PUzzLE.-A friend who has travelled
during the sl,tnmer, picked up the fol.
lowing puzzle, which we publish for our
little friends to solve. Set out nine rose
bushes so that there shall be ten rows
with three bushes in each row.
THE WHOLE CLoTH.-The Now
York Evening Post has tho following
gratuitous assertion. It says:
The discussion of the constitutional
amendment is baUomihg lively in tho
Southern States. The greater num-
Der of the journals oppose it, but tho
ablest journals favor it.
We have but slight rospoct, gener-
ally, for the journalism of tho North
when candor or honesty are concerned.
This is very fair sample of tho man
ner in which public opinion is manu-
facturcd and ignorant mon deludcd.
Tho editor who composed this Nre.
cious paragraph knew for d certainty
that he penned q deliberate falsohood.
Or if this be too harsh a Judgment, it
follows, as necessary consequence
that he was ignorant of his business
and wrote without reflection or invcsti-
cation upon grave subject-thc hon
Or and wcifurc Of prostrato people.
Either horn of tho dilemma is sharp
enough to gore him through, as wilful
or ignorant pervorsions Of truth arc
equally base and contemptible. Let
tho Post name its ablest journals. AS
it has made so brazen an assertion,
it would be quito in character to forge
names - Constitutionahst'
