MORE WYALUSING BUSINESS HOUSES
The Elmira AdrertiSer correspondent con.
tinues his reports from our thriving ncighbor-

we find the following:

proprietor of this excellent and wel-kept
house, for the happy and jolly Morg." and
his good wife are known far and near. Few
men ever opened their doors TO the public
who were able by nature to make such
landlord us j. NJ. Brown. Ful-Souled, OPEN
hearted and generous almost to a fault. he is
one of that kind that make success OF any
thing they undertake. The hotel that bears
his name is no exception. Filth and dmuss are
to them unknown. Scrupulous neatHess
reigns supreme. The house is roomy, well
appointed, we'll furnished and well kept No
one wonders that business men hurry through
their work in other towns that they may
come and lodge" at Browns. And then
should IA man be weary from hard toll through
the day, one of those stories that this Jolly
landlord is noted for telling would be inter-
spersed, convulsing all with merriment.
There is asatisfactIon in doing what is under
taken well, and if friend Brown is as well
pleased with himself as yalusng is with her
landlord, he is happy man.

We received quite a severe shock the other
men. Rev. j. BARTON FRENCH than whom
is no bigger nor better man IN town, is the
popular Commander of the G.. a. r., and after
paying our little bill for printing for the Post
deliberately turned and thanked us for the
notices given. 1t has been so long since an
event of that kind has happened that we were
taken quite aback. 1t is some ten years CT
more ago since rather verdant gentleman so
far broke over the usual rules that govern the
treatment of propretOrs of newspapers by
the outside public as to thank us for faVOrs
given. He has probably learned better now
and we cannot remember that the offence has
ever been repeated. Politicians, farmers, mer-
chants, business men, teachers and churches
military, civil and religious organizations all
come to a newspaper and get free notices of
various kinds, but hever think Of making the
slightest acknow ledgement. One church in
this town has had over five hundred free no
tices given itby the Gazette, but a few months
ago by mistake notice was enormously Civ
en-, when we were soundiy berated for care
lessness, but no hint given that we had ever
deserved better. The idea that newspaper
deserves any consideration from those who
have axes to grind is certainly new one to
the public.-1rO Gazette.

Proclamation for Thanksgiving Day.

By the President of the United States of America
"A proclamation 1t has long been the pious
tom of our people, with the closing of the year, to
look back upon the blessings brought to them in
the changing course of the seasons and to return
solemn thanks to the All Giving Source from
whom they flow. And although at this period
when the falling leaf admonshes that the time of
our sacred duty is at hand, nation still lies in
the shadow of great bereavement, and the mourn
ing which has filled our hearts, still finds it's sor
rowful expression toward the God before whom
we but lately bowed in grief and suppcation.
Yet the countless benefits which have showered
upon us during the past twelve months call for our
feryent gratitude, and make it fitting that we
should rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord in
His infinite mercy has most signally favored our
country and our people. Peace without and pros
perity within have been vouchsafed to us. No
pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant
privileges of freedom, which fathers left us in
their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage.
And it, in parts of our vast domain, affiicton
has visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet
even this calamity has been tempered and in a man
ner sanctified by the generous compassion for the
suffers which has been called forth throughout
land For all these things it is meet that the voice
OF the natlOn snOulu SO up W oou III ueNout IOH
age. Wherefore L, Chester A Arthur, President
of the United States, do recommed that all the peo
pie observe Thursday, the Oath day of November
inst as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer

bors and meeting in their several places of worship
there to Join in ascrbng honor and praise to AL.
mighty God, whose goodness has been so manifold
in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest
prayers that His bounties may continue to us and

The city Of Lucknow, India, is re-
nowncl for the poitencss of its people,
evcre,lug, it would seem, that of the
French, who are GENERALLY regarded a.
the poIitcst people i'll the world. A cor
respondent, writing from the spot, gives
a Indicrous illustration of the extent to
which the natives carry their ideas of
courtesy. Two native gentlemen, on
their way to the railway station, acci-
dcntally fell into a dutch. One would
suppo,e that both would have been on
their feet in a twinkling; but no, the
law Of politeness interfered, and one
i'll TO the other: "When your Honor
rises then I may get up." "No, your
Honor should get up first, replied the
other. "Never; how could | take
precedence Of your Honor?' anf thus

said. because neither gentleman would
consent 10 violate the laws OF good

WHERE THE SfLTER GOES TO.

