Excellent Prcachlnir Beauti ful SerTiceTntereitinsr In stallatioii, etc. i ' i- j St. Paul's Lutheran Church was a place of special interest on last Sunday and crowds flocked into the beautiful edifice. The altar was beautifully dec orated with green leaves and choice and rare flowers, among which the beauti ful calla lily was Suspended;-prominent over, tho altar was the sentence -irijargcv gilt lettersr'God - Bless our Pastor," and on either side of the pulpit alcove was tho sentence, "Our Cares, Our Joy and Our Aims are one." - . 1 1 t The congregation should, as we know they do, consider themselves peculiarly fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Peschau. He is gifted as a linguist and possesses those talents and 'qualifica tions which at once pla?e him in a high sphere of usefulness. At II A. M., Rev. F. Wi Conrad, D. D., of Philadelphia, and editor of the Imthcran Observer, occupied the pulpit and preached a most excellent discourse in 1 Cor. 23, "But! we prpach Christ Crucified." The learned divine, who has occupied and adorned sonie of the best pulpits of the Lutheran church in this country, numbering1 from 500 to 1,000 members, during the past forty years of his life, has lost but little power physically and certainly none mentally. Preaching without manuscript or note and doing it so well as not only to draw and gain the attention of his hearers, but drawing them hearer to himself and nearer to his subject, he developed some of the grand truths hidden in the text and although he spoke for fifty minutes, none were tired of hearing him . It was a masterly discourse, full of good truths, powerful and convincing ar guments, pointed sUd striking il lustrations and calculated to jdo the heart and mind good. There was no gusli or attempt at sensationalism. Onejof the grandest things we ever heard was the development of one of his points, to-wit : Christ the only true solution of the problem of man's salva tion in the moral universe. No one can hear the Doctor yithout being con vinced that he is a great man; and that the Lutheran church iinay be! proud of such a divine. Kev. Ifrof. L. A. Bikle, of Mt. Pleasant, who needs no intro duction to this community, conducted the altar services. Although the church was full in the morning, the evening service (during, which the installation of Rev. F. W. E. Peschau, as pastor, took place, saW the church crowded from end to end. Dr. Bikle, representing the North Carolina Synod of the Lutheran Church, was the first speaker, and ad dressed himself to the pastor electjdeliv eringto him an appropriate and jexcel lent charge and advice. Dr. Bikle was peculiarly happy and felicitous in his re marks. He at once attracted, and chain ed the" attention" of 'his audience. He has a fine voice, and speaks with an eloquence but seldom found in the pul pit. ' After the singing of a hymn, Dr. Conrad charged the people, and Jic did it successfully too. His hits at the church members who see only others' imperfections, and have no deficiencies themselves,, wore well put. It would be hard to. add to, jor take from, the charge any thing without spoiling. Such truths, and put in such a way as the el oquent speaker put them!; can but do good. They should be repeated in a hundred installations, and enunciated and emphasized on other occasions. Having finished, he closed the Bible and asked the kind indulgence of the audience for a few moments and, to their astonishment, gave a synopsis of his address in German. Drt Bikle, turning to the congrega tion, asked the council if Rev. F. W.E, Peschau had been properly elected, and had accepted the call extended to him ; whereupon Mr. II. B. President of the Council Eilers, Vice if we are not mistaken, gave to Dr. Bikle a copy of the call signed by tile Council, and fur ther certified, orally, of the choice of the congregation in I the selection of the Reverend gentleman. j Rev. Mr. Peschau, seated in front of the altari facing the pulpit, I arose and walked to the altar, ! and the j members of the Council, two in number, arose and stood with him. Dr. Bikle, hand ing him the call, properly signed, ex horted him to fidelity, questioned him, declared him duly installed and offered prayer, at tqa conclusion of which tho Council took its seat, and the choir sung touchingly "Greetings to a Pastors Kneeling at the altar, Rev. Mr. Peschau offered up the prayer prescribed in the WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY. MAY 23J :188& liturgy, arose to his feet, conducted the liturgical service and closed with' a "abort address in German and in. English, of which we give the following- synop- The public ratification of my choice as Pastor of this church j has : a double meaning. To install, to induct, means to lead into. , I am not simply bound to the communicant members of thii church, bnt according to the usages ipf the Lutheran Church which believes in a settled ministry I become a mem ber of -your community.

Our interests are as closely interwoven as our fingers are when we fold our hands. Every tap of the fireman's bell shall arouse my sympathies, every conflagration cause me sorrow, every dire calamity make me suffer with you. I shall pray at the bedside of your sick, and weep with you o'er your dead ones, at the open grave. Every storm-cloud will b e black to me as well as to you. But our joys are one. . The same sun, shines on us, the same blessings make us rejoice and "our aims are one." We long, we strive-for. Heaven. As you have been inducted, led into the church bv baptism and confirmation, and as I have been led into it here by these ser vices, and as the church is the door into Heaven, may God grant that it may open to our approach to the better land; jind may it lead us into the joys, happi-; ness and bliss of eternal life and eternal rest, to God's honor and glory and our salvation: and then your prayer "God bless our Pastor," wilf be answered and our work be not in vain. Long Will be remembered by the Lutherans of Wilmington, the interest ing services of last Sunday. All was auspicious,. the .weather was, fine, the attendance excellent and the interest general.

Pleasant Hours, There was a pic-nic at Bordeaux's Mill, in Pender county, on the 10th inst., at which the beauty and gallantry of Pender and the adjoining counties were assembled. ! The tables were load ed with an abundance of dainties and luxuries for hungry mortals. Sweet music furnished the measure for the merry dance; and the day was spent in merriment, innocent recreation , and amusement, with nothing to mar the hilarity of the occasion. We regret that we were unable to be present, and also regret that our space will not permit us to give in full the report of the day's pleasures kindly furnished by a corres pondent who was present, and' who it seems, luxuriated m a goou uiue geu erally. !

JA new enterprise new for this local ityhas been started here by two of our lady residents, one-'residing on Third street and the other on Front street. These ladies sent off North" this" " Spring and bought 10,000 silk-worm eggs. They have had two rooms of the upper story in each house fitted up for the pur pose and have gone regularly into the business of raising silk worms. These worms require the entire time and at tention of one man. , He goes out each day and gathers a bushel of mul berry leaves which the worms consume, they being fed every two hours. When the eggs arrived here, the weather was quite warm and the eggs were put on ice to prevent them hatching too soon. The worms are all out how, and some of them are so far advanced that it is expected they will begin spinning this week. The Ladies' Industrial Society of New York will buy all of the cocoons these ladies can offer for sale. A third lady, also a resident of Wil mington, proposes to go even more ex tensively into ' the business, and with this object in view has had planted a large number of mulberry trees at her summer residence at the Sound.
