Even Executives Pefeatcd for lie-Election feel Thankful. mXOIER BKXDS ODT TIIE SHORTEST COEr.EsrosDKxcK or the msrATCu. Toi-eka, Xov. 2i 1 has become an es tablished custom for the Governors of the various States to compliment each other with a copy of their Thanksgiving procla mations. A great deal of taste is displayed in printing these proclamations. The finest of paper is used and the type is selected with a view to making these souvenirs worthy of preservation. They vary in size from a note-head to a showbill, and in many cases the great seal of the State stands out prominent over a cold wafer. In the executive office in Topcka this year's procVamations are on file, and it is really an interesting bundle of documents to look over. Very few of these proclama tions are couched in similar language. There is an originality in each, and in many it is maiked. They are here from all quarters of the continent from Alatka and Maine and from Florida and Minnesota. The First Proclamation of President Harrison's seems to have made a very happy allusion to this national holi day in the beginning of his Thanksgiving proclamation. He said: "It is a very glad incident of the marvelous prosperity which has crooned the year now drawing to a close, that its liclnful and reassuring touch ha been felt by all our people. It has been as v. ide as our country, and so special that ecry home has felt its comforting influ ence. It i too great to be the work of man's power, and too particular to be the device of ins mind. To God, the beneficent and the all-wise, who makes the labors of men to be fruitful, redeems their losses by His grace, and the measure of whose giving-is as much beyond the thoughts of nan a his deerts, the praise and gratitude of the people of this favored nation arc justlv due." He deres thnt Thursday, the a! tli instant, 'hall be "a day of joyous thanksgiving to God for the bounties" of His Providence, for tin peace in which we arc permitted to enjoy them, and forth; preservative of those institutions of civil and religious libcrtv. From the VTolverine State. Governor Edwin B. Winans. of Michigan, ays- "Providence has greatly favored s in the year that is now closing Fruitful harvests have rewarded the labors of our people, and the blessings of healti' and i peace have followed ns as a nation. In urging the people tomcetatthei, respective places of workup and to manife; their gratitude for those favors, he save: "We should not be unmindful of our obligation to those who suffer from proverty and mis fortune: but, by ministration tothcirwants, bring gladness to their hearts and joy to their homes." Governor Horace Boies, of Iowa, has special reasons to be thankful, in addition to his 8,000 plurality. He savs: "The past has been a year of great prosperity with us. Mature, in everything thai per tains to the welfare of our State has been bountiful to the extreme. To that divine Providence whic-j controls the destinies of individuals, as well as those of Xations and States, are we each indebted for the multi tude of blessings that hat e fallen to our lot." Why New Jersey Gives Thanks. Governor Iieon Abbott, of Xew Jersey, in accordance with law and the established custom of his State, "recommends that all the people abstain from w ork on that day, and assemble in their respective places of worship and give thanks to God for his kindness and mercy in the past and invoke his mercies upon the nation, the State and upon all our people." It is significant that Governor Abbott spells "Nation" with a little 'n" and State with a large "S." I'rom far oil Alaska comes the Thanfcs civing proclamation of Governor Lyman K. Ivnapp. He says: "And we shall do well to show our gratitude by substantial acts of benevolence to those less fortunate than oui selves, and by such ministrations of love and kindness to all our fellows as shall tend to lighten human burdens and tjuicken the promptings of human hearts to a grateful recognition of the "Universal Fatherhood of God and the Universal Brotherhood of Man." Governor David R. Francis believes the people of Missouri have abundant cause to be thankful: aiis-ouri's Reasons for Gratitude. "For the peace and harmony and respect for law that prevail throughout their juris diction, for their freedom from pestilence and famine, for the bountiful harvest with which they have been blessed, for their con stant progress in material development, for their attainment of a high intellectual and social state, for the uninterrupted growth of a broader humanity, and for the continued enjoyment of a free government." Governor Morgan G. liulkelcy, of Con necticut, issues a handbill and" makes his proclamation short. He recommends that the people of the State observe the dav "by deeds and words of charity and neiihborlv kinduess, and