Thanksgiving Proclamation.
Washington, October 27.—In ac
cordance with a practice at once wise
and beantiful, we have been accuss
touted, as the year is drawing to a
close, to devoto an occasion to hum
ble expression of our thanks to Al
mighty God for the ceaseless and
distinguished benefits bestowed up
on us as a nation, and for His favors
and protection during the closing
year. Amid the rich and free enjoy
ment of all our advantages we should
not forget the source from whence
they are derived and the extent of
our obligations to the Father of all
mercies.
We have full reason to renew our
thanks to the Almighty God for fa
vors bestowed upon us during the
past year, by his continuing mercies.
Civil and religious liberty have been
maintained, peace has reigned within
our borders, labor and enterprise
have produced their merited rewards,
and to His watchful providence are
we indebted for security from pesti
lence and other national calamity,
apart from national blessings. Each
individual among us has occasion to
thoughtfully recall, and devoutly re
cognize the favors and protection
which he has enjoyed:
Now, therefore, I, U. S. Grant,
President of the United States, do
recommend that on Thursday, the
25th day of November, the people
of the United States, abstaining
from all secular pursuits and from
their accustomed avocations, do as
semble in their respective places of
worship, and in such form as may
seem most appropriate in their own
hearts, offer to Almighty God their
acknowledgements and thanks for
all His mercies, and their humble
prayers for a continuance of His di
vine favor.
In witness whereof I hayo hereun
to set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this 27th day of October, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-five, and in the
independence of the United States
the one hundredth.
U- S. Grant.
By the President:
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State.
Proceedings of the First Meeting
of the Georgia Pharmaceutical
Association at Macon, October
20, 1875.
Pursuant to a call published, quite
a respectable number of the drug
gists of Georgia assembled in Free
man’s Hall, Macon, at 8 o’clock on
the evening of the 20th instant, for
the purpose of organizing a State
Pharmaceutical Association.
On motion Mr. Jno. Clarke, of
Milledgeville, was called to the chair,
and Dr. F. King, of Atlanta, reques
ted to act as secretary protem.
Mr. Clarke, on taking the chair,
explained the object of the meeting
in a graceful speech of about ten
minutes.
On motion a committee of three,
consisting of Schuman, of Atlanta,
Ingalls, of Macon, and Jones, of
Dawson, was appointed to draft a
constitution and by-laws for the
government of the association.
The Constitution and By-Laws of
the Tennesseo Pharmaceutical As
sociation, after a few slight changes,
were brought in by the committee
anda dopted by the association.
In accordance with section five
of article four, of the constitution
adopted, a committee of five was ap>
pointed to nominate officers to serve
until next meeting. The following
were nominated and elected by ac
clamation : President, Jno. M.
Clarke, Milledgeville; first vice, Dr.
Jno. Ingalls, Macon; second vice,
Theodore Schuman, Atlanta ; third
vice, Dr. J. R. Jaynes, Dawson;
secretary, Dr. F. King, Atlanta;
treasurer, L. W. Hunt, Macon.
On motion “The Georgia Phar
maceutical Association” was adopted
as a proper name for the organiza
tion.
Mr. Theodore Schuman asked
permission to read a paper on “The
duties of Physicians and druggists,
and their relations to each other.”
Granted.
At the conclusion of the reading of
of the paper, the following resolu
tion, introduced by R. B. Hall, were
adopted.
Resolved, That the thanks of the
society are due and hereby tendered
Mr. Schuman for his able and ex
haustive essay on the duties and re
lations of our profession, and that
it be preserved by the secretary and
published, for the benefit of the pro
fession, with the proceedings of our
first annual meeting.
After some discussion between
Macon and Atlanta, the former was
selected as the place for our first an
nual meeting, to be held in that city
at 10 o’clock, on the second Tues
day in April, 1876.
On motion, the secretary was or
dered to send invitations to all drug
gists in the State to attend our next
meeting.

Autumn Woods.
