PROCLAMATION.

In accordance with practice at once wise and
beautiful we have been accustomed as the year is
drawing to close to devote occasion to the hum
BILE expression of our thanks to Almighty God for
the ceaseess and distinguished benefits bestowed
upon us as nation, and for His mercies and pro-
tection during the closing year. Amid the rich and
free enjoyment of all our advantages We should not
forget the sources from whence they are derived,
and the extent Of obligations to the Father of All
Mercies. We have full reason to renew our thanks
to Almighty God for favors bestowed upon during
the past year. By His continuing mercy civil and
religious liberty have been maintained; peace has
reigned within our borders, labor and enterprise
have produced their merited rewards, and to His
watchful providence we are indebted to security
from pestience and other national calamity. Apart
from national blessings, each individual among us
has occasion to thankfully recall and devoutly recog-
nze the avors and protection which he has enjoyed
Now, therefore, i, Ulysses s. Grant, President OF
the United States. do recommend that on THURSDAY,
the 25th day of November, the people of the United
States abstaining from all secular pursuits and from
their accustomed avocations do assemble in their
spective places of worship, and in such form 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 a
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 1878, and of the
independence Of the Uuted States the one hun
dredth.

IT is curious that the reigning sovereigns
make point of paying attention to the ex-
Empress of the French. Perhaps they think
that the chapter of accidents which placed
her on the throne and removed her from it
may one day place the sceptre in her sons
hands. Immediately after the Prince of
Wales went to India the King and Queen of
Denmark arrived in England on visit to
their daughter, the future Queen Consort,
and few days later the King of Denmark
went to Chiselhurst to pay his respects to
Eugenie. When the Emperor of Russia was
in England he paid a similar visit.

THANKSGIVING.

1t is a fashion to say that Christmas has
usurped the place of Thanksgiving in the
popular regard; that the Christmas tree has
crowded the turkey out of notice; that the
last festival of the year is also the greatest.
Many excellent articles have been written
upon this presumed change in taste and man
ners, and much philosophizing done there
upon. The rhetoric and the philosophy are
both good, and the only possible objection to
them, trifing in these cases it must be con-
fessed, is that they have no basis in fact
Christmas has not crowded Thanksgiving out
of favor. 1t is true that the growing taste
for church festivals, the greater regard paid
to the holy days of the church calendar, and
the constantly deepening admiration for the
beautiful myth Of the Christ Child have
brought the last days of December into great
er prominence among our holidays. 1t is
true also that Thanksgiving has lost its dis
tinctively religious character. But it occu-
pies high and peculiar place of its own,
upon which no other festival can from the
nature of the case intrude.
Thanksgiving is pre-eminently the home
festival, the feast of the hearthstone, the
one day in all the year when the widely scat
tered members of the family circle gather at
the old home and about the family gods. In
other lands it could scarcely reach The i'm.
portance it has attained in this country
Elsewhere the family associations are seldom
so efectually sundered as here. Father,
children and grandchildren not unfrequently
find their homes under the same roof, or
dwell not far apart, and the patriarchal char
acter of the relationship is maintained. Here
families are early broken up, members scat
tered from Maine to Oregon. Sons rarely re-
visit the old homestead. Brothers and sis
ters grow to be strangers. The faces of the
old people are unfamiliar to the grandchil-
dren. Cousins do not know each other by
sight. But the great New England festival,
now grown to be national, unites them all
once year, gathers them at the old home
rich with its memories, preserves the love for
and place in the circle about the family
hearthstone. A day of reunions was sadly
needed, and the Puritan Thanksgiving has
in accordance with well-understood laws of
development shaped itself to the need. 1t
is essentially an American holiday, and
would be wholly out of place elsewhere. So
generally has its value in this respect been
felt that its observance has spread far be-
yond the bounds of New England, and is
now limited only by the limits of the coun-
try.

