A Proclamation by the President OF the
United States.

WASHINGTON, october "a.
From year to year we have been accus-
toned to pause in our daily pursuits, and
set apart time to offer thanks to Almighty
God for the special blessings He has vouch-
safed to US, with cur prayers for a cOntinu-
ance thereofs We have now equal reason
to be thankful for His continual protection,
and for many national blessings which His
bounty has bestowed. In addition to
these favors accorded to us as individ-
uals, we have especial occasion to ex-
press our hearty thanks to Almighty God,
that by His providence and guidance our
Government, established a century ago, has
been enabled to fulfill the purpose of its
founders, in offering an asylum to people Of
liberty to all within its borders, and melting
out to every individual, alike, justice and
equality before the law. 1t is, moreover,
especially our duty to offer our humble
prayers to the Father of all Mercies, for a
continuance of His divine favor to us as
nation and as individuals.
BY reason of all these considerations, 1,
Ulysses s. Grant, President of the United
States, do recommend to the people of the
United States to devote the 3Oth day of No
vember next to an expression of their thanks
and prayers to Almighty God, and laying
aside their daily avocations and all secular
occupations, and to assemble in their re.
spective places of worship, and observe such
day as a day of thanksgiving and rest.
In witness whereof l have hereunto set
ray hand, and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this Goth
day Of October, in the year of our Lord 1876,
and of the independence of the United
States OF America the one hundred and first.
IL. 81 u. s. GRANT.
BY the President.
HAMILTON FISH, Secretary OF State.

ously wet with warm water, and simmer

To fasten labels to tin cans, put q tea

membering this.
FLIES are great nuisance-but puri-
fer. They use up all the little particles
Of filth, and render many apartments
comparatively healthful which without
them would be unfit to live in. So, in
shutting out flies great care should be
taken to still secure the best of ventila-
ton, and preserve everything in the
most perfect neatness.
MOTHS love darkness; therefore, to
keep them from clothing, air it repeat
edly in the sunshine. To keep them
from plush furniture, twice year, on a
sunny day, take the furniture out of
doors, remove the bottoms from the
chairs, il they can be removed, and give
the cushions good switching with long,
pliable switches, till the dust is removed,
then brush them thoroughly; while the
cushions are being summed, give the
frames coat of varnish.

Flower COlOrs.

q Q would hardly think that the FRA
grant violet and the bright-colored iris
would ever be utilized in commerce, but
it seems that an Italian chemist has Just
found out that they may be put to some
other purpose than that of g)addening
the eye and refreshing the nose. They
yield, it appears, very fine blue color,
and this is 80 sensitive to exterior infu-
ences as to render it of considerable val
ne to the analytical chemist. Most peo-
pie know that one of the best and most
delicate tests employed by chemists to
ascertain whether a solution is acid OF
not is to dip into it piece OF blue lit
mus paper, which at once reddens if the
least trace of acidity exists. In like
manner, the Redeemed litmus paper may
be employed in searching for alkalies, fol
the paper returns to blue tint Cd com.
ing in contact with these. The coloripg
principle of the violet and iris is found
to be more delicate still than litmus, and,
for this reason, we may expect soon to
see phyllocyanin-for so the new color is
called-introduced into all our labora.

Has the Shape OF the Organ any Musical
Significance

A writer in the London Musical World
says: A recent cursory description of the
well.knOwn Mozarteum, from the pen of
an intelligent correspondent in O daily
paper, mentions the fact that, amongst
the interesting relics of the divine COM
poser exhibited to the public gaze at
Salzburg, is drawing Of his ear, show
ing an abnormally large bell, as though
nature intended him to be gifted list
ener. 1t is note worthy that in all por-
traits, except those painted by the sun
itself, next to the boots, the ear seems to
present to the painter the greatest diff
Guilty. 1t is rarely one sees shoe beau
tifully drawn-perhaps it is still rarer
that the ordinary covering for the feet
presents anything that can be made
beautiful, even by skillful craftsman.
With the ear the observer cannot help
remarkipg the same absence of individ-
uality. Anything will do for an ear,
and daub or two, that would with equal
propriety represent dried fig or an
oyster, would do duty for the above
organ. In calling attention to this mat
ter venture to submit the results of
some OF my own observations in the hope
that something more may be elected on
this, as believe, most interesting ques-
ton. And l shall be extremely glad if
any person who is of opinion that my
conclusions are premature or cratic will
kindly contribute the result of his or
her individual experience: Small ears
are invariably under great disadvantage.
Large ears are usually indicative of
more comprehensive taste. A narrow

notes good ear for music. If the harp
is very regular, you may safely prognOs.
ticate correct information. For singer
the rim must be very even and the circle
unbroken. Any protuberance on the
rim of the ear will occasion a slight dis
crepancy of intonation-the singer will
not be at all times alike. Some have a
double harp-this is dangerous TO the
success of the singer. A perfect double
rim is, on the other hand, highly advan.
tageous. This is, however, open to the
weakness of being easily satisfied with
sweet sounds of any kind. The ear with
out rim is the most dainty and difficult
to please. 1t appears to receive, almost
as it were by selection, only the best
sounds ordinary sounds have no attrac-
ton for it. These are few of the lead
ing features Of the ear. Seeing that we
have casts of pianist's hands would it not
be as instructive to have casts of COM
posers ears? Surely the one is as i'm

Servia resumed the offensive on Thursday,
the 18th Of October, and battle began
which lasted three days. IL consisted OF two
distinct operations, one in front OF Saitschar,
and the other on the positions commanding
Deligrad. In the latter movement the Turks
captured, on Thursday, thirteen redoubts,
great quantities of arms and many prison
ers. The fight was long and bloody. The
Turks continued to advance. and on Satur-
day there was no further fighting. Hafiz
