Notwithstanding ths attrsotions of football and turkey, not to mention other alluremonts of the day, the thanksgiving services at the Various churches in this city were well attended. Fortunately for all concerned, most of the special thanksgiving services were hold in the morning, so that tlioy did not necessarily conflict with the game and the bird.
On the first Thanksgiving day that was years and years ago there waB no footba.l game and the church sorvicos were the special events of the day. Yesterday they were bnt incidental.

The union lair, of the Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, which has been in prores at, its buildings on Dean and Bergen streets since Tuesday last, has proved a pro non need mooes. Yesterday being Tbnukugiv-Ing, the children looked forward to something extra in their dully bill of fare, aud young as they all were, they evidently had a firm belief in the Scriptural quotation, The Lord will pro vide.
At nny rate, It was a happy throng of faibor les and motherless little colored ohiidrefl which sat down at I oclock yesterday to a dinner, iu which turkey playod a prominent part. This bouutiful entertainment was the gift of the ladies of tho Seidl Society, and for proof that their kindheartedness was not nfiepiHOed, one bad but to look at the manner in which all the good thing wore attacked. When the appetites of ibis small army had all bot'n appeased, all thut mummed ot tbe feast reminded one of the poem, Tho Wreck of the Hesperus. Of the fair too inucfi caunot be said.

They were out in force from early in the morning until night set in looking for iroe prizes and other things. The costumes some of them wore were of the most unique design, nod caused laughter everywhere. Especially was this true in tbe Fourteenth Ward, where there were any number of parader in all kinds of wearing apparel.
Of the days festivities in other quarters the Thanksgiving dinner given to the children of the In lustriul Home in South Third street and tbe institution branches in Bcholes street and in Humboldt vtreet was probably the most important. The ladies in charge of the mam home arranged an excellent musical programme for their little inmates. Before turkwj and sauce were served the children for more than an hour enjoyed the singing aud reciting. Abuut 220 children sat down to dinner and heartily relished it, while the other 100 children in the two branch homes also hud a great feast. Mis H.

LITTLE ORPHAN HEARTS MADE MERRY FOR A DAK Turkey and Toys for Them A 4t Cltl-xen Iteportera Tour of the Institutions Howard Orphan Asylum Fair Eutertuluuient at Hebrew Asylum.
There were many boyft and girls tn this city yesterday who, sad to say, not only did not have a diuuer of turkey and other good things, but did noUiuvondiuuer at all worthy tboname. Home of tbe silver lining to the oloud of poverty, however, was found by ft Citizen reporter in tho orphan asylums dotted nil ovor thi city. Tho first one visited wis that ot the Churcb, Charity Foundation at Albany oveuuo nud Herkimer street. Thu sound of tbe dinner boll was just ringing through the building as tlio reporter culled, and ho hud an opportunity to sue tne fifty boys ami girl trooping tbioitgh the bill to tho dining room. Min Hinsdale, Suitor Superior Julia assistant, wus seen, nnd, ou learning hi missiou, at one brought biui to tho feasting chamber whor* the children were, tid A dutiful aud thankful preliminary, singing tbe Doxulogy.
The voice, strong and nwoet, of these motherless pud futherlos little one rose to heaven, and surely pleased their own Father as much as any thank that were given him throughout this Thanksgiving country. A blessing wa asked on the meal by Sister Elizabeth. The dinner excellent aud there was plenty of it. There was no turkey, but there was delicious fricasseed chicken with dumpling and cr.nberry sauce, mashed potatoes aud fruit tor deHsor The next call made was on fit. Johns Catholic Asylum, a few blocks further on, at tbe corner or st.
Mark a avenue. From tho gate at tbo oud of the carriage drive the sound of tho boys voices could be heard like the twittering of thousands of birds. The Mother Superior, Sister Chnntol, was seen aud made the reporter very welomn. fibe is a charming woman. Kiudues and motherly sympathy beam from every feature of her face, mid it i easy to understand that it is principally through kindness that the army of boys, uum-bonng 1.026, uru governed.
