Thanksgiving day was very generally
observed in Custer. Union services
were held at the Congregational church,
where Rev. DIewett preached an able
and appropriate sermon, which was
heard and appreciated by a large con-
gregation. The business houses were
closed during the greater portion of the
day, and evidences were rife
upon all sides OF the advancing trend
Of civilization. which in this city has
reached a standard that will safely bear
comparison with the older and more
populous communities of the cast. The

How q Mau Goes 10 Sleep,

"Order is Heavens first law"
and the old truth in manifested
even in the process of going to
sleep. When q man drops off TO
sleep, Lis body does not do so at
once. SO to speak. Come senses
become dormant before others,
and always in the same order.
AS he: becomes nrowsy, the eyes
close, and the sense of seeing in
at rest. 1t is quickly followed
by the disappearance of thesense
of taste. He next losses the
sense OF smell, and then after a
short interval the tympanum be-
comes insensible to sound, or ra-
ther the nerves which run to the
brain from it fail to arouse any
sense OF hearing. The last sense
to leave is that of touch, and in
some representative people it is
hardly ever dormant. Even in
their case, however, there is no
discriminating power or sense of
what touched them. This sense
ia also the first to return upon
awakening. Then hearing fol-
lows suit; after that taste, and
then the eye becomes able to
fash impression back to the
brain. The sense of smell, oddly
enough, though it isby no means
the first to go, is thelas toc,nne
back.
The same gradual loss of pow
er is observed in the muscles and
sinews, as well as in the senses.
Slumber begins at the feet, and
slowly spreads up the limbs ana
trunk until it reaches the brain.
Ehen Inconsistencies is CON-
plete, and the whole body is at
rest. This is why sleep is impos-
sible when the feet are cold.-

North CarOlina's Shame.

Sometimes the political sins
of the people Of a State are
rewarded with surprising
proInptnesS. This truth has
been exenpIifi-n in a start
ling way in North Carolina
where a fusion of sOrehpads,
incornpetents and and politi-
cal lunatics has led to confu-
sion and share. How the
good people of the good Old
North State ever consented
to allow a mixed mob to Sc
lpct such men az their pres
ent Representative" in the
Legislature, is a mystery un-
less it be explained, as too
many such cases are, on the
ground that the genuine
North Carolinians forgot the
dignity and responsibilities OF
their citizenship and failed in
their duty to the honorable
traditions and history of the
people ofthat great common
wealth. But i'm politics as in
morals, the evil that men DO
perseveres, and recent incl
dents in the State house ut
Raleigh are at once O. testi-
mony to the peoples abase-
mnnt and a punishment of
their lapse from political vir-
tne.-,StauntOD (Ka.) Pro-

Tie Ttate's Shame.

The action of the Leglsla-
ture in adiourning in honor
of a negro miscpgnationist
has shocked the outside
world. North and South,
the outrage upon the de-
rency of the State is CON
demned in the strongest
terms. Oh! for an election
tomorrow! II ow quickly
the State would redeem her
sell. But time will bring its

The Worship Of the Negro.

This in the man whom the
North Carolina legislators
delight to honor to everlas-
ting disgrace IN the eyes of
every decent man III the
South. They see their error
now, and are making various
excuses for their action, say
ing that II large number of
members were absent when
the question was voted on,
and that the white Popu.
lists were forced to vote as
they did to keep their negro
allies. No excuse will answer.
The honor to Fred. Donglas
was not because of any pub
lie services he had rendered.
for he had rendered nona-
hut simply beca use he was q
negro. 1t il the worship OF
the negro, introduced by the
Populists OF North Carolina
for their political advantage.
something the negroes them
selves would not have dared
in the days of reconstruction
supremacy.
We hope to see in every city
where any North CaroIinian
lives a protest go up against
this insult that will act "the
Old North State" "and it's, peo
pie rightbpfOre tho world, as
believers in whire as against
kiongo civilization, as holding
up AS models to- the Young
men of to day Washington

Yes, Give Her q Pension.

The remains of Fred Doug.
las were inferred at ROches-
ter, N. Y, yesterday. The
reason for the int.rment in
Rochester was because no
distinction on account Of
color is made in the ceme-
tary there. The Charlotte
Observer suggests that yes
terdny being the day of
Fred's funeral, it presented
another good opportunity
for the North Carolina Leg
islatu"e to adjourn in his
honor. The Landmark sug-
gests, in view OF the Legisla-
ture's refusing to make an
appropriation to tie Confed-
crate monument. that it
would be in keeping with it's
recent action tn vote an ap-
preparation fol a monument
to Fred; also that they a.
dopt resolutions ofsympathy

iously dencunces as false the
statement teleeraphed from
Raleigh that the Fusion Leg
islature, which adjourned in
honor of Fred. Douglass, re-
fused to adjourn ON General
Lees birthday and Wash
ington's birthday.
That is a small matter, and
the question at issue can be
easily settled ny the records
of the Legislature. but wheth
er the house refused to honor
Lees and Washington's
memory or not, the fact il,
that same house did, on a
motion by a negro from
Granville county, vote to 8d-
journ in honor of Fred.
Douglass, thereby making a
hero of the dead misceyna-
zionist.
The Caucasian does not de-
ny this fact, which is enough
to damn the Populists in

Progressive Farmer: The
Legislature has been trying
to dispose of the Public
Printing by letting it to the
lowest bidder, but the COM
mittee can't decide who is the
lowest bidder. We think the
whole thing is a mistake. 1t
will never result satisfactor-
lily until it is done by electing
Il Public Printer, making him
an officer, to be elected by
the Legislature or by popu-
lar vote. But We are not
criticizing harshly. I lie
members Doubtless thought
they were disposing of it in
the best way. The chances
are that the printing will go
to a Democratic firm under
present arrangements. If SO
the dominant parties must
take their medicine like little
men. The lowest bidder is
entitled to it, and we cannot
approve any plan to keep
them out of it.
