Never before in the history of our heaven-bloat land, have the distress— ing conditions of other nations of the earth served to so thoroughly inspire the reverent gratitude of the American people for bountiful harvests. health and unbounded prosperity at our Thanksgiving anniversary period, as environs us to-day. In all Continental Europe. great de- pression and destitution among the la- boring, manufacturing, mercantile and financial classes prevails to an unusual degree. Floods, storms and disasters have devastated hundreds of homes there and ruined the monetary fortunes of thousands. In far ofl-Janan, hard struggling to free itself from the half barbarisms of the ancient Orient and to attain the new civilization and progress of the Occident, comes the woeful. terrible story of not less than ten thousand of. her people killed outright and swal- lowed up by earthquake. Next, the still more horrible and har- rowingr tale of scores of millions Of Russia’s poor starving for want of food. The sickening story of eating cats, dogs, their horses, cows and all domes- tic animals by the hitherto better classes. and devouring rats, mice and other vermin by the poorer ones. while \ gaunt famine, with her shriveled lips and bone projecting cheeks, sweeps the land with plague and fever and death. The heart sinks and sickens as the appalling condition in the land of the Czar, is contemplated. Sad, sad, in- deed. is the fact to us here in free, abundant America. that while our ten- derest sympathies are aroused by these dire calamities in other lands—“the touch of nature which makes the whole world kin,”-that they are so remote- from us, we are largely denied the pos- sibility of affording them succoring aid and can only render them the poor as- sistance of our sympathy and prayers. Poor Japan, devastated and over- whelmed by earthquake and appalling deaths by fire. Poorer Russia,stricken, torn and decimated by the untold hor- rors of famine. Grand and glorious America ! with wonderful health, mar- vellous prosperity, enormous harvests, abundant peace, labor rewarded, and affluent in all that ennobles and exalt- eth a nation. What abundant cause have we, as a people. to give thanks to Almighty God ' in a. spirit of reverent gratitude for all his unnumbered melcies, to-morrow, 0111" Thanksgiving Day. A Welcome Prophecy. Some time since the Courant gave utterance to the following prophecy which every one who has occasion to go over the New York and New Haven trains to or from New York, will re- joice to see beCOme a realized fact. It would seem that if the rush of passen- ger business on our road continues to augment in the near future as in the near past, Such a withdrawal from the Grand Central depot and tracks, will become inevitable. The Courant re- marks that up to this time the effort in New York to secure the opening of the Harlem River drawbridge during the rush of morning and evening travel has proved a failure, The park com- missioners who have the power to do this are evenly divided on the subject and So it cannot be carried. The hitch adds to the annoyance of a large popu- lation and thereby hastens the day fer a solution of the present problem. It is evident that the Fourth avenue viaduct and Grand Central depot cannot 'much longer accommodate the immense vol- ume of travel that is pouring through there. It remains to be seen what will be done, but it is by no means improba- ble that the union station will be mOVel up 23.13ch Harlem River or that with a friendly separation (room being worth more than company) the Consoli- dated road may retire to a depot of its own on what is now called the Port- cheste: brunch- ~ Thanksgiving. To-morrow being a time-hOnored holiday, in order to give the DAILY GAZETTE employees a well deserved op- portunity to enjoy their gay and fee- tive Thanksgiving turkey, no paper will be issued from this oflice, unless some- thing of- extraordinary interest and im— portance transpires.

That a French critic thinks the Ameri— can system of mixvd schools is respon- sible for the true type of American girl which he _so much admires. It is the American home. not the school mixed or unmixed, and excellent as it- is, that has produced the finest speci- men of womanhood that walks the earth. From childhood she is made the idol of the household. Watched over by father and mother, allowed within proper restriction, full freedom of action, educated so as to develop all her faculties, taught to be self-reli- ant without being bold, and trained in ways of gentleness and kindness, she is beyond all questmn, what all who know and study her admit, the flower and fruit of the highest womanhood.

Times of the 19th publishes a“. cabinet size picture of Dr. R. G. Nolan, formerly of this town. The doctor has been elected healthin- ejector of that city at a salary of $1,000 per year. The Times says: . During his half dozen years of prac- tice in this city, Dr. Nolan has become very familiar Wltll sanitary affairs here. He has a large practice throughout the City and is remarkably successlul as a physician and surgeon. Dr. N olan has never been acting in politics, nor a partisan. Being a freeholdcr and a large tax-payer he may be expected to exercise vigilance in the discuarge of his official duties. Dr. Nolan is in the prime of life and is not afraid of work. He will be able to devote all the time required for the proper discharge of his official duties.

So far, so good, but isnot this thn. same story which has been told to u sufi'ermg and patient people, for the last fifteen years? Another reservoir and all will be well; then came the new pipe-.llne _to make things doubly safe ; .while th1rdly and lastly, a reser- v01r site has been found that will make a sure "'pop.” that will end all troubles, and bring to our souls the comfortin- assurance of Mother Goose : They lived in peace and died in pot-grease For fear that this happy state may not come just now.

We pay thl' money, and are entitled to a fair con- Slderutlon. If one goes down to South Norwalk, he can find out by asking. that their reservoir holds from 770 to to 780 millions of gallons, nearly a two years supply for their wants. That looks like business. Amun very near to our water ad- mimstration says that had it not been for the extension out Of the Borough 11m1ts, to-wit. East N orwalk, the extra thirty thousand dollar pipe line need not have been -laid, and of course no new reservoir Would have to be built. Had we not better sell these pipes to South N orwalk, and give up the bagu- telle of rent which we now receive- from those out of town neighbors and strictly attend to looking alter the water interests of our own people ? It looks to me Mr. Editor that if we want to save ourselves. from financial prostration, there must be a decided change in the public management of this Borough.
