Mr. Greeley was the hole proprietor of

three months lie associated with him
Thomas McElrsth as a partner ana
business manager. About fifteen thou
sand copies were then being circulated
find the success of the venture was as- -sured.
It had started as a penny pa
fr. bat at the beginning' of its second ;
your lite price was raisea w wu wuw, i
'and the weekly receipts supplied a con
stantly increasing; surplus over expen
ditures. In these earliest years three
- other notable men, In addition to Mr.
tirceley and Mr. Raymond, were at
tached to the enterprise. One of these
was Bayard Taylor, another Charles A.
Dana and the third George Jones. Mr.
' Taylor and Mr. Dana were employed in
the editorial rooms, and Mr. Jones sold
papers over the counter. The cam
paign of 184 brought the Tribune into
the full measure of public favor. Mr.
Greeley loved Henry Clay as a man and
r-.dmired hint beyond comparison, as a
statesman. Ko one of the vast army of
Mr. Clay's ardent champions worked
with such seal and devotion as the
editor of the Tribune. Personally and
through the
paper he argued ana

his g, and bitternesa in the hour of ,
his own defeat, twenty-eignt years
later, were so keen nd deep as the ;
. , H.or, uiha
sorrow with which he announced to
his readers the overwhelming defeat of ;
n.. n. F, that Zmentthe
hattcrieB of the Tribune were turned i
upon the slaveholders and the abolition
KITitators in almost equal degree. Ita
fxed policy was the mentmcation or
the whig party with the cause of
i'-ccdom. The Polk administration
was opposed with Bturdiness and
vigor. The annexation of Texas
end the Mexican war brought
i. nt a steady fire of protest, and if as
r.rojects they were not- beaten, eertain
ly they were shorn of their worst ambi
tions, and their worstmsults were pre
venti. During- this period of the
0 rilmna's history, from the democratic
triumph of 1644 to the whig victory of
1840, it took its place as the leading
American newspaper. It was filled
v ith great achievements. Mr. Dana
has managing editor, and Its newB de
partment was remarkably interesting
. nod complete. Mr. Taylor was supply
in? his famous letters from Germany,
fietence, social philosophy and commer
cial affairs were handled with marvelous
shilL and already the paper had won its
way into the affections of thoughtral
end patriotic people. It was during ;
this time that Fanny Fern wrote an il- ;
lr-strntive account of the attitude held '
toward it by all sorts and kinds of the
population. She had sent out for a
copy, out ner messenger nad returned
without it The news-stand supplies
were exhausted. So she undertook to :
find one herself, and, coming presently
upon "an old huckster man," seated
under a huge, faded umbrella in the
sun, she asked if he had a Tribune.
"No, ma'am,n he said, decidedly, i
And then, as the authoress told it, this
conversation ensued: .
,4iVhy,yes yon have!' said I, laying
my hand on the desired number.
'Well, yon can't have that, ma'am.'
he replied, 'for I haven't read it my
self.' . 1
" "But IH give you three cents for it!'
"'Nop!' v: -
:r
" Ten!'
" "So; yon couldn't get it for one dol
lar. It's the only eopy I've got left,
and I wont sell it till I've had the
chance to read it through myself !'
"Yon should have seen," said Fanny
Fern, concluding, "the shapeless hat,,
the mosaic coat, the tattered vest and
the amazing trousers that were edu
cated up to that Tribune."
This sight was not a rare one as the
years went on. The Tribune was a
class paper, but the class was not de
termined by the kind of clothes people
wore or the amount of money they
could command. Brains and conscience
were the qualities to which the Tribune
appealed, end wherever they .lived it
found a home. ; ,

Attempts have been made, not with
out success, to form minerals, says
Prof. Crooker in the Forum. Artificial

ventor the p-ocess is so difficult and so
dangerous that the diamond miner and
the diamond merchant need not feel
nneasy. The ruby and the sapphire
have lately been reproduced in Paris,
and curiously enough the coloring mat
tor in both is found to be due to one
and the same metal chromium in
different states of combination. Eed
and blue stones of an intermediate vio

- rare and beautiful oriental amethyst,
have been obtained in one and the same
operation from the same lot of material.
The jewels thus produced have so far
all been nnaU; large enough to form
the pivots of superior watch works, but
not large enough to rank as rare and
costly ornamental objects.

