Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Praise and thanksgiving to God as
required by his word is the daily duty OF
all individuals, and as a commonwealth
it is but fit and proper that we should on
stated occasions, as a people, render unto
him, the great ruler Of the universe, our
united praise and thanksgiving for the
many blessings and mercies we daily
receive at his hands.
To him we owe our civil institutions
and our religious liberty which bring
happiness and numberless blessings alike
to the rich and poor. The people of oul
state have much to be thankful for. The
earth has yielded up her treasures with
a bounteous hand and peace, prosperity
and happiness prevail within our borders
Now, therefore, that public acknowl-
edgement of our trust in and gratitude
to Almighty God for His great goodness
to US as a state and people may be made,
I, Thomas n. Holt, Governor of North
Carolina, do hereby appoint Thursday,
the Goth day Of November, 1891, as a day
Of general thanksgiving and praise, and
| earnestly request the people of the state
to assemble on that day, at their usual
places of worship, and offer up their
thanks for the innumerable blessings and
great prosperity we enjoy.
And at the same time let Us remember
the widow and the orphan, the disabled
soldier, the poor and afflicted in our
prayers, and contribute of our substance
to those institutions which our people
have established for their maintenance
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused to be aft the
great seal of the State of North Carolina,
at the City of Raleigh, this the 10th day
of November, in the year of our Lord,
one thousand eight hundred and ninety
one, and in the one hundred and sixteenth
year Of our American independence.
THOMAS II. HOLT.
BY the Governors:

THERE Is YET CAUSE.

We have news from Connecticut that
many Of the people Of that state will not
be able to give thanks on the day set
apart for that purpose by GOVERNOR
BUCKLEY's proclamation, for the reason
that they are in doubt as to whether he
it the legal governor. When conscience
is applied t. politics we see remarkable
results.-New York Morning Advertiser.
A little thing like that should make no
difference in Connecticut. Those enter
prising and successful people should
shout and howl and return thanks
and bless the Lord q time or two
because they have never been arrested
for making wooden nutmegs and wooden
hams. That prolific country has more
cause to be thankful than any spot on
the broad and fiat earth'S surface-and
they have ingenuity enough to get along
without a governor.
They are hummers, up yander and if
they refuse to be thankful-Well, that
should settle it.
THE Chicago anarchists are probably
right il imagining That their principles
will not be generally assentcd to for
about 20, 900 years.

THE New York Morning Advertiser
has the most novel scheme yet put up by
a newspaper. It is that the legal heir or
next of kin Of any person accidentally
killed while having upon his or her per-
son a copy of the Ne Y York Advertiser
of current date will receive $500 by pre-
senting satisfactory proofs of claim at
the business office of the paper. If this
is not the best thing in the way of insur-
ance, then other schemes have failed to
reach this office. 1t goes without saying,
too, that the insurance feature will give
the Morning Advertiser the largest circu-
lation of any paper in that great city.

CALLED BY THE ANGELS.
''Fsther" Came and Bsckoned Her to
Join the Angelic Host.

JON the AnRCllC HOST.
A few years ago an aged couple
lived in quiet home on Washington
boulevard. near Union Park, says the
Chicago Herald. Their married life
covered more than three score years
They were especially devoted to each
other and advancing years seemed to
clasp the bonds of early love closer
and closer. They were people OF
much refinement and culture. At
length the old gentleman passed peace
fully and hopefully away. The widow
survived and seemed to live in the
same close companionship that had
made beautiful all their married life.
The spirit side of life was toward her
and the curtain SO thin she could catch
glimpses Of the beautiful life beyond.
Her ninetieth birthday was near. The
natural forces were yielding and her
friends knew the supreme moment was
only little way off, Her mind re-
tanned all its strength and clearness
and when thoughts of tho future came
with especial force there seemed q
spiritual illumination that caught its
tints from the border land. One morn
ing she said to her daughter: Frances,
am weary lying in bed. believe it
would rest me to sit up o little
while" Her daughter assisted
her to arise. and bolstered her
up in the rocking chair and made
her as comfortable as possible. She
had been there q little while when she
said: Frances. father is here" She
always called her husband father
Her daughter said: mo. mother,
father Is not here. You must have
been dreaming" mo, Frances, I did
not dream it; father Is here. Don't
you see him? He is standing at the
foot of the bed" The daughter said
something hoping to quiet her, but 1t
did not avail. Don't you see him.
Frances? He is reckoning to me-"
The old lady then became quiet and
seemed to be resting. Pretty soon she
started up and said with much emotion:
Frances, do you hear the music?"
"Oh! no. mother. l don't hear any
music" Cant you. Frances? 1t is
beautiful-beautiful." After short
pause she said ''Hark. Frances. It
is coming Observation-Disclosures
full" Frances went to the door to see
if there was any music on the street.
but there was none. When she re-
turned her m other was with the an

The ConJurer's Unriveled Trick Which
Is Yet Unexplained.
Inns tell the family Of the curious
OF remarkable conjuring trick saw
performed while on voyage from
London to Calcutta. The conjuror
was Parsee, whom you might have
taken for respectable servant out OF
place, but who actually was a land
owner travelling for pleasure. who had
taken up conjuring rs an amusement.
Spreading q white cloth on the deck OF
the steamer, he sat down with his
back against the companinn hatch.
As soon as he had settled himself, he
turned to one of our fellow voyagers
and asked for the loan of rupee,
which he requested should be given to
one of the ladies present. The lady
took it. and, at the request OF the con-
jurer, looked Mt it and declared it to
be real rupee. The performer then
told the lady to hand it back to the
gentleman OF whom he had borrowed
it. The gentleman took it and then
the following dialogue ensued:
Conjurer: Are you sure that is a
rupee?
Fellow-voyager: Yes.
Conjurer: Close your hand upon it
and hold it tight. Now think of some
country in Europe, but do not tell me
your thoughts.
After a moments pause the gentle
,v1, hn
had thought of a country.
Then open your hand" said the
juggler; '.see what you have and tell
me if it is not coin OF the country you
thought Of"
Strangely enough it was 5-franc
piece, and our friend admitted that he
had thought of France. He was on
the point Of handing the coin to the
conjurer for inspection, when the lat
ter said: mo pass it to another. "
AS l happened to be the nearest, the
5-franc piece was handed to me. l
looked closely at it. carefully eXamin-
ing both sides. until l was satisfied
that it was coin of the realm OF
France even though it had been r,l-
pee but few minutes before. Then.
tightly clutching it in my hand
thought of America. When l had re-
Taxed my grasp found that I had a
Mexican dollar in my hand. This l
handed to a gentleman on my right
who. in turn, thought of Russia, and
opening his hand. found Russian sill
yer piece in place of the Mexican dol
lar.
The juggIer performed several other
tricks during the voyage, but they
were of commonplace kind. and in
no way comparable to the coin trick
which I have never seen rivalled or
explained. st. Louis Republic.

In Turkey prisons the Mussulmans

former, grave and gentlemanlike-

most of the day smoking; and they
perform frequent additions at tho

open the prison doors for them. The
