The Alpena City Hospital.

The undersigned would announce
to the citizens of Alpena and vicinity,
that they have opened an Hospital
for the treatment of all Surgical and
other diseases.
This new enterprise meets want
that has long been felt in this COM
munity, where large number Of un-
married men, sick or wounded, away
from home, will find all the comforts
of warm rooms, good, clean beds,
proper food, good nursing, careful
attention and skilful treatment of ex-
perienced Physicians and Surgeons.
The Hospital is managed on the
Cooperative plan, at present. Those
wishing to receive its benefits pay
from SO to So per year in advance
and If taken sick or injured any time
during the year, they will be taken
care of, boarded and treated without
any further charge.
The rates charged are so moder-
ate, compared with the benefits re-
ceived, that this Hospital must COM
mend itself to the public as soon as
it shall be thoroughly understood.
Arrangements are made that one
of the Doctors will be on duty night
and day, when required by one or
more patients.
DR.. Maiden's great experience as q
Surgeon during our late war, the
last year of which he had charge of o
large Military Hospital, together
with over twenty years practice,
cannot be questioned in its'success.
DR.. Newton, although younger,
has had large Hospital experience,
and has particularly devoted good
portion of his time to the study of
diseases of the Eye and Ear.
We would respectfully solicit the
earnest support of this enterprise,
especially by those whom it is most
intended to benefit.

Health the Best Wealth.

Nothing discourages the health re-
former like the quiet satisfaction with
which people live without health. If a
woman can eat and sleep, and is able to
attend to the ordinary duties of life with
out pain, she is not only satisfied, but
grateful for such a merciful dispense
ton.
Let people be satisfied with such pow
erty in other departments of life; let a
man be satisfied with just enough to buy
food for the hour; we cry out "Shiftless,
good-for-nothing," and yet how con-
temptible is money by the side of health!
A man who lives in the midst of the
new continent is rich, if he possesses
health. No matter what may be his sur
roundings, though he be millionaire or
wear crown, he is poor indeed, If he
he sick.
/ want TO see noble ambition to
grow rich in this true wealth. / want
to see men and women very misers of
physical vigor
Look at those two men. They are the
ordinary pale, round-shouldered Ameri-
cans. To-day they have nothing but
their naked hands and brave hearts.
They engage in the struggle for success.
One gives up body and soul to making
money, the other, generous part of his
life to laying up this incstimable wealth
of health. Ten years elapse; now we
look at them again.
The greedy merchant counts his gold
by the million; but he Is twenty years
older than when we saw him first. lie
is thinner and paler, he is dyspeptic,
nervous, anxious, old, thoroughly un-
happy. That man has made wretchcd
failure in life. Every large heart sincere
ypities him.
Now we look at the other. Erect, broad
chested, muscular, vigorous, healthy,
happy, buoyant, victorious. We will not
trouble ourselves to ask how much money
he has collected. We cannot look upon
him without feeling that he has achieved
grand triumph.

Mr.. Gladstone has been terrified into
the rcappointment of Mr.. Forster 10 be
Chief Secretary of Ireland. We regret
It, If it means n return to the coercion
policy and the mailed hand again, there
is no good in it. The murder Of Lord
Cayendish and Mr.. Burke was not the
crime OF those who owed most to Mr..
Gladstone's bold and noble movement
for Cancellation. If the British public
have made Mr.. Gladstone's change of
front an act of self-preseryation few will
complain of him, but the friends Of peace,
order, and humanity will regret that
the fearful tragedy of Saturday did
not tend to chasten, rather than
to exasperate England, as it could
not fail to do Ireland. In the presence
of murder so foul the Irish people would
have been more easily controlled by a
brave trust in them than they can ever be
by force and hate. The distress of Ire
land was nobly voiced in the manifesto
put forth by Mr.. Parnell and his Land
League associates, and if Englishmen
could but have passed the paroxysm oi
their anger, and accepted the protesta,
tions of the Irish leaders, ii would have
led to desirable results which are now
postponed indefinitely. Perhaps Mr.
Forster may be able by moderation tc
begin a new career on better terms with
the Irish than heretofore, but it is hardly
TO be expected.

A bill was introduced yesterday to aid
in making further Arctic exploration,
and detailing Master Lucien Young as
commander of the expedition. 1t pro-
poses an appropriation of 100000 to pay
the expenses, and authorizes the Secre-
tary of the Navy to purchase vessel at
q cost not TO exceed $4,000.
We have had enough of the Arctic cx-
ploration business. If any foolhardy
men desire to engage in it hereafter let
them do it on their own account No
money out of the public treasury, and no
more detailing Of naval officers for such
folly. A balloon expedition to the moon
or dive to the bottom of the Atlantic
might find some favor, but no North
Pole hunt will excite anything but gem
eral disgust for some years to come. Let
the bill die.
