Encourage Home Enterprise


1t is the duty of every citizen to
encourage home enterprise. Some
people have an idea that the bust
ness men Of Alpena charge two
prices for goods, but when they 60
to Detroit with the intention of
making heavy purchases, they in
variably return fully satisfied that
by buying their goods at home they
will save the freight on them from
Detroit to this place, as our dealers
sell at Detroit prices.
So it is with those who wish to
purchase watches, jewelry, etc.
They can get just as good, land
very often better goods,) at the well
filed store of Fred..S Goodrich, as
can be obtained in Detroit, and
that too, at the same price. And
there is one advantage to be deriv-
ed by buying of Fred, which is, he
will always warrant any article to
be just as he represents it, or he
will refund double the price paid
for it.
Fred has just received very
large and elegant stock of clocks,
watches, gold and silver wares, ETC.,
and is fully prepared to meet the
wants of the public generally.
Again we say, if you wish our
city to prosper, encourage home
enterprise.

The citizens OF Alpena will be inter
ested in the fact that the Singer Sewing
Machine rs now kept for sale in town,
and can be furnished IN all styles and
prices, by ID. p. Lester at the store Of ID.
Lester & Co. The well known high rep
utation Of this machine renders all com.
ment ana praise unnecessary. People
who have not the means to purchase for
cash can get any reasonable time, and all
can, and should have one of these useful
as well as beautiful Singers.

in the house at the time of the fire,
having gone there for the purpose
Of painting and making other i'm
provements. EVERYTHING in the up

TIE SOUTHERN MARYLAND RAlLRoAD.-The
Southern Maryland Railroad Company, of
which Colonel S. S. Smoot is the president,
aud the Washington City and Point Look
out Railroad Company (Mr. S. T. Suit presi-
dent, have recently entered into an arrange
ment by which the construction of one road
from this city to Point Lookout is supposed
to be assured. The agreement is that Colo
mel Suit will abandon all operations below
Brandywine (the point ut which the Pope's
Creek line of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad is crossedG and will not construct a
road Or aid in the construction of n road be-
low that ppint. The Southern MARYLAND
engages that Mr.. Suit shall construct
that portion Of the road from Bran
DIVINE to this city, and on its COM
pletion the two companies shall enter into
an arrangement by which the Southern
Maryland shall become the purchaser OF les
see of the line this side of Brandywine. 1t
Is also stipulated that the Washington City
and Point Lookout Railroad Company will
drop their present corporate name and adopt
a new one. The Southern Maryland has al
ready finished grading from Brandywine
down thirty miles, and as soon as the wea-
ther permits the laying Of ties and rails will
be commenced. The prospect is now held
out that the people of Charles and the whole
of St. Mary's county will be able to make
the journey to this city by rail by taking the
Baltimore and Potomac trains at Brandy
wine, and from thence by Bowie (Hunting-
toD) to this city. Dir. Suit has arranged-to
actively prosecute this part Of the work on
the opening of the wea.her with the expec.
tation of having this part eldy for the cars
within eighteen months at farthest. = Wash

BLACK AND WHITE RApIcALs.-FRED.
DOUGLASS seizes the opportunity to make u
point upon white Radicals. Bis bit is pal
pable. In his paper the Era he controverts
the idea that white men were the only proper
custodians of the virtue of the nation IN
view of the aptitude Of the colored men TO
sell their votes. The Era compares the CO.
lored members with tue white members in
the various Legislatures where charges OF
corruption have prevailed: "In louisiana
.swe End the colored member refusing an
- offered bride of $4,000; in Kansas we
"tind the white member pleading his poverty
tand demanding $4,000 for his vote. In
"Louisiana the uprightness of the colored
"member rcscues the State from corruption;
Gin Kansas tie white member thrusts cor

"New York the Tammany ring owned the
"Governor and Legislature, and the white

Sketch Of the New Senator from
GEarSnS.


A CIR respondent of the New York 1T''
bune speaks Of the election of John J. ingalls,
TO the United States Senate over Pomcroy as
q triumph of Reform. aud gives the follow
ing sketch of the career OF the new senator:
"He WAS born at Haverhill, Mass, Dccem-
Der 20, 1854, and received his preparatory
education in the schools of his native town.
He entered Williams College in the fall OF
1851, ard was graduated III the class OF 500.
He was good general scholar, and partlcu-
larly distinguished in bclles-settres. After
practicing law in Massachusetts,, he removed
to Kansas in October, 1858, and promptly en-
tered public life, still pursuing his profess
sion. He was a member of the Constltu-
tional Convention in 1859; secretary OF the
s ate Council and of the State Senate in 1861
and 1861; Assistant State Treasurer III 1861;
state Senator from AtcIlison county in 1867;
and the year following became editor of the
Atchison Champion. During the years 1861
'65 he held sucresSively the positions OF lieu
tenant-coIonel Of the State volunteers anu
judge-advocate of Kansas. A few years ago,
when the Republicans of Kansas were divided,
he was prominent opponent oil james IL.
Lane, and ran for LiCuteDant-GoYerDof Oh
fusion ticket Of Democrats ana antt-LiDe
Republicans. but was defeated. since tli''t
time he has rot been very prominent Is
politician, but has won most cnvlaOle rcpll-
tation as one Of the ablcst and most brilliant
lawyers in the State. He Is understood 10
have been candidate last spring for Unitea
States circuit judge, but he did not receive
the support of either Of the Kansas senators,
and WIS consequently not appointed. MI.
Ipgalls is very able and adroit public
speaker and man of elegant culture, with
large gifts of wit and sarcasm, and is likely
to achieve brilliant reputation in the Sc
nate. Too much cannot he said of Instability
and worth, nor can there be TOO much re-
ioicing at his defeating Pomeroy.'
