For years past piety and muscle have been generally considered as in antagonism. Ministers were hardly considered orthodox unless they were lean, gaunt, pale and dyspeptic. In fact the D.

D. attached to so many reverend gentlemen's name was more suggestive of dyspepsia than divinity, and they are more truthfully described doctors of dyspepsia than doctors of divinity.

Judge Barnard, iu tho Oyer and Terminer Conrt, New York, rendered tho following decision thi.4 morDir.g, on tho motion to adroit Coroner Kh han; Croker to bail The Conrt has looked Into tho of tho flr.ipil Jury, and has also considered largo part of tho testimony adduced lefore the O.rouer, ami i rUnrly vf oplul that the motion to admit to bail should bo denied.

Ton Court ha. purposely refrained from writing ativ opinion of tbe ease, for that would have involved necessarily Involved, to sovce extent, at analysis of the evidence taken before tho Coroner, and becattRO tho Court deems it to be all important that this prisoner should be tried without a feather's weight of prejudice of previou.ly expressed opinion on the part of the Court as well a8 the jury to try him. Tha Court, however. Is unwilling simply to deny the motion, without expressing its entire from the proposition, as a matter of law, thai any prisoner Indicted for murder, may successfully invoke, ou a motion to be admitted to bail, the powers of any Conrt or Judge, upon the mere ground of preponderance of evidence In his favor. Such a precedent would be dangerous in the exteeme, aad the Court thinks it is unsound.

II would involve the trial, to a certain extent, of every man indicted for murder, on paper, on testimony taken by the Coroner, Where the Court has no opportunity of seeing witnesses, examining tbem itself, and tasting their eredibllKy, weight and character, by skilled cross examination and the other appliances known to the law, on trial before a petty Jury; and would ploce it in the power of the Court, on a simple inspection of the written evidence, of Judging In advance, before trial in a proper and orderly manner, that there was such a preponderance of evidence That proposition would bs dangerous and unsound, and I cannot let the occasion pass without expressing my entire dissent. The proper course, when there is a conflict ot evidence, as here, is tbat adopted here, namely, to apply for and obtain, aa this person has, a speedy trial. Tho motion la denied. The prisoner waa then removed. herc as tho guardians of tho public, and Bhould vote for Mr.

llccd or any olher man for but one reason, anil that bocauso ho is tbe lowest bidder. (Slight Applause 1 Mr. Faxon's motion was lost, by a vote of 16 in the affirmative to 20 in the negative. The question then recurred on the motion of Mr Ammerman to award the contract to the Gold Ueatixut Company for $3,280. Mr.

Campbell voted No," for the reason that proposals fur hot air had uot been advertised for, ami also because a responsible firm would put in such an apparatus for $1,300. Mr. Ammcrnian's motion was lost by a vote of 11 in the affirmative to 20 in the negative. Mr. Cole then moved that the contract bo awarded fo John A.

Reed for the sum ot $4,037. Mr. A. B. Richardson asked to be excused from voting, for the reason that they had not received any intelligent opinion ou the subject.

It was not a matter of dollars and cents It was a matter of life and death. Mr. Baylia What is up now, Mr. President The members laughed and Mr. Richardson resumed his seat.

Mr. Cole's motion was carried by a vote of 29 In tho affirmative to 2 in the negative. Mr. A B. Martin moved that the contract to heat No.

3 be awarded to John A. Reed for $1 987. In doing ao Mr. Martin aaid Mr. Reed was ready to go right on with the work.

Mr. Rhodes was opposed to giving the contract to Mr. Beed, it was overweighting him, and he would never be able to complete hia contracts. Mr. Martin Then you dout know what yon are talking about.

Laughter and applause. Mr. Bennett was asked whether Mr. Reed would be able to go on, and also whether he was up to Urns in putting the apparatus into No. 24.

Mr. Bennett answered both questions in the affirmative. Mr. garrett Bergen thougfit So. 3 would be a good place at whioh to try the hot air system.

He should therefore move that the contract for heating that school be given to the Gold Heating Co, for $3,025. The motion was lost by vote of 13 in the affirmative to 18 in the negative. The motion to award the eontract to John A. Reed, was then carried by a n'ra voce rote. Mr.

Martin moved that the contract for heating No. 36 be awarded to John Elder, for $3,750. Tbe motion was carried. ORPHAN ASYLUM SCHOOLS. The Law Committee, to whom had been referred the application of the Managers of the Home for Indigent Children and the School of the Sisters of Mercy, for a distributive share of the public school fund, offered tbe following Ut.wired, That the President be and he is hereby authorized to appoint committees to have charge of the schools of the Home for Indigent Childxen and ot the Industrial School ot the Siatera ot Mercy, and tbat the proper officers of said institutions are hereby authorized to receive such distributive shares of the school moneys aa orphan asylums are entitled to, according to the number of scholars taught in such schools.

Adopted, THE OOLORZD BOY AT NUMBER THIRTY FIVE. Mr. Campbell read the following letter which was referred to the Law Committee Law Office or Frsimt Ssiruin, Brooklyn, E. Novsmber 23, 1874. Dear Sib Mr.

W. F. Johnson applies for admission for his child to School No. 35, ot which district he a resident. Under the law he has the absolute right to admission, and we cannot think that it will be denied, or tbat he win be driven to legal measures.

In the Church of the Mediator, at Ormond place and JefferBon street last evening, the Hon. John Oakey delivered his now leoture entitled "Mussulmeu in America," Tho auditorium was thronged by a brilliant and attentive audience, who manifested their appreciation of the wit and sentiment of the lecture by applauding Cot Oakey in the heartiest manner. The proceeds of the lecture were devoted to the Sunday Bohool fund. Upon being Introduced by Dr. Thomas F.

Cornell, the rector of the Church, Col. Oakey spoke as follows THE LECTURE. Far away beyond the sparkling waters of the blue Egean, on whose shores those Immortal conceptions of the beautiful were first breathed into existence, lies the land of mystery, of romance and of danger whoso name and fame snail ever live iu story and in song, so long as tongue can tell the tale, or silver respond with tuneful echo to the touch of the melodious lyre. Where the nightingale awakens of the night" and the Muezzin sounds the mid day call, "To prayers; to prayers and as his cry thrills the ears of the followers of tho Prophet of Mecca, the hum of the great oity la stilled ue by 'he voice of God, tho noise of commerce is hushed to sdlonoe, the voleo of pleasure is turned into praise, while tho countless multitude, with united heart and voice, turn toward Mecca in humble adoration and devotion to Mahomet, the prophet of AUau. The land whose "Everlasting Hilla" point heavenward mute, yet speaking witnesses of the glory of Christ's divinity and tho shame of our humanity.

