I.ARoR ANp lis WAGES

Washington advieeS of the 222d inst.
state that the Secretary of State has
invited the Consular service To report
on the following subjects; First, price
of labor among laborers of all classes:
second, cost Of living Of laboring class
es; third, comparison of the present
cost of living and rates of wages with
that for the last ten years; foruth, the
cost Of produce and its market price;
fifth, the amount of paper money in
circulation, and It's relative value TO
gold and silver, together With its
fluctuations during as many years MS
can be accurately obtained, and the
causes which have produced tluctua-
tioa. The labor and grccnback move
ment III the west, or what is known as
the National party, is agitating oucs-
tions largely involved in these inquiries,
and the Michigan representatives have
shown wisdom III suggesting them to
the department of state. 80 that i'll the
coming campaign the facts may he
placed accurately and intclligcntly be-
fore the people.
THE SILVER DOLLARS.
Since the passage Of the silver bill
there has been but little demand for
the silver dollar, because Secretary
Sherman will not exchange them for
anything but gold There have been
coined Of the new dollar $3.50 ,5SS, and
of these there has been issued only
$423,319.
THE RIVER AND HARBoR BILE,
An attempt will be made tomorrow
to pass the river and harbor bill under
suspension Of the rule.
THE CURRENCY.
Washington adviees of tho DIST inst,
say that II, b. Pullen Cincinnati MGR
chant and author Of loan on finance
has been before the committee
on banking and currency. His
idea is that the only proper money
that should be allowed TO circulate is
that issued by the government, and
that the government prerogative 10 is
sue money applies with much greater
force to paper money than to coin. He
thinks that on that subject tho public
mind has been misled for generations.
The banks, he thinks, might rather be
allowed to issue coin than paper be-
cause the intrinsic value Of coin is near
It's actual value; whereas, the only val
ue Of papermoncy is that passed by the
! government.

lowing:

piled for and obtained license to

Rev. A. w. Wilson was secured 10
perform the marriage service. With
in few hours after the ceremony,
Mr.. Wilson was informed that the

ton Of mothcr-in law to the said d
w. Thompson, he having previously
been married to q now deceased
daughter of Mrs. K. Upon ascert:.in-
ing the facts Nj. w. immediately
wrote q note back to the couple that
under these circumstances the mar
riage was morally and religiously
void. On the following ,lay-yestec-
day-thc law was examined aud
found to prohibit and declare Gin
ccstuous and void marriages betwe ell
parties thus related. or this fact the
parties were also Informed, and we
suppose will themselves conform their

hold' their mutual affections in

State where's such ma: riages are per-
mlitcd. Whether by accident or

left. He and a brother were fishing

Young Kindermnn seeing that hi 5
brother was likely to drown, seized
him by the hair with his teeth and
struck out for shore. He swan with
his left arm, unit boat which had
put out from the shore picked him
up.
The other young knight lives in
Springfield Mass, and attends tn c
high school i'll that city. While
walking the other day, he saw dog
making straight for a five year old
boy who was playing in the street.
he dog apparently was mad, for it
held iIs head low and trothed ut the
mouth.
Stepping at once in front Of the
child the young hero, as soon as the
Dog came up, kicked it ever. hen
throttIipg it with one hand, he poun
ded its head with stick until he kill
eli it..
In the terrible struggle, the dog so
bit him on the wrist us to leave three
tooth marks. These, when the dog
was dead, he cautcrized by coollv
holding Them over the flame Of light
