THANKSGIVING DAY.
HOW ir WAS OBSERVED IN MACON
AND ELSEWHERE.
Services at Mulberry and the Baptist
Church—The Pot Hunters Abroad—
Dinner at the Hotels, Hoff
Home and at the Jail.
Thank-giving Da; was f ally and generally
observed.
The day hid a semi-Sindayiah air aboni
it that brought oat the people, those who
did not go banting, in best olothes. Boat
neaa was suspended, the shopabeiog closed
as sere nearly ail the stores.
Every man and boy who bad a gnn or
could borrow one went oat of town to spend
the day with the birds and rabbits. They
wont oat on the trains going in all direc
tions, over a hundred going on the Georgia
railroad and gettieg off at R iberts, James'
and Haddock's. Some went on the South
western train, some on the Maoon and
Western and some on the East Tennessee.
Luge numbers went oat on foot, the
swamps below the city being Ailed, and
some went oat in baggies. Nightfall
brought them all back, and, for a wonder,
they had good lack, though Captain Jim
Dense, who watched the banters as they
came, is authority for the 'assertion that
therois not a sparrow, joree, saps acker,
jaybird or kildee left within ten miles of
maoon.
Tho churches had good congregations,
nnd theservioea were interesting'at all of
them.
In the afternoon the ladies attended the
matinee at the Academy of Mosio in large
numbers, making one of tho largeat mati
nee audiences seen in the Academy in a
long time, and it was somewhat remarkable
from the faot that there were not a dozen
gentlemen pesent. At Mssonio Hail the.e
was a packed house, tho bail not being able
to bold all who wanted to see the matinee
performance.
AT UOLDEBSV STOEET CBCBCB.
Services were held at Mulberry Street
Methodist Church at II o'clock. The mu-
sio won furnished by Professor Gntten-
bergerat tho organ and congregational sing
ing. .
After the hymo, “Come Sound His
Praise Abroad," a prayer was offered by
Bsv. J. W. Austin, and then Rev. W. 0.
Lavctte, pastor of First Street Methodist
Church, arose to deliver the Thanksgiving
sermon. After enumerating the blessings
for wbioh thanks should bo returned, he
said: ir

the life of a nation yon must pnt into its
schools. Jesus Christ gave ns tbs most
splendid exhibition of citixeustip in its re
lation to government He came to estab
lish a kingdom of Hia own, and brighter in
its glories, wider In its reaeh, mors endnring
in its character than that of the Civjsrs,
and yet when tnhute money was demanded
of him, he went down to bis bank in the
sea and took from his Sony teller the
tax money, bat not for him alone; for ths
other man as well.
I poiut you toanotbersign that must tend
to our disobedience. I mean the effort to
throttle at all event* to rebuke tho pulpit
when it denouuces woridliuess. The Me-
Kendree affair, the noise some lime ago in
New Orleans because a minister for'he pre
servation of the American nr Chria im Bab-
ba'h, tho epithets resounding through the
streets of Atluata, all proclaim that the
force of moral teaching so long aoeorded the
pnlpit shall now be diminished by the pre
sentation of a yacht whose sheen shall al
lure from the hrightnesa of gospel truth. A
throttled pulpit is a calami.y to any
government, a cu.se to any age,
only less in its damage than a
flagrantly corrupt one. The issue
between afaittfai pulpit and the world it
condemna may before ua be drawD; but
here, as elsewhere, the voios of Qod will
break through the conventionalities of life
by the living ministry of the Word, and
men will be made to aee that God is in earn
est when be denounce* sin. That is some
thing more than social statos or race, mis
fortuns or individual inconvenience.
After all this "sign signifies’’ wo beloved
are doing something in this world. The
woman stood si th» feet of her Lord and
broke her box of spikenard and tbe fra
grance of the ointment has pleased tbe cen
turies, while so ioog as time lasts the has
two memorials time cannot taroish or de
molish—the one the rebnke of a mean,
money-lovlog seler of his Lard; tho other
the gospel of light and life wherever
preaohed. 80 to many of our self appoint
ed lecturers in pu'pit and ministerial duty,
we say raise your voice a note or two that
the noisy world may hear bow lofty we are.
Such in brief are some of our dangers.
Our prosperity has been good and gt«<tt,onr
t ills are rich with wealth yet unseen, our
literature is going round tho world, our
fame is across tbe vasty deep. We need
bat four factors to gusrsotee our brightest
hopes for tbe future, sod these are at hand.
I name them, not in the order of import
ance so mush as in the order of logical se
quence.