In that sacred dust, with desecrating footsteps polluting the earth he treads, and tainting the air be breathes, lives and walka to day the degraded Mussulman. His government as feeble as a breath, hia nstlon the prey of smbitious despots, the brightness of his crescent well nigh obscured. And soon will Turkey (without even the spology of a Thanksgiving) he Bwept from the face of the earth. But ae the crescent moves toward its setting, to rise no more forever, still faster from the gates of the morning rises a planet shooting rapidly toward the zenith, with comet Ilka velocity, sheading a splendor and glory unequaled. lis the star of the MuBcleman of America, THE AMERICAN MUSQLEMAN, traveling on his muscle.

Nowhere elae on the face of the globe does there exist a greater necessity for a muscular revolution and reformation than in our midst. The defeats that have ever awaited us in our muscular contests with other nations, forces us to the humilistlng oonf ession that aa a rule we are sadly deficient in muscle and musoular culture. Being a nation young and soaroely fledged we have been compelled almost by a necessity to devots so much attention to the development of the body polltio In its various ramifications, that we have almost entirely neglected the culture of the body muscular. The strife for honor, the pursuit of literary and Bdentiflo eminence, the struggle for gold and the demands of tyrannic fashion, have ab Borbed the energies of the people. It is truly wonderful to contemplate and hard to comprehend the utter disregard of nature's laws snd the Ignoring of the necessity for muscular exercise and bodily recreation that has existed here.

We have been as fearful of a breath of fresh air as if it were tho deadly siroccos of the desert. And, furthermore, it has been oonsldered aristocratio and asWonabla to be delicate. Every lady thinks it is interesting to be a little languishing and enjoy some pet disease. Health is vulgar and loft for servants. One of the greatest essentials of female education is being taught the science of how to be delicate, or as It is termed "looking ladylike." Our young school girls commence Uf by drinking vinegar, eating pickles and chewing slate pencils to produce languor; and continue patronizing some other abomination equally deleterious when they reach an age when they ought to know better.

Our girls from glgglebood upward are instructed that to" eat hearty is vulgar: that a slice of strawberry, out thin, or something equaUy subBtantiaL (a the extent to which etiquette will permit a lady to Indulge in public. What a degeneracy from the good old (lays of yore, when tt waa considered a glory to be hale and hearty. But our ladies now a days, don't est, never allow the winds of heaven" to visit them too roughly, cut entirely the sisqualDtwioo of airs (except the operatic, and those they put on), In fact, are aa extremely delicate, that when attending concert or opera, are afraid to sit too near the orchestra for fear of catching cold from the wind instruments. Every young man despises manual labor, aspires to a profession, or, at least, to a position In some kind of an office, no matter what. Hard work la unfashionable, aud therefore despicable.

Look at the majority of OUR YOUNG HEN who are to be our hope and reliance in the future, and see into what hands the destinies of this mighty Ropubllc must be intrusted. The sole aim of their lives is to be considered 6io their highest ambition to acquire the reputation of libertine" and spoiler, their proudest deeds to squander in clubs and masquerades, on theatrical blondosand in riotous and unholy living, the fortunes amassed by tho sweat and toil of industrious parents, who dishonor the authors of their being by referring to them as tbe "old man and the "old woman," who address their sister as "sis," and call their youuger brothers "purp;" who turn night Into day and pass the bours for rest iu riot and dissipation, polluting the younger blood, and poisoning the fountain 6f life with deadly chemical compounds, and who can't get up without a oocktail aa an eye opener or go to bed without a nightcap.

OTIC nunilren le Awarding Contracts for Heating New School Houses. The Herlts of Steam and Hot Air Discussed Report of the Committee on Heating' and Ventilation Doubts Respecting the Specifications Contracts Awarded to the Lowest BiddersAid for Orphan AsylumsThe Colored Boy Johnson, et. A special meeting of the Board of Education was held at four o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Depot Building, Red Hoot lane. E. J.

Whltlock, President, in the chair. The meeting had been called for the purpose of receiving a report from the Heating and Ventilating Committee, and also to docide upon some plan for tho enforcement of the Compulsory Education Act. A large number of the representatives firms dealing in steam heating apparatus were present in the lobby. Mr. Campbell from the Committee on Heating and Ventilating, presented the following report BnoosxTK, November 1874.

To the Board of Education Gestlemeh The Oonvmitteo to whom the estimates for heating schools Nos. 31, IX 2 and 80 waa referred.re apectfully report that the estimate received from the Gold Heating Company was not oonsldered, as it was not in accordance with the specifications or advertisement soliciting proposals, not being a steam apparatus. John A. Reed, the lowest bidder in Nos. 31, a and 13, and who ia now oomplerinK a contract for heating No.

2t with a new kind ot boiler, the Committee deem It beat not to award him any more work until the above la finished in accordance to his contract with tho Board of Education. John Elder, the next lowest bidder for schools Nos.31, 13, 2 and 36, never having performed for the Board of Education, your Committee do not think this a proper time to give so important a contract to him. oonsldering the small differenoe in price between him and the next highest bidders Messrs. Angell, AtwaYer Co. who have heated and ventilated nearly every school under the care of tbe Board for the last fourteen years, and have always performed their work promptly and faithfully without a charge of an extra dollar on one of the schools.

At a meeting of the Heating and Local Committees of schools Nos. 31, 12, 2 and 36, they deemed it for the best interest of the Board to award the contract to Messrs. Angell, Atwater Co. Signed by the Committee, Felix J. S.

Burr, G. H. SMITH. And in accordance with the instructions of the Committee, would offer the following Resolved, That the contract for heating schools Nos. 31, 12, 2 and 36, be awarded to Messrs.

