The closing scenes of most eventful
year bring with them the appropriate
time to offer unto Divine Providence the
tribute of our thanksgiving and praise.
If, therefore, such times have been OBJ
served, in anywise, in obedience to the
demands of custom, rather than as q
grateful offering to God, the signal mer-
cies and kindness we have, as a nation,
been made the recipients of during the
present year, should surely awaken US
to newer and fuller realizatioa than
eversof the reverence and gratitp' due
10 Him who holdeth the destinies Of Ma
tions in His hands.


Our long and bloody civil war is end
ed, and peace again smiles upon the
land; and the end shows that God has
been with US, giving victories to our ar
mics, and guiding the councils of the
nation.


Our harvests have been plenteous, and
the rewards of every branch of labor
and industry have been ample Neither
famine nor pestilence have been known
in our borders, and although we are call
ed upon to lament the death of many
Of our brave soldiers, who have given
their lives as sacrifice for their coun-
try, yet the return of so many thousands
to their homes from bloody fields, made
illustrious by their valor, is source of
joy to ALL The future is full of hope for
the enduring peace and prosperity of the
State, and illimitable prospects for Ma
tional progress, power and glory, are
spread out before us.


In view of these many blessings, and
in compliance not only with custom,
but the convictions of duty, do hereby
appoint Thursday, the 7th of December
next, as q day Of Thanksgiving and
prayer to Almighty God for his mercies,
and earnestly recommend to the people
of Indiana, that laying aside their ordi-
nary ayocations, they assemble them
selves together in their usual places of
worship, and observe that day in the
manner designated, bringing to God the
incense of grateful hearts, and not for
getting to share their abundance with
the poor and needy around them.


In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand at the Executive Chamber
in indianapolis, this 18th day of Novem.

ATTEMPTED SUIoIDE.-Henry Henck,
q discharged soldier of the lst Kansas
Infantry, attempted to take his life last
night between Eve and six o'clock, at
the corner OF Sixth and Chestnut streets.
He drew a small dagger and plunged it
into his left breast, the blade striking q
rib and glanced off. Raising the weap-
on and was about to strike again, when
a gentleman passing by knocked him
down, and officer Armstrong, who is
generally found when wanted, came up
and conveyed the desperate man to the
calaboose The cause of Henck's de-
sire to take his leave of this breathing
world, is said to be some difficulty he
had with a woman with a waterfall.
Disappointed love drove him to liquor,
LIQUOR drove him to the dagger, and
Armstrong drove him to the celaboose.

Senator Wigfall, who has been pursu-
ing very extraordinary and very repre-
hensible course during the whole of the
present session of Congress, seemed in
spired, in his speech OF Tuesday night,
by desire to surpass all his previous of
fences against the public interests. His
speech was violent, unpatIiotic, and CEN
surable in the highest degree; devoted to
the advocacy OF extreme fancies, and to
the abuse Of those who stand infinitely
higher than he in the public confidence
He denounced the Virginia Legislature
as "a one horse concern" (where were
our Senators that they had no word of
rebukel) denounced the press, poured
ont his bitterness upon the President,
and demanded that he and the Vice
President should resign.


There is, perhaps, not patriot IN the
land who will not think that Mr. Wigfall
should himself take the advice he gives,
and resign his seat in the Senate. Had
he done so at the beginning OF the ses-
sion, great deal of time would have
been saved to that body, which has been
far worse than wasted. One of the last
speeches which the writer heard IN the
old United States Senate was from Mr..
Wigfall, in which he deted the North
and almost invited them to the battle

should indeed come, to see him pursue
the course which has made his further
service during the session now about to
close. au evil and Il curse to his country.
Would that he would take pattern from
that patriotic body Of men who represent
the sentiment and the manliness OF Vlr-
ginia, but whom he thinks it allowable
to refer to with words of insult Wonld
that he would support, as he ought to do
the efforts of that eminent patriot and
pure and faithful public officer, whom
the people, with Il unanimous choice,
called to the chief magistracy


We trust that the people and Leglsla-
ture of Texas are not unobservant OF the
freaks of their Senator; and If he nolth-
er resigns nor mends his ways they will,

cause. and to the sister States. relieve
him at the earliest moment Of the trust
which he so lily discharges.

