Sufflclcntly decent ttotutfU by no weans tn

aud KUternatloual request to devota Thurailay
of tlio present wek to prayer uml thanksgiving.
There was religious service nt throe of our
churches k Htifoit Bcrvlco ut the Presbyterian
church, .'lev. Mr. Viites, of the MctliotlWt church,
prcucliliiK the sermon; service ut the Episcopal
church, Kev. Mr. Speirs, the rector, prcackln' u
scrmim; rind service ut the German Methodist
church. The hanks ui.d iiot of tlio husiness
places were closed, except the saloons, at which
the favorite tipple was Tom and Jerry.
The day opened mild and pleasant, and it was
notable us the tlrst ihunkiijrivjnfr day in half a
dozen years on which there was neither mow
dm Wic ground or tee anywhere for skating. In
tlio evening a storm blew up from the south,
and thure was a copious warm rain fall, which
lasted nearly all uilit. In spite of the un pro
pitious weather, however, there was a well at
iirtidcd dance at Willis' Hall and another at
Turner hall. In private families there was about
the average consumption of turkey with cran
berry sauce und mince pics, ending up with
card parties in the evening.
Few, probably, except the meager mmibers
that attended church, took a thought as to what
they bhould be thankful for or why they obsorv
ed the holiday anyhow. The season, at best,
senna to be unpropitioiis for that contented,
hopeful frame of mind that usually Incites to
thankfulness. We are on tlio threshold of win
tcr. The cares and miKicties which, with at
least two out of every three, surround the prob
lem involved in providiui: food, raiment and fuel
for the next six months of frost und snow, is not
provocative of exuberant gratitude." Our pil
grim fathers, who lixed the custom and day, may
have felt otherwise. They, at leat, hart hew.M
out r the forest u home anil sufety for the win
tcr, und sitting dowu by the side of their blu.iitg
hearths after the arduous 6ummer struggle,
could send up a goauinc song of thanksgiving
and prayer of real devotion, which was all the
more meritorious because not tarnished by the
excesses and gluttony that are now too ofteu
the discreditable attendant of the day's observ
ance. Yet with all 'these drawbacks, the pious,
contemplative ininu can still seo much in the
surroundings of everybody, no matter how lowly
of condition, f lint may justly call for thankful
ness to the great (iiver of all good, in compari
son of whose infinite perfections we are all but
" poor creatures" vile dust, vessels of wrath lit
for destruction.

Our Lutheran friends li iw lost their pastor,
Kev. Mr. Fruechtenicht, who has been with them
so long some l. years. It is now severe! weeks
since the removal was proposed but not until a

is 6mall and not very wealthy, and the wants of
his family have so Increased that he founl it nec
essary to aocept this call from Elgin, where the
churcli is two or three times as lari;e and can
support him better. His pesple here were loatli
to let him go, for hislontf residence in Ottawa,
his genial manners and kind disposition hud en
deared him to his flock, but when he finally did
determine to leave, thc.y accepted the situation,
and did every thing they could to make Us part

of the church gnve Mrs. F. a "surprise party,"
and during the evening presented her with a
large and handsome clock, a stereoscope, and
some other useful articles. The Sunday Sch.iol

Novelty was burned in the canal at Marseilles on
Thursday morning last. How the Cre originated
is unknown, for the tires were nearly out when
the captain went to bed the night before, but
from the place where It first apteared in the
cabin, it is supposed to have been an old fire
which had been smouldering for a long time,
and finally worked its way out. The boat was
liurncd to the water's edge, and most of a large
cargo of lumber was burned with it. Her barge
was run oat of reach of the flames und escaped
uninjured. Capt. Wm. Allen, the owner and
captain of the boat lost, besides his boat, a valu
able gold watch, worth about 2."0or $:k0, all his
own and his wife's clothing, and some $t00 in
money. There was no Insurance.

very generously threw open their large and
handsome house for a sociable under the nian
agemcntof the ladies of the Episcopal Church.
The result was not only the largest and most
profitable but Uie most enjoyable occasion of the
kind we have attended for many a day. There
were some 150 guests present, and the evening
was spent in dancing, vocal and instrumental
music, and all the other amusements that the
luxuries of that noble home afforded. An ex
cellent supper was served, and at a late hour
the guests reluctantly departed. Surely, if our
people could speed so pleasant an evening of.
tencr, we should be a happy community.

