Mr.. Young was managing editor. 1t
reads -" Have an editorial on Grants
letter to Isaac n Morris. of Illinois, in.
Guiding the letter. Il. Gr9eley." 1t has
been asserted in the late camapign that
Mr.. Greeley was not responsible for the
course of the Tribune during the i'm
parchment trial of Andrew johnson, aud
that he wrote none of the articles on that
topic. | was connected with the Washing
ton Office of the Tribune at the time, aud
have now on my table the manuscript OF
an editorial which he wrote, and which
was tclegraphed to the paper in regard
to the vote, which expIodes that story
Mr.. Greeley was always held in the
highest esteem in the office, aud BY none
more so than by the printers. The man

for aught know after, but certainly at
that time, was always preserved by the
proof readers, and given away to curiosity
hunters. | have known men to come to
the office and buy it. which is hardly
surprising, considering the fun that has
been made of his writing all over the
country.
was once thanked by Mr. Greeley
while L was reporter, and the occasion
of it was this : He had gotten into one
OF his numerous quarrels with Mr. Bryant
on the subject OF the tariff. and | was
detailed to visit the New York library
and Gull from the columns of the Ecen
ing Post what that journal had said about
the tariff in 1910 or 1911 | found some
predictions of Mr.. Bryant's that if Ger
tain tailf measure, then pending in Con
gress, was passed, our commerce would
rot at the wharves, and much else OF "a
similar import Altogether | copied
about twenty pages ol fooscap. which
kept Mr.. Greeley going for about two
months. L believe he wrote more than
one hundred articles on that material
from the columns of the Post nearly
thirty years before. Mr.. Greeley sent
for me one day and told me that cit was
! just what he wanted"
A contemporary recently said that Nj
! Greeley was accustomed to write four
columns per day. MIR. Greeley has not
averaged Il column day in the Tribune
Tor the last ten years, and never in one
day wrote four of its present columns
Before it was enlarged in 1866 it was
only about the size of the Philadelphia
Inquirer, and looked somewhat like it
Somew here in his RecoIlections of a
Busy Life" Mr. Greeley rather boastingy
says that he wrote at Que time two col
umns per day, but that was in the early
days OF the Tribune. when it was even
smaller than it was in 1866.

Barnum's Museum Burned.

There were two large fires in New York,
on Tuesday of last week. BY the first,
Barnum's 5 Museum aud Menagerie, Grace
Chapel, and Grote's ivory establishment
were destroyed and several other build
ings were partly destroyed or damaged
The Academy of Music narrowly escaped
destruction. Only two of the animals
were saved The total loss is estimated
at Sl,000000 BY the second FIRE the
whole block on the west side OF centre
street, between Leonard and Crosby. was
laid in ruins, a number of business firms
aud storekepers and many families being
burned out. The loss by this FIRE is esti-
mated at S500000. Two girls and two
men were injured, one Of the men per
haps fatally.

blems which are respectfully submitted
for the solution of those remarkable
American politico economists who profess
to doubt whether Protection does really
protect. Coming from a Free trade source

facturer "a Dir Brassy. has just publish
ed an essay on Nv ork and Wages" en-
bodying the results of his own observation
during the past several years Among
other things he shows that production IN
the United Sta.es is cheaper than 10 Eng
land. because the higher cost OF labor
leads to greater iuventi7eness The iron
masters of this country, he states, are able
to make cast iron wheels that will stand

wrought iron wheels in England can hard

be five times that thickness In the hard
ware trade an American workman can
earn double the wages of an English work
man. but labor saving appliances have
been brought to such perfection that in
twenty five classes OF hardware goods the
United States are able to export largely
TO countries in which the pay of artisans
is hardly more than one fourth of the
wages paid here. Coming Us it does from

The returns for 1850 and 1860, If considered cor
rect, as they we're by many, would losd to dis. dis
paraeing conc1uaions aa to the vigot OF pure
American stock in contrast with that OF several

ent caused q record to be made, as far
as possible, Of the month Of birth Of al chill
dren under year old, and. in addition separat-
ed the period Of from 1 to s into yearly tei3s.
But the additional information thus sought mas
made the problem more complex than ever, and
Gen. Walker placed the figures in tho hands 2 Of
Mr: Elliott, with request that he give the anp .
iect his careful consideration. One OF the hrat
things that strikes the student OF the table OF
birtbs is tha fact that according to the returns,
, 1873-05-04

the number Of persons in the first year Of Life il
| smaller than the number In the second year, and,
in turn, the number in The second year is smaller
than the number IN tie third year Taking the
Tie sges Of and q years is LOSS. .639.
| while tho yearly mean between the ages
Of and s years, is 1,111.812. supposinng
loss By death and emigration is equal to the gain
by birth and immigration, andthat the birth rate
is constant,-su state OF Affairs as these ta-
bles chow would be impossible, and the expert
ence OF other countries proves that what would
necessarily be true Of stationary population is
also true OF fluctuat;ng one like ours. In Eng
land, France, Italy, and Norway, the yearly mean
Of the number OF pere6ns between 0 and years
Of age is rospectivelyt9 10, II, and Il per cent
greater than that Of tpose between the ages Of
and years. Again, the tables show 3 very great
disparity in the mum: lar OF survivors Of those
born during certain nonths OF the consus year, o
disparity that has never been noticed elsewhere,
and which is not acco1nto ID for BY any sufficient
disparity between the numbers born at different
seasons Of thoyear. frhere are two wEys in which
the irregularity Of the data may be adjusted-one
based on the assumption that no actual deficien-
cy in the number OF persons enumerated exists,
but TINT the anomaly ;ariEcs from the erroneous
distribution Of the numbers according to age,
and the other on the assumption TINT consider
able proportion OF those Of younger ages we're
omitted in the enumeration. Mr. Elliott has
adjusted the data furnished him in accordance
| with each of these assumptions, and produced =
series Of tables which, though not as valuable as
they would be were they entirely based On actual
observation, arc the most interesting OF the kind
that havo been prepared in this country. Mathe
matcians will be interested in the explanation
which hr. Elliott appends Of the process by
which he has constructed the adjusted series Of
births.
