THE CHEROKEES.
The Trouble with the Nqimttrrs on the i:hero
Iwfl Neutral Limits-The Present Mt nation of
Allnlra.
The Washington Intclliuenctr of Novemiier lo gives
Die following Interesting particulars of the Cherokee
ian" difficulty :
The squabbles of Mr. Joy with the squatters In
Kansas have not diminished In bitterness with the
sending of the militury there. News reaches ns from
time to time of outruns and conflicts between the
civil authorities ami these frontiersmen, which the
presence of a few companies of cavalry s totally In
adequate to suppress. In connection with tins mat
ter a silent Rkt'tch of the history of the Imbroglio
may prove Intercstl tig to our reail en.
Jt seems, then, that In 1835 the Cherokee nation,
in removing to the lands they now oocnpy, wore ap
prehensive that they would not prove sulllclently
extensive for their wauts.and purchased under treaty
from the Government, sauctloned by the United
States Senate, mio.ooh acres of land In Kansas, for
which they paid J5io,ooo In gold. In ante-bellum
times they remained In undisturbed possession of
these laud's, (ut on the breaking out of the lute war
the tribe became divided, one portion going South
and tlte other remaining on the ground. Up to that
time no whites had settled on the so-termed neutral
lands, liut In lww they found white squatter
sprinkled over the territory, and made an additional
treaty with the Government, In which It was agreed
that the State of Katmiis should have Jurisdiction
over them, and they also executed a trust to the
Government to sell the lands at a price not less than
1 per acre, cash. Under that treaty Secretary Hnr
lii ii Bold the lands to a Connecticut emigration
Boclety, receiving S'25.000 In cash and arranging for
the deferred payments.
W hen Mr. Iiiownlng became Secretary of the In
terier he set aside this sale as being contrary to the
terms of the treaty. This left the trust in full force.
Another stipulation In the treaty of lsGdwas to the
effect that where any whites had squatted on the
lands up to that time, they might have the prlvilego
of purchasing not exceeding one hundred and sixty
acres each, at a price to be appraised by a commis
sion to be appointed for that purpose. Under this
stipulation some eleven thousand whites then there
purchased 163,0 acres. (The present trouble Is not
with these original squatters.) The remaining
43,000 acres were then sold by Mr. Browning to Mr.
.loy, a prominent Western railroad lawyer and
manager. He paid down the sum of $70,000 on the
purchase, and has since made several payments.
Mr. Cox, the present Secretary, has affirmed the
sale to Joy; but, la the meantime,
niacy other whites have squatted on the
lauds, and they are the troublesome customers
wlromMr. Joy Is trying to dispossess. They have
made themselves strong by secret combination, and
a number of lives have already been sacrificed on
account of the quarrel up to the present time. These
illegal settlers are trying to keep up the tight to get
the Government to Interfere by legislation or other
wise giving them pre-emption claims to the lands
they have improved. Mr. Joy Is now engaged in
building the great "Missouri Hiver, Fort Scott, and
Gulf" railroad, which has Its terminus at Gulveston,
Texas, and in its course passes over these lands,
and is obstructed on all hands by these troublesome
people. The airalr is now threatened with a new
complication by recent movements of the Cherokees,
who begin to be anxious as to the Unal issue. Mr.
Joy's legal agent Is In town in his Interest, endeavor
ing to secure bis client In undisputed possession of
h:n purchase.
THE GRAVE.
A Ghnstly Ounrrel Pittsburg Wants to Tcnr
Out One of Her Cemeteries.
We find these particulars of a singular dispute In
the Pittsburg Chronicle of November 15:
The graveyard quarrel has recommenced. Every
body thought, that peace had come at last to the
much vexed Methodist graveyard of the Eleventh
ward. It was a mistake. Another meeting was held
last evening at the Second ward School House, on
Jtoss street, and this meeting proved conclusively
that the peace believed in was uot to be longer hoped
for. The attendance was large, coiuprisiug, among
others, several widowed ladles. .
