Thanksgiving-Day.

Illinois is entitled, we rather think, to
the credit of giving the first official rec
ignition of the actual object of Thanks
giving-Day. Presidential and Guber-
material proclamations innumerable
have in the past enlarged more or less
eloquently upon the ostensible purpose
of the observance, all the while ostenta-
tiously ignoring the existence of the
turkey and cranberry-Sauce which con-
stituted the true center of attraction and
the really serious business of the day.
But Gov. Cullom, in his proclamation
Just issued, takes the bull by the horns
or rather holds up the turkey by the
feet-and tells the people just what they
are really expected to do. Says Gov.
Cullom:
Therefore call upon the citizens of Hi
nois to assemble in their places of religious
worship, and around their tables and IRE
sides. to make this holiday, q day Of rest
and feStiUity; not forgetting its religious
observance, but, ADORE all, Gay for the re-
assembling Of scattered kindred, in order to
the closer Knitting Of those domestic ties
which are the pledge and ground Irrational
union and prosperity.
This is not quite SO plainly expressed
as it might be; but something mast be
pardoned to the habit of using diplo-
matte language in official documents; ;
and on the whole it does very we'll.
He must be a dull reader who does not
see that the Governor means that folks
are to get together and eat turkey and
cranberry sauce, and have good time
generally, and go home with the girls
in the evening-and that that is what
the day is although they n1dV, Incl
dentally, go to church if they feel like
it.
Well done, GovernOr-for first eff
fort! You will be able to express your
self still more clearly another time, but
you haven't done badly this year,

A Large Family.

Hon. VIM. NJ. Evarts has eleven pref
ty daughters, and in reference thereto
an unreliable correspondent says
{" When Mr.. Evarts travels with his
family he charters a car. But ne doesn
like to 90 to a sleeping-car agent and
say, Give me twelve lower berths and
one upper because the agent always
looks at him and asks if it is a theatre
cal troupe, and if they have arranged for
special rates. So he charters sleeper,
and says no more about it. OF course,
when Mr.. Evarts presents that pass for
the Hon. VIM NJ. Evarts and family,
there is ripple of excitement, but he
has learned TO bear this with equanimity,
and frown down any giggling that may
appear impending on the part OF the
conductor"

A Mad Dog in Church.

Last evening during the service at st.
Dominick's Church, on State Street. .
large black dog was seen to enter and
walk up one of the aisles. He was
frothing at the mouth, and some one
fearing he was mad attempted to drive
him out, but without effect. After snap
ping at several and creating quite an
excitement, the animal lay down, but
just as the service was closing arose and
began to walk among the terrified peo-
pie. One man was bitten slightly on
the back of the hand in trying to put
him out, and little child In going out
Of church was badly bitten The dog
at last retired to the entry-way off the
altar, and an officer was sent for to dis
pose of the animal, which he did after
firing several shots.-Portland (Re.)

He packed his valise in his bedroom,
Then carefully raised the sash,
And attached TO the well worn handle
The end of a long whiplash.
Softly he lowered the treasure,
And thought how the landlord would swear
When he rose in the morning
And found that ms man wasn't there.
Slowly the valise descended
Into the darkness of night,
When the voice of the landlord shouted,

If man thinks it in order to get
drunk on his wedding day, lie ought to
put off the 90 drunk" until after the mar
riage ceremony. This little piece of
advice is suggested by the fate of Lud-
low ID. Frazee of Philadelphia. He was
engaged to marry young lady of
Plainfeld, Ocean Beach, N. ]. The
day was set, and the bride was ready,
but the bridegroom did not come. The
wedding was necessarily postponed.
On the way to Ocean Beach Frazee
met some congratulating friends, and
they drank him senseless. After few
days of sobering-uph he went to Plainfield.
The young lady and her mother shut
the door in his face. He hung around
the house, and the young lady's friends
gave him black eye and ran him out
of the village. He hung around the
outskirts of the village, and the local
police told him to move on. He was
too mean to stay en- Jersey soil, and he
went back to Pennsylvania, a single and
sad man.

Earth from Borneo.

In the last century merchant vessel
came into London docks with yellow
fever, and the captain was suffering Sc
verely from it, and no one would go
near the sufferers. DIR. Fothergill, how
ever, went on board, partly out of COM
passion, and partly from his desire to
study disease which was new to him,
and he removed the captain to his own
house, and finally succeeded in getting
him through the fever. When the cap
tain recovered, he inquired from the
doctor what he was in his debt, but
Fothergill refused to receive any pay
ment. The captain then wished TO
know how he could compensate him for
such kindness, upon which the doctor
replied that there was one thing he could
do for him, if he were making voyage
to the East, and would pass through the
straits of Macassar by Borneo, he should
be glad if he would bring him back two
barrels full of earth of Borneo, which
the captain promised to do. However,
when he reached the spot of his voyage
out, he thought of the ridicule he must
experience from his crew in so strange
an undertaking, and his heart failed

him, and he sailed through the straits
without fulfilling his intention. On his
return 10y the same route the same thing
happened again through his fear of the
SCOTS of his crew. However, when he
had left the straits 200 or possibly 800
miles behind him, his conscience smote
him with his ingratitude and the nom
fulfillment of his promise, and he put
the ships head about, returned to the
spot, and filled the barrels with the
earth. On his return he sent it to DIR.

ground thoroughly burned, and he then

A Submerged City in the Lake of Geneva

A strange discovery is reported from
the Lake of Geneva. A tourist having
lost his trunk, two divers were employ
ed to search for it. While they were
below water they found what they sup
posed to be a village, since covered by
the lake. Their statements led to an in
vestigation Of the spot by the municipal
authorities, who took measures to ascer-
tain the truth of the extraordinary ac-
count of the divers. On covering the
placid surface with oil, these latter were
able to distinguish the plan of the town,
streets, squares, and detached houses,
making the bed of the lake. The rud-
dy hue which characterized them led
the observers to suppose that the build
ings had been covered with the famous
the Celts, Cimbri, and the early Gauls.
There are about 200 houses arranged
over an oblong surface, near the middle
of which is space more open, supposed
to have been used for public assemblages.
At the Eastern extremity lies a large
square tower, which was taken for q
rock. A superficial investigation seems
to indicate that the construction of these
buildings dates from some centuries be-
fore our era. The Council of Vaud has
decided to have the site of the dwellings
inclosed by jetty stretch from the land
and to drain off the water, so as to bring
to light what promises to be one of the
most interesting archaeological dis
coveries of our day.
