Arithmetical Puzzles.

"Libussa," the lady of Bohemia put
forth the following problem to her three
lovers, offering her hand and throne as the
prize for q correct solution:
81 have here in my basket" said the
Lady Libussa, ga gift of plums for each of
you, picked from my garden. One of you
shall have half and one more, the second
shall again have half and one more, and the
third shall again have half and three more.
This will empty my basket. Now tell me
how many plums are in it P'
The first knight made a random guess at
threescore.
"No," replied the lady "but if there
were as many more, half as many more,
and third as many more as there are now
in the basket, with five more added to that,
the number would by so much exceed
threescore as it now falls short of it."
The second knight getting bewildered,
speculated widely on forty-five. u.
"Not So" said this royal reckoner "but
If there were third as many more, half as
many more, and sixth as many more as
there are now, there would be in my basket
as many more than forty-fve as there now
are under that number"
Prince Wladomir then decided the num-
Der of plums to be thirty and by so doing
obtained this invaluable housekeeper for
his wife. The Lady Libussa thereupon
counted him out fifteen plums and one
more, when there remained fourteen. To
the second knight she gave seven more, and
six remained. To the first knight she gave
half of these and three more; and the
basket was empty. The discarded lovers
went off with their heads exceedingly giddy
and their mouths full of plums.
A Dublin chambermaid is said to have
got twelve commercial travellers into eleven
bedrooms, and yet to have given each a
separate room. Here we have the eleven

moon changes elsewhere than in their own
township. fa'faH
Says some old farmer, at will turn
warm next week, Tuesday for there is a
change of the moon" "Turn warm
where ?" we ask him. "Why, turn warm
here" But the moon will change up in
Alaska--will it turn warm there? And it
has already turned warm down in Texas
has the moon already changed Thereon
does not Texas weather go by the moon
Says some old observer, "Ihave noticed
for more than forty years that the first
frost of the fall comes at the full of the
moon" But the first frost does not come
at the same time in Montreal, Pbiladel-
phia, and Savannah, and If the first frost
in Montreal comes on a halfmoon, the first
in New York could not be before the first
full moon, and Richmond would have to
wait till another moon before it could have
a frost; and the first frost would not come
in Cuba until the next July.
Bea ms should be planted in the new of
the moon," says some old fellow who has
had experience" But beans should not
be planted in Missouri at the same time as
in Arkansas or Louisiana, and if each lat
itude has to wait for a new moon for bean
planting, the people up in Dakota or Brit
ish America would not get in their beans
at all.
"The 2sth of the month";" says another,
"shows what is to be the prevailing wealth
er for the next month";" But while ago
the almanac was changed from old style to
new style, and now the 2Sth comes at diff
ferent time by eleven days from what it
did before. Is it just as reliable TO reckon
from as before? We reckon it is.
If the new moon is tipped up so that you
can hang a powder-horn on it, the month
will be a dry one--or wet one--the wealth
er prophets are not agreed which.
When the sun crosses the line on the goth
of March or September, we shall have an
equinoctial storm in March, and one may
come some where near the Goth, but it may
have as much connection with st. Patrick's Is
Day as with the sun crossing the line.
Let man take notes of the matter for a
series Of years, and set them down on paper;
he will be able to test these signs. But
the hap-hazard recollections of an old sail
or, or an old farmer are no guide. He
thinks he has observed, when in fact he has
paid no strict attention to the matter at all.

"Now," said she, if two of you gentle
men will go into No. bed room, and wait
there a few minutes, I'll find spare room
for one of you as soon as I've shown the
others to their rooms.'
Well, now, having thus bestowed tsOO
gentlemen in No. 1, she put the third in
No. Q, the fourth in No. 8, the fifth in No.
A, the sixth in No 0, the seventh in No. 0,
the eight in No. 2, the ninth in No. 8, the
tenth in No. o, and the eleventh in No. 10.
She then came back to No. 1, where you
will remember, she had left the twelfth
gentleman along with the first, and said -
"I've now accommodated all the rest, and
have still room to spare 30, IL one of you
will please step into room No. II, you will
find it empty Thus the twelfth man got
his bedroom. OF course there is hole in
the saucepan somewhere; but leave the
reader to determine exactly where the fall
lacy is, with just a warning to think twice
before deciding as to sOhich, If any, Of tho
travellers was the todd man out.''