Captain Andrew Miller, Chairman of the Commit
tee, presented a verbal report. He said that since
the last meeting of the lot owners the committee had
had an interview with two of the Commissioners. The
propositions submitted to the lot owners from the
Commissioners had been agreed upon as the basis of
a compromise. He, in company with one of the
Commissioners, had visited the oltlce of Mr. White,
attorney lor the Commissioners, for tho purpose of
having the agreement put. In writing, aud at the sug
gestion of Mr. White, the Commissioner backed
down from the agreement, so t hat the mattemow
stands as It was before the compromise.
Wr.;Whlte said he held that the reputed lot own
ers had no title to the ground, aud that they would
' Und the Supreme Court would sustain him.
The Commissioners had submitted several other
propositions, but they were so mean tiiat he had
told i hem he would not offer them to the meeting of
Jot-holders.
The only one of these propositions that he would
report was as fol'ows : They propose that each lot
owner purchase a lot In some other burylng-grouud
and remove the remains of their dead Interred in
the old travevard, and they (the Commissioners) wlli
pay the actual cost of removing the dead, providing
the price for such work does not exceed the sum o
twenty dollars. After the dead are all removed and
the ground cleared away, they will pay each lot
owner the sum of ten dollars, the price orlglnall '
paid for each lot. This was the proposition lu sub
stance, but It was enough to satisfy the lot-holder
of the unfairness of the Commissioners.
Mr. Floyd said he was la favor ol retaining th ;
ground for graveyard purposes. Ho saw by the re
ports of the meetings that it was supposed that tU
lot holders were unanimous in wishing the com
promise. This was a mistake. The speaker, with
others, never favored It. The member otl'erel th i
following resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:

GAY GAMBOLIERS.
Sudden Descent of Police ou a Gambling Beta
bliiibuicnt A Warning ( Voting Men.
It has been known to many of the members of the
police Coroe for some time that at a certain locality
on Washington street might be found a gambling
den that was doing a wholesale .business, and that
was more numerously attended than any similar
establishment in the city. It was visited by persona
of almost every age and condition eurnest devotees,
who manifested an ardent deeire to become inti
mately acquainted with the gentle disposition of the
tiger. The worshippers were ull earnestly engaged
at their devotions, when consternation suddenly
seized upon every one. The Assyrian had "come
down like a wolf on the fold," their cohorts chletly
gleaming with blue, and very kindly "gathered them
in." It required a large force to make the capture,
as there proved to be about forty-one, and the whole
force could not gain access to the rooms at once,
which were in the second story, and the arrests had
to be made land sent down stairs in detachments.
Eight of the party were professional gamblers, aud
the balance noviciates. A great many "chlpB" were
secured, but the most valuable machinery was
spirited away.
It was a sorry sight to see the poor fellows ar
ranged upon the sidewalk previous to receiving the
order to "forward" toward Sheriff Parker's Institute,
and It was still more amusing to hear the many en
treaties uttered by some to the police that they
would not take them to JuiU One would excite the
compassion of the police by stating that he would
not have his wife know of Ills arreBt for the world ;
another feared exposure on account or his em
ployers, and they tried nearly every method to in
duce the inexorable policemen to relax their rigid
and indiscriminate rules, that they might be favored
this once only, but they wouldn't relax. The pro
prietors of the tiger gave ball for their appearance,
and also those who were able to produce au amount
of Olthy lucre sufficient to guarantee their appear
ance for trial; others, too, who were fortunate
enough to possess collateral equivalents to the
( amount of ball demanded were also liberated, and
' the lmpecnnious had to suffer incarceration. Some
of the gentlemen betrayed fearlessness and swag
gered considerably exultlngly remarking that they
wonld criminate some high officials If they were not
liberated at once; and thought to gain release by
these means.
This will prove a wholesome lesson, we nope, to
some of the unfortunate young gentlemen who have
been caught in this unfortunate dilemma, and with
the hope that the lesson will prove a salutary one,
we will forbear mentioning their names this once,
that their disgrace may not be known to their
larents and friends. Jmiianapolit Journal, zoo. 10.
A LI1E CHAPTER.
How Drunken Hiiwbnnd Took Cnreofn Dying
Wile.
