THE other other afternoon in London
quaint custom was observed at the Office
of the Queens Remembrancer at the Royal
Courts of Justice, where the formal services
due to the Crown on behalf of the Corpora
ton of London in respect of certain of their
property were duly rendered. Proclama-
tion having been made as follows: "Tenant
and occupiers of piece of waste ground
called the Moors, in the County of Salop,
come forth and do your SERVICE" the City
Solicitor presented himself and cut one fag-
1T with hatchet, and another with bill
hook. Proclamation vas then made: ''Ten-
ants and occupiers of certain tenement
called the Forge, in the Parish of st. Glenn
ent Danes, in the County of Middlesex,
come forth and do your service" The City
Solicitor, in answer to that, counted six
horseshoes and sixty one nails, the Queens
Remembrancer saying "Good number"
With that the proceedings ended.

THANKSGIVING.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA
A APROCLAMAT1oN.

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-
sons and to return solemn thanks to the All Giving
Source from whom they flow, and although at tins
period when the falling leaf admonishes us that the
time of sacred duty is at hand, our nation sui
lies in the shadow of a great bereavement ana
mourning which has filed our hearts and still hnds
its sorrowful expression towards God before whom
we but lately bowed IN grief and supplication yet
the countless benefits which have showered upon
during the past twelve months call for out Ter
vent gratitu and make it fitting that we should
rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord in His in-
mite mercy has most signally favored our country,
and our people Peace without and prosperity
within have been vouchsafed to us. No pestience
has visited shores. The abundant privileges OF
freedom which our fathers left us in their wisdom
are still increasing heritage and If In parts of
our vast domain, some affiction has visited our
brethren in their forest homey even this calamity
has been tempered, and IN a manner sanctlneu Dy
the generous compassion for the sufferers " hich
has been called forth throughout our land. For all
these things is meet that the voice of Ihe Nation
should 60 up to God in deyout homage.
Wherefore Chester A Arthur, President of
the United States, do recommend that the
people observe Thursday, the 24th day of Noyem-
be- insta t. as day of national thanksgiving and
prayer by ceasing so far as may be from their
secular abors and meeting in their several places
of worship there to join in ascribiDg honor and
praise to Almighty God whose goodness has been so
manifest in history and in our lives, and offer
earnest praye thai His Dountes may commune
to us and to our children.
Ia witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused he seal of the United States to be
affixed
Done at the city of Washington this fourth day of
November in the year of our Lcrd one thousand
eight hundred and eghty-one and of the indie
pendence of the United States the one hundred
and sixth.

''THE land act" writes Mr.. Jennings in
his dispatch to The New York World, sis
the most revolutionary measure ever passed
in the British Parliament, and it is being
administered on the principle that the
claims of the occupier are superior to the
remnant of the rights of the owner. Many
Irish landlords are preparing to sell out and
leave the country. and estates which ten
years ago money could not have bought are
now being sacrificed for ten years. purchase
Of the rent-that is, at half the usual fig
ure." The Springfield Republican says that
'even tenants already evicted are given
standing in court by Justice O'Hagan, and
the Dublin solicitors say he is harder on
the landlords than Parnel was. The crier
who opened the court of the Land League"
as it was supposed by slip of the tongue,
proves to have been inspired to true prophe-
cy, for the Dublin expression is tina. "a

Contemporary English Poetry.

The Athsnaum prefaces an elaborate re-
view of Mr.. Rossetti's last volume Of Ballads
and Sonnets" by the following remarks:
The appearance of this volume so soon after
Mr. Tennyson's "Ball ads and other Poems" is
suggestive of certain inevitable reflections. The
most striking characteristic of our time is per-
haps the way in which poetry, both in England
and in France, holds her own, and lin spite Of
all discouragements) flouishes by the SIDE of sci
ence, that popular and petted sister OF hers
whose undue share OF public patronage in Eng
land has disturbed the peace OF Mr.. Matthew
Arnold. While contemporary France boasts
of poet of the colossal pretensionS OF victor
Hugo, such names in our own country as Ten
nyson Browning, Rossetti, Swinburne, Morris,
can only be matched by going back 70 those
times which Mr.. Arnold fondly recalled in his
speech at the Academy dinner this year-times
before science had become passion, and when
there was as much patronage for poetry as there
now is for painting and music. To ignore the
vitality of contemporary poetry-as il is the
fashion to igOre it's the merest aifectation; to
deny it is contemplate feature of that "cant
of criticism" against which Sterne rallied, but
rallied i'll vain. We will go further in this
matter, and assert that besides the great names
just mentioned there are something like hall
dozen luminaries of lesser magnifu fude, any one
of whom would put into he shade the South
eys Moores aud Rogerses, who (wiih c)nsders-
bic co ,rage and self satisfactory twtnkled
alongside C0eridge and Words WORTH in q trn-
ament where also shoHe Keats, Shelley aud
Byron. And, if we must indeed believe with
Mr.. Arnold (who, being a post, ought 70 know
that poetry Is now the drug" whfch the book
sellers declare 1t to be, we cannot but admire
