QUEKy.-If four dogs with sixteen legs
can cath fortv-rine rabbits with eighty
seven legs in forty four minutes, how many
legs must the same rabbits have to get
away from eight dogs with thirty-,wo legs
IN seventeen minutes aud half?
SoLrTIoE.-Add together the legs Of the
rabbits aad the tails of the dogs, and divide
the amount By three big dogs: this leaves
'eur bushels Of barks and thirteen pounds
Of hair. Take the fraction Of the rabbits,
add six inches Of snow, multiply by a dog
fight. Then divide by man with dou-
bic barreled shot gun, and add side Of
fresh meat. Multiply by half as many
legs as three times less nnmber of rab
bits woaId have had. and divide bv one
third OF the time it woed take for the rah,
bits TO get away from the dogs, less seven
teen and 4 half minutes. The result de-
ponds upon the size Of the dogs.

Calandcr. The road soon reaches an eleva-
ton of fifty feet above Loeb Achray, and
winds along the steep side of crag. After
crossing the bridge of Turk, came in sight
of Loeb Vennechar, which slept in the moon
lirht on one side, while Penledi rose like a
huge sentinel on the other. Passing through
several picturesque Highland villages, we
came in sight of Coilantogle Ford, where the
combat took place between Fitz james and
Roderick Dhu. We passed the night at Cal
andcr and took the I clock A. N. train for
Sterling, where we arrived in about forty
minutes.
But time and space forbid my relating all
saw to interest me in this ancient city, 80
rich with memories of the past. We first
bent our steps to the oldest church in the
city, where John Knox preached the corona
ton sermon to James VI then to the old
est cemetery, where are several monuments
erected to the memory of many of the Chris
tan Martyrs. Among those whose memory
is perpctuated on marble, | read the names
Of John Knox, John Henderson, Margaret
Of Glencoe and her sister. From the ccmctc-
ry we went to Sterling Castle, whose earliest
history is unknown, for it g frowncd down
from its stately rock" long before the rec
ords Of Scotch and English history were writ
ten. 1t first became royal residence in the
reign Of James |, and his son, James II, was
born there We were shown into the room
where James II stabbed the Earl of Douglas
It has been called the Douglas room, ever
since that bloody tragedy was enacted within
It's walls Next We were shown into the
Chapel, now used as an Armory, where we
sstw many relics Of savage warfare the
coats Of mail used by Cromwel's warlike
saints, and in the battle axes and spears used
by the Highland warriors. The pulpit from
which John Knox abused Mary, Queen Of
scots, because she adhered to the Roman
Catholic faith in which she was educated, is
still reserved here. It is rude affair, as
sure you, Oar guido next conducted us to
the Palace, which stands at the $ +. OF the
Castle, and was erected by James II. who
wis I>oer9wned within its walls. We We're
in tie apartment where his coronation took
place, ana had the pleasure Of sitting in the
same chair on which His Royal llishneso sat
three centuries ago.

] What amounts to adhcring to, and Civ

The Charleston correspondent Of the Rich
mond Dispatch is becoming terribly oracular
in his communications to that journal. His
letter on the 7th inst. is strongly spiced with
the following sanguinary hints;
The project which hinted at yesterday, Of
an invading army, find now the order Of
the day, and that the battle ground viii be
changed from South Carolina to another local
ity not ten thousand miles from you, is in
my judgment a Fixed fact If IYere to pre-
dict that in sixty days the city Of Washing
ton would be razed so that a plOWshare
should be run over the place where now Lin
coin nervously rests, and that magnificent
monument Of former greatness, toe Capitol,
would be blown sky-high, i might not in such
q prediction be false prophet. ], like many
a Southern man, have a few cents invested
in that other monument began years ago to
the memory Of George Washington, which
monument, if LEFT to Bleeks 3 Republican
keeping, hope q see it rsnt in twain iron
top to bottom. Some Of yoaf aubmission
readers may call this vandalism. It matters
not with me what they call it. that monu-
ment viii never be allowed to stand on Re
publican soil, and you may take that as an
other prediction. If you will look 10 the Cour-
ier, of the date of the sth insk, you will see
my invading plot hinted at there. aTiie

will not be easily quenched, nor will It be,