by public gatherings in their usual places of worship, returning thanks to Almighty God for the blessings of the year." "Duly recognizing and fully appreciating the manifold blessings bestowed upon us by the Supreme Architect of the Universe," Governor H. K. Colocord, of Nevada, recommends that the day be observed "by returning thanks with "grateful hearts for the blessings of the year now drawing to a close." Governor A. B.TTlcming, of "West "Vir ginia, savs: t" "T jf IIC 1 I,- n,t. P l-Inrlnnni. and deeds --rf,V l J "vkD " &IUUIJW3 of charity, remember all who need our sympathy and help." The Slost Laconic Message Oat. Probably the briefest proclamation comes from Oregon. Governor Sylvester Pcnnoyer says: "Inasmuch as gratitude for favors receivea should find due expression, I here by appoint Thursday, the 2Gth day of No vember, as a day of public thanksgiving to Almighty God, to be observed by the whole people of Oregon. " Go vci nor Campbell, although defeated for rc-electicu, believes the neople of Ohio have much to be thankful for. He says: "The past year has brought them many blessings; and they have not been visited by plague, pestilence or iamine. They see around them evidence of industry and thrift." Particularly have they been favored with an abundant vield from orchard and field. Tiie earth has truly given to them of its treasures, and tin eatened depression has been averted bv the bounty of nature. The I learned professions, the tradesman, the me chanic and the laborer have reason to re " joice with thefarmcrthat Divine Providence has given him plenty, thus enabling him to bestow of his supply upon less fortunate countries. Governor Hiram A. Tnttlc, of New Hamp thire, is happy in his selection of words: He says: A Happily Worded Proclamation. "Seasons of fasting and thanksgiving af ford a fitting expression of onr dependency upon God, and become a part of that lea Minable service we owe our Heavenly Father, for the multiplied blessine.s of the j ear. Our fathers were accustomed to ob oerve the seedtime w iih fasting and prayer, and to rejoice in the fullness of harvest with thanksgiving and praise. Abundant harvests have gladdened the husbandman; our multiplied industries have beeu pros perou and peace and good order among the citizens hat e added a strength to law and dignities of the State." The proclamation issued by "the Com monwealth of Massachusetts" "is 2xo feet in size and looks more like a public sale bill than a Thanksgiving proclamation. Across the bottom are these words in old English: "God save the Commonwealth of Massachu setts," 'Governor William E. Russell be lieves that "Thanksgiving to God is ever the duty and privilege of dependence and love. Let us, on this joyous New England festival, gather once again in the old homes where family love realizes its richest joy in family reunfor. "As we thus lift up our hearts in thanks giving and praise to our beneficent Father for His manifold blessing to our Nation, our Commonwealth and our people, let u remember that our homage is never so pleas ing to Him as when the hearts that render it is full of charity and love for all His childen." Governor Mill's Devont Gratitude. Governor David B. Hill cites numerons reasons why the people of New York should he thankful. He says: "The year now draw ing to a close has given to the people many causes for contentment and thankfulness. It has been a year of singularly abundant harvests Prosperity and peace have pre vailed generally. No calamity has befallen the people. Fair employment has been triven to labor. Industry and commerce have earned generous returns, and the wealth of the State has been increased. No heavy burdens and no unequal laws have beeu imposed upon the people by their representatives in the Legislature and their public officers, and the taxes levied lor the support of our Commonwealth are the low est in a generation." Governor Lyman C. Humphrey, of Kan sas "recommends that ordinary business be suspended and that in the church and in tli2 home, at the altar and the firesides, devont thanks be tendered to the Giver of all good for His loving kindness to usasapcople and a Commonwealth: and let us prove our thankfulness on that day by remembering and liberally providing for the poor and less fortunate, that they too may rejoice and give thanks." Trom Tar-Off Nebraska. Governor Joseph "VV. Fife, ol Illinois, speaks of the bountiful harvests which have been "garnered in the smile of peace and under the reign of law." He recommends that the people "give thanks to Almighty God for the continued blessings of a free and bounteous land where from the resources of nature and the equal and just institutions of men alike comes the happiness and prosperity of the citizen. Let the needy and unfortun ate be remembered with