As she passed through the rooms and corridors faces bnght-eued and little fingers wero entwined in hers. A love pat on one boys head, a kindly word to another, An encouraging smile in every direction revealed tbo secret of the perfect control maintained by tho fourteen sisters. The boys, who rauge in age from 3 to 14. rise at 5:30, blit on this day of enjoyment and liberty all. with tho ex.eptiou of the very youngest, were up and dressed before the bell rung.
They bave boon lookiug forward to Thanksgiving for moro than a month and did not want to lose a miuuto of the duv. Service w.i conducted bv Father Vitta, the resident chaplain, nt 6:30 in the chapel. Attor its close sixty id the boys drossed iu all the oild guiments that the Sisters could provide them with- old dresses, amateur theatrical costumes, which the boy use for plays, and election parade uniforms and marched to St. Marys Hospital, six blocks away, where they brought many a smile to the faces of the patients. After their return, in an hour, breakfast was served to the army bread, butter and coffee.
Tue next fow hours, until dinner at noon, wero devoted to piny, when tho ragamuffin costumes were ugaiu brought into use and bugles were blown until the sisters were nearly deafened. Dinner consisted of turkoy, chicken, cranberry sauce, implied and sweet potatoes, celery, bread umi apples. The boys consumed 1.0U0 pounds of turkey, throo barrels of apples, three barrels of potatoes and HN) loavos of bread. Aftr dinner play was again indulged in until 6 oclock, when a supper of cakes, sweet and tea was served. The children retired at 8 ocloik.
The Brooklyn Orphan Society building, nt Atlantic nnd Kingston avenueB, was next visited. Mrs. Hit, the matron, said that tbe 309 children, of which 206 ure boys, wero having a glorious time. They had been given the run of the hull and rooms nnd wero allowed to dress themselves as lantastically as they pleased, aud blow tin bugles as loud as their lungs woald allow. They rose at 5:45 nnd hud btuakfast nt 7, niter which they bad the privilege, on account of the periect weather, of playing out of doors.
Dinner w.ib served at 1 oclock. Tbe menu wu roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes and orange. Three hundred and ten pounds of turkey wero used. A barrel of cranberries was donated by Mrs. Georgo fiiudwell.
and the oranges were given by Mr. Bunhart. Mis Bayles donated a barrel of apples. It was used at supper, which was served nt 5 o'clock. At 7:30 a thoroughly tired lot of children were glad to get to bed.
At St. Joseph Home thore wore 600 girls to eat Thanksgiving dinner. They range in age from 4 to 15. fiister Lncilla is very proud of them ail, and conducted the reporter through the building. The children had just finished a play of several hourB and were distributed through tbe classrooms in classes of about sixty each in charge of teachers.
In all that great crowd there wa not a particle of noise, and yet when each door was ooened suddenly the children were thoroughly enjoying themselves reading story book aud making dolls' clothes.

You could not see a healthier, cleaner, better cared for undbappier lot of children anywhere in the world than these orphans in fit. Josephs Home.
Thu work, or rather eujoynumt of the day, was opened with service in the beautiful chapel by Father Hurtnitt, of fiL John College. Breakfast oame next, after which tbe older girl, as is customary, washed the dishes, made tbe beds and tidied up, the smaller children playiug Outside in thu play-ground. Dinner was served at 12 turkey, sauce, celery, plain and sweet potatoes and fruit. For tea they had ns a specialty, preserves and co*kos. A regular carnival w.i held at St.
Dominicks, on Grahim avenue, corner of Montrose street. There was more stir in this home than auy-where else, because the sisters, of whom there are seventy, also conduct the parish school, with iU 1.260 scholars, and consequently the observance of tbe day wus a local itter. Tne orphans 225 boys and 825 girls attended mass at o'clock at tbe Church of the Holy Trinity, and at 2 oclock, after dinner, the Orphan Guard, with its band of eiguteen pieces, paraded through the neighboring streets, tue boys wearing tbeir new gruy overcoats for the first time. The uiuner was good one and thoroughly characteristic of the day, end lunch of frankfurters rye bread and tea was served at 5. fib Malachis Home, In East New York, at Atlantic and Van tiickien avenues, rested under a cloud of gloom, owing to the recent death of tbe mother superior.
