ANSEXArIoN OF uoNDuHas.

A scheme is said TO be on foot looking to
the annexation Of the important little Re-
public of Honduras, in Central America
This is the most valuable tract of country
in that region, and is hardly exceeded in
resources by any similar area in the world.
Statistics concerning il are not very reliable,
but it has probably about $4,000 square miles
Of territory, being therefore nearly the size
Of Mississippi or Alabama. The Popula-
ton is estimated at 100000, of which about
$4,000 are Indians, 2O5,00O Mestizos, OF de-
scendants of white and Indian parents; $3.50
pure whites, and nearly as many negroes. 1t
has long coast, lying on the Atlantic and
also On the Pacific. The country adjacent
TO this is swampy and unhealthy, but the
interior is high and salubrious. 1t has the
finest rosewood and mahogany forests in the
world. Large quantities of indigo are raised,
and coffee, sugar, tobacco, spices and vans
are produced abundantly. Much gold is
found in the sands of the rivers, and il is
believed that gold mines Of unsurpassed rich
ness arc plentiful. The mining interest was
once very important, but the ceaseless insur-
rections and revolutions have well-nigh de-
strOyed it as well as other branches of
national industry.
OF late years prominent men in Honduras
have been endeayoring to interest American
capitalistsin the development of the resources

JEFF DAVIS is sorely troubled in mind
about the publication by the Southern Biz

in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and other North
western States to get up fire in the rear

OUR OWN THANKSGIVING.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has its own
special Thanksgiving, in which we know all
of its readers will join. It's success this
year has outstripped the record of all pre-
vious wears. Never has il had the commenda-
tons from all sections and from everybody
that it is now receiving. Never has its list of
subscribers been nearly so large, and never
have all its friends been so enthusiastic in
booming it to still greater success. 1t has to-
day, and has had for more than year past,
very much the largest circulation Of any
family weekly paper in the United States.
The only papers of any kind that exceed its
circulation are the great story papers. We
do not want the good work to stop here. The
paper can have double the circulation it now
has, and it will have if all those who express
admiration for it will try little to have their
acquaintance take it. It is TO their benefit
as well as ours that this should be done, for the
more subscribers THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
has the better paper will it be made, and the
more effective it can plead the sacred cause
of justice to The soldiers, their widows and
orphans

There were several of 'em that hit him-all

know them by sight. The last time we saw
them they were dressed in blue clothes,
loaded down with an assortment of family
groceries, so rounds of cartridges, Spring

patting down the Carolina mud with No. 10

keep an appointment with the shy and

Mrs. SARAH NICHOLS the Senior National
Yice-President of the Woman's Relief Corps,
and the Department President of New York,
made an excellent impression upon every one
during herrecent visitto Washington, whittier
she came to organize the work in the Depart
ment Of the Potomac. She is o woman of
dignifed and pleasing manners, thoroughly
in earnest in the cause for which she
has labored so long, and well calculated to
infuse her own spirit into those with whom
she comes in contact. The ladies of the
Relief Corps were especially pleased with
the thoroughness with which she drilled
them in their duties, being satisfied before
she left them that they fully understood
every minutia. Such an organizer as she is
is invaluable to any Order.

THE news that the River PO is overflow
ing its banks and submerging wide area
of country will be of interest TO those en-
gagged in the discussion Of levees for the
Mississippi. The Po is an illustration of
how useless levees are as permanent pro-
lection against the flood. The river has
raised its bed just rs fast as the banks of
eitherside have been raised, and consequently
its surface is nov much higher than the sur
rounding country. A curious sight is pre-
scented travellers on steamboats, that traverse
the river, Of high houses and church steeples
lying below them in the cities that line the
river. Every time there is an unusual rise
in the river the levees are broken and the
destruction of property is enormous.

DEATH OF EX-PREsIDtNT ARTHUR.
The country has been called upon to
mourn the death of another of its prominent
public men-one who acquitted himself
creditably of every public trust confded to
him. Chester A. Arthur was in no sense n
great man, but he was undeniably an honest,
efficient one, of fine talents and strong con-
victions of duty. he early indicated his
firmness of principle when, rs struggling
young lawyer, he espoused the cause of de-
spised and oppressed negroes, where other
men in his position recOiled from such .
course as certain to blast his social and bust
ness prospects. lie sacrificed himself again
during the war, when he yielded to the
solicitations of the Governor Of New York
and remained at the head of his admin
istratiye staff, where he was doing splendid
work, rather than 60 to the field where his
tastes called him, and where he would have
gained more honor, but possibly not done as
much real good as he did by staying at home
and supporting and recruiting New York's
troops in the field.
As q President, Mr.. Arthur was not 8

THASKsGIyIEGs IN THE PAST.
1t is interesting at this time TO look back
on some previous Thanksgivings
When Thanksgiving Day came around in
1860 it found the whole country depressed
with fear and fOreboding. Abraham Lin
coin and Hannibal Hamlin had been elected
President and Vice President and the rebel
conspirators were flashing their deluded
people into rebellion. The Secession Con-
vention of South Carolina had already been
called, and the dark clouds Of civil war low
cred all around the horizon.
il looked much worse when Thanksgiving
came next year. The rebellion seemed in
full tide Of success. The crushing defeat Of
Bull Run had been followed by the sicken-
ing slaughter at Balls Bluff, the death Of
Gen. Lyon at Wilson's Greek, and the cap
ture Of the garrison at Lexington, Mo-, and
the rebel Gag foated defantly in plain sight
Of the Capitol at Washington. The whole
people were depressed with doubt as TO the
ability Of our military leaders TO cope with
those who were at the head Of the rebel
hosts.
Thanksgiving time could be enjoyed with
little more spirit in 1862 Ia the East tht
defeats on the Potomac and Peninsula, and
at the second Bull Run, were partially re
deemed by the halfway victory at Ante
tam, and Bragg's invasion OF Kentucky hat
been arrested and partial victory gained a
PeTryyille. Rosecrans had won a brillian
little success at Cornth, but Grant and Sher
man were preparing movement on Yicks
burg, which promised great results.
Thanksgiving time in 1863 was surround
ed by still brighter hopes and memories
though these were qualified by the terribl
loss OF Chickamauga. The disaster Of Chan
csllOrsyille had been more than repaired b,
the glorious victory Of Gettysburg, loya
East Tennessee had been redeemed from Oh
bitter despotism Of the rebels. and the CAP