Th Chicago Hi-pub' lean of Nov. 14 ha the follow
ing painful narrative :
In the year iSftT It would appear that th re wns
nnited (n'the courts of matrimony William Kilis and
l)ora Skclton. From that time until the dealhof
Mrs. Ellis, on the 2Mh of September last, It Is not
known that any event occurred to create any trou
ble In the family, such as required or d. -served pub
lic comment, lniring all this time the husband awl
wife combined to live together, and thore were born
unto them several children. These children, by their
next friend, have just caused a petition to be Oled In
the Superior Court, asking the appointment or a
guardlanito take charge of them, on Ihe ground
that tlieir father is a iun of such Immoral
habits as to render him an unlit instructor and pro
tector. The petitioners are Harriet, Ldgiir. and
Kolxnt N. Kills, they being the only living children
exwpt a boy aired in years. These petitioner re
present that they are at present living with their
grandmother, Esther Sklltou, but that they are sub
ject to the father, who proposes soon to r.;move them
to his more immediate custody. It is further repre
sented that the father Is addicted to the excessive
use of Intoxicating drink, and H seldom entirely free
from the efforts of It. He Is also guilty of ne
glect lu providing for the wasita of his children,
and in giving them moral training or instruction;
does not allow them to aTend common schools
or Sunday School, and treats them with harshness
and cruelty. He is also charged with luting guilty of
using profane and Indecent language to su.;ii au ex
tent that the youngsters ran swear quite pr iflclcuMv
already, and that ho Is utterly devoted to hiH It ihits
of dissipation, and ever since the birth of tno first,
child, In 1S.V.), his wife and children have been elutho I
and fed, In a great measure, by fie relatives of the
deceased; and it Is represented that the father lias
spent most of his time In saloons.
It appears thatKev. William 1). Skilton anl John
I,. Skilton ure desirous to be appointed guardians of
the petitioners.
Mrs. Esther Skilton made aflldavit to the follow
ing effect: "I have visited the house of William
Kills during the lifetime of his wife, and have seen
Mm in such an intoxicated condition that he could
not stand op ; he has also visited the children when
he was unable to walk without assistance and
guidance."
Mrs. Sarah Kadcliffe made affidavit as follows:
"I know the habitsof Ellis, having been frequently
at the house during the Illness of his wife, ami 1 was
there as nurse during the sickness; 1 know that
Ellis was constantly and habitually drunk. He
manifested great Indifference as to the recovery and
comfort of any member of his family who might be
ill, refusing to provide'food or medicine, and alllant
or some one else was obliged to purchase the pre
scriptions made by the physician, lie was so regard
less of propriety and destitute of feeling that all the
day preceding the death of his wife he lay In a shed
adjacent to the house or In a saloon near by drinking
freely. During the day, under the pretense of fanning
his wife or ottering some attention, he took from
under her pillow her porteiuonuale, containing
about one dollar, while she was In an unconscious
condition, and appropriated it to his own use. When
returning from the funeral of his wife, he stopped at
a saloon for liquor, and remained until one of his
children was sent for him. All the petitioners have
acquired the habit of nslng profaue language, the
eldest being a girl aged seven years, und the young
ert a loy of two and a half years."
Mrs. Lizzie Danfouth and Mrs. Mary A. "Vain
wrlght, a sister of the deceased, made attldavlts In
support of the above.
FIRE.
The Chicago Wigwam Burned-Tim Place of
Abraham Lincoln') Nomination a Thing of the
Print.
From the Oiicago Tribune, Kov. 15.