charity. Let the family reunions be held, and "around the board where youth and age meet in joyous festival let the spirit of patriotism be pro moted, and let there be instilled into the minds of the youth of our Commonwealth a love and appreciation of that splendid sys tem of civil and religious liberty which our forefathers planted for us in the wilderness the New World." Herbert AV. Ladd, Governor of "Rhode Island and Providence Plantations." says: "While the year has becnmarked by calam ity and distress in many farts of the world, abundant harvests have brought to us a large measure of material prosperity, with the outlook bright with promise for the Nation and State and for all our people." A Literary and Mechanical Gem. Goternor Andrew H. Burke, of North Dakota, issues the most beautiful proclama tion yet received by the Kansas Executive. It is" also one of the most interesting on file. Governor Burke says: "Thanksgiv ing proclamations are sometimes issued as a matter ot duty or custom, but in this year of our Lord, 1831, your Kxecutite feels thai he will not be able to command language sufficiently strong to impress upon the people his own idea of the thanks that are due for the splendid harvests in this year ot peace and prosperity. "The horn of plenty has been opened wide," says Governor Burke, "and oless ings havebeen showered on the people of North Dakota." He quotes a few stanzas of poetry to prove that North Dakota pos sesses the finest climate on earth. The people of Arkansas are reminded by Governor James P. Eagle that "the sick, the poor and the unfortunate should not be forgotten, but should be remembered m sympathy and in such a substantial way that the day may be to them a day of thanksgiving indeed." From the New State of Washington. Governor Elisha P. Herry believes there arc many reasons why the people of Wash ington should observe the day. He says: "It is meet and proper that there shouldbe a public manifestation and expression of the feelings of profound gratitude which the people of the State of Washington cherish toward Almighty God for the numberless blessings which He has vouchsafed to them during the past year." There are others, but these will suffice. They are expressions from the Governors of States and Territories widely separated, and as they are filed away in the Executive Office from year to year, make an interest ing collection of Thanksgiving proclama tions.

List of McCurtfy-McDonald Operators Who Can Give Thanks To-Day. FICKLE FORTUNE'S FAVORED FEW. Hoorlead Well Drilled Deeper and Its Pro duction Increassd. LATER FIFTH SAND DEVELOPMENTS There are few oil producers outside of the MrDomld-McCurdy field who will feel like giving thanks to-day. Even some of those in these two pools who have struck dry spots will scarcely be in a mood to say much while eating their Thanksgiving turkey. A protracted period of GO-cent oil is not calculated to arouse a thankful feeling in the breasts of the pro ducers as a whole, but the men who have been getting oil at the rate of 100 and 300 barrels an hour from every well they drilled, can well afford to sit down to a Thanksgiv ing dinner an'l give thanks for the mauy blessings which have been conferred upon them, even though 42 gallons of oil .is only worth GO cents. Even in the southwest fields the benefits have not been so widely scattered as many peo ple may have been led to believe. With out exaggeration it is perfectly safe to say that a score would cover all of the firms and companies who would be able to figure any profits if they were to balance up their accounts to-day. The great bulk of the rich territory is controlled by very few parties. The heart of the pool is held by E. IT. Jennings, J. M. Guffey, M. Murphy, JohnGalloway and John Galle. the Heart of the Pool. They have the J. J. Mathews farm, on which is located the big Mathcwi well, which has produced nearly 500,000 barrels of oil since July 16; the Bell farm, the Mathews heirs farm and the Hcrron farm. They have completed eight wells on these four farms, and not a well but has made more than 100 barrels an hour at some period of its existence. The Oakdale Oil Company, in which the Fisher Bros., J. M. Gufley, M. Murphy and J. M. McFarland are the heaviest stock holders, has the Baldwin, the Wallace, the Morgan heirs, the Hopper aud the Sturgeon heirs' farms. Eight wells have also been finished on these iarms, aud with the excep tion of the one on the Hopper, which is off to" the west, all of the others have made from 7." barrels an hour up to 200 an hour. Guffey, Murphy & Galey's Elljott and the Sam Sturgeon farms have been very productive. Three wells have been finished on the Elliott, two of which htarted off at more than 150 barrels an hour, while the other is good for about 250 barrels a day. The