SNUFF DIPPING DESTROYS BEAUTY,
AND EVEN RUINS THE
CALVES.

Talk about the opium eater or the
whisky drinker, how much more are
they to be pitied than the lady who is
addicted to dipping snuff We be-
lieve there is more snuff used in Hop.
k'nsville than in any other place of its
size in Kentucky, and its use is steadi-
~ on the increase. HopkinsvilIe has a
reputation for pretty women, but how
long that reputation will last it's hard
to tell. Some Of tho pretticst women
we knew ten or twelve years ago are
now nothing but faded flowers. Lips
that once looked like ripe cherries, and
for ono kiss from which o man would
almost give his right arm. now look
more like dried apples than anything
else we can think of. The cheek, once
full and rosy, is now sunken and color
less. The chin, which looks longer.
now glorles in bronze colored stripe,
which reaches, down to the, throat,

other day, and noticed a lady coming

her boot-tops. We know the aristo.

what has become of the nicely round
ed anklei 1t wasn't there. When we
got near enough to look into the lady's
face VIC knew that snuff had done its
work. Snuff is robbing women of
their beauty and depriving them of
husbands. 1t is more harmful than
smoking and more repulsive than
chewing, and its use by ladies is al
most as much to be condemned as the
drinking of whiskey by men; and if the
ladies have grounds to talk about men
drinking and smoking they are assured
that snutf-dipping in the eyes of men
is about as reputsive as the smell of a
two-cent'and-ahalf cigar or a sniff of
"riae' whisky to the olfactories of the
fair sex.
We indulge the hope that soon there
will be an anti-snutf society formed
which will be twin sister of our tenn
perance society. We have no idea how
many ladies in our city will take excep-
ton to this article. If all that use
snuff were to get after us, we would
call their name Legion, but we are up

sensible mothers in town, in entering
protest against habit, the adoption of
which by girl is almost as much to be
dreaded by parent as is the first

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Morning Courier,

DECENT POLITICAL EVENTS
IL indicate speedy return of the
Democratic party to supreme power in
the nation. The House Of Representa-
tives is now Democratic by a large
majority; the government of more than
one halt of the States is administered
by Democrats; the party enters upon
the Presidential contest with the
brightest hopes, and under the most
substantial encouragement.
| The wonderful revelations of rascal
ity and corruption on the part of Re-
publican leaders, which have burdened
the press and Mortified the people dur
ing the past three years, make it clear
ly the duty Of every man to take an
active part in the great contest of the
present year. More than at any pre-
vious time in the history of the coun-
try, a trustworthy daily newspaper is
now necessary to every citizen, in or
der that he may intelligently discharge
his political duties. The CHICAGO
MORNING COURIER is consistent
Democratic newspaper. 1t will be de-
voted to the work ofaiding in rescuing
the nation from the party that has de-
bauched its service, squandered it's
treasure and enslaved it's liberties. 1t
will advocate speedy return to specie
payments, but believes that this result
should be brought about by economical
management of the Government, and
not by arbitrary enactment. It be.
lieves in greenbacks at par, and the
same currency for the rich and the
poor. It will advocate Home Rule,
Free Trade and public economy, the
old cardinal principles of the Demo.
cratic party.
The Courier has established wide
spread reputation as first class news
paper. The aim of it's management is
to make it all that the public in these
hurrying days can desire, namely
a complete newspaper. Every facility
known to modern journalism will be
utilized to insure the prompt presenta-
ton of all important intelligence from
all parts Of the world, while the utmost
care will be excised to CLEAN only such
as is worth printing. In short, the
Courier will give all the news as
promptly as any other paper, and con-
densed into more attractive and read
able form than the blanket sheets.
Terms-Mail subscriptions, postage
free, six dollars per annum, or fifty
cents per month, in advance.

"Lo, on the Warpath.

Monday night two of the most ''noble
red" who, becoming tired Of enjoying
the sports Of their native wilds, bid
adieu to their haunts amid the primeval
forests-forsaking the excitements Of the
chase-had sought their exhileration in
the domains of civilization. And of
course in coming in contact with the
white man he must necessarily adopt
some of the white mans traits, and the
ones they adopt are not always the most
commendahle and in this case certainly
not, for they learned to imbibe of that
'sfre-water" which awakens all the COM
bative elements of their savage nature.
After getting in suitable condition
for the war dance, they sailed fourth in
search of their victims, who they were
not long in finding. Of course it was
the old feud between the red man and
the white. They both found an enemy
who they presumed were encroaching
OH their respective rights.
The battle ragged fierce and wild for a
time, when poor "Lo," either from the
effect of imbibing too much '.tangiefoot,n
or because of degeneracy of his race, or
from the natural supremacy of the white
man, was obliged to succumb in both
cases. No scalps were taken, however,
as trophies Of victory, and they live to
fight again another day.

