Thank«i{lrlng Day.
It may not be generally
kown that the practice of
appointing an annual thanks
giving originator in New
England though the person
al or tribal rendering of
thanks to the Great Giver of
all good lias existed since
the creation. Thet ru 1 y
%/
ifejszble Christian heart is al
ways thankful for favors,
i whether great or small, and
no creature lives without
abundant cause for thank
fulness, vet many make no

lblessing they daily receive.
-Alt is gratifying, however, to
teee a more general observ
\
unco of the appointed day,
as was the case last week
throughout the whole coun
try, North and South, it
shows a change of sentiment
among the business and J
leading classes which
amounts to a national ac-|
knowledgement of God and
•%dependerc£ orjJjjin for uwfcJ
tinned blessings. To be sure
there is one here and there
whose love of gain seems to
make them forget the All-
Seeing Eye, but they taei»
papers over their front win
dows to hide their uiilliank
fuluess from the eyes of men.
But l this is a good sign.
When men get ashamed to
let the world iseo their sins,
there is hope that they will
soon have at least as much
-iA: ">••"
regard for their Maker.
Some publicly disregard the
day by getting drunk, mak
ing trouble, paying a months
wages, lines and officer's
costs, and leaving wife and
children yery little, if any
thing for which to be thank
-tfneda yT*
w
llow peaceful and happy
would be such a day, if all
%> /
would turn from the world
and its troubles,give thanks
with service to the Giver of
all good, alms to the needy,
and be prepard a t night for
that rest and repose which
an approving conscience,
and a day well spent is sure
to bring? Such was the day
to many. May it soon be
so to all.

tieular. These "orders" arc'
what the officials about the
Department say Congress in
tended bv certain statutes it
has passed, but in many cas
es the talent of ordinary
men fail to see the connec
tion. It has been thecustom
with many newspapers to
print the names of subscrib
ers, and the time when sub
scription ends on each sub
\ scriber's paper but the recent
order subjects paper so mark
to letter postage. It was
a great convenience to pub
lishers and a satisfaction to
subscribers lo have this little
piece of information on each
paper and we cannotseehow
the Department could be in
jured by its continuance.
Very great inconvenience.
and heavy loss in some cases
has resulted from this order
and it may be a move in the
right direction for Congress
men to see that it is rescind

The Democrats of New York
Hold out to the Liquor men in or
der.to carry the election. Cleve
land and Hill are said to have

affair. This scandalous arrange

teat to that party in the next e!ec

How so ? Will the "honest
intelligent people" change their
voting habit or will th« "scanda
lous arrangement" be made with
your party ? A prohibition ex
change saya ; "It is rather a no
table fact that what gave the re
publicans Ohio lost them New
York,—Lager Deer."
So it is a matter of bargain and
sale, and loss and gain, with both.
But say, neighbor, how much
did your party in this State get

men in 1881.
And way, hare they ever paid

Atlanta Gone •' Wet."
Ihe local option election in
Fulton county, including the city
of Atlanta, Ga., last Saturday
went against prohibition b y about
1000, majority. The registration
this year was about 2000 more
than two years ago, and allega
tions ot fraud by the liquor men
have been *made. The negroes
'Hii'** J fiokd lor the saloons
d their votes have turned loose
the demon again upon the h)J' er
to peaceful city, This election
meant more than the result in
Atlanta, The adoption of local
option there two years ago was a
severe blow to the liquor traflic
all over the country. Its repeti
tion would have been a death
blow to the traffic and all that
money and imported speakers
uould do has been done to avoid
such a result. It is a dearly
bought victory to the saloon men,
and our friends should feel proud
of the fight they made against the
combined saloon power of the
liquor interests. The result may
force the issue into State politics
anal no one can foresee to what it
i may lead.

