Katienal Thanksgiving* • President Hayes has issued the fol­ lowing proclamation: The recurrence at that season at which it ia the habit of our people to make devont and public confession of their constant depend­ ence upon Divine favor for all the good gifts of life and happiness, and of public peace and prosperity, exhibits in the record of the year abundant reasons for bur gratitude and thanksgiving. Exuberant harvests, product­ ive mines, ample crops o£ the staples of trade and manufactures, have enriched the country, the resources thus furnished to our reviving industry and expanding commerce hastening the day when discords and distresses, through the length aud breadth of the land, will, un­ der the contiuued favor of Providence, have given way to confidence, and energy and as­ sured prosperity. , , Peace with all Nations has remained un­ broken; domestic tranquillity has prevailed, and the institutions of liberty and justice, which the wisdom and justice of our fore­ fathers established remain the glorv and de­ fease of their children. R 3 The general prevalence of the blessings of health throughout our wide land bas made more conspicuous the sufferings and sorrows which the dark shadow of tbe pestilence has cast upon a portion of our people. This heavy affliction, even, the Divine Ruler bas tempered to the suffering communities with an universal sympathy aud succor which have fioWeu bo their relief, and the whole Nation may rejoice in the unity ot spirit in our peo­ ple by which they cheerfully share another's .burdens. Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the linlted States, do appoint ihursday,'the 28th day of November next, as 1 • day ot N ationul Thanksgiving and Prayer, aud I earnestly recommend, that, withdrawing themselves from secular cares and labors, the ILLINOIS STATE NEWS.

This Is tbe amount of taxes collected by him in three years, 1871,1872 and 1873, to pay inter­ est on $200,000 bonds issued by Warren Coun­ ty in 1871 in aid of the Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis Railroad. The payment of the interest was restanined by injunction while the funds ^ere )n ^fr. Parry's possession. Tbe case was taken to the State 8upreni« Court, which declared the issue of bonds to be illegal. An appeal was taken to the Su­ preme Court of the United States, which re­ versed the decision of the State Court, and decided that the bonds must be paid, prin­ cipal and interest. ' 6 ' .

Hale has recently made some very sensible and ]>eprtinent re^ marks--we hope none will consider them impertinent!--in reference tp the loud harsh tones of American women in conversation. He attributes it in a measure to the bad training in our large school-rooms, where the children arc required to " speak up!" and pro­ ceed to do so after a fashion not easily forgotten. The habit of lotid speaking may with truth be American, and is not con­ fined, by any means, to the women and children. The volume and harshness of our average tones, as a people, can iiever be appreciated save by him who has studied the phenomenon. The mother speaks to the daughter in the next room in a voice that would send the interrogation or command clear across the street. The father calls to the boys to " come in to breakfast," in stentorian tones that startle the poor timid echoes slumbering on the sides of the buildings, and can be plainly fceaAi throughout the whole neighbor­ hood. The boys snarl at each other in their vexation till you involuntarily look for their four legs, so much does their language sound like the growl of angry dogs. The young farmer, driv­ ing his halfibroken steers along the road, shouts and yells and screams, at the shrieking youngsters, as if they had no ears, or were three-quarters of a mile distant and running like mad through the bushes. Indeed, taking us all in all, we are a noisy set^ Even the hens, it is said, cackle louder here than in any other land under heav<^, and as to the pigs squealing louder than the pigs of any oth^r country do, no sane man would think of denying, it for a moment. / : But soberly, friends, is it not about time for us to learn manners in respect to this point of behavior? Is it not time for as to learn the proper use of the voice and the methods of training by which it ean be made sweet and pleasant to the ear? Why should not parents make a point of this in the edu­ cation of their children, and give them at least one delightful accomplishment? The soft, gentle, and low voice, which poor old Lear found so dear in his Cor­ delia, and so excellent a thing in wo­ man, is not only a mark of good breed­ ing, but has esthetic and moral rela­ tions that are not enough regarded.-- Golden Bute. 