THE POPE TO IRELAND.
He Again Condemns Boycotting and
 the Plan of Campaign.

A papal encyclical letter was read in all the Catholic churches of the diocese of Dublin. In it the Pope says he has heard with regret that excited meetings have been held at which lnconslderate and dangerous opinions regard ing the r,cent Papal decree have been uttered, even the authority of the decree itself being unspared. He has seen with pain forced inter pretations put on the decree, and statements made that 1t was prepa ed without suffi- cicntinquiry having previously been made.
 The Pope, strongly denying this assumption, says that the decree was based upon the most complete information; that previous to its is- suance he held interviews with Irish Bishops on the subject and sent tried and trusted legate to Ireland to inquire into and report on the true condition of affairs.
 His Holiness reiterates his affection for the Irish people, and says he has always urged them to keep within the bounds of justice and right. He refers to communication to Cardi- nal McCabe in 1881, adding:
 '.As the people were led on with gradually increasing vehemence in the pursuit of their desires, and as there were not wanting those who daily famed the flame, the decree became necessity"
 The Bishops, he says, must remove all mis- conception, and leave no room for doubt as to the force of the decree. The whole system of the plan of campaign and boycotting is con- demned as unlawful.
 A letter from Archbishop Welsh of Dublin, which accompanied the Pope's letter, was also read. The Archbishop says:
 'sThe agitation referred to is now ended under the resolutions recently adopted by the Bishops. The hope has arisen within the past few days that before the close of the present session Parliament will provide for the more urgent needs of the hour. The people may await in peace fuller legislation at the next session."
 The encyclical letter is dated Juno 2t. It causes intense dissatisfaction. At Bray peo- pie left the church during the reading of the letter.

Cheerful for the Doctor.

A country doctors life is not overlaid with cider down nor eternally sprinklcd with fresh rose leaves.
 A few weeks ago Dr. Blank was sum- moned at midnight 10 house that stands some distance from any other, i'll rural district near this city. A stable hand had been kicked by horse and lay in critical condition. The doctor flung on his clothes, jumped into a bug gy and drove as fast as he could through rain storm over heavy roads to the house where the injured man lay. He had never been to the house before, but he had heard of its owners predilection for savage dogs and he was not surprised therefore when he drove up to the door to hear baying and barking in several keys within the house.
 After considerable knocking woman came to the door and opened it about an inch to inform the doctor that he'd have to be very careful about entering, for she could hardly keep back the dogs.
 The doctor is plucky man, and re- sisted the strong desire he felt to get back into his buggy. The door was opened enough for him to slide through and he entered dimly lighted hall. In front of him were arranged two large mastiffs, a bulldog and a greyhound, and between him and them stood the woman who had let him in. She was the house. keeper, and she carried in one hand a lamp and in the other thick cudgel.
 As he entered the hall all the dogs plunged for him simultaneously, but the housekeeper laid about her with the club and the animals retreated, bowling savagely. He went upstairs at once to the room where the patient lay, and the housekeeper fought with the dogs all the way mp, but succeeded in protecting the doctor.
 Coming down afterwards the house keeper had the same difficulty with the dogs, and, as the doctor sprang into the carriage, the bulldog made rush fo1 him and planted his teeth in the doctors trousers. The garments were luckily of cheap and poor material, and the leg which was in the dogs mouth gave way.
 The doctor was glad to get off sc cheaply, and the bulldog, he thinks, was disgusteda at his investment in an inferior grade of cloth.
 And the best of it is that the operation he performed at the risk of being torn to pieces by pack of hounds will never bring cent to the doctor. The mis erly owner of the dogs simply declines to pay, though the doctor was called by his orders.

THE EMPEROR'S TRIP.
The Finest Spectacle Ever Seen in
 German Waters.

Emperor Williams departure from Kiel pre- sented & spectacle splendid beyond anything ever before witnessed on the German seas. The town and harbor were uniquely decorated. The rout from the station to the harbor was lined with masts covered with oak leaves and adorned with weapons and banners. The Ger man, Prussian and Holstein colors were con- spicuous. Triumphal arches and floral dec- orations, in which naval designs predominated, entirely transformed the aspect of the old town.
 The Emperor drove slowly toward the har- bor, giving, as he went, special greetings to the guilds and corporations which lined the streets. The yacht Hohenzollern was moored at Diepen- brook, at the outer end of the harbor. A man. of-wars boot conveyed the Emperor to the yacht. His Majesty was received by Prince Henry, Vice-Admiral Blanc, Chief of the Baltic Station, and Admiral Monts. The squadron was composed of the ironclads Baden, Bavaria, Frederick the Great, Kaiser, and Zieten, and the frigates Prince Adalbert, Gueisena, and Won Moltke, with part of the torpedo 1otilla. It then sailed past the imperial yacht in splen- did order, and with perfect precision the man euvres commanding great admiration.
 Shortly after, the imperial yacht put to sea, escorted by the torpedo lotilla and the iron clsds. number of private steamers accom- panied the fleet for several miles. Kiel is crowded with visitors and held high carnival tonight. During the four days voyage to Peterhof the squadron will execute 8 number of fman9uvres.

