Union Thanksgiving services were
held in the Presbyterian Church on
Thursday, Nov. oath, by the resident
pastors. Rey. G.. A. Powell delivered
an excellent Thanksgiving sermon
from Psalm lis lis. The musical Sc
iections were very good, and were
well rendered. The decorations were
much admired by all who saw them.
Behind the pulpit were the words in
large letters, trimmed in cedar and
red berries:
s'....
. O, GIVE THANKS UNTo II LORD. .
The pulpit and organ were also or
namcntcd with autumn leaycs, tlow-
ers and gram, making Il very pretty
effect. The attendance upon the SER
vices, while not what it should have
been in view of the manifold mcreics
and privileges which a Kind Provi-
dencc has bestowed upon us, was
better than in past years. II seems
strange that in a christian commune
ty there are always TO be found those
who have nothing for which TO be
thankful.
A collection amounting to S14 80
was taken up at the close of the SER
vice for the Protestant Orphan Asy-
lum al Natchez.

Oliver Twist in Pittsburgh.

Men who become accustomed to living
at public expense, ultimately look upon
their privilege as a right, and the more
luxurious the support they enjoy the
more strenuous are they in maintaining
it as a right, and the more brazen in
asking for more. The Pittsburgh Dis
patch tells of case in point A fire
having swept away the John Harper
building in Pittsburgh, a movement
was started to have the adjacent street
opened to Penn avenue. In behalf of
the movement it was urged that it
would be a good time to do this i'm
mediately after the fire, as the damages
than after new buildings were erected
But Mr.. Harper opposed the scheme.
He was not satisfied to be paid the
value which Pittsburgh had already
given to his lot, but wanted also the
additional value which future growth
will give it. Here is what he said: 81
suppose the city can condemn the
property, but l will oppose it. The
widening would take twenty feet and
leave strip of ten feet that would be
worthless unless Charles Arbuthnot
would buy it. We do not want to give
up the property, for in a few years it
will be worth half more than what it
is now; and if it is condemned, its value
as an investment would not be con-
sidered. Mr.. Harper should not be per-
sonally condemned; he is only a type.
