The First Thanksgiving Day,
A. D. 1622.
-_.——-
BY MARGARET J. PRESTON.
“And now,” said the Governor, gazing abroad
on the piled up store
As the sheaves that dotted the clearings and
covered the meadows o’er,
“’Tls meet that we render praises because of
this yield of grain ;
’I‘ls meet that the Lord of the harvest be
thanked for His sun and rain.
“And therefore, I William Bradford (by the
grace of God to-day. .
And the franchise of this good people), Gov-
ernor of Plymouth, say
Thro' virtue of vested power—ye shall gather
with one accord,
And hold, in the month November, thanks-
giving with the Lord.
{‘Hc hath granted us peace and plenty, and
the quiet we‘ve sought so long;
He hath thwarted the wily savage, and kept
him from doing as wrong; _
And unto our Feast the Sachem shall be bid-
den that he may know .
We worship his own Great Spirit who maketh
the harvests grow.
“So shoulder your matchlocks, masters; there
is hunting of all degrees;
And fishermen, take your tackle, and scour
for spoil the seas;
And maidens and dames of Plymouth, your
delicate crafts employ,
To honor our First Thanksgiving, and make
it a Feast of joy?
“We fail of the fruits and dainties so close to
our hand in Devon ;
Ah, they are the lightest losses we suffer for
sake of lreavenl
But see, in our open clearings, how golden
thc melons lie;
Enrich them with sweets and spices, and give
us the Pumpkin-Pie I”
So bravely the preparations went on the Au-
tumn Feast; »
The dear and the bear were slaughtered ;
wild game from the greatest to least
Was heaped in the Colony cabins; brown
home-brew served for wine,
And the plum and the grape of the forest,
for orange and peach and pine.
At length came the day appointed ; the snow
had begun to fall,
But the clang from the meeting‘house bclfry
rang merrily out for all,
And summoned the folk of Plymouth, who
hastened with glad accord
To listen to Elder Brewster as he fervently
thanked the Lord.
In his seate sat Governor Bradford; men,
matrons, and maidens fair;
Miles Standish and all his soldiers, with
eorselet and sword,were there;
And sobbing and tears and gladness had each
in its turn the sway,
For the grave of the sweet Rose Standish
o‘ershadowed Thanksgiving Day.
And when Massasoit, the Sachem, sate down
with his hundred braves,
And ate of the varied riches of gardens and
woods and waves,
And looked on the granaried harvest—with a
blow of his brawny chest,
He muttered “The good Great Spirit loves
His white children best?”
And then, as the Feast was ended,wilh grave-
ly official air,
The Governor drew his broadsword out from
its scebbard there,
And smiling the trencher ,near him, he cried
in heroic way.
“Hail! Pic of the Pumpkin! I dub thee Prince
of Thanksgiving Day I“

The Postmaster-General’s Report
Postmaster General James’s report is re-
markable for its progressive and reformatory
tone on all the problems of his great depart-
ment at the earliest moment to the policy of
entire self-support from its own revenues,
the reformation of the system of appoint-
ments to the civil service. the reduction
1 .n two of three years of letter postage
.170 cents, the increase of the rates for
l and fourth-class matter (books and
..-- :handise), the reduction of the fee for
money-orders to five cents, the introduction
of a postal-order for small remittances to be
sold for three cents, the extension of the
carrier system to more cities, and the intro-
duction of postal savings banks. He is not
equally urgent on all these points, and he
does not dwell upon the savings bank system
at any length. On every other point he pre-
sents his reasons forcibly and in a way to
command attention, His reportis dated No-
vember 15, and its general newspaper style
suggests that it emanates from an office in
which journalism is well represented.
The following table covers the interesting
statistics for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1881:

