Disease Communicated by Fish.

Fish are subject to the same diseases which prevail among other animals and are thus in the same degree liable to communicate disease to those who par take of them unless so thoroughly cooked that all parasitic germs will be killed. A gentleman who has been making scientific study of the fish in New York harbor finds that among these alone there exists over thirty different kinds of parasites. Epidemics have sometimes prevailed among fish to the extent of killing them in vast numbers so that they were washed upon the shores in great heaps, as of the coast of the Carolinas few years ago.-From a Lecture by Dr. J. H. Kellogg.

Rapid Transit" by H. Wayne Ellis, is the newest musical farce c0medy. It will be presented this season. The managers have engaged the very best available company of comedians. Such names as Steve Maley, w. T. Bryant, Lizzie Richmond, Toty Ducrow and a bevy of pretty girls (dancers and vocal ists1 will combine to make a splendid company. The comedy is replote with comical situations, wit and humor, with some new mechanical tricks of a very novel character.
 One of the most striking scenic effects in Lincoln ]. Carter's Fast Mail" is the passage across the stage of a full sized practical locomotive and tender followed by fourteen freight cars ana an illuminated way car. The effect is made more realistic by the engineer who is seen in the engine cab, and brakeman on top of ono of tho freight cars swinging his lantern. As an il- lustration of how closely the details arc carried out, it is possible to see oven tho switch-bar shake as the wheels of each car strike the switch-rail. It is pro- nounced the best railroad scene yet pro- duced.

Opium Smoking in London.

Some startling facts are brought to light by writer in a recent issue of the Medical Press concerning the increase in the habit of smoking opium in Lon don. A gentleman who had been told that this habit was growing determined to make some inquiries himself. After some time he learned that application for information should be made to certain well-known medical practitioner living in the West End. The gentle mans wife wrote to this practitioner asking information and received in re- ply copy of pamphlet entitled Opium Smoking as Therapeutic Power, According to the Latest Medical Authorities The pamphlet describes in detail the method of preparing and smoking the opium and recites the con- ditions which are said to be specially benefited by taking the drug in this form. The physician who is supposed to be the author of the pamphlet is a confirmed opium smoker and he seems to be actuated with 8 desire to drag others down to the level of his own degradation.

 The Chicago Times says that after the Chicago Philadelphia game of the 30th ult.. in which Anson's colts got decided ly the worst of Lynch's decisions, Anson and Lynch met in the club house and had a littlo spat.
 "Lynch, in my opinion, you roasted us to-day" said Anson.
 "Your opinion don't go great way with me, and don't care what you think" retortcd Umpire Lynch.
 Anson, angered at this, said: "Well, if my word don't go, you'd better pick up your clothes and yourself and get out of here"
 Lynch said that it was not necessary and he did not think Anson could make him get out, Anson having added that if he didn't go he would put him out.
 The matter ended there. Anson aft erward said that if anybody else wanted to throw Lynch out he was thero to pro- teot him, but they could not change his mind about the decisions. Anson says he considers Lynch the best umpire in the business, but last year and this year he has given the Chicago club hard rubs.
