THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
On the I'd instant the following procla'
nation was issued by the President

On the I'd instant the following procla-
nation was issued by the President
The American people have always album
dant cause to be thankful to the Almighty,
whose watchful care and guiding hand have
been manifested in every stage OF oa taear
national life. Guarding and protecting
them in the time of peril, and safely lead
ing them in the hour of darkness ana Oh
danger, it is fitting and proper that ma
ton thus favored should, on one day In
every year for that purpose expressly aP-
pointed publicly acknowledge the goodness
of God, and return thanks to him for al Ills
gracious gifts; therefore I, Grover Cleve-
| land, President of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the Goth day of November III,
slant, as day of public thanksgiving and
prayer, and do invoke the observance OF
same by all the people of the land On
| that day let all secular business be suspend
ed, and let the people assemble in their usual
places of worship, and with prayer ana
songs of praise devoutly testify their graft
tude to the giver of every good and perfect
gift for all that He has done for US In the
year that has passed, for our preservation as
| united nation, and for our deliverance from
the shock and danger of political convul-
sion ; for the blessings Of peace, and for
our safety and quiet while wars and ru,
mors of wars have agitated and afflicted
other nations of the earth for our security
against the scourge Of pestilence, which III
other lands has claimed its dead by thou
sands and filled the streets with mourners;
for the plenteous crops which reward the
labor of the husbandmen and increase our
nations wealth, and for the contentment
through out our borders which follows in
the train of prosperity and abundance and
let there also be on tho day thus set apart
reunion of families, sanctifed and chasten-
ed by tender memories and associations.
| and let the social intercourse of friends with
pleasant "reminiscences renew the ties of af-
lection and strengthen the bonds of kindly
feeling, and let US by no means forget,
while we give thanks and enjoy the COM
forts 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
pleasures of our condition and render our
praise and thanksgiving more acceptable
in the sight of the Lord.
Done at the city of Washington this I'd day
of November, one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-five, and of the independence of
the United States the one hundred and
tenth.

A Partisan Beauty.

Olympic Audouard has subsidized. She
was harum-s carum beauty of a Rubens
type. And did she not know how to set her
charms off to the best advantage l shall
never forget the effect she produced in the
Palais de Justice when she went there in
the character of a prosecuted wife. The
bar gravitated to the bench on which she
was sitting. Elderly barristers were per-
haps more expresses in their attention than
young ones. Olympic had the pink of the
peach blossom in her cheeks, large, blue,
prominent eyes, laughing mouth, fine
teeth, dimples galore, and a we'll modelled
nose. The white part of the complexion
was like the lily. There was such a wealth
of light brown wsvy hair, shot with gold,
that no amount of hair pins could keep it
from falling about. Olympic Oudouard
was rich and highly educated; imaginative,
credulous and good natured. After seeing
Adah Menken in Lies Pirates DIES Savanes'
she went to America to ride across the
prairies and was excessively tempted to
join the Shakers and the Mormons. She
ended by taking up equal rights and spirit
ualism, and was asked by the Empress Eu-
genie to give, at the Tulileries, the reason
for her belief in spirits. heard her leo
ture on the phenomena she had witnessed in
America. She had Southern fuency, and
lovely hands, to which magnificent rings
called attention. A fan lay on the desk be-
fore her, and she often used it with grace
full effect. 1t was very pretty to see how
she famed off fly that bnzzed about her.
Her early history was this: She was the
daughter of very rich man, and, against
her will, was married to one still richer,
who neglected her to run after pretty ac-
tresses. A revolt was the consequence. If
less beautiful, she might have become IA
nous, for she really had eloquence. But
she enjoyed too much of the incense of ad-
miration excited by her beauty and bonnie
grace to cultivate her gifts with persever-
ance. Olympic made, unintentionally, a
conquest of the late Emperor; but, as she
was not ambitious, refused to follow it up

SPEEDY Cur IN A HoRsE.--The bruising
and cutting of the ankles or knees of .
horse by striking these with the shoe of the
other foot is known as speedy cut 1t il
commonly caused by the heel calk which,
as the horse turns the foot sideways, pro.
jects and strikes the opposite limb. It is
prevented by having no calks on the shoes
by narrowing in the heels Or by tightening
the inside of the shoe; also by carrying a
string of large wooden beads around each
ankle or using straw band in the same
way. To cure the injury apply solution
of one dram of sulphate Of zinc in pint OF
water and keep cloth wet with it over
the part.

EARTHQUAKE RESISTING FOUNDATIONS.
The earthquake committee of the British
Association has described experiments made
in Japan-the home of earthquakes-in
placing house upon rollers resting upon
the foundation. With ten inch iron balls
the earthquake shock was made less sudden,
but the building was easily moved by the
wind. Smaller balls were tried, until f.
nally the structure rested on a handful of
quarterback iron shot placed upon each of
the supporting piers. By this arrangement
the effect of earthquakes is greatly mItiga-
ted without exposing the house to danger
from the wind.

FattenIng Hogs.

In fattening good, strong, vigorous hogs,
over year old, corn and water make a
good food. We do not say there is nothing
better; but if we lived in the great corn
growing sections, we should not look for
any thing cheaper or more fattening.
In fattening younger pigs, however, a
greater variety Of food is desirable. We
want the pigs to grow and fatten at the
same time. For this purpose we need a
good breed, or a good grade of hogs. We
need warm, dry, comfortable quarters, and
plenty of good, easily digested food. The
best and most easily digested food is milk.
The slops from the house, or the refuse
from hotel, including scraps OF meat and
fat, and bread and vegetables, are proverbi-
ally excellent. On the farm, any food we
do not know what else to do with, goes to
the pigs. This is right. But if we want
to fatten the pigs we must see that they
have some kind of grain, in addition to-
such food as cabbage leaves, beets, mangels,
sweet apples, small and partially rotted po-
tatoes etc. The secret of economical feed
ing consists in giving the pigs all the grain
they can eat, without weakening their ap-
petite for the mixed and cheaper food and
vegetables.
When corn is the principal food for young
fattening pigs. little bran, Or rather, what
we call s'fne feed," is very desirable. If
the corn is fed whole, good plan is to mix
the fine feed with the water-say pint to
each gallon of water-and let the pigs have
all they will drink of it. If the pigs have
all the vegetables they will eat, they will
not drink much water, and more fine feed,
say quart to a gallon of water, may
be used. If the pigs do not take to
the fine feed and water, mix in little corn
meal till they get in the habit of drinking
it.-American Agricutturistf for November.
How TO PLow A STONY ZELDA stony
field is best plowed in this way, viz : AS
each furrow is turned the stone along the
next strip is pushed or drawn into the fur
row with hoe Ifthere are any large ones
they should be carried to the side of the
field in the hollow of the plow or in bag
fastened across the handles or taken from
the field in a sled to the fence rows The
smaller stones are buried under the next
furrow slice. Any that will pass through
the harrow teeth may be left and are real
ly an advantage, as they retain the moisture
of the soil and condense more in damp
weather. A stony field should always be
rolled after it is sown, and again in the
spring to press the stones into the soil and
put them out of the way of mower, reaper
of scythe.
