"rhat Haunting Lie"
THE Journalist


The danger of having matter in type
floating arounds newspaper ofce, when
not intended for publication, was never
more forcibly illustrated than in the
case of the poem, Tear Town that
Haunting Lie, printed in The Tribune
Just before the war. IL attracted uni
veIsal attention and animadverslon.
A well known Abolitionist who had
written the poem had asked that it be
put it type AMI that a few slips be
struck of for his personal use. This
was done, but the type was not distri-
buted, and was left on galley among
other articles.
A few nights afterward as Sam Walt
ers, the night foreman, was making up
the first side of the paper, he found
himself destitute of matter to fill little
space in the form. He measured the
space with string and then searched
the galleys for an article TO I'll it. He
found the poem, Tear Down that
Haunting Lie" The Haunting lie was
the stars and stripes, which the author
cursed, because it tloated over a land
where human slavery was tolerated.
The poem exactly filled the space de.
sired, and the foreman slapped it into
the form About 10000 papers were
printe and distributed before the mis-,
take was discovered. The page of type
was then taken from the press and the
poem lifted out; but ii was long time
before The Tribune recovered from the
shock that its unwilling publication
produced.

The Blossom OF Youth.

hhFtlh VI lll-bltS,
The Irish have the following curious
legend respecting what they call "blaiad
ma oze, in other words, 1.-THE blossom
of youth" An Irishman at one period
went TO Denmark, where he was hospit-
ably received, much to his astonish-
ment. He was taken into immediate
favor by those among whom he visited.
He was told that in a certain part of
the county Of Limerick, from which il
appears be came, there was crock of
gold hidden under white thorn bush
in garden. which was so clearly
pointed out TO him, that there could be
no mistaking the locality. He was
further told that among the gold was a
remarkable circular piece or coin, with
which he should return to Denmark, but
that be might become the possessor of
all the gold in the crock with the ex-
ception of that peculiar circular coin.
The 1rishman was obedient TO the
letter. lie returned to Denmark with
the circular piece, and kept for himself
all but that. The Danes were rejoiced.
A very aged Dane having been rubbed
with the wonderful circular piece of
gold, he AZ once became young again,
fresh and vigorous as in the days of his
boyhood. 20 with other Danes. "You
have brought back" said they, 'the
blaiad ma o'e, the blossom of youth, and
Ireland shall be poor evermore

Malaria AItltndes.
Medic n Journal

While malaria belongs chiefly to low
lying districts. it may, under favorable
conditions exist at great elevations. On
the Tuscan Apennines it is found at a
height of ] 100 feet above sea level; on
the Pyrennees and Mexican CordIleras,
5000 feet; ON the Himalayas, 6,40O
feet; on the island of Ceylon, 6, 500
feet and on the Andes, 1900 feet.
Under ordinary circumstances, however,
a certain moderate altitude affords i'm
munity from malaria. The elevation OF
entire security is not positively known,
but il has been Appropriated as fol-
lows: In Italy, 400 to 500 feet; in Cal
ifornia, 1000; in the Appalachian chain
Of the United states, 5000 feet; in In
dia, 400 feet. In any OF these re-
glons malaria may drift up rayines ia
an indefnable height.