The systsm of registering letters is now in
excellent condition and has nearly doubled its
returns for the past year, a gratifying fact, as
the fees more than pay the expenses. The
registration of third and fourth class matter
however, does not pay, although it is a pop—
ular feature of the service. The money-order
system made remittances for‘pver $150,000,-
000 during this year, paid all expenses and
something over. There were 7,663,000 re—
mittances and only 77 cases of alleged loss,
the disposal of each so far as reached will be
given in detail in the appendix. The inter-
national system discloses to what extent our
immigrants remit to the old country—about
$2,500,000 more than they remit to rrs.
The greatest difference is with Italy, which
sent us- only $13,548 and was paid over
$238,000. Mr. James approves of the bills
introduced in congress last year turning into
the treasury money-orders unclaimed after
five years, raising the limit of the order from
$50 to 8100 and reducing the fee to five
cents for all orders under $5; also that
postmasters be paid three cents for each
order, instead of one-third of the fees and :1»
per cent. commission. Tire proposed postal
order for sums less than $5 is an order on
bank-note paper, with figures stamped on it
to be punched out ; thus, to represent $2.84,
punch out 2 in the dollar place, 8 in the
'dime place and 4 in the cent place. No re.
cord will be kept of“ transmitter or payee,
no duplicate will be issued if it’s lost; it
will be issued for three cents, payable within
three months, or after that time, if the fee is
paid over again. Thus it could not be available
as currency, being for a fixed sum, and the
sendcrrléan, if he likes, pay two cents more
and hsve all the safeguards of the regular
money order.
The postmaster general reviews the history
of the postal service from the beginning of
the government to show that almost exclu-
sively during the 50 years the department
depended on its revenue for its support.
With the first development of the railroad
system of the countrypamc in the demand,
and with three cent postage the necessity,
for a treasury appropriation. The demand
grew till in 1860 the deficit amounted to ever‘
$10,000,000. Mr. James looks at this policy
solely from the point of view of a postmaster
general anxious to make his department
self-sustaining, but it was part of that great
policy of building up the West by which the
North was ultimately to meet and overwhelm
the pro-slavery and sectional sentiment of
the Sovth. Everything which would fill the
West with people from the North and from
Europe Was encouraged, with this end in
vicw,——aud a generous postal service was one
of the means to this result. There is no
reason, however, why the government should
not now return to a self,sustaining system,
especially as the transcontinental service will
bear a continually rising proportion of rev-
enue to expenditure. After the war, the
effort at retrenchment was; spasmodic, but
the contractors had become accustomed to
great appropriations from the treasury and
could not be shaken off. Steamship builders
bred the unblushing corruption, straw bid-
ding and excessive expenditures over the star
routes became prevalent, until, says Mr.
James, “ it is a fact which cannot be denied,
that the scandels attending the administra-
tion of the post-office department during the
past quarter of a century have been very
serious in their consequences. The respon-
slbility for this evil rests largely upon the
legislative branch of the government, because
the power to remedy it could have been ex-
erted at any time."
Mr. James marks the constant rise in the
railroad service, which cost the last year
$11,411,120 ; he thinks it ought to be reduc-
cd, and says he is taking measures to ascer-
tain if a net reduction cannot be affected.
But he evidently does not expect it can be
reduced, while the government attempts to
carry merchandise in the mails at the present
rates of postage. The postmaster—general’s
policy apparently would be to redrree the
expense of the railway mail service If possi-
ble; second, to raise the postage on third
and fourth class matter, mostly merchandise,
which is now carried by the government at
a dead loss ; third, to reduce the postage on,
letters to two cents. The principle underly-
ing the postal business is the utility to any
government of the dissemination'of popular
information; merchandise does not come
under that head and certainly ought not to
be carried at the expense of the letter mail,
as is now the case. The service ought to be
practically self-sustaining before the reduc-
,liou is attempted, for the increase in letters
would not be likely to make up the lost cent
scoregof three years, unless it took place in a
period of unusual business activity.
Mr. James recommends the increase of
salary for auxiliary letter carriers from $400
to $600 for the first year's service,and to $700
for as long as they mav serve in that capac-
ity; the increase of the salaries of the three
assisthnt postmaster-generals to $5,000 each,
and of the salaries of the postmasters at
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and St. Louis
