THANKSGIVING TO-DAY.

Thanksgiving services will be held at nearly or quite all the churches in Bir- mingham today. Birmingham has a church-going population, and truly have we in this favored section cause to be thankful Such being the case, it goes without saying that today, set apart as a day to be spent in returning thanks, will be duly observed. Let us all bear in mind that today is a day on which we should feel happy, and that deeds per- formed which make others happy are the ones that bring true happiness to those performing them. Each of us by acting in accordance with this fact can make this the happiest day that this city has known, and at it's close we shall have still more for which to be thankful than we had when it dawned. To be thankful for blessings bestowed is to bestow at least a part of that with which we have been blessed upon our less fortunate fel- low beings.

Where It Leads to.

Memphis Commercial-Appea
 We said the other day that retiring the greenbacks would not, so far as we could see, have the slightest effect in stopping the export of gold; that 1t might to some extent relieve the treasury, but that it would give no relief to the coun- try; and that whether the gold for ex- port was supplied by the government out of it's vaults, or drawn direct from the channels of trade and commerce, it would be lost to the country just the same The Springfield (Mass) Republi- can. a gold standard independent paper and supporter of the administration, takes d like view. The Republican says:
 I've trust that neither President Cleveland nor Secretary Carlisle is de- ceiving himself in regard to the efficiency as a remedy of the proposed retirement of the greenbacks. That at best cannot stop the export of gold; it can only make the banks instead of the government the holders of the gold reserve and transfer the drain from the governments gold to the banks gold, which for the country would effect substantially the same re- suit This undeniably would greatly sim plify and oil the machinery of finance and would be a happy consummatlon But in itself it could not prove a remedy such as demanded.
 "Furthermore 1t would not destroy the so-called endless chain-unless indeed, we are prepared to say the silver certifi- cates and silver dollars are redeemable only in cheap money. If we are prepared to say this then we are prepared to de- fend the redemption of greenbacks in sil- yer and invite a fall to the silver basis. Are we ready for that? But if not then we must retire not only the greenbacks and sherman notes. but also the silver certificates and dollars, in order to break up the endless chain-nearly s1,0O0, 900 in all. no less than two-thirds of our &C., tive monetary circulation. Surely this is a project hardly to be considered as open to immediate execution"
 The logic of the argument employed by the gold standard people drives them 10 place silver dollars and silver certificates on the same footing with the greenbacks and treasury notes. They contend that the silver dollar Is equal 10 gold only be- cause it is indirectly made redeemable in gold. Indeed some of the leading gold organs have demanded that silver cer-

TWO GREAT RIVAL ARMIES.
Tremendous Sacrifices Which French ana

Tremendous Sacrifices Which French and
 German Nations Have Made.
 The knowledge that France would. fly at Germany's throat as soon as it seemed safe to do so has been a permanent fac tor in all international bargainings and controversies; the thought that some un- toward accident might precipitate the al- ways threatened conflict, even against the desires and best judgment of the combatants, has never ceased to haunt the imaginations of men, says the Satur- day Review. If this prolonged anxiety has ruined the nerves of onlookers, what must have been the tension upon the people directly concernedi Statistics af- ford some slight conception of the mate riafburdens which they have been forced to bear. When the war ended, for in stance, the Germans had 000O troops of all arms on French territory.
 Today the peace footing of the regular French army, without counting gen. darmerie or any reserves, actually ex- ceeds by 30,00O that total muster of the Germans at the time of their triumph. The present standing army of the Ger man empire, being formed on the theory of defensive force, is a trfle smaller It has only 585, 900 men under arms. These figures are too vast to convey realities to the mind. The fact may be made little clearer by saying the French and Ger man people together have now some 800,- 900 more professional fighting men in ac- tive service than they found 1t necessary to maintain before the war of 1S7O Yet this, too fails to give an adequate idea of the tremendous sacrifices which both nations have been compelled to make year after year throughout this weary quarter of a century

Gold is not only leaving this country, but has actually gone to premium. The United States government is now of fering to pay transportation both ways in order to get hold of some of the yellow
 metal A man in Birmingham who has $10,000 or a smaller amount, as for that, in gold is offered treasury notes or green backs for it by the treasury department at Washington, the department agreeing to pay expressage both ways. Alas. and unconditional repeal has driven gold to
 premium the very thing we were told it would prevent. Of course for this no one is really to blame. It was case of faulty iudgment.s

SNUFF-DlPPING.
The New Vice of Factory and Shop Girls Causes
 a Great Demand for the Article.