Angell, Atwater for the sum of $22,660.00. The report was accepted. A MINORITY REPORT was submitted by Mr. Culyer as follows: November 24, 1874. Gentlemen: The undersigned member of the Committee, to wnom was referred the consideration of the several proposals for hearing new schools, begs leave to differ with tho report of the Committee, on the ground that the lowest bidderB are reputable men and represent efficient apparatus adapted to the purpose of this Board.

J. Y. Colyek. The report was accepted. Mr.

Faxon moved the adoption of the resolution appended to the majority report. Mr. Fnrey presented a report from John Elder 4 setting forth that they were lower bidders than Angell, Atwater i and protesting agalnBt the contracts being awarded to them. Mr. A.

B. Martin, as an amendment, moved the adoption of the minority report. Mr. Culyer presumed the merits of tho Gold Heating Company's system would occasion discussion, but he found the Committee had rejected their proposals, for the reason that thoy were not according to the specifications. It was said that their sj'stem was that known as hot air furnace, which had kept pace with what had been done with the steam apparatus, and he did not think the Board should set itself against any improvements which might be brought to its notice.

He waa not prepared to say that the hot air furnace would compare with tho steam beating system; but he thought it would, and the Board would do well to give the matter proper consideration before awarding the contracts. There was a marvelous interest taken in tbe bids of Angell, Atwater fi and he found that employes of the Board had gone round the city, bringing it to the favorable notice of members of the Board. Mr. Garrett Bergen moved that the Board go into Committee of tho Whole In order that the subject under consideration might be fully discussed. The motion was lost.

Mr. Campbell denied that employes of the Board had been going round talking about the apparatus of Messrs. Angell, Atwater St Co. He not only denied it, but challenged proof. Mr.

Ammernian said he affirmed it. Mr. Bergen thought by trying the experiment of heating a school lyjildlng with hot air, the Board might, perhaps, save fifty per cent, in the coat of such apparatus. Mr. Maujer aaid an experiment was already being tried in No.

10. Mr. Bergen denied that such was the case, and said the statement only proved how RIDICULOUSLY IGNORANT a man cauid be. Mr. Furoy moved to anieud the resolution offered by the Committee, that tho contract bo awarded to J.

Elder, for $20,250. On referring to the bids he found that the total amount of these sent in by AngeU, Atwater 4n AW) A a. 41ia fjmmit an proposed to give them the contract for he would like to know what had caused that difference? Mr. Campbell stated that a saving would be effected by using boilers liko those of Nos, 10 and 14; it was thst which caused the reduction spoken of by Mr. Furey.

In answer to another question, he said he had never visited an apparatus put up oy jonu ciaer, uiu did not know anything at all about them. Mr. Carroll asked whether the New York schools were heated with steam or hot air 7 Mr. Furey said hot air. A division of the question was moved by Mr.

Bergen. Mr. Campbell stated that aU parties had equal facilities afforded them in the matter of bidding. The motion to divide the question'was carried. The question then recurred on awarding the contract for heating No.

31 to Messrs. Angell, Atwater A at $0,000. Mr. B. Martin asked whether the Local Committee had aigned that report.

Mr. Campbell Bald hia impression was that the Local Committee concurred in the recommendation made by the Committee on Heating and Ventilating. To award the contract for that school to Messrs. Angell, Atwater A Co. would maka a difference of about two and a ball per but during the last fourteen years they had done honor to themselves in always keeping faith with the Board.

They were a large firm, and able to go to work without delay, and have the apparatus in working order within thirty days. He waa not going to say a word against any one who had put in a bid, but during the last month he had been bored almost to death by persons asking him to do this for that man and something else for the other man. He did not think the practice of aending circulars, to members of the Board ought to be encouraged, for the last time a man resorted to that plan the Board gave him tbe achools, and what was the conseqnenoe 1 Since that time (hey had been obliged to spend $10,000 for repairs in these tonools, and therefore he hoped the Board, with its usual good sense, would not hesitate, but award the contracts to those who had proved reliable in the past. Mr. Thomas thought some misunderstanding had arisen In reference to the specifications.

From what he had learned the bidders all complained about that matter. Mr. Culyer was surprised that Mr. Campbell had not made himself familiar with the apparatus of John Elder, Jr. Now things ought not to be neglectod, for if they THERE WOULD NEVEE BE ANY PROGRESS.

Mr, Campbell did not want the Board to understand that Angell, Atwater Co. had performed work in the same manner for fourteen years. They were always improving and there was not a new contrivance which they did not utilize. Mr. BayUs thought an error had been committed in the outset In Inviting competition at all.

They were throwing out lower bide and solemnly resolving to give tho contracts to partiea who had always done work for the Board, without, it Boomed to him, any good reason being given for such a cowne. Tbe question thoy desired answering was, why were the contracts not awarded to the lowest bidders? In tho estimates aa they came in Mr. Seed's amounted to $18,757 and Mr. At watcr's to $26,000, but then, it seemed that at a subse guent time Mr. Atwater was afforded an opportunity bid on other specifications and hia estimate was reduced to $22,860.

Now, the question was, did Mr. Reed and Mr. Elder have an opportunity to bid on those modified specifications It might be true, as tho Committee stated, that it would be for tho interest of the Board to award the contract to Messrs. Atwater but he failed to ace it. He was desirous of doing right In the matter, but for want of more information than he had yet received, he was not prepared to vote for the adoption of the resolution offered by the Com mifr.6A.

B. Jfattin had been informed ihot all the bidders had not been afforded an opportunity to estimate on more than the first specifications. He did not intend that Mr. Reed ahould be shelved, as proposed by the Committee, and In order that the Board might act intelligently, he moved that as Mr. Reed was the lowest bidder, the contract for No, 31 be awarded to him.

Mr. Bowe moved tho previous question. Mr. Cadley. who had obtained the floor before Mr.

Howe's motion was seconded, said, he, Hie Mr. Martin, failed to understand why all the bidders had not been offered an opportunity to estimate on more than one set of specifications. Mr. Carroll had failed to learn anything from what tho Committee had said, except that the apparatus of Angell, Atwater Co. waB a good one.

The opparatus of Mr. Read was also good, and as he was tho lowest bidder he should vote to give him the contract. Mr. Bennett said Mr. Reed was doing good work in No.

