Thanksgiving day last Thursday
was quite generally observed thro't
the country, the people seeming to
find some reasons for gratitude, not
withstanding herd times and general
discouragements. The origin and
history of Thanksgiving day has
been so often published hat we will
not stop to give it, only to say that
it originated with the pilgrim faith
ers, and under circumstances that
the modern American would not find
inspiring him with gratitude. How
ever, the first original characteristic,
the religious, has in a great measure
disappeared, and probably will en-
tirely in a few more years.

NATIONALITY No BAR To MEMBER
HIP.-CoNFIDENTIAL.-DEAR SIR
In view of the intolerant, persistent,
and aggressive efforts of Romanists
in their avowed determination to
subvert the Government Of the Uni
ted States, and to destroy our civil
and religious liberty, l desire to sub
NIT to you the following questions:
L. Are you Protestant from prin-
ciple and from choice?
2. Are you in favor of preserving
constitutional liberty and maintain
ing the Government of the United
States?
3. Do you regard Romanism as the
enemy Of civil and religious liberty?
4. Is it not, in your opinion, I'M
wise and unsafe to appoint to civil,
political, or military Office, in this
country, men who owe allegiance to
the Pope of Rome, and who have
sworn to obey him?
5. Are you in favor of maintaining
the principles Of one general, unsec-
tartan, free-school organization?
6. Are you opposed to all attempts
to use the public funds for any sec
tartan purpose whatever?
I. Are you in favor of putting in
to office honest and true patriots who
are best qualified to fill the positions
regardless of political parties?
s. Are you willing to be governed
by these principles in your political
actions!
9. Are you willing to unite with
others who hold these principles and
hencefvrth devote yourself, your for.
tune, and your sacred honor to the
protection and perpetuation of civil
and religious liberty and this great
American Union?
10. Can you, upon your sacred
honor, without equivocation or men,
tai reservation, answer all these ques,
tons in the affirmative?
II. Cal you furnish the names,
ages, residences, and occupations Of
the men who are willing to become
organized under and be governed by
the above principles?
If you are DESTROYS of obtaining
further information on the subject
referred to in questions 8 and IL,
please communicate with the person
from whom you receive this circular.
Please consider this circulBr, its con,
tents, and its source strictly private
and confidential.

The N. Y. World speaks Of John
Sherman's "set up interview in the
Commercial, on the subject of re-
sumption, as a "sham." The finan-
cial Senator ought to get himself in
terviewed one more in order to ex
plain what he never said. AS a f.
nancier, the public has come to look
upon Sherman a. simply a preten-
tious humbug.

THE THIRD TERM MOVEMENT

Some Republican journals which
deprecate the Third Term Move
ment. assert that it is simply a
Democratic device to alarm the
people, and that President GRANT
can not be nominated for a Third
Term in a Republican National
Convention. That remains to be
seen. "W. J. "" in a recent letter
from Washington City to the Gin
cinnati Commercial, writes:
Speaking of the third term re-
minds me tat l have heard more of
il, and more expressions in favor of
it during this week than ever before.
| am beginning to believe that all
the sentiment in favor of a third
term is not, after all, going about
under General GRANTS hat. Brother
in-law Casey has been particularly
ostentatious in declaring that the
emergency" has arisen, and that
GRANT would again be compelled tc
be a candidate for the purpose O.
again saving the country"

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and deeayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
eerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. IF wanted merely for a

THE SCHOOL QUESTION.

AS the school question is being
pushed to the front in politics by Pres
ident Grant and his admirers, the views
of prominent men on that subject are
being sought and given to the public.
The New York World has beon inter
viewing Ex-Governor Seymour, and
reports him as having said in an
swer to question as TO his opinion
of the school or anti Catholic question,
lately imported, that what the Repub-
licans call the school question Is not
the school question at all. Every
one knows that it is brought up to ex-
cite sectarian passions; it is now
strategic movement on very serious
question. St.ategical movements IN
politics, said he, rarely succeed, and
never when the motives are so trans
parent as in this case. The very fact
that the movers feel that our school
system is so popular with the American
people proves that there is no danger of
it's being o,erthrown. He says this
strategy is very odious at the present
time, fer the people feel that it is an
attempt to turn their attention away
from the reforms which are needed to
relieve the public distress. 1t is SIM
ply saying to American citizens;
=" Let us talk about something else
than bad legislation and worse admin
istration." 1t is very much like Civ
ing a religious tract to starving
family. eff, continued the Governor,
"our city, state and National Govern
ments, without regard to their politi-
cal characters, will cut down taxation,
they will do much to restore confidence
and revive business" but every man
knows that this will not be done. if the
public mind is to be agitated by either
sectional or sectarian hate. He thinks
the Republican party will gain nothing
by making an issue on the religious
question, for that class of men who
like to indulge in sectional and secta-
ri IN prejudices have alwa! voted for
their ticket, and they will drive from
their ranks many liberal men, who
have heretofore acted with them.

IT seems that the troubles which
threaten destruction to Liberia origin
ated in little job in which the late
President of that republic was interest
ed. He was induced to make an agree
ment giving an English company a
monopoly of the LibeIian trade. The
Legislature refused to ratify the arrange
msnt. and thereupon the agents Of ths
company claimed right Of traffic and
transit through the territories of Liberia
independent of the Government. r.
sistance to this claim led to the discs.

been said.
