MAYORS ADDRESS.
Gentlemen Of the City Council:
We are to-day comine ncing on the 26th year OF
our municipal government. Our citizens have
with great unaniaity, chosen me to fill the office
of their chief executive. In assuming the office
| feel very grateful for the honor conferred upon
me by nv fellow citizens; and in scce pting the
situation can but feel that there is great re-
sponsihility resting upon me. While ADLER men
than myself have preceded me, and have fill ed
the position with honor to themselves and 10 the
city, it is with extreme diffidence that | at this
time present myself before you Trusting TO
merit your sympathy and your support, thereby
making my duties lighter, | hope we shall be sac
cessful in meeting the various necessities of the
city in a manner to secure the appreciation of all.
And as we commence this new wear, let us not be
unmnsful of the goodness of t1st kind Provi
dence who has mercifully spared our lives, who
has watched over this community aud kept it free
from serious disaster by fire or flood. And may
we look to Ii IN for guidance and strength, to
Him who is the giver Of all good gifts so that in
carrying out the best interests of the city, may
be serving Him IN spi it aud in truth.
BY referring TO the reports OF the several com
mittees and departments of the city government.
which will soon be printed and placed before you,
| am enabled to give you some little idea of the
state of the finances of the city. A the wants of
the city are about the same each year, you can
Judge some what from the reports the amounts
needed TO he appropriated 1t would be well for
all to closely examine The reports of the expendi
lures 10 orer to be better able the funds of
the city in Judicous mann.r. The reports of
some depaI ut, may show expenditure the
past year which may with propriety be reduced
the present; Others may need an Increase. That,
gentlemen, is for you to determine.

Our City Watch has been maintained at a cos,

the fact of their having been on duty the whole
wear, shows that but hItle fault has been found
with them. As far as know they have given
good satisfaction. In addition to their duties OF
patrolng the streets, they have had the Of

REMEDY FOR MERCURY AND LEAD POS
oNING.-A Belgian scientific jury has late
Nv awarded to NJ. NJ lsens the Guinard
prize OF 10 600 francs for the best contri-
button to The amtlioration of the condition
OF the working classes. The award was
based upon the imporl ant discovery oil NJ
Melsens of an effective remedy for mer.
curry and lead poisoning, to effects OF
which workmen employed in many occu-
patioDs requiring The manipul ,llon OF
these metals are dangerously exposed. and
especially to the insidious cumulative Ell
fects resulting in chronic evils which have
heretofore been obstinattly incurable.
The remedy proposed by NJ. Melsens. and
which he has demonstrated t. be eilica-
cious not only in the cure Of chronic cases
resulting from years of exposure to and ac-
cumulalion OF the poisous III the system,
but also n the prevention OF disease from
these sources. il the iodIde of potassium
The action ofthe iodide is TO transform into
soluble form and to eliminate from the sys
tenn the accumulation OF insuluble metallic
compounds, upon the presence of which
the affections OF the organs involved by
the disease depend. The French Acad-
emy likewise has crowned this important
discovery with the Mouthyon prize.
AN EXPANSIVE PETITION. 1t is well at

rating the incidents OF the lite and char
acter OF the deceased, his family, rela-

usual caution:
Mr. Pnipps died, being the third hus-
band OF Mrs. p At the funeral, their
regular minister being out of town. the
Methodist minister was requested to Off
ciale. Having recently been assigned TO
the town, and being almost u stranger,
he had to be hastily posted as to the de-
ceased, his family etc. AT the funeral all
went well. and stranger might have
thought him an old and intimate friend of
the late Mr.. Phipps. But he was a little
foggy on the widow, ior III his prayer he
lost his reckoning, and brought the widow
in about in this wise: "And now we
commend TO Thy care this widow, Thy
handmade, who nas been bereaved again
and again and again." then hesllating an
instant. he added, land perhaps again.

This shows that the Radical party
is not dead, and that in the low, l.
counties, if not in all, the Radicals
will make super human Efforts to
carry the Legislature and the
county tickets. They will succeed
in some localities, unless the Demo
cratic party throughout the State
lnauguratcs such a spirited cam
paign that its influence will be felt
in the strong Radical counties. A
desperate contest will also be waged
in the first, second and fifth Con-
gressional districts. Democrats
must not fall asleep in fanciel
security that the Radicals are con-
verted simply because they make
no opposition to Hampton. This
is an evidence Of Radical astutc-
ness. A full State ticket nominat~
ed by them would arouse the
Democrats to u campaign similar
to that of 1876. But by making
no conspicuous effort, tho Radicals
hope to steal u march on the
Democrats and capture tho Legs-
lature. This design need only be
to DO defeated.
Whether these tickets be put in the
field depends entirely upon the
sloth or supineness Of the Democ-
racy. They have the matter in
their own hands.
