Geographical Puzzle.

The following puzzle is from the pen
of Mrs. Edward Ashley Walker in re-
cent number OF the Advance:
[ was awakened one morning by a
Chinese seaport, and as the air was a
country of South America, I wrapped
myself in my cloak made Of part of the
Chinese Empire, and lined with a cape
in the southern part of the United
States, and busted myself in town on
the Schuylkill, until an island east of
Labrador called me to breakfast.
A group Of islands in the Gulf of Mex
leo burned brightly on the hearth, and
another group lying east of Africa greet
ed me with cheerful sound.
Soon lake Of North America brought
in breakfast, which consisted of an
Asiatic country, and a river of British
America well seasoned with lake in the
western part Of North America, and a
South America city. To these were ad-
ded group of islands in the Pacific, and
a plentiful portion Of an island in the At
lautic.
As L am naturally fond of another
group of islands in the Pacific, | chatted
with city IN Ohio and after 1 had sat
isfed my appetite which was at first a
town in the southern part of New Ham
pshire, | ate large group of islands ~
ing east of India with her. As she was
suffering with headache, | bathed her
head with city on the Rhine, but stop
ping suddenly, upon discovering that
the North American lake was Chinese
city,
| assured him that he never would OBJ
tain city in the western part of Missouri
unless he mended his ways, although my
disposition towards him was group of
islands in the Pacific; but should his
conduct prove satisfactory, he might look
for warnd with an African cape to OBJ
tanning a town In Kentucky in due time.
then went out and enjoyd New
foundIand cape, after lake of British
America, and, after I returned, finding
that the children were making New
York lake. | sent them all to bed, after
wishing a good deal of Scottish cape
upon them.

ATTACK UPON THE KING OF SPAM.- As King Anna ieus. of Spain, and his con- sort were returning, at midnight, from the palace garden to the palace, five men masked, wearing large sombreros and en- velnped in hugs clothes, issned from sharp turn in Arnal street and fired upon the carriage. One of the assa>sins was immediately killed by mounted cuir- rassier of the guard, who formed one of the escort. Two of the rest were cap, tured. The feeling in Madrid was one of universal indignation. Great excite ment prevailed, and a sharp hunt was kept up for the two assassins who es- caped. The tranquility of the city, how. ever, was not put out of joint by the oc. currence. It was tn cowardly character of the act united to the youth of Amad- GUS and the beauty of his Queen which stirred the popular heart. Crowds gath cred in the neighborhood where the attack was made, and, by four o'clock in the morning, the entire populace of Madrid was in the streets. Throughout the occurrence their majesties preserved uncommon self-possession. They were soon after engaged at the palace in re- ceiving the Ministry, the civil and mili- tary authorities, and the people. There was great reiolcing at the Klng's escape.

LOSSES FROM THE STRfKE.-It is esti- mated says New York paper, that in seven weeks that city lost fifteen millions of dollars from the stlike Some esti- mates mako the sum $2O. OOO.OO While labor has lost at least $5, 100000, weak employers have been ruined. In st me cases, the spare earnings of seven montn> were lost in the seven weeks of ill-temper and idleness. In the main, labor has received far more injury than capital. while both suffered as never before at any one time. May better intelligence and wiser men guide workmrn ill the fu- ture. The effect of the effo' which has failed is thus stated in the Ffn0ncini Chronicle: The men were persuaded by thelr leaders that if, instead of working so hours a week, Q million of men work 49 hours Q week, there will be room for 20 per cent. more workmen without de pressing the rate of wages. They would compel l, 200, ,000 men to effect the same
 mount of production to which l,OU0.- 900 men are competent, and they would lessen the effectiveness of all the capital, the machinery and the productive power of the whole country to similar degree. Thus the nation would have to support ID industry, equivalent to idleness, an army of 200. OOU men, whose labor would add nothing to the general stock of wealth. Moreover, to accomplish this, an investment of 20 per cent. more capi
 tai would be necessary. to provide the requisite machinery, and to keep this in- Aux of needless laborers to work.

It is reported that one of those voting for acquittal stated that he did so because of con >cientious oppo- sition to capital punishment, and that be would change his vote to murder if his associate would, which offer was not taken.

 It was quite a mental and physical re. lief to come from the cold damp dung ons of the past, into the bright sunshine of the present.
 The drive back to the town was very pleasant.

The Laws of Travel.

It is the duty of railroad companies to furnish checks for baggage given them for transportation; and by the New York statute, a company refusing to check bag. rage is liable to penalty of ten dollar> tor every refusal. After the check is de- alvered to the passenger, he sh uld be care Ful not to lose or mlslay it, since it's pes session is evidence against the company the receipt of the baggage. Baggage checks, or tokens gwen in exchange for bag gage checks (as for example. card or receipt of an express company, given to q baggage check, limiting the liability of the company for loss ot baggage to $lOO, are not ot such rature as to put persons on thclr guard as to memoranda stamped ol printed tbcreon, and persons receiving them arc not presumed to know their COL rents. The carrier, except ID cases where the loss occurs through the enemies of the country, or inevitable accident. is bound 10 deliver to each passenger his baggage Tn l reasonable time and manner after it's ar rlval at the place Of destination, and 1t is quite irnmaterial whether the passenger accompanies his baggage. or starts by a prior or subsequent train to one carrying his baggage; or whether the baggage IS in excess of the quantity allowed to pas senger, unle s tLele is some agreement to the contrary.
 It is the duty of the passenger, however, to present hls check and remove hls bag gage within a reasonable time, or the stricr and vigorous liability of the cour- pany IS ended, and thereafter it will only be liable for want of ordinary care. So when, upon arrival al his destination the passenger lett his valise in charge oi an employee of the company, but without giving any directions respecting 1t, and die nut call for iu or present hls check until nearly twenty four hours afterward, he was deem. guilt, of ueglieen ence, relieving the company of liability for loss of the vaise. But where the company retained the baggage on r,quvsr until it could be sent for, its strict liability continues unti the delivery or tend'r of the baggage t, the owner. A baggage agent of the com pany is the proper person 10 enquire of le ,pecting lest baggage. Where the pas ,enger keeps tue exclusive control of hi own baggage, as for example of cnat cane. or umbrella, the company will mol be liable for their loss. But tue proprie tors of a steamboat are liable for sucI baggage stolen from the passengers stat room. in absence of negligence on tue par l of the pa,sengcr.