two wells which they have finished on the Sam Sturgeon farm arc both big. On all of the farms named above there arc from one to six wells now drill ing, with good indications for getting as strong producers as in the first which were put down. The Famous Mevey Property. Southwest of these farms is the famous Mevey property, on which Greenlee & Forst drilled a well that produced for a short time more oil than any other well ever drilled in America. The have com pleted two other big wells on this farm, but nothing like the original No. 1. They have also drilled three wells through the fifth sand, which will'not make more than average pumpers. Ten other wells are now being put down on this prop erty. William Gnckert and Major John A. Steel have 50 acres off the southwest part of theMeveyfarm,andtheirNo.l did 100 barrels an hour ior many weeks, but has now set tled down and is being pumped. Their No. 2 was a small well, but No. 3 started off big and is still producing over 30 barrels an hour. They are also drilling a 'number of other wells and expect to finish up a couple the first of next week. Hays & Gartland, who leased the choice part of the Miller farm, have been extremely well treated by fickle fortune. They have completed five wells on this lease and every one of them produced from 100 to 250 barrels an hour for several weeks. One operator estimated that they had gotten enough oil out of heir five w ells to cover the entire lease a foot deep. Southwest of this prop erty is a strip of the Sautsrs farm and then comes McDonald borough with its scores of town lot wells, nine-tenths of which were utter failures. East of the Oakdale Oil Company's Wallace farm the Forest Oil Company has gotten a good big well on each of the three Glenn farms, and two big wells on the AV. C. Hcrron farm. Pioneers iu McDonald. The Royal Gas Company, which might be said to have opened up the McDonald field, has drilled several good wells. AV". P. and A. H. Logan are the Pittsburg stockhold ers. Their old Sauters No. 3, one of the first big wells in the southwestern end of the field, made 125 barrels au hour for some time, but has long since stopped flowing. Their No. 1 on the Mary Robb property, one-half a mile north west irom the sauters JSo. 3, was a gusher of the 100-barrcl class and pro duced thousands of barrels ot petroleum before losing its grip. The same company's venture on the Sauters property, east of the railway station, was also a pood well, and several others completed by this firm, although not large, have more than paid for their drilling. The Devonian Oil Company, which is only another name for the well-known pro ducing firm of Finegan, Downing & Co., should also be largely ahead in the field. Their first venture turned out to be small. They were off to the west of the McDonald, on the Fayall, the J. H. Robb and one or two other small leases in that vicinity. Noue of them were absolutely dry, but would probably make average" pumpers. After tKe Royal Gas Company completed its Dig wen on tne -u. jwdd larm, the De vonian Oil Company put down its No. 1 on the Morgan Elliott iarm, northeast of M. Robb, and got a big well. Then it went into southwest McCurdy, and a few days ago finished its No. 1 on the Boyce heirs farm which is still doing 150 barrels an hour. One of tlie Favored Firms. A firm which stands first on the list is Patterson & Jones. To them belongs the whole credit of opening the well-known McCurdy field. It is only a little more than a year ago since J. M." Patterson drove into Pittsburg late one evening and an nounced that their No. 1 on the McCurdy farm was "throwing a solid column of oil as high as the walking beam." The next day dozens of operators and leasers were in the field, and in less than two weeks wells were going down on all of the sur rounding farms. Patterson & Jones, how ever, had the cream of the pool corralled under the McCurdy farm, and in a few ' months " they each had made good sized ' fortunes out of their venture. Recently they have gone farther to the southwest. "Fortune has evi dently kept them company as the two big wells which they recently finished on the Kelso farm would seem to indicate. In the same locality the Forest Oil Company has been getting some good w ells on the Shaffer farm. AV. B. Hoffman & Co.'s No. 1, on the Moore, was small, but their No. 2 Bhould increase their bank account. IL G. Gillespie & Co. were by no means short on the 3IcCurdv field. They drilled a number of good wells and still have plenty of good territory left which thev intend to drill over as soon as the McDonald excite ment goes down. The Orion Oil Company was also on top of the heap at McCurdv. but since then has not done any outside work. There Are Still Some Others. There are besides these named above a number of producers