improvements.

Thus far the present year the
dullness of the times has been felt
in this part of civilization, as well
as in the whole country, and it is
not to be wondered at that the i'm
provements in this city have not
been as great for this season as in
some years in the past, when the
business of the country was in a
most prosperous condition. Yet,
when we look about this beautifully
situated and enterprising little city,
we continually come upon some
new improvement of more or less
important nature, and the indica-
tons are every year growing
stronger, that most of the property
holders of Alpena have finally
come to the conclusion that it is a
settled fact, that Alpena, although
now but in her infancy, is bound tc
grow, flourish and improve, until
she will rank among the leading
cities of the Wolverine State. In al
most every part Of the city, parties
owning property are giving more
of their attention to the improve
ment of the appearance Of grounds
the elevation OF lots, building O
fences, placing stone foundation
under houses, ETC., which remind
the passer-by that the occupan
has "planted" his residence in
substantial manner, aud there h
means to stay. Such are the kim
of improvements that have lonI
been needed here, and We ar
pleased to see so much Of that elias
of work done here the present sea
son. And then, too, the erection

WHO is OSMAN q?

The Turkish Commanders have
their personal identity concealed
under assumed names, that smack
of oriental grandeur. Osman and
Suleiman and Ahmed and Mehem-
ct are men that have about them
the mystery of fabulous gods, much
the same as though they were all
yelled Prophets of Korass an
Like Junius, they must be judged
by the cold rule of success. Ii has
been asserted that Osman is none
other than Marshal Bazaine, who
was banished from France for sur
rendering Motz, in 1870, to the
Prussians.
The latest report is that he is
none other than r. Clay Crawford,
of Hawkins county, Tenn. A cor
respondent of the CoURIER-JoUR-
NAL says he robbed cattle dealer
at Wytheville, Va, and was sent
to the Virginia Penitentiary, from
which he escaped in some way !;
that he re>entercd the Confederate
service and, after the surrender,
went into the service of Mexico
Afterward he enlisted under Khe-
dive of Egypt, and has now com,
mand Of Turkish division.
