The GOOSE QUESTION. 1T may be amusing
to of our readers to puzzle their brains in the
solution of the oft heard of Goose Question: If
any one can furnish satisfactory solution we will
thank them, and we will then be call right on the
goose question.
A goes to market to buy geese and buys two
lots containing thirty each In purchasing the
first lot, he pays at the rate of 81 for ? and SIS
for the 30. The second parcel he obtains at the
rate of 81 for 3, and SO for the whole lot, thus
giving s25 for the sixty geese.
Being dissatisfied with his bargain, he wishes to
sell them for the amount they cost him. TO save
trouble in counting them, he sells them in lots Of
5, at 81 per lot. It would seem that, having in
separate trades bought them at the prices
of for 81 and for 81, he would lose nothing in
selling them at tie rate of for s.. But after
concluding the trade, he finds he has sold his sixty
geese for s24, and of course has lost 81 by the
trade. Why did he lose 81 in selling the geese at
the same rate that he paid for them? That is the
famous goose question.

CONGRESSIONAL ADJoURSMENr-THE Day FIX
ED.-Both Houses of Congress have voted to
close the present session Monday the 9TH of
June, the Senate having on Thursday concurred
IN n Joint resolution to that effect previously
adopted by the Honse of Represen tatives. This
is earlier day than has of late years been usu-
al, and some will doubtless attribute it to the fact
that members of Congress receive a fixed salary
instead of eight dollars per dien formerly
Their pay is now 50 900 per session, exclusive of
milage, as well for short session, which term-
mates, on the 4th of March, as for the long one
which ends whenever Congress pleases. The
present Is the first session held under the salary
regulation, and the day designated for adjourn
nent will probably he in some a preced-
ent. Six months is certainly lcng enough even
for the long session and if by any possible
edct or rule the length and number of BuncoDlbe
essays read and spouted, could be materially
curtailed, the country would, have cause to re-
ioice.
