Curious Thanksgiving Custom.

At the annual dinner at Clements Inn
Gondon), after the banquet of that
learned society, members and guests rise
on the removal of the white cloth and wit
ness the 70 lowing thanksgiving in pan
tomime: Before the President of the sec
ond table the butler puts mass of bread,
consisting of four loaves adhering to each
other by their kissing crusts; taking this
mass OF bread in his hand, the said Pres
ident of the second table slowly raises it
above his head to the full reach of his
arm, and after few moments pause
brings it down with laundering whack
on the oaken table. A second time the
bread is elevated and struck upon the
board. Yet third time the same feat is
performed; and then, before the strangers
have had time to recover from their as
constituent, the grave 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 represent 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 iberality with which the bread of
life was given to mankind; and the alac-
rity with which the butler ran out of the
hall exempli6es the alacrity with which
jealous servants hasten to distribute the
bread of spiritual knowledge to those
who hunger for it.

A Murderous MAYOR.

A very unfortunate occurrence for the
city of Hot Springs has just TRANSFERRED.
A new daily paper called the Sentinel,
having commenced it's publication only
about forty days since, deemed it essen
tial to criticise several classes and indi-
viduals in reference to their habits and
occupations, among whom was the Mayor
of the city, L. +. Linde. The Mayor,
feeling aggrieved at the course pursued
by the employees of the Sentinel Office,
met the city editor on the street, drew
his revolver when near his victim, and
commenced firing at Mr.. Matthews, the
city editor, who clinched with the Mayor
after he had been shot through the
wrist, and in the engagement with Mayor
Linde received another shot through the
right breast, also breaking his right arm
below the shoulder-joint. The editor
finally secured the pistol, which in the
melee had fallen to the ground, but did
not use it. The Mayor then drew an
other pistol and shot Aid. Davis (colored)
through the thigh, and another man by
the name of After, who was peddling
canes, through the shoulder. Another
colored man also came in for share in
the way of wound for being in the vi
cinity of the random discharge of the
revolver. The latter were probably not
dangerously shot, Mayor Linde was
psomptly arrested by the City Marshal,
and was discharged, after giving the re-
quired bonds for his appearance. Hot

The Republican United States Senator'S were
again in caucus last week. The purpose Of the
caucus was to hear and consider the report to
be made by the Caucus Committee, which, Wis
tied the President, and to determine what
future action if any should be taken. All the
Senators at the interview expressed themselves
to the caucus convinced that the President was
thoroughly sincere in his belief. They also
reported that the President said he was very
DESTROYS to be in harmony with the leaders Of
the party, and was gratifed to have had
the opportunity of ascertaining thus definitely
and clearly the views expressed. Advice and
candid criticism would always be welcome to
him, and he hoped and believed there would
be less cause for complaint in the future. In
any event, if there should be differences Of
opinion, there need be no occasion for ill-feel-
ing, and he trusted there would be none.
Free discussion followed as to the propriety
and presumable effects OF the Presidents policy
in case il should be pursued by him and acqui-
esced in by the Senate. The interchange OF
views developed the almost unanimous opinion
that ike policy of appointing Democrats to
Office in the South is not wise or sound, and
Senators known as friends OF the administra-
ton expressed doubts whether its pursuance
would have the effect Of which the President
is sanguine.

NEWS SUMMARY
TIE WAR IN THE EAST.

Constantinople di spatches state that "the
Russians have been repulsed near Kars after
prolonged fighting. There has been heavy
snow in Asia. A council Of war under the
Presidency OF the Sultan decided to largely re-
inforce Mehemet Ali. Rumors of peace nego-
tiations are denied"
A dispatch from Poredin says the Russians
summoned Osman Pasha to surrender, and the
latter refused.
Gable dispatches express the opinion that the
Russian forces operating against Erzeroum are
inadequate to its capture by regular siege, and
that the place must be taken by assault or the
Russians retire to the Soghanli mountains.
The Russian losses in killed, wounded and
missing since the beginning OF hostilities to
Nov Z are officially stated as 81, 1853.
The Russians captured Kars on the 18th Of
November, after twelve hours battle.
Later accounts fully confirm the report that
the city of Kars, in Asia Minor, with 800 can
mons, stores, ammunition, cash, ETC., has fallen
into the Russian hands. The Turks lost 8, 900
in killed and wounded, 10000 prisoners, and
many flags. The Russian loss was about 2,700.
The Russian soldiers made but trifing booty,
and spared peaceful citizens, women and chill
dren. This is q severe blow to the Turkish
power in Armenia.
1t is reported that the Montenegrins have
stormed and captured the citadel Of Spitza.
This gives them possession of the coast from
the Austrian frontier to Boyana.

