Thanksgiving day was very generally
 observed in Bisbee yesterday. It is not
 probable there was any family in our
 midst who were without their turkey for
 dinner, unless they preferred some
 thing else. There are no very rich
 people in Bisbee, ,nor are there any very
 poor to whom acts of charity on Thanks

 there are no doubt kind acts unonten-
 tatiously performed among us every day
 equally as deserving of mention as the
 free distribution of material for a
 Thanksgiving dinner, which is noted

 A telegram from Honolulu, under date of Nov. l4th, is published in the San Francisco Chronicle announcing the arrival there of the sloop Volante, twen. ty-six days from San Francisco. The Volante is twenty-five feet long, with a nine-ioot beam. Her crew consists of Captain John Oliver and able seaman Allen Schanner, who say their cruise may extend to Guam or even Manila, heir object being solely adventure. The arrival of the little craft at Hono- uiu excited much interest there and is Ilso of interest in Bisbse, as both Oliver md Schanner are former residents of his place.
 The latest telegrams advise us of a l ,abinst meeting at Washington last light to consider advices received yes- erday from the American peace com nissioners at Paris. From the tenor of the telegram it would appear that ths Spanish commissioners had at the last lour submitted 10 the American com- nissioners counter proposition relative o the price to be paid by the United States to Spain for the Philippines and hat the president and cabinet had de. ided simply that former instructions to UT commissioners be reiterated. r. It often happens that the doctor is ut of town when most needed. Tho two year Id daughter of J. z. Schenc!S, of Caddo, Ind. CT, was threatened with croup. He writes: My wife insisted that go for tho doctor at nce but as he was out of town, purchased bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, lich relieved the child immediately" ottlc of that remedy in the house will often we the expense of n doctors bill, besitcc le anxiety always occasiuned by serious ckness. When it is given as soon as the ,ugh appears, it will prevent the attack. hou .ands of mothers always keep it in their Dmes. The 25 and 90 ccnt bottles for sale by le Bisbec Drug Store.
