WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The follow.
ing proclamation was issued by the
President to day:
By the President OF the United States OF
America:
From year to year to year we have
been accustomed to pause In Cur dali
ly pursuits, and set apart a time to
offer our thanks to Almighty God for
special blessings He has vouchsafed
to US, with our prayers for q contin-
uance thereof. We have at this time
equal reason to be thankful for His
continued protection, and for many
material blessings which His bounty
has bestowed. In addition to the IA
vors accorded to us as individuals We
have especial occasion to express 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 the people OF every race,
securing civil and religious liberty to
all within its borders, and meteing
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 continuance of His
divine favor to us as a nation and as
individuals. BY reason OF these con-
siderations, 1, Ulysses s. Grant, Pres
ident OF the United States, do rec
ommend to the people of the United
States to devote the Both day OF No
vember next to the expression OF
their thanks and prayers to Almighty
God, and, laying aside their daily
ayocations and all secular occupa-
tons, to assemble in their respective
places OF worship and observe such
day as a day OF thanksgiving and
rest.
In witness whereof have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal
OF the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city OF Washington

the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy six, and

The Fiery Lake.

A remarkable address has been de-
ivered by Sir William Thompson in
the Physical Section OF the British
Association on the subject OF the fluid
or solid nature of the earth's kernel
While not denying that certain por-
tons Of the earth's inCerior are in a
molten or fluid state, Sir William
Thompson maintained, on various
moro or less reconcile grounds, that
no large proportion of the earth's in
terror can by any possibility be in the
condition Of molten fluid.
Il may say, with almost perfect GER
tainty. that whatever may be the rel
alive densities of rock solid and melt
ed, at or about the temperature OF
liquefaction, it is 1 think. quite GER
tain that cold solid rock is denser
than hot melted rock; and no posi-
BILE degree Of rigidity in the crust
could prevent it from breaking in
pieces and sinking wholly below the
liquid lava. Something like this may
have gone on and probably did go on
fer thousands Of years after solidifi-
cation commenced; surface portions
Of the melted material losing heat.
freezing and sinking Immediately, or
growing to the thickness of few
metres where the surface would be
cool, and the whole solid dense
enough to sink.
@This process must go on until the
sunk portions of crust build up from
the bottom sufficiently close ribbed
skeleton or frame to allow fresh in
crustations to remain, bridging across
the now small areas of lava-pools or
lakes" That is striking picture OF
the growth of the round earth, I"
which was once supposed to have
been made from the first so fast that
ii cannot be moved" We are Father
sorry to be robbed of the belief i'm the

Marriage OF a Daughter Of the Roths.

The richest heiress in the world

was great sporting man, and he was
very much attached TO Lord Roseber.
ry, who has now taken to himself one
OF the most amiable, IL not the hand
soonest, OF the Rothchild ladies'. Lord
Roseberry was born in 1S47, and is
consequently in his twenty-ninth
year. The late Baron left SAC, O0O, 600,
and his daughter, being his only child
received $35,0OO,OOO OF it under her
fathers will. The Rothscfiild are
very averse to these marriages; and
even when Hon. Eliot Yorke, about
two years ago, married Miss Annie de
Rothschild, the second daughter OF
Sir AnthCay Rothschild, the feeling
about the marriage was 80 keen that
Sir Anthony forbade it. 1t took place,
however, though her father refused
to give her a dowry. The ex- equerry
to the Duke OF Edenburg could afford
to put up with the loss, for she had
an income OF some e1S,OOO per annum
which she derived from her grand
father.

I" White Loom"

The old Indian chief white Loon

107 years white Loon" was "A relic
and about the last one in this part
OF the country-of the Miami tribe OF
Indians, which was formerly so pow

the place where Peru is at present
situated. in 1869, when the famous
chief Richardville, the Shawnee, was
in command. white Loon retained
his faculties in a wonderful degree
until a Few months since. His sight
aud hearing were somewhat impaire 4
but his memory was not at all affect
ed. and he could distinctly remember
events which occurred ninety five
years ago. He recollected Tecumseh

OF old Fort Wayne frequently. He
understood no other tongue than the

Gigantic Roses.

California, says San Francisco pa
per, has very justly boosted OF her gil
gantic trees, her lofty mountains. her
gorgeous Yosemite valley, her tower
ing waterfall, and her vast grainfields
orchards, vineyards, gardens, ETC.,
and we now can boast OF her giant
rosevines. Sometime since when at
San Jose we paid a visit to the fine
garden OF Jackson Lewis, the we'll
known citizen and matchmaker of
that place. He is also an amateur
florist OF excellent taste and ability,
who has fine residence, and makes it
a point to have all the choice gems in
his grounds, and to see them well
cared for too. Mr.. Lewis has a neat
conservatory also, with many rare
and curious plants, In fine growth.
We found at these grounds immense
climbing roses Of many years growth,
and at that time in full bloom, count
Ing by the thousands; we noted a

PUBLIC BATHING DENOUNCED.
Prof. Reamy's Views of the Hygiene
Of Bathing.

