1hanksgiviug-Day.

Hail, hsil, Thanksgiving-day
Welcome to saints and sinners
Welcome TO all, both grea, and small,
Thou day of royal dinners.
See how they come from far and near,
A troop Of ''carpet- -baggers,"
To gra the board with one accord,
And appetites Ike daggers.
Who cares for Turkish war abroad?
Who cares for seri or Gar?
Our Turkey lies before our eyes;
Come and attack-hurrahl
With knife and fork we win the day,
A truce to care and sorrow.
Eat while we may, Thanksgiving-day
VIII fade before to morrow,
We're thankful for host of things
Too numerous to mention:
For sweethearts true and hearts to WOO,
And all things worth attention.
For all and everything that gives
Our lives SD much of pleasure
We offer thanks. Long may we taste
Thine oveIfiowing measure,
Then hail, hail, Thanksgi ying-day.
Thou day of royal dinnersi
Nor will we care if the grim nightmare
Should fright the soul within US
When day is done. Let Turkeys ghost,
With the nuts and puddings and wine,
In the dead of night begin their fight,
Still-victory is thinel

THE Colorado stone man Is now on
his way eastward, and is being exhibit
ed in the various cities through which
he passes. One is not inspired with
the most profound belief in the claim
that he is prehistoric petrifaction,
since he is in the hands OF show men,
and Mr.. Bsrnum has been willing to
pay only $l2, 900 for half share In him.
Were there convincing evidence that
he was really dug up, as Is asserted.
and that man once existed seven feet
five inches In height. with tail three
inches long, rhe finders could have re-
allied fortune. Whether he Is AN an
Client idol or near relative OF the
"Cardif Giant" remains to be seen.

THE FINANCES.
Prospects or the Anti Resump-
ton silver Bills in the Senate
and Before the Prsidenf.

Washington Special to n. 7. Herald.1
Unless the Democratic leaders take
more interest in defeating the Ewing
Anti Resumption bin than they have
done so far it is likely TO pass the
House. 1t is not believed, however,
that 1t can pass the Senate without
amendments which will entirely
change its purport aud effect and rem
der it harmless. There is an impress
ion that the Silver bin is strong in the
Senate, but it will NOT get out of the
Finance committee without at least
one amendment, which will be to turn
the profits from the coinage of silver
dollars into the Treasury instead of in
to the pockets of the owners of silver
bars, as the present bill shamelessly
provides. 1t is dou btfuI whether any
member of either housa will have the
hardihOOd to vote against such an
amendment. The present bill declares
that ANY owner OF silver bullion may
deposit the same at any United States
coinage mint or assay Office, to be coin
ed into such dollars for his benefit.U
A silver dollar is now worth between
nipty two and ninety three cents, aud
this bill simply provides that the
owners of silver bullion shall make AT
the expense of the people, about seven
cents on every dollar, one of the hand
soonest speeulstiOHs of recent years.
The amendments will provide that If
silver dollars are to be coined the
Treasury shall receive the difference in
value. 1t will be easy to vote down
such an amendment. Many of the
members of the House who voted for
the bill are already mortified at hay.
ing been led into voting for what il
seen to be q huge job, and they will
take care, if the Senate gives them q
chance. to redeem themselves from the
false position. The President will not
sign either the Silver or Anti-Resump
tion bills AS they stand. One of the
leading objects OF the Administration
as Secretary Evarts said a few DAYS
ago, is to resume specie payments, and
neither the President nor the Cabinet
will take a step backward ON this sub
ject.

LORD CoBHAM would tell stories,
though he had few to tell, and those he
told prosily. One day he was dining
at Sir Richard Temples. Bubb Dod-
ington was present, and after dinner
fell asleep, and had pretty long nap.
Temple rallied him, when Dodington
tried to deny that fact, aud offered to
bet ten guineas that he would repeat
all Gotham had been saying. His
Lordship accepted the wager and dar-
cd Dodington TO the proof. To his sur
prise, however, Bubb went through
the story Gotham had been telling
nearly word for word. "Surely," said
Temple, "you must possess the ex-
traordinary faculty of sleeping with
your ears Open." ''Far from it," re-
piled Dodington, "when i dozed off I
knew that the period had arrived when
C0bham would tell that story, 30 ]
went to sleep accordingly"

A story is told of a Chicago bride
who said to the groom as they slighfed
from the carriage at the church door,
she upon the ground and he upon the
trail of her dress-"Oh, dear how awk-
ward you are!" He said nothing, bus
evidently felt hurt. However, he gave
her his arm and they marched to the
altar. When she had said she would
take him to be her welded husband be
blurted out, "Ob, dear; how awkward

work on the new school house has been
interrupted for several days on account OF
stormy weather. However. the brick Law.
ers went to work yesterday. and as the
prospect is fair now for continued good
weather, the building will be completed at
an early day. In the various notices of
the school house Col. Chestnut has had all
the glory, whilst a greater share is due w.
}. Beall. Esq, the architect, who designed
the edilice, and is joint contractor. The
Trustees award much praise to Mr.. Beall
for the design, and rely principally upon
him for the completion of the house in an
elegant and durable manner. Whilst ali
will admit that Col. Chestnut is throwing
all bis energies into the contract, yet those
of us who have known him longest, feel
that his connection with the building is
merely ornamental and not as useful as his
friend w. j. Beall, who has no superior in
as an architect, and stands at the
head of his profession. He, we feel as
'ured, takes just pride in putting up the
school house in worklnanlike and sub
;tantial style, that viii be credit to BOze-
nan and the Territory.
