THANKSGIVING.

President HARRISON has issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation. Thursday, the
Goth inst, is the day appointed for Joyful
thanksgiving to GoD for bounties received,
and his providence for the peace IN which
we are permitted to enjoy them; and for
the preservation of those institutions of
civil and religious liberty which He gave
our fathers the wisdom to devise and es-
tablish and the courage to preserve"
1t is glorious custom, this national
thanksgiving of ours. Yet how often is il,
spoken slightingly Of! If not the butt of
ridicule, how often is it made the shining
mark at which the keen pointed arrows of
satire are shotl And oven vulgar sarcasm
dares have its fling at one of the most
beautiful customs that has sprung
into existence in all our land, 1t
would be commonplace to say that oil
this is wrong. In so sacred a thiny
as this Thanksgiving proclamation
the party politics of the man issuing il
should be lost sight Of. Even the atheist
if not out of respect for COP, then out of
respect for many of his fellow citizens.
should close his mouth, and if he cannot
conscientiously join in the thanksgiving to
Almighty GoD-cannot SO much as Join in
the chorus of "amens" when grace is
ended-he would win golden opinions from
ell sorts and conditions of people by
observing, uncovered, respectful silence
about this thing. How much indeed have
our citizens to be thankful fora A slight
change in phraseology is all that is needful
to make passage in the writings of one of
the ancient prophets-which describes the
blessedness of the nation of israel. that
Con had peculiarly favored-apply to us
'What nation is there so great, who hath
GoD so nigh unto them, as the LORD our
GOD is in all things that we call
upon Him forl And what nation is
there SO great, that hath statutes
and Judgments so righteous as all
our law % Then follows an admonition
whereunto we would do well to give atten-
ton; "0nly take heed thyself, and keep
thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the
things which thine eyes have seen, and

With the abolition of polygamy and Of the Nor

THE GAY SECRETARY.

A correspondent Of the Philadelphls
Record gives a new and roseate picture of
Secretary BLAINE. 1t is far from being
the pinchedup and decrepit one that erst-
while dolefully fretted the frame work of
tho dismal press writer's. II does not pre-
sent the man of Maine bolstered up in
pillows, with one leg as big beer keg and
a tooth-ache expression on his wan fea-
lures. This one gives the Plumed Knight,
in series of stereopticon views, as the
gaily attired and rudy pattern of health
and elastic vigor-attending swell dinner
parties; attitudinizing in graceful postures
in front of his residence; risking pneu-
monla by standing in chilly places convers-
ing with friends; skipping recklessly over
dirt piles frcn the Red House to the state
department; bounding without an overcoat
up and down the steps like gazelle, and
with his polished silk hat iauntily tilted,
and altogether looking just too debonnatr
for anything.
We may not use the exact "parts of
speech" of the correspondent, but are sure
we catch the spirit of his description.
From the verbal photographs, we take it
this sprightly and sportive public function
airy very much resembles in his freshness
a fresh young widower. He dresses in the
tip of the mode, with clothes cut in the
height of fashion, and carries himself like
gay society man of the period. There is
nothing like him for style at the capital.
How these HARRIsoNs, the Hoosier peo-
pie from the beech-nut groves and hoop

avenue, "the cynosure Of neighboring
eyes!" And they have only themselves to
blame for it, too-pn and RUSSELL. 1t was

wreck; was wrong in the upper story

then checked his trunk for Washington. 1t
is a wonder with all his feats of strength
and agility before US, he didn't issue a
challenge to run foot-race, or break trace
chains by expanding his chest, or juggle
with 500 pound cannon balls or something
But he didn't. He just resumed at the old
stand, occupying his leisure moments in
being observed. And right in here fits an
anecdote which was some time since quoted
by friend Of Mr.. BLAINE dpropos of lust
such a case:
1t once happened in the Vine Street theatre
in Cincinnati that stalwart Kentuckian six
feet and more in height occupying front seat,
was guyed by the boys in the gallery with re.
peated cries OF Down in frontl'' until the

rung down to secure quiet. The manager in
the meantime having found that the extraordi-
nary height of the Kentucky gentleman was
what caused the disturbance, gracefully invited
| him to a seat in private box. Wholly una.
ware up to this time that he had been the cause
of the howl, he accepted the explanation Of the
manager good-naturedly, and rising to his feet,
| he turned to the audience and said: Ladies
and gentlemen, to convince you that was sit

DISCOVERED.

