America
APROCLAMATI3N.

In accordance with practice at once WISE and
beautiful, we have been accustomed as the year is
drawing to . close, TO devote an occasion TO the
humble expression of our thanks to Aimlgnty
God, for the ceaseless and distinguished dement's
bestowed upon us as q nation, and Tor MS mer,
cies and protection during the closing year. Amid
the rich and fee enjoyment Of all our ads anIages
We should not forget the sources from which they
are derived, and the extent OF our ooligatlons 10
thu 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 religious liberty has
been maintained, peace has reigned within our
borders, labor and enterprise produced their mer-
tied rewards, and to his watchful providence we
are indebted 10 security from pestilence and other
material calamity. Apart from material blessings,
each individual among us has occasion to thought
fully recall, and devoutly recognize the favors
and protection which ne has enjoyed.
Now. therefore, l, Ulysses s. Grant, President
Of the United States, do recommend that on the
18th day Of November, the people of the United
States, abstaining from all secular pursuits, and
from their accustomed avocatons, do assemble IN
their respective places Of worship. and in such
form q may seem most appropriate IN their own
hearts, offer to Almighty God their acknowledge
menss and thanks for all his merces, 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
1875, and of the Independence of the United
States the Tooth.
(Sigped) U. $. GRANT.

An elephant in Calcutta had disease in his
eyes. For three days he had been completely
blind. Ills owner, an engineer officer, asked the
doctor if he could do anything to relieve the poor
animal The doctor said he would try the nitrate
of silver, witch was remedy commonly applied
to similar disease in the human eye. The large
animal was ordered to lie down, and at first, on
the application Of the remedy, raised most ex
traordinary roar at the acute pain which it occa-
stoned. The effect, however, was wonderful. The
eye was in a manner restored, and the animal
could partially see. The next day when he was
of himself, placed his enormous head on one side,
curled up his trunk, drew his breath just like a
man about to endure an operation, gave q sigh Of
relief when it was over, and then by trunk and
gesture evidently wished to express his gratitude
