In New England, the 9th of Novem-
Der, is designated by the governors as a
day of thanksgiving, humiliation and
prayer. On that day the true-blue yam
KEGS, there make turkeys and pumpkin
pies suffer. In this state Gov. IRELAND
designates it as day of thanksgiving
and rejoicing. The long-horns do feel
thankful, and when it comes to pure,
unadulterated rejoicing, they always
take the cake or something stronger.

LAST nights dispatches bring us the
grateful news that the deadlock in ILL
nois is at last and finally settled. The
Cook county canvassing board has dis
covered that there was regular in
version of the vote cast for senator in the
eighth ward of Chicago. BRAND was
the Democratic candidate, and LEMAN
the Republican. In tho count LEMAN's
vote was counted in as BRANDS, and
BRANDS as LEMAN's. By the rectiiica-
ton BRAND receives ten majority, and
the legislature of Illinois becomes DEM
ocratic by that one majority. 1t never
rains but that it pours, GEN. JOHN AU-

JUDGE j. II. DAVIS, of the Franklin
Herald, says: "The Dallas HERALD has
nominated us for sergeant-at-arms of
the next house of representatives. The
HERALD very rarely makes a mistake
or goes wrsnr, but this is once II is
wrong. Our name may go before tho
senate for sergeant-at-arms, but not the
house; at least 1t is that way our aspira-
ton and friends point u.s." Well, now,
the HERALD will support the judge for
sergeant-at-arms of the senate. If II
had its way In tho matter 1t would elect
him TO both offices.

MR.. ELKINs assigns as reason for
the defeat of BLAINE that the Republic
can committee did not have money
enough to carry on the campaign. The
truth is they had sufficient "soap" to
send old Spooney BUTLER all over the
country in special ears in addition to
paying Mr.. BLAINE's menagerie ex-
penses. The party could have no
further use for money, unless it was to
buy voters.

PosTMAsTER-GENERAL HATToN has
ruled that undelivered letters addressed
in hotel envelopes will not be returned
to the mailing Office, unless written or
printed instructions are given to return
them. This seems to be proper, for
many persons travelling over the coun-
try write letters and post them in envel-
opes of the hotels at which they are tenn
porarily stopping. If such letters were
returned the writers would probably
never hear Of them, even if sent to the
office or hotel where they were posted.

A THOUSAND WIVES.


The Connubial OUTFIT OF Sidi muley Hannah.
From the Boston Advertiser
Do what they may, no Mormon leader
will equal the Sultan of Morocco, Sidi
Muley Hassan, who has Just added the
thousanth wife to his harem, and has
celebrated this unique millenary by n
brilliant feast given to the other 800, or
rather to the other 600, for 400 are either
dead or pensioned oil. Like the Nor
mons, the Sultan does not keep all
his better halves at one place, but dis
tributes them among his winter and
summer residences at Fee, Morocco,
Tafllet, and so forth. Even then, unless
he has more palaces than fall TO the lot
of most Emperors, there must be enough
In each house to seriously interfere with
harmony now and then. We wonder if
he felt as much pride and satisfaction
when he added the thousandth to the
number as Baron Tauchnitz did when he
published the thousandth volume of his
convenient "Collection of British Au-
thors?" For we imagine that after a
man has married his three or four hun
dredth nsort,-though on this point
we must speak with the doubt arising
from a total lack of experience he
cares very little for new wife. as
wife, and regards each further addition
much as a collector looks upon new
Elzevir, or new specimen Of japanese
pottery, or another pipe, when he does
not care to smoke, another violin, which
will hang upon his wall untouched 1t
is the pleasure of the miser who heaps
up stores; pleasure, which, in this line
OF boarding, only one man in the modern
world, fortunately, is allowed to have.
1t Is curious, however, to observe that.
while what might be called the physical
wonders Of the Arabian Nights Enter
tainments, the carpet of the horse
that travelled months journey in
day, the talisman that conveyed ones
words at once to the distant lover
that, while these and the like are com
ing true by the power of modern sci
ence, the social wonders, as they seem
to us Occidentals, are beginning to fade
away. A son of this very Sultan. the
Prince of Muley Edris, not long ago
married an Italian governess, who did
not give up, her religion, and who stip-
ulated that she should be the only wife /:
and brother OF the Sultan, the Sheriff
of Wezdan, has an English wife, who. no
doubt, was equally determined to have
her husband all to herself.

ored to-day by the presence of
Mr.. +. Chandler, General Ticket Agent
Of the Missouri Pacific, Wabash, st.
Louis and Pacific railways, and Mr.. Ben
w. Mccullough, General Manager of the
Gould railroad passenger business in
Texas. Neither of those gentlemen
would thank the Age for any statement
in its columns of those qualities that
give them personal popularity. At the
risk, however, Of mourning their dis
pleasure we mention the fact that in
their personal and business capacities,
and in the prompt, capable and efficient
performance of every duty devolved up
on them, they afford a splendid illustra-
tion Of the excellent judgement that
characterizes, in all its qualifications
and departments, the management of
the Gould railroad system. Mr.. Chand-
ler's headquarters are at st. Louis, Mr..
McCullough's at Marshall, and of their
respective offices they are ready at all
times, to accord courteous hearing to
business callers, and hearty greeting

because one of the San Antonio papers
expressed the opinion that S7,5oO,OOO
was too large an appropriation to pay
for the chance of getting deep water at
Galveston, but the i'll humor Of the Print
will not lift Galveston out of the mire.
Galveston cannot dictate to or brow
beat Texas, nor stiflle discussion, and
her newspapers would do well to recog-
nize this fact and to abate something of
their "Sir Oracle" manner when lectur-
ing about deep water. If Galveston
island was washed away, or submerged,
the State of Texas would scarcely feel it,.
The Print is more likely to hurt than TO
benefit Galveston by its Trades against
interior newspapers.

the press, which is directly invaded and
endangered by this subsection Of the

MR.. HUNT, the American Minister to

mediocrity. Neither his ability nor
character reached above mediocrity, and
his divorce from his second wife In order
to marry his third would have scandal
lied the lax go-as- please morality of
Chicago. No one ever could tell how, or
why Hunt was appointed to seat in
the Court of Claims, nor why Garfield
orammed him into his Cabinet, since he
merited neither the one position or the
other. The News puts him in the wrong