24, which, he believed, would be the best and most economioally heated school in the city. He had proved himself to be a very competent moechanlo and had given ample security for the proper performance of his work. But oven if Mr. Reed did not get the contract it should bs given to Elder who were $1,800 lower than Angell, Atwater it Oo. He ahould do there as in other places, vote to award tho contract to the lowest bidder, for ifthey did not do so, the whole matter would be a farce, and they had BETTER OrvE CP ADVERTISING and elect Angeii, Atwater Co.

Heaters and Ventilators to the Board from henceforth and forever. Mr. Forman moved that the whole matter be referred back to the Committee, with instructions to reodverUso for proposals. Cries of "Oh, no." Mr. Rhodes toped the Board would open the door Justs little so that Angell, Atwater Co.

should not continue to control the business of cation. A very important potat to oonaidor vraa, could the Tweet bidders apparatus of AngelLAtwater Co. in case their's should no? wove successful It was a well known fact tint in thp Niw VorkVchoola tho apparatus of Angell, Atwater 4 Co! had bio" Tuken output in thia city it hadan swered remsricibly well. Mr Forman's motion was lOBt. The ouestion then recurred on Mr.

Martin's motion that the contract be awarded to John A. Beed for $4, "8i1. Bavlis Is that the lowest bidder. The President No sir, the Gold Heating Company nut in a bid for $3,280 thelra ia the hot air syBtem. Mr.

Reed Is the lowest bidder for steam heating. Mr. Fitzgibbon, in explanation of his vote, said although Mr. Reed's apparatus was manufactured in Greenpolnt he was afraid tbat it would not answer tbe purpose of heating the school. He should vote no.

Mr. Martin's motion to award the contract to Jno. A. Rood was carried by a vote of 23 in the aflrmativo to 11 In the negative. Mr.

Cadley moved that the contract for heating No. 12 be swarded to Jno. A Beed for $3,280. The motion was seconded by Mr. Martin.

Mr, Ammerman moved as an amendment that the contract be awarded to the Gold Heating Company, for $3,230. The amendment was aocopted. Mr. Faxon hoped the amendment would not prevail. The hot air furnace had been tried and did not do well, it was not as good aa the poorest steam apparatus.

If the Board desired to do what waa just and fair, and consider hot air furnaces at all, the matter ought certainly to go back to the Commit toe. Mr. Campbell said he could get No. 12 heated with hot air for $1,600, and 11 they were going to use hot air at sS, it would only be fair to advertise for proposals. Mr.

Faron moved as as amendment that the contract be awarded to John Elder, for $5,250. Mr. Culyer explained that in the hot air system proposed to be used at No. 12 the air would not be deadened, and the experiment was one weU worth trying on ita merita alone. Mr.

Baylia said that to vote for Mr. Faron'a motion was to depart from the principle on which they bad started out, which was to AWARD THE CONTRACT TO TBE LOWEST BIDDER. Mr. Faron said the Board directed the Committee to advertlao for steam heating apparatus, consequently the Gold Heating Hot Air Company was ruled out. They had given Mr.

Reod SehooINo. 24, and also No. 31, and as the difference between his bid and tbat of Mr. Elder's for No. 12 was only $263, he thought they should Mr.

BayUs Wo have nothing to give away. From Wednesday's Four O'clock Edition. THANKSGIVING. How Brooklyn Will Eat its Turkey mi Show Gratitude. Thf Arrangements for the Celebration in the Churches and in the Charitable Institutions.

crfeot day Wbareon no man shall work, but play Whercoo it ia enough for me Not to be doing, but to be To morrow, Thanksgiving day, suggests two ideas which differ from one anollier as inanity from ipoe, eternity Troin time, and jet ire not unnaturally or irreverently associated. Tue one depict the heauU til and sublime act of a great and powerful' nation stopping for a few hours in its career to look back upon time that ia no more, to reoount ita gloriea and triumphs, the spread of ita influenoe and the proaparity of of ita people so that, with grateful heart it may bow down before (he Supreme Ruler add acknowledge and thank Him as the source of all ita power and greatneaa. The bella are loudly ringing to call the worshipers from valleys and hills, to list to the holy preaching. The distracting hum of worldly labor la drowned In the mighty tones of the organ and theoud joyous anthems of praise from young and old floating upon the air like invisible epirita murmuring Te Denmt to raaeh the throne of the Great Creator! In as aga when one heara eo much of disloyally to time honored customs, disregard for the venerable and consecrated traditions of bygone days, insolent revolt againat all restraint and pretty general defiance or indifference to a Supreme Being, it is eiceeainglT refroahing to witness the youngest, yet one of the most potent nation, reminding its elder brothers and sisters of their childhood faith in Providence, and showing them by example that while the greatest liberty of conscience is guaranteed by tho Constitution, and no particular creed or aeot can olaim dominion over the national conscience, yet the belief in the One Oodjof all, as the Master and source of all power and greatness, ia kept alive and annually manifested in divers acta of gratitude, by the individual member of the society, according to hia particular way of thinking, and by society at large laming a special day for the purpose. THB rNSriTTTIOW OT TBAHXBOITISO BAT, aa we all know, ia due to the Puritan Fathers, though it has taken a wider range and purpose than they conceived.

Ita origin waa the shallow and circumacribed faith of the day, whioh divided men and made them hate one another, because perchance their littk finite minds disagreed about 'the nature and esaence of the Supreme and Infinite, and their souls worahiped Him at different altars, with different paraphernalia and according to different forms. The Puritan, driven from his native land by an antagonistic creed, determined to revenge himself by getting as far away from its tenets and celebrations aa possible, and by wiping out from his ecclesiastical calendar all that might be regarded as ita especial property. It was with this feeling and for this purpose tho Puritan abolished the oelebration of Christmas, aa if it could bo considered the property of any Christian sect which was a common glory and source of praise to all. The abrogation ieft a dark day in the ecclesiastical year, aud soon the necessity was felt of having something to be a landmark or sort of half way house in its stead, where the Christian bouI might pause to recount its gains and losBes for one year, take courage from the good accomplished, and return thanks for all the benefits bestowed, to the Giver of all good gifts, and go on its way rejoicing, and with new vigor for another year. The season most appropriate for such acts was naturally in the days nearly preceding the close of the year, aud hence the Puritan appears to have selected the month of November.