'hlri-Class Mali rm»Ui r-~H*w It Xfty Be Registered. Postmaster Palmer, of Chicago, has recently issued a circular giving in­ formation of general interest regarding the postage aftd registration of thira- class mail matter. The regulations are as follows: No package of such matter can be received until a proper examination can jshow It to be entitled to transmission as such matter. Great care must be exercised to prevent the registration and admission into the mails of matter that is uumailabl6, and also to pre­ vent tbe admission at tjnrd-class rates of mat­ ter upon which postage is properly charge­ able at first-class urates under existing laws and regulations. Postmasters should require p^cks'^s to be put up sscursly^ so us to safely bear transportation, but not in such a manner as to prevent an examination of their contents, either at the mailing office or at the office of delivery. Matter offered for registration in violation of these requirements will be treated as now provided by lav/ and the postal regulations. Both postage and registry fee must be fully .prepaid, with post­ age Btamt s affixed to the packages. Regis­ tered packages of third-class matter will, as far as practicable, be treated in the mails, the same as registered letters. The name and address of the sender must be indorsed, either hi writing or in print, upon each package of third-cla6s matter offered for registration; and there may be added to this a brief description, in writing or in print, of the number and names of the articles inclosed. No additional written matter, except the ad­ dress, is permitted by law, A request to re­ turn may also be printed, but to write such re­ quest would, by law, sqbject the package to postage at iirst-class (letter) rates. Unclaimed registered packages of third class matter will be treated tbe same as unclaimed registered letters. . "v* tv Third-class matter is divided into two di­ visions, as lollows: The firstdivislon includes pamphlets, occasional publications, transient newspapers, magazines, books, periodicals, handbills, posters, sheet music (printed), prospectases, maps, proof-sheets, corrected proof-6heets and regular publications de­ signed primarily for advertising purposes or for free circulation at nominal rates. The second divi«ion includes printed cards and blanks, lithographs, prints, chromo-lltho- graplis, engravings, photographs, and stereoscopic views, book manuscripts, uusealed^circulars, seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots aiii scions, flexible "patterns, samples of ores, metals, minerals and merchandise, sample cards, photo­ graphic paper, letter-envelopes, postal envel­ opes and wrappers, unprinted cards, plain and ornamental paper, cardboard, or other flexible material, and all other mailable matter of tbe third-class, not herein enumerated. The rate of postage for articles of the first 4ivisioa, is one cent for every two ounces, or fractional part thereof. The rate of postage for articles in the second division is one cent for each ounce, or fractional part thereof. The fee for registration Is ten cents for each package; tiie weight of each package not to exceed lour pounds. Extravagance at Funerals. A movement started by a few gentle­ men at Spring Grove to put an end to ostentation at funerals should receive the encouragement of all sensible peo­ ple. Nothing could be in worse taste than display in the presence of death. A few months ago a funeral on one of the streets of the West End came under our observation. The husband and head of the house had died. It was a very moderate cottage in which husband, wife and children had lived for some years, toiling hard, for they were industrious people, for the sheer­ est necessities of life. But being dead, it seemed to the wife that her late husband must have as grand a funeral as her more opulent neighbors. So there was, in addition to the minister and undertaker, a band and twenty hacks, and a concourse of people drawn together to witness the funeral of a man who had not in all his life attracted as much attention as in go­ ing out of it. The hats of the pall­ bearers had the regulation crape, and their hands were ouverod with the usual black gloves. There were flow­ ers, too--not inappropriate as testi­ monials of affection--and whatever was needed to give to the funeral the prop­ er exaltation as a social event. But as the heavily-plated casket, borne by the stout pall-bearers, came across the threshold of the door into the street, one was involuntarily attracted by the rusty sign of 44 Washing and Ironing," Which "was nailed to we side of the house, and had not been taken in.-- Cincinnati Commercial. --'tofree years ago, a young man graduated from the West Point Milita­ ry Academy, and came west.