An American Duchess.

The American Duchess, is the name which London has already bestowed on His Grace of Marlborough's bride. There is great curiosity about her, her appear ance, her fortune, her family, her future and her relations to her husbands fami- ly. On the latter point all doubts are put at rest by the dowager Duchess of Marlborough, who approved of the match from the first and who announces that they will come to her house in Gros- venor Square for the first week or two of their stay in London. That disposes of the social question. The position of the Dukes mos sher is such that her support will insure the new Duchess a good reception. Anybody with e80,0O0 a year will have 8 good reception ill Lon don," growled one elderly cynic. That is not quite so, as at least one recent ex- ample shows. But lady who enters London society, backed by the Marlbor- ough family, which includes the Dowag- CT Duchess and Lady Curzon and Lady Randolph Churchill, has little to fear. The American has bought Earl Brown lows mansion in Carlton House Terrace, which she and her husband will present. ly occupy.-London Despatch.

How the House Flies Winter.

The Wilmington, (Ns O. Messenger says:-Some one has asked, where do flies go in winter9 This is question of some interest, for house fly is born fully grown and of mature size, and there are no little flies of the same species, the small ones occasionally ob- served being different in kind from the large ones. The house fly does not bite or pierce the skin, but gathers it's food by a comb or rake or brush-,ike tongue, with which it is able to scrasoe the var nish from covers of books, and 1t thus tickles the skin of persons upon whom it alights to feed upon the precipitation. A fly is a scavenger, and is 8 vehicle by which contagious diseases are spread. It poisons wounds and may carry deadly virus from decaying organic matter into food. It retires from the sight at the beginning of winter, but where it goes few persons know. If search of the houso be made they will be found in great numbers secreted i'll warm plac es in the roof or between the partitions or floors. Last winter we had occasion to examine roof, and found around the chimney myriads of flies hibernating comfortably, and sufficiently lively to fly when disturbed Gin overpowering g clouds" No doubt this is a favorits winter resort for these creatures.

HIS LONG FAST BROKEN.
Partakes of Food After an Absti.
 ncnce of Fifty-three Days.

After 6fty-three days of alleged fasting John Zacher, of Racine, Wis, has been induced to partake of food. A quarrel with his father over wag g, or the distribution of an estate in- duced him to starve himself.
 The arrangement between the two was conl- plete. During the entire fast the father never visited his son or inquired after his health Yesterday the father called on the faster, and they agreed to settle matters, when he took 8 few spoonfuls of milk and some milk with pull verized crackers in it.
 During his fast Zacher has been reduced from 1SO to 90 pounds. His eyes are dull and heavy, the lips dropping as if he had no strength to hold them up, and his bones pro- trude prominently through the skin, which is dry and parched. Physicians believe he will regain his former strength and weight.

THE CAPE TOWN HORROR.
Particulars of the Terrible Cata
 strOphc in a Mine.

A despatch from Cape Town says that the Debecrs mine, in Kimberly, the scene of the recent fire has been explored by party of searchers. Twenty-four whites and ZOO natives were found to have been burned to death.
 Forty-three whites and 400 natives were res- cued from the mine.
 The cause of the te rible calamity was as follows: While the shifts were being changed the hauling wire broke, and the skip rushed down the shaft with frightful rapidity. The oil lamps were brokeu, and tho blazing fluid quickly ignited the wooden casing of the shaft. James in great volumes shot up the shaft, completely preventing esress. The mine was soon filled with smoke and the lights carried by the miners were rendered useless. The ranic-stricken natives and whites, in their efforts to escape, became massed together in the galleries and were suffocated to death. The rescuers wh, subsequently, explored the mines were compelled to use dynamite to clear the passages of corpses. It is believed that 300 lives were lost by the disaster. The dam- ago to the mine is estimated at Sl0O.00O.

Boulanger's attack was particularly fierce and pertinacious. Each man touched his antagon- ist in this encounter, Gen. Boulanger slightly wounding NJ. Flcquet in the right hand and received himself wound in the leg. At sight of the blood on NJ. Floquet's hand the seconds interfered, suggested that honor had been satisfied and recommended a cessation of hostilities. The proposition was hotly rejected by both men, and after second rest, during which NJ. Floquet's wounded but not disabled sword hand was bound, the third encounter was begun.
 In this Gen. Boulanger tried hard to kill NJ. Floquet finging himself upon him again and again. He made lunge at NJ. Floquet's left breast. but only slightly touched the mark. Gen. Boulanger then received a wound in the throat, which put an end to the encounter The wound was a severe one, but on account of hemorrhage the doctors were at once unable to decide whether it was likely to prove serious. NJ. Floquet received scratches on his hand, chest and foot.
 The seconds have made formal report, in which they state that Gen. Boulanger received serious wound in the neck.
 NJ. Floquet's colleagues in the Ministry were waiting at his house for news of the duel, and were overjoyed to see the Prime Minister re- turn safe. He was given an ovation.