Changed are the Summer dews
Into frost in the chilly air,-
And many and bright are the golden hues
The woods of the hillside wear!
’Tis like, o’er the leafy tide,
A son of flame did fall;
Or the blood of the tree where my Saviour
died
Did tinge them all!
All! beautiful Autumn leares !
And why, I ask, may not I
Be adorned with something that life achieve*
At the time when I come to die ?
Why not be overcast
With the smile as well as the tear,
When I’ve fulfilled to the very last
My mission here?
Enriching the ground stripped bare,
By the rock of the withering grass,
Like Samaritans giving their alms of care
To the frost dead world as they pass!
’Tis a lesson that we who live
May learn in the Autumn wood,
That dying, we to the world should give
Som e parting good !
Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.
Nature’s Garden Spot*
Santa Barbara, Cal., Oct. 2, 1875.
I am an impracticable woman. I
am an imaginative woman. Names
suggust pictures to my mind. What
is the use of a name if it means
nothing; or is contradictory to facts?
When I hear the name “Clover Hill”
my mind pictures an undulating bed
of sweetness and country bloom. I
am disappointed when at “Clover
Hill.” I find only a swamp of white
dust bordered by dog fennel. When
I hear the name “Lillie,” I imagine
a blonde, white and stately, and gen
tle and sweet as the lillies in the old
garden at home. I am disappoint
ed when a coarse, loud-voiced brun
ette answers to the fair cognomen.
To the practical business man the
term “Golden Gate” doubtless sug
gests the portal through which the
great ships come and go carrying
treasure and costly merchandise.
But to me, the musical alliteration
Golden Gate calls up a bright and
glowing picture—a summery bay
fenced round by gentle hills—an
open gateway vailed by golden haze
—a yellow, glimmering sea. My im
aginings are constantly buffeted by
facts, and so the Golden Gate prov
ed to be dark frowning walls of
rocks, bristling with the guns of
a fortress, and wrapped about by
chilling fog and whistling winds,
and I saw nothing beautiful or gold
en about it. Neither was there any
thing gentle or peaceful in this wild,
raging, roaring waste of waters,
whose waves sprang upon us like
bloodhounds, lapping and licking
the timbers of our ship with foaming
mouths. I had another disappoint
ment of a more agreeable nature. I had
expected to bo the first one stricken
by sea-sickness, but one after anoth*
er, the passengers with deathly faces,
stole away, until I sat alone on deck,
shivering with cold, and wondering
if I was upheld by the old French
blood which had caused Lauriette,
and Dennio, and Devereaux to cross
the stormy main, after having lost
their titles, and bring tea and spice
and silk from the Indies to fill the
empty coffers of the house of Ar-
daine, or whether it was the sterner
stuff of my paternal ancestry who
sailed from England in the old May
flower, until they planted foot on
Pilgrim Rock; whose sons were
known as captains of the whaling-
ships that sailed from Salem village
in the long ago, and whose bones
have been bleaching in the waters of
the Atlantic one hundred years or
more. Thus I sat for hours, musing
and dreaming of those long-past
days, whose legends are preserved
with portraits and coat-of-arms, and
many useless things which are un
heeded in the ordinary ronnd of
life, but which came over me strange
ly as I sat alone and watched the
waters of the stormy sea.
THE VOYAGE.
At sunset of our first day out, the
waves suddenly were calmed until
scarcely a ripple was seen on the
mirror-like surface of the water, and
during the succeeding days of our
voyage no river could be smoother
than this tricky [ocean. I saw five
whales; one reared his great back
from the waves alongside our boat,
and ethers at a greater distance
spouted water that ^
a ftsefi by the most fo
lions and a shark? Air i
Santa Barbara islands were sighted,
our flag ran up to the masthead, and
was instantly answered by the “red,
white and bine" on a distant moun
tain peak. Then the light-honse on
the main land appeared. We were
very near shore, yet there was no
sign of a city. The great, silent,
purple mountains stood mate and
lifeless before us. It was a scene
of beautiful loneliness.
