We are glad to know tina. the iron for tie
Canal Street, City Park and Lake Railroad has
been ordered, and will arrive in about ten
days from this date. The energetic gentle
men who have the management of this road
have determined to push it forward rapidly to
completion, and it will not be many months
before our citizens have delightful and
speedy means Of exit from the city to the
shores of Lake Pontchartrain.
The bed of this road lies Immediately along
the Orleans canal to the Lake, and thence
directly across to the Spanish Fort-a distance
Of about mile-which is the most pictur-
esque spot in the vicinity of New Orleans.
The rails to be used for the road are the light
T pattern, which will insure speed, smooth
ness and safety, and the motors are the most
admirable as well as the most beautiful steam
engines ever seen. The completion Of this
road is anxiously looked forward to by thous-
ands of those who have no money to spend
in trips abroad, but who could readily afford
nickel to go to the Lake to enjoy the fresh
air and change of scene.

Sevnour, Of the Milwaukee Ne,rs, suggests
that the Beecher trial be put aboard that vessel
which is going on search for the North Pole.
It's splendid idea. They'd have lots Of jury
masts in case of accident, could Porter without a
helm, would have lots Of Morse for food, would
be under the lee Of Hill during the storms ard
could always Beecher if she threatened to sink.

PROCLAMATION.

By The Presio'eai Of The United States Of America
PROcLAMArIoS.
IN accordance with a practice at once wise
ard beautiful, we have been accustomed as
the year is drawing to a close, to devote an
occasion to the humble expression of our
IMAM rs 10 Almighty God for the ceaseless
ana distinguished benefits bestowed upon us
as nation and for His mercies and protec-
uOn curing the closing year.
Amid the rich and free epioyment of All
our advantages, we should not forget the
source from whence they are derived and the
extent OF orr obligations to the Father of III
mercles. We have full reason 10 renew our
ihaf ks to Almighty God for fayors be toyed
upon us during the past year.
by HIS continuing mercy, civil and reli-
glous liberty have been maintained peace
has reigned within our borders, labor aud en-
terprlse nave produced their merited re-
wards, and 10 His watchful providence we
are lhdeoted FOR security from pestilence
ana other national calamity. Apart from
national blessings, each individual among
us has occasion to thoughtfully recall and
devoully recognize the favors and protec-
ton which he has enjoyed.
Now, therefore, 1, Ulysses s. Grant, Presi-
dent OF the United States, do recommend
mat on Thursday. the 18th day OF Novemb Der.
the people of the United states abstain from
all secular pursuits Snd from their accus-
TONED avocations do assemble in their re
spective places of worship, and in such form
as may seem most appropriate in their
hearts offer 10 Almighty God their acknowI-
eogments and thanks for all his meIcies and
their humble prayers for a continuance of
His divine favor.
In witness whereof, / have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be AFT
Done at the city of Washington this y
day OF October, in the year of our
n c Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-five, and OF the year of indie
pendence of the United States the oLe
hundredth. L. 6 GRANT
