Thanksgiving Proclamation.
The President has issued the following

tat 800
proclamation
It has long been the pious custom 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 ad-
monishes us that the time of our sacred
duty is at hand, our Nation still lies in he
shadow Of a great bereavement and mourn
ing, which has filed our hearts and finds us
sorrowful in expression toward the God be-
.fore whom we but lately bowed in grief
and supplication; yet the countless bless
ings which have been showered upon us
! during the past IL months call for our fer
| vent gratitude, and make it fitting that we
| should rejoice with thankfulness that the
Lord in His infinite mercy has most sig
nally favored our country and people.
Peace without and prosperity within have
been vouchsafed to US no pestilence has
visited our shores the abundant privi-
leges of freedom which our fathers left
us in their wisdom are still our increasing
heritage, and, if in some parts of our vast
domain some affliction has visited our
brethren in their forest homes, yet even
this calamity has been tempered in a man.
ner sanctifed by generous compassion for
the sufferers which has been called forth
throughout our land. For all these things
it is meet that the voice of the nation
should go up to God in devout homage.
Wherefore I, Chester A. Arthur, Presi.
dent Of the United States, do recommend
that all the people observe Thursday, the
oath day Of November, as a day Of thanks
giving and prayer, by ceasing, SO far as
may be, from their secular labors, meeting
in their several places Of worship, there to
God, whose goodness has been so manifest
In our history and in our lives, and offer
ing earnest prayers that his bounties may
continue TO US and our children.
In witness whereof ! have hereunto set
my hand and seal on this, the 7th day OF
November, 1881.

BILL NYE,s BUDGET.
A Humorous sketch Of journalism
ON the Frontier.

Those who are not accustomed TO the
playful and frolicsome style of conducting
a newspaper on the frontier are apt to
think that the natural result Of such little
expressions of high regard as are made by
rival journals in relation to each other
must be a front-yard full of new made
graves, and a large and enthusiastic fu-
neral. 1t is often q wonder to many to see
for the first time the choice ~ephithets and
fragrant, familiar expressions made use OF
by opposing newspapers, that there 10 not
| a more frightful mortality among editors
| in the West. 1t is true that journalists
| west of the Missouri River do sometimes
| die violent deaths, but very rarely from
| each others hands. They do not weller
in each others gore oftener than once a
week, as a general rule. Death to the
| Western editor is more frequently caused
by old age or hunger b anything else.
| They are also sometimes hung by an en-
ragged populace. But out OF all our news
paper acquaintance, SO far, we cannot call
to mind one who has been killed by a TEL
low journalist. Most every newspaper
man who is at times termed by his rivals
an escaped horse thief, knows that it is not
true, or at least hopes to outlive any such
charge as that, and cheerfully calls his rival
a grave-robber, and thus turns popular at
tentiop away from himself, while at the
same time he adds to the interest of his
paper, and subscribers to his list. Some
think that Western journals are too spicy
in this way, and there is too much yigor
about this style of conducting a newspa-
per; but we hardly think so. So long as
there are no lives lost, and the editorial
fraternity live to a good old age, we do not
see that there need be any kicking about
it. Those who now enter our Office with a
wild look of apprehension, need not be
alarmed. We have not killed any one
who adhered to the etiquette OF the office
for several weeks. Since the cold weather
came on we have been struggling to over
com this iendish thirst for human life,
and those who come in here now with q
view toward the promotion of friendly re-
lations will be as safe as they would be at
their own firesides. The death rate in our
Office for the past six months is low. We
may run a man through the power-press
by mistake once in a while, or kick a bore
under the stove and cook him, but we have
resolved that human life will not hereafter
be sacrificed unless it is absolutely una
voidable.

THAT CONFEDERATE BANK DE.
POSIT.

