Thanksgiving Day.
THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION.

-
TIE following proclamation has
been issued by the president:
A PROCLAMATION,
The American people have always abundant
cause to be thankful to Almighty God, whose
watchful care and guiding hand have been mani
tested in every stage of their national fe guard
ing and protecting them in times of peril and safe
ly leading them in the hours of darkness and
Danger. 1t is fitting and proper that nation
thus favored should on one day in every year for
that purpose especially appointed, publicly ac-
knowledge the goodness of God and return
thanks to Him for all his gracious gifts. There
fore, l. Grover Cleveland, president of the United
States of America, do hereby designate and
set apart Thursday, the Goth day of Novem-
Der next, as the day for public thanksgiving
and prayer, and do invoke the observance of
the same by all the people of the land. On that
day let all secular business be abandoned, and let
the people assemble in their usual places of wor-
ship, and with prayer and songs of praise devout-
ly testify their gratitude TO the Giver of every
good and perfect gift for ali that He has done for
us in the year that has passed; for our preserva-
ton as a united nation, and our deiiverance from
the shock and danger of political CONFUSION, for
the blessings of peace, and for safety and
quiet while wars and rumors of wars have agi-
tated and afflicted other nations OF the earth; for
security against the Scourge of pestience which
in ether lands has claimed its dead by thou
sands and filed the streets with mourners:
for the plentsous crops which reware the labor
or the huSbandmaH and the increase Of our ma
lions wealth and for the contentment throughout
our borders which follows on the train of pros
perity and abundance; and let there also be on
the day thus set apart a reunion of families
sanctioned and chastened by tender memories
and associations, and let the social intercourse of
friends with pleasant Renaissance renew the ties
Of affection and strengthen the bonds of kindly
feeling. And let us by no means forget that while
we give thanks and enjoy the comforts which
have crowned our lives that truly grateful hearts
are inclined to deeds of charity and that kind
and thoughtful remembrance Of the poor will
double the pleasure of our condition and rend-
er our praise and thanksgiving more acceptable
in the sight of God.

Grief SIGNAL OFFICER HAZEN in
tends to introduce new method of
publishing the weather predictions.
It is intended to prophesy the weather
for the regions respectively about the
large cities instead of prognosticating
according to certain Typographical
boundaries. The prediction for Chi>
cago, for instance, will tell the people
of northern and central Illinois what
to expect, while that of Cincinnati
will serve the same purpose for the
jewellers in the Ohio valley, and for
Milwaukee people in southeastern

The German Government is having
a deep shaft sunk near Schladebach,
with the object of obtaining various
kinds of scientific information, and
especially trustworthy data concera>
ing the rate of increase of the earth's
temperature as we descend into the in>
terror. The excavation is being car
ried on by a diamond-tipped borer
driven by water. So far back as the
beginning of this year the shaft has
reached the depth of 1898 meters.
which is believed to be the lowest depth
yet reached by boring. The tempera~
ture at successive stages is ascertained
by an ingenious instrument which
serves as a special thermometer. the
principle of construction being the
fact that as the heat increases the
mercury will expand so as to flow
over the lip of a sufficiently short
open tube IN greater and greater
quantities. The measurement of the
differences of these overfows will give
the rate of increase of the temperature.
1t has been ascertained that the tenn
perature at the depth of 1, 1872 meters
was 40 centigrade or 120' Fahrenheit.
If the temperature increases regularly
at this rate, the boiling point of water
ought to be reached at depth of
5000 meters, and at rs kilometers we
should find the heat at which platin-
um melts. This will go to show that
the earth's crust can not be more than
one~ninetieth of its radius.

MURDERED BY SLOW POISON.
Death of a Beautiful Young Lady
Made the Victim of Mock Mar

r1age.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 6.-Miss
Sallie Newly, a beautiful young lady
of Spring City, died about two weeks
ago very mysteriously. The facts re,
gard1ng her death were suppressed,
and not until to-day did the truth
become known. On her dying bed
she told her secret to her family ply
siclan under his promise to guard her
confession sacredly, but to day he was
prevailed UPON to disclose the truth.
For some months past young man
named Joe Hicks had been paying
devoted attentions to the young lady.
He persuaded her into secret mar
riage, under pretense that his mother
would oppose the match. He ins
weighed her into an adjoining county
and with the assistance of confeder-
ate had a mock ceremony performed.
About a month afterward he began
administering medicine, and the
young girl gradually wasted away.
When it was too late she discovered
she had been murdered by slow poi
son, and died IN commissions. The
person who accomplished her ruin has
fed.
