The races now in progress at Lexington,
Kentucky, have developed another
prodigy in the shape Of a FLY, AureOla,
halfsister to HerzOg, owned by B. g.
Thomas, of Lexington. In a twO-mile
heat race on the fourth instant she made
the second twO-mile in-3:354. Bassett's
time in a twO-mile dash, in the Kenner
stakes in 1871, was $3.50. This time is
beaten by AureOla by a quarter of a sec

run two miles in 3:374. This AureOla
has displayed wonderful speed and en-
durance, two qualities that viii make her

Flies are uncomfortable visitors in
summer, especially in a sick ROOM. Il
has been found that they are harmful
also, and may be agents in spreading
contagious diseases. A German Profess
or in Vienna made an experiment to
test the truth Of this theory. Finding
the flies very numerous on the faces Of
bis smallpox patients, he put some
glycerine in a saucer to entangle the
flies. Many Ofthem were caught by the
gelutinOus matter, and soon the. glyeerine
was filled with strange cells like those
on the smallpox patients. The infer
enee was inevitable that the flies COM
munieated the infectious matter to the
gIycerine and could carry contagiOn to
other houses. 1t viii be a new argument
to keep all sick rooms free from these
insects.
Nh. Isaac Rich died recently in Bos-
ton worth nearly two million dollars,
made in the fish business. He used often
TO tell how he climbed the first round in
the ladder to wealth. He was a mere
boy, selling fish from a handcart. Mr..
BOyden, the keeper of the fremont
House in Boston, liking his bright face
and quick business habits, asked him
day why be did not keep salmon.
Il haven't money enough to buy them"
was the answer "HOw much money
will it take?'s Two hundred dollars.

the next salmon boat ia its little dOry,
bargained for the whole load, and when
they questioned his ability to pay, showed
the ready money. He made q hand
some sum by the venture, and s0on paid
back his loan, and began at once the
wholesale business, in which he made
his largefortune
The Metropolitan Record doubtless
expresses the Catholic sentiment here
with in reference to the expulsion Of
the Jesuits from Germany when it says:
''The exiled Jesgits will be scattered
over Europe and America. Many Of
them are coming TO this country, intend-
ing, it is said, 20 found an institution out
West or on the shores Of the Pacific.

In this way Bismarck may be
made an instrument for good. And as
the effort Of expulsion in all probability
will be to send the Catholic youth Of
Germany to other lands for instruction,
Bismarck's policy may lay the founda-
ton Of the prosperity Of many an edu-
c%atiOnal establishment In the old world
and the new.
The tbeater has become as much Of a
political institution in Rome Is it ever
has been in France. The popular plays
Ofto-day are sled with unmeasured
abuse of clergy and Church. They
have suggestive titles: "The Mysteries Of
the SpanishInquistiOn; "'aBeatTice Cen
ci;u 1.-THE M Of CraeoW Buried Alive,H
and 'Mysteries of the Old Police" The
first Of these dramas is q great favOrite.
The whole machinery Of the InquisitiOn
is placed upon the stage. The thumb
screw and the rack are put in operation;
the victims shrink, faint; the inquisi-
tors sit calm and pitiless. The actor
who persOnates T~oTquemada is said to
be in actual dangerOf death at the hands
Of his Infatuated audience, like the man
who played the part Ofan English spy
on the Dublin stage. The Pope has pro-
tested against these plays, but in vain.
