to us, with our prayers for coDtinu
apce thereof We have at this time equal
reason to be thankful for His continued
protection and for many material bless

addition to those favors bestowed upon
us as individuals. We have special &C.
casiou to express our hearty thanks to
Almighty God that, by His providence
and guidance, our Government, estab.

to fill the purpose OF its founders III Of
fering an asylum to the people Of every
race, securing civil and religious liberty
| to all within its borders, and melting cut
to every individual justice and equality

ally our duty to offer our humble praise
to the Father Of all mercies for con-
tinuance of his divine favor to us as a
nation and as individuals; and by reason
of all these considerations. l, Ulysses 5.

and all secular occupations, to assemble
10 their respective places of worship and
observe such day as day of thanks
giving and rest, In witness whereof
have hereunto set my had. etc.

get twenty-nine States in order to do it,

Despite the sectional croaking and
adverse prophecy it is thought that after
paying all expenses the Centennial Com
,nissioners will have one and one-half
million dollars left in the treasury as the
net profit of the greatest exhibition the
world ever saw. OF course the value of
the exhibition cannot be computed in
dollars and cents; its good resulting in
auencs will be forever felt in the impetus
given to American manufacture, but it is
gratifying to every one to know that the
exposition OF 1876 was grand financial
success.

The Providence Rhode Island) Press
tells OF a romantic but very improbable
story OF mechanic of that town, who
fifty years ago determined to learn the
secret OF glazing Russian iron, which
secret is only taught to convicts con.
demned to penal servituie for life.
Nothing was heard from him but vague
rumor that he was concerned in an at
tempted assassination of the Gar, and
half q century passed over the head Of
the lovely girl to whom he was be-
trothed and who cherished his memory
fondly. Last week the now somewhat
ancient maiden received the announce.
ment that her lover WAS on his way back
to redeem his promise. It's almost q
pity the story is not true.

The absence Of any railway or Senatorial
fight makes the present campaign very
dry one throughout the State. In 1872
Nevada's vote was. 14.5i8. Grants ma.
jority being a little over 2.l00. In 1864
there was 1902 votes cast an increase
Of rs per cent. AT the same ratio the
vote OF '76 would aggregate $4,000. A
large number Of foreign.born citizens
have been naturalized this Fall, and the
full vote that Presidential election al.
ways calls out will, very probably, foot
up the last-named figures. Party
strength is pretty equally divided in
this State and both parties arc confident
Of success.
