Proclamation for Thanksgiving Day.
By the President of the United States of America
—A proclamation : It has long been the pious cus
tom of our people, with the closing of the year, to
look hack upon the blessings brought to them in
the changing course of the seasons, and to return
solemu thanks to the Ali Giving Source from
whom they flow. Aad although at this period
when the falling leaf admonishes us that the time ot
our sacred duty is at hand, our nation still lies in
the shadow of a great bereavement, and the mourn
ing which has filled our hearts, still finds Its sor
rowful expression toward the God before whom
we but lately bowed in grief and supplication.
Yet the countless benefits which have showered
upon us during the past twelve months call for our
fervent gratitude, and make it fitting that we
should rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord in
IBs infinite mercy has most signally favored our
country and our people. Peace without and pros
perity within havy been vouchsafed to us. No
pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant
privileges of freedom, which our fathers left us in
their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage.
And if, in parts of our vast domain, some affliction
has visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet
even this calamity has been tempered and in a man
ner sanctified by the generous compassion for the
suffers which lias been called forth throughout our
land. For all these things it is meet that the voice
of the nation should go up to God in devout hom
age. Wherefore I, Chester A. Arthur, President
of the United States, do recommed that all the peo
ple observe Thursday, the24th day of November,
iust., as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer,
by ceasing so far as may bo, from their secular la
bors and meeting in their several places of worship,
there to join in ascribing honor and praise to Al
mighty God, whose goodness has been so manifold
in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest
prayers that Ilis bounties may continue to us and
to our children.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to
be affixed
Doue at the city of Washington, this fourth day
of November, in the year of our Lord 1881, and of
the independence'of the United States, 106.
[Signed] CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
By the President.
JAMES G. BI.AINE,
Secretary of State.
The Syracuse Journal believes that the
presence of President Arthur in New
York saved the Republican State ticket.
"He stopped the selling out of the State
ticket," says the Journal , "and restrain
ed the local aspirants for office from their
ruinous policy. To these efforts, in
which the President was heartily second
ed by the best mni in the city organiza
tion, is due the favorable shaping of Re
publican party all'iirs here. Like service
of not less imn.rtauce was done in
Brooklyn, and aided materially in the ex
cellent political results there. There
were also difficulties in the interior
which threatened bad results. These
troubles were taken in hand, and in part
so far as General Arthur had power, were
regulated. He caused agents to be sent
into Wadsworth's congressional district
and Pitts' senatorial district to stop the
stalwart efforts therein being made for
the defeat of the Republican nominees.
This movement was useful is aiding
Wadsworth's election and was wholly
successful in securing Pitts' re-election
to the Senate.
During the days that the body of Pres
ident Garfield lay in state in Cleveland a
woman annoyed the widow and friends
with whom she was then staying by most
persistent efforts to get Queen Victoria's
wreath and some of the other floral relics
from the catafalque, for the purpose, as
she then represented, of embalming and
preserving the flowers for Chicago ladies
to present to Mrs. Garfield. She was
frequently rebuffed, but finally procured
a card from Stanley Brown to the Mayor
of the city from whom she succeeded in
getting a number of the floral pieces. She
took them to Chicago and now has ad
vertised them for sale, claiming to have
paid several thousand dollars for them.
Thousands -of girls in Switzerland,
Germany, and Norway devote themselves
to the cultivation of their hair as reso
lutely as a farmer does his crops. Once
a year the merchant, very often an old
woman, arrives in the village, and a brisk
trade is carried ou. The Swiss girls make
, the most, as nature has bestowed on
them an abundant crop of the blonde col
or, which is hardest of all to obtain, and
the climate is evidently propitious to its
growth. The price obtained depends up
-1 on the length of the redundant tresses.
Ilair eight inches lon- is worth twenty
-1 five cents au ounce, while that thirty-six
! inches in length will bring the fortunate
possessor $8 an ounce, and in cases of
1 exceptional beauty and thickness even
i $35 an ounce may be realized.
"In my old age," says Thurlow Weed,
, "I have no care. The only survivors of
. my boyhood playmates and those I knew
1 jn young manhood are Theodore S. Fax
r ton, formerly mayor of Utica, who is two
1 years older than I am; ex-Lieutenant-
Governor Addiso:: Gardiner of Rochester,
- about my own age, and Mr. Hill, a retir
} ed merchant of Boston, !o w living in
t
) Weymouth, Mass. The latter culled on
. me a few weeks ago. We had not met
i before for seventy-two years."
Advices from Cape Coast Castle dated
■ October 17, states that information has
been received there that the king of Ash
antee has killed two hundred young girls
t for the purpose of using their blood for
- mixing mortar to repair one of the State
• buildings. The report of the massacre
was received from a refugee who was to
have been one of the victims. It receives
some confirmation also in the fact that
such wholesale massacres are known to
he a custom with the king.
Another curiosity has been developed
in the Patti visit to this country. Max
Maretzek lias sued her in the sum of $30,-
000 for an alleged breach of contract to
sing in Mexico, twenty years ago. A
revolution in that country prevented the
fulfillment. The great Kufus Choate,
years ago, told a client that man has "as
unbounded a right to sue as he has to lie
whipped in a suit." Whether this case
will illustrate that theory or not remains
to be seen.
