AnecdOte Of Crockett.

In his day no man was more famous
in the annals Of American politics than
David Crockett, the eccentric Congress-
man from Tennessee.
Early in the spring Of 1886, there ap-
peared at Nacogdoches, Texas, eleven
stalwart men who proposed to enlist for
six months in tie army of the Republic,
to assist in driving the Mexicans out of
the borderss and gain the independence
of Texas.
Colonel John Forbes, formerly of
Ohio, but now living OF Nacogdoches,
who was the first "alcalde" of Texas,
and afterward commissary general of
the army at the battle of San Jacinto,
and who has flled many important po-
sitions OF honor and trust in the State
OF his adoption, swore' in the eleven re-
cruits referred to; but when he came to
that portion OF the oath which contained
the promised allegiance ito the rpublic
of Texas, or any other government that
might be established" one of them ad.
vanced pace forward and declined tc
subscribe to it, for, said he, 81 am re-
publican, and believe in a republican
form of government, and il any othel
kind of government results from thil
revolution, I will neither support no
defend it." Colonel Forbes, seeing til,
the point was well taken, immediatel,
erased the Objectionable portion ant
substituted in it's stead, "or any othe
republican government that might b.
established, which was satisfactory t.
| all concerned, and they were forthwith
mustered into service.
The spokesman who would not swea
allegiance to any government save tina
it was republican was David Crockett
who, together with Bowie and that bray
and noble band, was so foully and bru
tally murdered by the Mexicans at tn
Alamo at San Antonio, Texas, in Apri
1886. The beautiful monument made OF
of the stones from the Alamo, on th
portico of the State House at Austi1
attests the love and affection in whic
Crockett and the Inflated garrison {
the Almo are held by the people {
Texas.

CONSIDERABLY Shot. Among recent
arrivals at Futon, Arkansas, was M. W.
Dickson, a ranchman of Brown county,
Texas, where he has five thousand head
of cattle. A few weeks ago he was at
tackled by Comanches and Kiowas, who
shot at him. Thirteen bullets took effect
in his body-one in the right shoulder,
six in the breast and abdomen, four in
the left arm, one in the right side of the
neck, and one in the back of the head.
He was rescued before the Indians had
time to scalp him, and had to stay al
home two weeks on account Of his
wounds.

The President Appointing a Day Of
National Thanksgiving.
By the President Of he United States

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 of the unnumbered mercies
He has bestowed upon us. Abundant
harvests have been among the rewards
of industry. With local exceptions,
health has been among the
blessings enjoyed. Tranquility at
home and peace with other nations have
prevailed. Frugal industry is regain
ing its merited recognition and its
merited reward. Gradually, but under
the providence of God, surely, as we
trust, the nation is recovering from the
lingering results Of a dreadful civil
strife. For these and all the other
mercies vouchsafed to us il becomes us,
as a people, to return heartfelt and
grateful Acknowledgements, and, with
our thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and temporary
suffering.
I therefore recommend that on Thurs
day, the 9th day of November next,
the people meet in their respective
places of worship to make their ac-
acknowledgements to Almighty God fol
His bounties and His protection, and to
offer to Him prayers for their continu'
ance.
In witness whereof 1 have hereuntc
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done al
the City of Washington, this 14th day
of October, in the year of our Lord
1873, and of the Independence of the
United States the ninety-seventh.