The Republican wigwam of Chicago is no more. It
departed in a volume of lire and a cloud of smoke at
9 o'clock Inst night. Peace to Its ashes! It was the
grandest and at the same time the most dilapidated
structure In the United Stotes. Within Its walla
freedom was born, and It gave to America tho most
illustrious character in ner nistory. it was built for
the convention that nominated the first Republican
President. The choice fell on Abraham Lincoln. It
stood through his term of olllce, and stood yet firm
when tho bullet of the traitor assassin ended
the martyr's life. Tho mission of the party
that reared it was not yet accomplished. It
stood unshaken during all the years of the war,
biding Its time, and knowing that the right must
conquer. It got to be a shabby building, standing
in the very heart of the business part of the city, it
seemed like the relic of another age, between tho
colossal brick und marble palaces that looked down
upon it from side to side, liut no one possessed the
hurdlhood to lay the ruthless hand of the innovator
upon its sacred walls, while its mission the lull
lreedom of every inhabitant in America was not
yet accomplished. It stood in imminent peril of tire
a dozen times, the last Instance being less than a
month ago. Uut before last night tho protecting
genius of liberty seemed to watcu und guara over
Its htatorlc timbers, to save it from destruction before
its allotted time. That time hadcome. America Is
now lree.
The wigwam was erected In May, 1SG0, by the Re
publican Central Committee of Chicago, and cost
$tf),000. As soon as Chicago had been tlxed upon as
the place for holding the National Republican Con
vention, the necessity for providing some building
capable of containing the vast crowd of people
winch would be in attendance led to Its inception.
The funds required for its construction und prepara
tion were the free gift of the patriotic, public
spirited people of the city. It was constructed en
tirely of wood, John McKwen being the contractor,
and, wiieu completed, presented a plain but tasteful
appearance, it stood at the southeast cor
ner of Lake and Market streets, ou what was
known as the "Sau-ga-nash" lot, with a frontage of
one hundred feet on Lake aud oue hundred aud
eighty feet on Market street, and a height, at the
front, of thirty feet. At the centre of the Market
street front was a seml-clrcular facade, surmounted
by an eagle and shield, supporting a tall flagstaff,
while on the facade was inscribed the words:
"Irrenresslble and undivided." Towers of suitable
size at either end completed the architectural adorn
ments, on tne inside, at tne east sine or me build
ing, was au immense platlorm one hundred feet
long and thirty feet wide, standing in the centre.
with a committee-room at either end. At the opposite
side, und extending along the entire length, were
the galleries for spectators. The bulldlug was capa
ble of noiuiug ten taousunu persons.
STARTIJXU RUMOR.
The Mnanlah Gunboats at Delainater'a Nald to
be In Peril Threatened Jturnlng by the
Cubans.
The work of comDleting the Spanish flotilla, now
lvlug at the Delamatof Iron Works, Is proceeding
rapidly, and there is every prospect of the vessels'
completion by the first week in December.
A startling rumor is aoroaa, to tne enect mat the
vessels are to be burned aud scuttled bv the enemies
of Spain, while lying at their docks on the Hudson.
There Is good reason to believe that the friends of
Cuba and Peru have long regarded them with
anxiety. Fearing that aur Government may be pre
vailed upon to release the craft, they will probably
strike a desperate blow at them while yet . there is
time to do It.
They are built of wood, moored side bv side, and
should a fresh breeze be blowlug, a seaman knows
at which end of the tier to start (lie lire so that it
will burn rapidly and well. In such an event the
neet would be destroyed long before assistance could
arrive, aud It any vessels were saved from the de
vouring element, it would only be by Beuttllua and
sinking them, which would attain the objector the
incendiaries just as wen as tne destruction by lire.

. WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
The PrPHMiire on the Prenlilent to Recommend
Ihe .Recognition of t'ubnn Independence.
A special despatch to the Newiork World, dated
yesterday, say b:
Official despatches to the State Department from
onr consul at Havana say that the Cuban revolution
is in a rather quiet aud somewhat demoralized state,
liut little has !ecn done lately, and no advantage has
resulted to either side. The fact is, tiie contest is
virtually transferred here to Washington, where all
kinds of influences are being brought to bear on the
President to induce him to recommend the recogni
tion of Cuban independence. Hesides this, the mem.
bersof the House Committee on Foreign Affairs are
belulored by the representatives of the Cuban Junta,
and other Cuban sympathizers, to report early In De
cember the resolution referred to them in April last,
wliich provides for recognizing Cuba.
The Report of the Indian Peace CommUmlon.
