her eyes or ooquetting with fan. She never
languishes, she is too active. She is not given
to sensation novels, she is too busy. In public
she is not in front showing her shoulders; she
sits quiet and unobtrusive at the back of the

= CHARACTERISTIC SPEECH BY Elk COVER.
NOR WisE.-At the John Mitchell memorial
meeting. held ia Richmond, w., on Thurs
day evening, Ex-Governor Henry A. Wise
was one of the speakers. Tile said he had
no opportunity to prepare a set speech,
and he needed none on such an occasion.
He was half Scotch and half Ed Gaish but in.
the very blood of his heart he was an Irish
man. He had known John M,tshel well,
and he sympathixed with him because he
was an nnreconstrncted rebel, rs he was.
He alluded to the many obstacles with
which Mitchell bad to contend, and how he
battled bravely with them all. Since the
term ''felon" had been applied to John
Mitchell it was the highest word on the roll
of honor. He would consider it moro honor
TO bear the name, feion, as bestowed on
Mitchell, than Disraeli's title of premier.

Cold Weather.

The cold weather for the past
two or three weeks has been the
means of showing the difference In
not few thermometers In town,
and out too, as for that matter. !
looked at mythermometer Wednes-
day morning and found that it only
run down to "a degrees below ze-
70 while that Of my neighbor across
the street indicated 81, but then,
it was colder weather over there.
Mr.. O'Fannagan said that he laid
his thermometer under the pillow
and hung his watch out against a
fence post, and some one was kind
enough to take such good care of
it for him that he hasn't seen it
since.
In the Second ward, one man
informed me that it couldn't have
been very cold, if he could judge
from his wife's temper, which run
up to boiling heat, broke two lamp
chimneys, one broomstick, the stove
handle, and four breakfast plates,
besides soiling his hair and dislo-
eating his nose. So
1t was 80 cold in the First ward
that it froze the coat collar off of o
photograph Of a Nebraska land
agent, and all the China eggs in the
community froze and burst.
Eighteen degrees was as low as
the weather went in the Third
ward, but several fence posts were so
severely frozen that amputation be-
came an absolute necessity.
But at Long Lake it must have
been fearfully cold. One of the
residents there, a man who is we'll
known as strictly truthful, says
that, according to his thermom eter,
1t was two hundred and eleven
below zero on the north side of
'hemlock stump, and that he didn't
know butt would have been some
what colder If his thermometer
had only been long enough, but it
wasn't.

1t makes a vast difference which
foot the boot is on, as the actions
of the present Common Council of
this city plainly prove.
For nearly two years now the
Recorder has held his office in the
bank building of Bewick, Comstock
& Co., and here the Recorder has
done no small amount of business
for the city,-even working many
times till nearly midnight. He has
during the time used the fuel OF
the Banking Co. when occasion re-
quired, and, of course, he supposed
that when the bill was presented,
it would be allowed. But how vain
the hope. AS yet nothing has ever
been charged the city for the use
of this office, and only recently a
bill of s22 dollars for coal was pre-
sented. This bill was referred to
the Committee on Ways and Means,
and in their report they said that
the bill should be paid by the, Re-
corder, and that they were adverse
to it being paid by the city.
Alderman Seage is chairman of
that committee, and he had proba-
bly, forgotten that he was instru-
mental in forcing the city to pay,
not only for fuel, but rent, ETC., for
some particular pets. We have a
recollection, too, Of the disallowing
Of strictly legitimate bill from
the former Police Justice, of $40,
for use of Office, and in the face of
that disallowed bill, the Council
turned round and rented and fur
nisbed an Office at the expense of
the city for the now acting Police
Justice.
Yes, let the Recorder furnish his
own office, coal, oil, ETC., but il the
Comptroller or Police Justice are
in want of anything, compel the
city to purchase it for them.
Probably some of our citizens
would like to have the Council an
swer these questions, before they
tell the Recorder to pay for the
coal himself: Who rents an office
for the Comptrollerl Who fur
nishes the stove, fuel, and oil (six-
teen gallons for the winter) for the
Comptroller's officei 1t is the city
of Alpena, And then, too, where
did the furniture and stove in the
Office of the. Police Justice come
fromf Why, the city bought It;
and the city also pays the rent for
the same Office. That is right and
proper, according to the reports of
the Committee on Ways and Means,
but the Recorder is not "tool' for
the Council, SO he may furnish any
thing he chooses, II he viii only
pay the bills himself. hxN