ARISTOTLE'S TREATISE. '
- . . t
The Mewlv DbOQYortri huitk Mnkm Hams
Alteration In Athenian HUtcirj. (
Since the world of elassleaf-iitadents I
was Btaitled by the discovery of a hith-
ertounknown'work by Aristotle there
has been great eagerness to find what
new facts it may bring to light, what
theories it may confirm or explode, says .
the Boston Advertiser. This niauu
script was found during some F-jryptian
excavations, and its authenticity is es
tablished beyond a doubt It Is in the
possession of the British museum and
has been published. It is .entitled "A
Treatise on the Constitution of Athens'1
and will clear up many disputed points
concerning the government and history
of the Attic capital.' 'The' first copies
arrived in this eountry about a week
ago, and one of these,i in the hands of j
. Prof. '. W. Goodwin, of Harvard. j
The manuscript is in four pajjyrus .
'. rolls, three of them "in good condition ;
and the last fragmentary. The writing,
r as is usually the case, is on the reverse
I of the papyrus, which originally held
' some mercantile accounts dated 70 A. D.
Allowing, therefore, a reasonable
length of time for those to become use
less before the reverse sine woum oe
used, the date may prettysafely be fixed
at the end of the first century. Infer
ence to the treatise is undoubtedly
made in a catalogue of Aristotle's
works, none of whose titles correspond
with anything previously known. Since
the clearness of the latest work marks
it in contrast with the technical style of
Aristotle's other writings, a confirma
tion is f and in the old theory that the
catalogue is a list of Aristotle's popular
works, y.
The treatise falls into two sections.
The first consists of a history of the de-
T."r

Aristotle's time. The last part ib frag-
y- " "
through quototions from it by the grnm-
marian Pollux. In the first part, how
ever, there is an abundance of hitherto
unknown material. A few months ago
Prof. J. H. Wright, of Harvard, com
menced an article for the Harvard clas
sical studies, in which he maintained,
merely on literary grounds, that the
Cylonian conspiracy took place at a
much earlier date than that accepted by
Grote. In the very first chapter of this
new manuscript thedate is Excel. as Prof.
Wright argued it should be, before the
legislation of Draco. Furthermore the
hitherto unknown fact is established
that Draco instituted the Athenian sen
ate and that Areopagus . was in ex
istence before his time.
Solon's reforms are explained anew.
It appears that his reduction of the
coinage was much later than his abol
ishment of debts, but that both were
accomplished by bim. The nine arehons
were chosen, as was not before sup
posed, by lot from forty men. ele"t :d in
tens from the four tribes. The divhim

plain and seashore is now known for
the first time. The Uhjht of Thcmi

This, i
with other and Jess unnortant revela-
tions, sets the whole history -of this When on his death-bed with his chil
period. The history continues down to 1 dren, who were all grown up and mur
tho time of Aristotle, but the state-: ried, surrounding liim, he said to them
mcnts concerning the latter period are ' that they would be surprised when

made a somewhat queer response to a
caller, was humanly right in the or.lers

A Hooaler'i Great Wealth of Always
Keaily I'aelt.
A land-owner nud cattle-raiser in :
Warren county, lud., died recently.
He had a larsre tract of land devoted :
exclusively to grazing, and his bales of :
cattle every year ran up to scores of .
thousands of dollars. Jluch of this
money during the latter years of his (
life he invested in more land. Jlc
bought farms, cleared them of their j
buildings, and turned them into bay-
fields and pasture-ground. His trims- j
actions, says the Cincinnati 1 lines-1
Htar, were always conducted on a cash i
basis. Where he kept his money was
a mvsterv. At the time of his death
he had about eight thousand acres of
land, ranging in value from thirty-five
dollars to one hundred dollars an acre.
He had been living alone on a farm
about two miles from the county scat.
which was in the room. When it was
opened after the funeral it was found
to contain one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. That was his bank. lie
had kept his money in the little safe in
his house, two miles in the country,
and had had lanre stuns there for
years. Imagine what an easy prey
this would heve been to a handful of
burglars. Two or three men could
have taken it any night without the
slightest trouble, lint he kept his se
cret well.
AN IRISH "LOT'S WIFE."
She Was a Wlrhn.1 t'rentnre and How j
Wears a Unique f.'mtume. i
A curious legend is attached to .a
strange momim'cnt which stands in a
solitary spot near llantry. Ireland. It
is a natural rock standing upward of
six feet in height, and containing five
basin-like holtows on its surface. Iu
each basin is a loug, oval stone. J
It is said that "once upon a time" a
woman lived in that neighborhood
who was in the habit of robbing the
j farmers throughout the district. In
J the dead of night she used to enter
j their bams, miik their cows and trans
fer from each dairy as much butter as
she eould carrj-.
The good Saint Frachna, conscious of
her depredations, resolved to punish
the woman. Ife mounted his horse
and pursued her as she was leaving
one of the farms. Overtaking the cul
prit he changed her into stone, and she
stands there to this duy, a monument
of righteous retribution. The stone
basins are those in which she was
carrying the milk, and the pieces of
rock in each are said to be the butter
she had stolen. The tree beside the
rock grew out of the spaniel with
whlchlfehe was acointometl to tie the
cows' legs before milking them. This
curious legend is known tind Iwlieved
by all the peasants in the district.

The whale is destined to disappear

speedily than ho was driven from the
eastern approaches to the Arctic. The

hundred and fifty -three whales. The
product of last season's catch would
have been represented by about two
million dollars nau prices remained as

W hen one small steamer takes sixty-
two whales in a single season, and a
still smaller one kills sixty-four, there
is a striking illustration of what steam
is doing for the extermination of the c