But before the century in which Thanksgiving Day was substituted for Christmas has expired, the barriers tha made an exclusively sectarian holiday, confined to the narrow limita of New England, have been swept away, and from a sectional institution it has become one of the few national festivities which the whole American people love to celebrate and cherish. IT HAS LOST ALL ITS BXCLirarTOESS it now belongs to no particular creed, but lain the keeping of them all. From being a day in which a large body of high sonled men and women worshiped God with fear and trembling, it has been exalted to the dignity of a national celebration, whose praise and adoration speak of a living God whom the philosophers of the age strive, but Btrivc in vain, to crowd out from His beautiful creation, by a substitution of the finite and material for the infininite and spiritual Tbe working out of thiB beautiful, grand and sublime idea of a worshiping nation will be seen in all tho churches of the land to morrow, and, as might be expected, the celebration will be especially noteworthy in Brooklyn, the centre of religious thought and tbe City of Churches in this New World. All creeds anil denominations, as will be seen from the appended programmes and notices, will have their appropriate services in the morning. THEEE WILL BE SERMONS PREACHED in all the churches, and the musical attractions will bo considerable.

Among the Roman Catholics there will be several masses celebrated, beginning generally at 6 A. and every half hour from then to 9 A. when a solemn high mass will be sung by junior choirs. In the non Catholic communities, the exercieas will be pretty much the same on Sabbath days, except that the revered preachers may pay more attention to the political polity of the nation than its strides toward Christian perfection. There waa a time when people used to take an interest in hearing the dominie discuss politics on Thanksgiving Day, for it waa about tho only time in the ecclesiastical year that he dared venture to ventilate his political views in the sanctuary.

They were strange men, those ministers of by gone days 1 Their reverence for the house of God was aa great aa that of the Jews for tho Temple before the politicians and the money changers began to pollute its sacred environs. They seemed to think that the pulpit or sacred platform was st least to be protected from the pollution of political strife and intrigue, and ahould not be tbe battle ground for those great contentions that stir up the avarice and ambition of men, divide them into hostile camps, and shake society to its centre. But with the progress of this liberal Nineteenth Contury, all this has been changed. POLITICS HAS BECOME A MOST 5BOLTJIO SOURCE of pulpit eloquence, and the worthy parishioner has no longer to wait until Thanksgiving Day to ascertain the political faith of his pastor. However, it ia little to be apprehended that the preachers in pointing out the material benefits, will fail to remember those of a spiritual character conferred by a wise Providence during the year.

The progress of the missionary work at home and abroad will be dwelt upon; and the poor Indian will receive his meet of praise and compassion. But, while the wards of the Government are so tenderly remembered, it is to be hoped that some kind hearts will turn to the poor and miserable nearer home who have none to care for them, whose lives are a burden, and whoso footsteps are always treading the rough path leading to Calvary. No more acceptable act of thanksgiving could be rendered than the furnishing to the poor of tbiB city the necessaries of life. There is indubitably great suffering in our midst which cannot be reached for many reasons, either by our public or our private charities. Hard times have stricken the impecunious when the public charities were most unprepared to lessen the blow and ameliorate their condition by discreet almsgiving.

Through the bungling legislation of men knowing as little about the wants of the poor, and caring about the same as the Kings and legislators of the Old Country who accumulated poor laws ostensibly for the good of the unfortunate pauper, but really for their own enrichment and tbat of their friends. The poverty stricken of Einga County to day have no asylum from their misery and want, except the County Almshouse, from which those temporarily embarrassed are excluded by a laudable self respect and (he severity of (he laws. To shed a ray of sunshine on such homes, to drive the wolf lrom the door and give encouragement to the unfortunate, will certainly be one of the most pleasing forma thanksgiving can take to morrow. Many charitable persons have already made up their minds to do some thing in this way, and, hence we learn that at the several homes whore the little waif of society seeks shelter at nights, at the News Boys' Homes, and at other benevolent institutions there will be festive tables spread, and among the good things will be prominent roast turkey and cranberry sauce. EOAST TURKEY AND CRANBERRY SAU0E is the other pleasing idea which Thanksgiving Day suggests Without this traditional diah it would lose one of ita component parts it would be no more Thanksgiving Day than any well spent Sabbath.

How roast turkey and cranberry sauce came to be regardod aa such an important element of this festivity the writer is not sufficiently well versed in historical vagaries to say. It is hardly conoeivable, however, that the severe Puritan ever Inaugurated or countenanced in his time the practice which has made of these United States, jnst at present, one vast slaughter house for the turkey family. At first, one is shocked at tbe association of Ideas which finds expression in the wholesale slaughter of turkeys and rendering praise to the Creator, and asks why is it thai tula barbaric and bloody warfare against God's creatures in the name of religion is persisted in without one word of remonstrance of the so callod philanthropists who extend protection to dogs, cats, rats and other vermin. Why is all this slaughter to make a holiday for this people? WELL, LP THE TURKEY FAMILY DOESN'T OBJECT, and nobody has ever heard of them sending a remonstrance to the House of Representatives or State Legislatures or any of our local boards, we have no right to assume their wrongs and resent them, thereby incurring the enemity of an indignant public If they are witling to be scalped about this time to make a holiday for a grateful people, they are deserving of all praise and their names should be transferred to distant proa terity with the solo and exclusive right of being the traditional dish par excellence on eachramrring Thanksgiving Day. To bo sure, some of them have hod a long term of have grown unpreoedentedly large on the good feed which has been furnished them yet, nolwithstuiding all this, they axe deserving to be classed with those who have from time immortal distinguished themselves by laying down their lives pro amort pa triir.

IF THB REPUBLICANS, WHO WERE 80 FEARFULLY WHIPPED by thVDemocratTaTthe lasrelectJbb, would oniy "reflect on thB heroism and self sacrifice of tho turkey family, a very profitable lesson might be learned, one of resignation and humble submission, and one of glorious self sacrifice pro aniore patrlce on the first day of January next or on or before tho first of next May, when all Re publicans holding local offices will be slaughtered, and served up to an exultant band of patriots carrying in their right hand tho banner of the nation, and their honor concealed somewhore about their person the Lord knows where Still even in defeat, thej can find souirtiiiSK to be thankfnl for, something In the past whioh will anSUm kogt toe tbe atiW, Tktl will bo exercises in (he churches.