Governor Bagley is making one of the
best, if not the best, Governors Michigan
ever had. He is showing this in mole
ways than one. He watches the minutests
interests of the people of the state with
as much fidelity as those of the greatest
Importance. He is not what would gen
orally be called speech maker or let
ter writer. But whenever he makes a
speech or writes letter they are sure to
be filled "chuck full" of good sound
common sense, if it is not in as finished
rhetoric as some of our public men. In
his address to the people of the state of
Michigan which We publish in another
column. as he states i'm the outset, he has
followed no established precedent, but
has called the attention of the people to
several matters Of public interest in such
a manner as to insure him the attention
and sympathy of the people. The most
important portion of the address is his
request to every citizen of the state who
is the owner Of land to plant tree of
some kind i'm cOmmemoration of the Gen.
tennial year. The TRIBUNE heartily
joins the Governor in this request, and
hopes that every reader of this paper
will plant the tree, and at the same time
plant another i'm honor Of Governor Bag
ley, who first made the suggestion, and
who richly deserves the compliment for
the interest he takes in the welfare of the
people Of the state.

After the weather we have been hav-
ing this week it may seem to our readers
somewhat premature to talk about the
opening of navigation yet we see the
usual indications. such as boats running
in the rivers of the southern portions Of
the state. From the Detroit Post We
learn that the steamer Carrie II. Blood
was to have resumed his regular route
between Marine City and Port Huron
last Monday. The following is special
dispatch to the same paper, dated St. Jo-
seph February H.: 1.-The fishing tug g.
r. Green, Of Milwaukee. C. III. Sullivan
captain, came. into port last Saturday. the
first arrival of the season. On the same
day the captain went and set forty-ti three
nets, lifting them to-day with haul Of
about 1000 pounds of fine whitefish and
lake trout. The captain and gang of
men to-day set forty-seven nets, which
will be lifted tomorrow, weather per-
hitting. The tug will go out nearly
every day from this time forward"
which seems to indicate that an early
opening OF navigation may be expected.

The Mackinaw and Marquette Railroad
The appearance of a new company, mo-
ticed last week, headed by Capt. Craw.
and making propositions to the Board of
Control, looking towards the acceptance
of the Northern Psninsular land grant
and building the Mackinaw and Mar
quette railroad, had the effect of waking
up the company originally proposing to
do the work, from what was by many
considered to be its last sleep. Repre-
sentatives of that company were present
at the Board meeting on Wednesday and
gave evidence that the company is not
dead. No definite action was taken re-
garding the building of the road but the
talk was very encouraging, and the rep
resentatives of the company started east
Wednesday night to ascertain definitely
what arrangements could be made.
Should they be able to accomplish any
thing the Board will be called together
upon their return and their propositions
received. The outlook now seems 70 be
somewhat encouraging. The Marquette
people seem to be determined to have
the road built lift be possible. We trust
before many weeks to announce definites
ly that the road will be built.

Fires at Alpeno.

Last Monday morning the large wood
ell block of Perry Beebe, on Dock street,
at Alpena, took fire and was burned to
the ground, together with the contents
of the building. Beebe's loss on the
stock and building is $4,000; insured
for $500. w. O'Brien lost OH the shoe
shop and stock $1,000; insured for 81 900.
The Alpena Boat Club, which occupied
the hall, lost $3.50 worth of fixings not
insured.
Wednesday about noon another fire
broke out and consumed three or four
dwellings. The steam fire engine was
froze up so that they could not get it to
work for some time after the alarm WAS
given, and after they got it in working
they had trouble getting to
water on account of the ice in the river.
In the meantime the fire got so much the
start that it was impossible to extinguish
it until the buildings were consumed.

There has been great deal said in the
papers regarding the proposed ship canal
to connect the waters of Lake Michigan
and Lake Erie. A writer in the Grand
Rapids Edgle sums the matter up in the
following conclusions, which we think
are worthy the consideration Of those adj
vocating the project:
The Michigan ship canal is Utopian
ami fancifuI, because:
Tn r. is not water enough in the
state, accessible. TO run it.
The state will not build it.
The general government will not build
it. = -
Individuals will not build it.
1t is not needed, except in winter.
1t would come in competition with-the
lakes. 80 -
The railroads are now working at
loss.
1t would not pay. 1t could not hope
to pay against the lakes and the rail-
roads. Chi Bono?

