THANKSGIVING DAY.
Thursday, November -, ~ . Day
Of Thanksgiving.

Washington, Oct. 29.-The presidents
after the cabinet meeting issued tbs
following Thanksgiving proclamar
ton:
The approaching November brings to
mind the customs OF our ancestors, nat-
lowed by time n rooted In our most sS-
cred traditions, Of giving thanks TO Al
mighty God for all the blessings He has
y~ouchsafed to US during the past year.
Few years in our history have Afforded
such cause for thanksgiving. We have
been blessed by abundant harvests. our
trade and m have been wonder-
fully increased, our public credit mas
been improved and strengthened, all sec
brought together and knitted into closer
bond of national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for a time darkened
by the cloud of war, but as we were COM
PEELED to take up the sword In the cause
of humanity, we are permitted to rejoice
that the conflict has been of brief dura-
ton, and the losses we have had to MOURN,
though grievous and important, have
been so few, considering the great results
accomplished, as to inspire US with grat1-
tude and praise to the Lord Of hosts. We
may laud and magnify His holy name
that the cessation of hostilities came so
soon as to spare both sides the countless
sorrows and disasters that attend pro-
tracted war.
1 do, therefore, invite all my fellow-citi-
gens, as well those at home as those who
may be at sea or sojourning in foreign
lands, to set apart and observe Thursday,
the twenty-fourth day of November, to
come together in their several places OF
worship, for a service of praise and
thanksgiving to Almighty God for all the
blessings Of the year.; for the mildness OF
the seasons and the fruitfulness of the
soil; for the continued prosperity OF the
people; for the devotion and valor of our
countrymen; for the glory of our victory.
and hope of a righteous peace: and to
pray that the Divine guidance which has
brought US heretofore to safety and hon.
or, may be graciously continued in the
years to come.

IF HAD KNOWN,

If 1 had known the woes to COM to me,
II l had dreamed how sad life was to be,
How often / shout weep and sigh alone,
II 1 had thought Of dark and desolate
time
I'd ne'er have longed for manhood's
glorious prime,
II I had known.
If 1 had known how fate would deal with

How oft in dreams my cottage home I'd

The Towering vines around its windows

I'd ne'er have scorned the sunshine on
it's floor,
Nor turned with willing feet from its
low door,
If 1 had known.
If / had known how 1 would miss the song
The birds sang by my window all day long,
The brook that, singing, rippled round a
stone,
I'd ne'er have left the sounds UNDECIDED

How sweet their music to my ears had
been.
If l had known.
If l had known how I would miss the face,
Sweet smiling in its old accustomed place,
The patient light that in those dear eyes
shone,
I'd ne'er have touched that face with
panied surprise.
Nor brought the tears into those tender
eyes.

GEN. WOOD WILL STICK IT OUT.
He Wanted q Leave of Absence, But Has
Now Made Up His Mind to Re-
main in Santiago.

Washington, Nov. "A few months
ago Gen. Wood, in command of the
city of Santiago, iptimated to the Sec
rotary of war that he would like to
come home on a leave of absence, but
in view of the fact that Gen. Lawton
has turned over the command of the
department of Santiago to Gen. Wood,
and has been assigned to a division
command in the United States, it will
be impossible for Gen. Wood to return
to this country at present. Gen. Wood
has made up his mind to remain in
Santiago. has taken a house there and
Mrs. Wood and children will sail for
Santiago a week hence.

BROKE HIS BONES ON AUG. 76.
The Remarkable Series of
Which Regularly Befell an
English Collier.

AS might naturally be expectedfron
his hazardous occupation, the collier
is frequently injured by accidents I'M
foreground, but the following par
ticulars, deserve, l think, a space in
the Lancet because of the strange Sc
ries of fractures sustained by a man,
as well as the remarkable coincidence
in the date of their occurrence.
A nan aged A years, short and well
built, was first attended by me on
August &c, 1890, for a compound frac-
ture of the left leg, resulting from a
portion of the roof or top falling and
striking him while following his en-
ployment in Risca collieries. The pa
tient made an uninterrupted recov-
cry, and was able in about six months
to resume his work underground.
The patients previous history, told
by himself, and corroborated by 9th
ers, is very remarkable. With the eX-
ception of an attack Of typhoid fever,
which he had when Is years of age,
and two or three attacks of quinsy
subsequently, he had not suffered bod
ily in any way. He was always very
temperate, and for about IS years a
total abstainer. But his misfortunes
in the mine were many and are re-
markable from the fact that they al
ways happened on the Goth day of
August. Here is his record. At the
age of ten years he fractured his right
index finger. 1t happened on August
&c. When IS years old he fractured
his left leg below the knee through
falling from horseback, also August
20. At IA years of age he fractured
both bones of the left forearm by
stumbling, his arm striking the edge
of a brick, August &c. In another year,
on August &c, when Is years of age,
he had compound fracture of the left
leg above the ankle by his foot being
caught under an iron rod and his body
falling forward. Next year, again on
the same date, August &c, he had COM
pound fracture of both legs, the right
being so severely crushed that it had
to be amputated at the lower third
of the thigh. This was caused by a
horse, hitched to a tram of coal, which,
running wild under ground, caught
him in 4 narrow passage, crushing
both legs severely. After this he did
not work on August 26 for % years.
and little wonder, but in the year 1890
he forgot his fateful day and went to
work, with the result that he sus-
tanned the compound fracture which
1 have mentioned in the beginning.
After this he has studiously avoided
working on August &c, though never
missing work at other times.-London

Gold Coin, in the World.

1t will probably be a shock to many
to learn that all the gold coins current
throughout the world could be COM
fortably slowed away in any one OF
thousands of English draw!ng-rooms.
A careful estimate of the gold currency
ofthe world placedits amount at e755,-
600, 900. Although this enormous sum
will probably exceed our entire nation
al revenue for the next seven years, 1t
could, if converted into English sover-
eigns, be placed in a room % feetlong,
20 feet wide and 20 feet high. The proc
ess of packing the sovereigns would,
indeed, be a labor of time and Infinite
patience. If the sovereigns were placed
in position at the rate of one a second,
working for eight hours a day, a child
of eight, commencing the task to-day,
would see his eightieth birthday be-
fore the last sovereign was in position
and the door could be locked. To con-
vey this gold to the strong would
require the utmost strength of 1000
horses, which would have to pull a
weight of 1881 tons. The sovereigns
thus accumulated would make a golden
carpet for the whole of St. James park,
with a remnant of 3 2-3 acres to spare;
and, if placed edge to edge, they would
form a footpath of gold, six inches wide,
between London and Constantinople.-
