To the Editor OF the Dallas Herald:
The proclamation of our mayor for
the observance of thanksgiving is
worthy of public attention. and it is to
he hoped will be observed by our peo-
pie, and it should he remembered that
this is not only II day of thanks for
blessings to Dallas, the State of Texas,
but also q day of thanksgiving pre-.
eninently national. Our southern
people have not been in the habit of
observing these days since the late
war, for causes known to themselves
aud the nation. But now that the day
star of peace is dawning upon us as a
section and constituent part
of the nation, it becomes us
to specially observe this
day long set apart by our people for
feasting, Thanksgiving and prayer.
BY SO doing we will give evidence of
our faith in permanent government,
and rebuke the idea of disloyalty to the
union of The states.
Mayor Cubell, an old war general, APP
preciates the Importance of this occa-
sion, and all honor to his good motives
for coming to the front along with the
governor Of the state and the president
of the nation, and calling upon the cit.
liens of Dallas 10 close business, aud,
returning toa time-hOuored custom,
give thanks to the Great Benefacter OF
the Universe for his kind rememhr npce
of us as 0 righteous state aud national
people, Services have been announced
Tor various churches, and We earnestly
hope our people will give heed to the
proclamation and appointments made
by phr ministers.
VIZ Suggest that public notice be civ.
Ell through lhe press OF the city of ser.
vices to be held ut the churches, that
our people aud strangers who may
be among us may know where they
can spend Thursday In devotion among
a 0od.fearing people. go

Stopping the Supply of Pens and
Knives.
r. ,o,,, tho yN.sb;,cton C+.-

For years past it has been the Gus.
tom in the different bureaus OF the In
terror Department for the head Of each
bureau, on Christmas, ,to:preseut to each
emplOye either knife or gold pen, or
both, these presents being purchased
with money from the contingent fund.
Quite sensation was created among
the quill drivers of the Patent Office,
this morning, by the appearance of the
following circular, signed IN. d.
Leggett, Commissioners Of Patents, on
the bulletin board:
"When l came into the Patent Office
found it had long been q custom to
present at the close of each year gold
pen and pocket knife, purchased with
public funds, TO each empIoye Of the
Office. have searched in vain for any
legal authority TO warrant the COM
missioner in making such use of the
public funds intrusted to his care. I
am fully aware that many i'm The Office
are poorly paid for their services, and I
should regard it as a great privilege to
be able to compensate them properly,
but not one such person, presume,
would desire me to make an illegal use
of money placed under my control to
thus reward him. 1t was not my in
tention that such presents should be
made last year, but the articles had
been purchased before my attention
va, called to the matter. The practice
OF making such presents will. from this
date, be discontinued during my ad-
Of the Office. When in
the discharge of official duties it be-
comes nj cessary for an,employeto have
\ knife or gold zen, on proper applica-
ton, approved by the Commissioners,
the same may be furnished"
There Is considerable feeling among
the clerks in consequence Of the deter
of the Commissioner. and
many Of the clerks argue that he is al
together too conscientious on this point.
AT a meeting of the heads Of bureaus
this morning, called by the Secretary
Of the Interior, Gen. Leggett requested
that he be allo we'd to require the at
tendance of his clerks a. usual during
the holidays except on Christmas and
New Years. He argues that the busi-
essn of his Office would suffer materially
by any interruption, and that IS for
on half time 1t Is mere farce,
as no work is accomp lished.

LandSeer.

Now that Sir Edward Landseer is
dead and in the hands of the biogra-
pliers, anecdotes of him begin to
abound. Here couple: A friend ac-
companied him to the Kensington Mu-
scum on tie first occasion of its exhi-
bition by gas-light, "a Visit to Water
loo." Il must have been mad" said
he, "whcn painted that" and walk
ing UP to the picture, he placed his
hands over the pant which had attract
ed his criticism. An attendant police
men shouted his polite caution, sNow,
then, take yer lands off that there!"
"My good man." said Sir Edward. ssI
was merely remarking how bad that
was" "Then why don't yer 90 and
do better?" said Bobby who had no
idea to whom he was speaking, and
thereby causing considerable merri-
ment among the artists friends.
"Quite right, quite right; 1 should do
better; am ashamed of it," returned
Sir Edward. At one of the Royal
Academy distributions there was an
original work of Vandyck exhibited,
together with the students copies of it.
Upon being asked his opinion of them.
Sir Edward replied: '.They are all very
bad, but / think 1 should give the
medal to this one, pointing to the or
Iginal picture. There are many SINH
lar anecdotes of him, for Landseer was
quite celebrated for the neatness and
pGiDt of his criticisms, dashed as they
are with All occasionally caustie vein,
which gave them additional piqauncy.

Before the witness had time to reply,

The effect was irresistible, and even
the Judge could not control his rigid

Mr.. Webster, said, "Suppose we sub