A special to the HeraUl says :
The Indian Peace Commission meet here to-morrow
to bear the report of Messrs. Welch, Brunei and
Bishop, a snb-commlttee sent out to examine into
the condition of the Indians. George H. Stuart, of
Philadelphia, and Felix K. Brnnet, of Pittsburg, two
members or the Commission, arrived this evening;
the others are expected In she morning. The report
or the suiMJommittee, after telng approved by the
other members of the Commission, will be gui-wilUed
to the Secretary or tho Interior snd by him embodied
In his report to Congress. The report is quite
lengthy, and goes Into details not only of the present
condition of the Indians, Imtof their past history.
Among the recommendations models one that tlic
V itchitas, a friendly tribe, be assigned a reservation
or their own. It appears that they have
been among the most Illy used of the Indian tribes,
both by whites and the Indians, and according to
the terms of a recent treaty all their lands have beon
given away to other tribes, leaving the Wachttas
homeless. The committee were among the Indians
thirty-six days after they left railroad communica
tion, and were treated with great consideration by
the military authorities. Messrs. tleorgo H. Stuart
ami ltrunet called upon the President this evening.
It Is understood that, he cordially approves of what
has been done by the ('smtnlsslon. and is anxious to
have their plans carried out. It may be stated here
that there is no foundation for the stories which
have been circulated relative to differences between
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the Peace
Commission. They have worked together In entire
harmony from the beginning.

hennedy. the Superintendent of Polino, his, It
seims, got himself In trouble at last. And It is all of
his own doing. Everybody who knows anything
ab tit tnls mull, 'knows that he Is strong-willed,
brutal, und despotic. Whenever a matter lu which
the police are involved comes up, Kennedy, if he
tiiiilB ho cannot have things all his own way", raves
and loams and stamps about his office In the most
furious manner, and uses language Hint was never
intended to be far ears polite. Tho fact Is that this
man has been a disgrace to tho Police Department
almost from the moment that he entered it. The
high-handed outrages that he has committed are
quite numerous enough to make a volume, and
would be a splendid edition to the dime literature
of the clay.
KENNEDY AS A I.1VK HODV-BN ATVHER.
Kecently he turned his attention to the science of
kidnupping. The case in which ho began the prac
tice ol this congenial science has already been re
ported, but in view or tho ruct that tho Grand Jury
have taken it in charge, a recapitulation of the par
ticulars connected with It cannot prove uninterest
ing. Ou last Thursday night John Crawford was
arrested In Florence's saloon on Broadway. He was
arrested on a warrant Issued by a magistrate of
Chautauqua county the warrant calling for the
arrest of Luke Egau, who stood charged with having
committed a burglary in that county. Crawford
protested against the arrest, and said that his name
was not Luke Egnn, and that he never made ubc or
any other name than that given him by his parents.
1TJB r-KISONKR'S STATEMENT OORROBOKATEO.
He wus locked up over night and on the lollowlng
morning was confronted with Kennedy at Police
Headquarters. He told Kennedy that the arrest wus
a mistake, and repeated what ho said the night
before, namely, that his name was John Crawford.
He further stated that he never even heard of the
name of Luke Egau before. At this interview
Captain Jourdan, of the Sixth ward police, ami De
tective McCord, of the Central Office, were present.
Both of these officers enjoy a vast acquaintance
with the thieves, burglars, and others of that ilk not
only in this city but throughout Vuo country, and
they both said that the prisoner was not Luke'l'.gan,
a man who was well known to both of them.
KENNEDY WAVES It IS PCErTKE.
And now Kennedy showed the whole of his cloven
foot. The devil stuck right out. Ho turned red lu
tho face, and ordered the Fourteenth ward police
to deliver the prisoner at once Into the custody of
two detectives and Snerilf Andrews, of Chautauqua
county, u nis oruer was obeyed, and crawrorfl, still
asserting his -innocence, was taken to Chautauqua
county. Kennedy, to make his order more arbitrary
and obnoxious, instructed the officers to take tho
prisoner out ol the city In less than half au hour,
In order to prevent the service of a writ of habeas

A FAMILY HORROR.