Tho Mystery Solved.

He did not claim to -be i'm the '.fruit
tree" business when here, but rather in
timated that he was ship carpenter.
We refer to the mysterious stranger
whose advent into and exit from town
we noticed last week. However, upon
his return to Petoskey, he showed that
he was we'll acquainted with 1.-The ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain"
His smile was very bland, and he took
some of the Petoskey fellows in most
beautifully; so well in fact that he de-
serves to be ranked with the 'siruit tree'
man, although owing to the fact that in
Peteskey there was not as much cash
capital available, he did not make as good
haul. There are parties in that village
Of rural ignorance and simplicity who
have no desire to make the acquaintance
of any more parties of this character.

Custom House.

We learn from the Congressional Rec
ord that on the 18th inst, Representative
Bradley of this district asked the unani-
nous consent of the House to introduce
for passage bill declaring Cheboygan a
port of delivery. The bill was read for
information. 1t provides that Cheboy-
gan. i'm the collection district Of Michi-
gan, be declared port of delivery in
stead Of Duncan City, and that the Office
be removed to Cheboygan.
Representatives Garfield of Ohio, and
Holman of Indiana objected.
Representative Conger, of the Port
Huron district, explained that the bill
only proposed change Of location of
only mile or so, and made no new Of
fee.
When the matter was thus explained
ii objections were withdrawn and the
bill was introduced, read a first and sec
ond times, referred to the Committee on
Commerce and ordered to be printesi-
which action we take as being decidedly
favorable to the bill being passed at an
early day.

Time Did Not Win.

During the excitement attending the
preparations for the races, which took
place last week, two of our citizens held
somewhat different opinions upon the
time which the horses could or would
make. One. was Willing to wager $50
that he could produce horse owned in
the counties admitted to the race, which
conld make his mile i'm 2:52. The other
was willing TO back his opinion that he
could not, 10 the same amount A. P.
Newton hell the stakes. Last Wednes-
day was the last day OF grace, as we un-
derstand it, for the horse to make the
time. So far as we can learn. no horse
has trotted mile in that "space of a
period" Our confident friend has
therefore lost his money which demon
strates that doubling sometimes pays.

laundering.

As far as we can gather from our ex-
changes and other sources the want of
snow to enable the jobbers to get out
their logs is yet felt in the more southern
portion of the state. Even as far north as
Alpena this lack of snow Is felt. The
Argus Of last week says:
'As yet there has been no good weather
in this section for numbering, and the
present indications are that. at most, not
more than half a crop of logs will be got
in; and then it will depend great deal
on the spring rains to bring the logs
down..
And such is the hopeless tenor Of all
the information we can derive. The fur
ther south the worse off they are; so that
we think our jobbers have been highly
favored, and should have prosperous
winters operation.

In accordance with the requirements
OF the law the Local Commissioner pre-
sented the proposals received for doing
the work necessary upon the inland nav
igation improvement to the Board Of
Control at their meeting IN Lansing last
Wednesday. They were opened by the
Board aud compared carefully with the
engineers estimate of the cost of the
work, upon file at hat office. The pro-
posals for doing the dredging submitted
by Mr. o. Il. Green, Of Chicago, was
found not to exceed the estimated cost,
and although thought by some of the
members of the Board to be high, was
finally accepted and the Local Commits
sioner was instructed to enter into con-
tract with him to do the work.
The examination of the proposals for
doing the other work necessary upon the
improvement showed them to be above
the estimate and what the individual
members of the Board thought the work
should be done for. 1t was voted, there
fore. not to accept the proposals for this
portion of this work, and that the Local
Commissioner be instructed to secure
more favorable proposals fordoing the
work. = - - -
Upon the request of the Local Com
missioner, in order to expedite the COM
pletiOn of the work. he. i'm conjunction
with. Commissioner Haviland. was in
structed to make contract for doing the
work as soon, and upon the best terms
possible. Under these instructions the
Commissioner is prepared to receive pro-
posals for any and all portions of the
work. 1t is very desirable that the work
be commenced at once therefore, We
hope that any one who. has any desire to
do any portion Of the work will call upon |
him at once and submit propositions.
