PRAISING THE PILGRIMS, Speeches by Distinguished Men in Honor of Forefatherw’ Day. All Souls’ church was well filled Iast night with New Englanders, proud, pllgrim-loving and Patriotic, who were assembled to celebrate “Fore- fathers’ day.” Ex-Commisstoner Loring presidec, and he and ex-Governor Boutwell, ex-Governor Long, Senator Sherman and Lieut. Greely deliv- ered sultabie addresses. The chancel was deco- rated with flags and an old forefather's chair was Placed for the President. A large number of ladies were present. It was remarked by Gov. Bout- well that the 21st, and not the 224 of December, was the proper date of forefathers’ day. Lieut. Greely thought that the 22d must be right, be- cause that was the day on which he saw the Orst sign of the returning sunlight after months of darkness in the Arctic regions. Dr. Loring was the first speaker, and he eulo- ved the pligrims so that thove wito followed him ad to moxlify thelr praise, though they all ac- knowledged titat they were’ the greatest set of People on earth, He said that they were the only colonists who “accomplished exactly what the} started out todo. All the other colonies fail It was, he sald, near three-quarters of a century before’ the other colonies accomplished What was done by the Pilgrims in one day, before leit the Mayflower—the allotinent of perfect MUberty and equality. ‘The foundation of the re- public he maintalnéd, was, Td by the Pligrims; the frst deciaration’ of the equality of all men Wasmade by them. Hespoke of their sufferings, their many persecutions in Europe, and their hard- ships from hunger and coid around Plymouth. It was the oft-repeated story which always thrills the hearts of citizens of Massachusetts. He denied Uhat the Pilgrims were a gloomy lot. He argued that ine spirit of Uberty that got abroad auiong the other colonies, and finally formed this great free republic, first came trom the Pligrims. Ex-Secretary Boutwell, who was introduced as one of the best successors to John Carver, took Sssue Co Sune extent with Dr. Loring, both’ as to his (Boutwell’s) merits as a_ successor to Jonn Carver, aud as to the amount of credit due the Pil- grims.” His ancestors, he said, to start with, did not come over with the MayHower in 1620, but later—about 1632—and he was disposed to beileve, giving all due credit to the Pilgrims of 1620, that they never could have ouillved all thelr triais and established a permanent colony had 1t not been for the Puritans, who came over with more wealth and ‘education along about 1630-'35. Senator Sherman, who had a right to be present, Decause his ancestors Were from Connecticut, and Decause, as Dr. Lorlag sald, he Was a fair repre- senlalive of the Pilgrims of the West, took Issue with thei all around, and, While agreeing that the Pilgrims were ute toremost co.onists, con- tended that it took ail the varlous sorts ‘repre sented In all the colontes to work out the Ideas of Uberty and Independence that underlle our gov- ernment. 10 took, he sald, the Huguenots, the the Datcil, of New York; ihe Catholics, iaud, and Une cavallers (ahd after loafers), of Virginia, to make us the nation we are. he then mentioned some of the great names in the other colonies whe were to the fore in the declara- on of Independence and the drafting of the Con- stitution, Whicn seemed almost a divine work, 80 perivet Was 1. iov. Long said he had been persecuting the saints for five years, and suggested that it he suc- ceeded in awaking Uuem tuey would ring a chine 1 chestnut bells. But then there was nouning chesthutty in Wiat he had to say. He bought the assembly back to the idea that it was nolL inul- vidual gredtuess that they were contempiating. Avis not, he said, the bush, but the germ; hot Uc event, But the idea; not tue man, put the spirit. New ‘York, | Georgia or the Carolinas, 1 was tie same spirit of iudependence and liberty of conscience that vontri- buted vo bulid up Us repubile, ana Wie higuest praise for the Pligrims Was hat Lie rest fouowed.

White-Aproned Men on a Bush to Supply the Demand. SCENES IN A CANDY FACTORY—HOW THE CONFECTIONS ARE PREPARED-—STICKS OF CANDY AND CANDY CANES, Everywhere the candy manufacturers are work- ing night and day to supply the enormous demand made upon them during Christmas week. Their forces are often doubled or tripled, and every one works with might and main to make sweets to fill the bottoms of many a long stocking hung up by the chimney or mantel-piece on Christmas eve. The finer candies are neglected almost entirely, and every energy 1s bent towards making the sim- ple articles which are popular with all. It 1s very interesting to walk through a candy factory and watch the different processes which the sugar undergoes trom the time it enters the copper boiling kettle in its primitive state until it comes forth in the shape of delicate cream squares or other equally delicious forms. THE WORK ROOM. Here 1s a long square room; down its middle are stationed long tables or slabs. In one corner 18 a small stove with round open top. Everywhere are the round copper kettles used for boiling the candy, and in every available space are barrels and erates of shelled nuts, raisins, starch, glucose and other raw matertals. ‘Over all is smeared the sticky remains of some former “trying.” The floors are thick with the sticky stuff andthe air is redolent with its perfume. Men in white rat- ment and caps rush back and ‘forth, thelr hands loaded with sweet burdens. Others Stand at long. side-tables and knead the still hot eandy prepara- tory to making It into sticks, while others again cut tive cold slabs of chocolate creams or caramels into squares. Everything goes with arush, and euch man Works with a will. Silence is goiden. At one side stands a man glazing French chestauts With sugar. ‘The chestnuts, of course, are shelled and dipped intoa kettle of liquid sugar and stirred until they have acquired the necessary thickness of coating; then tey are withdrawn and laid out in square pans in a cool place to harden, CANDY .CANES.