' 'T ' Nw Yolk, Oct, 27.* ' Between six and nine o'clock |Ws morning masked burglars entered t|^J|lapiattan Sav- Ines Bank building, corner* Broad way and Blceeker street, and, after harfdeufling the janitor, made him, under threats of instant death, reveal the combination of the sale to them and deliver up the keys of the bank. They rifled the vault of presumably a large amount ot moner, as twenty tin boxes known to have contained bills were toynjT"on the floor quite empty. » i ' 9 At 9:20 o'clock, Wen^ei KqJflpftft^Jfho keeps a barber shop In ftie ba^e<neut,-wa» sterilcd hv the 8ppear.,ncp at, tU<*' * it!|on»pnf- stairs of the janitor, Lout* W* rt'A wuifeJvii 1- fright and excitement, with hifcilfeuflifSnd- cuffed tightly and the * key 0f * thv^tknk clutched between them. He was onlv Half- dressed, and gasped, "Thieves! Robbers! Come and seel" The barber acymnpapied him into tbe. bank, and saw the d<*oi s «&Sbe great vault wide open and the floor littered with tin boxes, all emptied of their contents. Burglars' tools were scattered ip every direc­ tion. " The barbea notified .(tie, raMeef gwho soon appeared. •' The janitor's statement was to the effect that at 6:10, while he was dressing, seveu masked men suddenly rushed into his room and handcuffed liim aud his wife, and de­ manded the keys of the bank. His TBother- \in-law, an old lady, who was present , screamed, when the burglars drew pistols and threat­ ened instant death to any one who . made noise. Tliey then carried hirn into an_ ad­ joining room and forced him'to (leaver up the keys of the street doora. With these four of the party went down stairs, leaving three on guard in his room. Th ee hi^ftrs passed, aud Wertel heard a clock strike nine; just then one of the men frdm dototi stairs returned, and after a wnlspfered con­ sultation, they all left. After he 'w gained his courage he went to the barber­ shop a6 described. Wertel admitted to Superintendent, Walling that he trap given the combination of the unlocking, of the doors of the vault to the robbers. He gave it und<'r threats of instant death, but he failed to 6 i iite how he got possession of the combinatiou. His wife corroborated his ritoiy of the attack, but said there were only flye men in the party. Mr. L<nt, a Broadway merchant, passed the bank soon after seven a. m., and saw a youmr man dusting |lfc shelves and desks inside. It is supposed tlifs was one of the burglars, endeavoring to m]ftk£ things look as natural as possible. Officers Van Norton and Tully said they looked through the bank window between six p.nd seven o'clock, and all was quiet. The vault can be seen from the street. Inside tbe mala doors of the safe vault the burglars found the space with shelves, upon which were tin, boxes filled with jewelry, silverware and val­ uable papers. These they emptied. They over­ looked one box on a back shelf, containing 150,000 in valuables, the property of Edward Schell, President of the bank. The open space, six feet between the main door of tbe i vault and the door of the inner safe,, gave the butt glars ample space to work in. They pried open one compartment containing $11,000 in 6n»all bills. They next forced the bottom drawer, but got nothing of value therefroi#» The wedges were found in the upper compart­ ments, which they were trying to force when they were evidently disturbed. A dozan drills, a sledge-hammer, three sectional jimmies and other tools were found scattered around: TJre officers of the bank admit that the Janitoi? possessed the combination to the vault. It was given him months ago, eo that he could take out the books and make ready for busi­ ness. ; The officers of the bank are Edwartf Schell, President and Treasurer; ijf. F. Alvord, Secretary. The following is the bank officers' statement: " The Manhattan Savings Institution on the morning of Sunday, Oct. 27, IE robbed of securities to the amount of *2,757. 700, of which t2,505,700 were registered in the name of the institution, and are not negotia­ ble, and $108,000 are made payable to it, and $73,000 are in coupon bonds and $11,000 in . cash. For the purpose of preventing loss to> depositors, it is deemed advisable that uo pay­ ment be made without sixty days' noticei' as provided by the by-laws of the institution." A New York special of the 28th says: > / • 4 44It is asserted, despite the officials'retP cence, that at least sixty bank-managers in- this city intrust the safe combinations to their Janitors, 14 A*run on the bank seems improbable, as only 130 of the 17,000 depositors have notified, the bauk of an intention to withdraw their accounts. 41 As to losses, the bank officers say the de­ positors, with one exception, had no realiza* ble valuables in their boxes, and their papers and securities were left undisturbed. One man claims a loss of $7,500 in notes. The burglars, therefore, got only, $ll,000 in cash, and $87,500 in securities that can be realised upon when the burglars dare risk detection." --A butcher complained to a lawyefr that somebody's doer was in the habt$ of stealing meat from his cart, and asked what he should do about it. The lawyer replied: 44Prosecute the owner of the dog, of course." 44 But," said the' butcher,44 it is your dog." 441 will pay the bill," said the lawyer, bringing nis hand down suddenly on the place where his pocketbook was supposed to be, 44 if you,will tell how much the meat was worth." The butcher replied. 44 About $L'* 44 All right," rejoined the lawyer, 44 hand over $1 to me and we shall be square.
