With view TO ascertainne the character and extent

done and II was found that the result still fell short
OF Democratic demands the returns manipulated
and fal.ified az stated by The Tribune.
We do not know that there is any remedy for these
frauds and even If the law provided one. 1t would be
worthless while the Democrats control the machinery
of the state government. They safe from prose
cuton for any political fraud I'm NewYor are their
brethren in Mississippi. The spirit and methods OF
Democracy arc the same in both states; and probably,
the only hope Of reform Is in III" gradual quckenmg OF

feeling Of indignation among the people that Will lead

Aged At Nineteen Years.


An Important bit Of local history has
been discovered at Salem in connection
with a tombstone in the old Charter
street burying ground. In the utter
most corner Of this ground is a stone
bearing this inscription:
"Mr. Nathan Matfter died October ye
18th, 1858. An aged person that had
seen but niHeteen winters in this world. J"
The meaning of this peculiar inscrip-
ton has long been a matter for conjec-
ture among local historians. In his
american Notebooks" Nathaniel Haw-
thorne refers to it and says: ".An aged
man at nineteen years. saith the grave
stone. 1t affected me deeply when I
cleared away the grass from the half
buried stone ana read the name."
The mystery has been solved by the
discovery in the Essex institute of a
book entitled, .'The Genealogy of the
Mather Family" By this book it ap-
pears that Nathaniel Mather was born
July 6, 1859, and was a Brother of Cotton
Mather and son of Increase Mather.
At the age Of twelts years he had
thoroughly fitted for college, and he was
graduated from Harvard ut the age of
sixteen. At twelve he had read the Old
Testament in Hebrew and The new Tes-
lament in Greek, and was able to con-
verse familiarly in Latin. He was dis
tinguished not only for his complete
mastery of languages, but for his attain
ments in mathematics, philosophy, his
tory. theology and rabbinical learning
as we'll. At the time Of his graduation
he delivered an grafton in Hebrew upon
the state of learning among the Jews

Where Columbus Got HIS Idea.

"h6re COIum Du8 LOT HITS Idea
Medieval Europe knew but very little
of eastern and northeastern Asia. Many
of the most learned cos1nographers of
tho time taught that Asia stretched east
ward indefinitely, and no one imagined
that it had an eastern coast washed by
the ocean. 1t was seriously taught that
eastern Asia was land Of vast swamps,
inhabited by monster serpents and
dragons. This was the opinion that still
prevailed up to within 200 years of the
time of Columbus.
At this time two VefRfian merchants
by the name of Polo went on a vast
trading expedition TO the uttermost
parts of Asia. They were gone many
years. Upon their return the son of one
of them, a young man named Marco
Polo, wrote out a full account Of their
travels, described the empire of the
grand khan (the Chinese emperor) and
revealed the fact that Asia was bounded
ON the east by vast ocean. He de-
scribed this eastern coast minutely.
with all its vast cities and its wealth of
precious stones and spices.
1t was from reading this book that the
imagination of Columbus was fired, and
he conceived the bold conception of
reaching this eastern coast of Asia by
sailing toward the west around the
earth.
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not doubt that he had landed upon the
coast of Asia, and that he looked upon
the same scenes that Marco Polo had
gazed upon 200 years before.-Yankee

The Floating Weeds in the Atlantic.

4no ElOar1ng weeds IN the AGlaHE1c.
The gulf weed (Fucus natansA which,
with its little round "berries," is not un-
like the mistletoe in form, but of a
brownish yellow color, has been thought
to have lost its property Of roofing on
rocks and to have acquired the power OF
living afloat. 1t has even been sug-
gested that the sea marks the site Of a
submerged continent, apparently the
lost Atlantis. DIR. Krunmei holds that
the weed has simply been drifted to its
present position by the Gulf stream and
it's aff1uents from the West Izadian is
lands and the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is now proved that the Gulf stream
is not single narrow ''river of the
ocean," as Maury POLITICALLY described
it, but consists of number of currents,
not only from the Mexican gulf, but the
Antilles. The weed. according to DR..
Krummel, would take fifteen days to
float as far north as the latitude of Cape
Hatteras and five and half months to
reach the Azores. In the Sargasso sea
it becomes heavy and sinks; but the sup
ply is kept up by the Gulf stream.-Lon-

Advice for Young Journalists.

Let him apply to the city editor Of the
paper on which Ay>hopes to get job. If
he can bring a short letter of introduc-
ton it will not hurt him; but he doesn't
need any great wad of recommendations.
He should know what he can do in the
way OF reading and writing English, be
prepared to say how old he is, if he
speaks German or French, or any other
foreign language; if he is in good health,
if he drinks; he doesn't want to be fresh,
nor does he want to be chump. He
wants to get rid of the idea that the
paper needs him, but wants to impress
it on the city editor (not by talking,
however) that he is a good man, and
that If he has had no experiences he will
nevertheless learn. Some papers prefer

Chicken Notes.

An Ohio woman claims to have raised
from eight pullets last year forty-three
chickens and obtained an average of 1S0
eggs from each hen. But that was o
small flock, and the women seem to be
able to average a small flock SO as to
make them more productive than men
can make large flock.
Mr.. Rankin, of North Easton, in an
swer to an article which said that land
would be poisoned by keeping fowl upon
1t too long, says: 81 ana carrying through
the present winter, as breeding stock,
over 800 Light Brah1na fowls, mostly
pullets, and 700 Peking ducks. 1 grew
nearly 1000 Light Brahma chicks last
season on the same ground where have
grown them for seventeen consecutive
years. These chicks were grown mostly
at mortality of less than per cent,
and Inever grew finer ones" He addss
'.If this is the effect of poisoned land l
propose to keep right on poisoning to the
best Of my ability"
Chicken cholera and indigestion have
very similar symptoms in the character
of the discharges from the bowels, but
the fowl with cholera are marked by a
terrible thirst. They seldom live twelve
hours, while those that have indigestion
may live for weeks. The indigestion
may possibly get SO bad as to induce
cholera, If sick fowl are kept too long in
the same yards and hen houses without
o thorough cleaning. To cure it, clean
up thoroughly, give clean gravel and
pure water, adding little of the Douglas
mixture to the latter, and stop all feed
until they are really hungry, then give
only sound whole grain.-American
