From the Daily of Wednesday.

In accordance with the proclama-
ton of Gov. Ferry, tomorrow will
be observed in this Territrry as a
day of thanksgiving to God for the
blessings vouchsafed to us during
the past year. This custom of OBJ
serving one day in the year as day
of thanksgiving has descended from
the Pilgrim Fathers; originally it
was strictly day of religious exer-
cises, and included big dinner as
feature of the day. Gradually
the dinner part Of it has grown in
Importance until at last about all
that is required in an observance of
Thanksgiving day is to partake of
bountiful dinner in which turkey is
the central figure; even the proven
bal pumpkin pie has dropped out
as necessity. A small portion of
the church goers, in addition to the
dinner, listen to an address at one
of the churches, which is supposed
to recount the things for which We
should be thankful.
The day will be very generally
observed in this city, many of the
business firms having signitied their
intention of closing their places OF.
business except for small portion
of the day. At II o'clock A. NJ. a
Thanksgiving service will be held
at the Presbyterian church, in which
all of the churches will unite. DR..
Dillon will deliver the address, and
other speakers will assist in the
exercises. The music of the occas
ion will be unusually fine some of
our best vocalists having been Sc
cured for the occasion. The Thanks
giving dinner part of the holiday
will be the feature of the day, if the
number of turkeys decapitated this
week indicate anything. In the
evening the Sing Verein Germania
will give grand ball in Yesler's
Hall, and from the preparations be-
ing made, we should set this down
as one of the principal features of
the enjoyments. However the day
is passed, everyone seems determin-
ed to have good time.

The man who lodged on the side

FAILED. A DISPATCH reporter
called on some of our leading bust
ness firms this morning to see if all
were agreed to close their places Of
business Tomorrow between the
hours of 10 A. M. aud 4 P. M. All
were anxious to- enter into such an
agre ement, and a number expressed
their intention of closing whether
others did or not. The only diff
Guilty encountered in this undertak-
ing was the refusal of many of the
firms to enter into this agreement
until all of the others had done SO.
AS there could be but one last on
the list; and so many sought the po-
sition, it was found impossible to
publish the agreement as originally
intended. However, there is no
doubt but the greater part of the
business houses will be closed be-
tween the hours mentioned, so pur-
chasers should not fail to do their
buying in the morning.
RAILROAD MATTERs.-The Walla
Walla papers are becoming interest
ed in the Seattle and Walla Walla
Railroad, We give the following
from the Watchman: "Hopes for
the Seattle and Walla Walla Rail
road are reviving. Let them bios
som and bloom until we can break
fast in Walla Walla and sup ?" in
Seattle on the same day. We take
more interest in the building and
speedy completion of that road than
we do in the doings Of our Legisla
ture or the result of the proposed
convention for the parpose of be-
coming big State" But they are
not so much in favor of the State
Constitution as of the railroad, as
note the following from the same
paper: "On the 9th day of April,
1878, our voters of this county will
be called upon to vote for or against
railroad aid for the Seattle and
Walla Walla Railroad. and we hope
they will leap to the front and vote
boldly: Yes. But when you vote
on the acceptance of the State Con-
stitution as presented next fall, then
let your vote say emphatically: No.

AAo oItdSe WIS., DeWOCfUt
gives the following curious pas
sage in real life:
In the burial ground near the
county poor house at Wyocena,
are two graves side,by side, con-
gected with which is a story full
of interest and instruction. Fitz-
gerald and Manley, said to have
been two Irishmen Of noble
birth, are buried there. In their
youth and early manhood life
was all rose-colored to- them. All
that money could procure they
had, and they travelled every
where in Great Britain and on
the continent, "and cities saw
and princely pomp;;" and were
lavish in their expenditures
At last they came to the United
States. All the details of theiE.
decadence is not known, but they
grew to be old men finally, and
went down in the social scale
faster than they made the de-
scent of life. One of them was,
for some time in the poor house
in Marquette county, and the
wanderings of both came to an.
end at Wyocena. When Fitz-
gerald was, sick unto death the
intelligence reached his wife in
the old country. and she
came all the way from Ireland,
a lady in birth, dress and sur
roundings, to stand at the death
bed Of her husband in an. aims
house in a foreign land; and
faithfully did she nurse him un-
til he expired. Probably for
years she had known nothing of
him Or his career until it was
about to close. The lesson of
this story is that no person is so
high-placed that misfortune can
not reach him; and that no
amount of present wealth is a
sure guarantee against future
want. There are by-paths lead
ing even from the mansions of
greatest opulence to the abodes
where public charity cares for
destitutlon.
All that the Russo Turkish
war has proved so far, says the
New York Herald, is that the
resources of great nation can
not, in an age of advanced civil
lization, be developed by govern
ment OF the primitive type, such
as survives beyond its date in
the Russian Empire. Not a fact
proves that Turkey is worthy to
stand, but many prove that if
Russia is to be equal to her
great destinies, she must burst
the she'll in which she has hith-
erto grown. No nation that as
pires to play part in the great
drama Of European politics in
the nineteenth century can count
in the game until 1t has relieved
itself of the government under
which it came out Of the food
of Tartar invasion five centuries
since. In all the qualities OF
good soldiers, the Russians have
in this war proved themselves
not only superior to the Otto
mans, but equal to any men in
the world. In steady courage,
tenacity, and dash, and in their
susceptibility to tactical instruc-
tion and discipline, they have
shown their high military quail
ity. 1t is in virtue of this quail
ity that, while only equal OF
barely equal in number to their
foe, they have invaded his coun-
try-completely crushed him in
Asia and brought him to the
verge of desperation in Europe,
But for the incubus Of grand
dukes, they might ere this have
been in Constantinople.

WORK AHEAD.

We have entered upon n new year and
what will be accomplished for the inter-

year will depend largely upon the action

have them come here and investigate.

hard woods would be Invaluable. The
facilities for shipping TO all sections can
not be excellcd. All sections OF the

the proper effort is lnade that it can be
secured. The advantages Of the county