who have been for tunate on small prices. Among these are 0bnlin& Fertig, on the Christy; Le Comte DISPATCH, THURSDAY, & "Vallilee, on the Short lot; Hosier & Co., on the Church lot; Clark & Bannister, on the Butler lof; AAr. P. Rend and a number of others which are given in the gauges below. These can all give thanks for the favors which fortune has seen fit 'to bestow upon them. They are not a drop in the bucket, however, to the hun dreds, or rather thousands, of operators in in the upper fields who are grumbling and growling on account of the vast amount of oil which is now being produced within 20 miles of Pittsburg. They believe that but for this immense production .oil would be from 80 cents to SI a barrel, and as few of them have a produc tion of over eight or ten barrels a day to the well, the drop from 75 to 80 cents, which they had been getting a few months ago, to the present price makes a big differ ence in the size of their pocket books. Many of them had purchased their prop erty with the intention of paying for it from the -production, but now they are being compelled to either throw it up, or get an extension of time. AVithin the last year Pittsbure has become firmly estab lished as the center of the oil producing in dustry of AVestcrn Pennsylvania. Pitts burg "is now the headquarters of all the leading operators, contractors, and oil well supply manufacturers, and within the next year the headquarters of all the various pipe line companies will be located in Pittsburg. A well-known resident of Bradford stated to The Dispatch scout this week that, while looking over a poll book for 1884 the other day, he concluded to ascertain how many voters had left his ward, the Second, and the city since that time. He saw at a glance that those who remained were in the minority, and to save time he counted the latter. The total number of names in the book was 485, and of these all but 162 had moved to other places, the-majority to Pitts burg. Other people, he said, had taken the places of those who had left, but the newcomcrj were not engaged in the oil business. The Moorhcad's Output Increased. The Venture Oil Company's well on the Moorhead farm was still the talk of the trade yesterday. It was drilled deeper into the Gordon sand Tuesday afternoon, and its production increased about 200 barrels a day. Some operators who visited the well yesterday claimed that it was good for at least 300 bar rels a day. Three 200 barrel tanks at the well are Tull of oil, and the produc tion was cdfnc on the ground yesterday afternoon. Drilling has been stopped until I a pipe line can be laid to the wen ana the oil taken care of. Greenlee & Forst are getting out timbers for a rig, which will be located on the J. R. Gladden farm, 200 feet southwest of the Moorhead. The latter is 12 feet in the Gordon sand. The Royal Gas Company was running the tools in its well on the Moore, farm at Venice yesterday. They claimed to be 15 feet in the fifth sand and drilling in a hard shell. It seems to be the general belief, however, that they are only in the fourth. The Oakdale Oil Company's No. .'!, ou the AVallacc farm, got the sand at 3 o'clock yes terday afternoon, and Btarted off at 60 bar rels an hour. It is located GOO feet south west of No. 2. The AVoodlaud Oil Com pany's No. 2, on the Gamble farm, has been drilled through the fifth" sand, and is a small well. Their No. 3, on the same farm, is down 1,750 feet. Guffey, Jennings & Co. drilled their No. 1, ou the Mathews heirs farm, a little deeper into the sand last evening, and it increased from 65 to 130 barrels an hour. They have started to drill their No. 2 on the same property. The Nos. 2 and 3 on the J. J. Mathews farm, belonging to the same parties, should be completed next week. The Oakdale Oil Company's No. 2 on the Morgan heirs was reported to be in the filth last night and making 80 barrels an hour. Gordnier, Snyder & Co.'s venture on the malthouse property at Oakdale was eight feet in the Gordon sand last evening with no oil. Moon and Stoups Ferry. A drv hole has just been drilled on the McAllister farm, one mile west of the Moon Postoffice, by the Jlahoning Gas Company. It, was drilled through the fifth sand, and the only showing was a little gas in the third sand. The same company has just finished a fair gasser on the Dally farm, a few hundred feet north of Sharon. The gas comes from the fourth sand, and it is believed to be an ex tension of the Narrows Run jas belt The Bridgewater Gas Company is drilling on the Seiffler farm, 800 feet north of the Dally farm. The Fort Pitt Gas Company is start ing a well on the I'atton farm in the town of Stoups Ferry. The same company will complete a well on the Martha Burns farm this week. It is west of the gas develop ments on Narrows run. Ganges of the Wells.

