THANKSGIVING DAY.

Whereas the President of the United States has designated the twenty-eight day of November as day of National Thanksgiving and prayer in the following
 PROCLAMATION.
 A highly favored people, mindful of their dependence on the bounty of divine providence, should seek fitting occasion to testify gra tituds and ascribe praise to him who is the author of their many blessings. It behooves us, then, to look back with thankful hearts over the past year and bless God for his infinite mercy in vouchsafng to our land enduring peace, to our people free dom from pestilence and famine, to our husbandmen abundant harvests, and to them that labor a recompense for their toll.
 Therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America, do earnestly recommend that Thursday, the 18th day of the present month of November, be set apart as day of National Thanks giving and prayer, and that the people of our country, ceasing from the cares and labors of their working days, shall assemble in the irrespect- i've Elaces of worship and give thanks to God who has prospered us on our way and made our paths the paths of peace; beseeohing him to bless the day to our present and future good it truly one of thanksgiving for each reunited home circle as for the nation at large.
 In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be 
 Done at the city of Washington this first day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States the one hundred and fourteenth.

 Secretary of Arizona,

THE administration at Washing ton has not given northern Arizona recognition in the matter of appoint ments. Now, we think that this portion of Arizona, where nearly two-thirds of the criminal business of the Territory is transacted should receive the appointment of the United States Marshal for this Ter ritorY. All the judges and in fact all the other Federal officers have been taken from southern Arizona. This portion has a candidate for that position in the person of Hon, George D. Brown, a man who is an Republican, em inently qualified to fill this office, and who honesty not eveH his bitterest enemies doubt. We sincere Iy hope to see him appointed.

The Beds of Royalty.

Clarence House is one of the most comfort
able houses in London, and is famous for Its
good beds, for the only daughter of Alexan-
der II of Russia is, like many Muscovite ladies
very particular about her beds aud will toll
crate none but the very best. RAl when q
mere child and long before her marriage
she was so particular about this very impor-
tant item in domestic comfort that, to insure
the sheets being tightly stretched over the
mattress, she used to have them sewn down.
for even the slightest crease or wrinkle would
entirely destroy the repose of this imperial
spoilt child for the night.
His royal highness usea to be greatly chaff-
ed about this weakness by members OF our
royal family when first sha came to this coun-
try, but the queen, who is also very particu-
lar about her beds, stuck up for her, and al
though now the sheets are no longer sewn
down to the mattress, they are composed OF
the most exquisitely fine linen that can be
procured, and stretched like tight rope
over the most perfect mattresses that can be
manufactured in Paris, in which capital the
making of mattresses has been brought up te
the level of a fine art
A curious and amusing chapter might in
deed be written about the beds of illustriou:
personages. The ex-empreSS Eugene Is quite
as particular about her beds as the Duchess
of Edinburgh or our gracious sovereign and
quite agrees with the first named lady as to
the fineness of the linen and the tightness Of
the drawing of the sheets, but her imperia
majesty has an odd fancy to have her bed SC
low as to give visitor to the imperial bee
chamber the impression that the widow Of
Caesar is almost sleeping on the floor. 1t is
indeed, hardly elevated more than foot
from the floor, as all who have visited in old
days the private apartments at st. Cloud
Compiegne and the Tuileries will remember.
Another curious bed is that Of Sarah Bern
hardt 1t is nearly fifteen feet broad, and
when the great comedienne is indisposed and
receives her intimate friends reposing on bel
couch she looks like little golden haired birc
lost in great sea of white satin.-Moderr

BURIED, NOT DEAD.

We said good-by to our buried past,
And wept and mourned by the lonely grave
For the beautiful life that could not last, -.
The treasure no tenSerest prayer could save
Then into the world we turned away,
And sorrow walked with us day by day.
faded flower and torn white glove
Letters a lock of hair half curled,
Poor sad requests of our dear dead love,
Yet worth the wealth Of the whole wide world
A shell, pebble may tell Alright
OF the oceans depth and the oceans might.
We made grave and we said goodby;
All, foolish dreamers we moved apart,
And thought, in our folly, love could die,
While life throbbed on in the brain and heart
snow all is over" we signing said,
HSince love, the cherished. lies cold and dead"
Not SO, beloved ali, never SO!
Whenever your dear face comes in sight,
Heart springs to heart with the old warm glow
And silence speaks with the old delight;
An empty grave in the sunshine lies
But love still lives in our meeting eyes.

husband. One of the most interesting Is a
Casper di Salo violin Of a golden brown,
with decorated SCROLL whose graceful curve
ends in a head half cherub, half human. This
was carved in the Sixteenth century, by that
strange, wild genius, Benvenuto Cellini. The
violin was put into a museum to preserve it
when Innspruck was invaded by the French,
but soldier pilfered it and sold it for trife
to Rhehazek a collector Of violins. Ole Bull
longed for it the moment he saw it, but Rhe-
hack, though very poor, refused to sell it,
though he relented enough to say: "If ever l
do part with it you shall have it for 400
golden ducats" A few years later, when din
ing with Mendelssohn and Liszt, note with
an immense seal was brought to Ole Bull
Rhehazek was dead, and his son offered the
violin at his fathers price. When Ole Bull
joyfully shouted, SIT is mine! it is minel"

Removing Tight Finger Rings.

Use the finest silk or thread consistent
with strength-ordinary housewife thread is
strong enough. Pass the end between the
finger and ring, keeping the spool or unlim-
tied end at the side next the finger tip; then
wind downward toward the tip of the finger
for about quarter Of an inch; then wind of
from above by the short end about half this
amount. Proceed, alternately winding on
and on, always leaving about one-eighth of
an inch in breadth wound beneath the ring.
When the knuckle is passed the ring comes
off easily. Oil or soap the thread well and
push up the ring before commencing to wind
This method, it is believed, will remove any
ring.-New York Telegram
