Curious Thanksgiving Custom.

At the annuaj dinner at Clements Inn,
(London), after the banquet of that learned
society, members and guests rise on the
removal of the white cloth and witness the
following thanksgiving in paatomlme:
Before the president of the second table
the butler puts mass of bread consisting
of four loaves adhering to each other by
their kissing or usts. Taking this mass Of
bread in his hand, the said president of the
second table slowly raises it above his head
to the full reach of his arm, and after a few
moments pause brings it down with a
laundering whack on the oaken table. A
second time the bread is elevated and struck
apeH the reseunding board. Yet a third
time the same feat is performed and then,
before strangers have had time to recover
from their astonishment, the grace actor
has thrown the bread SO that it slides and
spins down to the bottom of the long table,
where it is caught up. by the butler, who
instantly runs out of the dining hall with
it in his outstretched hands. The whole
grace is typical. The four loaves repre-
sent the Four Gospels the three elevations
are in reverence of the Three Persons of the
Sacred Trinity the manner in which the
bread is cast down the table indicates the
liberality with which the Bread Of Life was
given to mankind and the alacrity with
which the butler ran out of the hall exem-
plifies the alacrity with which Jealous SER
wants hasten to distribute the bread of
spiritual knowledge to those who hunger
for it. Montreal Gazette. -...

Remarkable Presence Of Mind.

Owing to the alleged necessity of pushing
the work as fast as possible on the New
Point bridge, Pittsburg, the contractors
had the men who are employed in joining
the three cables engaged all day yesterday.
They are compelled to work in a &c basket"
or platform, which is suspended above the
river at about the height Of ninety feet
from the water. Yesterday afternoon a
workman by some accident fell off the
platform. Hanging from the platform was
a rope that reached nearly to the water.
In his frightful descent the man attempted
to grasp the rope, but as he kept turning
somersaults in the air he was unable to
reach it until within about twenty feet Of
the water, when he succeeded in grasping
the rope with both hands. He was at first
unable to stop his descent, and slid down
the rope for about fifteen feet, until his
feet nearly touched the water. Then, to
the astonishment of the people on the
banks who had seen with horror his terri
BILE fall, he commenced climbing back upon
the rope hand over hand. Then the crowd
cheered him Justify, and his companions on
the platform drew him up uniniured, ex-
cept the inside of his hands, which were
badly lacerated.

The Story Of d Grenaaier.

In the year 1900 Latour d. AuTergne,
descendant of Turenne, fell on the field OF
battle. He had joined the French army in
the place of his son, and constantly refused
promotion, and SO exemplary was his con-
duct that he was named " the first grena-
dier of France" Napoleon directed that
"the heart of Latour d. AuVergne, first
grenadier of the republic, who fell at the
battle Neubourg, shall continue to be car
ried ostensibly by the quartermaster ser
geant of the grenadier company of the 4Gth,
in which he served. The name of Latoul
dAuvergne shall be preserved on the roll
call !; and, in answer to his name, the cor
poral of the squad to which he was attach
shall answer, Dead On the field of honor. y
This custom is still observed.

The Black Hills.

There are some ten Settles" and thirty
different mining camps in the Black Hills.
The principal cities are Deadwood and
Custer. The latter last year was the sup
ply point, and contained 5000 inhabitants.
Tt has now dwindled down to 400. There
are Hill City, Lead City, Montana, Gay
City. Elizabethtown and other camps. The
total population now in the Hills is thought
by the best informed to be about 1O,0Oe'
How much gold has been taken out by this
swarm of prospectors it is hard to tell.
Some think it will exceed $75, 600. But
even this would be poor wages for three
months work Of 10000 men supposing all
had giyen their time to mining. Whhe
some have doubtless made their fortunes,
the areat mass have not ''made grub" as
the expression is. The merchants and
snecnlators in the various towns have
lively trade and big profits, 50 Of course
they are doing well, and are more than sat-
isffed with the prospects. The frelght'ng
teams and stage lines are making a gooa
thing. Gold dust circulates freely and
preenbacks are at discount. Pretty much
all the stores, saloons, hotels it'd efHees,
have scales and make their barter in dust
reckoning it at $40 per ounce.
