HEN misunderstanding to a po-
pular writer il has never been ascer-
tanned when fowls were first domesti-
Gated. There are but few illusions to
them in the Old Testament, We have
abundant evidence of their being quite
common in the days of Aristotle, who
wrote three hundred years before
Christ. He speaks of them as famil-
iarly as naturalist of the present day :;
and many beautiful illusions are made
to the fowl in the New Testament. The
wild origin of the domestic fowls is not
certainly HnOwn. Domestic fowls are
numerous in all temperate climates, but
become less numerous AS you go north.
They were found in abundance on the
islands of the Pacific Ocean, by their
earliest discoverers. Captain Cook
found fowls on islands that had never
been visited by civilized man; and the
xu.y RfGe range over which they were
distributed, pIeelRdss the supposition
of their having been introduced by
Tssman or any earlier VoyagerS.

republican vote of Fairfield it was possible
to defeat the representative chosen by the
people.

other two. 1t was impossible in that distric,
to defeat the candidate whom the people had
chosen, without throwing out both republican
towns. The returns from the three towns
were absolutely correct on their face, and
showed the election of the republican repre-
sentative by clear majority. Searching for
an expedient. it occurred to Mr.. Fogg. and
the other gentlemen of the Council that the
signatures of the three selectmen on the
Webster return and of two of the three on
the Lisbon return might be either forged or
written by the same hand.
To prove this they took no word of evil
dence on paper or by parole. and gave no no
tice to the town officers thus accused of vio-
lating their official duty, to the towns to be
disfranchised, or 10 the representative to be
deprived of his election. The signatures
themselves were so unlike. and the letters so
differently formed. that no expert could hesi-
tate to pronounce them independent sigma
tures. but the district was necessary to give
them majority in the House, and both towns
were struck out As soon as the intelligence
reached the disfranchised towns. the six Sc
!ectmen came in person before the Governor
and Council. three Of them,--and one prom
inent democrat.-driving thirty miles in . fu-
rious storm. and demanded 10 be heard: and
each swore that he signed his name with his
own hand. and saw the others do the same.
Driven from this position. the Governor
and Council still refuse to right the wrong
thus done. and in their report seek shelter
under the claim that either the record or the
return was not made up in open town meet
ing As to the return, all six Of the select
men testified that it was sealed in open town

The comet. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1877-1882, 1880-08-07

To the Editor Of the Comet
Apart from the scientific importance
of DR.. Tanners long fast, there is,
to my mind, a grand significance in
another directions, no less than that
of the confederation of scripture. The
sacred record tells that Jesus Christ
tasted "forty days and forty nights in
the wilderness"
The skeptic and the infidel reject
this testimony on the ground that it
was impossible for a man to live
without food for so long a period.
1t will not do for answer, TO say that
the Goldman was sustained by his
divine nature, because as a man
"bone of our bone and flesh of our
flesh" he tasted. His divinity never
needed food. In his humanity he ate,
drank, tasted, slept, wept, suffered
and died. "For this n body had been
for him."
Dir. Tan ner's long fast of forty days
and forty nights corrobOrates scrip
ture and refutes the skeptic and the
infdel.
Ihaye not seen or heard anywhere
of this point having been noted.
