In Mathematical science we have what are
known as axioms that is. selfevident PROPOSE
tion the truths of which commend themselves
at the glance and Enthusiastically to the most ordi-
nary apprehension, because their converse phases
are seen at once to involve physical absurdity
We have other facts not down in the Mathe-
NAUTICAL books, but genericay allied thereto, the
denial Of which would involve absurdities no less
eIarine than would the denial Of the axioms that
the whole is greater than any of its parts, or that
tits equal to the sum of them. Among such out
side propositions we might class the claims of
any two given daily papers in any given town,
to have, respectively, the larger circulation
We presume the absurdity of such claim is
patent We have all along felt that it was and
really we have often felt concerned for the repu-
tation of both papers in the matter Of veracity
in the estimation of the public. There is bnre
possibility that the Wheeling Times and the IN
telliaencer may stand exactly neck and neck rs to
circulation. The possibility is very bare indeed.
There is. however, probability, and in cur es-
timation very strong one, that the Wheeling
IntclLigencer crculatcs each day near about one
third more copies than does the Wheeling Times.
If. however, the Wheeling Times is contra-mind-
ed and has an inclination to come to an issue on
the case, we are in waiting at any hour of the
day or night to afford them opportunity.
What say YOU, gentlemen of Market square?
