The Saloon Nuisance.

Anoteworthy contest is just now pend
ing in this city between an enterprising
liquor seller who has fitted up costly
place which he proposes to open as q
liquor-shop, ut Fourteenth street and Uni
versity place, frontiag ON Union Square,
and the Excise Board. which has posi-
lively refused to license it, on the ground
that the place is in neighborhood de-
voted almost exclusively to the sale of dry
goods and other merchandise Of which the
chief purchasers are women, and the es-
Enlistment Of liquor store there would
drive away to other parts of the city the
thousands Of women and children who now
form the greater part of the patrons of
these houses, thus greatly injuring, if not
running their business. The applicant has
taken his case to the courts, demanding a
mandamus to compel the Board of Excise
to grant the license, and has retained Con-
gressman w. Bourke Cochran as counsel.
The business firms occupying the stores in
the nsighborhood and the owners of the
surrounding property have sent numerous
protests to the Board of Excise, request
ing them to maintain their refusal to grant
the license. 1t will be interesting to sec
which, in the end, will prove the strongest,

A decree Of importance has been pub

country. and it will doubtless have great
influence in deciding that portion of the So
loon question which relates to Sunday OBJ
servance. The DEGREES are based on the
action OF the Plenary Council at Baltimore,
and that portion of them relating to the So
loon question is as follows:
Finally, We warn Catholics engaged in
the sale Of intoxicating drinks to consider
seriously oy how many and how great dan

Of sin, their siness-thongh itself not

making living. Let them, at any rate,
strive with all their might to remove oc-
casions of sin as we'll from themselves as
from others. They must not sell drink to
minors; that is to say, to those who have
not become of age, nor to those who they
forssee will abuse it. They must keep
their saloons closed Sunday, and never OIL

man of the General Assembly's Committee
on Temperance, condensed statement Of
the teaching and action of the Presbyterian
Church on the subject of temperance, as
voiced and reafhrmed from time to time by
the General Assembly. We quote the
concluding paragraphs as follows:
"Our church does not presume to dictate
to the state what kind of Temperance or
prohibitory laws shall be enacted or how
they shall be enforced; but as an educator
Of the public conscience, and in the inter-
ests of humanity, she believes that it is her
duty to call to her aid all divinely APP
pointed means and agencies to suppress
this gigantic evil.
"Here, then, is her testimony. reaching
over more than three quarters of q century.
We believe it is as clear, decided, and
emphatic as that of any church in Christ
endom. She was an earnest teacher Of
temperance before there was anything like
Amolsrn temperance society: She gave
her teStimonyan favor ot total abstinence
beforethe present great temperance move
ment was begun. She had fought some of
her hardest Temperance battles, when it
cost something to fight them, before many
who now think she is scarcely abreast with
the times had taken their position in the
line of battle.

front in this great conflict, but she has al.
ways been consistent, and has never taken

No Cxedit to High License.

The new restrictive liquor law of Penn
sylvania is working marvels for temper
ance. From present appearances over half
the saloons in the State will be closed
under it. High license s5has not done it.
1t is the bondsland penalties and other re-
strictive features. 1t was not drawn as q
high-hcense law. The price for licenses
was not thought Of in framing the bill. No
such restrictive bill was everspassed. Ap-
plicants for licenses must be naturalized
citizens, must never have been convicts,
must be sober, law-abiding citizens. and
make oath to it. They must present two
bondsmen with 81, 600 bonds, and no per-

testimony is because there are no higher
grounds to occupy.
"What she now needs is not more testi-

backbone to enable her to live up to her
testimony; ministers who will boldly and
fsarlessly declare the whole truth in rela-
ton to this matter from their pulpits; Office

Antipyrin.

A new drug-obtained by the action
of acetic ether on anilin and called
"antipyrin"-seems to be one of the
most valuable recent additions to the
medical armament. While of great
good as a reducer of temperature in
fevers, it is even more valuable as q
soother of the nervous system, and a
pronounced reliever of pain. Itrelieves
neuralgia, and is the ideal remedy for
nigraine. The periodical nervous
headaches, or so-called "sick-head-
aches" can be prevented or cnt short
by its use. 1t has great advantage
over opium and morphine in that it
does not check the secretions. As q
remedy for the. quieting of paroxys-
NAL coughing in pneumonia, bronchitis,
and hooping-cough it is unrivaled.

Senator ingalls, of Kansas has intro
duced bill, which is now pending in the
United States Senate, to prohibit the i'm
portation Of intoxicating liquors into States
which prohibit their sale. The bill is as
follows:
BE it enacted, etc., That Section of
an act entitled An act to regulate CON-
merce,' approved February 4, A. D. 1857,
be and the same is hereby amended SO as
TO add thereto the following, to wit: Pro-
vided, That any article Of commerce, the
manufacture and sale of which are prohib-
itedwithin any State by the laws thereof,
shall not be transported or conveyed into
such State from any other State, Territory,
or foreign country, by any railroad or 9TH
er common carrier, but this shall not be
held to prohibit the Transportation of such
article Of commerce aforesaid through SUI
State as aforesaid prohibiting the sale and
manufacture thereof to any other State or
Territory"
This amendment, if enacted into law,
would meet the needs of the prohibitory
States, rendered urgent and imperative by
the late decision of the United States Su-
preme Court in the Iowa liquor transporta-
ton case. Congress should be urged by
the friends of temperance everywhere to
pass at once this important interstate COM
merce amendment.

Collie Dogs Saranitr,

The other day MT Nicoll, cattle salesman, Coathbridge, sold at his mart there collie dog, which had recently been transferred from Forfar. The collie was bought by a Coatbridge flesher, and shipped from Glas- gow to a friend at Buncrana, in the north of Ireland. The latter duly acknowledged receipt of the dog, but in day or two wired to Coatbridge that the animal had disap- peared. Soon after the dog entered the shop of the Coatbridge fiesher who had dis patched him, having crossed the Channel again on one of the steamers. The animN was, however, again sent to his new master at Buncrana, but he evidently had no taste for Irish soil, as he was in day or two thereafter again found at the feshers in Coatbridge. The remarkable thing is that the collie should have twice boarded the right boat at the crowded pier at London derry, and shown a greater partiality for Coatbridge than even his old habitation in the North.