to $7,000, and at Cincinnati, San Francisco,
New Orleans and Baltimore to $6,000, it be-
ing new $4,000 at all these cities. He re-
commends legislation allowing fourth class
matter to hear such marks, required by com-
mercial usage, as will indicate prices, so that
the privileges will not" be valneless, as now,
for the transmission of samples. Upon the
reform of the civil service, he says:
Careful observation in this department and
elsewhere has but confirmed my conviction
of the great public benefit to be derived from
conducting the public business on business
principles. Some method of relief must be
provided from the overwhelming pressure
for appointment to clerkships and other
subordinate positions and from the equal
pressure for the removal of capable and ex-
perieuced assistants to make room for those
who are not more competent. The public
service is a public trust to which every ci-
tizen may properly aspire, and the public in-
terest plainly demands the: admission to it
should not depend upon personal favor, be-
cause such favor cannot well bc impartial
and because a system of appointment by
mere influence may be readily perverted to
the promotion of private interests and per-.
sonal ambition. Appointment by influence
naturally results in making the tenure of
office depend not upon fidelity and efficiency
in the discharge of official- duty, but upon
the assiduous cultivation of the favor of a
patron. Such a tenure is incompatible with
the self-respect of the incumbent, and the
service must necessarily suffer from the de-
cline of its morale. ‘But the evil consequen-
ces cannot be limited to the public service ;
they affect all political action, the purity and
vigor of the government, and the national
character itself. The question, therefore, is
one of far higher importance-than that of the
comparative fitness of clerks in the employ-
ment of the government, and really concerns
the character and success of republican
institutions. The first step, in my judgment,
toward the relief of the appointing officers
and the promotion of the greater efficiency
and economy of the civil service would be a.
method of minor appointment, which should
be independent of personal or partisan in-
fluence. In some important government
offices of which I have had personal knowl-
edge, iron 11 system is already in operation.
In those ofiices rniunr- appointments are dr-
termincd solely by proper qualifications,
ascertained by impartial tests open to all up-
plicants upon equal terms. The great suc-
cess which has attended this method of se-
lection proves its pacticability, while the
good results, both in the service and in the
character of the officers thus selected de-
monstrate its value. The extension :of this
method under uniform conditions is earnestly
to be desired. both to correct familiar evils
in the public service itself and to remove the
still greater evils which spring from them.
In my opinion, the same general principles
should govern the selection and retention of
employee in this department. The public is
best served by honest, and experienced and
competent officers, and changes: therefore
should be made carefully and only for re"-
sons affecting ofilcial conduct. My views
upon this subject are the result of prolongcd
official experience, and I am persuaded that
the practical application of these principals
would promote public morality, increase the
economy and efficiency of the public service,
and assuage the fury of party spirits, against
which Washington warned the country as its
chief peril.
Ho Came Down.
The following is told of James R. Randall,
editor of the Augusta, GIL. C’krom‘cla and
Constitutionalz'at :
He attended preaching at acolored church
in the country, and had in his pocket 3 silver
half dollar, just the ticket fare back to An-
gusta. At the conclusion of his sermon the
minister zordered a collection for his own
benefit. ”Af course,” said he, “I ’spec!s
every pussorr to give somethin’; but is told
dat Mr. Thomas up the lane yandcr had some
turkeys stole Friday night. - I don’t want
any man whohad a. ban' in stealin’ dem tur-
keys to put any money in do hat.” When
the hat reached Randall not a man had de-
nied, and the preacher’s eyes were on him.
His half dollar went into the but.
Mr. Stedman’s “ Poe."—This elegant littl
volume, in its hundred or so tiny pages, con-
tains much, a just and discriminating criti-
cism of Poe’s genius and work, and an ac-
count, which is at once kindly and just.
His‘errors and sins, which in truth were
quite serious enough, have been exaggerated.
0n the other hand, apologies have been made
for him which really strike at all social mor-
allties. Mr. Stcdman holds the balance, it
seems to us, firmly and fairly. We may
quote a fine passage from the concluding
chapter: “ He loved his share of pain, and
was an instance of the fact that man is the
one being that takes delight in the tragedy
of its own existence, and’ for whom joy is
deepest when it springs from woe. Wander-
ing among the graves of those he had cher-
ished, invoking the spectral midnight skies,
believing himself to be the Qrestcs of his
race. in all this he was fulfiling his nature)?