The popular belief has been that snuff dipping is confined almost entirely to the negroes and the poor whites" down south, but this oid-fashioned practice is indulged in to a remarkable extent in this section of the country, says the New York World. Within the past two or three years it has been taken upon by shop and factory girls, and there is hard ly manufacturing town in New York state or in the east where the dealers do not sell hundreds of pounds of dipping snuff weekly.
 The girls are using 1t now in preference to gum, and those that do not already know the trick are being taught it by their companions. The old-fashioned snuff that pleasurably affiliated the nos trils of our ancestors is going more and more out of use each year, and today seven-tenths of the snuff manufactured in America is snuff for dipping. Approxi- mately about 60,000,000 pounds come out of the mills each year. It is sold in little tin cans holding one ounce, or frequently a girl prefers to buy it in small paper packages, which she can carry around more easily. An ounce costs 5 cents. With some girls this quantity will hardly last more than a couple of days.
 The dipping process is simple one The old-fashioned method was to rub the gums with the powdered tobacco by iheaiS ol d SeiCh oI Soit Woou, WHooe Siiu had been chewed into a sort of brush, but the factory girl pours about half a tea spoonful on card or bit of paper, and, tipping this, shakes out the. snuff into her mouth against her closed teeth.
 The amount of the consumption can be judged best from the fact that one whole sale dealer in this city sends a barrel of dipping snuff weekly to a dealer in Troy. The collar and cuff girls of that city, it is said. have a large number of snuff dip pers among them. Fall River Mass, and Lynn are also strongholds of snuff dipping, and in fact this article finds cus- toners in every city and town along the Atlantic seaboard. The negro and poor white trade of the south Is compara- lively small factor nowadays. There are ten dipping snuff manufacturers in the country. the majority of them in New Jersey, though Baltimore has two or three and Philadelphia at least one.

A Mock Prince.

A dispatch to the Pail Mall Gazette from Rome gives an account of the trou- bles which led to the divorce suit brought by the Baroness Gina Sobrero against R. w. Wilcox, the Hawaiian revolutionary leader, who was sentenced to death in January of the present year, and whose sentence was afterwards commuted to thirty-five years imprisonment and a fine of S10,000. The baroness, who be- longs to distinguished family of Pied mont met Wilcox in Turin. to which city he had been sent by the Hawaiian government to study military tactics. He spent money freely and declared him self to be the heir to the throne of Hawaii. The marriage was celebrated with great pomp.
 The baroness later on accompanied her husband to Hawaii where she found that he was the son of a carpenter and a Kanaka woman. Finally, the baroness, after enduring much i'll treatment, re- turned to Italy. where she has succeeded in obtaining a divorce on the ground of mistaken Identity"

ALEXANDER DUMAS DEAD.
Rumor in Paris Says the Novelist Is N
 More.

More.
 It is rumored that Alexander Dumas, the novelist, is dead.
 Dumas, although 70 years of age, was still called the younger Dumas, to dis tinguish him from his father. Alexander Dumas was the natural son of the famous romancer and was born in that Paris he knew so we'll. The boy was educated in the Bourbon college and intended for the civil service, but the eompanionship of his fathers friends turned his mind to authorship He had no patrimony and the prodigal habits of his father threw him upon his own resources. His first work reflected the fathers style, and the young man determined upon no more inn itations. He decided to make his books reflect his experiences. At the age of 24 he wrote La Dame aux CameliaS," and it made his reputation. Its success was so great that he turned the story into a drama, now known as Camille" which furthered his fame and fortune. Since then he has written many novels and plays. Dumas became very prosper ous and leaves a comfortable home to his wife and children. He was once a fierce opponent of marriage but he fell in love with Polish lady of good rank and mar ried her, becoming very fond of his home and children. Owing to his cold manner he was not generally liked, but he was nevertheless generous and a man of great talent, original ideas and unflinch- ing purposes.

The Sultan's Appeal. Ar Il

One of the most remarkable episodes in diplomatic history is told in the Her aids dispatch published this morning It is the letter of the sultan of Turkey to Lord Salisbury in which the ruler of the Ottoman empire complains to the British premier of the injustice done him in the latter's speech at Guildhall on Saturday last. --.t
 'I repeat" says the sultan, that I will execute the reforms. I will see that every article is put in force. This is my earnest determination, and I give my word of honor. I wish Lord Salisbury to know this and I beg and desire his lordship to make another speech by virtue of the friendly feeling and disposition he has for me and my country"
 It is a straightforward and manly ap- peal, and is so greeted by the English press. The letter will probably turn the course of events in the east.
