FLY's DEATH EXPLAINED.

" How comes this dead fly in my

Monsieur replied the waiter, i
cannot tell you. Perhaps the fly had
not eaten for many days, and, throw
ing itself ravenously on the CONSCIOUS,
fed with too great heartiness, thereby
contracting an inflammation of the sto-
mach severe enough to cause death.
The poor little thing can never have

PORT JARVIS, N. Y, August IA
remarkable cure of cancer has been
effected on Mrs. Wilhelmina LodwIg, a
farmers wife.
Mrs. Lodwig has suffered from a
cancer on the left leg just above the
knee for a long time.
While out picking huckleberries two
weeks ago she was bitten on the ankle
by rattlesnal1es Her nephew. Karl
Lodwig, came to her assistance and
killed three rattlesnakes.
The woman's leg had swelled to an
enormous size, but the swelling did not
go above the cancer.
The cancer, which had always had
the appearance of ink, fringed with
red, turned into a running sore.
1t remained in this condition for four
days. On the fourth day the discharge
stopped and proud flesh began to make
its appearance. The snake poison had
worked all through the cancer, the
swelling disappeared, and the hereto
fore ugly looking cancer began to heal
and turned to a healthy flesh color.
Last Thursday the wound began to
heal and yesterday Mrs. Lodwig was
in town. almost cured.

An eel dating from revolutionary

Washington and his army, on their
way to Middletown, tramped in little
stream which then coursed from the
hills to Tony's brook and which is now
degraded to the uses of a sewer. La
borers were cleaning the accumulated
mud of ages from the stream where it
runs through Hugh d. Kings lands, on
Washington street, between Clinton
and Thomas streets. And there they
found the gigantic eel.

laborers, as the eel thrashed about with
it's tail, and knocked out Jose Phellpi-
nos front teeth. The worlmen kill
ed the eel with their spades; it proved
to be quite a historical museum or
aquarium, if you please. The most in
teresting article in it's midst was a
silver spoon. No, the initials &c. W."
were not engraved on it, but the spoon
is of purest colonial pattern. Besides,
the eel contained several large old
copper cents and lead bullet, which
seems to have been used as a fishline

thing but a musket of '76.-New York

END OF A LONG STRUGGLE IN
ENGLAND.

One OF tho most remarkable strus
giles in modern history is ended with
the assurance that tho deceased
wife's sister bill. 80 called. will be
come n law of the realm. For more
than 10 years the agitation In favor
OF the bill has been carried on. TO
tho mD-British mind thero Is nothing
very appalling about man marrying
the sister OF his deceased wife, yet
for nearly three quarters OF cen
fury that demand has been refused
Notwithstanding that severe hard
ships followed the operation of the
law prohibiting marriage OF such re
latlons.
The rule Is said to have come Into
tho Church of England with the
much-mnrried Henry the Eighth, who
instituted 1t for his own convenience.
But many Angellcans have come to
regard 1t as an article OF faith. The
struggle to repeal tho inhibition ms
n law of England has lasted two
generations and has been exceedingly
bitter. Men who favored the change
have been denounced as immoral Two
able and pious men have just been
fighting to tho last ditch against the
change-the Archbishop of Cantor
bury in the House of Lords and Lord
Robert Cecil son OF the late Mar
quis of Salisbury, In the House OF
Commons. For the second time with
in history the repeal bill has got
through the House OF Lords, and as
(for the first time In history 1t is
government measure, there is no
doubt of its becoming law.
The fight all these years has been
led by the Church OF England which
does not regard marriage as scra
ment, but which has canon prohibl
ting man from marrying his dead
wlfes sister. and as the Established
church, has made this the law in
England. The Angelcans have been
almost alone In prohibiting such mar