Bayview Asylum furnishes a clinching ar-
gument in behalf of the cause of temperance.
The trustees of that almshousc report that
much tlrclarger portion of the inmates found
their way there through being reduced to
penury and incapacity by the immoderate
use of intoxicating drink. Some of them
were once prosperous merchants; many had
friends and relatives whose patience has been
exhausted. Many are incurable lunatics, im.
beciles, epilept‘ics—rum victims all. Many
might still be in the prime of strength and
manhood, self-supporting, earning decent
livings for themselves and their families;
brrt the infatuation of drink makes them
paupers and compels the community to be
taxed for their support. It would be an in-
teresting subject of inquiry to learn how
much of this tax is recouped to the commu-
nity in the shape of licences ps-rid by liquor
dealers, wholesale and retail. They are not
responsible for all drunkenness, by any
means; but they certainly are for many of
the burthens which drunkenness lays upon
the community.
Nor MY Busrnass.——A wealthy man in St.
Louis was asked to aid in a series of temper-
ance meetings, but he scornfully refused.
After being further pressed, he said:
“ Gentlemen, it is not my business."
A few days after, his wife and two daugh-
ters were coming home in the lightning ex-
press. In his grand carriage, with liveried
attendants, he rode to the depot, thinking
of ”the morrow. Harkl did some one say,
“‘Accident P" There are twenty-five railroads
centering in St. ;Louis. If there has been an
accident it is not likely it has happened on
the—and Mississippi Railroad. Yet it
troubles him. “ It is his business" now.
The horses are stopped on the instant, and
upon inquiring he finds it has occurred
twenty-five miles distant, on the——and
Mississippi. He telegraphs to the Superin-
tendent :
“ I will give you five hundred dollars for an
extra engine."
The answer flashes back “ No.”
“I will give you a thousand dollars for an
engine.”
“ A. train with surgeons and nurses has
already gone forward, and we have no oth-
er."
With white face and anxious brow the
man paced the station to and fro. That is
his business now. In half an hour, perhaps
which seemed to him half a century, the train
arrived. He hurried toward it, and in‘ the
tender found the mangled and lifeless re-
mains of his wife and one of his daughters.
In the car following lay his other daughter,
with her daintv ribs crushed in, 'and her
precious life oozing slowly away.
A quart of whiskey, which was drank fifty
milesaway, by a railroad employs, was the
cause of the catastrophe.
Who dares sayjof this tremendous ques-
tion, “ It is not my business ?"
The Foo of Southern Social Life.
The insidious foe of American social life,
and, regret it as we may, the especial foe of
social life, is the apparent and undenied
tendency to languishing luxury and effomi-
nancy among the well—to-do young women
of our southern cities and large tolvns.
Young women, gently nurtured, brought up
without a care to rufile tne peaceful happi—
ness of their lrves, do not realize how this
mania for expensive pleasures and a life of
alternate idleness and amusement is destroy-
ing their health, abolishing true marriage,
feeding the flame of gross sensuality and in-
temperance among young men and saddening
the hopes of the best parents in the land.
Some ofsthem will never know in this world.
Thousands of good-hearted young girls are
sacrificed every year, when a little wise and
loving guidance could have saved them, but
parents are oftentimes too reticent, too dil-
atory, too much afraid of circumscribing
theirenjoyrnents, even though they know the
lurking danger therein. But we feel that they
should be warned that unless they change
this mode of life they will pass away like
the flowers of J une,—bud, blossom, bloom
and die,—aud a more hardy and resolute
class occupy their places. American society
is beginning to grow sensible and progressive
and it will discard every class of trifiers,
male or female, all those who do no work,
as the forests shed their withered leaves.
Let them awake from their social dream of
indulgence; learn to live out of doors; to
build up their health; to cultivate more
simple taste in dress—not necessarily niggard
or severely plain in quality of stylishness,
but with true comfort and with due regard
to the inexorable demands of sanitation;
study domesitic economy; study social skill
and tact; fit themselves for the noblest po-
sitions ever yet offered their sex, and learn
that a true, womanly southern woman is the
jewel of our civilization, the soul of our pur-
est life—not the tinseled and bcdizuencd
figure of dissipation and decay.
A Pb ysiciun’s Testimony.
The Illustrated Christian Weekly says:
“ In view of what has been said recently
in a good many quarters about the evils of
cigarette smoking by the young, the question
may be aptly raised whether their elders do
not owe them the moral effect of :examplc
and precept? Andjtbe further question may
be asked, whet her posterity has no claims
that smokers are bound to respect ‘2 A Lon-
don plrysieiau hours this forcible testimony:
‘In no instance is the sin of the father more
strikingly VISIIutI upon his children than in
the sin of tobacco—smoking. 'i‘hc eucrvation
the lrypochondriasis, the hysteria, the insan-
ity, the dwarfish deformities, the consump-
tion, the suffering lives and early deaths of
the children of inveterate smokers, bear
ample testimony to the feebleness and un-
soundness of constitution transmitted by
those abdieted to this pernicious habit.”