There are in tbg home 144 boys and girls, nearly all very young. Boys are granted admittance only when they bake a sister in the school, or when brothers and sisters can enter together. This rule is designed to keep little families together, and is a very benu-tilul leatnre of the, work. The sisters aro greatly interested in the orphans, and are greatly beloved. Little tbrue-year-old May Gallagher nnd equally young Johnny i Culkn were called in to the reception room and went through a minuet very nicely, ready to the reporters amusem*nt.
A good dinner had to be given tbe chddron, with cider as a treat, and cake was given them at supper. Tbe house fairly belonged to tbe youngsters and they were allowed to be as ragamuttinly as they plowed. The home is conducted by the bisters of fib Joseph. From nero the reporter went to tho New Hebrew Orphan Asylum at Ralph avenuesud Bergen Htro The building is one of mtgnili ceut proportions and appearance apd contains every modern convenience. Up to the presout time only ninety-nine boy aud seventy-three girl have been ken in.
The boys were dressed Yesterday in their uniforms of navy blue with brass buitous an i the gins in sailor dresses. Tbe orders of thu day were given, as is nsnnl. by bugle call, the discipline aud training throughout being of a military character. There is an excellent drnm and fife corps, which paraded from 8 to 4:30 oclock in thu yard, i bis wua by readings, recitations and siug ing in the parlors, many of tbe relatives of the boys being present.

On land and sea casualty has wou its triumph. Devastating fires have swept our citie East and West, costing manv lives and destroying million of property. Fierce storms have swept across the sea and surged shoreward to destroy. Thousand have been suddenly summoned to part with their life by what tbe Toroneri auest used to call the visitation of Gdd. It many a year since financial disasters were eo numerous and calamitous.
The panic of 185(3 will not soon be forgotten. Most of those here present have participated in its losses; few anywhere but have had a share in its anxieties. A wide outlook upon tbs year leaves the mind in balftsoe between conflicting emotions. Bhali we sing or sigh, rejoice or weep If we rejoice it ia not without regret. Only one assurance can minister thankfulness under such circ*mstances.
It is suggested by tbe text We all know the functions of tbe umpire. Our commerce nd our sports Alike make us familiar with his office. It i just that figure which the apostle seize upon to suggest the source of a thanksgiving that grows from more to more. When the peace of Christ, tho peace He had, the peace He brings abides in the heart it arbitrates between our conflicting thoughts and feelings, and, in spite of adversity, we become thankfuL Wno so know God for Father is sura that righteousness must triumph, and that love, whatever may be the suffering involved iu its issue wiifi sin, will st-curo redemption. Chastening that eeems greviou in itself, is seen to be joyous when the peace of Christ casts tho deciding vote.
Let then this peace arbitrate the case if you would become thankful amid toe conflicting And contradicting circ*mstances of this perplexing tinio. The preacher was closely followed, and the large audience dispersed, feeling thaukfui that they had ths pleasure of listening to such a timely And appropriate discourse. Dr. Ljuihd Abbott at Plymouth. Plymouth Church jrua prettily decorated, and the special musical service attracted a large audience.
The mnsio was all that could be desired. Dr. Lyman Abbott preached on American life. Among other tbiugs he seid: It has been said that Americans lived too fast. Better to live too fast than too slow, for eagerness and vitality show a higher state of civilization.
a discontent with the past, and a grasping for something greater and better the tutnre. There -was constant reliance on the Judgment If a person is going to be taken care of let him live iu England, but if be is going to take care of himself let him live in America. To throw a boy on his own resources was to make a man of him. It demanded the exercise of the power of munhood. He spoke of the educational facilities of the country by saying there was no land where there is so much eagerness for education as in the United States.