ARTIFICIAL STONE.
A New Manufacture at Ottawa.
Col. W. C. Attlx, of Chicago, having leased one
of the warehouses and a portion of the ground
known as the Fishbem lot near the Main street
swing hr'u'.gv) across the 6!de cut, with a view of
commencing there the manufacture, on a large
scale, of u',;!. i;ii stone, a word or two on the
subject will naturally interest our readers.
Tlu process Mr. Attlx. proposes to use is of
course patented, and combines two former put
ents the Frear patent and the Hull & Salisbury
patent, the latter known as the Plm-nix stone.
The manufacture and use of artificial stone is
comparatively new In this country, and especial
ly in Illinois; yet the Frear stone (upon which
the PhuMiix is a vast Improvement) has been in
limited use in thU state for the last eight or ten
years, and has thus far not only borne t;ie test of
heat, frot and moisture equal to lliu Deal natur
al stone, tut in the crucial test of the great Chi
cago fire, as John B. Furwell Untitles, " came out
of the tfro entirely uninjured, while all other
stones proved worthless." Its merits, under that
test having been thus peculiarly emphasized, the
stone so rapidly gained public confidence that in
this state alone it is now manufactured at fifteen
or twenty different points. 'there Is one very
largo establishment for its manufacture near
Hyde Park, in Chicago; and there arc manufac
tories at Champaign, Decatur, Pekin, (iulesburg,
&c. Indeed few important structures in the in.
tenor of Illinois, public or private, arc now
erected without the use partly or entirely so
r ns stone is needed of artificial stone
made by the improved Plia nlx process. In Chi
eugo, also, since th great tire, it has come large
lv into use. over a hundred business us well ns
j
private edifices being built of this stone, includ
ing the large Staatzeillng printing establishment
of Mr. llesiug, John 15. Furwell's dry goods pal
ace, as well as his private dwelling, and so on. The
stone is also largely used in building sidewalks,
making those beautiful tessellated pavements
becoming so common in the southern part of the
city, and which, while believed to be as durable
us marble, cor.t no more than a brick or plank
sidewalk.
The ingredients used In the manufacture of
the stone are mainly sand and hydraulic cement,
and the peculiar advantage of Ottawa as u place
for its manufacture consists in the fact that the
whole city and its surroundings are underlaid
with unlimited quantities of the best sand in the
country for the purpose, while we are conven
ient to the great Utlca Cement Mills, and have
abundant cheap transportation for the convey
ance ot" the stone to nil points of the compass.
We kuve'said that the manufacture and use ol
artificial stone in this country is comparatively
recent, but that is true only with twine excep
tion, whilcl'm Europe and the East tone made
substantially by what is now known as the
I'rcar-Phienix process has been iu us j foi many
years, running backp in Asht Minor and Kgypt,
it is believed into thousands of y-'ars afro. In
Paris many of the most imposing structures dur
ing the past century have been built of artificial
stone, made chiefly of sand and u cement made
at Tell in Ardeche, und in England vast quanti
ties of u like stone have been made by the uc
of sand and the well-known Portland cement,
with, of course, certain chemicals. M. Lesseps,
the great Frer.eh engineer, In building the Suez
Canal, found it necessary, at Tort Said, ivhere
the cenal enters the Mediterranean, to construct
immense storm jetties, one :i,00!) and the other
2,515 yards long, and they were built entirely cf
artificial stone, the cement being brought from
Ardeche, iu France, and the sand used being that
. . . . - 1! 1 11..
ol the seashore, llicse jetties are sonu uuo
from three to six feet in thickness and ranging
from 2t' to 00 feet in height. Most of the stones
are solid in blocks weighing SO tons. Xo other
stone ever discovered, it is said, has becu found
to refeibt the action of saltwater und the waves
equal to this.
And the success of M. Lesseps in tlio manu
facture of this stone suggests anotner iaea,
which has caused considerable speculation
among antiquaries. In viewing the remains ol
ancient Egyptian architecture its temples and
obeli&k, in which stone arc often used of such
vast proportions und elevated to such impossi
ble heights, the conundrum has puzzled the
learned for centuries, by what sort of machin
ery, by what unknown and inconceivable engi
neering skill, were these stones 60 transported
from away up the Nile and then placed where
now found Pompcy's Tillar, for instance, rests
on a bams !25 feet in height; and upon that stands
a shaft ten feet in diameter und fifty feet in
height all one solid piece, without break or
joint; and surmounting tlil3 is anotner stone,
twenty-five feet In height, with a flat top, upon
which stood, or was meant to stand, a colassal
statue. How were these immense stones ele
vated to their place? The-solution suggested
by the operations of M. Lesseps is simple enough
the stones were built there taken up on scaf
folding, bucket full by bucket full and hamper
by hamjier full. The only unsolved puzzle that
remains lK.viig, how did the stone, thus ar
tificially made, receive its hugh polish a polish
which to this day enables a man standing forty
feet from that remarkable monolith, to see his
own reflection from its surface. After all, with
this exception, what is Pompcy's Pillar compar
ed lo the Light House which M. Lesseps con-
Htrnrteil at Port .Said? Thut is also built of
stone, without break or joint, that would weigh
hundreds of tons, with a base forty feet In di
ameter, and k IMi feet in height, or S7
feet higher than Pompey's Pillar, or any other
of the forty famous Egyptian obelisks.
But we are digrei-iug. The point we are
"driving at" of course is, thut this artificial stone,
being as durable as uny natural stone ever dis
covered, is in the way of the erection and orna
mentation of first class buildings, as well as In
the building of sidewalks, garden walls, to
be preferred to any other because it is capable of
iuflnitc ornamentation with the case oi pottery,
..rwl ut a fdnrth the cxneuse of common Jolici
lime stone or Batuvia sandstone.

