Thanksgiving Day III Jacksonville

A NOVEL IDEA IN CHURCH DECORATION.
FRUIT, FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES ARTIST
ICALLY ARRANGED. A DISTRIBUTION TO
THE POOR.
A Belfast lady who is spending the winter in
Jacksonville, Florida, sends Us the following
description of church decoration at that place
on Thanksgiving day.
1.-The Northern Presbyterian church, which
we attend, was beautifully, and to me rather
oddly decorated. In the alcove back of the
pulpit, the organ was surrounded by branches
of palm. stalks of sugar cane moss from the
live oak, and English ivy. On the chandelier
hung punches of oranges. bananas aud strings
of peanuts. In front of the choir, and on
tables on either side Of the pulpit; Were mann
moth bouquets of geranums, roses of every
hue, Iaponicas. &C. On either side of the pull
pit We're raised platforms sloping towards the
audience. Onthese We're pyramids of oranges,
lemons. lines, bananas, grapes. cocoanuts,
| apples, guavas, cabbageS, potatoes, radishes,
celery, onions, lettuce, &c. In one corner
stood a banana tree with the fruit and buds
upon it. In another corner palm tree orna-
mented with fruits and peanuts.
1t was all very artistically arranged, and what
added to their beauty was the thought that after
the services, all were to be distributed to the
poor.
The PASTOR Mr.. fully, preached very able
and interesting sermon from the text" Thanks
be unto Cod" One other feature struck me.
There were fully as many men as women in the
congregation, You know at home there are
two women TO one man at our church services
on Sunday.
As | sat in church | could but think how
differently the churches in Belfast must have
appeared OH Thanksgiving Day. While you at
the North We're >hivering in the cold, your
churches at best decorated with few potted
plants. we were surrounded by all the beautiful
flowers and fruits of this tropical place. could
not resist the temptation of sending YOU this
sketch, A. :. g."

The Business Outlook.

Indications multiply that the coming winter
will be a hard one for very many people. From
every quarter come reports of the shutting
down of mills and factories, thus throwing
thousands out of employ ment. and of "a reduc-
ton of wages in many of our industries. That
this state of affairs is mainly due to the election
OF "A Democratic President cannot be gainsad.
and that it must continue until il is seen what
is to be the policy of the new administration
there can no doubt. 1t is the element of IN
certainty that brings business to a stand-stll.
With the election of Mr.. Blaine continuation
of the protection policy was assured, and our
manufacturers would have been encouraged to
continue, with the hope of speedy revival of
business. But with "a majority of the Demo-
cratic party imbued with free trade ideas.
large faction openly and avowedly the
friends and advocates of the foreign manufac-
turers, and with ample evidence that more than
million and probably two millions, of British
gold were contributed to the Democratic cam
paign fund, it is no wonder that there are
foreboding> to the future and a suspension
i'll many branches of manufactures until the
worst can be known. That the present de-
preston will be lasting, even if a Democratic
administration does all the harm possible, we
do not for moment believe This is too big :,
country to be wrecked by a mere change of AL
mni>tration, and it i, safe to say that the
Democrats will not be able to carry out their
free trade policy. The expectation that they
Will attempt it is enough. however, 10 stop the

sent situation. with the assurance that brighter
days are ahead.

I There is such thing as OVERRIDING just ndig-
nation. Though we must disapprove of tie
tendency of the St. John movement as towards
Democratic success, yet even in that case our
prohibition friends had the right to do as they
pleased If they were fighting for principle
they had the perfect right to do SO, even though
they did defeat the Republican party. dexter
Gazette.
Certainly. No one denies the right of these
so-caled prohibitionists to do as they please
but the Temperance men of the country, of
whom the followers of st. John comprise IA
very small percentage, have right to COM
plain when the labor of years is thrown away
by fanatics and fools, led by a corrupt and un.
principed man. This certainly is cause for
just Indignation, and we do not think it has or
can be overdone.

The Brand Lreman case has been decided
cate OF election to Leeman, Rep. This ensures
Il Republican organization OF the Legislature of
Illinois and the election of a Republican L. 5.
Senator TO succeed Gen. Logan, who will no
doubt be his own successor. This ends an in
famous attempt to steal Il seat in the Legi>la-
ture and to defeat the will of the people. The
Chicago Times says Brand, (Dem.) confesses
he was not elected, and from evidence heard by
the federal grand jury, at Springfield, it would
appear that two deliberate manpulationS of the
ballot had been made. The first was in taking
the original ballots and sticking Brand pastors
over Leman's name. and fixing up the poll book
and tally sheets to correspond. Then, there
appeared d chance for Il recount. counterfeit
republican tickets bearing Brands name were
substituted for those bearing the pastors Ii is
said that there is evidence to show that Friday
week certain democrats engaged an engrayer
to counterfeit the Autographed head of the re-
publican ticket and then had printer print the
bun9!ed, As, according to the Numbers, four Of
Leman'> relatives voted for Brand. over 800
voters have made affidavit that they voted for
Leman, while his lame appear, upon lS2 bal-

ties indicted but tLey have left for parts I'M

The Boston steamer Decatur III. Miller was
sunk in collision with the William Lawrence

was caused by misunderstanding of signals.
No lives were lost. The steamer was valued at
