There is no luck about this, and it is

1t seems to be all but impossible to as
certain the exact state OF Gen. Grants
health. About half the New York papers
saw that he cannot live more than 80 days,
while the other half report that he is i'm
proving and is in no immediate danger.
The general impression, however, is that
he is a doomed man, and will die ter
rible death before many months. The
sympathy with him in his affection is not
limited by party, sectional or race lines.

The Philadelphia Press is beginning to
moralize since the Inauguration, and it
seems to be somewhat disguised to so back
to the days of primitive simplicity. 1t
says: '.Fulton county, Pennsylvania, has
not a single mile of railroad within her
borders, and has no almshouse or
paupers dependent upon her chart
ty. Potter county issues no license
to sell liquors, and succeeds in Civ
ing practical enforcement to local
option law. Her Jail is empty most of the
time, and her charity demands reduced to
a minimum. Civilization and progress
evidently bring cares, crimes and respoE-
sibIlity in their wake."

Chairman Willis, of the House Com
mittee on Rivers and HarbOrs, is prima-
rily responsible for the failure OF Con-
gress to pass river and harbor bill, be-
cause he delayed the bill to such late
period of the session before he reported it
to the House, and Senator Van Wyck Is
responsible for defeating the bill appro-
priating $4,000, 900 for rivers and harbOrs.
Van Wyck talked the five million to death.
The irregular and supplementary way
in which legislators in several OF the
States punch each others heads is little
less than outrageous. A standing conf
mittee ought to be appointed in each legis-
lative body to see that head-punching is
done in a decent and orderly manner.

Our City Fathers.

Council will please come to order" said
the Mayor as he raped on the desk, last
Monday night, March 80, 1885. Aldermen
Warner, Campbell, Culligan and Lynch
took their seats. Recorder McVicar then
read the minutes of the last two meetings,
which were approved. Aldermen Holmes
and Owens soon appeared.
City Attorney reported that special
election was required by law in regard to
citizens voting to bond the city in order to
raise money with which to build bridge.
Report ordered filed.
Caspar Alpern asked permission to
erect n onc-story wooden building on the
Comstock dock near the bridge. Council
appeared to favor the project, but discover
cd that the ordinance forbid such action,
and the matter was referred to the City At
torney for information in regard to the
power of the Council concerning the mat
ter
Engine house No. was ordered replank-
ed.
A motion was made to have both compa-
MES turn out at every fire. Considerable
discussion ensued. The advocates of the
motion claimed that it would not cost the
city anything extra to have both compa-
MES turn out The opponents claimed that
Council had appointed Chief Engineer to
manage the 6rcdcpartment; that he had not
requested the present plan to be changed |;
that it is best as it now is; that il was not
right for Council to make the proposed
change at request of few fremen, and
without concurrence of the Chief; that de-
fects in the present system could be RENE
died f; and that it was fair to the firemcp,
and caused less burdens to the taxpayers.
The motion was lost. The present system
is that the hose companies do not cross the
river to attend fires unless sent for by an
official. No. goes to all fires on the south
side of the river, and No. 2. goes to fires on
the north side of the river. The company
that attends a fire gets 50 for each man
present-the other company goes to their
engine house and each man gets 81. II the
fire threatens to prove serious, the compa-
ny that is waiting at the engine house is
telephoned for, and if they throw water
they get 50 for each man.
The Marshal was instructed to look after,
and take care Of, certain lumber belonging
to the city, and which is piled up at three
different places.
The Mayor stated that the annual report
could not be presented to the Council as the
Treasurer had not yet made his report.
The Chief Engineer reported having
paid to the City Treasurer S4l00, Of which
$3.50 was received for hauling ice and
$3.50 for rent Of house.
The Council adjourned to the 3l,t, to
meet at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at the
Recorders Office.