Our steamer, with a sharp curve,
rounded Castle rock, and oh ! what a
change! what a picture! We saw
in all her ravishing beauty, clothed
in the fig leaf and garlanded by vines
and shaded by palms, lying in the
arms of the jealous mountains, her
feet kissed by the lips of the wor
shiping sea, the quaint Spanish city,
with the holy name,
SWEET SANTA BA2BARA.
On the wharf, waiting to welcome
me, stood the young sister and broth
er-in-law who left us for the far West
years ago, in the light of their hon
ey-moon. After the first greetings
were over, we wended our way to a
“cottage by the sea,’ over which
this young sister of mine presides.
Then there was the flower-garden
to be admired, and the wonderful
fruit to be sampled, and the tasteful
little adornments of her home to be
scrutinized, and the convenience and
neatness of the house to be praised;
and we must take a look at the ocean
view from the dining-room window,
and the hilleide vineyards from the
parlor window; and the old stone
monastery surrounded by ancient
olive trees, from the bed-room win
dow, and the grand canon-seamed
mountains, from the kitchen window;
then the fernery by the back porch
and the tropical vines on the front
porch, and over all the wonderful
Californian sky. The sun paused
for a moment on the crest of a hill,
and waved his jeweled hand in mute
farewell to his loves in the valley;
the sound of monastery bells came
floating down, and mingled with the
beating of the surf upon the beach.
Amid these beantiful sights and
sounds we sat down to a cozy tea ta
ble, and laughed and were merry
over September strawberries and
cream. The next day we dined on
the beach, and gathered shells and
the beautiful sea moss, for which
this coast is famed. In the evening
we walked to a Spanish vineyard
for grapes. The way to the honse
led np a long lane, bordered on one
side by a hedge of pepper trees,
whose leaves are as graceful and
slender as ferns. I gathered my
arms full of the leaves and blossoms
and scarlet berries of the tree, and
by the time we reached the low adobe
house I was loaded down with cur-
ions things I had found by the way.
The whole family of three or four
generations were sitting on the low
wide porch, surrounded by orange
trees, and fig trees, and backed by
their vineyard. They literally sat
under their own vine and fig tree.
The younger girls wore dressed in
gay colors, and their long black
braids were tied with scarlet ribbons,
and a very little girl was playing with
pet rabbits; a glimpse of the sea
through the foliage and the near
monntains completed this scene,
which was beautiful as a painting.
It seems to me that I never ate such
grapes as we got at that vineyard,
cool and fresh, with the purple bloom
untouched by dust. As we wended
our way homeward in the twilight,
laden with leaves, and flowers, and
fruit, suddenly the full moon raised
her blonde head from behind a moun
tain, and her long, yellow hair fell
in shining waves to the mountain's
feet “The moon is rising ovtr Mon-
ticeto Pass,” said my brother. “I
never saw such a moon as that at
home,” I added ; “it is as big as a
wash-tub and as yellow as gold."
May laughed and said, “Everything
is big and golden in this country ;
wait until yon see our pumpkins.”
THE INDOMITABLE YANKEES
here, as everywhere, are busy with
their hard sense schemes, and will
soon spoil in great measure this
lovely spot for artist tonrists.
The thousands of miles of unten
anted land between the coast range
and the Atlantic one Yould suppose
would afford sufficient room for spec
ulation and improvement without
desecrating this little nook, that na
ture has sliced off’ and fenced about
from the rest of the world for her
very own—her garden spot But
even this tinny valley can not be
saved from these vandals. The low
mrd houses, with their little win
dows, thick walls, dirt floors and
quaint tiled roofs ? these old adobe
Spanish homes, low roofed, bnt
many roomed, that nestle so nator
ally amid the almond and the olive
trees at the foot of the hills, are be
ing tom down, and their places in
the gardens are being filled with mod
em houses, fine, tall brick buildings,
that the mountains laugh to scorn.