Fs'KE PnoTECTiox. The people on the East
side having set the wholesome example of de
ciding to construct a cistern lor fire purposes at
their own expense, trusting to the city council
some day to reimburse them, we are now urged
to " stir up " the sluggish spirits of the people
of the 5th and (Hh wards to move iu the same di
ruction. The water In the canal and side-cut is
about to be drawn off, and witho-ut that the 5th
ward Is really left without an available drop of
water in case of fire, and the situation of the fith
ward, except in the vicinity of Mr. Strawu's well,
is permanently no less deplorable. AVhile It is
useless to await the action of the city council on
the subject, there is no doubt entertained that,
should the jieople themselves contribute the
money to construct the necessary cisterns now,
when the city treasury is relieved from its pres
ent straitened condition the council would re-
imburse the sums advanced to the contributors.
But whether this can be relied upon or not, the
i'K ki'i'iiiH so urge nt and the danger in the
wards indicated from fire so Imminent, that ac-
tion like that proposed is imperatively demand
ed even without reference to the Iiojhj oi uui
mate re-imbursement by the city.

Since the great O'Leary Weston walking tilt
every one has the walking fever, and fishy stories
of great feats in that line are heard on every
side, and each feels in duty bound to expatiate
on his own prowess. Out of such a spirit came
the match of this week at the Fair Grounds, be
tween Coles and Art Hughs, a two mile walk.
Coles made his first mile in ll.1.:; minutes, his
second in 13,',,'. Hughs made his first In
minutes, but was so petered out that he threw
up the sponge, and did not attempt a second.
This match fired the Spartan youth in our midst,
an on Tuesday Clarence Hobert tried his wind
and made a mile in less than 10 minutes, accord
ing to his watch. The rest of our walkists claim
that his watch must be a "stopper," or that he
struck the hulf mile track. Mr. II. thereupon
grew reckless and wagered his wealth in cigars
that he'd do it again. So the walk was set for
Thursday morning. He made the first quarter
mile in 2:10, the half in 4:!:s, and the mile in 'j:i-.
The feat has caused an immense Hurry among
our "legists" and the way money is Hying arnuud

THROWN ritOX A 1IOKSR.
On Sunday as our people were returning from
morning service at the churches, an a-enJent oc
curred on Madison sheet, which cacd consid-
rable alarm for the time being. 1. seems that
a young man, a nephew of Mr. F.lon Weaver, of
Prairie Center, was driving a cow out of the al
ley at the fontof Cmtit street, and in attempting
to turn the animal, his horse slipped on the flag
stone crossing und fell. The boy was pitched
oil" and picked up insensible, and was carried In
to Forbes .t Gehting's drug store, where he soon
recovered. Though somewhat bruised by the
fail, he was not seriously injured.
mk. c. II. HOOK,
our Circuit Cleik. on Monday evening, met with
a similar hurt. He was driving homo with a
friend at a rapid tate, and on turning the corner
at his residence the buggy was upset, pitching
Mr. II. and friend violently,to the ground. Mr.
II. had to be carried Into the house, being una
ble to rise, lie received some nasty cuts on the
faice, hut was not very much hurt. His friend
escaped uuhurt. The horse bruke l)oso from
the buggy, but ran only to the barn. It was a
narrow escape for Mr. Hook, aud but few men
could hae stood such a fall.

This seems to be an era of narrow escapes, as
another occurred at Utlca on Monday evening.
Some three or four gentlemen were waiting for
the 8 o'clock freight to come cast. The train
was switching, and Mr. E. Clark, Justice of the
Peace at Marseilles, was walking on one track
toward the caboose. While thus walking, he
heard a noise behind him, and on looking buck
saw the cars some 3 ot 4 feet from him, moving