Hang a low broad mirror over the mantel, if you can get one of the old-fashioned three-partioned ones, so much the better; then over the mirror and about the walls hang a few good, well-framed etchings. Keep the ornaments of the room chiefly in brass or copper. A dark olive green vase will give a dominant note that is accordant with the general tone of the room. The fur niture coverings and the table draperies would best compose with this room, in olive green. Of course this is the simplest way. There are endless ways of refining and beautifying which can" be left to the in dividual taste. The little guest chamber with its white dods and light china blue cartridge paper should have a white matting, with a gray fur rug. For curtains there is lovely blue and white cotton crape that is not expen sive. Hang two plaster easts on the wall. Have the toilet service in blue and white china and any old furniture of good shape can be repainted in white enamel paint to look well. The dining room should be covered with sage blue filling, cither brussels or three ply. The furniture would better be either in mahogany or mahogany stain a side board, side table, table and chairs being the only essentials. Blue and white Indian china is both durable and pretty, and may be used about the room with good decorative effect. Curtain the windows with blue and white cotton fabric, or with white mull curtains with a flounce, if the right shade of lue is not obtainable. In small rooms avoid heavy draperies, as their effect is to contract. AVith the warm ochre walls of the bed room, put olive green fillings on the floor and pale olive curtains at the window1! jute velours would be a suitable material. The furniture should be in cherry with brass mountings and a brass bed would be charming. If you have a low ineffective mantel shelf any carpenter can build it up for you with two small shelves on either side and a long shelf across the top. The shelves can he covered with green velours like the curtains. The space at the back can be filled in with plaster medallion, a reproduction from one of the early Italian masters, or if you prefer it a small mirror will do just as well. This is all elementary but, it will, at least, make a good point of departure. Doha AVheeleb. POINTS 05 OEIENTAL BTG3. Advice for Purchasers From One of the Ex-Mlnistefa to Persia. tWlilTTEN rd'R'THE.DlSFATCII. HEBE is scarcely any article of foreign man ufacture more fashion able in the United States than the ori ental rug. This is partly because the rug is not only a decorative but also a useful arti cle. There is one principle to consider in the selection of most oriental rugs the method of manufac ture. Invariably made by hand, the warp consists of linen or cotton strings, and the woof is formed by weaving tufts of woolen yarn'on the warps.with the fingers. Each row is pressed down with a woof shot, giv ing compactness to the material. Of late the Persians have taken occasionally to using cotton strings in the warps. Some very handsome rugs are made by this means. But they can hardly prove as durable as the linen-stringed rugs. In judging of a rug, therefore,, the buyer should examine the ends of the strings which are either braided into a fringe or hang loosely. " Next to the above principle the pile and the design are the chief points to consider. The pile, or nap, is sometimes deceptive, however, because the cunning Oriental dealer often shaves down the velvety pile of an old or shop-worn rug, thus making the carpet much thinner and apparently with a closer texture than at first In this way one may sometimes mistake a Shiraz rug for one ofFeraghan. The Kerman rugs resemble the best velvety pile carpets, although with a shorter nap. The wool used in them is the finest in Asia, excepting that of Cash mere, to which it is allied. The designs of the Kerman carpets are quite realistic, in cluding flowers, and sometimes rude figures of men and animals. The texture and style of the Kurdistan rugs are superior to any made in either Turkey or Persia. Ghileems are made in AYestern Persia. At Teheran the price is from ?7 to 540 or 30 per rug, according to quality or design. Good Feraghan carpets cost from S3 to $4 50 the square yard. Khorassan rugs have a superior texture to those ofFeraghan, but the design often con tains rea istic representations of