A Boston special says: There is a
lively commotion in mugwumpdom in
this town. The immediate occasion of
it is an announcement made some days
ago that Carl Sehurz is coming here to
assume active control of daily news
paper. The inside history of the at
tempt is interesting. Schurz has had
his eyes turned in this direction ever
since he left the Evening Post in New
York. He tried to get hold of the
Boston Post for its debts, some $4,000
but failed Old Democratic war horses
did not relish the idea of letting the
paper go over to the mugwumps, but
they had to consider whether they
would not have to make q virtue of
necessity. Schurz's friends made a
more liberal offer, and then the owners
of the daily Advertiser became fright
ened, because the Advertiser, having
been the organ of the mugwumps,
would suffer, it was feared, if the Post
should enter the field. They offered
Schurz's friends the Advertiser, but
ther already had made terms with the
Post. From present appearances, how
ever. it is quite likely that the paper
Schurz will control will turn out to be
the venerable Advertiser, instead of
the equally venerable Post.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
The President has issued the follow

The President has issued the follow
ing thanksgiving proclamation:
The American people have always
abundant cause to be thankful to AL
mighty God whose watchful care and
guiding hand have been manifested in
every stage of their national life, guild
ing aud protecting them in time of per
il, and safely leading them in the hour
of danger.
1t is fitting and proper that people
thus favored should on one day in ev-
cry year, for that purpose specially ap-
pointed, publicly acknowledge the
goodness of God and return thanks to
Him for all His gracious gifts.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, Pres
iaent of the United States of America
de hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the 26th day of November,
instant, as Il day af public thanksgiv-
ing and prayer, AMI do invoke the oh
servance of the same by all the people
of the land. On that day let all secu-
lar business be suspended and let the
people assemble iu their usual places of
worship, and with prayers of song and
praise devoutly testify their gratitude
to the girer of every good and perfect
gift, for all that He has done for us in
the year that has passed, tol our pres
ervation as united nation, and for
our deliverance from the shock and
danger of political convulsion; for our
safety and quiet while wars and ru-
alors of wars have agitated and affect
ed other nations of the eaath; for our
Security against the scourge of pesti-
lence which in other lands has claimed
its dead by thousands, and filled the
streets with mourners; for the plente
Gus crops which rewarded the labor of
the husbandmen and increase our na-
tions wealth, and for contentment
throughout our borders, which follows
the train of prosperity and abun-
dance.
And let there also be on the day set
apart reunion of families, sanctiied
and chastened by tender memories and
and let the social inter-
course of friends with pleasing reminis-
,,ences renew ties of affection and
strengthen bonds of kindly feeling
And let us by no means forget, 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 kin1 and
thoughtful remembrance of the poor
will double the pleasure of one condi-
tion and render our praise aud thanks
giving more acceptable in the sight of
the Lord.

fear the effects of free trade agitation

that body at an early stage of the ses-

How the Rural Sports Played 1t on the De-
. troit Betting Man.
A Detroiter who was spending sew
eral days in town in the interior soon
discovered that every villager whom he
was introduced to had a fondness for
betting. They'd bet on anything, from
the color of horse on the hill mile
and half away to the number of flies
which would light on a pane of glass
in a given time. The Detroiter kept
clear of any wagers for day or two,
and then put up job. He got a
string and secretly measured the dis
lance from the hotel steps to certain
hitching post. and next day, when the
betting fever began to rage, he showed
his hand.
Gentlemen" said he, II am not a
betting man, but seeing that you are
anxious for a wager of some sort I'll
lay twenty-five dollars that l can guess
within foot of the distance to that
hitching post"
"Donen' cried the voice of the land
lord, and the money was put up.
'Now, what do you guess?
"Ninety-seven feet"
By his measure it was six inches
mose. He had measured the string
twice over with rule and he felt that
he was twenty-five dollars ahead. One
of the boys ran for a tape-line and the
measure was taken in a manner no
one could dispute. The figures were
ninety-nine feet, and the landlord had
won.
81 don't see how it is" muttered the
Detroiter, but second measurement
verified the figures. 1t was a full hour
before he recovered from the stunning
blow. Then he walked over to the
post and discovered that some time
during the previous night, and prob
ably soon after his measurement, it
had been moved q foot and q half

There are many who have to 90
through part of life at least with the
loss of an arm or leg, and any one
can realize in measure the privations
such loss can occasion; but very few
are called upon to exist without either.
and very few realize the extent to
which human ingenuity can provide
means of compensation in such cases.
Sometimes it seems as if nature gives
what aid it can, and when the physical
completeness has been denied sought
to make up the deficiency with more
than average mental gifts. Such OBJ
servations might naturally occur to the
individual who was acquainted with
