THANKSGIVING.

The annual thanksgiving occurs next
Thursday, the day having been set apart
as such by the president and also by
the governor. No day in all the year
is fraught with SO much joy and pleas
ure as this day. While it is in one
sense holiday, it has better signif-
canoe in its usages. By custom, families
separated for the year, perhaps longer,
are brought together and that higher,
holler pleasure, experienced when par
ents, children, brothers, sisters and 9TH
er friends meet together, is felt and
enjoyed. The children may make it a
holiday, by plays, and repasts, but those
older enjoy the day in social intercourse
and friendly communion. We all re-
member how in childhood we each year
went to grandfather's on this day and
ate such dinners as we shall never again
taste, and enjoyed day as we shall
never enjoy another. We remember the
long anticipation and the pleasing re-
membranes connected with this New
England anniversary, and the recollec-
ton is one of the sweetest of the past
Grown older now, with children, perhaps
grandchildren, it is still our lot to meet
somewhere, either at our own homes or
around another hearth, to spend pleas
antly this day. While 1t is valuable to
US now, the greatest pleasure is in max
ing it agreeable to children, to aged
parents, to the poor and to those to
whose enjoyment we love to minister.
In the ever increasing whirl of busy
life, we are becoming more and more
absorbed and overwhelmed in business,
and it behooves US, both for health and
pleasure. to set apart some days in the
year for rest and enjoyment. This day
as it is commonly kept makes one sunny
oasis In the desert waste of busy life.
In higher sense, thanksgiving day
should be made what it was originally
designed to be, viz: A day of thanks
giving to God for the numberless bles
sings of the year. Our thoughts should
be turned toward the Oliver, and th,
spirit of gratitude should fill the sou
as We mediate on the abundant mer
cies, physical and spiritual. which ar
so kindly bestowed upon US. That th
Lord both desires and accepts tribute
of praise from his creatures, Is show
by his arrangements for feast an
thanksgiving season for the Israelite
in the days of Moses. Certainly n
age has been more abundantly file
with blessings than this, and no peopl
have greater reasons for praising Go
that the people of free, happy and proi
porous New England. The day wi
have its religious services in alnol
every village and hamlet, and it b.
comes all the people to assemble an
publicly give suitable thanks. Let |
not forget the hOlier purposes of II
day, but keep it as becomes religion
and grateful people. The poor whic
may be found in most places should n
be forgotten. The thanksgiving supp
will be better relished, if it is felt tn
those whose means are not sufficient
furnish decent repast, are sharing wi
US thanksgiving meal.

The total of the bonds continued at
3 IL per cent. is $679,56O,050, and
the total cost to the Government about
$4,000, of which nearly $4,000 was
for paper aud printing the bonds, and
for all other expenses, including the
cost of making the exchanges of about
$45, 100000 of the bonds in London,
$4,499,08. This makes the expense of
continuing each $I,OOO,OOO of the
bonds about $l7.82. The bill passed
by Congress appropriated one-quarter of
per cent, for expenses of refundiDg.
which would have amounted to 81, 49,
900. AS the measure proposed by Con-
gress would have disposed of sundry
taxes, the present plan shows an advan-

portion as a State into the Union.

square miles of territory, being larger
than Pennsylvania and about the size
of New York. The population is now
about 100000, having grown from r.
600 since 1870. The section is very
fertile and is being rapidly taken up by

A large majority of those voting the
readjuster ticket last Tuesday are out
and-out Republicans, and never pro-
fessed to be anything else. The Re-
publicans, white and black, as a gener-
al rule, voted the Malone ticket. They
therefore have the power to compel
their leaders to acknowledge allegiance
to the Republican party; and hence we
trust that this masquerading under the
guise of readj ust ment is now at an
end. There can be but two permanent
parties in any country. Every mar
must in 1884, if not sooner, join one Of
the other of the two great parties o.

HERESY,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. September 10
For several years past Mrs. Sarah Cooper
has been teaching Bible class in Calvary
Presbyterian Church, which she has built
up from half dozen to between 800 and
400 members. Recently, Mr.. James Rob
erts, Superintendent of Calvary Sunday
School, complained to a session of the
church that Mrs. Copper's teachings were
unsound. The session declined to take
any action-practically indorsing Mrs,
Cooper. Roberts then brought the mat
ter before the presbytery, DR.. Hemphill,
pastor of Calvary Church and number of
elders defended Mrs. Cooper and the action
of the session in upholding her, but the
presbytery, in secret session, last night,
sustained the complaint. The case has
been of lively nature during its progress,
developing much power of vituperation
and denunciation on both sides.
