Harper's Young People is an illustrated weekly publication for children that includes short stories, tales from history, natural history, poetry, puzzles, and other fun. This 39th issue of the serial was published on July 27th, 1880. In this issue, "The Moral Pirates" make great progress on their journey but find themselves accused of thievery in the ninth part of their story; an uncle shares the story of a now-deceased friend who once saved his life in "Poor Ben!"; and retired warhorse, "Old Hannibal", hears the call to march once more. Other highlights of this issue include a do-it-yourself guide to fire eating; a behind the scenes tour of a tea plantation in Java to see how green and black teas are made; and, the third part in "The Story of the American Navy" in which Congress is reluctant to spend money on a navy but is persuaded to do so by new threats to Americans at home and abroad. This periodical was published by Harper & Brothers, known today for their publications Harper's Bazaar and Harper's Magazine. - Summary by Jill Engle (1 hr 56 min)
