Hugh jackson Grant.

The relation which HUGH JACKSON GRANT,
Democratic candidate for Mayor of New
York, bears to the politics of this city is not
dissimilar from that borne long, ably, hon
oraby, and successfully by the late CARTER
HARRISON TO the politics Of the city OF Chi
Agp II is exceptional. and is well worth
considering.
In October, 1882, twelve years ago, HuoH
j. GRANT was nominated by Tammany Hall
for the Office OF Alderman in the Nineteenth
district, at that time, to some extent, under
the spell Of one Of those perennial reform
movements which occur In New York in
every year in which there is Mayoralty
election. There were two Democratic can
ddItss in the field for Alderman, but Mr..
GRANT, first among them, wss elected. He
took Office on Jan. l, 1888.
In October, 1888, Alderman GRANT was
candidate for reelection on the TammanY
Han ticket, and, though the Tammany AS
ssmblyman suffered defeat, GRANT ran 900
votes ahead of his ticket, was successful, and
became member OF the " Doodle Board, i" so
called. 1t is the destiny of all lucky men, in
politics as In business, TO gain their greatest
triumphs through apparent reyerses which

imprisonment. expatristion, oblOquy, and
injury TO a majority OF the Aldermen, was
the foundation stone of Mr.. GRANTS civic
career. He voted against the Broadway
railroad franchise, and came out OF the
Board honored and unscathed.
In October, 1854, Mr., GRANT was nomi-
mated for the Office Of Mayor of New York
by TammAny Hall, which has always hon
Ored him, and ran against odds which few
men would have eOurted- The opponents OF
Pammany were practically in possession
Of all the municipal department, and Of
the patronage attaching The opponents
OF Tsmmany having rsnominated ali
the Doodle Aldermen, 80 called, and
TAmTnAny having refused to do this, large
corruption fund was thrown into the cam
paign against Mr.. GRANT. The Democratic
National Committee was against Tam
many. The Democratic State Commit
tee was against Tammany. The re-
sources Of both were used in the interest
OF Tammany's opponents And yet

Discovery of Old Manuscripts Written by q
Danish AstrOloger Centuries Ago.
Some old manuscripts have just been
discovered in San Francisco of wonder
full Importance. These manuscripts
are the production of one Peter Han
sen, a noted Danish astrologer, who
lived through the end of the sixteenth
and beginning of the seventeenth GEN.
turtles. He was a contemporary and
correspondent of Johann Kepler, the
great German astronomer, Basil and
other learned men of that time. He
was also a nephew and pupil of the
celebrated Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe, and lived in Copenhagen in the
years 1894 to 1912. The discovered
Hansen manuscripts are in possession
of a descendant, Olaf Linnberg, who,
however, knew nothing of their nature,
although believing them of great i'm
portance. Mr.. Christian Andersen, an
accomplished Danish scholar, has ex-
amined these old papers and found
wonders in them.
Part of these manuscripts are of the
greatest Importance to the American
people at the present time. But first ID
will be well to show the value of these
calculations and predictions. The great
plague of 1664-1GG5 is clearly foretold,
with cumulative disaster on London,
indicating the great fire more than
half a century in advance. Lilly Dor
rowed from this. The French revolu-
ton and the rise and fall of Napoleon

precision in the designation of years.
These are accompanied by charts and
diagrams, apparently of terrestrial and
celestial combination. On one Of these
charts is a heavy line from the French
frontier of Moscow. The fall of Ma
poleOn is told with the force of Ian
guagc of a prophet. 1t says:
"Ihe cOnqucrOr shall become naughty
and dcspotic, drunken with ambition,
leading his victorious hosts through
fire and blood as glutton rcvels at
feast Then shall he penetrate the
north for new cOnQuests, passing be-
yOnd the lines of his suspicious star,
and two stars of evil omen confront
him. His victorious banner shall wither
like dry twigs in blast of fire. He
shall stagger back before a hurricane
of destruction, tattered, bleeding and
torn, and fall PROSTATE to the earth.
Yet shall he rise again, in the furious
agony of dying giant, to sink forever,
as choking in a sea of blood"
Among the other predictions in these
old documents are the destruction of
Lisbon by earthquake, the extinction
of the papal temporal power, the
Franco-German conflict and other great
natural and political commissions.

Remarkable Feat Accomplished by a

r Prof. Gamers achievement in dis
covering some of the elements of the
monkey language would appear, to the
unscientific mind at least, to be far less
difficult than the feat accomplished at
Stuttgart in the geological gardens of
M. Mil, where the proprietor has made
most encouraging progress toward
teaching couple of chimpanzees to
write. When he for the first time
showed them the use of a lead pencil
they seemed to grasp his idea at once,
and with the utmost gravity covered
the paper with strokes and lines. They
were intensely interested, and seemed
to know that there was some mystery
about writing. Their way of holding
the pencil was as rational as that Of
most little children, and they seemed
to delight in showing NJ. Mil their
work. The accompanying picture is
taken from an instantaneous photo

bolt. 1t was to have been called the
Lazare Carnot, after his great-grand-
father.
The hull Of the Carnot is composed
of two parallel walls, dovetailed into
each other without break as farup as
the armored plate. The double hull is
divided lengthwise by seven partitions;
1t has five longitudinal bull1heads and
eighteen transverse bulkheads.
There are three decks, the armored
deck, the gun deck and the main deck.
The armOred hurricane deck is con-
structed of a double thickness of sheet
iron 40 of an inch thick, and covered
with armOr inches thick. The length
of the vessel between perpendiculars is
1914 feet; it's breadth SO feet.
The armament of the Carnot will
consist of two twelve-inch guns In the
forward and central turrets of the YES
sci, two turretS for the ten and half
inch guns, eight turrets, four on either
side, for the five and half-inch long
range guns, and six rapid-flre guns on
the upper decks. The turrets are pro-
tected by armor sixteen inches thick.
The exterior armOr will rest on back