But if the males of this country have been culpably neglectful of health and muscular development, the women are guilty to a greater extent in committing willful murder against their health and constitutions by a blind obedience to fashion's laws, be they ever so sub aoraive of thoae of nature and common senBe. Nature never intended or never made woman weak and delicate, but fashion has made her both.

So fashion has promulgated her decrees, be they ever so absurd, dangerous or destructive, both to health and life, those dictations wiU be blindly followed and religiously obeyed. Health, life and womanly delicacy will be sacrificed on theprocrustean bed of its arbitrary requirements. Fashion decrees that the free pulsation of the throbbing, beating heart be stayed, and lo! life is walsted in the endeavor for waspish proportions. Let fashion attack the hair, woman's greatest glory, and beauty and life becomes IMPERILED BY BATS and mice and other unmentionable vermin in the head. Colds are Induced by the aqueous element, waterfalls in the head, creeks in the back, high tide shoes, and a motion an ocean in the cranium.

Yet Fashion descends from head to foot, and tho heels changes to the middle of tbe foot, and bunions attest to the agony of their "Pilgrim'a Progress." But Fashion, in spite of health and decency, will ba blindly followed. But, as if this hoalth destroying, death inviting style of dress should perchance fail of accomplishing ita direful mission, and our lady escapes consumption or death, she goes out into society with slippored feet, dressed in pink and silver, a cloud of gauze and ribbons, neck warmed with a nccklaoe and arms atript to the shoulder and "blushing to be so bare." Curled, beslippered and bejowelod, looking so pretty, she emerges from her furnace home and plunges into ths chining atmosphere, to be whirled thus full dressed or half dressed to some other furnace equally as fiery. To be huddled together like sardines packed in oil, to madly whirl In tho mazes of the dance in the tight embrace of some tight young man, Half perfumed with Lubin, And half with amoke and wine crush squeeze, and jam down to supper at midnight, and when thus heated, and blazing like a burning Etna, crammed with ices and aU manner of indigesti bles, and loaded with a nest of nightmares, plunges again on her return into the bitter night air, with its death ladened miasms, to reach home near mom. To bed but not to rest, and to repeat the same routine night after night, while the aeason lasts. What wander that the roses pale on her cheeks, that the light dies in her eye, and tie life of herlimba vanishes away.

And then when she baa gone through the usual number of Winter seasons and done Saratoga and Newport and finally entraps some unsuspecting victim in the meshes of the matrimonial net, what a preparation has this sort of life given her, and what a capital with whioh to undertake the realities and duties devoIvinupon a woman in her sphere aa a wife and a mother. What false ideas of home and woman's mission. False in heart, false in thought, false to nature and to nature's God, and a fraud upon her husband. Oh, poor deluded husband! who finds, alas! when too late, that heart, soul, hair, teeth, BLOOM, ALABASTER, VOLUPTUOUS FORK, and youthful vivacity, all are fictions, and can be reckoned in dollars and cents, at so much a set, so much a bottle, so much a box, and so much a yard, and that ho can take the wife of hlB bosom to pieces like a manuikin and move her on the first of May fn several wheolbarrow loads. Is it to be wondered at that nature vindicates her own justice by inflicting the severest penalties upon these simple violations of her obvious laws Is it strange that leading such lives our young women are old before they have reached twenty fivo years, with haggard expression, shrunken bodies, frequent ailments and debility that our young men are weak in tho back, with contracted chests, bent shoulders, shrunk muscles, spindle shanks, excitable nerves, with complexions like an undone buckwheat cake, and eyes like dropsical oysters.

But not content with self immolation and destruction, the fashionable mother rears her child in a similar unnatural oourse of life. She instructs the little innocent to repress the sweetness and vivacity that constitute the charming simplicity of childhood. She would ae soon think of sending her darling down the yawning crater of Vesuvius, as to dream of sending her out of doors on a lovely mild June morning to ploy with the winds without having carefully buried her dear little head in a sepulchre of an enormous sunbonnet of tho symmetry and beauty of a coal souttle. Shutting out tha fresh air of heaven from her little lungs, and distorting the fair face of nature by an enormity of green vail, and imprisoning her tiny hands on detestable rat skina, and then ahe only allows her to play awhile after repeated admonitions "to be sure and not go into the sun," and then she sends her to dancing school to learn French gyrations, aa soon almost as she can walk; and the Utile Miss In pantalettes goes to parties and bos her sweethearts and beaux as soon aa ahe is able to understand the signification of the term. She treats her little boy in a similar manner; dresses him up in expensive costume, and then forbids him to play and Indulge hia natural instincts, lest he should soil his Handsome clothes.

Refuses to let niav with bovs of his own age and engage in their romps and sports, lest his nervous system might be dangerously excited by getting a OBAOE IN THE EYE with a ball, or bis nasal organ knocked into unexpected prominence by an unlucky twist of tho bat; and positively refuses to let him learn to ewim except on his most positive assurance only to kick out on one of the chairs in the parlor and not go near the water. In fact, little boys and girla have been crushed by so much mistaken maternal anxiety and watchfulness, that they are like siokly grass struggling for existence under a haystack. The necessity of care for tho long neglected body baa at length begun to force Itself upon the minds and the consciences oi tne peopte, uoj are ueiug wuu.cu a realizing sense of the terrible punishment that must sooner or later inevitably follow nature's positive laws. And in the dawning of this brighter day, Young America's around. Hia back is up.

he Is growing Bpunky, and in bis yearning for liberty he draws his Jack knife from his capacious pockot, and with one terrific sweep severs the maternal apron strings, donB a shirt with flaming trimmings, with a heroism worthy of TeU, WaUace or a Washington, inspired with the same spirit that fired our Yankee Doodle, declares he will be free, with his ball for ammunition, and shouldering his bat, goes forth to do or nobly perish in the attempt. And Miss Rosebud, too, begins to snuff the air of liberty, and undertakes to get up another revolution a new edition of the War of the Roses. Public sentiment, I repeat, has changed to a remarkable extent. Two of my classmates in collage were expelled, one for playing billiards and the other for rou fog ten pins. Now, the Rev.

