ErIe, ana AnaatIc { Great western.

Gen. George B. McClellsD, Presi-
dent of the Atlantic & Great Western
Railway Company, sailed for Europe
on Wednesday, with his family. The
visit is nominally for pleasure, but il
is understood that the primary object
is to enable Gen. Mcclellan to be
present in London at joint confer
ence of the leading English represen-
tatives of the Erie and the Atlantic &
Great Western. 1t is now officially
announced that it is necessary for the
Erie to lease the Atlantic & Great
Western. As President Watson is
now in London comforting with Erie
shareholders, itwas deemed advisable
that Gen. Mcclellan should attend a
joint conference of the stockholders of
both roads on the subject of closer re-
lations between the two roads. 1t
was thought that thepresenee in Lon.
don of the Presidents of both the i'fa-
vorite Anglo-Ameriean Railways
would have beneficial effectin har-
moniZing conflicting interests and
furthering negotiations for aunion.
1t is understood that an informal con-
ference will first take place between
General cClellan, President Watson,
James McHenry, and Mr. Bischoffs-
helm, after which the general meet
ing will probably be held. 1t is the
intention of the Erie managers to ex-
ten1 their connections East by NJ cans
of the New York, Boston & Montreal,
and other Railroads, so as to reach
Halifax, and avail themselves ofthe
European traffic, which il is thought
win develop at that port when the
railroad facilities shall haYe been per-
fected.-N. y. Tribune.

The shrIne Al .Paray-le-MonIaI.

The shrine at Paray-le-Monial,
where so many pilgrims from Eng
land and the Continent are congrega-
ting, presents a moving spectacle.
Margaret Marie Alacoque, or rather
her counterfeit presentment, lies prone
upon the altar in the little chapel ad-
Joining the Monsstry of the Visitation
where, 200 years ago, Marie Alacoque
lived and died, saw visions, aud
dreamed dreams. On the 18th of Ju-
ly, 1864, the time appearing ripe for
the undertaking, and the Pope hav-
ing consented to recognize and beauti-
fy the new French saint, grave,
which tradition alleged was that of
Marie Alacoque, was opened, and
some bones therein were extracted.
The bones were handed over to the
care of cunning artificer, who, MAX
ing use of them as far as they would
go, Joined them together with golden
wire. Hands, head, and feet of wax
were added, and the image only want
ed suitable garments and appropriate
lodgment to place it on footing of
equality with any exhibition of the
kind in the world. These have been
provided, with all the tasteful gor-
geousness for which the Romish
Church is famed. Robed in rich vest
ments the waxen image reposes upon
a magnificent marble altar, within the
sanctuary of the chapel. Its head is
draped in cloth of gold, and is enclos-
ed in bronze case, dore, richly car
we'd, and studded with precious stones.
The sides and roof or the box are or
plate glass, so that the eyes of the
faithful may feast upon the beauties
of the figure within as they bend for
ward to press their lips upon the
shrine. The chapel itself is marvel
of richness and color. The vaulted
roof is azure, studded with golden
stars. Its pavement is of white mar
bic, except in the sanctuary, which is
tesselated in rich carpet patterns.
The walls are hidden behind rare
paintings, gifts of the faithful, and by
the banners which pilgrims have
brought from afar. A score of lamps,
richly gilt and set with precious
stones, burn night and day before the
shrine

to act. Everybody in the trade feels
depressed and thinks the crisis has
not yet been reached. There is not

Grand Scheme for the Conquest Of
Mexico.

MOA2NOs
ST. LOUIS, Oct. ia gentleman
who has lived in chihuahua, one of
the Northern States of Mexico. for
many years, recently arrived here on
business, and has communicated TO a
Tines reporter a grand scheme for the
conquest of Northern Mexico, embra-
cling Chihuahua, Coahuila, New Leon
and Sonora, and subsequent ennexa-
tiOn to the United States. A number
of capitalists of this country and
many prominent and wealthy citi-
zens of Mexico are said to be connect
ed with the scheme. A brief outline
of the project is as follows:
The Texas Pacific Railroad is being
constructed from both termini. and
the work viii be finished about the
middle ofthe month somewhere near
81 Paso. Some fifteen thousand Ia
bOrers will be engaged on the road,
and when the work is completed they
will be discharged in a country where
it viii be impossible for them 20 OBJ
tain employment; and as such men
are generally improVident and with
out money, they viii be glad to ac-
cept anything that may offer. How
these men are to be utilized is thus
stated: A society has been organized
with headquarters at New Orleans,
composed exclusively Of officers OF
the Union and Confederate armies.
no one being eligible who has net at
tanned the rank of Captain. Some
weeks before the completion of the
railroad these gentlemen viii be sent
forward in detachments to make
themselves personally acquainted
with the laborers, and on the dis.
charge of the latter, they will at
tempt to organize them into an army,
the cOmmissariat and camp eauiDaee
to be furnished by the capitalists who
back them, and they are then to
march over the Northern States of
Mexico and raise the fiaRof independ-
enee in each of them. The people Of
these States are expected to look fa-
Norably on the enterprise and effer no
molestation or Interference, and the
1 government of Mexico will be power
less TO prevent il.
The nextstep will be annexation to
the United States by a vote of the
} people, as was the case with Texas.

Gently discovered that a new mode of
smuggling is being practiced. They
suddenly observed the number of rock
ing-horses brought to France to be
greatly on the increase; indeed, it ap.
peared that sort of mania had taken
possession Of children's minds on the
subject. Suspicion being at tlength ex-
cited, one of the horses was ripped

Bales for the care of Canary BIRDS


/. During the summer season you
should have both drinking cup and a
bathing dish in the cage, and should
wash them well twice day and fill
with fresh water. The seed cup
should be filed every morning.
2. The room in which the bird is
kept should never be warmer than so
degrees. l.r m
8. Feed plain food. Now and then
a lump ofsugar does no harm, but as
a general rule avoid sweets. Keep
the outtlefish dry and clean, and feed
only fresA and dry seed.
4. Never place a cage where draft
can strike the bird, ~
.. Never smoke, or let any one
smoke in a EOom where your bird is
kept, as the odOr of a cigar is fatal to
canaries.
g. AS general rule, never keep the
bird in a painted cage, for the birds
will peck at the wires, and it will
lead 10 disease. sG
z, When your bird is shedding
feathers, which is generally styled
M lulting, avoid drafts of air.
by obeying these simple directions
yon can keep your birds in excellent
health for years. Country Gentleman.

Thanksgiving Proclamation by the
81 President.

WASHINGTON, October IA.
By he President Of the, United States
"a Proclamation. l
The approaching close OF another
year brings with it the occasion for the
renewed thanksgiving and acknowl-
edgement to the Almighty Ruler Of the
Universe Of the unnumb mbered mercies
which he has bestowed upon US.
Abundant haryests haYe 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 re-
gaining its merited recognition and
its merited rewards gradually, but
under the Providence of God, surely,
as we trust, the Nation is recovering
from the result of dreadful civil
strife. For these and all the other
mercies vouchsafed, it becomes US as
9 people toreturR heartfelt and grate-
full acknowiedgments and with our
thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and tempor-
airy suffering. i therefore recon-
mend that on Thursday, the 9th day
of November next, the people meet
in their respective place of worship,
to make their acknowledgement to Al
God for his bounties and his
protection, and to offer TO him pray
ers for their continuance.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my haadand caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the, city Of Washington, this
14th day of October, in the year Of