Mr. J. Chainberiain. in faultless
black, with a tender siml© and a
single eye glass, is at the Arlington;
with a English followers, ready
to go to work, very slowly and
deliberately, on the Fisheries ques
tion. A preliminary meeting was
held Wednesday. The frequency of
the sessions will depend entirely
upon the obstacles that may arise in
the course of the negotiations. A
resolution has been unanimously
adopted to k«ep the proceedings of
the negotiators secret until the
conclusion of their work. The
statement is authorized by Socretary
Bayard that articles purporting to
tell what has been dune at any meet
ing arw entirely unauthorized and
purely speculation. Ho aeded that
the public had been fully informed
aa to the position of the Government
in the matter. The subject, ho said,
is two years old, as fur a* this
administration is concerned, and
over a hundred years old as regards
the people of the United States.
One of the features of the Post
master General's, annual report will
be the statemeiii that a Department
by the end of Jiext year will probably
be selfsuppurting. The deficit has
been lesseaed nearly three million
during che past year, and with a con
tin ue.'.i increase in the revenues,
whitfii lust year amounted to about
10 per e,ent and a decrease in the
expenses which was about 3| per
cent, there is every prospect that the
revenues will equal the expenditures
by the end of next year. For the
year ending June 1, lhiSG, the deficit
was over eight million, and for the
year ending June 1, lb.sT, the deficit
was over five million, including, of
course the amount credited to the
Union Pacific railroad for the
transportation of the mails. The
large increase in tho revenues is the
result in part of large additions to
the population of the country and
the activity in business. But it is
lrrgely attributable to the use of the
mails in carrying merchandise.
People who deal in money, either
as borrowers or lenders, can them
selves judge whether there is to be
ease or stringency of money during
the coming month. This year the
most important factor in the case
will bo the possible action of Con
gress on the question of the surplus
in the Treasury. If the Administra
tion and the representatives of the
people are agreed that the very first
duty of the Government is to restore
tho lock-up millions to the channels
of trade, one may expect an advancing
market for the rest of tho year.
Eton tho usual expected January
rises may be anticipated. If. how
ever, there is no disposition shown
to spend money in the Treasury on
works of public utility or for navy
yard defensive purposes, the business
men will be justly disappointed.
Then if Congress elects to plunge
into the interminable debate on tho
taritl and taxation in general before
the surplus is gotten out of the way
the very worst is to be feared.
There seems to be no immediate
danger, however, of any disaster to
the market. It will be several weeks
before tho temper of the
lion and Congress can be guaged.
Operators will hope for the best and
will discount a favorable state of
things pending the meeting of Con
gress.
Fryer, manager of the Arrow
Steamship Company, across the river
at Alexandria, and designer of the
Pocahontas, is a man of manv
schemes. About a year ago Fryer
proposed to construct an immense
catamaran that should be able to go
to *ea and steam up great rivers.
The main feature of this great vessel
was to be an immense theatre,
seating 1,000 persons, but it was to
contain an immense hotel and
that excursion
parties could out i.-ii 111 the g rt at
cities on hot, summer nights 4.wit
ness a theatrical performance as they
steamed over the waves. The first
cost of the boat was to be SOOOO,OOO.
and weekly expenses would be at
least $5,300 per week. Another one
of Fryer's schemes was his steam
lif« boat with wheels, that could run
on land as well as in water. He
claimed that in case of a disaster it
could steam along the beach until
near the wreck and then plunge into
the water, steam out to the sinking
ship, rescue the passengers and then
turn about and plough for land, run
up on the beach to the nearest hotel
where the passengers would find
safety and comfort.
An expedition of civil engineers
and assistants used to work in
Central America left Washington
this week for Greytown, Nicaragua,
to make final location of the
Inter ocean route. The ex
pedition will bo gone six or sight
months. They will complete the