A good congregation listened to a fine
sermon from the pastor. R,v. E. W. War-

aud was furnish-d by the ehoir. h
After tho hymua beginning,
"Come. 0, my soul! la aicred layi,"

"Oed la lots, Bis mercy brif Sisai,"
the pastor unnouoood his text, James 1:17;
"Every good gift, and every perfect gilt is
from above, and oometh down from the
F ither of lights," eto.
After a brief exposition of the tixt, four
■peeisi faiesaiog* wero mentioned aud tlab-
orateii that call tor thanksgiving.
1. The Family. Its salutary restraints
upon each member. Ira blearing* to tbe
country. Itsoontnbntions to tho cau-oof
a purcChristisnlty.
2 Na iohal lies-log*. No people ever en-
joyed more complete freedom of speech or
action thin we do. Oor le;al restraints are
those tuitoroed by loya ty to our m-umry,
and the habit ot einforiuity to Hutu which
is almost uaiverssl among native rorn

ci-l, civil aud religious rights. We tij jy

3. Providential Bliariuga. All God’s
providential dealing* with his people aro
rosl bloisiog*. Oar tovrows, disappoint
ments, griefs, iflliou.iDa, tnougU wo miy
not at the time see them In tins light, are
real bleasinge. Here Dr. Warren beautiful-
ly illustrate i hi* poiut br Ihs story of
Joseph and God’s providential dsaUogs with
him.

choicest nf all blearing . TM, U the per-
ftet gift of God, which of all otheis oaSls

said to be the reason why subscriptions

reuon is stated to hold true in Cincinnati,
where the Fidelty Bank and the Cincinnati,

The "protee ive o-.mmtttee" of tbe Naw
York Btard of Fire Doderwritera is hard at
work on the details of its new plan of ac
tion which involvsa the co-operation of the
companies with each other aud of the com
panies with property owners, the object
being to proteot risks aod redaco «xpooie<,
and thereby reduce rates. Tbe oommtttee,
of which Sir. H. H. Hill, of tbe Northern,
is chairman, had a meeting yesterday, and
reported progress.
More attention than nenal is being paid
to the enforcement of the laws relating to
the construction of buildings in New York
city. This movement has been accelerated
by the aotivity of insurance men, who are
oo-operating with the oity authorities in the
matter. The laws relating to bnilding aro
many and enmbrons, and the superintend
ent of the Bjsrd of Fire Doderwriterr, Mr.
W, R Pitcher, has greatly 1 6sened the
w J»b of all interested by the compilation of
a little pamphlet which contains extracts
relating to hot air furnaces, registers,
smoke, hot air and steam pipes, Hues and
chimneys, hearths and fire backs and gas
brackets. Experience proves that o.rnlesa-
neBS in construction in these particnlare is
the source of a large numb, r of fires. Tho
board’s inspectors are directed, end all in
spector* are advised, to be eepeolafiy osro-
fol in dealing with these points Copies
ot tbe extracts may be obtained at the
board rooms.
The absurdly low rates at which risks
may be placed with many companies doing
business in this olty, are leading Uio
brokers to take all sorts of advantages of
thesiroation. The following o me to the
knowledge of the writer yesterday: Seme
bright fellows ere making detours into tbo
neighboring cities and towns, picking ont
nominally good rieks, and offering to place
them in New York city at much lower rotes
than are now being paid. It is said that the
rcbeme has been worked successfully—at
least for the broker.
A recent fire in a New England State was
caused by elsottic light wires. Taste w*s
no doubt about it, and the evidenoe of care-
lS'gaess on the part of the clcolrfo light
was so clear and culpable, that tbe in.ur-
enoo company involved insisted on the elec-
trio lighting company's settling the loss,
which it did. A Western farmer recently
compelled a railroad to settle a loss that
was clearly censed by sparks from a loco
motive. These are hints to the insurance
companies that it may bo possible to com
pel those who oaose fire* to psy tor them.
The negotiations that have recently been
going on between th* companies and the
brokers for a better regulation of rate* and
c mmiiai jne are virtually at an end, aud i;
ia Improbable that any agreement will b;
airiv d at Tho Tar.ff Association will, it
■( reported, set to work at ones to formn-
iatc some plan tu regulate brokerage in ils
own Interest. It ie suggested that no com-
missions shell be prid to any broker who
does oot pledge hunealt to assent to oertain
rules of the arsooiition Another proposi
tion la to repeal the rale ot ths association
wbiou f nblds the member* alios iog a re-
fa ito to the insured. The broker may allow
a rebate, end there is no rule to prevent
him, and he is thereby Inquently ebie to
give I .otter terms to me iosured then the
'alter can obtain from tho company itself
Aa abrogation of this rote would doubtless
indaoo many property owners to dtal direct
with tbe company instead ot through a
broker a* at pisssnk
A Chicago Girl Marries n Young Swefif,

