The PresideHt has issued his proola-
nation fixing Thursday, 25th instant, as
National Thanksgiving Day. He
says that "healtb, wealth and prosperi-
ty through all our borders" are a few Of
the things for which VIC ought 70 be
grateful; but this is mauifestly incorrect .
A great deal Of disease, an immense
amount of poverty, and an incalculahle
amount of adversely, detract by so much
from the sum total Of national happi-
ness claimed by the President. Accord
ing to the average theological belief,
health, wealth and prosperity proceed
from the giver Of all good; and these
are the terms in which Mr.. Hayes puts
the proposition. But disease, poverty
and adversely come from the same
source according to the old fashioned
orthodoxy, whose traditions widely rule
the present day., and equal gratitude is
demanded for them. II is easy for the
healthy, the wealthy and the prosper.
Gus to cultivate feeling which they
think is gratitude; but what we should
like to see is the gratitude Of the poor,
the sick, the dead failures in life, those
who are the castaways Of fate.

CAPTAIN EADS SHIP RAIL WAY

The Scientific AmcricaR Of this week
contains two full page illustrations Of
Captain Eads' proposed railway for
transporting ships with their cargo
across continents.
Captain Eads claims by his plan to be
able to take loaded ships Of the largest
tonnage from enc ocean to the other
across the Isthmus Of Panama, as readi-
ly as can be done by a canal after the
Lessup plan, and at a much less cost for
engineering construction.
The project is certainly bold ani in
geDious, and the protector anticipates
no serious difficulties in carrying for
ward his enterprise The engravings
referred to in the Scientific american
show the proposed construction Of not
only the railroad, but the appliances for
transferring tho ships from the water
to the rail.
In addition 70 the large number Of en-
cravings, illustrative of engineering
works, inventions and new discoveries
which appear weekly, the Sc0Rtgic
AmeyIoais, has, during tho past year, de-
voted considerable space to illustrating
and describing leading establishments
devoted to different manufacturing ia
dustries.
This feature has added very much 70
the attractiveness aud usefulness Of the
paper. More than fifty Of the most inn
portant Industrial establishments Of our
country have been illustrated, and the
processes of the different manufactures
described in its columns. The Scientific
American has been published for more
Than thirty -Four years by Mum y Co
"a Park Row, n. y, and has attained
larger weekly circulation than all SINH
lar papers published in the country.

The resnlt of the mass meeting on
last Saturday shows how necessary
it is fer all the citizens to take part
in such public gatherings. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to control
a half attended meeting, and had a
dozen more men from the bill wards
been present the faction ia yard one
could not have controlled. We trust
this will serve as a lesson to the dila-
tory ones in the future. We have no
opposition to Mr.. Blanchard, but OBJ
ject to family faction riding rough
shod over an entire parish. 1t was
plainly to be seen. from the express
sions of those from . distance. that
the sentiment of the large majority
of the Democratic voters OF Grant
parish was in favor Of delegates fl.
voring Mr.. Jefries, yet he got but
one, and that one because OF shame
at not being able to find . Blanchard
man outside of ward one. Both Of
the candidates are good and true
men. and we can support either with
satisfaction, but that does not hinder
our censure of the high-handed and
outrageous packing that secured thu
defeat of large majority. That thu
result should be accepted with grac'
and good humor only goes to SHOW
what staunch Democrats we haze il
Grant parish. who always stick to
gether let come what will. and mus
be matter of wonder to our siste
parishes, where such an occurrence
would shiver the party strength int
atoms. But we are proud OF on
distinction, and propose to MAINTAIN
it through thick and thin. II wa

Ijority are going to abide by it. an
