is uttered ever 50 thOughtless. The
lapse of a few hours may so surround
and hedge it in horror that of the mil
lions of words which lifetime has re-
corded these two little words alone

medical authorities, they would have
had to make trip to Port Huron,
and trip to Port Huron, at winter
time, would cost each man who went
there to be examined, over a months
salary, in addition to very disagree
able trip. 1t does seem to us that
some other arrangement could be
made for examining persons who de-
sire to join the life saving service, be-
sides having to travel to Port Huron
in winter time. Could not some ply
stefan at this city be appointed to
make the necessary examinations?

We acknowledge the receipt OF
a copy of the first number of the
Michigan Labor Journal. 1t is IN
eight-paged six-column paper, OF
which four pages are printed at home
1t is the organ of the Knights of La
Dor of this city, and o. Williams
is editor and manager. The first page
is entirely under the management OF
the Knights of Labor, and, judging
from the first issue, it will advocate
what we have been doing for years
the suppression of monopolies and
the adjustment Of a protective tariff.
A few years ago it was looked upon
as somewhat traitorous to advocate a
tariff for revenue only, but now we
have the satisfaction of knowing that
the Democratic party in Michigan
has declared in favor of such doc
trine of revenue reform.

Alderman HAYES.

Alderman Hayes, at the Council
meeting last Monday night, addressed
the Common Council as follows:
To tie Mayor and Common Council CITY Of
Alpeaa:
At the last meeting Of the Council,
your honorable body having conferred
upon mo-by unanimous vote-the
honor of being your selection for Com
missioner Of our streets, | herewith
present to your honorable body this,
my resignation as Alderman from the
Second ward, giving therefor the fol-
lowing reasons:
First.-The duties attending the Of
flee of Street Commissioner arc such
as require my undivided attention.
Second.-The duty of all good, con-
scientious aldermen is to legislate i'm
partioliy-unbiased by political con-
victions--for the welfare of our city.
Therefore, while | do not anticipate
that my friends Of opposite political
creed would accuse me Of using the
tenure of my Office as Alderman TO
further my actions as Street Commits
sioner, nevertheless | wish to appear
as consistent as possible, and therefore
wish to relinquish to your honorable
body my Office as Alderman.
Third feel that is duty owe
my constituency Of the Second
ward, that in accepting the office of
Street Commissioner, ] should turn
over to ADLER hands the Office to which
they so generously elected me one
year ago.
All of which, gentlemen, | most
respectfully submit, and respectfully
request your immediate action.
Before taking my leave from you,
gentlemen, | believe it is a duty | owe
to your honorable body, and to my
constituency Of the Second ward, to
lend you whatever material aid | can
in the selection Of my successor.
1t is your wish, | am sure, gentle
men of the Council, to select one
whose opinions and views, on the null
hilarious matters which will come be-
fore you, will have weight and clear
ness.
At the same time, gentlemen, one
whose ideas will be closely allied to
your own, to preserve that spirit of
unanimity which has characterized
our meetings in the past.
Another point, gentlemen-last,
but in no wise lcast-which must not
be overlooked, is to select man ac-
ceptablc to the majority of voters in
the Second ward for it is their rep
resentative he is to be.
In conclusion, gentlemen, | have
consulted many of my constituents in
the Second ward, and | find the pre-
vailing opinion is almost a unit in
favor of one man-Mr. Patrick Gull
iigan. Mr.. Culligan is a gentleman
well known to you all. He needs no
encomiums at my hands. He is we'll
qualified for the position-a man in
whom, gentlemen of the Council,
your utmost confidence can safely re-
pose. He is no office-seeker, as each
and every one of you well know, and
it was only at the solicitation of his
friends that he allowed his name to be
used by me here tonight.
Mr.. Mayor, and gentlemen of the
Council, my request is that Mr.. Pat
rick Culligan be appointed my sue,
cessor rs Alderman from the Second
ward.
Yours very respectfully,
JOHN +. HAYES.

needed attention in the way of refur.

well-known first-class condition. The
Keweenaw has been thoroughly over

Capt. 5. b. Grummond announces
that the steamers, the Flora and At
lantic, have been thoroughly overhaul
ed during the winter, and are in first
class condition for the seasons work.
Capt. Grummond has, us usual, spent
a large amount Of money on these
steamers, and has left nothing I'M
done which can add to the safety and
comfort of his passengers. The steam
ers are now in better shape than last
year, the Atlantic going to Cleveland,
and the Flora to Toledo, and leaving
Hutchins d Co.'S wharf for all st.

the former on Saturday, and the lat
ter on Tuesday evenings. The Flora
will open navigation by leaving for

the evening of Tuesday, April II.
She will ego through" if such a thing
is possible.
The Marine News has the following
regarding the steamer City of Cleve-
land:

land Capt. Albert Stewart will per-
form semi-weekly service on the Lake

days, at 8 A. NJ, the same as last sea-
son. The dining room of this steam
er has been beautified, and many i'm
provements added for the comfort of
patrons.
The remarkable record of 10000
miles service for the season of 1882
established reputation for prompt
ness and despatch never before attain
ed on the lakes, and to meet the de-
mand for a more frequent service of
the same character the company are
now building, at the iron shipyards at
Wyandotte, another iron steamer,
with water-tight compartments, feath-
ering paddles, saloons of mahogany,
tastefully decorated and furnished
with all modern improvements, and to
be equal in every respect to the pop
ular steamer City Of Cleveland. This
new steamer will be named "City of
Mackinaw," and commanded by Capt.
Alex. Mckay, now first officer of the
City of Cleveland. 1t will be ready
for business soon after July l, leaving
Detroit OH Wednesdays at 8 A. NJ,
and Saturdays at II p. NJ, and max
ing four departures per week thereaf
ter. During July and August the
Wednesday and Friday morning trips
from Detroit will be extended to Pc
toskey, arriving there at 10 p. NJ. the
following day. 1t is expected that
this elegant service will materially
increase the number of visitors to
those attractive summer resorts of
northern Michigan, where sufferers
from hay fever, asthma and catarrh find
instant relief and flies and mosquitoes
are hardly seen.

Fish Story.

Edward Kelsey, who is in the south
ern States, stated in letter to parties
in Alpcna, that, while fishing on the
Gulf Of Mexico, he caught, in two
hours time, seventy-fve fish and q
shark. The fish were about the size OF
white fish, taste like salmon, are
known as snappers, and the shark was
five feet long. Allowing twenty min
utes for catching the shark, this
would be catching fish at the rate OF
one in minute and three-quarters.

The Spring number of Ehrich's Fashion
Quarterly more than fulfills the promise
of its predecessors. Within the compass
of its one hundred and twenty pages, it
sets before its readers an absolutely COM
plete epitome of the fashions of the coming
season in ladies' wearing apparel and fab
RIGS of every kind; and this, not in the
shape of series of vague generalities,
such rs the ordinary fashion Journal too
often contents itself with, but by means
of a succession of clearly written descrip-
tons Of actual articles, each accompanied
with an engraving of the thing described,
and all arranged in so orderly and meth
odical q manner that any desired informa-
ton can be referred to without difficulty.
The literary features OF the Magazine also
deserve their need of praise. Published
by Enrich Bros, Eighth avenue, New
York, at 80 cents year, or 10 cents a
copy.