1t cannot be said whether it will be good
or bad news to the majority of the children
of men that hell has been located. We are
inclined to think that people would have
been better pleased If they could have gone
along as they have been going, believing
there is a hell but ignorant as to it's posi-
ton. The indehniteness has been some
what encouraging to certain class, inclin-
ing them to doubt the exis tence of any such
place as that referred to, and this doubt has
aided them in the work of dispelling in
somnia and has also helped them to keep
their heads erect when associating with
their fellows.
But the establishment has at last
been definitely located, Rev. A. A.
TAYLOR, d. D., of the Florida Afri.
can M. E. church, being the prospec.or
who has driven the stakes and put up
the location notice. Perhaps some, and
especially those who have been among the
doubters, will tremble slightly when we
inform them that hell Is only fifty-two
miles distant, just about as far as from
here to Provo, for instance; but when we
go farther with the explanation and say
that the fftytwo miles run straight down,
confidence will be restored. The Rev.
TAYLOR makes the matter perfectly plain,
establishing the identity of his discovery
with such accuracy that even the experts
will not attempt to swear him out of his
claim. Without going into all the details
we may explain generally that the gentle
man arrives at his conclusion by direct
route, thus: He'll is invariably re-
ferred to as being down, hence in
that direction we must look for it:
it is also spoken of as a lake of burning
birthstone, therefore it must be held with 4
bounds as any other lake. These two facts
being established to the good darkey's sat,
isfaction, he proceeds to make use of his
knowledge of mathematics and of geology
and by computation he learns that at 6
depth of ffty-two miles the earth is molter
fire, the assumption being that the burn
ing material is birthstone. Having made
plain both the existence and location of the
dreaded place the Rev. TAYLOR elaborates
somewhat making connections with he'll
through volcanoes, gas wells and so on, anG
intimates that the presiding genius of the
place Is liable at any time to make his ap
pearance through one of these apertures al
any time and claim his own: but as these
details might prove as annoying as inter,
esting it will perhaps be as we'll to pass
them by, at least until 1t can be ascer
tanned what the effect of the main discoy
cry will be upon mankind.

THE EXPERIMENTS of General DYREN-
FURTH to produce rain by the explosion of
chemicals taken to great height by bal
looms, are referred to by Uncle JERRY RUsK.
of the agricultural department, in his an
nual report to the President. Concealed in
a dry statement, he has a nice, little Juicy
piece Of humor. He says:
The preparation having been made, the e1.
periments were conducted on an extensive
scale during the past season in Texas. I have
every reason to believe that, so far as the pro.
duction of explosions is concerned, these ex-
periments were eminently successful. AS re-
CARDS the object thereof, namely, the production
OF rain, have no data yet at hand which would
justify me in expressing any conclusion on the
subject.

The Rev. G. A. TAYLOR, general agent
for the Florida African Methodist Episco-
pal conference, says: 81 have measured
the distance to hell scientifically, and find
that it is just fifty two miles straight down.
i can bottom hell with the Bible and sus-
tain it with science" BY the TAYLOR sur
veg, it would appear that, as related to the
balauce-we do not mean the rest-of the
earth, hell is terribly lop-s sided. II our
globe is $4,000 miles in circumference. the
diameter is S, 1888. Fifty two off. measuring
from Bre'r TArLoR's standpoint and we
have S,2Si miles and some odd furlongs of

think of. with SUNoL trotting in 2:ln

A DOCTOR in Joliet, H., double discounts
the bichloride of gold man in the treatment
of dipsomanis. He not only cures in one
day, without inconvenience, but makes the
very thought of liquor repulsive to his
patients. There is no "stabbing" process
in it. This makes alcoholism less trouble
some than corns. You just go to the doc
tors office and get restored while you wait.
We are afraid the method is too easy.