Rheumatic Syrup does what no
other remedy has been able to do,
viz: to dissolve and expcl from the
system the corrupt particles which
circulate in, and poison the blood,
causing Rheumatism and Neuralgia
in their various and aggravating
forms.
Arrest, but not imprison diseases
like scrofula and salt rheum by using
outward applications, but use Rhcu-
matte Syrup to cleanse the blood and
your system will soon be freed from
these most loathsome of all diseases.
Young lady, would you like those
ugly blotches and pimples removed
from your face? Then purify your
blood by the use of Rheumatic Syrup,
and you will bless the day when you
first heard of it.
Rheumatic Syrup, as an Alternative,
successfully eradicates scrofula, cry
sipelas and salt rheum. AS Stomatic
it cures, as if by magic, dyspepsia,
indigestion, gastric inflammation, and
kindred affections.

For the purpose of comparing this
years appropriations with the record
ed totals of proceeding years it is
necessary to deduct the amount of
the six months naval bill, which pro-
perly belongs to the account of the
first session, and also the amount
which is payable out of the postal
revenues. The latter item includes
s1,75S, 467.57 of the deficiency appro-
priation, and amounts altogether to

The President Surprises the Church
going People of Washington.

The decision OF President CleVe-
land to attend the Rev. DIR. Byron
Sunderland's Presbyterian church be-
came known March %, and will oc-
casion quite as much talk in Wash
ington as any act Of the administra-
ton. Several Presbyterian churches
have competed for the honor and
profit attached to the Presidents
church" at the capital, but no one
ever thought of suggesting that it was
possible that DIR. Sunderland's church
would be the choice of n Democratic
President. Its pastor has been known
for thirty years as radical Republi-
can. In the fierce agitation Of the
slavery question thirty years ago he
took such part as to cause a split in
his congregation, which took away
the pro-slavery members and the bulk
of wealth and responsibility of the
congregation. His loyalty at the
outbreak of the war drove many
others away, and the church has
never recovered from the loss of so
many good.paying members, and has
since been feebly pecuniary,
Yesterday note from Mr.. Lamont
came to DIR. Sunderland requesting
him to send to the President diagram
of the church, with the pews and
their price, which was sent. A pew
was selected, 4 check given for the
rent for a year, and this morning
Miss Cleveland and Mrs. Hoyt took
their seats in "the Presidents pew"
much to the surprise Of the congre-
CATION, not one of whom knew of the
Presidents intention.
Thirty-fve years ago DIR. Sunder-
land was pastor of Presbyterian
church in Buffalo, and came from
that city to Washington. Among
those who attended his church there
was Mrs. Cleveland, the Presidents
mother, and in all probability the lit
tie boy Grover was often taken to
hear the man who will now preach
to him as President Miss Cleveland,
some days ago, recalled to the Presi-
dents mind the many times she had
heard her mother speak in warmest
terms of regard for the pastor, Byron
Sunderland, who was then noted for
his impassioned eloquonce and sturdy
zeal.
Dr. Sunderland's church is situated
on Four-and-a-half street, between d
and c, in an questionable part of
the city, although it was once the
favorite residence quarter. The build
ing is large and has n seating capaci-
ty as great as any in the city. AT
present the congregation is small, and
probably there is not a Democratic
member in the church. There has
never been since the war any distinc-
ton made in the church OH account
of color, in the reception of applicants
for membership, and there are several
colorcd members. 1t was the pastors
act in inviting Fred Douglass to
speak from his pulpit twenty years
ago that caused the withdrawal of
many of its mombcrs.-Boston Her.

The above is equal to S10.34 per
head for every man, woman and child
child in Alpena city. Some members
of the Council appear to think that
the above list, which was in last
weeks issue, reflects on them. If their
conscience troubles them in that re-
spect, they will have to suffer. The
above table is just what it processes to
be-a statement Of the taxes raised
in Alpena city for all purpOses-and
not merely for those of the Council.
1t shows the burdens placed on the
people. 1t is too heavy.
The Board of Education have told
the people why they had to have in
creased appropriations-for building
q much needed school house and other
necessary improvements. The appro-
priation for the present year will be
at least S3,OOO less.
The Board of Supervisors reduced
their appropriations some 81 400, and
the duty of the new Board, to be
elected next Monday, will be to see
that the appropriation is not over
drawn.
The large amount paid by the
Council, has been for running ex-
penses; a few rods of macadamized
street; a sewer on Dock street, n
sewer on Second street; a stone crush
er, and other matters. These appro-
priations were nearly twice as much
as the year before.
