Nantucket, for generations one of the
chief seats of the whale fishery, is los
ing population in consequence of the
decline of that business. The late CEN
sus shows that the place contains only
4,123 persons, while the enumeration
taken in 1890, eighty years ago, gave
1920. In 1910 the population was 9,OI2,
and in 1860 it had gone down to 6,IOO.

Some few days ago, says the GAINESVILLE Courier,
we published from the Wheeling IntelHgencsr, the
following puzzle, communicated to that paper by q
gentleman who offered $50 to any one who would
scve it, 'Take the nine digits 1, 2, 3, T. 8, s, 7,
g. 9, and also the 0, and add them together that
they amount to just focusing them once and only
once ?" The following solution Is offered by Mr..
George Brown, son of Hugh Brown, young man
of 16 years, of HOpeweH township, this county,
who holds an eighteen months certificate from the
School Examiners and who is, we presume, entitled
to the $50. Solution next week.

THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN
DROOD.
Letter from Charles A. Collins.

Letter from Charles A. Collins.
Some time ago, when Mr.. Angus
tin DAILY conceived the idea Of dram
atizing "The Mystery Of Edwin
Drood," he wrote for information to
Mr.. Charles Collins, Mr.. Dickens
sOn-in law, who made the design
for the illustrated title page. Mr..
DAILY received the subjoined reply:
"DEAR SIR-The late Mr.. Dickens
communicates to me some general
outlines for his scheme for Edwin
brood, but it was at very early
state in the development Of the idea,
and what he said bore mainly upon
the earlier portions Of the title. Ed-
win brood was never to reappear,
he having been murdered by Gas
per. The girl Rosa not having
been really attached to Edwin, was
not to lament his loss very long,
and was, I believe, to admit the sail
or, Mr.. Tartar, to supply his place.
1t was intended that Casper himself
was to urge on the search Of Edwin
brood, and the pursuit Of his mur-
derer, thus endeavoring to direct
suspicion from himself, the real
murderer. This is indicated in the
design on the right side Of the cover,
of the figures hurrying up the stair
case, emblematic Of a pursuit. They
are led on by Casper, who points
.uneonsciously to his own figure, in
the drawing at the head Of the title'
The female figure at the left of the
cover, reading the placard 'LOst," i" is
only intended to illustrate the doubt
entertained by Rosa Rudd as to the
fate of her lover brood. The group
beneath indicates the acceptance Of
another suitor.
GAS to anything further, it must
be purely conieotural. It seems
likely that Rosa would marry Mr..
Tartar, and possible that the same
destiny might await Mr., Crisparkle
and Helena Landlsss. Young Land
less, himself, was to die, perhaps,
and Casper certainly would, though
whether by falling into the hands Of
Justice, or by suicide, or by taking
an overdose of opium, which seems
most likely, it is impossible to say.
I regret not to be able to afford you
more information, and also that
your letter should have remained so
long unanswered.
every faithfully yours,
| "CHARLEs ALLsTON COLLINs. /"

The Democrats of Ohio are desper-
ately in earnest in the present cam
paign, and are leaving nothing un-
done to carry the county elections.
Their long fasting from the public
crib has whetted their appetites be-
yond all control. The following
anecdote will aptly illustrate the
strait which that party is now in:
A boy was intently watching for
a "woodchuck" to come out of his
hole. "Do you suppose you can
catch him?'' asked passer-by.-
"Catch him ?" contemptuously an
swered the boy. 81 have got to catch
him, stranger. We are out of naeat!"

aged mother folds her tired hands at
night, and feels as if she had, after
all, done nothing, although she has

your husband feels "safe" when he

Tae origin OF speeies.

Mr.. Darwin has preached an old theory,
that man is butza monkey in state Of
development, and is but the highest type
of the animal kingdom, having his origin
far back in the Shiny ages, when reptiles
crawled through the mud which covered
the face Eof the earth although this
theory is Indignantly denied, how often
do you hear one man compare another
to a dog, a hog, and monkey and an
ape. May it not be instinct which i'm
pels the one to discover the characters
ties of these animals-our ancestors
in the actions or personal appearance of
his neighbor? The highest type Of the
monkey and the lowest type Of the negro
almost interlace. The way monkeys are
caught in lDarfour SEMINAR proves
them to be reasoning, rejecting ami
mails, and we are certain that the
negro and the white man could be
captured in the same manner. In Oar
four and SEMINAR the natives make n
fermented beer of which the monkeys
are passionately fond. Aware of this,
the natives 60 to the parts of forest fire.

ground calabashes full of the liquor
AS soon as the monkey sees it and tastes
it, he utters loud cries of joy that soon
attracts his comrades. Then the orgie
begins, and ina short time they showalt
degrees OF intoxication. Then the ne
groes appear The few monkeys that
come too late to get fuddled escape.
The drinkers are too far gone to distrust
the negroes, but apparently take them
for larger specimens of their own spe-
cies. When a negro takes one by the
hand to lead him off, the nearest mon
key will cling to the one that thus finds
support, and endeavor to 90 off also.
ANOTHER will grasp at him, and so on,
until the negro leads staggering line of
ten or fifteen tipsy monkeys. If the
tipsy animals were white men you
would hear the charges Of resisting an
officer, and drunk and disorderly," but
our Darwinian ancestors were law
abiding people, but addicted to liquor.
