proclamation, setting apart Thursday,
Nov. 20, 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 pco-
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-
ductive mines, ample crops OF the staples
of trade and manufactures, have enriched
the country. TIE resource thus far fur
nished to our reviving industry and ex-
pandlng commerce, and has ening the
day when discords and distresses through
the length and breadth of the land will

have given way to confidence and energy
aud assured prosperity. Peace with all
nations has remained unbroken, domestic
tranquility has prevailed, and the jnstitu-
ton of liberty and justice, which the wis,
dom and virtue of fathers Iestabls' ed, re-
main the glory and defense of their chill
dren. The general prevalence of the
blessings of health throughout our Sand
has made more conspicuous the sufferiugs
and sorrows where the dark shadows of
pestilence has cast upon a portion Of our
people. This heavy affection even, the
Divine Ruler has tempered to the suffer
ing communities by the universal sympa-
thy and succor which have flowed to their
relief, AMI the whole nation may rejoice
in the unity of spiri- in our people .by
which they cheerfuIly share one another's
burdens.
Now, therefore, ]. Rutherford B. Hayes,

MRS. FIELDS SAD STORY.

iPoughkeepsie Special to New YorkWorld.]
The sadden insanity of Mary E. Fields,
the wife OF s'Tom;'' Fields, of Yammany ring
notoriety, is surrounded with particulars Of
the most mysterious character. She came
to this city about the time of the exposure
of the Tammany ring and lived very quietly
great anxiety in regard to her child, fearing
he would be Kidnapped, and even educated
him to run to his home every time he saw
strange man approach him, and the little
fellow learned to be always on the alert.
She frequently rec ived letters containing
money, but@whether from her husband or
not is not positively known, After awhile
the letters came less frequently and she be-
came pressed for, means. Little by little
value bic ttrinkets were disposed Of, but sud-
denly her income increased again, and it is
reported that money came through her New
York counsel, Mr.. Charles O'Conor. Her
anxiety in regard to her child, however, in-s
creased at the same time. A week ago last
Monday strange and elegantly attired
woman called at the house at which she
lived and. inquired for Mrs. Fields, who WAS
out, yand waited two hours without seeing
her: When Mrs Fields did return. and fhe
woman was described to her, she turned pale
and seemed to labor under great mental
anxiety. On Tuesday last it was first noticed
that she was in bewildered state of mind.
She urged lady friend to accompany her to
New York to see her lawyer. When they
arrived in the metropolis. however, she led
her companion to the residence Of Doctor
McSweeny, who was formally Mrs. Fields
pastor in Poughkeepsie. He was out, aud
she proposed to go home at once, saying,
reply to an inquiry, that she had no business
with her lawyer Friday last, when she
called on Some friends her bewildered cpn1i7
ton had greatly Increased: She was asked
to stay all night and did so. During the
night she became raving maniac, and in
the morning endeavored to 20 out in the
street en- deshGbilke, and smashed q plate

was finally dressed and then. went out. She
stepped into several stores where she was in
the habit of trading, and charged different
persons with attempting to kill her by
poison. Finally she was secured and sent

Insane: Her diamond ear rings, rings and
other jewelry could not be found where she
said they were and it is probable that in her
insane moments she tucked them In out-of-

Mrs. Fields said her sister Mrs. Todd told

Saved by a Play.bill.
II The old saying that everything finds its

- The old saying that everything finds its
use sooner or later ,1s simply borne out by
an episode in Russia's eastern progress
which one may still hear related at times
which infinite giee, by some veteran ofthe
Russian army. While Bokhara was still
an independent principality under the
terrible Nashrullah Kahn, a small party
OF Russian engineer officers fiom the set
tlement OF the Syr-Daria ventured into
the hostile territory, in the hope OF sur
veyirg portion of it before they could be
INTERRUPTED This. hope, however, was
speedily disappointed by the appearance
of an overwhelming force of Bokhall"te
horsemen, who advanced with the evident
intention of attacking them.
The Russian leader, seeing his case des-
peratc, boldly assumed the character Of a
special envoy from the car to the amecr,
and in this character made triumphal
entry into the capital, escorted by the
very men who had been about to take
his lite.s Admitted to an audience he
coolly presented bis own gold wa.ch and
silver hand ed knife to the savage despot
as the cars Gift TO his "royal brother"
and everything was proceeding with tee
utmost srnoothness, when the ameer upset
everything BY suddenly observing that
surely the great czar Of the Ooloos rus
.sians) must have n sent letter of some
kind along with bis gifts.
- AT this malapropos remark the self
styled embassadcr turned pale as death,
and already felt his head sit losely upon
his shoulders:f A young subaltern be-
side him, however, with miraculous
presence of mind, drew from his pocket
booker old play-bill of the Alexander
theater az St. Petersburg, and ccolly
read it from an imaginary letter of con-
sggfatdistieD,a winding up by handing it
with low bow to fhe ameer. The lat
fer, who had ialiead seen the cars name
appended to more than one official docu-
nlant, was quite convinced by the sight
tof the huge ALEXANDER" along the top of
the paper in company with the Russian
doubieseagle;; andi the precious play bill
was reverentlg deposited among the royal
archives Of BohkAra, where il probably
remains to this day.