surveys of the route selected on
preliminary surrey. All the prelim
inary field work and part of the
drafting will be done by the 'survey
ing part. Then they will return with
all their data, and the work of pre
paring working plans on which con
tracts for the excavation and the
building of locks and dams will be
let, will be finished. The company
claim the Nicaraguan route to be
much more practicable tLan that
through Panama and that even if De
Lesseps had plenty of money to carri
on hia work, that they could have
.--Lip.s sailing across the lathmus bo
fort- his canal was half finished. The
new organizers Lave plenty of money
for all the work that is to be done
now. It id supplied by a syndicate
of about a hundred wealthy men, all
Americans. Not a share of the stock
has jet b«cn offered for sale.
Convassing lor the offices of the
House of Representatives goes on
amazingly. The principal offices are
those of Clerk* Doorkeeper, Sergeant
ata-Arms and Vostmaster, aad there
has been moro or less talk of
opposition to ail the eld incumbents,
but up to tho present the opposition
has not developed a rival candidate,
except in the case of the Doorkeeper
ship. /I his office has more patronage
than all the others combined. Mr.
Donelson, who was unfortunate in
disappointing many members of the
Forty-ninth Congress, is a candidate
for re-election. Against him are Mr.
Hurt, of Mississippi, who will get a
large Southern vote; Mr. Nicholls,
of Texas, who has a majority of the
Texas delegation to start with; Mr.
Asher iiarnett, of New York, with
a large vote from the North; and
Mr. D. K. lleeder. of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Hurt and tho Northern can
didate, whoever ho may be, will
make it a hard fight for Mr. Donel
son. Mr. Raines, of Rochester, has
been mentioned as a candidate fox
the Clerk's office, but ho has not'yet
appeared in the field.
Blaine made, I understand, $2,000,-
000 from his "Thirty Years in Con
gress. and Lis "Speeches' have bad
quite a respectable sale. With the
exception of Grant, he haw perhaps
done the best financially of &ay of
our statesman who have written
books. Horace Greeley got ten cents
a copy for the first book he nrote
and his "Glance at Europe" ho told
outright for *SOOO. His "Life of
Clay paid the publishers snd his
"American Conflict" would Lave bad
a sale bigger than that of Blaine's
book had ho not sign tho bail bond
for Jefferson Darin. As it was the
first volume, which was published
before that tirue, reached an edition
ol 109,000 copies, and ho was wall
paid for his work in getting up the
two volumes. Bonner paid him a
big price fur his " Recollections of a
Busy Lift* before ho began to write
them, and tLeso were first published
ia tho Ledger aud afterwards put
out in book form. Beecher a whole
book work, however, did not pro
bably par him SIOO,OOO, and had he
been living to-day he would probably
have received throe times as much.
\\ asliington Irving got $250,000 for
tho literary work of his lifetime, and
Ale&ander Stephens, so his private
secretary tells me, received fifty cents
a set for his " History of the War,"'
and as 100,000 copies werer sold his
profits were .$50,000.

'•Judge Avery has acted in Edge
; combe and Halifax iu a manner that
has called out pretly sharp critieesm
from the Tarboro Southern, the last
issue of which says :
"Judge Avery at Halifax last week
again tried hie hand at rapid transit
j and "calendar smashing."' Under
and by his direction a calendar was
made of the civil causes beginning
with Thursday of the first week and
ending Tuesday of the second. But
Fiidav of the first week without the
consent of all suitors or their
court waa adjourned for
the term.
Ilia Honor produced the same
unfavorable impression there that ho
did here. It is getting to be almost
time that Judge Alphonso C. Avery
remembered that court 3 were
instituted and are held for the good
an convenience of the public, and
not for the man who receives $2,500
per annum for presiding."
The last issue of the Scotland
Neck Democrat say:
"Judge adjourned court on
Friday of the first week and thereby
saved* the county several hundred
: dollars and the people as individuals
a great deal in money and time.
Avery is a verv fine judge and a very
fine lawyer. He got through with
the business of the court in less
' than half the time heretofore con
sumed to go through the docket.
This speaks well fer the judge and
well for tue county."