The story that the United States Gov.
eminent is about to open correspondence
with the British Foreign Office in regard
to the disposition of a large sum of
money said to have been deposited by
the Confederacy in the Bank of England,
is one which prudent people will dis.
count heavily before accepting. This
rumor is probably being circulated in or
der to stimulate that extraordinary spec
ulation in Confederate bonds which has
Of late provoked so much astonished
comment. OF course, even if any such
funds were in existence, Confederate
bondholders would not thereby be bene-
flied, as the money would belong to the
United States; but people who are will.
ing to speculate in ex-rebel bonds would
never think Of that.

p. T. Butler. an old resident Of this
county, died o little after 10 o'clock on
Sunday morning last, and was buried by
the Masonic Order on Monday afternoon.
He had been suffering with 'dropsy for 0
long time, and he was found dead sitting
in a chair In his room, with his hands
| clasped across his abdomen, on the morn
ing stated. Mr.. Butler was an old pioneer
Of this coast, having been to all the gold
excitements in California during early
times, and has passed through the vicissi-
tudes that most OF the pioneers Of the
Pacific Coast have done-has seen the
times when he could'count his wealth by
the Thousands, but finally died penniless.
Mr.. Butler was a soldier In the "California
Column" that was commanded by Gen. p.
E. Conner. Mr.. Butler has two brothers
living at Monmouth, ILL.,, and ia q native
OF Wayne County, that State. and was 80
years Of age at the time Of his death.
Harry Henderson left on q prospecting
trip on Wednesday down to the line be-
tween Lincoln and San Bernardino Coun.
ties. A. j. Blair accompanied him. They
will be absent about IL days.
Jack Gilmer has not gone to Minnesota,
as was stated by the Eureka SENTINEL.
Jack will attend Court at Carson. He ia
exceedingly anxious to get o handful Of
the Mayhower bonanza.
We are informed that Mr.. Gould, Of the
Day Company, will positively retire from
the SUPPLEMENTARY unless he is allowed
leave Of absence to mend his shattered
health.
Mr.. W. 4. Griffin left Eureka on Thurs
day for Phoebe. He will attend to his

The voters Of Californis number about
100000. II taxation was equally divided,
each voter would pay about $50. "In

about AZ, 900 voters, and we collect about
s 1000, 900. The American citizen here Ia
an important person. Partner in all this
property. obligated for all these debts,
and paying yearly all these taxes: To the
Nation, $44; to the State, $50; to the city,
500. In all, STA yearly" There is no
other country in the world able to pay such
enormous taxes. If Americans did not
vote the load upon themselves, they would
fight before submitting to it. Similar
statistics with regard to the burden of in
dividual taxation in Nevada would be in
teresting. As q rule, taxes In California
are much less than with us.

BALTIMORE, Nov. s.--There is less in

Latest Election News.
New YORK, Nov. s.-The returns at this
hour indicate a Democratic victory. Re-
turns, however, are meager. Both parties
claim the State. The Legislative ticket is
badly mixed. 1t is rumored that the Stall
warts tried to beat the Halfbreeds and the
Halfbreeds the Stalwarts in many districts.
The Democrats have certainly made large
gains in members of the Legislature. The
best opinion is that the Democrats have
achieved a substantial victory. The re-
turns are coming in slowly, and nothing

possibly not before morning.
RICHMOND, Nov. S.-The Readjusters

| Committee holds that they have sufficient
returns to guarantee tho election of Col
Mcdaniel to the ~Governorship by a ma
jority of from 5000 to $4,000.

Our returns from yesterdays elections
are meager. But two of the States vot-
ing are important-New York and Vir-
ginia. A Democratic triumph is virtu-
ally conceded in the former, while both
parties claim the latter, though the
Democratic Central Committee assert
that they have elected their Governor
in Virginia by a majority ranging
from 5000 to $4,000. All, however, is
the merest speculation. The complete re-
suit cannot be known before to-day.
About the only thing that can be said is,
that the general outlook is favorable to
the Democracy.

In 1879 the Legislature passed an Act to
encourage the sinking Of a~rtesian wells,
which provides that every person, firm,
company. corporation or association "
which shall sink an ~artesian well shall be
entitled, after the first 500 feet shall have
been sunk, to two dollars for each addi-
tional foot. This subsidy from the State

the reason that water is nearly always
found before going down to the depth Of
500 feet, and, because, at that depth, two
dollars per foot for sinking is a mere trifie.
And further, If q we'll can be sunk 500
feet as a private enterprise. the pittance Of