About Turtles.

Audubon, the naturalist, stated that at
certain places on the coast of Florida sea
turtles, those huge, stolid-l ooking reptiles
on which aldermen are fed at the expense
of tax payers, possess an extraordinary
faculty of finding places. Working their
way up out of reach of tide water with
their flippers, quite deep hole is excavated
in which batch of eggs are deposited and
then carefully covered up. On reaching
the water they not unfrequently swim 300
miles out at sea, foraging for proper food.
When another batch of eggs are developed
after lapse of about fourteen days, they
will return unerringly in direct line, even
in the darkest night, and visit the buried
eggs. Removing the sand, more are de-
posted and secured. Away they go again
as before. They know instinctively the
day and hour when the young brood, in
cubated by the solar rays will break the
shell and are promptly on the spot to lib
crate them from their prison. AS soon as
fairly out of the hole the mother turtle,
leads them down the bank to the waves
and there ends her parental solicitude and
maternal duties.

Weather Signs.

LIVERY man has some way of telling
~ the change Of weather, OF rather no
way of telling what the weather will be- He
fixes on some rule and agrees with himself
that he will believe the weather to be thus
or thus, according as his rule demands.
These signs do not generally receive
from those who follow them very critical
investigation. When a man says, 81 have
noticed for more than forty years that al
ways, when," ETC., it may be quietly as
sumed that he has noticed no such thing.
He has heard some one say thus or SO; he
has vague idea that once or twice he has
seen the sign come true, but the dozens of
times that it has utterly failed he paid no
regard to.
1t is common saying there will be a
change of weather with the change
of the moon. Now, as the moon changes
once week, a change of weather must
come somewhere near change of the
moon. But take long series of observa-
tions, such as those made by the agents for
the Smithsonian, Institute observations
which give tho state of the thermometer, the
direction of the wind, character of the
clouds and fall Of rain in particular place
noted three times day for years, and by
comparing the changes of the moon, we
find there is no tractable connection between
the two-that sometimes the weather
changes with the moon and just as often
does not.
The moon changes the same day all over
the earth. A change of weather moves
more slowly than the moon, SO that If the
moon and weather run together on the At
lantio coast, they would not be on the Rocky
Mountains, or ON the Pacific coast. Again,
when the weather is very wet on the Allan.
tic slope, it may be very dry in the Missis-
sippi Valley. Ifa change from wet tc
dry in one place, 1t should change from dry
to wet in the other. People forget that the

Matches.

Although friction matches are as COM
mon as nails, a very small proportion of
those who use them understand the prin-
ciple on which they operate. 1t is, in fact,
a very simple affair The tip of the match
is a combination of sulphur and phosphor-
us. The phosphorus ignites at the heat of
one hundred and twenty degrees, which
slight friction will produce, and this in
turn ignites the sulphur which requires
four hundred and fifty or five hundred de-
grees. The flame of the sulphur sets fire
to the pine wood, of which the match is
composed, and which ignites at about six
hundred degrees. The combination is
necessary, because the phosphorus alone
would not kindle the match, while the sui
phur alone would not ignite with the or
dinary friction.

