Leprosy Is Contagious.

That leprosy really is a contagious dis.
ease seems to be pretty well proved by
the documents which the Rev. ii. Z.
Wright communicates 10 The Times. A
Hawaiian convict who was condemned
to death had his life spared on condition
that lie should be inOculatod with leprosy
by way Of experiment. The incubation
took place three years ago, and the I'M
fortunate man, who would surely have
done better to so to the ecaffold, is now
a tubercular leper. The experiment was
perhaps hardly necessary. The fact that
Father Damien has become a leper since
he went to reside in a settlement OF
lepers is surely proof enough that the dis
case is contagious. Now, however, there
IS no longer room for any doubt which
may have been felt upon the matter al
one time. Pail Mall Gazette.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2T.-This holiday

remarkable anniversaries. Two weeks
ago Capt. Isaac Bassett completed the
6ftv-seventh year of his service in the
United States senate. and now ne ceie-
brates his golden wedding. This extra
ordinary career, which bids fair to run
on a decade or two yet, - all the more
notable from tine face that in all these
6fty-seven years mr. Bassett has been
absent from his post In the senate cham
Der but twenty days. Capt. Bassctt Is

the present era. He dates back not only

secured his appointment as a senate

locks and patriarchal beard who sits at

Capt. Bassett carries in his breast a
