To MORROW, November 3Oth, viii
be Thanksgiving Day. The banks wi !
be closed, also the postoflce, excel I
for an hour or 80, and the leading
places of business, including the
LEDGER establishment. There will
be no paper issued from this Office to-
morrow. 1t will be a general holiday,
one of thanksgiving and rejoicing
The rich can be thankful in their
abundance and their willingness, we
trust, to aid those less fortunate, and
even the poorest may find some cheer
snd comfort. The country at large is
in more prosperous condition than at
any time within the memory of the
present generation. We are at peace
with all the world, and every citizen is
protected in his rights. The fields
have brought forth abundantly, capital
is certain of fair returns on invest
ment, and labor is paid enough to
secure the necessities and some of the
comforts of life-which would have
been considered great luxuries less
than fifty years ago. So we are
a progressive people, and on
the average very we'll to do, with still
brighter prospects in the future.
Holidays are beneficial in many ways.
1t gives people opportunity Tor mental
and physical relaxation. for family
and neighborhOod reunions and makes
them live longer and he more useful
and happy. We believe in holidays
and in none, not even Christmas, more
than in Thanksgiving Day. IServices
will be held 10 some of the churches,
Of which due announcement will be
made, aud business will be generally
suspended.

Helena special says: News reached here to-
day of an accident on the plantation of the
late Colonel Ellis. eleven miles below this
city, by which six children were drowned.
1t seems that Charles Washington, colored,
when he found the plantation would be
overhowed last Friday, put his wife and six
children into a dugout to take them to a
place of safety. He had just started when
the dugout capsized and all the children
were drowned. Washington and wife were
saved by clinging to the capsized boat. The
behaved father was q hard-working man.
Information has also just been received of
the drowning of Moses Green, colored. on
Willard & Collins plantation, on the Mis-
sissippi side, by the capsizing Of dugout."

An epitaph is curious place in which to
look for wit, but there are two epitaphs
which. while they excite a smile, do not
interfere with more serious thoughts When
the actor Burbadge died, his friends pom
dered over q suitable inscription, and at
last happily hit upon this, which is simple
enough and yet tells the whole story, Exit
Burbadge." When Charles Knight died
Jerrold suggested that this equally simple
inscription should be put on his tomb,

A widower who had added unto himself
second rib, which he afterward found could
be denominated "a spare rib," was in the
habit of referring to rib No. as perfection,
which was certainly exscerbating to the last
degree. One day he even went so far as to
say that he was sorry that she had died. The
spare rib at once replied: believe me, my
dear, yon can not possibly regret her loss as
much Is do"

Rogers used to tell with great glee and
eclat OF duel which Frenchman and an
Englishman had in darkened room. When
he was dining in London he always said
that the Englishman, unwilling to take his
antagonist slife, magnanfmously fired up the
chimney, and, to his great surprise, killed
the Frenchman. When he was dining in
Paris, however. he always said that the
magnanimous Frenchman fired up the Chin
ney and killed the Englishman. In this
way he made everybody happy and helped
to allay those bitter National animosities
which all but Americans are apt to enter

namely that he IS his mothers bairn, and

that not q ship floats the ocean, nor a crop
of grain is sent to market in all the wide,

later, part of his profits will accrue

which all the rest would be deprived of its

SIX CHILDREN DROWNED.

The Irish,


The Irish in Ireland number about
six millions. The Irish out Of Ireland
are rcckoned at twenty millions. This
is the estimate Of the Irish members Of
Parliament represented in this
country by Mr.. T. M. Healey-who
claims TO have the ear and confidence
Of "nation of twenty-siX millions OF
people"
The claim is not destitute of founda-
ton, for the Irish in foreign lands do
not cease to be Irish, and they are en-
abled to act in concert through their
adherence to their national Church.
See what a company of Irish people
in a country town will do in few years,
though most of them may be servants
and laborers They will build hand
some church, the largest in the place,
and pay for it before it is dedicated.
Then, in comparatively brief time,
will arise Sunday-school chapel, par
sonage, parochial school, possibly
nunnery, all well built and well fur
nished, and paid for by the poorest of
our industrial population.
This machinery can at any moment
be employed for any purpose which
both priest and people heartily and re-
ligiously approve. Show the Irish peo-
pie in foreign countries fair chance to
set ireland free by raising money, and
we believe they would send forward
amounts never before contributed by
any people for patriotic purpose,
1t is, therefore, not without reason,
that Mr. Parnell and% his colleagues
claim to represent nation of twenty
six millions. There are six millions at
home to keep up agitation; there are
twenty millions abroad to furnish, if
they please, the money for this purpose
