The Dubuque Times in the fol-
lowing extract expresses our ssenti-
ments regarding the farce Of a
recess in which the Legislature
has resolved to indulge. There
would be no good reason for it if
the members proposed to play the
lion among their constituents at
their own expense, but as they in
sist upon the State paying the piper,
it is little short of Aattery to call it
outrageous:
The salaries alone, Of the men,
bers and employees Of the General
Assembly, amount to over 5000 per
day. For the fourteen days of the
recess Of that body, there will be
drawn from the treasury at least
81, 500 for salaries for which not
particle of pretended equivalent will
be given. This money is filched
from the treasury, absolutely and
unblushingly, except, perhaps, in
the cases Of the few men appointed
on the investigating committees,
who, during the recess, will give q
few days to the investigations upon
which they are sent. Not one Of
the others will pretend to give to
the people a dimes worth of service
for the money which he will coolly
draw from the treasury, making in
the aggregate, the large sum which
we have indicated. And to this, in
less than three weeks from the time
Of getting to Des Moincs, have come
these economic gentlemen, SO fierce
to war against extravaganza. Not
an economic impulse has been al
lowed to come between them and
their own interests. The only thing
that they have been able to ee,that
has appeared to them like one Of
the heads Of this beast Of extrava-
gance, is the press of the State, and
upon that alone have they spent
their efforts.

The circumference of the larger wheel
being to the circumference Of the smaller
wheel as S to 8, then the circumference
Of the larger wheel must be SIS of itself,
that Of the smaller 3-5 as much, and the
difference of the circumference is SIS mi
nus 3-5, equal to IS Of the circumfer-
cnce Of the larger wheel.
According to conditions, the difference
in the length Of the ropes is Is Of the
circumference of the larger wheel plus
$50 yards. The long rope being wound
12 more times around the larger wheel
than the short one around the smaller, the
former must grin IL revolutions on the
latter, that they may discharge their
ropes at the same time. As the larger
wheel turns three times as fast as the
smaller, while the latter makes one revOlu-
ton, the former gains too, and the larger
wheel will make as many times revolu-
lions, and the smaller as many times
revolution as IL (the whole number OF
revolutions to be gaincd) is times 2 (thc
number Of revolutions the larger wheel
gains on the smaller while the latter
makes rcvOlutiOn). IL is 6 times 2,
and Q times rev. are 10 rev. 1.-THE mum
Der the larger wheel makes) and 6 times
rev. are rev. (numbers small wheel makes.)
Now, rs the circumference Of the
larger wheel is 5.5 Of itself, and It makes
10 revolutions, the length Of the longer
rope is 10 times 5.5-9O-5 Of the circum-
ference Of larger wheel; and Is the cir
conference Of the smaller wheel il S5
that Of the larger, and the number of
revolutions it makes is 6, the length
of the shorter rope is Q times S-5
equal to 1876 of the circumference of
the larger wheel. and the difference in
the length Of the ropes 10 90.5-l8-5-72-5
Of the circumference Of the larger wheel
But (as per solution above) s-5 plus
$50 yards also equals that difference
Then $50 yards plus 2-5 equals 1875;
now il 2.5 has been added to ESQ yards,
to equal 72-5, then .2SO yards must be

equal to 4 yds., SIS times 4 yds., equal

wheel; 3.5-S times 4 yds., equal to IL yds.
the circumference of the smaller wheel.
As the circumference Of the larger
wheel is 20 yards, and it makes 10 revo
lutions to discharge its rope, the length
Of the longer rope 10 16 times 20 vds.,
equal to 800 yards. and rs the circum-
ference Of the smaller wheel is IL yards

beIlion."

he Lock Tor Locke family are
quite numerous in this vicinity, and
among their records the name of
Ebenezer Lock is remembered.
Ebemexer died in Deer6eld about
sixty-fivc years ago. His descend
ants refer to the history of the Rev
olution to prove that he fired the
first gun in the rebellion" against
the British government. He rcsid-
ed in Lexington, Mass, in 1855.
When the red-coats marched into
that town to dispense the "rebels,"
Ebenezcr took his gan and, being
for some reason separated from his
townsmen who gathered from every
direction, took his position in an
open cellar aud commenced firing
upon squad Of the red-coats that
was stationed on a bridge. He was
entirely alone, and began the war
on his own responsibility.
The account shown us by one Of
the Lock family, now living in Rye,
says that Ebcnczcr worked valiantly
for some minutes, bringing down
one of the enemy at nearly every
shot. Up to this time not q gun
had been fired by the "rebels."
The British, greatly disturbed at
losing so many men by the random
firing of an unseen enemy, were not
long in discovering the man in the
cellar, md discharged volley Of
balls, which lodged in the wall
opposite. Mr.. Lock, remaining un-
hurt, continued to load and. FIRE
with the precision Of o finished
marksman. He was driven to such
close quarters, however by the
British on his right and left, that he
was compelled to retreat.
He had but one bullet left and
there was now but one way Of
escape, and that was through an
orchard, and not one moment was
to be lost. He levelcd his gun at
a man near by, discharged the
weapon, and tho man was shot
through the heart. He dropped the
gun and ran. The bullets whistlcd
about him. Lock reached the brink
Of steep hill and throwing himself
upon the ground, tumbled down
ward, rolling as if lmortally wound
ed. In this way he escaped unhurt.
At the close Of the war he moved
to this county, where he resided till
his death, twenty years after. He
lived in seclusion and died. In
