states that within the last few months about

French Justice on the Spot.

A very absent-minded member of the
French institute was reading the news
papers in the casino at Dieppe the other
day. Engrossed by what he was reading,
his left hand unconsciously pushed the
files of newspapers ON the table, and over
went an inkstand, falling on the white
trousers of Paris banker. The offender
offered his best apologies without appeas-
ing the bankers wrath, who shrieked
that his brand-new pantaloon's were
ruined. "But, sir, will cheerfully pay
for them; be good enough to give me
your card and ! will send the money to
your hotel" "To nay hotel. Sir, /
don't know you. | must instantly have
the thirty francs those pantaloons cost"
The offender drew forth the thirty francs
and paid them; then he said: "Now
that you have been paid, | hope you have
too much of the delicacy of gentleman
to remain in my pantaloons. You know
those pantaloons are my property, and
insist on their immediate delivery to me.
You had no confidence in me; | have
none in you. My pantaloons!" In vain
the banker protested against such haste.
The crowd that had gathered around the
disputants said the member of the insti-
tute was right, and the banker, after
sending a servant for another pair of
pantaloons, surrendered the ink-stand
pair.-Paris Correspondent.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
THANkSGIVINGP GPROCLAMATIO

The completed circle of summer and
winter, seed time and harvest, has brought
us to the accustomed season at which religi
Gus people celebrate with praise and thanks.
giving the enduring mercy of Almighty
God. This deyout and public confession OF
the constant dependence of man upon the
Divine Father for all the good gifts of life
and health, and peace and happiness. so
early in our history made the habit of our
people, finds in the survey of the past year
grounds for its joyful and grateful manifes-
tatlon In all the blessings which depend
upon the benignant seasons. This has in
deed been memorable year. Over our
wide territory of country, with all it's diver
slty OF soil and climate and products, the
earth has yielded bountiful return to the
labor of the husbandman. The health of
the people has been blighted by no preya-
lent and wide spread diseases no great dis
asters of shlnwreck upon our coasts or to
our commerce on the seas have brought loss
and hardship to merchants or mariners, and
olouded the happiness of the community
with sympathetic sorrow. In all that con-
Germs our strength, and peace, and greatness
as nation, in all that touches the per-
manence and security of our government
aud the benefcient institutions on which it
rests; in all that affects the character and
dispositions of our people, and tests our
capacity to uphold and enjoy the equal and
Tree condition of society now permanent
and universal throughout the land, the ex-
perlence OF the last year is conspicuously
marked by the protecting providence of
God, and is full of promise and hope for
coming generations. Under a sense of
these Infinite obligations to the Great Ruler
OF the time and seasons and events, let us
hurnbly ascribe it to our own faults and
frallties if in any degree that perfect con-
cord and happiness, peace and justice,
which such great mercies should diffuse
through the hearts and lives of our people,
do not altogether and always prevail Let
us with one spirit and one voice lift up
praise and thanksgiving to God for His
manifold goodness to our hands, and His
manifest care tor the nation.
Now, therefore, l. Rutherford B. HAYES,
President of the United States, do appoint
Thursday, the 29th day OF November next,
as "a day of national thanksgiving and
prayer, and / earnestly recommend that,
withdrawing themselves from secular cares
and laoors, the people of the United States
do meet together on that day in their re-
spective places of worship, these to give
thanks and praise to Almighty God for his
mercies and devoutly beseech their continu-
ance.
In witness whereof, / have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done
at the city of Washington this 10Th
Il. S. day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-seven, and of the indie
pendence of the United States one
hundred and second.
