Wearing Mourning.

Doubtless there are many who
conceive themselves comforted
by Grape and bombazing and their
feelings ought to be respected.
We are greatly the creatures of
habit. Amoung the Hebrews the
conventional expressions of grief
consisted in tearing garments, cut
ting the hair and beard and going
about bareheaded and barefooted
weeping aud shifting the breast.
The Greeks kept themselves Sc
cluded, wore coarse black garments
and walled bitterly. During en-
pire the women wore white mourn
ing in place of black, cheerful
custome, at least. Among bar
barians mourning rites are horri-
BILE, including burning and ampu-
talon. In the Sanwich Islands
the natives paint their faces and
knock out their front teeth. The
Chinese, more hopeful than the
caucasions, believe their friends
are alive and happy in some dis
tant cline and so use white in
stead of black. Even the Turkish
mourning is cerulean, to represent
the sky to which their loved have
flown, while the Ethiopians typify
the dust of which they are made
by the brown they don on funeral
occasions. Everywhere it is con-
ventional and more or less bar
barrie. How unlike a conception of
that "other world" of Mrs. stowe:
Sweet henrts around us throb and beat
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the vail between
with breathing almost heard.
In multitudes of cases families
put into pompose funeral ceremon-
les and costly mourning enough to
save them from impending want
Who can suppose that the depart
ed would desire such trappings,
when no one is benefited and nc
real respect shown by the unwis'
dom? Modern oblations take q
different form but amount to the
same thing as the ancient. A sac
rifice on the altar of show and cere.
mony is a sacrifice still. Where
the wealthy indulge, the poor
certainly will. A costly casket, g

Grape and on empty larder, debts
anxiety and wYetchedness, NoI
can they abate one jot the pangs O
separation, which can only be as
suaged by trust in that Providence
which comprehends all we can
ever know of deathless and eXalt
ed objection.

President Cleyeland's Thanksgiving
Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA pro-
clamation by the President Of the
United States;
Constant thanksgiving and graf
itude are due from the American
people to Almighty God for His
goodness and mercy which have
followed them since the day, He
made them a Nation and vouch-
safed to them a free government.
With loving kindness He has con-
stantly i d us in the way of pros
perity and greatness. He has not
visited with swift punishment our
shortcomings, but with gracious
care he has warned us of our de
pendence upon His forbearance,
and has taught US that obedience
to His holy law is the price of a
continuance of His precious gifts.
In an acknowledgement Of all that
God has done for us as Nation,
and TO the end that on an appoint
ed day the united prayers and
praise of u grateful country may
reach the Throne Of Grace, l.,
Grover Cleveland, President Of the
United States, do hereby designate

THE BUSTED COAST.

Mr.. Levi Hamilton of the Neiderlander
office returned Sunday evening from visit
of some months along the Pacific coast and
at Salt Lake City. He took in all the re-
ported booming towns of California and
says that the quiet there nowadays is OF
the most painful sort. Truly the towns
were doomed on the climate BY Frisco
sharks who branched out to take in all
eastern suckers. They for sometime had
been having a picnic laying out towns,
selling out and moving to another, taking
a good per cent of the boom. The money
of visitors had been spread all over that
sandy coast and was SO thick that in
towns half the size of Wichita property is
considerable higher than here. In Los
Angeles where some had dared to talk of
manufacturing, coal came from Washing
ton Territory in boats at the rate of SIS
per ton. This did not look TO him very
much like Los Angeles would become the
Pittsburg of the west.
He met quite number of Wichita peo-
pie, among them, Mr.. w. H. Grattan, who
has been taking in the country for some
months. and who expressed himself
thoroughly disguised with the sand and
climate. He expected 10 so to Washing
ton Territory in a few weeks
Mr.. Hamilton says he failed to find a
town with the resources and bright pres
ent and future of Wichita