The soft air that should echo the
sound of the mocking-bird and bee—
the warm air that is odorous the
whole year with breath of flowers—
resounds with the sound of chisel
and hammer, and the fine blocks of
buildings and grand hotels will
soon make it like all onr cities, and
the old times and the old houses and
the old families will disappear.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIVERSIONS
to the mind, I see so many new
things, that I can scarcely settle my
self to write. This morning the
mountain canyons are calling me to
hunt for ferns and moss and vines in
their shadowy depths. The street
car running by the door will take
me to a beach as fine as any in the
world, dotted with bathhouses and
crossed by strong wire cables for the
use of the timid. The ocean casts
her treasures of mo6s and shells high
on the sand with every breaker. An
old monk, surrounded by bis class
of boys, is fishing from a deserted
wharf. Little sail or row-boats take
visitors io the great ship “Hassler,”
of the Coast Survey Corps. She is
anchored now a little distance out,
every mast and spar drawn clear and
fine against the sky. Spaniards,
with spurs on their heels and lassos
in hand, dash pell-mell up and down
the damp sand. City girls and cav
aliers canter on the beach, and phses
tons and open buses drawn by gay
horses skim along the ocean side in
the exhilirating air of mountain and
sea.
There is also a new library where,
mdlt can read
and pa-
__ ier Journ
al, which every day leaves the office
at home on its twelve days’ journey
to this distant comer of the world.
Drawn by all these attractions this
morning, what wonder if I throw
down my pen, don my big hat, and,
staff in hand, start ont to explore
still farther the beauties of fair Santa
Barbara.

Ocean Circulation.
The enterprise and scientific and
mechanical skill of modem times is
rapidly acquainting the world with
the wonders of the ocean’s depths
and currents. The November num
ber of the New York Eclectic Mag
azine contains a most interesting
summary of recent discoveries in
this line. As a general fact it may
be stated that the greatest depths of
the oceans are closely analogous to
the heights above the sea-level at
tained by the loftiest mountains;
and that a great portion of the bot
tom of the Atlantic Ocean consists
of a vast plateau of the average depth
below the surface of about three
miles. But the most wonderful dies
covery consists in the determination
of the general law of ocean-circula
tion. Water as cold as it can exist
in a fluid state sinks to the ocean’s
bottom near the poles by its greater
density and weight, and flowing to
ward the Equator, and meeting from
opposite poles, these frigid waters
become warmed in the Torrid Zona
and float toward the poles to supply
the place of the deep-sea currents
flowing in an opposite direction.—
Thus a perpetual transfer of all the
ocean-waters from the poles to the
Equator, and beck again is ceaseless
ly going on.
The Eclectic is replete with many
other interesting and instructive ar
tides, and is the best Monthly pubs
lished in America. Published by E.

CHAPTER L
April of 1865, had gathered the
light of her last day from the red
hills of Middle Georgia, and shad
ows twined themselves with a mys
terious grace among the elms of B.
Those were clouds’ of beauty, that
touched the sky, and the voice of
the breeze, soft and hushfhl, sank
into the heart like the calm that fol
lows earnest prayer.
The fresh sweetness of that spring
evening was skillfully photographed
in the fair young face of Sarepta
Cloud, as she sat upon the door-step
of her father’s home. Loving hands
had ever been near to brash sorrow
from her heart. Arms strong, and
vigilant Had successfully turned from
her path the evils that darken mor
tality. Even a stranger would have
observed this, for bliss reposed in
the moist blue of her eyes, and
dwelt but half concealed about her
cherry lips. Her voice was joy’s
softest, richest peal, and, when one
looked constantly for her to smile,
and she did not, there was no con
scious disappointment; rather an in
crease of pleasing interest, for. hap*,
piness seemed to hold her gently, as
by some magic spell. They had
named her, Sarepta; but every one
called her “Sweet,” because this was
the chief element in her nature. She
was not beautifnl, bnt fair, and 60
pore in heart. A cluster of the first
amber-hued rays of morning is a fit
similitude of the hair that fell natur
ally into ringlets about her brow.
