A PUZZLE FOR PHYsIoI.oaIsrs.-
Pottsville Jdaraai says: Avery strange
phenomenon Is now agitating the
minds Of some men In town acquaint.
ed with tho facts In the case. It ap-
pears that some time since man
slaughtered a hog, and cut 1t exactly
through the middle, dividing the
beast, as he fondly imagined, into two
equal parts. But when he came to
weigh the two parts he found that one
side weighed twenty-eight pounds
more than the other did. This was
not owing to the division having been
unequally made so far as cutting
through the centre of the hog Is con-
cerned. Who can explain?

JEFF. Davis not likely to get much sympathy
in any quarter in mis- feeble effort to rekindle
the embers of treason. The democratic press,
already, has taken him in hand, and the New
York Express says that to him is due the fact of
the humiliation and depressed condition of the
South. But for him the Southern people would
have had much earlier peace and much bet
ter terms. When the union and confederate
conference met long before the surrender of
Lee, the GOyernmsnt woul have IN content
with two results, the abandonment OF secession
and the abolition Of slavery, and left the south
ern states to their own local governments. But
JEFF. Davis pig-headedness made any such set
uement impossible, and the South was COM
PEELED to fight 1t out to the bitter end and ac-
eept the bitter penalties. JEFF Davis has been
the bane OF the South, and the Southern people
