THE LECTURE.
Delivered By DIR. Mcdonald in Union
Churei, Last Evening.

lie Union Church contained an audi /
ence Of over one hundred persons last
night, who listened to the lecture of DR.. 4
Mcdonald on the three characters OF
man, viz: Physical, intellectual and
moral The Doctor. who is an able
speaker, as well as q finished elocution-
ist and gentleman OF good address, spoke
FIRST Of the distinguishing faculties Of
man over beast and illustrated the world
Of progress as the outgrowth Of these
superior endowments and dweIled par
ticHIarlv on tbewonderful reults of fnyen-
tive ingenuity. He drew an interesting
comparison between to-day and a hum
dred years since, reciting the fact that
General Washington never lit match.
sent & telegram, rode on the cars. saw
an iron clad nor wore d rubber coat. and
ventured to compare this with the next
century, when oHr descendants will
laugh at the old fashioned customs OF
to-day. The wonderful conyeniences Of
our own time are multiplying at an as
tomishing rate, and we agree with the
doctor in admitting the probability of
the suDercedenee of electricity over
steam and the horse in all motive pow
er. We may reasonably expect to see
biscuits turned out OF reaping ma
chine, and cradles run by electricity; to
see electric power replace the horse and
enable the subjects OF pleasure drive
to dispense with holding the ribbons in
the event Of holding something more
pleasing. The doctor next discussed the
moral character of man and illustrated
the several qualities of vanity, self-es-
TEEN, diligence, etc We have no doubt
several OF the fifteen-year old boys who
were present Will take his advice and
lay away ten cents daily until they
are sixty, and then produce a banking
account good for So, 600
All IN all tile Doctors lecture was en-
PERTAINING and instructive. It was GER
tainly such treat as Ketchum has new
er before experienced in the lecture line,
and our citizens should not fail to reap
the benefit Of an educated and well ex-
pressed mind

CONFEDERATION.
Larell Bros Saw Mill Opposite Ketehum
is Burned to Ashes Loss. $4,000.

At about 2 o'clock Thursday morning
the mill hands at Lavell Bros saw mill
opposite town were awakened by the
sight and sound of fire TO find the en-
tire building and wood work around the
mill beyond recovery III flames. The
cause of the fire is unknown. but sup
posed to have originated from dormant
fire in the sawdust pile or edgings. It
evidently began on that side of the
building, and this explanation seems
very plausible. A very large and sub
stantial building was recently erected
over the entire mill and the immense
fire casised by this did greater damage
to machinery. etc, than could possibly
have been done in an open mill. Mr..
Thomas Lavell informs us that the des-
troyed property can be replaced for
about $4,000. but thinks the virtual loss
is $4,000. The fire is not attributed to
eare1essness. since the hands are very
preeaueions TO extingHish any shoulder
ing emhers around the works that might
possibly lead to fire.

tied the Philadelphia ssnelters and the
Gnycr Hot Springs yesterday aud to-
day Tie party came to Ketchuin yes
terday morning by stage To view the
country, especially tho smelling works
and springs and were highly pleased.
Messrs. Eddy, Nash and Mathews are
the guests of the Philadelphia Co. to-
day, and express themselves surprised
to see such magnificent works in opera
ton at this point. The Grant works,
from Which the new plants at the PAila-
4 delphia snelters are patterned, consist
of nine fifUy-ton furnaces III full opera
4 ton.
Doings at the shelters go on with usi-
al yigor and ore continues to arrive from
I tle various shipping mines heretofore
mentioned. The Senate, at Galena, is
f sending in more than usual, while the
North Star, on East Fork, owned by the
\ ?. III. & S. Co., is also figuring among the
leading producers. It is stated that the
Elkhorn still takes the lead in the ag-
gregate OF single tonnage. At the pres
! ent time the. MONDAY is probably next
/ in amount Of shipments.
The bullion output from the new fur
naces ranges nom $50 to 450 bars daily,
with an average weight Of Zoe pounds,
making about 90 tons the total yield
! One hundred and nifty thousand brick
are being hauled TO the works from La
Points brick yard for the construction
OF roast kiln west OF the original roast
/ furnace. This kiln will be about TWEEN
4 ty feet high and accommodate : greater
amount of ore than can be roasted in
the old furnace, and roast it at a cost
not exceeding fifty cents per ton.
Among other constructions at the
snelter is large stable and barn facing
the main road from the north, which is
for the accommodation Of stock to be
used in the winters run.
E Col. Greene informs us that the new
furnaces, one of them at least and prob
ably both. viii be operation through the
entire winter. For the purpose Of pro-
teeting the water power against cold
weather arrangements have been made
with the Guyer Hot Springs. by which
a steady flow of hot water through the
smelling Cos ditch will avoid any pos
sibility Of freezing. This Is an inesti-
mable natural advantage, seemingly
/ provided for this great industry BY the
Creators hand.
The forty-ton furnaces have been idle
d day or two toadmit of repairing broken
machinery and connecting the east fur
mace with the main dust fiae. They
will, however, be put in operation so
soon as possible

STRIKING A SOFT JOB.

A man sat writing III q basement
office on Griswold street. An old
man with a snow-shCyel on his right
shoulder and his boots covered
with snow entered with a great
racket and two or three "whcws.ss
and placing one Of bis snowy feet
against the hot coal stove he said :
"First there was the creation of
the world. l presume You admit
that 2"
The nan who sat writing did
not even look UP.
"Of course you admit it. Snow
was created along with other sorts
of weather, and according to the
laws made by man snow must he
cleaned Oft the walks within six
hours after the storm ceases, pro
vidlns there is any storm to cease.
Are you following me 2"
The man at the desk Kept scratch
ing away for dear life.
"Of course you foller. The next
great event was the deluge. All
the snowswas soaked up for the
time being, but we have had heaps
of it since, and soms meu are 700
s'ingy to .pay fifty cents to have
their sswalks cleaned. l presume
you catch on"
If the gentleman even knew that
the old man was present, he did
not betray the fact by a gesture.
The visitor changed feet against the
stove and continued:
''Then there was the Drift Pc
Rod. 1cebergs, ash barrels, snow
drifts and old hats went drifting
around the country at the rate of
miles an hour. The man who
wants to keep out Of the poor
house, and is willing to shovel off
snow at the rate of 4 dollar a day
drifted too, aud finally brought up
in Detroit, I presume you twig? %
If he did there was no sign.
"Then came the Stone Age.n re
sumed the old man, as he hunted
through his pockets for some tobac
co dust. ''Good many stones around
l reckon, and there have been
Of stone ever since. Yes.
sir, there are men in this very City
of Detroit who wouldn't pay thirty
cents to clear off their forty feet Of
if the isnow thereon was
up to their chius. 1 presume you
tumble 2"
The man rose up from the desk
without a word, walked over and
seized the old man by the collar,
and without even looking into his
eyes, he opened the door and diff
ed" him to the sidewalk at two mo
tions and flung the snow shovel af
ter him. The elected stood and
stared around for a minute, rubbed
the top of his head gently, and was
a minute more in fully realizing
the situation. Then he descended
the stairs, opened the door, and
called out:
1T isn't the two kicks l care
about, for ! am used to that, but it
hurts me to think that l went and
posted up such a man as You are
on Biblical history and solemn
facts that you would never have
heard Of in all your. born day"