CAMPAIGN SPEAKING.
Mrs. Sara Neville and Her Contract with q

a consolation for her to be able to in
fuence the voting of men; and just
there is where new woman's field has
been discovered. Mrs. Mary E. Lease
has been in it and has gamboled about
1t, and she seems to think it is good
fun. Another woman is to become a
stump speaker, more from an aesthetic
point of view. Mrs. Sarah Neville is
her name, and she lives at lat West
Thirty-fifth street, New York. She is
young and handsome, has been an
actress and has remarkable voice.
In spectacular play IN New York in
which Mrs. Neville had the only speak
ing part, she was heard distinctly, says
the New York Sun, throughout a vast
amphitheater containing Il, 900 people.
1t was a voice sonOrous and ringing
and to many of the people used to hear

speakers it was a revelation. 1t was

PLAGUE AMONG FLIES.
Fungus Growth That Kills Them on Rap
Idly in the Autumn.

About this time of the year the
housewife who has been pestered with
house flies will begin to find their
bodies sticking to walls and other
places, and surrounded by a white
halOlike powder. A favorite place for
the flies to die upon is a window pane,
and upon the glass the peculiar char
acter of their surroundings may be
plainly seen.
Placed under a microscope of moder-
ate power, the cause of the death of
the flies can be plainly distinguished.
1t is caused by a fungous growth
which begins in the tissues of
the insect, somewhat like cancer, and
finally pushes through the skin and
goes through a sort Of blossOming,
producing spores by which it is further
proDagatcd.
Other insects are attacked by related
Frowlhs. Grasehoppors are particular
~ subject TO such attacks, and the

by prominent scientists. Brchm has
cultivated the society Of chimpanzcs
for several years, and says: This ape
cannot be treated as an animal. lie is
an animal, no doubt, yet he shows so
many human traits that one forgcts
the beast. His body is animal, to be
sure, but his mind is that of an unciv-
ilized man. The chimpanzee- initiates
after the manner Of a man. If only
his hand were as flexible as the human
hand he could learn to do many things
which only man can do" The West
African tribes have a legend that the
chimpanzees once belonged to their
communities, but that they were ex-
PEELED for bad behavior, and gradually
sank to their present low level.

Priests Can Ride Wheels.

An appeal to the pope from Germany
to determine whether or not it was
proper for Catholic clergy to ride BIZ
cycles resulted in the decision that
priests might ride wheels in the service
of the church-notably when called to
make hurried visits upon parishioners,
or to administer the last sacrament to
the dying. In his letter on this subject
to the bishops he recalls the fact that

plant that kills them is known as the
grasshopper fungus. That which at
tacks the fly is called Eupasa musca.
1t is a plant of simple organization,
and is apparently related to the black
molds About forty related species
are recognized. This one consists of
short tubular threads. These push
through the skin of the fly and produce
the spores near their tips. When this
happens the fly's body swells up, and
he fastens himself somewhere to die.
Vast number of flies are killed by
this fungus every year, particularly in
the autumn. The marks they leave are
great annoyance to neat housekeep-
ers.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

A fire damp explosion occurred
in the Albion coal mine, in Wales,
last week, killing two hundred
and fifty miners. And yet, this
calamity, sweeping and sorrow
full as it certainly is, does not af
feet the public SO keenly or in
tensely, nor seem SC difficult to
reconcile with the philosophy OF
fate, as the wanton and wholly
unprovoked assassination OF
President Carnot. The one is a
calamity appealing to the human
sympathies-profoundly to be
sure, and with regret, but moth
ing more. The other shocks the
sense with the horror consequent
upon the occurrence Of what is
both a crime and a calamity, and
hence whelms the gentleness OF
sympathy in a torrent of indig-
nation and a realization of afro
cious outrage.
The tragedy of the mine, in
which so many humble toilers
persisted, will be forgotten by
the world, in the excitements OF
a day; not so the tragedy of the
taking-off of the one man, Carnot.
He was a man equipped for the
highest forms and functions of
usefulness and honor, and was
standing at the head of a great
nation whose destinies, in a large
measure, had been committed to
his care and keeping. The blow,
therefore, that struck him down
was, in a sense a blow at the ma
ton of which he was the chosen
representative and head. Hence.
the French orator might say OF
the assassination of Carnot, as
Antony said Of Caesars, 'then
you and land all US fell down.
While, as we have said, the event
of the mine will be forgotten al
most with the passing day, not
SO the tragedy enacted on the
street of Lyons. The memory
of Carnot will be perpetuated IL
honor by his countrymen, ano
his tragic end remembered ano
recalled as a public sorrow ano
public loss.
Whether it be right Or wrong.
just Or unjust, that the death o.
one man should, because Of diff
ference in station, be esteemed
greater loss and more of a calam
ity, than the death Of two hun
dred and fifty men, is not for u:
to say. We may add, however
that Carrots place in France
will be filed more readily THAI
will those of the miners be il
Wales, while the loss of the lat
ter will occasion infinitely thu
more of personal suffering AM
distress.
