Apropos to the case OF dog which, during re-
cent low water, crossed the rapids above Niagara
Falls to small islet, and ia now unable to re-
turn, the Niagara Falls Register recalls two in
stances in which dogs have been sent over tue
fals, and survived the plunge. In November,
1886. troublesome female bull-terrier was put
in coffee sack, by couple of men who had de-
termined to get rid of her, and thrown of from
the middle OF Goat Island Bridge. In the follow
ing spring she WAS found alive and we'll about Go
rods below tho ferry, having lived through tho
winter on dead COW that was thrown over the
hank the previous fall. In 1855 another dog, a
male OF the same breed, was thrown into The
rapids, also near the middle OF the bridge. In
lees than an hour he came up the ferry stairs
very wet and not at al1 gay. The reason why the
animals arc not killed is that the water ponrs
down so rapidly aud in such quantities that the
water below, so to speak, cannot run of fast
enough, and it piles up in large water-cones,
which are constantly forming and breaking. II
any strong animal should fall On TO one OF these
cones, as upon soft cushion, it might slide
safely into the current below. The dogs were
doubtless fortunate enough to fall in this way,
aided, also. by the repulelon OF tho water from
the rocks in the swift channel through which
they passed. It ia not impossible that some
strong man, in 3 light strong boat, may thus, at
some future time, go over the Horseshoe Fall,
and not be killed.

10 the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO. June 29.-A correspondent in this
mornings Inter- OCEAN gives vent to the follow
ing. which for sublime ignorance is probably un-
paralleled: II hold that paper greenhack is
to-day better measure Of value than gold
dollar itself. The former il part Of value
that cannot DO changed BY tho combined power
of ali the rings, caba]s. and cliques on earth,
while the latter is in the power of the gold-room
on Wall street, varying every moment Of the
day, as the telegraph dispatches continually tes-
tify." Even letting alone the imitation
question, this individuals idea that
because he sees in his newspaper that gold is
116, therefore gold fuctuates, is positively re-
treshing. Gold is 116-whst? Why, paper
dollars. Gold has been the worlds standard
for several thousand years, but the amount Of
gold paper dollar will buy changes every day.
because such men as &C." are trying to deprive
the paper dollar OF its only value, VIZ: An in
violable promise Of the United States to make it
good in gold. If the paper dollar is measure
Of value, 1t is so secondariy because it repre-
sents so much gold =; and this rule will not
change until paper becomes SO scarce and yalu-
able as to be sought alter for itself. A. r.

To tn Editor Of The CHICAGO TRIBUNE:
CHICAGO, July 3.-One OF the most hsgrant
and e1asperating evils in our midst is the de-
struction Of plumbing BY thieves. There seems
to be thoroughly y-organized system among this
class Of plunde1ers which pervades our whole
city. No house can remain vacant twenty four
hours without having the doors forced, or win
dows broken, and all tho lead pipes IN kitchen,
bathroom. water-closets, etc. Tuthlessly cut
and carried away, causing damage Of from $40
to 500 to the owner, while Probably yielding to
the despicable thief only few sbllhngs.
These rope-deaerving scouudrels would un-
hesitatingly burn the fairest man.
sions in cur city if they could
realize cent a bushel for the ashes. IL there
no remedy for this,-no way of preventing it
We pay heavy taxes are We to have 10 protec-
ton? The aggregate Of these plunderings
throughout the city daily is immsnse. Who
buys this lead? Who uses it /? Surely busi-
ness so vast and continuous could be easily
traced to its source by ylgiiant police. The
traffic should be summariY stopped. hope
you will cali the attention of the proper author1-
ties to this subject and that other citizens will
join me, through your columns, in insisting that
effective measures shall be instituted to suppress
this crying evil. ".

To The Editor Of the Chicago Tribune:
GENEVA, ILL.,, June 26.-I will tell you "1ittle

Chicago long time ago. After had completed
the harbor contract, l went back to Michigan,