Bo—o——-—
Boat my Sheep.
An apostle recommends “speaking the
truth in love,” but some preachers overlook
the words “in love” when they read the text.
One of these ministers. after preaching a
flagellating sermon, was approached by a
brother and requested to preach from the
text, “Lord, thou Knowest all things; thou
knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto
him, Beat my sheep.” "No, no!” said the
pastor. “You are mistaken, my brother.
He said, ‘Feed my sheep.’ ” , “Ah did he ?”
said the old man, with a searching look into
the pastor‘s face, “I thought mebbe you read
it, ‘Beat my sheep 1’ " ' The pastor saw the
point, and reformed his practice. If the
Sunday congregation is small, it is just the
way to keep it so to beratc those who do
come to the sanctuary. If only a few come
to the prayer meeting, to lash them for the
delinquency of the absentees will effectually
alienate them. It is better is to throw the
cudgel away, and feed well the sheep who

According to the reports sent out from the

agriculture, which reports are substantially
corroborated by the census returns, there are
7,600,000 persons engaged in farming in this
country; the total value of farms and farm

Grandpa’s Whiskers.
Grandpa likes to kiss wee Sallie;
She says no,
Says his whiskers thick and bushy
Prick her so.
Grandpa's head is smooth and shiny
0n the top, '
Where the hair began to thin, and
Would not stop.
Grandpa kisses; Sallie questions,
So ’tis said,
“ Grandpa, why not put your whiskers
On your head P ”

Medical Advice.
Take the open air.
The more you take the better;
Follow natural laws
To the very letter.
Let the physio go
To the bay of Biscay;
Let alone the gin,
The brandy and the whiskey.
Freely {exercise-
Keep your spirits cheerful;
Let no dream of sickness
Make you ever fearful.
Eat the simplest food,
Drink the pure cold water .
Then you will:be well,
Or at least you ought to.

An electric signal apparatus on a French
railway causes the blowing of a steam whis-
tle upon a locomotive approaching a danger
signal. The engineer is thus warned. This
apparatus isffound valuable in fogs and snow-
storms, when ordinary signals often escape
notice.
Some time agt

