Of America:
PROCLAMATION.

In accordance with a practice at once wise and
beautiful we have been accustomed the year is
drawing to close to devote occasion to the hum
BILE expression of our thanks to Almighty God for
the ceaseless 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 enter prise
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 5. 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 1875, and of the
Independence Of the Uuited States the one hun
dredth.
(Signed) US. GRANT
By the President,
HAMILTON FISH, Secretary of State.

About Women.

Until within few years ago the carving was
always performed by the mistress of the house.
In the last century this task must have re-
quired no small share of bodily strength, for
the lady was not only to invite-that is, urge
and tease her guests to eat more than human
throats conveniently could swallow-but to
carve every dish, when chosen, with her owa
hands The greater the lady, the more indis-
pensable was the duty; each joint was carried
up to be operated on in its turn by her, and by
her alone. The peers and knights on either
hand were so far from being bound to offer
their assistance that the very master of the
house himself, posted opposite to her, might
not offer his assistance. His department. was
to push the bottle after dinner. As for the
crowd of guests the most inconsiderabe AMONG
them-the curate or subaltern, or SQUIRE,
younger brother-if suffered, through her ne.
glect, to help himself to slice of mutton placed
before him, would have chewed it in bitterness
and gone home an affronted man, half inclined
to give wrong vote at the next election.
There were theu professional carving masters
who taught young ladies scientifically In the
letters OF Lady Mary Montague she mentions
having taken lessons three times a week, that
she might be perfect when called upon TO pre-
side at her fathers table. In order to perform
her functions without interruption sne was
forced to eat her own dinner alone an hour or
two beforehand.

BRAVERY OF MAINE BoY.--We hear of the
valiant exploits Of one of our Kennebec boys in
California. Mr.. Frank N. Morse, brother of
Chief Engineer Morse of this city, is the driver
of the Forbestown stage. He has been in Cal
ifornia about eighteen years. Recently his
stage was stopped and robbed of $1,000. The
stage cantained nine passengers; while passing
along slowly, they were suddenly commanded
to halt, and "hand oat that box referring
to Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express, which was
entrusted to Mr.. Morse's care. The robbers
were five in number, armed to the teeth. One
having gun took station where he could fire
into the stage, ii found to be necessary. while
two assisted in getting out the box, which was
taken few steps away, broken open, and the
gold dust and coin taken. Morse called to
them to hand back the box so that the ladies'
could put their feet upon it, but he was told 10
drive on. He refused to do so, most emphati-
cally, till he got that box, continuing, "you
have got all cut of it that is worth anything to
you, so now give it back" After a little hesi,
tation they did SO. The robbers then departed.
not troubling the passengers, who had many
valable articles about them. BIT the best part
OF the story is to be told. Morse not only had
the box which the robbers got containing
$500, but he had another, which contained
10000, which he brought through safely. on
account OF his calmness and presence of mind
Messrs Wells, Fargo & Co., recognized this
service, by presenting him with magnificent
gold watch and chain. Albert Crowall another
Maine man, driver on the Quincy route, re-
ceived similar present.-Kennebec Journal.

DURING Republican meeting at New
Bedford, on Saturday evening, Mr.. Rice, re-
ferring to the recent depression in manufac-
turing interests, argued that with the i'm.
provements in machinery, increasing mechani.
cal skill, and economy in management, there
would result degree of perfection in manu-
factured articles, aud reduction in selling
prices which would enable American manu-.
facturers, at not distant day, to find profit
able markets in foreign countries. At this
point he was interrupted by Mr.. Grinnell, the
president of the famous Wamsutta mills
said to contain more spindes than any Other
mill in the country, who stated as confrma
ton of Mr.. Rice's views that his mills had
very recently made their first shipment ol
goods to foreign market. Another mil
manager arose and made similar statement,
and was followed by an iron manufacturer
who spoke to the same effect of his establish
ment. These are certainly encouraging facts
for American manufacturers. The London
Times, it will be remembered, has recently
pronounced the American calicoes imported
by Manchester firm, better in quality and
appearance than the English goods.

THE French Ministry of Finance appears
inclined to introduce an income tax upon the
very rich. A tax of three per cent. upon the
profits made by banking aud finance compa-
MES has existed for some time, and it is now
proposed to extend it to private banking
firms. As, however, the latter do not declare
dividends, it is proposed to assume that they
always make five per cent. upon their capi.
tai, and tax that assumed amount. If this
passes the Assembly, it will be easy in year
or two to extend the tax to all persons and
companies making or receiving an income
above certain amount, and to calculate il
for all upon the capital.

The supreme court of Winconsin has re-
versed the action of the canvassers in throw
ing out the vote of Lincoln county, which left
majority of one for Geo. W. Cate, dem., on
which the secretary of the state awarded him
certificate as congressman-elect from the
eight district, instead of A. S. McDill, rep,
who, it is decided, had a majority of votes.

GEN. SLocUM has taken open ground
against the Democratic Ring thieves Of
Brooklyn. For having done so, the Brook
lyn Eagle denounces the General thus:
1t is needless to say that the Eagle enter.
tains very high respect for General Slocum
but for the manhood which inspires such action
at such time, the Eagle has no respect a,
all. Ingrattude and treachery in politics, OF
outside of them, commend no man and no
cause to any true mans favor.
In comparison with these Democratic
scamps in Brooklyn, the canal thieves are
"nowhere" in scoundrelism. And yet for
taking ground against them Gen. Slocum
is denounced as an ''ingrate" and TRAITOR"
This is rather harsh treatment Of gentle
man whose high character has secured for
him frequent political favors from the Demo-
ratio party.

In connection with the decision of the
Massachusetts, Supreme court in the case oil
the Old South Church the Boston Trans
script gives the following resume of the case:
About 1869 Mary Norton gave the land on
which the church Glands, on the corner of
Milk and Washington streets, and other land
adjoining, to certain persons and their sue
cessors in lee simple ''for the erecting of a
house for their assembling themselves to-
gether publicly to worship God," etc., 'and
TOR the accommodation of the meeting house
with convenient passages of ingress, egress
and regress for the people that shall there
from time to time assemble as aforesaid, and
for no other intent. use or purpose whatso-
ever" In 1845 the successors of the origi-
nal donees were Incorporated, and the act of
incorporation authorized the corporation to
take and hold the land for the support for
public worship, for parochial and charitable
purposes, and for paying the debts of the cor
poration. The corporation was also author
lied to demise and lease any OF said real es-
tate except the meeting house and land under
the same. In 1873 the corporation in accord
anee with the views of a majority of its mem
bers, petitioned the Legislature to remove
the restraint upon sale of the church and
land under the same, imposed by the act of
lS45, and also petitioned for special power
to sell, so as to remove any question which
might arise by reason of the trusts set forth
In the original grant. The Legislature, how
ever. refused to give any special license to
sell, but did remove the inhibition imposed
by the act of incorporation, and referred the
parties to the Supreme Court to decide what
their legal rights might be. In the Supreme
Court it has been claimed on the one hand
that majority of the members of the cor
poration have perfect right to sell the prop
erty without regard to the wishes or interests
of the minority; and on the other side it has
been claimed that the property is held subject
to certain trusts, and that it cannot be sold
without special license from the court and
upon proof that such sale is necessary to
carry out the purposes of the trust. The
opinion of the Supreme Court, as now given.
Is that this trust does not constitute a public
charity; that the property cannot be sold
without license from the court, and that it
remains for the court to determine, upon
hearing the evidence, whether the wishes of
the majority or Of the minority are most in
accordance with the provisions of trust and
the interests OF beneficiaries.
