MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

THR MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE INSURANCE Co.
The summary of the business of this Company
for the 27 years of its existence, given in an
other column, is certainly worthy of the care
fuI attention of every man, who has even the
smallest interest in this important subject.

apply to the purchase of their Life Insurance,
the same common sense principles, that they do
to their ordinary business Transactions; ad-
mission to company that can show such
record as this, will be as eagerly sought, as
shrewd and careful men now seek for the safest
and best paying bonds and securities 1t will
then be true, too, that the whole horde of third
and fourth rate companies will no longer be
able to support an army of canvassers at an
e1orbitant expense to press their victims blind
fold into companies paying 25 or even 20 per
cent. of their entire income for running ex-
penses. Why intelligent men should be so
careful to discriminate in reference to the real
character of the bonds, stocks or other secur-
ties in which they invest, and at the same time
pay 20 per cent. more for their Life Insurance,
than the Mutual Benefit and the two or three
others of its class have actually been furnish
ing it for, during the past % years, is indeed
one of the unsolved problems of this progress

The Butler Fracas.
LONDON, July 17.-Mail advices from Alex

the affray between Consul Butler and the Khe-
dives American officers Butler, his Secretary
Wadleigh, and an attache of the Consulate
named Strologo, were dining at Greek restau-
raunt. There were also there officers Loring,
Reynolds and Campbell As they were leaving
Loring and Reynolds salutee Butler, but Camp
bell passed on without recognizing him. But
Ter shouted after him, "GOod evening Major
Campbell" Campbell retraced his steps and
high words and blows ensued. The whole party
then went into the street where Wadleigh fired
several shots at Campbell, wounding him dam
gerously. Reynolds then fired at Wadleigh
but without effect. The difficulty is reported to
have grown out of a long standing emnity be-
tween Butler and Campbell. Persons recently
arrived from Alexandria state that they saw
Butler, Wadeigh Campbell Loring and 9th

A curious and perhaps important discovery
has been made recently by M. Kletzinsky, a
Vennese professor. Noticing that persons sick
with the smallpox were often visited by flies,
he placed near an open window of the hospital
saucer filled with glycerine. Soon the flies
gathered and were caught like birds with glue.
In their endeavors to free themselves, all the
foreign matter which had adhered to them was
left in the glycerine, which was at once submit
ted to the action of a microscope. 1t was found
that this substance, which was chemically pure
when offered to the flies, was full of strange
cells very like those seen on persons attacked
by the smallpox, but never on flies. This dis
covery proves conclusively that these parasite
cal insects are not only filthy, but can be very
dangerous means of spreading contagious dis
eases.