Henry Ward Beecher appears an Interested spectator at a public billiard tourna mont and it is not considered sinful or setting a bad example, but only a little erratic. Among all classes of society THB NECESSITY FOR RELAXATION and exercise is being more and more understood and appreciated. The ladles have commenced to lend their attention to the warning voice of the musclemen, have formed archery, skating, riding, boating and croquet clubs. They now eschew paper soles and wear boots, and if they will only oonUnuo in the way they have ao grandly commenced, they will soon beoome good and ealthy muscle women. The future is bright with hope and gives cheering indications of a great and glorious result that will crown the labors of tho muaoleman In America.

Exercise, recreate, strive aa far aa lies tn your power to be yourselves and to tram up your crJldren to be good and faithful musclemen and musclswomen. Then shall Amerioa, in tho new light of awakened and strengthened genius, freed from the imbecility and effemmaoy thathaa ao long fettered its power, point with glowing pride to her sons and daughters. Great in rnind and in soul, grand in their inteUeotual origin alityand depth ot thought, great to bodily as well aa mental vigor and perfection; distinguiBhed above all the world for their Intellect, genius, beauty and muscle. At the termination of the lecture thoaudienoe were requested by tbe rector, Mr. Carroll to remain seated for a few moments.

Mr, Spencer E. Van Bokkeleu, then mounted the platform and read an address of thanks to Mr. Oakey for his interesting and euoceesf ul lecture, and concluded by requesting his acceptance of a gift from the Infant class. Mr. Oakey, evidently surprised, unroBed the bundle and disclosed a baby's sock and ahoelets exquisitely embroidered.

A roar of laughter arose from the audience amid which Mr. Oakey was heard to say: "I most sincerely thank the Infants for their kind remembrance, but tho greatness and appropriateness of the gift entirely overwhelms me, and I will endeavor to have them occupied at the earliest practical moment." PERSONAL. O'Brien. Terence O'Brien, a well known hotel keeper of Jamaica, L. died at bis residence in that village on Saturday.

Mr. O'Brien was atquainted with a raoe of drivers of good horses, who hava almost all passed away. When Jamaica was a favorite resort for Brooklyn drivers, O'Brien was chief stableman at Remsen's hotel. His knowledge of horses, and his attention to his business, made him many friends. In this position he acquired some money, and opened a hotel of his own, known aa the "Railroad House." Sucoeedlng in this enterprise, he opened a larger house, known ae the Union Hotel." The fortunes of Jamaica were sharod, in thoix ups and downs, by Mr.

O'Brien. The horse railroad, and the opening of other resorts, turned those who drove good horses in other directions. Awtho half way house to Eookawoy, Summer travcuers stopped there In large numbers. With direct railroad communication to the south side of Long Island, the place went backward, and the business of the hotels decreased accordingly. Mr.

O'Brien had resided in tho village nearly forty years. He was but a short time sick and died very suddenly at about two o'clock Saturday morning. Hooker. Gen, Hooker, "Fighting Joe Hook eras ho was known to the "boys in blue" of the Mexican and of the late war, has been stopping for Beveral weeks past at Stewart's Garden Oity Hotel, The General has only a partial use of one side, but he is otherwise in good health, and still retains muoh of tho manly comeliness which distinguished him when he was accepted as one of the stateliest and handsomest officers in tho service of the Government. General Hooker is now on the retired list.

With tho visitors to the hotel he talis about farming, politics, the events of the late war, and he is aocopted by all who are favored by his company and acquaintance aa a moat unpretentious, well informed and courteous gentleman. Bradley Assemblyman eleot Bradley is already hard at work in the interest of his constituents. A few days since he visited Contronor Sreen to ascertain what could be dona toward re esUbllshing the ferry recently running to Bridge street. The property owners on tbe line of the street must do something to offset tbe evident decadence of a thoroughfare whioh ought to be one of tho business streets of Brooklyn. The Ferry Company notified those interested on on the street, before taking off their boats, tbat they would not ooacinue to run them, unless tbe street was put tn BUoh condition that vehicles could travel over it.

Several attempts have been made to have the atreet re paved, but in every instance the project was defeated by property owners on the street, who appear to have obtained their victories st the oost of depreciating their own property. Mr. Bradley oouia not do a better thing than to call the property owners on the street together again. Mr. Bradley is, we believe, above the suspicion of jobbery, and as he appears to have the eonfldanoe ef both parties to the re pavement controversy, he may be able to do for this section of tho city what has hitherto been attempted vain.

Oookji. Col. Cooke, one of the editors and proprietors of the Utiea OHerwr, visited Brooklyn, recently, and conferred with several of the local Democratic leaders on the question of na" Senator from thia State. CoL Cooke ia warmly in favor of his townsman, Mr. ftfnds Ker.

nan. He found the Brooklyn Dfta," aa earnestly in favor of the election of their fellow townsman, the Hon. Henry O. Murphy. Difference in opinion, however, made no difference tn the manifestation of persons! regard toward the representative of journal whioh is now recognized as one of the ablest in Central and Western New York.

WH1HNG. ComT hwionert of City Work's. Attaat: P. XoRTflVP, BewntrT. n3i IK CAR LAW.

When Ton May Ride on the Front Platform. If the Company Don't Prevent it, They Allow it A Sunday Skating Parry to Prospect Park, and rVIiat Befell One of the Company. Iu the General Term of the City Court, yesterday afternoon, before Judges Neilson end Reynolds, a motion for a new trial in the cause of Thomaa EnniB against The Coney Island Railroad Company, was argued. The case is one which involves many nice points of law, and is of great Interest to all travelers by city railroads. On Sunday, January 12, 1873, Thomas Enuis, aged 14, of 242 Plymouth stroet, started in company with other boys for a skate on Prospect Park.

AU the boys except Thomas got on a Coney Island car, at Jay and Prospect streets. Thomas, having forgotten his fare, ran back for it, and caught up with the car at Sands stroet, where it stopped to take on passengers. The roar platform was occupied by several persons, and Thomas put his foot on the step of the front platform, and waa in the aot of getting on, when, as alleged by the plaintiff, the conductor let the brake go. It swung round with great velocity, and struck Thomas in the Jaw, laying open his cheek, and KNOCKING HIM OFF THE CAS. The car passed over bis hand and severed three Angers.

