Who shall decide when Doctors disagree
Ws have received the following solutions to the Enigma that
appeared in the Sips an Tuesday last.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn--The Enigma in your Paper of the 4th inst. is the excla-
mation of a modern Dandy following a Donkey; whether the ex-
clamation be correct or not in all cases, I leave to your Readers
to decide. JE SUIS CE QUE JE SUIS:
Je sole ce que je anis,*
•
Mai. je ne anus pas ce que anis,
Car el j'etois ce que je auis,
• Je ne demis pax et que je anis.
I am that which I am,
But I am not that which I follow,
For if I was that which I follow,
I shoidd not be what I am.
From the verb titre, to be. j• From the verb suivre, to follow.

" UN OMBRE."

11.1 x. EDITOR,
Ttirice I read your Enigma with care,

And attempted the meaning to scan,
Then threw down The Sun in despair.
Just as wise as when. I began;
When Lanra, (dear maid !) her efforts easay'd,
And quickly her smiles her triumph displaysd ;
" The brighter The Sun," she exultingly said,
" The stronger Me shadow, more grateful the abade."
Prive des rayons du Soleil,
Le monde en delta,
Perd son orgueile;—
A' leur abri, tout devien• t sombre,
Et tnontre votre enigroef—Un Ombre,

THE POINT OF PRECEDENCE, OR \Vito YIELDS
Floor ?—Two gentlemen, both on horseback, met each other in
an extremely narrow lane, so narrow that it was impossible for
them to pass, and the only alternatire wa.s, that one should hack
out, and allow the other to get through. In common cases this
would have been very easily arranged, hut, in the particular in-
stance to which we allude, it happened that the gentlemen were
the.headai of two rival families, both equally proud, and equally
jealous of the slightest approach on the part of either to the smallest
superiority. The two gentlemen both checked their horses at the
lame time, and each requested, in the politest and moat ceremoni-
ous manner passible, that the other would back out and leave the
passage free. But, in the pokiest and most ceremonious man-
lier possible, they both refused to do any such thing, as this, on
the part of the individual making the conmssion, would have been
considered a degradation sufficient to have made all his future life
miserable. Both, therefore, kept their positions, and as the day
was not far advanced, it appeared likely. that they would continue
to keep them for some tune. One of the gentlemen took at
length. a newspaper Gann. his pocket (of course the Edinburgh
Observer), and began deliberately to read it through from the
number at the top
of the first column, to the ' Printed for the
Proprietors, on Tuesdays and Friday.s,'• at the foot of the last.
This occupied three or four hours, during which time no symptom
of impatience was manifeatod on
either hand ; when he of the
newspaper had neatly got through, his friend said, with the utmost
calmuesa,—" Perhaps, Sir, when you have dolie, you will allow
me a
wild
of your paper?" This was more than flesh and
bleed col4d beat; the Observer wee restored to the pocket, and
its owner proceeded instantly to back out in a state of mind more
easily imagined shalt deuribed,..4dinburgh Observer.