The Grecian nose, models of which
are preserved in ancient stathary, is con-
sidered the highest type of nasal beauty.
The Roman nose is another type which
is indicative of firmness and good sense.
There are pug noses, and noses in the air,
supercilious noses, earnest noses, noses
out OF joint and noses thrust where they
do not belong. Pug noses are very hand
some. Noses in the air tell that their
possessors are on the lookout for the main
chance they indicate that they are of
an iDquiring state Of mind. and scent "a
bargain, us the horse does u battle, from
afar. Supercilious noses are the peculiar
property Of those who smell acutely. Fine
women are frequently the owners OF this
fortunate feature. These are the
ladies who expect to monopolize
the best seats in the street cars, and look
superciliously and turn up their super
cilious noses if any unusual jam causes
the exquisite symmetry of their belong
ings to be iniringed upon. They accept
the seat of u weary man without the
most distant recognition OF the courtesy.
They smell Il mechanic block removed,
patronze the opera, and when they can
afford it ride i'll carriage. There are
men with superciious noses, but contact
with the world usually takes the quality
they represent out of them. Earnest
noses belong to earnest men and women,
who despise the frvolities of life, and
make existence a serious matter. They
are intelligent and active, and in whatev-
er they engage-business, politics, or re-
ligion-they work with their whole soul.
The great workers are earnest men. and
rejoice in earnest noses; most women
and some men are 50 distinguished. A
slight nose is no unpleasant ieauture, but
if large amounts to deformity. A turn
up nose in Il woman indicates good nature
as thin straight nose indicates the vixen.
Those who thrust their noses into matters
which do not concern them, constitute
great portion Of what is called society
No sex, class or profession is exempt
from their impertinence. These are the
persons who peep behind muslin curtains,
to see if Mrs. Blank is not receiving Wis

wonder where DR.. Brown will get new

The following is a full report of Ma

ron, Tuesday, August 18th:


| FELLOw-CITIZENs AND NEIGHBoRs.
Nearly four years and a half ago
parted from you at the cOuntry's call,


to become q soldier Of the Union in


the terrible conflict which was 20 de-


tcrmine whether American Repubi-


canism was u success or failure on


this continent; whether the Federal
Government had the power of self
/ preservation and the right to defend
its existence, or was Il loose compact


to be broken whenever minOrities


might seek in secession 4 remedy for
defeat at the polls. My last civil duty


was to deny, as your representative,
the right of rebels to dissolve the


Union, and TO urge upon the Ohio
Legislature the duty Of uphOlding the
Government by arms.


Today we resume in some degree
our civil relations, by comforting
together upon the present condition
Of the country, and discussing some
of the questions Of Importance press
ing upon us for settlement


When we parted, ii was in the great
agony of our first realization that
civil war was upon US, rearing its
hOrrld front here in our own land.
where we had believed that our re-
publican institutions gave US perpetu-
al immunity from the cOnvulsiols
which, from time to time, have shaken
the communities Of the old world. We
meet again in triumph; the foes of
the Union have been vanquished the
rights OF the Government have been |
vindicated and the banner Of the re-
belliOn, which was lately Haunting in /
our faces on a hundred battle-felds, is |
now seen only whore it hangs in our .
national halls as q trophy of victory. /


Between that parting and this
meeting there is an awful interval, full +
of mingled hope and gloom, rejoicing
and mourning, for those who were at
home, though faith in the ultimate
triumph Of the right Iin this case en-
"the evidence of things not
seen, kept the hearts Of the loyal
people from sinking, while for those
who were in the field it was full of
eXcitements, tolls and strifes, that
made the burdens of the contest light
er after all than for those who watch
ed and waited at home. ]

1t is a strange thing how little, in general
people know about the sky. 1t is the part
of creation in which nature has done more
for the sake of pleasing man, more for the
sole and evident purpose Of talking to him
and teaching him; than in any of her works,
and it is just the part in which we least at
tend to her. There are not many of her
works in which some more material or essen
tal purpose than the mere pleasing of man
is not answered in every part of their organ
lzati0n, but every essential purpose of the
sky might, as far as we know be answered,
il once in three days, or thereabout, great
black ugly rain cloud were broken up over
the blue, and every thing well watered, and
all left blue again, until the next time, with
perhaps film of morning and evening mist
for dew. But instead of this, there is not
II moment in any day of our lives when ma
tue is not producing scene after scene, pic
turc after picture, glory after glory, and
working still upon such exquisite and con
slant princip les of the most perfect beauty,
that It is quite certain it is all done for US,
intended for our perpetual pleasure by the
Great Being who made all worlds.

1t takes all sorts of characters, says the
late Professor Wilson, to complete this
great world drama and somebody must act
them. In other words, believe that eve
ry man was made ESPECIALLY for that place
1t is only by carestly filing that he fulflls
his destiny, and answers the ends for which
God created him. Confusion and disap-
pointment only arises from our efforts to
get into some other place than the one for
which we are intended. The change of our
choice is limited by the character God has
given to us, and the circumstances by which
he hath surrounded us, and which have
modified that character, and developed those
faculties, Each man is created with certain
possibilities which determined the direction
he must go, and the height to which he
may rise. We need not therefore, remain
in doubt. Our path is so plainly marked
out for us, that we need not seek long fol
it, if We have willing hads to do it.
