from America. The truth Is that while the

opportunity is seized to make point against

"Save Mama."

Capt. Roscoe Burke, OF the steamer
Henry Clay, plying between Cincinnati
and Wabash, relates the following:
Down on the Mississippi, near ST. Louis,
one of his boilers exploded or collapsed
in backing away from wood wharf, and
the steamer was sinking. Many Of the
passengers had leaped overheard, some
with life preservers and some without.
Among the latter, who had been swept
over by the wildly rushing mass Of
humanity, were boy of twelve years and
his mother. A man upon the stern of the
boat, buffeting the troubled waves, at
tempted to throw him rope, and at the
same time crying out to him to catch it
and save himself.
"No! nor cried the little hero, point
ing to woman who struggled resolutely
close by his side, 'save my mama and let
me go! can swim and she cannot.n
Both were saved, and we can readily
believe that boy was hero in all honor
while he remained on board. That his
mother was proud and fond Of him, wor-
Shipping him from the depths Of her heart,
was evident to all.

Thanksgiving Proclamation by the
President.

The President has issued the following
proclamation, setting apart Thursday,
Nov. %, as day of thanksgiving:
By the President of the United States.
A proclamation: The recurrence OF that
season at which 1t is the habit of our peo-
pie to make devout and public confession
OF their constant dependence upon divine
favor for all the good gifts Of lie and
happiness, and of public peace and pros
perity, exhibits in the record of the year
abundant reasons for gratitude and
thanksgiving. Exuberant harvests, pro
ductlve mines, ample crops OF the staples
of trade and manufactures, have enriched
the country. TIE, resources thus far fur
nished to our reyiving industry and ex-
pandlng commerce., and Fastening tho
day when discords and distresses through
the length and breadth Of the land will
under the continued favors of Providence,
have given way to confidence and energy
and assured prosperity. Peace with all
nations has remained unbroken, domestic
tranquility has prevailed, and the institu-
ton of liberty and justice, which the wis
dom and virtue of fathers established, re-
main the glory and defense of their chill
dren. The general prevalence of the
blessings of health throughout our. land
has made more conspicuous the suferings
and sorrows where the dark shadows of
peStilence has cast upon portion of our
people. This heavy at1liction even, the
Divine Ruler has tempered to the suffer-
ing communities by the universal sympa-
thy and succor which have flowed to their
relief, and the whole nation may rejoice
in the unity of spirit in our people by
which they cheerfuIly share one another's
burdens.
Now, therefore, 7. Rutherford B. Hayes,
President of the United States, do ap-
point Thursday, the 2Sth day of Novem-
Der next, as day of national thankseiv-
ing and prayer, and l earnestly recon-
mend that, Withdrawing themselves from
secular cases and labors, the people Of
the United States do meet together on
that day in their re spe ctive places of wor-
ship, there TO give thanks and praise to
Almighty God fer his mercies, and to de-
voutly beseech their continuance. In wit
ness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
30th day of October. in the year of our
Lord 1878, and the independence of the
United States the one hundred and third.