penetrate in water to a greater m.,..- .
about 125 feet. More recently, however, M.
Asper has exposed more sensitive photo-
graphic plates at a depth of 300 feet under
water, and the traces of light were distinctly
left on the plates. Light must therefore
penetrate clear water at least 300 feet, while
rays so feeble as to escape detection by any
means at our command—and yet so powerful
as to exert an influence upon some forms of
sub-axueous life—may reach still greater
forms.
The President of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers, Mr. R. H. Thurston,
points out three fields for inventions, in
which success must mean fame and fortune.
The first is some plan for producing electric-
ity, without loss, directly from burning coal,
with no intervention of special and costly
apparatus such as is now employed. The
worker in the second field must find a plan
to produce the soft light of the firefly in such
a manner as to be a practical and commercial
success. leeent progress has nearly solved
this problem. The third great field for in-
vention is the navigation of the air.
Prof. Stillmen has excavated, at Gnosso,
in the Crete, the remains of what he supposes
to be the historical labyrinth famous from
the story of Theseus and the lMinataur.
Concerning the moon’s effect on tides, the
Aslonomer Royal for Ireland recently stated
that, while the day is gradually lengthening
through lunar action on tides, the earth re-
acts on the moon and drives it away farther
and farther. Looking backward, the moon
must have been nearer and nearer the earth,
and at one epoch in the remote ages of the
past—perhaps about 50,000 of years ago—
the two bodies must have been very close
together. Then the day was but three hours
long instead of twenty-four. At that dis-
tant period, the earth rotated once every
three hours, and the moon revolved with it
in the same time. So near was the moon
that, if there had been oceans in those days
as now, the tides must have been 216 times
as great as at the plesent time; and, ris'ng
to an immense height, would have swept
over the whole of England.
Animal life in the Sahara is somewhat
peculiar to the region, and, according to M.
Vogt, the traveller is struck with the absence
of all bright colors in the animals of the
desert. As a rule, their hue approaches that
of the ground. and the adaptation is most
remarkable in birds, reptiles, grasshoppers,
etc. Black and white exist in some animals
—for instance. the male ostrich—which have
nothing to fear from enemies; and a single
exception to the rule occurs among insects—-
the Coleoptera are nearly all black, To
explain the existence in safety of these in-
sects whose color must make them conspic-
nous, M. Vogt states that they feign death
on approach of danger and in that state
closely resemble the excrements of gazelles,
goats and sheep. This description, with their
disagreeable odor, gives them suflicient pro-
tection. The general color of the ground in
the desert is, of course, that of sand.
The number of varictiespf idsects is vastly
greater than that of all other living creatures.
The oak supports 450 species of insects, and
200 are found in the pine, Humboldt, in
1849, calculated that bet ween 160,000 and
170,000 species were preserved in collections
but recent essimates place the present number
at about 750,000 species.
It is a very general belief that great burial
places exert a noxious influence, which must
render the localitres very unhealthy as places
of residence. This idea is shown to be a
mistake one by thc'results of an inquiry into
the sanitary condition of the cemeteries of
Paris. The composition of the air in the
cemeteries is reported to be indistinguishable
from that of arable lands.
At the Crystal Palace, London, a second
international electrical exhibition is to follow
closely on the heels of the first at Paris.
The objects to be exhibited are chiefly
comprised in these-classes: Apparatus used
for the production and transmission of elec-
tricity ; magnets, natural and artificial ;
mariners’ compasses; lightning conductors;
and applications of electricity—to telegraphy
and the transmission of sounds, to the pro-
ductibn of ,heat, to lighting and the produc-
tion of light, to the service of lighthousesand
signals, to apparatus giving warning, to
mines, railways, and navigation, to military
art, to fine arts, to-electro-chemistry and
chemical adts, to the production and trans-
mission of motive power, to mechanicrl arts,
to surgery and medicine, to horology, to as-
tronomy. to meterelogy, to geodesy, ' to ag-
ricultute, to apparatus for registering, and to
domestic uses. It is expected that the exhi-
bition will prove much more attractive to
- Americans than that at Paris.
One of the Russian journals relates to its

Mark Twain has written a new book, “The
Prrnce and the Pauper,” which is said to be
the best of his works. It will be sold solely
by subscription, and therefore will be a boom
for agents.
Here is an item regarding one of the des-
titute districts of Texas, which tells its own
story: “‘Herded, Iariated and belied by
Satan’ was the ranchman’s phrase by which
a Texan described to a missionary of the
American Sunday School Union the moral ,
condition of the community in which he
lived. ‘Then,’ said the missionary, ‘I must
go to work;’ and though another man said
they had ‘ no use for a Sunday school,’ he
soon organized one there—in Trav’ " . ‘
