NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION

1t has long been the custom of our people with
the closing of the year to look back upon the bless
ings brought to them in the changing course OF sea-
and TO return solemn thanks to the All Giving
Source from whom they flow, and although at this
period when the falling leaf amonishes us that the
time of sacred duty is at hand nation still
lies in the shadow OF great bereavement ana
mourning which has filled our hearts and still finds
its sorrowful expression towards God before whom
we but lately bowed IN grief and suppcation, yet
the countless benefits which have showered upon
during the past twelve months cali for out Ter,
vent gratitude and make it fitting that we should
rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord in His inf
mite mercy has most signally favored our country
and our people. Peace without and prosperity
within have been vouchsafed to us. No pestilence
has visited our shores. The abundant privileges of
freedom which our fathers left US in their wisdom
are still increasing heritage. and If in parts of
vast domain, some aff1ictfon has visited our
brethren in their forest homes yet this calamity
has been tempered, and in a manner sanctited by
the generous compassion for the sufferers which
has been called forth throughout our land For all
these things meet hat the voice u The Nation
should 90 up to God in devouJ homage.
Wherefore L Ches er A Arthur, President or
the United States, do recommend tuat the
people observe Thursday, the oath day of Novem-
beI insta It. as day of national thanksgiving and
secular abors ana meeting in their several places
of worship there to join in ascribiDg honor and
praise 10 Almighty God whose goodness has been SO
manifest in history and in our lives, and Offer
G earnest praye that his Dountes may continue
to us and to our children.
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 fourth day of
November in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-one and of the indie
pendence of the United States the one hundred

DEER STALKING is at this season the ia
vorite pastime of the English nobility. Every
effort is made to prevent deterioration of the
red deer and to check the gradual destruc-
ton of the forests in which they make their
home. The returns for rental of hunting
and fishing grounds in the Scotch Highlands
amount to no inconsiderable sums. Forests
are leased there for preservation as game
preserves with as great regularity, and with
as close watch over the pounds, shillings
and pence, as characterize farm-letting in
England or Ireland. There are in Scotland
no less than 1,700 "shootings," of which
three-fourths are usually let, and it is said
that the income from them amounts to $2,-
$50, 900 year. One American pays $4,000
for bis leaseholds, and numerous English
lords parallel these figures. Deer forests in
Scotland are not forests at all, strictly speak
ing, but open expanses of moorland, with
numerous lakes, streams AID occasional
pieces of thick woods.

AN italian Professor has just issued vol
ume on suicides from which it appears that
Calabria stands lowest in the scale of those
who are weary of breath. Norway stands
third, and Ireland fourth. England and
America are very high; and the recklessness
and misery which make life insup-
portable reach the maximum in the
centre of Europe from Geneva to Paris, and
through Saxony, Baden, Prussia, and the
Austro- Hungarian provinces. The small
German states are the very highest. Suicide
has increased everywhere for the last forty
years, even in Ireland, where the figure Is
so low, from 10 in. the million to IS in the
million of population, while England and
America have mounted from 90 to 6S, Prus-
sia from IA to 142, France from "a to $50,
and Saxony rushes on with an average of 264.
Childless widowers are by far the largest
number on the sorrowful list.

/ The operation of this system upon wit
nesses is hardship of very serious proper
tiOns; but there are remoter consequences
that are even graver in their character. Poor
men will not and cannot respond to subptenas
| that call them to considerable distances from
their homes. Hence the testimony necessary
to the conviction of offenders is often want
ing, and the administration of justice is par
alyzed. At recent term in this Territory
there were two prisoners under commitment
for homicide, and of the twelve OF fifteen
witnesses who were summoned for the prose-
cution, not a single one was present. As it
was impossible to enforce their attendance
by attachment within the time to which the
term was limited, the prisoners had to be
discharged.
Complaint has been frequently heard of
late that the sale of liquor to Indians is car
ried on to a deplorable extent in certain parts
of the Territory, and the question is asked
why the Federal authorities do not take
some action in the premises. There are sew
eral answers to this question, but one will
suffice for our present purpose If prosecu-
tions were instituted against the offenders
and pushed to conviction, the men who are
brought here to prove the facts would be
greater sufferers than the guilty parties. And
this subject may be summed up in the bald
statement that, so far as this Territory is
concerned, those who appear against persons
charged with violations of the laws OF the
United States usually have reason to wish
that they had only committed the crimes
that they witnessed.
It is time that American craftsmanship
should devote a leisure moment to this evil.
1t does not appear that any prodigy of men-
tai effort is called for to find a remedy. If
the pioneer communities of the West can
afford to pay witnesses and jurors at Il rate
adequate to defray their actual expenses
while assisting in the administration Ofjus-
tice, so, it would seem, can the United States
of America. BY what is known as The
Conformity Act" the practice Of the United
States courts is conformed to that OF the sev
eral States and Territories in which they are
respectively held. 1t would be only slight
and wholly logical extension Of this prin-
ciple to provide that United States witnesses
and Jurors should receive the pay and allow
ances authorized by the laws of the several
States and Territories in which their service
is rendered.