objects in nature, especially flowers. In this respect they resemble the stiff patterns ot Eu ropean carpets. Some of the finest Khor assan carpets have the center of a superb single color, black, white or crimson, sur rounded by a rich border. These carpets dring when new ?5 to 10 the square yard. Magnificent silk rugs with a pile nearly au inch thick are made in Cashmere equally to that of Persia. There is nothing more magnificent among textile fabrics than such a rug. A silk rug, six or seven feet long, is worth on the spot $250 to J300. Some, ot course, are worth more than that. There are no carpets more celebrated than those ot Turkey. The designs are simple and with little regard to absolute symmetry, as if inherited from a rule period. A good Turkey nig is worth ?3 to $7, a square yard, where it is made. One of the'finest of oriental wool carpets, perhaps the best of Central Asia after those of Kurdistan, is that of Turkistan, made by the wandering Turkomen. Our dealers call it a Bokhara- rug, but Asiatics know it as the Turkistan rug. These rugs are worth in the Persian markets from 54 to 7 the squaret yard. A really fine one in good condition, of 00 to 60 ytars" old, is worth more. The price per yard increases propor tionately with the size. S. G. AA". Benvamix. DAUGHTERS OF NOTED MEH. No Halo Descendant to Perpetuate M ny lllatrlon Naiues. It is noteworthy what a number of men eminent in the era 18G1-C5 are now repre sented only in the female line of descent. Neither Abraham Lincold nor Jefferson Davis has a living .grandson. Neither has . Andrew Johnson, Thurlow Weed, nor Hor- jMk is 'W4iS!CSJWsKift ace Greeley. General Hancock's one son left behind him only a small daughter. There is no representative of General Scott's ,name. A singular parallel runs betwixt two Con federate Generals, Stonewall Jackson and John Morgan, prince of raiders. Each died before the war ended, leaving one fair daughter. The two girls grew up, married happily, bore each a daughter and died soon after giving birth to a second child. A Fact or Masculine Nature. A man's faith in his ability to do a woman's work better than she does it is usually exactly in inverse ratio to what he knows about it. A WEEDING SHI HO BEIDE. The Denouement In the Bomance of a Poor Canadian Girl. Detroit, Nov. 23. A fashionable chu'eh on AVoodwnrd avenue has been prepared for a wedding which will never take place. To day was the time fixed for the ceremony. Society declared it romantic that Clarence Gould, son of the richest wholesale grocer in the city, should espouse a girl who had only beauty, charming manners, a delight ful voice and a few acres of Canadian soil to reeommend her. 5Ir. Gould, Sr., had fur nished a fine residence for the couple, and the bride-elect had purchased a $1,600 trous seau, for the payment of which young Gould had given security. The young lady is (or was) Miss Edna Percy, of Napanee, Ont. Her parents died a year ago, leaving her a one-third interest in a small farm from which she had realized no cash. Her friends supplied her with money, and she came to Detroit to study in Jlehan's School' of Music In Napanee there lived a druggist's clerk named Edward Fullerton, whom MissPercy loved and had promised to marry. It is not known whether this engagement was broken by her or not, but it was a secret from her sister and brother in Napanee. AVhen Miss Percy came to Detroit she saw and conquered. The quiet and exclusive set to which the Goulds belonged tpok her up, and she lived in fine style. Life in Detroit made her ambitious, and she accepted Clar ence P. Gould's proposal of marriage, as she explained in Napanee, for his money, but her heart remained with the dispenser of drags at ?8 a week in her native villarge. The party not arriving, Mr. Gould tele graphad to Napanee. Dr. Cowie briefly re plied: "Edna has gone away; don't k'now where." Young Gould, who took the blow very much to heart, subsequently heard that Edna had gone to Toronto to marry Edward Fullerton, who went with her. Mohammed Ben All Slew the Janizaries.

The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child ap pears to have taken a cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarseness from the start.

The time to act is when the child first be comes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy will prevent the attack.
