A Plagiarism Exposed.

To The EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. The
most brazen faced literary theft is that in the
Journal Of June Goth, in which II. Il. Curlcy
claims to be the author of a poem which he
calls "MaggieS Dream 1t is an old Scotch
song, sung in the Western Highlands long be-
fore Mr.. Albert Grants greatgrandfather was
born. 1t was also published by Oliver Duson
4 Co., ~, Washington St., Boston, in 1893, in
book entitled lone hundred songs of Scot
land" Forty-tve Years ago | used 10 sing thi,
song to amuse my youthful companions on a
long winters evening. We had never seen it
III print. but is one of those heart touching
songs which are handed down from generation
to generation.
According to the writer's recollection it was
published in the Journal about TWENTY-FIVE
years ago by Mr.. William IT, Simpson. then the
editor, with many commentators remarks.
We would say to II. Il. Carlcy there are TOO
many people who claim descent from dear
old Caledonia to be deceived in an old Scot
song. You might perhaps make Us believe
that you wrote the song of solomon, but not
this. The only changes IL. e. Carlev has made
from the original are, substituting for the
source of Dee, Penobscot bay for Sandy, AL
bert; for Mary, Maggie.
Who was the author of the original song is
unknown, but in its present form Mr.. John
Lowe can Justly claim to be its father There

Professor Baird Of the National Museum
Washington, has received from England a
specimen of an aquatic fish eating plant known
as the great bladderwort, which has been dis
covered to be peculiarly destructive to young
fish. The plant il large has no roots, but floats
free in the water, and its leaves bear small
bladders which entrap the fish fry. Twelve or
fifteen species of the plant are found within the
limits of the United States and it abouuds in
the Fish Commission carp ponds in Washing
ton, where it has been heretofore introduced at
considerable labor and expense, having been
heretofore regarded excellent fish food.
Professor Baird will warn carp culturists to
destroy the plant wherever found, rs he be-
lieves that millions of fry must be annually
caught in the little bladder traps.