The glow of health loved her soft
cheeks—and you would have been
1 delighted to watch her that evening,
with this glow brightening and soft
ening in unison with her thoughts;
for Sweet Cloud was in love. She
almost started from her seat, and her
cheeks grew strangely vivid—their
light swept up to her brow—as voices
from the balcony broke in upon the
vespers of nature, and interrupted
her own sweet day-dream.
“Neighbor Vane, and his family
are a social acquisition to any com
munity—say' you not so, Major
Cloud ?”
“With all my heart, I bless the
Providence that sent them into our
midst.” The pious Major pushed
up the thick brown hair from his
temples, where satisfaction usually
sat, and the two men looked out
upon the beauty around them.
“Fine young man, that son of his,
Rupert Vane.”
The heart of Sweet Glond almost
ceased its pulsation, as she listened
for her father’s reply. It came:
“A youth of noble traits, and prom
ising intellect I snppose you have
heard how he carried off the last
annual prize offered by the debating
society?”
“No! Had’nt heard a word of it.”
“He succeeded beyond question.
I bad assumed the prize myself this
year, and was so well pleased, I al
lowed him the privelege to say what
it shall be.”
“Ah! Am not surprised however.
He has a fine eye and well develop
ed head. Shouldn't wonder if he
bears a palm of high honor some
day.”
The affirmation of Major Cloud
was not very distinct- He had be
come suddenly and painfully ab
stracted, and for a moment the two
men were quite silent; then, perhaps,
to avoid the observation of his guest
he proposed to continue their walk.
“I knew it. I knew it.” The
heart of Sweet Cloud flattered a mo
ment, ere it resumed its natural pul
sation. The sound of her own voice,
so low with emphasis, aroused her
to a sense of her musings and the
next instant, she reproached herself.
“I mnst not think of loving Rn-
pert; indeed I must not All elder
ly persons would consider itimpropa
er for a girl of my age,”
But despite her self-reproaches,
the flush of love’s light would come
anon to her cheek; would deepen
and soften in her eyes, and more
than all, its meridian glow centered
warmly and deep about her heart.
Alas for Sweet Cloud! But why
pity her! Rupert Vane was hand
some, his intellect a rare jewel, and
his great noble heart belonged en
tirely to her, and this she knew. He
had told her so himself. He had not
meant to do this—not just then.—
It was when they stood together,
and alone, at the close of her school
examination. Sweet was fairer that
evening than Rupert had ever seen
her. Clad in white, the placid charm
of purity gathered about her being.
Almost unconscious of what he did,
Rupert Vane informed her in pas
sionate terms of the love that al
ternately brightened and saddened
his heart. Little guessed he what
quick responses his words awoke in
her bosom: for the girl was very
quiet as she listened—only her
cheeks were aglow, and, when they
were suddenly called to a separation,
the fingers he pressed were tremu
lous. These were the only indica
turns he possessed relative to the
state of her heart, and, somehow, he
carried them very fondly in his mem
ory, through the long weeks of ab
sence which circumstances forced
upon him; and whenever he became
desponding he turned to them as to
a refreshing cor<? : aL Unaware of
hi* one great weakness, and bust
ing Kim as only a woman can trust,
a train of sweetly solemn thoughts
palpitated through the soul of Sweet
Cloud.
She was glad her father liked Ru
pert This seemed a kind of seal to
her happiness. She had felt that
she could not go out joyfully from
her childhood’s home without the
benediction of the father, and the
prayers of the mother who had
watched over her young life with af
fectionate, and, save one thing,
faultless consideration. To glance
back upon the past was more than
pleasant, ior all its vistas were bright;
but the future—who can picture its
radiance as it looked up to the maid
en upon the doorstep?
“God is so good, Jesus is so gra
cious, to cover all my sins with the
robe of his righteousness and smile
upon me as if I were pure”, she was
saying softly to herself when

from her revene to find the moon
already risen, its mellow light bath
ing the earth, and falling over her
own fair figure.
