Proclamation for Thanksgiving.

WASHINGTON, Oct 81.
The following proclamation has been
issued by the Executive:
In accordance with practice at once wise
and beautiful, we have been accustomed, as
the year is drawing to a close, to devote an oc-
casion to an humble expression of thanks to
Almighty God for ceaseless and distinguished
benefits bestowed upon US as a nation, and
for His mercies and protection during the
closing year. Amid the rich and free enjoy
ment of all our advantages we should not for
get the source from whence they are derived,
and extend our obligations to the Father of
All Mercies. We have full reason to renew
our thanks to Almighty God for favors be-
slowed upon us during the past year.
By His continuing. mercy civil and relig-
ious liberty has been maintained; peace
has reigned within our borders labor and
enterprise have produced. their merited re-
wards, and to His watchful providence we
are indebted for security from pestilence and
other national calamities. Apart from the
other national blessings each individual
among us has occasion to thoughtfully recall
and devoutly recognize hefaVors and protec-
ton which he has enjoyed.
NOW, therefore,, L, ulysses =. GRANT,
President of the United States, do recon-
mend that on Thursday, the 25th day of
November, the people of the United States,
abstaining from all secular pursuits and
fir II their accustomed avocations, do assem-
bis in their respective places of worship, and,
in such form as may seem most appropriate
in their own hearts, offer to Almighty God
their Acknowledgements and thanks for all His
mercies, and their humble prayers for the
continuance of His divine favor. In witness
whereof, have hereunto set my hand, and
caused the seal Of the United States to be
affixed
Done at the city of Washington, this 9th
day of October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-tive, and
ofthe independence of the United States the
one hundredth.
(Signed) U. S. GRANT, President.

A Mules Fall.

A CORRESPOND ENT with the Hayden geo.
logical party tells the following: We had
scarcely gotten the train halfway up the
face of the canon, which was here over a
thousand feet deep, and stopped a few
minutes to rest, when we who were below
in the winding path were startled by a
great rushing noise, and upon looking up
ward observed one of the mules called
odd jake come bounding down, pack
and all, through the air, spinning head
over heels, alighting on his back a hun
dred feet below among mass of sharp,
Jagged rocks. We all rushed to the spot
to take a sharp look at his shapeless form
lying crushed and bleeding in the cliffs.
He had been feeding OF the brink Of the
precipice with his back toward it, and in
backing few steps had slipped off and
fallen into a cedar tree some thirty feet
below, alighting on his pack, from which
he was hurled by the elastic bows high
into the air, alighting a second time some
thirty feet further down among the stones,
where his pack was burst and streWn with
the contents over the trail, and taking
third bound into the air made one more
descent of forty feet, where he hit on his
back in hollow among the rocks. When
we approached him what was our sur
prise to see him scramble to his feet,
trembling like an aspen, with great drops
of water and blood starting from every
pore! By almost a miracle he had re-
ceived no more serious injuries than some
severe bruises and numerous small cuts
and skin wounds about the head, tail and
legs. The hair was shaved off in little
patches all over his body and the fall had
astonished and stiffened him considerably,
but we arrived at the conclusion that it
was impossible to kill mule unless it
was done by shooting. Mules are like
Indians in this respect, for who ever saw
an Indian die natural death? They
may disappear, but who can tell what be-
comes Of them?

The Great Fire at Virginia City, New.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. rs.
THE fire broke out about daylight in a
dwelling on A street, near Taylor, point
at about the southwestern limit of the
business and thickIy-settled portion of the
city. It spread rapidly, extending east
ward toward the ravine in which are stu
ated the works and mills of several prom
inent mines. Reaching as far as street
northward, the flames crossed Union and
Sutton streets, covering space Of about
ten blocks, comprising, in the words of
one dispatch, almost every decent building
in town. AS the fire worked up G street
the offices Of the TerrSt0Tsal Enterprise and
Chronicle were destroyed. Piper's Opera
house was next in flames, and it became
evident that the railroad depot and hoist
ing-works of the Consolidated Virginia
were in danger. The water-supply was
inadequate and the engines of little use
Recourse was had to blowing up build
ings. 1t was too late, however, and in a
few minutes the depot and hoisting-works
were on fire. The latter were recently
completed at an expense of several hun
dred thousand dollars, and were the finest
on the Comstock lode.
Continuing to the north and east, the
partially mill of the California
mine and the Consolidated Virginia mill

The New Hampshire Outrage.

There is but one opinion among fair
minded men of all parties about the usur
patton committed by the Democratic Gov
ernor and Council of New Hampshire. The
indignant condemnation is not limited to
Republicans, but extends to all save the
most hide bound partisans who are ready to
sustain ANYTHING.
The Tribune denounces it "a a fraud. "
and says that all Governor v eston and
his council of Cheap Johns will have gained
by it will be the noto;iety attending very
weak and stupid attemp. to do very dis
honest aud dishonorable thing" 1t further
denounces the act as kind of pettifog-
ging" which ''seems to be inspired by moth
ing but intrinsic dishonesty and absolute
inability to do right when there is an oppor
tunity to do wrong" and that it rises to
the digniry-if we may be allowed the par
adox--of total depravity.'
The Sprng field Republican says of the
same proceeding: at Is worse than crime:
it is a blunder-a particularly iiltimed and
stupid blunder at that. which the New
Hampshire Democrats and the party at
large will be very sorry for presently. That
party is not in position at present to play
tricks with the laws or upon the people"
The New York Erening Post equally con-
demns it as a political scandal"
We have made these quotations to show
what the sentiment is among those who can
not be charged with speaking as Repuo-
licans partisans. Among honest men there
can only be one opinion as to this nefsrious
transaction. And it illustrates the prevail
ing character of the Democratic party