The khedive of Egypt, by a decree dated
Sept. 16, has abolished the use of the 'sKor-

laws. (called the Egyptian code"), founded
upon the French laws, are to be exclusively
used in the administration of justice. Tri-
bunals formed after the manner of other ma
tions are to be opened Jan. 1. A native

INlthe Universities of Oxford and Cam
bridge there are debating societies, each
called "The Union." at which such under
graduates as are members have the oppor-
tunity of exhibiting their powers as orators
and thinkers. Some of the ablest of British
publcists have first essayed to speak in pub
lie in these soceties-such as Peel, the late
Lord Derby, Gladstone, in the Oxford, and
Macaulay, Praed, Cockburn, &C., in the
Cambridge Union. At the latter society the
other day the question debated was to the ef-
feet that ''The present legal restrictions on
Sunday employments and amusements are
unjust and should be repealed" Ttco speak
ers supported this view, which was opposed
by eleuen. On division there were SO yeas
and 121 nays. 1t was voted, therefore, by a
majority of 6S in an assembly of 174 highly.
educated English gentlemen that to observe
Sunday as day of rest was not unjust.
THE New York Herald has been at the
trouble and expense of obtaining a special
dispatch from Europe to the effect that Ole
Bull, the veteran violinist, is making fare
well tour. From this dispatch it appears
that he went through Sweden and Norway
with forty concerts in six weeks. From Co
penhagen he goes to Germany, and thence
to France, Russia, Roumania, Turkey, and
Egypt, the Khedive having invited him to
give concert at the Pyramids, presumably
to the royal mummies who reside there.
That he does not come to this country is
probably owing to the fact that he has already
made four last and final farewell tours of
America.

+ GRANT. WHO should be the friend
of the brave boys who made him what
he Is, vetoes the Bounty Bill for the
equalization of bounties. He is only
in favor of putting money in his own
pocket, and not in the hands of the
boys who carried the muskets and done
the fighting. Stevens Point Pinery
The Pinery is either mistaken or has
wrongfully interpreted the fact relative
to the Bounty Bill The reason the
bill did not receive the Executive sane
ton Is because it never legally became
a law through misrepresentation of
parliamentary routine. The bill passed
the House, was amended by the
Senate and returned to the House for
it's concurrence. The House refused to
concnr and advised committee of
conference which was granted by the
Senate. This committee reported the
bill back recommending that the House
recede from its disagreement to the SEN
ate amendment. The report was adopt,
ed by the House but the Senate laid
it on the table. The Clerk surprising
chat the Senate would adopt the re-
port, enrolled the bill, and it was
signed by the Speaker and the Vice
President. who. in the confusion Of the
closing hours Of Congress, overlooked
the action of the Senate on the repor t.
The facts becoming known to the Pres
ident, Of course he did not sign it,
neither could he have done SO, for the
bill had not become law. The At
torney General advised the Presiden
that the bill had been defeated by the
action of the Senate, else his signature
would have been attached, for bis SYM
pathies were with the bill.

SUPPORT HOME INSTITUTIONS
1t is the interest OF every one TO en-
courage the mechanic and tradesman
living in his own town or village. He
who will not do so manifests hut little
regard for the prosperity OF the place
where he lives. The man or woman
who invariably makes Purchases abroad,
should look abroad for employment.
In order to build up and add to the size
and prosperity of the place, the citi-
zens must support and encourage each
other. The property-holaer will thus
be benefited by the advance of value
of his possessions, the mechanic by the
erection of new bull 'ings and improve
ments of others. and the laborer by the
increased demand of his services. If
every one should go abroad and make
purchases. trades of all kinds would be
pull at home; business would languish !;
men would have no work; farmers
would have no market, and the grass
would grow in our streets Only the
wealthy would have any money to pur.
chase anything at home or abroad
While it may be considered the duty
of every one TO purchase from mer-
chants at home, it is emphatica'ly a
duty the merchant owes to the prosper
ity of the town where he resides, to sell
at such rates as may prevent the pur-
shaser from being compelled to go
abroad. The very worst enemy town
can have is an incompetent merchant.
Such e man does not know how to buy
and is therefore unable to enter int3
