WHAT sCHURZ SAID IN CHICAGO.

from uae Chtcdg0 Itfaes, Sept, 10
Though Mr.. Schurz denies the direct
utterance of the opinion that Hayes will
certainly lose Chic In October, there is in
dubitable evidence that Mr. Schurz so
EXPRESSED himself in this city. He said
in effect that only sense of personal 10y
atty compelled him to remain in the can
vass, as he saw that the load of Grantism
was defeating Hayes before the campaign
had begun. This Mr.. Schurz may not
have written, as the report alleges, but if
he gave it utterance so readily as he did
10 this city, may he not have indicated it
it in letter? The Republican, Grants
scullion organ in Washington, declares
positively that the letter has been seen in
Washington. and from droppings we have
heard from MIR. Schurz we are inclined to
believe that the denial procured by the
agent of the associated press in this city
is not genuine, or, if genuine, is such a
bubble as does not become the reputation
Of a man like Carl Schu,z. 1t is due to
himself that he explain these curious con-
tradictions.

A FRIENDLY WORD FoR CARL.

From The Washington Republican,
Carl Schurz has always been noted as
an agitator aud theorist-a man. in short,
who follows wild vagaries, and is never
satisfied with the surrounding condition cf
affairs. 1t is not to be wondered at, there
fore, that he is a disturbing factor 10 the
present campaign. He has pretended to
carry the German vote in his pocket so
often-for instance, in lS72-that neither
native nor adopted citizens have much
faith in him iu these later days.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
WA, HINGToN, October 2G.


By the President Of the limited States
Of 1mcIicu Proclamation
From year to year we have been
accustomed to pause in our daily pur-
suits and set apart time to offer our
thanks to Almighty God for the spec
ial blessings lie has vouchsafed, with
our PRAYERS for a continuance thereof.
We have at this time equal reason
to be thankful for His continued pro-
lection and for the many material
blessings which His bounty has be-
slowed. In addition to these favors
accorded TO US as individuals, we have
special occasion to express our hearty
thanks to Almighty God that by His
providence and guidance our Govern
ment, established century ago, has
been enabled TO fulfil the purpo:o OF
its founders in offering an asylum TO
the people of every race, securing civ
il and religious liberty to all within
its borders, and meeting out to every
individual alike justice and equality
before the law. 1t is, moreover, es-
pecially our duty to offer our humble
prayers to the Father of all mercies
for continuance Of His divine favor
to us as nation and as individuals.
BY reason of all these considera-
tions |, Ulysses S. Grant, President Of
The United Sta les, do recommend tc
the people of the United States tc
devote the Both day Of November
next to the expression of their thanks
and prayers to Almighty God, and
laying aside their daily avocations
and all secular occupations, to assem-.
lie in their respective places of wor-
ship and observe such day as 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 tue city of Washington this
twcnty-sixth day Of October, in the

Monster Girod is an ingenious
Frenchman who has devised for him
self unique livelihood. This was to
go to religious establishments and de.
mand adm:ttarce, stating that he had
$4,000 which he would make over to
the community. His property, he
said, was in Turin, and $500 would
be necessary to effect the transfer.
The good fathers might send one Of
the order with him to see that all
was right. The fathers generally did,
and when Girod got to Turin with
his victim, he easily obtained the
money from him and decamped. At

GREENBAcKs RESCUED FROM The
GRAvE.-Last week nasty, dlscol-
ored, and WORKOUT leather pocket
book was sent to the Treasury with
the following affidavit from Arkan-
,sas "While ploughlng my field |
lost my pocketbook, which contained
"A 500 note, a $50, and 500. Next
year when ploughing the same field |
unearthed it. | send it and its con-
tents for identification" The pock-
etbook was given to lady who is a
great expert. She carefully removed
the mould and debris, but, alas, the
legal tenders had not been proof
against frost and earthly mould.
There were only a fev black crumbs
in the place Of the crisp, fresh notes.
The lady took tissue paper the size of
a greenback. She carefully separa-
ted the black particles, and as if by
magic, she recognized letter here
and there. These she stuck on
the tissue paper with mucilage, until
she found clue by which she could
identify each note. She proved that
they were notes of the National Bank
of Baltimore, Maryland, and by her
knowledge and patience she caused
the notes to be redeemed by new
ones, and the farmer has not lost a
cent by planting bank notes, though
his crop has nos increased Wash.
