Mr.. Coyote lives on what he can catch

Thanksgiving proclamation:
To the People of the State of Michigan:
In accordance with a custom honored In
its observance, hereby designate Thurs
day, November Goth, as day OF thanks
giving
Upon that day let all secular business be
laid aside, and the day be devoted TO exer-
else and recreation suitable to the occasion.
Religious and political differences Of opinion
should be forgotten, and as citizens of a
common country, alike interested in up
holding its honor and maintaining Its laws,
let us assemble in our houses of worship
and in grateful recognition of the manifold
blessings Providence has shOwered upon
US, reverently thank God for the peace and
prosperity which have fallen to our lot.
The poor and unfortunate should not be
forgotten, and acts of kindness done to
those who do not share in the abundance
which has blessed us as people, will prove
that it is indeed more blessed to give than
to receive, and make more joyous the reun-
Ion about the family hearthstODes.

SALUTED By THE ENEMY.
A Queer Bit of Courtesy From the Con
federates at Chattanooga.

n
federates at Chattanooga.
AS soon as communication had been
opened with our base of supplies, General
Grant manifested an eagerness to acquaint
himself minutely with the position of the
enemy, with a view to taking the Often
sive. One morning he started toward our
right with several staff officers, to make a
personal examination Of that portion Of
the line. When he came in sight of Chat
tanooga creek, which separated our pockets
from those of the enemy, he directed those
who had accompanied him to halt and re-
main out of sight while he advanced alone,
which he supposed he could do without at
tracing much attention.
The pickets were within hailing distance
of one another on opposite banks of the
creek. They had established a temporary
truce on their own responsibility, and the
men of each army were allowed TO get wa
ter from the same stream without being
fired upon by those on the other side. A
sentinel of our picket guard recognized
General Grant as he approached, and gave
the customary cry, "Turn out the guard
commanding generalr' The enemy on
the opposite side OF the creek evidently
heard the words, and one of his sentinels
cried out, "1urn out the guard-General
Grantp' The Confederate guard took up
the joke and promptly formed, facing our
line, and presented arms. The general
returned the salute by lifting his hat, the
guard was then dismissed, and he con-
tinued his ride toward our left. We knew
that we were engaged in a civil war, but
such civility largely exceeded our expecta-
tions. Campaigning With Grant," by