For halt q century India has been ab-
sorbing silver as a sponge does water.
When that country WAS in prosperous
condition the absorption amounted TO
some forty millions a Year for conSld-
cradle time. Since the end of our late
war tie production of American cotton
has been equal to the wants Of English
spinners. The price of Indian cotton
sl,rah is the commercial name for it
has fallen so low as to make the cultiva-
ton Improbable, and India has met
with losses till the country is now on
the verge Of bankruptcy. This condition
cf the greatest silver-consuming nation
il the world has checked To Il large de-
gree tie demands If more prosperous
times. Stlll, hand as the condition Of
India is, there is Il large importation Of
silver every year; and very little ever
comes back again to Western nations.
Once in India it is lost sight of-tlisap-
pears at least from commerce. In 1879
81 the net imports of silver into India
were $50 10000. Strange to say, .he
coinage of silver bv the Indian mint for
the same time WIS 81 ,2jr, 900; ami this
excess Of coinage over import, extends
over several wears. The reason given
for tins is that ornGmouts Hre parted
with constantly 20 supply pressing
wants. Every respectable HindoO's
wife and daughters are equipped with a
quantity of silver iewclFv and on aments
according To their mans. In a popuia-
ton oi 100, U0U, 600, with an excess of
females, tuis requires y vast stock of 7il-
yer 10 decorate dUsky bcaoty. Hard
times force these iiinGDo womcn To sell
their silver jcwelry for the tilne being,
and it is coined up INTO RUPEES. With II
return of better lines all tins lcweiry

than the pyramids. a small cuitivator
in India will borrow m"n"y Mt 20 per
cent. sooner than his wife or lsughter
shall have one less silver iangle. The
/ present standard OF ENGLAND Is gold A;
that Of India silver. The puJiic debt
of India is large, and England Is liable
for considerable portion oi IT. The
Indian interest IL PAID III silver rupees
at discount This difference III value
of the two metals is a constant loss to
both nations, and is a powerful lever
toward bringing England back to the
double standard, or hi-metallism. II
England should conclude that her inter
ests lie i'll the direction of a dOuble
standard again. it VIII increase the mar

Whether that change alone will benefit
distressed India much IS doubtful. But,

naments of her women, India still calls

PUTTING ON STEI.N.
A Railroad Engineers Story.

lam railroad engineer. Away along
in 1857, during the recent panic, was
running on the +. and G. railroad. The
railroad companies were going under in
all directions. Every day We heard Of
now failures, and quite often in quar-
ter where We least expected it. Our road
was generally looked upon rs one Of the
most substantial in the nation; nobody
seemed to have any fears that it woull
fail to survive the general smash-up;
but yet did not fully share in the gen
eral confidence. Wages were cut down,
arrearages collected, aud great mary
other little matters seemed TO indicate to
me that the road had got isto deeper
water than was agreeable all around.
Among other things, the master ne-
chanic had told me i'll tho spring that
the company had ordered four first-qual-
ity Taunton engines for the fall passen-
ger business. The road WAS put in the
very best condition, and other prepara-
tions were made to cut down the time
and put the trains through quicker than
was over known before when the new
engines should come. Well, there WIS
but one of the engines came.
l said that there. was but one engine
came ;.but she was, in my opinion, alto
cetler the best ever turned ont of the
Taunton works, and that is saying as
much rs can be said of any engine. She
was put in my charge Immediately, with
the understanding that she WAS mine.
II was Saturday when she came out of
the shop, and WAS to take special
train up to Y. The train was to
carry up the President and several otli-
GERS of the road to meet some officers of
another, road, which crosses ours there,
and arrange some important business
with them. l had no trouble at all i'll
making my forty miles an hour going
out The engine handled herself most
beautifully. We were Just holding up
at Y when Aldrich, the Treasurer,
who had come out Oh the platform to
nut the brake on, slipped and fell. rs

WAS much injured and carried off to tho
hotel insensible. According to the
Presidents direction, I switched off my
train. turned my engine and stood read J
to start back to c. at a moments no.

Aldrich's presence was OF so much i'm
rortance that the business could not b'
transacted without him, so all those