Important to Newspaper Publishers.

The greatest annoyance experienced
by postal clerks and mail agents whose
duty it is to distribute newspaper pack
ages from the Office of publication comes
from the custom adopted by some pub
fishers of using printed paper for wrap
pers, the labels on which are printed or
written SO small and indistinctly that
they are not readily made out besides
such wrappers are very liable to burst
open either before or after they reach
the distributing clerks and thus cause
serious delay and trouble. Having
heard much complaint ON this account
from the postal service, we are not sur
prised to learn that an order has been
issued from the department to the effect
that hereafter newspapers sent to regu-
lar subscribers from the Office of publ
cation must not be done up in old news
papers or any sort of printed matter. If
they are, they are subject to transient
postage.

TWO BROTHERS LIVING TwESrY-EIGHT YEARS
IN IGNORANCE OF EACH OTHERS WHERE
ADoUTS.
lCiuciunai Enquirer, Sth.I t.....
Ii does not often occur that brothers live
twenty-cight years in ignorance OF each
Others whereabouts and then are brought
together by chance. 4 case of this kind,
however. has just come to light in Gin
cinnati. Dr. Stark, who lives on Seventh
street near Walnut, has recently found i
brother who has been lost for over quarter
a century. Dir. Stark was born in the
city OF Turnowitz. Prussia, where his
mother and relatives are still residing.
Twcnty-eight years ago this younger bro
ther, Henry Hermann Stark, for some mis-
demeanor was chastiscd by his father.
Henry was eight years OF age at that time,
and, bov-lke. took the punishment so
much TO heart that he ran away from
home. No one could obtain 4 trace
of the missing lad, though dtligent
search was made. Ten years later his
folks heard that lie was living in Paris with
family named Papcnhcim, who had
adopted him and were educating him Us
one OF their children. 4 few years later
all trace OF the runaway was again lost,
and when the elder Stark died, about nine
years ago, his widow found herself, under
the law OF Prussia, unable. to sell any OF
her deceased husbands property on &C
count OF the lost son. Meanwhile, Or.
Stark had grown to manhood and came to
Amerca-to Cincinnati in fact-and began
to practice medicine; since which time he
has by skill and energy built up large
business among the ISraelites OF the city.
About ten months ago lie fell III with
gentleman resident Of London, who was at
-. hn
came intimate, and in the course OF their
conversation one day the Englishman
asked him il he had q brother living in Lon
don. DR.. Stark answered in the negative.
The Englishman said that he asked for the
reason that he knew physician in London
who looked as much like DR.. Stark rs
though they were brothers. When the
Englishman went back to London be car
red with him Il photograph Of DR.. Stark
for the purpose OF showing 1t to the Lon
don physician, whom he employed profes-
sionallv in his family. This physicians
name, by the way, was Henry Hermann.
Three months ago DR.. Hermann wrote to
DR.. Stark, and asked for history OF his
family and pedigree. DR.. Stark replied,
setting forth in full his family history,
and, among other things, narrated the
story Of his lost brother. By return mail
he received letter from DR.. Hermann, In
which he stated that he was the lost brother,
and that he would Immediately visit his
mother in Prussia. That visit has been
made, and he is now en- route to this coun-
try on a visit to DR.. Stark. After he left
home he dropped his family-name and re-
tanned only Henry Hermann, by which he
was ever after known. Thus, after twenty
eight long years are two lost brothers about
to be brought together on account Of their
resemblance to each other, which was noticed
by mutual friend. s. - ,-.r. .-.
