Thanksgiving DaYs

At no period in their history since the United States became nation has this people had so abundant and so universal reasons for joy and gratitude at the favor of Almighty God, or been subject to so profound an obliga- tion to give thanks for His loving kindness and humbly to implore His continued care and protection of health, wealth and prosperity throughout all our borders, peace, honor and friendship with all the world, firm and faithful adherence by the great body of our population to the principles ofGberty and justice, which have made our greatness as Q nation, and to the wise institutions and strong frame of gov ernment and society which will perpetuate it. For all these let the thanks ofa happy and united people; as with one voice, ascend in de- vout homage to the Giver of all good. I,there- fore. recommend that on Thursday, the 24th day of November next, the people meet in their respective places of worship to make their acknowledgements to AlmightyGod for his bounties and his protection, and to offer to him prayers for their continuance.
 In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington this first day of November in the year of our Lord 1880 and of the independence of the United States the 1O5th.

FACT AND RUMOR.

A remarkable statement has recently ap- peared ofthe results obtained by M. Mouchot, a French engineer resident at Algiers By using the suns rays as source of mechanic al power, M Mouchot it appears, has pumped up water and made it boil by solar force alone, as well as sublimed sulphur distilled sulphur acid, and performed many similar feats. If this is the fact, it is a step toward realizing the prediction of the well known engineer, Ericsscn. who has always maintained that the manufacturing future of the world belongs not to the nations endowed with most coal, but to the hottest countries. "The time will come," said Ericssen, "when the Nile and the Ganges will be lined with cotton and other factories driven by solar heat; and tue raw material being at hand labor plential, and the the motive power inexpensive, these regions will defy all foregln competition"