NNWO of the most popular comedians in
Il London are Toole, of the Gaiety, and
Lionel Brough, of the Holborn. They are
both opera bouffers, now and each may
count about four notes in his vocal organ
Toole, perhaps, only three (; but opera bouffe
nowadays does uot demand voices so let
that pass. Both are excellent comedians,
and their names are so valuable on "bill
of the play" that the managers disregard
ing the fact that they are not singers, press
them into Offenbach's tuneful tomfoolery,
and as those who can usually do not act, a
sort of dramatic balance is established.
Some time ago the two appeared conformity
to drama in which they woie very ragged
woe-begone costumes and at the desire of
eminent artists in Regent street, they went
in their rags to be photographed. While
waiting "between the plates" Toole, who
is fond of a joke, suggested to his brother
commedian to sally out and call upon GER
tain mutual acquaintance stuck up POM
pous sort of person, who would be horribly
shocked at receiving visitors in such garb
Brougb, who is a confirmed joker, at once
assented, and popping on their battered
hats, out into the street the pair slipped,
and made for the house of their would-be-
well friend. Rat tat tat ~ went the
knocker in most pronounce manner, and
in order to make it appear that the visitors
were of more than ordinary distinction they
pulled the bell almost out of its peaceful
socket. The house resounded with its
tintinnabulatory din.
A neat but flurried housemaid, followed
by boy in buttons, rushed to the door
with great anxiety of expression. At the
sight of the two cadger-looking men their
first impulse was to shut the door in their
faces.
"Hey stop-is Mr.-inP"
"No, he's not and we don't open the
door to beggars, said the maid. "We've
no cold meat here"
"Git out do" squeaked out the page
from the rear of the maids crinoline.
81 axes your parding," said Toole in an
assumed tone "you're making slight
mistake, pretty maid. We want to see
your maste," and he mentioned the gentle
mans Christian name and that of his wife.
"We have important business with him"
chimed in Brough, giving his tatters atwist
" it's awful important"
The girls face wore dazed aspect, and
then said: "Master never sees the likes of
you at his house. He's most partickler
amt he, Charles?" appealing to the page.
You must be making mistake"
ooh no we amt, responded Toole with
extreme gravity. "But Pm sorry William
is out (the Christian name of the gentle
man > haven't got card about me (pre-
tending to tumble among his rags,) but
when he comes in to dinner, just say, his
two cousins from the Work house called as
they were passing through London"
The maid stood aghast, "the buttons"
let out wild laugh, and the two comedians
turned back to the Photographic studio to
see how the last plate had developed. Toole
protests that the mind of that maid will
have undergone curious revolution in re-
gard to the lofty character of her master
since the cousins called.

our bonds which would have been pow

That British capitalists would promptly
have done this, in tho case Of war be-
tween the two nations, is thoroughly we'll
known. In the presence Of so appalling
probability, the government Of the United
States was utterly paralyzed. 1t was
forced to yield It's honor and its clear
rights in respect to the Alabama claims |;
the shameful concession was concealed un-
der the specous pretext Of the adoption
of new principle (arbitration), for the
settlement of international disputes. The
deceit was successful for the time; the
sentimentalists bubbled over with Joy at
what they called the Inauguration Of the
"era of peace" peace has indeed been Sc.
cured, but it may always be so on the
same terms.
It was peace at any price but surely
we ought not to rejoice over it.

STALE, FLAT AND UNPROFIT.
ABLE,

Some of the charges urged against Hon.
George w. Wall by the Radicals of this
are about a. ridiculous and un.
founded A. many Of those brought against
Horace Greeley by the worshippers Of
Grant. Most of the Radical newspapers
of the district continue to harp upon the
stale Islander that Mr.. Wall was member
of the Golden Circle, an assertion which
wa. refuted satisfactorily long ago to
every voter Of the district, except those
who are hopelessly ignorant and cannot
understand and that other equally stupid
class Of whom holy writ affirms mono are
80 blind as those who will not see." The
falseness Of this coupling Of the name Of
Mr.. Wall with the X. G. c. is only out
done by the stupidity Of the favorite argu-
ment of the DuQuoin Tribune against Mr..
Wall, namely: that he Is the attorney of
the Illinois Central road and therefore
ought not to be elected to Congress.
Why Mr.. Wallis position as attorney Of
the l. q. X. X. should be a bar to his fitness
as congressional representative, and what
connection the one would have with the
other, the able editor of the Tribune does
not explain, though he emphasizes the fac,
in italics and lays double stress upon it in
smsll-caps. We will oblige the Tribune
by giving its favorte argument against
Mr.. Wall the benefit Of our circulation
He is the attorney of the III. G. X. r. The
position is not an irresponsible one, and 50
far as our information extends, he per.
forms its duties ably. Is this = good rea.
son, or any reason at all, why he should
not be sent to congress, or reason why
being there, he would not discharge the
duties Of that position efficiently?