Hideous Crime In ihe Household of a Deceased
Governor ol Illinois.
'From the ritMmrg J'tmt, Aw. 15.
- By a gentleman who arrived in tills city from Car
rollien, Greene county, Illinois, yesterday, we learn
the general laots concerning a startling crime in
that vicinity:
it involves the family of a widowed daughter of a
late Governor of Illinois. For some time suspicions
have been had that all was not right with a young
daughter belonging to the family, who became the
object or neighborhood scandal. Two or three weeks
ago she was taken very sick, and the aid of a physi
cian was called lu, by whom she was found to be in
labor. He contented himself by prescribing, but, as
he now savs, did not remain until the dnmiemenL
Several days having passed, and matters resuming
their ordinary course, without any appwenS change
in the number of the ramily, suspicion was excited,
which, becoming somewhat uncomfortable to the
physician referred to, led hlra to make clean breast
of his knowledge of the affair. On Wednesday last
matters came to a crisis, resulting in ft search of the
premises, when the body of a ncwlv-born Infant was
found in a outhouse vault on tiie premises. Physicians
who examined the remains gave it as their opinion
that the child had been born alive. Our informant
stales that the widow, her daughter, and a son-in-law,
whose wire is now dead, but who is suspected
or knowing qulte'.too much or the affaTi bsve been
arrested aud held for examination. The community

pnll remained over night in tlic second Hudson
Buy stockade, about two miles from tho United

by five hundred rebels to leave the British terri

At nine o'clock tho rebels marched Into the
stockade, aud tho Governor and his party
marched out in haste, and betook themselves to
United States territory. The rebels are deter
mined, nnd the inaccessibility of the country,
tho near approach of winter, and other obsta
cles, render doubtful tho success of military
operations. The rebellion Is a temporary suc
cess, nnd further developments are awaited.
The cause of the uprising is opposition to being

Our Peculiar National Holiday, and
How it ia Celebrated.
A Historic U Resume Thanksgiviaj
Day in the Pas ..
Holidays In (General.
The observance of same holidays Is ncoessnry to
the well-beinp; of any nation. Tho evil effects of
"all work and no play" are very well known, but not
se well understood by many people. Tho more evil
el' ecu of all play aud no work are appreciated moro
thoroughly In other countries than ours. In Italy,
for example, where more than half tho days are
saints' days or observances of some sort, tho people
prow Idle and Inactive; but lu our own country ,
where tho legal holidays of the year are summed up
in Independence day, Thanksgiving;, and Christmas,
we are pot so Uulilc to that evil.
How pleasant as a school-boy was the thought that
the morrow would bring relief from books nnd irk
some tasks; that the morrow being Thankigiv'ln or
X mas, as we wore wont to write It, or, the school
boy's all glotlotts '-Fourth," would brlug complete
exemption from all care and trouble 1 The day eoultl
be given up to the discharge of Bhootlng-eraekers,
tho pleasures of sense, of which we knew nothing
at the time, or the delights of games and stories.
For Thanksgiving and Christmas we wero some
times troubled with the awful phantom of a long
church service in the morning. We regarded It as a
sort of very narrow gate, through which we had to
tug and squeeze licfore we could enjoy the pleasures
oryond. To the New Edgland boy the long Thanks
giving sermon was the greatest of all great earthly
bores. lie believed m expressing his thankfulness
singly, not lu the presence of tho assembled congre
gation, and by the loss of a whole precious morning
of holiday-time. It would be well for ns If we re
tained more of our school-boy thoughts In our daily
life.
The American business man, as a rule, confines
himself closely, lie has no holidays. He works
from morning till night sometimes far into the
nlj,'ht. He works sometimes on Sundays, too. On.
legal holidays, when his store or oillce is closed, he
Is often toiling behind the closed shutters. He
allows himself no rest ; he takes no vacation In sum
mer; he works until he Is obliged to lay over and
vacate forever; and this for money only, which can
do him no good, ror he allows himseir no time to
enjoy it.