It was a cne of choosing between a country where they have education and uont want it, and a people who demaud eduoutibn and caouot get as much au they wunt. There was a power in the priesthood and a power in certain superstitious, but greater than these was the power of love in a mother's breast for tbe children, thut would never permit the closing of the schools. In the United State every man bad a responsibility, each for his own life and nil for tbe Die of the natiou. The party oat of power is a radical party. Restored to tower, it becomes conservative and careful.
There was no anarchism in the United States. It was in Spam whure a bomb i sent to the Prime Minister and where the people are oppressed, not in a country where freedom of speech and action is enjoyed. There van a good deal of evil in the tree press, but at the same timo much to be commended. When the newpapers pried into a man home or into hie private character they were exceeding their right But when a man tried to show four votes for each man in Gravesend, when one man tried to pat the town of Buffalo in his pocket, and when the New Jersey racing ring overstepped all law, the newspapers made the people aware, not always accurately as to details, that the liberties of American citizens were in peril. The Rev.
Dr. Storrs Sermon. At the Church of the Pilgrims, on Rsmsen street, Dr. Btorrs preached a Thanksgiving ser- tnou. Ha referred to the dangers to which Re- publics wore subjected, yet concluded that we Lad the best country in the world.
No doubt there were certain perils surround- ing popular government. Cue of these perils was thu ignorance of a lower body of the voting i population. Many voters cannot read, and tuey have to take on trust what is told them by others. They are unable to make up their own ballots. Yet the power of thi class is tremendous at elections.
Another danger was the use political leaders made of this class. There wa a class of men who made politics a trade, just a if it were a thing of commerce. They care nothing about 1 tho public welfare, but are looking all the time to their own gam. They wear diamonds, drive fast horses and live in fine houses. Politics is their profession and their trade.
They get hold of a class of men by promises to do something and by, perhaps, bribery. This was a peril that 1 impressed itself on the minds of thinking men. It was dangerous to hide this peril from their eyes. Gamblers and liquor dealers And dispena- 1 ers of vote literatnre understand the value of combiuation, aud they are thus able to pay for the protection wiiicu they desire. This is a glaring peril.
It was dangerous that such combinations should be allowed to go on. The First Presbyterian Church.

JIB, TAMIAGE AT THE TADftNACLE. The most extensive decorations were in the big' audience room of the Tabernacle. There Was it special music service there, and the house was foiled. Dr. Tannage took for bis text Geneais 9: Bthold.I have dreamed a dream more and, behold, tbo sun and the moon, and the eleven sure made obeisance to met He said in part The United Stales Government is the most popular Government in all tbe earth.
When foreign nations change their form of government they make it as much like ours as circ*mstances will allow. The American flap is sainted with more enthusiasm in the port of tbe world than the flag of any other foreign nation. There ii ft leauingot the whole human race toward republican form of government. Our grandchildren will yet see ou the map of tbe world ths Republic of England, tbe Republio of Bpain, tbs Republic of Germany, tbe Republic of Italy. OUr nation is tbe leader in ths direction of free government, and the 'q and moon and eleven stars of governmental power all over tbe earth wid yet make obeisance.
I have an idea that tbe moat favored constellation in all the heavens is the one of which our earth is a planet, and that tbe United States are the best part of tbe Amorican Continent, and tbatthe State of New York is the most desirable of all the States or tbo Union, and that the best part of the State is a city ou the east side of New York Ray and commonly eailed Brooklyn (laughter) and that the best part of the city is at the corner of Clinton and Green avenues. Ara your nerves weak Go North. Is your throat delicate? Go South. Do you feel crowded and want more room Go West. Are you tempted to become an office-seeker Go to Jail Peace all over this continent and nothing to light about.
