EAT AND GIVE THANKS.
Suggestions for the Thanks giving Ta-
BILE by Statesmen's Wives.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 27.-Mrs. Sec
retary Whitney is one of the most charming
women in Washington. The interviewer
has little trouble in approaching her but he
will find 1t hard to get away. l talked with
her yesterday about Thanksgiving arrange
ments. "Well," she said, I'VE generally
keep the day with Mr.. Whitney's two sisters
in New York, dividing the Christmas and
Thanksgiving holidays between us. Some
times we go to the home of the Secretary's
mother, at Brookline, near Boston. Our
Thanksgiving dinner is always served at
o'clock, because on that day we have the
children with us, and their unrestricted en-
Joyment requires more time for digestion
than usual We also try to have the old
fashioned edibles served very much in the
usual way. Our Thanksgiving dinner will
probably consist, first, of oyster soup, which
will be followed by fish. Then the great
turkey with cranberry sauce and
vegetables. We always bring the pies on at
once. think they make the table very at
tractive, with their crisp and unbroken sur
faces covered with white sugar. / should
consider the dinner incomplete without
cranberry tarts, with strips of dough deli
cately Drowned across the top. l have
adopted the ideas of my husbands mother on
the pie question, and we have no end of pies
-mince pie, pumpkin pie, apple pie and all
the old fashioned varieties. My mother-in-
law mades a kind that never see elsewhere.

which do not remember, although it has
one. 1t is made of grated apples and
whipped cream. At my own home in Ohio,
it was our custom to serve small pig, roast
ed whole, which stood in the middle of the
table, with lemon in its mouth. Our boy
Is always happy when he is at Grandma
Whitney's, because she lets him have un-
limited mince pie. He has it for breakfast
and dinner and piece for lunch He de-
clares that his grandma's pies never make
him sick"
"My Thanksgiving dinner like to be as
much as possible the product of our own
farm" said Mrs. Secretary Fairchild.
There is a sentiment connected with this
particular festival that makes it seem more
pleasant still to give thanks for the sheaves
that have been ripening through the year, es-
pecially for us. and it is not all sentiment.

The Cha hatham and Yarmouth Report
Hard Struggle with the Gale.

Hard Struggle with the Gale.
BosToN, Nov. 27..-The steamer Chatham
of the Boston, Baltimore and Norfolk Line,
which arrived at this port early this morn
ing, was the first of the coastwise steamers
to come in afetr the gale, and her officers re-
port the passage as one of tn toughest on
record. The steamer came safely through
it. however. without serious injury to ship or
cargo, the only damage being to some of the
light woodwork on deck. The steamer was
heavily loaded with full cargo and was
drawing II feet of water aft, but made good
weather OF the gale, in spite Of everything
that old Boreas could bring to bear.
The steamer Yarmouth, Capt. Doane. ar
rived at Boston this morning, reaching her
dock at about 9 a. m. Capt. Doane reports
that on the morning of Nov. 25th he en-
countered northeast gale, with binding
the steamers length ahead. An extremely
heavy sea was running The Yarmouth
was kept on her course until Sunday noon,
when it was judged that the steamer was
near Halfway Rock. 1t was then too thick
to proceed farther, and the steamers head
was turned to the eastward. In this direc-
tion she was run about thirty miles. The
storm moderated somewhat ON Monday,
when another attempt was made to run in,
but thick snow soon appeared again, and the
steamer was again kept off shore for while.
When the weather improved a little the
steamer was again started for Boston, and
was not compelled this time to turn back.
She proved herself a good sea boat, and
reached this port without damage. On NoY.
18th, at p. m, about 20 miles east of Thatch-
er's Island, she passed steamer with red
top funnel, probably a steam collier. She
was laboring heavily and making bad wealth
er. AT the same time she passed a small
schooner with a cargo of latbs. Her deck
load was partially washed away, and she was
hove to.
The schooner Lizzie Mills, for New York,
is still on the flats at the head of the Lynn
harbor, near the Pines. She is strained
somewhat and leaking, but will come off all
right, as she lies easy. One little schooner,
blown out of Gloucester harbor, came across
the bay under storm trysail and not another
rag of canvass on her, running dead before
the gale She came plump into the harbor
through fleet of so sail with the weather so
thick that 1t was impossible to see the length
OF the craft, and rounded to at Pennsylvania
pier as though she had been shot there from
gun. Her captain never made such bee
line passage before.
Steamer Longfellow, Capt. Smith, arrived
at Boston this afternoon from Provincetown.
Capt. Smith reports the schooner Clara E.
ColcOrd, of Rockland Me-, at anchor about
eight miles west-Southwest from Wood End
Light lentrance to Provincetown harb0r.]
The schooner's crew is disabled. No damage
to vessel The Longfellow placed crew on
board to assist in getting the vessels an
chors, In order to reach Provincetown.

ARCHIBALD FoRsEs's TRIBUTE.
SherIdan's Genius as Viewed by the
Famous Correspondent.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Mr. Archibald Forbes
contributes special article to the Pail Mall
Gazette on the military ability of General
Sheridan, apropos of the publication of the
latter's memoirs in London. He begins by
combating Lord Wolseley's theory that a
successful commander must be master of
military history, arts and sciences. and cites
notable achievements of citizen soldiers in
the civil war. Sheridan, he says, was a
graduate of West Point, but was not an apt
scholar, and there is no hint in his memoirs
that he ever after graduation opened book
treating Of the art of war.
Eight years Of Indian service strengthened
in him the American virtues Of self-reliance,
judicOus boldness, subtlety and adaptable
ity. He served in obscure capacities during
the early part of the war until Grant marked
his merit and made him commander of the
cavalry corps Of the Army of the Potomac.
In conclusion, Forbes says: $50 brilliant
was Sheridan's work as q cavalry leader
tnat his name has come TO be associated
has been done him, for he handled all arms
with equal skill and enterprise, and in the
success of the final, nercest struggle that
eliminated in Lees surrender at Apponat-
tox Court House be stands out as the princi-
pal igure. in whose track of tornado energy
Grant seems to have followed tamely.
"In the soldierly characteristics of Sheri
dan and Skobeleff there was much In com
mon. Both men had innate military genius,
both possessessed the magnetism which in
spired to heroism the men they led; both,
when occasion called, became veritable thun-
derbolts Of war; both had their fighting ar
dor under control, and both were endowed
with infinite capacity for taking pains to
