A Mad Dog in Church.

Last evening during the service at St.
Dominick's Church, on State Street, a
large black dog was seen to enter and
walk up one of the aisles. He was
frothing at the mouth, and some one
fearing he was mad attempted to drive
him out, but without effect After snap
ping at several and creating quite an
excitement, the animal lay down, but
just rs the service was closing arose and
began to walk among the terrified peo-
pie. One man was bitten slightly on
the back of the hand in trying to put
him out. and little diild In going out
of church was badly bitten. The dog
at last retired TO the entry-way off the
altar, and an officer was sent for to dis
pose of the animal, which he did after
firing several shots.-Portland (Me.)

PUDDLERS WAGES. The present rate Of
puddlers wages IN the North 81 England WYNN
IS. By per ton. which is equivalent to
Sl.Y gold, or 81. lS currency-is the low
est that has prevailed there for more than
ten years, except for short period, when
So. were paid. Yet, under the free trade
system Of England, this is not low enough,
and the puddlers have received notice from
their employers Of termination Of the
present rate # wages at the end of the
year, with a view to reduction. Puddlers
III PIttsburg receive 50 per ton, one third
Of which, $l.61, goes to the helper. leav-
ing the puddlers net pay per ton 50 80
The English puddler pays his helper by
the day, but the proportion is nearly tn
the same as that paid by the American
puddler, namely, one-third, winch would
leave his net pay about .46 per ton, OF
81 81 less than that received by his Pitts
burg brother. In the face Of such facts AZ
this, free traders have the hardlhOod to
say that a tariff on imports rohs the la

motives, is true I; but where are the bodies,
~ ancient or modern times, that have not
boon subject to the same or similar influ-
ence. Yet, when We come to consider that
against these institutions the wealth, pow
er aud influence of the country have been
directed, added to which, was the timidity,
weakness, ignorance and selhshness of the
uueducatcd masses, we can readily under
stand that their existence to-day is an in
disputable evidence of their superiority,
and an assurance that they have the ability
to accomplish the great missionary work
allotted to them. They have passed the
great ordeal, and come out unscathed.
They are reformatory schools of the
ground work Of reformation and labor
emancipation which is now going on; they
are the grand center from which the Cos
pei Of labor reform is TO be preached, and
the faith prOpagated. From these schools
the great crusaders must come forth, and,
in the great battle which is yet unfought,
they must be the fountains from which
the waters OF life must flow.
To the contamination of this end We
must bend all our efforts we must set
about organization at once, the evils of the
past must positively be avoided, the rocks
upon which We have heretofore been
wrecked we must carefully steer by, and
place at the helm pilots whom we know
will carry us into trusty harbor, where
we can cast anchor and furl our sails for

THE DOUBLE STANDARD.

We have frequently referred to the ad-
vantages to be conferred from a national
standpoint by the adoption of the double
standard" Of gold and silver as full legal
tender. We have proven, time and again,
the fluctuating character of gold-that it
can be as easily cornered as wheat, and
that, under the exclusive gold legal tender
system, when gold is cornered the money
market is cornered; but the adoption of the
double standard system necessitates that
gold and silver must be cornered at the
same time to control the money market,
making such a task much more difficult, if
not impossible. In the London Times of
November "a, is long and exhaustive ar
ticle, substantially admitting all this, from
which we make the following brief quota
tation
''If the prices of silver had fallen in
consequence Of its excessive amount the
effect would have been distinctly traceable
in the general rise Of silver prices in India
while silver was deprecisting. But in a
letter to the Times Of September 8, this is
distinctly asserted not to be the case,
while on the other hand it is asserted that
in London gold prices of Indian imports
have fallen in consequence Of the increas-
ing purchasing power of gold"
Following which il states this fall to
have been 10 per cent, and that the av-
erage gold prices for silver had deprecated
during the same time 7 per cent. Hence
We have both the proof and admission even
from the English Thunderer that GOLD
rose, and that it is a much more uncertain
measure Of value, 50 far as it is posi-
BILE to have measure of value, than silver.
But as either alone can be cornered, and
thereby controlled for the purpose Of rob
blng the community, by accepting both as
legal tender, and thereby making the
market too large to be cornered or con
trolled, We possess ourselves Of the great
advantages which have made France one
of the most. if not the most, prosper
GUS nations on the face of the globe, her
marvellous prosperity being largely due to
the fact that since the revolution, under
all forms OF government, the French
people have chung to the double standard
system in finance

Kansas and Nebraska Corn.

The corn now coming to the market from
these States Is magnificent in quality,
though it is little too fresh and liable
to become heated when stored. Where
corn Is poor. shriveled up, and easily
dried, it may be successfully shelled nj
the fall; but where it is as plump and
juicy As the corn now imported frsln
Nebraska and Kansas, it should be allowed
to dry on the stalk Even if it escapes
being heated. it does not possesAAbe same
rich flavor as corn allowed 70 dry
IN the field, any more than a peach or
orange plucked in an unripe state, and
allowed to mellow afterward, possesses the
flavor Of the ripened peach or orange
eaten directly from the tree.