Side by aide all you who wore the blue and the gray, and you who kinuled gres on the opposite side of the Potomao in the winter of 1863, you who followed Stonewall Jackson toward the North, you who followed General fllierroan toward the South, why are you not breaking each other heads Ah, you have irreparably mixed up your politics the Northern man by marrying a Southern wife, and the Southern man by marrying a Northern wife, and yonr children are half Misstssippian and half Yankee, and to make another division between the North and tbe South, possibly you would have to do with your child as Solomon proposed with the child brought before him divide it with the sword; give half to the North and half to the South. No! no! The hardest thing in the woald to split is a cradle. Intur-marriage will go on and consangumal ties will be multiplied, and the generations to come will wonder that we of this generation conld have got into snoh an awful wrangle and dug such a terrific grave-trench. Now, my friends, let us wake up to congratulation and gratitude. The men and the women of this church, the best band of workers that ever blessed a pastor, have, by almost a week of continuous toil and by the exorcise of superb taste, put before your eyes this poem, written all over the house in golden letter of wheat and rice and white letters of cotton and red letters of fruit, their praise to God.
Praise the Lord, young men and maidens, old men and childreo; 1 let everything that hath breath praiss the Lord. There was an entertainment at the Tabernacle in the evening, at which Miss LMatia Holmes, the accomplished young entertainer of New Brunswick, N. made her first appearance in Brooklyn.

Thanksgiving day services at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, corner of Bt James place and Lafayette avenue, were unusually attractive in character. The pastor, Rev. John Humpstone, cordially invited the Washington Avenue Baptist Church Society, and when the hour came for the servioes to open, a large congregation bad assembled. The mnsical programme was very fine and largely enjoyed. The solos of Miss Sweeney and Miss Huboel were beautifully rendered Tbe pastor preached a sermon marked with scholarly ability.
He chose for bis text Col 15, Let the peace of God rule iu your hearts and be ye thankful. Summer is gone and autumn, too, said the preacher. The year is slowly dying. The vital forces of nature are runningdown. Winter le at hand.
Why is the Thanksgiving festival et at this season Should not the day fail in that time when the sun smilee out of serene skies Upon fields that gleam with gold of grain, when tbe moon by night is lucent with the radiance of her harvest phase Bet wise were they who eel this frUral. net thrill tbe nation's heart from nea to tea, Just when the year darkened wuti the fall 01 leal on lawn aud sea. The true features of life and the real nature of thanksgiving are better symbolized now than then. In an unusual degree it is a year of mingled triumph and trial upon which we look back. The fit token of it prosperous side is that White City, beautiful ns dreaui, through tbe streets of which so mnuy million of our people have wandered in wonder.
Those glorious structures and ths diversified exhibits they sheltered were measures not only of present prosperity and power, but proof also of that progress which characterizes ths history both of our nution and our They told the story of wbat we have become and of the struggle which iB the price of achievements. Who could face that spectacle nnd not fall into reverie Multitudes sailed again the stormy sea with Columbus shared the trials of the wilderness with our pioneers fought again with our fathers ths war for liberty oud that lor union. Bo the dream city became the city of vision; its mu ic ths song of hope; its achievements the pledge of new conquests its witness to Gods baud in our history ths pledge of our manifest destiny as a people. And now event more recent have certified such bopee as these. Bo long as righteousness can effectively combine against iniquity While party, is so much Idas to men.
then public weal; when publio opinion oan eo effectively express its protest egiuuat official wrongdoing, and the people assert their own supremacy, it will be sure that wbat our forefathers founded their sons will perpetuate, Theso tokens of moral and national health are associated with blessings which call for gratitude. Harvests, not so abundant as have been garnered sometimes, but such as bid defiance to famine have boen reaped from our fields. Pestilence hoe not darkened tbe year with its shadows; nor has war been within the range of visible dangers. Ths emphasis of tbe year has been put rather upon brotherhood, comity and peace. International arbitration gains one more victory and is brought one step nearer complete adoption by the Rearing Boa deoirion.
Religious bitterness and bigotry got another end a stalwart blow through the successful teuton of ths parliament of religions. In tbs bouse private and personal merries have been not less numerous than heretofore. Rut if tbs rear bis brought no msroies it has brought us all varied trials nod abundant disasters. It is long sines death reaped so rich a harvest among ns. In the rralm of Ktatesmantthip Blaine and (laves and Stanford, with Justices Lamar and Blatchford, have gone.
