The other day six men sat around
stove in Detroit tobacco store. There
had been a long period Of silence when
one of them rubbed his leg and re-
marked:
''That old wound feels as if it were
going to open again. shall always

There was slight stir around the
stove, and q second man put his hand
to his shoulder and observed:
"And l shall not sson forget Bran

was going to work out"
The interest was now considerably
increased, and the third man knocked
the ashes off his cigar and said:

but you ought to have been with Mel
son at Franklin. Lor,' but wasn't I
excited that day! When these two
fingers went with grape-shot / never

The fourth man growled out some
thing about Second Bull Run and
sabre cut on the head, aud the fifth
man felt of his left side and said he
should always remember the lay Of the
ground at the Yellow Tavern. The
sixth man was silent. The other five
looked at him aud waited for him to
speak, but it was q long time before

that there is no basis for freedom except In the

to overthrow the family institution. beseech
you, therefore, to guard the very portals of re-
publican liberty, so that in all coming time this

with all its blessings to manhood, to our nation,
to our race, to our old ship, may be handed
down unimpaired.

Few persons after so can sleep longer than
seven hours, unless they are hard outdoor
workers; healthy children under 10 ought TO
have ten hours for sleep; schoolgirls from ~
to Is ought to sleep at least nine hours. But
from various causes there is a great difference
in the amount of sleep required by different
persons, hence each should observe for him
self how much sleep he requires and arrange
to give nature that mucn every night; if un.
usual eXcrtions are made any day, sleep longer
the night following If kept up several hours
later than usual, on chance occasions, arrange
not to be disturbed in any way next morning
and, when nature wakes up get up and do not
sleep any during the day, but go TO bed at the
regular hour and the increased soundness OF
sleep for that night will make up for the loss
If you cannot 90 to sleep when you first 20
to bed, give orders to be walked up at daylight
get up promptly, do not sleep wink during
the day, go to bed at your regular time, with
directions to be walked up as before; in a week
you will find that you can go to sleep prompt
ly, but then be careful to get up as soon as VOC
wake in the mornings, thus you will soon find
out how much sleep your system requires, and
act accordingly; always avoiding sleeping III
the daytime; for, if you require seven hours
sleep at night, whatever time you spend IN
s.Iep during the day must be deducted from
seven hours, or you will soon become waketul
again. If you wake up in the night either
go to bed two or three hours later, or when
you wake, get up, even if it be but | o'clock
in the morning, and do not sleep a moment
until your regular hour OF going TO bed; and,
if you GO TO bed regularly, get up as soon a
YOU wake, and do not sleep in the daytime,

much sleep you require, then act accordingly.

PROCLAMATION FOR THANKSGIVING.
STATE OF MINNESOTA, I
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. !

In accordance with the Recommendation of
the President of the United States, designate
Thursday, the oath day of November, inst, to
be observed as day of Thanksgiving and
praise, for the bounties of the season and the
protecting proYdences of Almighty God.
The year has been crowded with eventful
experiences. It has exhibited increased ac-
tivity and exceptional prosperity in all
branches of industry. 1t has afforded a con-
tinuance of peace and plenty and exemption
from general pestilence. 1t has witnessed the
tragic death of the nations chosen ruler, and
the touching sympathy and sorrow of civil
lized world IN our national bereavement. 1t
has seen great people chastened by calamity
and the dire event overruled by a Merciful
Providence for the nations good. This year,
moreover, witnesses the rescue of our beloved
state from threatened loss Of honor and the
happy removal of the financial stain which
has long dimmed her reputation.
Surely, oEr people never had greater cause
for fervent thanksgiving. Let our hearts be
lifted with gratitude to Almighty God. Let
the day be cherished for its sacred uses, for
kindly ministrations in the sick room, and for
that practical manifestation of gIadness which
seeks the relief of the poor in their destitute
homes.

Minstrel Performers Arrested

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 12.-Just after the

and Dan Waldron, the "Big A. of minstrel
fame, were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Her
man upon trial warrants sued out by VIM. E.
English, proprietor of the English Opera
house, indianapolis. The affair caused quite
a stir inStheatrical circles, and there was for a
time no little commotion about the Jail as to
the cause of the arrest. English says that
some months ago the "Big ~ made con-
tract with him to appear at the
theater in indianapolis on the It'll and
Sth of the present month, and failed
to comply with their contract. They can
celled their engagement without giving
enough time to secure another combination to
fill their place He says that he repeatedly
wrote them and they failed 10 answer his
letters. By the terms of the contract the "Big
4" were to receive 65 per cent. of the gross
earnings and he the remainder. He thinks
that he was damaged to the extent of $500 by
their unfullflment of their contract, and this
is the amount which he claimed, together
with S25 for probable costs.

Railroad Travel.

Despite all the accidents of railroad
travel, it is the safest kind of transit vet
devised. A French statistician, who is
not connected with railroad journalism,
has shown that in France previous to
the existence of railroads one passenger
in every 335, 900 was killed and one out
of every $4,000 wounded, whereas be-
tween 1885 and 1875 there was but one
in 5, It's, $50 killed and one ir 55O,45O
wounded. From this is infe. ed di-
minishing tendency to accidents which
must be set down to the credit of rail-