The Cincinnati Commercial has a
full report OF DR.. Reamy's interesting
lecture on the use and Abuse OF
Baths" before the faculty and stu
dents of the Ohio Medical College,
from which we extract the following
But important as it Is to keep these
millions of sudatory ducts open, it is
very questionable whe her lavish
use of soap and scrubbing- brushes
has the tendency to do so. In fact
the contrary may be presumed; fol-
the application of soap to the outer
cuticle, scrubbed well into the pores
with rough brush, must rather
block up the capillaries than open
them. The application Of very warm
water surcharges the skin with
blood, while that of very cold water
drives back the blood and contracts
the capillaries.
There are other reasons, however,
why soap and scrubbing brushes are
not only unnecessary to health, but
even iniinical to it. The outer cuti-
cle,or scurf skin of the body, is COM
posed of the same material as the
nails, although the fiber is somewhat
differently arranged. 1t is, in fact, the
enamel of the skin, and it's proper
preservation gives TO the skin OF a
beautiful woman the ivory polish 81
much admired. 1t is the protection
OF the true skin beneath. But, like
the substance of the nails, in may be
painlessly scraped or scrubbed off
1t can all be scrubbed off easily
enough, il one keeps scruhbing long
enough. Under the microscope it is
scaly, like the skin OF fish; aud these
scales may be easily scraped away
Nearly all soap contains strong aka
lis, which soften the epithelitim Oh
scurf-skin, and render it easily re-
moved by rough scrubbing. A strong
sh-brush, rough towel and hot
water are all wonderfully efficacious
in removing this protecting mem
brane, but are wholly unnecessary to
health and cleanliness. The only
really healthy and pro per water bath
costs little or nothing, and can be
taken at home. Some say they have

requires only eight minutes before
breakfast, which every one not inor-
dinately lazy can take. Go to u tin
ner and get him TO make you a tin
tray, about two inches deep and
eighteen inches square. This will
cost about sixty cents. Then buy a
sponge, which will cost you about a
quarter. With the tin pan, a sponge
and gallon Of water, you have all
the requirements FOR an excellent
bath, and every person should take
such bath daily. 1t is only neces.
sary to sponge yourself thoroughly
from head to foot, and wipe dry with
soft towel. The exercise OF doing
this ones self-no one else should dc
it's excellent. The water should
be about the same temperature as the
atmosphere, il you are healthy and
strong, but IL the weather is intense
ly cold, trepid water may be substi
tuted. But the bath should not be
taken with the window open or in a
current OF air, and the water should
be OF the same temper AZURE as the at
mosphere in the room.

GENERAL CUSTER.


lwhittakers Life Of Custer. unpublished.l
General Custer was promoted at
one bound from Lieutenant Of Cay
airy to be . Brigadier- General. At
the time that it occurred it was en-
tirely unexpected Custer had, how
ever, felt from the beginning Of his
career full conviction that he would
win distinction in the war. In his
open and frank way he had often
spoken of Ii to his brother officers, at
their long, freight talks He had re-
ceivsd q good deal Of ridicule on this
point from his comrades.
At the battle Of Aldie, Lieutenant
Custer may be said to have almost
turned defest into one of our most
brilliant cavalry Victories. His BIZ
ographer says:
"One evening, eleven days otter
Aide, when Custer returned to head
quarters, after long ride, in which
he had been posting the pickets Of
the entire corps for the night, he was
greeted in the largo tent, where the
staff was wont to gather at night, by
the salutations, Halo, Generali

eral, 1 congratulate your You're
looking well. Generali' The greet
ings came from all quarters of the
tent whore STAFF officers were ioung-
ing. smoking. chatting, Laughing. tell
ing stories. They impressed Custer
as being merely a continuation Of the
usual ill-natured banter on the SUBJ
ject of his aspirations, and, further as
being carried little too far. How
ever, he had always been noted for
his remarkable control over . hot and
hasty temper, and he was not going
to allow his comrades to laugh him
out of it on this occasion. Still, II
was with some bitterness that he an
swered:
"You may laugh. boys. Laugh as
long as you please, but will be a
General yet, for all your cha1. You
see il don't, that's ALL
He was greeted by q universal
shout Of laughter in answer. 1t SEEM
cd a. II his tormentors were deter
mined to irritate him into an explo-
sion; and they nearly succeeded; for
his blue eyes began to fash. and he
looked around as If seeking some one
on whom to fix q quarrel. His old
friend Yates, afterwards brevet lieu
tenant-colonel, and captain In the
Seventh United States cavalry, and
ono of the little band of heroes who
fell with CUSTER whom he had been
himself the means Of putting on
Pleasonton's stan. came to his relief
with few words:
Look on the table, old fellow.
They're not chatting He pointed to
the table in the tent, and there, in the
midst, lay q large, official envelope,
and on it was written, 'Brigadier-
General George A. Custer, U. 8. Vols

and the young fellow was completely
overcome A moment later, and all
his old comrades we're gathered
around him in real earnest. eongratu-