Every one needs recreation. Holidays are for this
purpose. A nation without them Is a sorry nation,
it, will become a dull, Insipid, worn-out nation. With
too many such vacations, the people become Idle
and In.y. The nation with the happy mean is the
favoied ono
In our locality Christmas appears to be the most
generally observed. Xcw York makes the most of
New Year's. New England holds sacred Thanks
giving. Christmas with us is the great season of
jollllication, of gift-making, of family gatherings,
of kind greetings. This Is owing largely to our Ger
man element, by whom tho day is held in the great
est reverence. New England observes Thanks
giving in much the same manner, though a more
thorough appreciation othe day Is fast creeping
Into this latitude.
OrlKln ofthe Dnv.
The annual festival of Thanksgiving Is eminently
a Tnvit'inti-iLl Institution, which dates biu-.k for Ita
origin to the early colonial days of New England.
The settlers of that section of our country, by the
religious persecutions to which they were subjected
in their native land, Imbidcd a thorough aud uncom
promising hatred of slmost every feature of the
established mode of worship. The great festival of
Christ mas has from time immemorial been the hap
piest and merriest season of tho year in ".lierrie Old
England" the period to which old and young alike
have looked forward for a brief relaxation from the
labors and cares of their dally lire. For this very
reason, if for no other, the Puritans came to regard
it with feelings of peculiar hostility. So, upon
establishing themselves in their new homes in the
wilderness, they gravely resolved that the whole
thing was nothing short of a relic of Papistry, with
out any foundation In Holy Writ, and tlicy forth
with proceeded to do away with It.
Still they deemed it necessary that there should be
set apart some particular day In the year on which
tho people should keep holiday and also manifest
their thankfuluess to the Creator for the crowning
mercies and favors of their lives. The latter part or
November was tho period at which the chief labors
of the year wero ended, and Its substantial fruits
fulls irarrifirnil. It was naturally & norin.i f ....
J D " V w . . u xj .
and relaxation; and what time could be more fitting
than this for retnrning to an all-merciful Providence
the thanks with which their hearts were swelling?
For thiB reason, Thanksgiving Day was fixed at this
particular season of the year, above all others.
It became by degrees an established Institution of
the State, the precise day being fixed and its faithf al '
UUBCl VailC disUsVsUia UJ VAJJICDO fCg 1910..J UUo J. Itr
time was not uniform, however, In all the New Eng
land States. In two of them, we believe, It occurs
on tho Thursday next preceding the last In the
nionth; while In the others, Including Massachusetts
and Connecticut, It formerly came upon the last
Thursday of the month. In none ef the other States .
In the Union, as far as we are aware, has the subject
been thought an appropriate one ror the Interference
or tne law-making power, uai in an toe Middle ana
Northwestern States, the chief element of the popn- .
latlon of which has been drawn rrom New England -sources,
the day has been regularly observed for
many years, on the voluntary recommendation of
their respective Governors. The time fixed npon
outside of New England ror the observance or the
custom has generally been the lost Thursday in tho
present month.
President Grant's proclamation or this year, whloh
has been concurred in by the dlilerent Governors,
has appointed the third Thursday, which makes the
day uniform throughout the Union. This conforms ,
to the legal appointment of some New England
States, while others, we believe, have changed tieir
statutes to suit.
The Universality of Thaukflgivlng-.
Considering the origin and early character of this '
great festival, It may be a matter or wonder to some
that it has become a national and universal institu
tion. Restricted at llrst to the Puritans and their
descendants and religious adherents, It has In the
oonrse or two centuries established Itself on a firm
footing in every creed. By Catholic as well asbv
Protestant, it is now observed In an appropriate '
manner, and even the adherents of Judaism do not
ignore It. Nearly every place of Christian worshin
in the Northern States Is now regularly opened for
special religious services, which always have par
tlcular reference to the day and Its gran.l object J
And being one or the great events or the year the
ministers or all denominations have been accus
tomed to deliver ror their Thanksgiving sermons th
ablest productions or their thought and study
This universal prevalence or Its observance how
eTi-r, has only been gained at theexDens r.r '
promise on the part or its orlginel round..r rrT
mas, the very Institution to supplant which ir J
