by those who have studied their pres.
ent state. M. Mingins says of New
York, "There are more Germans than
in Berlin, more Irishmen than in Dub.
lin, more Catholics than in Rome, and
more Jews than in Palestine" The
census does not give religious statis-
tics, but the number of protesting
Jews residents of this. city has been
approximately estimated by the guam.
tity of Passover biscuits manufactured
for their use. The bakeries produced
on the average for the last decade,
100000 pounds yearly, which, at the
rate of one pound per day for each
adult during the eight days generally
observed, would make number Of
100000 persons. They have an or

An elderly gentleman was recently
"confdenced" on train running into
Keokuk, by sharpers, who induced
him to buy draft (worthless) on Buff
falo for S157.40, he paying them two
| 800 bills, and they paying him $3.50
as change. The conductor on the
train took the first opportunity to
quietly suggest to the innocent old
gentleman that he was afraid the draft
was fraud. "Well," was the bland
response of the imperturable greeny,
"if it is any bigger fraud than my two
one hundred dollar notes were, then
l am not forty-three dollars ahead
which l think ! am. | am not in the
habit of dealing in counterfeit curren-
cy, but always keep a little of that
sort Of stuff about me for the benefit

When a tree stands so that the
longth Of its shadow can be measured,
its height may be readily aseertained,
as follows: Set stick upright-let it
be perpendicular by the plumb line.
Measure the length of the shadow of
the stick. AS the length of its shad-
ow is to the stick, so is the length of
the shadow of the tree to its height.
For instance, if the stick is four feet
above the ground, and its shadow is
is six feet in length, and the shadow
of the tree is ninety feet, the height of
the tree will be sixty feet (6:4: ;90:60).
In other words, multiply the length of
the shadow of the tree by the height
of the stick, and divide by the shadow
of the stick.

tisement TO the following effect says
his curiosity is satisfied: off you

He did send the necessary cash, and
soon received the answer: "If you are
as big fool as We think you must be

make home happy by leaving it and
going West by yourself"
A gentleman, on taking a volume to

Drifting into Monarchy.

If Marshal McMahOn had the
genius of II Bonapart he would at
tempt to found a dynasty. At all
events he would not be in haste to
abandon the power he has so for
tunately obtained. But the signs
of the times in France Indicate that
he is to be only bridge over which
the Bourbon family will march into
possession of their ancient kingdom.
That he begins now to show his
hand indicates the nrarneSS of the
change that is contemplated. With
in Il week, as President of the Re
public, he has ordered the suppress
sion of twenty republican papers
and has recognized the belligerency
of the Bourbon adventures who
are making war on republican
Spain. These acts show how col
tempt nous is his feeling for the
Republic which he has sworn TO
But though his intrignes
may result in a Bourbon restoration
he cannot bind the French people
to an allegiance to King Henry the
fifth. The EOurbonS were hurled
from the throne III 1898 by the peo-
pie. They were restored to it in
1914 by the bayonets of foreign mon
arches. They were again driven
)ut of France in 1880 by the people
md if they return again it will not
be by the will of the people. Sup
ported by the influence Of Germany
md other continental mOnarchies, |
md tolerated for the moment by |
he army, Henry of Bourbon may
become king, but he will not live
Ong away from his Austrian estate. |
That terrible element still exists in

asst century, and rose and burned
he palaces of the king mp in this.

Committee of Madison county has
called a meeting of the conservative
voters for Monday next, to appoint
delegates.,tO the State Convention
to be held at Meridian on the 18th
instant. This is an i'm portant
meeting, and as there seems to be
some diversity of opinion as to the
proper action of our people in the
approaching contest, it is esse initial
that great prudence should guide
their deliberations. None but our
best and trueSt men should be sent
to Meridian men who will stand
firmly by their principles. and
yield to nothing that would serve
to change the object for which the
convention was originally called.

We are panied to learn
that many of our citizens are
in favor of Alcorn for Gov
ernOr, and desire that he be
either endorsed by the Meri-
dian convention, or that the body
make no nomination, but leave
the field open to Ames and AL
corn. In either event, Ames will
be the Governor, and the Demo
cratic and conservative votes use
IessIy thrown away. We have
read carefully almost every paper
published in the state, and are
yet to discover wherein lies the
strength of Alcorn. With the
lights before us, we can see no
redemption for Mississippi but in
the concentration of the white ele
ment upon Il true and tried son
of the soil, and if the press faith
fully reflect the. sen iments and
wishes of the people, AIcorn is

which we were requested to max,
public. The questions, it will b'
seen, bear directly upon Sabbath'
Schools. and will, no doubt, elici
much controversy among those
most deeply interested. The
Convention, we learn, was con
ducted with the utmost harmony
while all the exercises were well
calculated to advance the inter>
est of this Ueaven>Sanctioned in
Stitution.
Scarcely anything can be
more pleasing to a mind inn
bued with moral and religious in>
stincts, than to witness the efforts
which are being made throughout
the land to instill into the youths
full mind and heart the princi
pies of christian morality. Those
thus engaged are doing noble
wOrk-a work that Heaven ap~
proves, and which patriarchs,
prophets, apostles and martyrs
have done before them, and which
met the sanction of the Savior of
mankind. An absn idea oh,
tains among many, that it is un-
dignified in men and women of
mature years and high social pO>
sition, to come down from their
lofty eminence and adapt them>
selves to the capacity of a child,
in the endeavor to impart to it
the precepts of Heavenly wisdom.
No greater mistake could possi>
bly, be made. Many a little child
has received that direction in a
which has made
the character of the man or the
woman. The germ of thought
latent in the mind has thus been
made to develop and expand in
all the fragrance of a lovely bios
som, and rIpen into the most de-
liciOus fruit, which, otherwise,
might have remained unrevealed
and valueless. Early impressions
are generally lasting, and those
made in favor of virtue and re-
ligion by the beautiful blending of
wisdom and affection on the part
of the teacher, are of incalculable |
benefit to the pupil. In the Sab
more than anywhere
else, do we witness the unfolding
of those ennobling principles
which are to mark the future
lives of the young who are now
being fitted for the faithful per>
formance of the duties and obi !
cations which society will one
day claim at their hands.
But we have written more on
this subject than we intended,
and now direct the attention of the
reader to the questions submitted
TO the Convention, and which
are as follows:
Nv What is the best method of
securing attendance at Sab
bath-SchOOls?
2.-What is the true relation of |
children and Sabbath Schools |
to the Church?
SIS our literature adapted to
meet the ends of Sabbath.
. Schools!
can we best secure the
attendance of the children of !
our Sabbath-Schools, and our
Congregations, on public wor-
ship!
Are UNCONVENTIONAL schools
important to success
SIS it proper to have Superin-
tendents and Teachers of Sab>
bath Schools who are not pro
fessOrs of religion?
7.-HOw should tho Superinten-
dents of Sabbath>SchooIs hold
Office; whether by appointment
of the church authorities, or
election by the Schools?
