Thankful for health, for bountiful crops,
for preservation from foreign foes and the
lndians, and all blessings for which man
should be thankful, the sense Of proprie-
ty in the founders of New England took
public form of a recognition, and after
the harvest (corn) was gathered day for
public Thanksgiving was set apart by the
Governors of the various States. It was
regarded as sacred as the Sabbath and as
free from secular employment. The last
Thursday in November Was the usual day
in New England. The Inhabitants of the
Middle States did NOT like to follow the
Puritans too close and they set apart the
first Thursday in December. The day
was brought west by the emigrants from
tho more eastern states. The custom was
first made national by President Lincoln
to give thanks for Union Victories. Gus
tom in New England has made it the oc-
casion of some pleasant associations. A
beautiful one il the reunion Of families.

discharge of Whites mother as cook.
To the easy going colored nan that
would not be- considered much of ca
lamity. "The other side" pres. mt,
new feature.
Ii is asserted that Clay kept a mis-
tress-a young woman Of twenty-and
Perry White, Who wss in love with
her, WAS anxious TO get her away from
Clay. Here WAS an sll-pewerfui mo-
tive to stir Clay. such as led to the
siege of Troy. Clay resented the in
terIerence of White, and sent word to
Whites father that if his son ever came
upon his place again, he wOul shoot
him. This wor: did not reach the son.
He kept horse in Clay'S pasture, and
on thai fatal Sabbath morning, Clay
expecting him to come for his horse,
armed himself, rs the "adOpted SON"
says. with two pistols and a double
barreled shotgun. and went out to the
barn and watched awhile for him. On
going a second time he saw Perry by
his horse and told him to hold uD his
hands or he would shoot him. Perry
started toward Clay, as is supposed, to
beg for his life, and Clay shot him
twice. Such is The story of the other
side' Is it not more credible than that
given by Clay?

Lexington, KY, Correspondence Of Toledo
Blade:
Persons knowing the sad descent of
Cassius NJ. Clay during late years, feel
certain that there are two sides to the
story of his murder of Perry White.
Mr.. Clay's version has been given with
the minutest detail. ard widely copied
by the press.
The other side of tile story, told by
the colored people, Is furnished me by
a gentleman in whom can place the
most implicit confidence. Thus far
there has been nothing offered to cor
roboraie Mr.. CIay's word, and his late
career bars the plea of an illustriOus
name as sufficient guarantee that he
is bOve suspicion.
He is q man of violent, uncontrolled
passions. The scandal attending bis
residence at the Russia Court cOmpell-
ed his recall, and he was room after fol-
lowed home by q Russian woman,
bringing with her son whom Clay
acknowledged to be his own. The re-.
splt was that Mrs. Clay left her hus-
band, and sonp after the poor, broken.
hearted Russian woman died. This
son appears on the stage as IAN adopt.
ed son." Clay assigns rs the reason for
the murder that Perry White had
threatened his life. Whites neighbors
say they do not believe he had threat
ened it, and Clay does not assign suf
ficint motive for sach threat, Wig: the