Chicago 1 ribune.
Among the vlotims of the great Chicago
fire in 1871 was a gentleman b/ the name
of Hooker. Ho was a wealthy merohant at
the time, but, like many others of his class,
was utterly mined by the fire. After this
oalamity the family was supported bv
keeping boarders Three or four vedrs
ago there came into this family to board
two handsome young 8 series, polished,
well educated, aod apparently the posses
sors of money, ono o.lltd 8wen and the
other Olsf. Mr. Hooker's family is Ameri*
ean. That makes no difference, q’he
Swedish visitors were well pleased with
their boarding house, aud tbe reason for
tho gennine satisfaoiion they dieni‘v>d

when it is told how they were both single
gentlemen, and how in tho Hooker house,
bold there was at least one unmarried
daughter, a fresh, pretty, vivacious youn-'
lady, who flitted about the halls and par
lors like on angel, occasionally pan ing to
rilnminate some dark corner with her
bright smiio.
That bright smile it was that haunted one
y0U .? g Sw °des-yotiDg Olaf.
Ihe Swedish gentlemen, in the meantime,
did not seem to care to engage in any regu
ar business occupat.on. They gave it ont
that they had come to America to study
tbe manners, customs and language of the
country. In tbe latter pursuit they were
assisted greatly by tho Hookers, and ea-
peoiaily by that daughter cf the household,
Annette, who, by her careful attention to

Olaf had proposed they should spend the
remainder of their days. After a brief Btay
in London, they sped across to Christiania.
Mocli to her surprise tho bride found an
elegant equipage fitted out with liveried
driver and with footman awaiting
thein at tho steamship dock, and she
heard her bnsbaud give some dtreo ions to
the ooachman by which she i ifer.ed that
the eqniptge was bis own. She asked no
questions. The pair were driven through
tne city to an arietooratio suburb, orna
mented with the flue retilenoee of wealthy
peopio and with the grounds end palaces of
ri’e nobility. When tbe most extensive and
most magnificent of all tbe paltces was
niched the coachman wheeled his steeds iu
upon the groun s. “Now,” said Olaf, “we
will alight, I want yon to corns in ard look
over this palace, and see how the groat of

upon the noble pile. At first she exhibited
shyness st tbe thonght of going in and
meeting the great people. But her hua-
baud finally induced her to take a walk
through ita halls. When they oeme ont he
asked her what she thought of it. The
young brido ixpr.ee)d htr admiration fjrit

poured from her lips.

The tub-marine boat E. A. Nelson, sent
ont by the Binnswick Daily Breeze about a
year ego with inriruotiooi to discover tho
north pole at any coat, returned yesterday,
and report* having discovered the pole, bnt
did not bring it along owing io its being too

sought to reaoh the polt under tho lee and

Tho photographers who ceocmpanltd Ibe

some very interesting views of tbo nonb
polo and tbe peculiar people who inhabit It
They report that the atmosphere about the
pole la extremely attenuated and the tfLct
upon the explorers was *o make them feel
drank, and as if the, were walking iu air
Thl* R owing to the ub-.eno* of a sufficient
amount cf nitrogen in lha air, and shea
the txpefitt'on retnrn* it will take with it a
large supplv of nitrogen, which will be
mixed in with the oxygen st tbe pole so aa
to make wholesome American sir. Not
only it the air f odd, at tbe north pole but
maoy other things—one bring tlat there
ere only three points of tbe oompas, ea-p
west and south—the north R oompleiriv

Another very funny thing is the ract that