“Come, Sweet, no more of your
star-gazing to-night; come with us
to the ‘great rock’, and we promise
you a delightful walk, sweet music,
and a happier heart to bring back
home with you ”, and the vivacious
face of Nettie Richards leaned over
the latticed gate coaxingly.
“To be sure I will." She bound
ed lightly down the steps. “It was
so kind of you to call for me,” she
said, not seeing Rupert who stood
in the shadow of an elm watching
her. The group received her with
unfeigned glee, and the enterchange
of greetings had scarcely subsided
when a voice just behind her said:
“Good evening Miss Sweet.”
“Rupert, good evening,” sho had
not discovered his presence until
that moment, yet she was unembar
rassed, and looked up frankly into
his face as she congratulated him on
his success at the debating society.
With her permission, he laid the
hand he had taken in salutation, up
on his arm and as they walked to
gether he replied to her congratu
lations ; asking in conclusion, “Aro
you aware that I am allowed to name
my prize?”
“I heard father mention the fact.
What will you choose Rupert?”
“V hat shall I choose Miss Sweet?”
“I don t know, really—something
very nice though.”
“I have some idea what I shall
claim, but I wished to consult you
about it first. I wouldn’t ask it with
out your permission, you know-”
Sweet looked inquiringly into his
face until the last sentence passed
his lips. The low tenderness of his
voice, blending with his earnest gaze,
suggested the truth to her mind.
She had not time to reply however,
for they were now near “the rock.”
A little later they sat upon its rug
ged height; rays of mellow moon
light quavered through the foliage
of thetrees, and nestled down bright-
ly, peacefully upon them, reminding
one of the light of Christianity strug-
gling through the mists of perverted
reason ere it fell in upon the dark
ness of the fifteenth century. With
one accord they began to tell stories,
part reel, part imaginary, of the sad
time when the red-man sought ven
geance upon the pale faces for taking
away their beautiful country. They
spoke sympathetically of the anxiety
and fear that mnst have predomina*.
ted in the bosom of mother or sister
as they led little children into the
dark clefts of that same rock as into a
covert from death and nestled there
while the savage war whoop resound
ed far and wide. When weary of
this, one touched a guitar and every
voice joined in song. Then each
sang in turn, and the songs were
interspersed with pleasant desultory
conversation and peals of sweetest
laughter. As they returned Sweet
appeared to forget Rupert’s oration,
and the prize associated with it, talk
ing glibly of other things until they
were quite at her own door. Having
arrived there he proposed to sit
awhile upon the balcony, remarking
the loveliness of the night, and when
they were seated he blushingly con
tinued.
“You do not know what a bright,
warm thought came into my heart
when I saw you upon tho door-step
this evening, surrounded by these
beautiful, and holy influences. You
were looking up with an expression
of perfect, and happy trust, and I—
I thought how very happy 1 should
be if I might claim one such glance
as that from you. Do you ignore
all memory of the examination Sweet?
I told you all my heart then, and I
do love you so truly, and will love
you always. No one were ever more
tender, more faithful, more living
than I shall be if you will only trust
me. Can’t you be happy in doing
so? O, Sweet; I will claim no other
prize than your own fair hand, may
I ask it of your father ? His voice
was eloquent in its pathos and ear*
neatness “Will you not speak to me ?
may I not ask him Sweet ?”
The low answer palpitated upon
the night breeze “You may ask him,
Rupert.”
Rupert tried to tell her how hap
py he was. So they sat a long time
upon the balcony talkingjsoltly, hope
fully as only youthful lovers can.
Long after the flushed cheek of
Sweet Cloud was laid upon its snowy
pillow, her heart kept up its flutter
ing, and her mind was thronged with
thoughts of the new joy that had
come to crown her life.
Alas that a watchful parent’s want
of consideration should have pers
mitted snch happiness to mature
when that parent’s disregard of Chris
tian responsibility had originated an
evil that required its blasting! yet
it was so, and it may be, the angels
folded their pure wings above her
that night saying sorrowfully to
each other:
“Alas for Sweet Cloud.”