The plaintiff, his brother MichaoL James Harri ganaud Michael Sheridan, constituting tho skating party, testified to the aota as stated. It was also proved by Patrick Carroll, a nurse, that the boy Euuls, when admitted to the hospital, bod a out in biB left check. It was further sworn that the handle of tho brake was four feet two incheB from the step, and that it was two inchoB inside of a perpendicular line from the outside edge of the step. Tbe defonee moved to dismiss on the ground that the boy was traveling on a Sunday, but the motion was denied, tho Court holding that the law did not apply whero a company was guilty of negligence. The plaintiff examined the Superintendent of the road to prove that people were accustomed to ride on the front platform, and that it waa customary for tha Company'a servants to collect fares from such passengers, THE SAME AS THOUGH THEY BODE INSIDE.

In the defense several witnesses were called. J. Frederick Heggo got on the car at Sands and Jay streets, and saw a numbor of boys on the front platform, but couldn't say he saw Ennis. A lady to whom witness was afterward married got on the car with him and procured a seat inside. Witness stood outside.

He waa cross exsmlned to show that, as he waa courting the orfrl ttt the time, it there had been another seat inside he would have availed himself of it to sit beside his bo trothed. Mrs. Hegge, tne laay tn question, was otso examined for the defense. Robert Basquin, a passenger, swore there were seats inBide. George Butts saw boys on the front platform, but could not say he saw Ennis riding on it.

Throe or four persons were on the rear platform. Henry Peck saw passengers on the rear and front platforms. He saw a boy at Jay and Sands streets standing on the front step and talking. Tho boy FELL BACKWARD ON A PILE OF SNOW. Charles H.

Boldt, the conductor, swore that Ennis waa not simply getting on the front platform, but riding cm it. Three or four persons were in the rear, and the car was not full. He did not think that ho had ever seen a car full, and oould not say when a car waa fulL He did not know a rule in this' oountry as to the number of persons who should ride on a car. He always collected fares from persons on the front platform tho same aa from the other passengers. He was obliged to do so.

John. Conklin, the driver, swore that the brake did not hit the boy. He held it in his hand all the time he waa slacking it off. He always did so. The boy Ennis was FOOLTNO WITH THE OTHER BOYS.

Judge McCue instructed the Jury aa to the law la the case, and they gave the plaintiff $2,000 damages. Appeal waa bad to the General Term, and argument was heard thereon, as already stated, yesterday afternoon. Counsel for the appellant argued that the boy could be excused for occupying the front platform only on the ground that the other parts of the car were inaccessible, and that the driver having no reason to suspect the boy's approach, the real negligence waa an the part of the latter. Several parts of the Judge's charge were also objected to. Counsel for the respondent urged that in this case, if the driver had attended property to the brake, instead of letting it swing, the injury would have been avoided.

The fact of the Company's allowing passengers to ride on the front platform was the same aa saying to them that it was A SAFE AND PROPER PLACE. The boy's getting on the front platform was not negligence, for he was on his way to the inside. In the case of Clark vs. The Eighth Avenue Railroad Company, 36 N. p.

186, Justice Grover said that tha car being full, and the conductor's having oollected the fare from the plaintiff while standing on the Btep, authorized the jury to find that he was invited to ride on that place, as Bate and suitable, and that negligence could not be attributed to him for riding there. The evidence showed that while the plaintiff was thus riding, in the act of getting en the platform, he was struck by the brake. In the case of Mulhado vs. the Brooklyn City Boilroad 80 N. 370, plaintiff waa injured in attempting to get off the front platform.

The Court held that aa NO NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO THE PASSENGERS not to'get off the front platform, and as it appeared the plaintiff got on the car at the front platform he might well auppose that it was an unobjectionable place to quit the car by. In Burns vs. Belleport Railroad, 50, Mo 130, it was held tbat whether the front platform was'a more dangerous place than the inside was not a question of law, but of fact for the jury. If the plaintiff was on the front platform without any objection by the defendant, he was there by the defendant's Counsel contended further, that in this case there was no proof that any printed regulation pitrstiant to chapter 14, Section 46, of the lawB of 1850, prohibiting riding on the front platform, waa posted In the car. When such a notice was put up and there waa room inside the Company was not liable; but here there was no opportunity for the boy to get a seat, as he was knocked off in the act of getting on.

Decision reserved. For the appellant, E. M. Guilen, and Winchester Brit ton of CounBel for the defendant, Thomaa E. Pear sail! of Morris 4 Pearsall.

MUNICIPAL. Mayor Hunter moves Against the ReportersNone of Them to be Admitted Unannounced Into His August Presence. Mayor Hunter has given orders that the representatives of the press are not to be admitted into his presence without being previously announced. If his Honor feels like seeing them, they will be admitted if not, not. The cause assigned for the promulgation of this edict, is that his Honor is being constantly misrepresented by one of the local papers (Dr.

Barnes' journal), and especially in regard to the appointment of of the newDlrectors of the Bridge Company. This morning his Honor condescended to admit a representative of the Eagle to his royal presence, and to explain why he had issued such orders. He called attention to an article in Dr. Barnes' paper of last evening, setting forth that there was a misunderstanding between Controller Schroeder and himself, in regard to tbe appointment of the Bridge Directors, and that this was the cause of the delay in the appointments. His Honor indignantly denied it, and when questioned as to what the difficulty was, replied "The trouble ia that aU of the old Directors want to be reappointed, but I mean to see that not one of them is reappointed." Hit Honor said that he was tired of this constant misrepresentation, and that If there waa anything to be published oonoerning his office he wanted to see It before it went into the paper.

He Intimated that the Eagle had generally reported the affairs of the office correctly, but did not explain why the orders he had issued applied to the representatives of this Journal. He then had the temerity to ask the Eaole to publish some figures which he thought were damaging to bis old antagonist, President 8 trie a han, of the Park Commission, offering at the same time to have a condensation of them made for publication. The action of the Mayor In regard to the representatives of tbe press caused some talk among the officials at the Hall, tad it was the general impression (hat his Honor had been pretty well taken care of by the newspapers. It is a fact that the Mayor has repeatedly been under obligations to the reporters, especially to those connected with this journal. How much Judicious pruning of little speeches, how many expurgations of naughty remarks concerning his monomania Stranahan.

and bow many corrections of misrepresentations in other papers have bean public have little or do idea but Mayor Hunter docs know, and it Is for that reason that hia orders of to day savor both of insult and ingratitaio..
