In 1870-79, the number 111,300, witn an annual »creag« of 390. The total Increase in lis front cancer In the decade 1850- ... I;in the decade 1860-69 It xv1|t i,40O. snd In the decade from 1870- In 1874, Dr. F»rr remarked that In lugland "cancer, one of the niont pain­ ful diseases to which mankind is sub­ ject, is growing more fatal." The rate «f deaths from this disease In that country from 1873 to 1874 was equal to 413 in every 1,000,0#0 of population. >• In this country the vital statistics of piew York city show that the number ««f deaths from cancer In 1869 was 304, in 187ft was 415 and in 1883 was 678, The estimate was made 10 years ago Ity tlie New York board of health, that the rate of deaths from cancer was but little over 400 per million inhabitants. According to the last reports it is about 539 per million. These figures, Stowever, Include a large hospital mor­ tality. In Brooklyn the deaths from cancer in 1883 were only 262 In a popu­ lation of 634,118, which gave about the same rate as that of New York 10 ye .rs ago. H cannot be denied, in the fact of statistics like the above, that the death rate from cancer la Increasing absolute* ly and relatively in some parts of the world. But that there i 8 a greater •ueceptibillty to sancer than Tormerly Has not yet been proved. Cancer is a disease #f the degenerative period of 'lite. It occurs between the ages of 40 and 60. Now, improved modes of living have increased the number of pereons who reach these ages. Inves­ tigation would show, perhaps, t tat the number of persons reaching the age susceptible to cancer has Increased In a greater ratio than have deaths from the disease. The volley from the *uemy is the same, but the number taoaght to the front is greater. Th« Burning of Colon. A New Orleans gentleman, who was on a British steamer at Colon during tlie recent conflagrations there, says: "The battle raged from eight in the moraiox until one in tlie afternoon. -Daring that time the rifle and artillery lire was incessant. Suddeuly smoke was seen arising from a point Inside of the rebel barricades and as there was a stiong wind blowing, the fire spread rapidly in all directions. Up to this lime the fight was conflued to one por­ tion of the town, but as the fire spread the rebels scattered and soon appeared In the streets. They were fired upon until the fire raged all over town. The fire, in great billows of flames, swept rapidly from street to street and from buildings to tbe dock and wharvA Crowds of women and children could be -BOCD moving from place to place amid the whistling of bullets. Those who managed to escape being shot down in tbe streets sought protection oh board tbe ships in tbe harbor, but a great number of them perished in tlie flames. We also saw," be says, "a large number of civilians who <vere killed by stray bullets before tbey could seek shelter from the leaden ball which swept tbe streets. It would be impos­ sible to estimate tbe number of lives lost in this conflict. The day after tho battle, when the rebels had retreated Into tbe Interior, we vjsited the town and saw tbe streets strewn with dead bodies and the charred remains of those who had been burned to death.'* A FEW FOR THE OSI Of Doss.-- Ib mm (kt tow­ els pently, 2 to 4 Pill*i thoroughly, 4 to 6 Pilla.

A Tough Vara. r An old tailor, who was rather accus­ tomed to draw (he long bow, told the following tale: "Our ship was (or tbe fpaoe of fourteen months becalmed in mld*ocean. During this time wo had not advanced ten miles nearer to the port of oar destination. Our provisions w«r# all gone, and nothing bat starva­ tion appeared in prospect for us. We uad made op our minds that It was all over with us--that starve we must-- wiiea wo encountered a fearful gale of wind. It came so suddenly upon us that we hadn't time to take in a single Mil. The squall striking the ship rolled Iter clean over, the masts going down one side and coming up on the other, stud so quickly did she perform this ^revolution that bo one on board was feyen wotted, ffhea she righted, our kfjtonishment was great at beholding a monstrous dolphin violently kicking, transfixed upon tbe foretepmast, and a fcuge swordfish In a similar condition upon the maintopmast.
