In our issue of the Oath appeared the fol
lowing:
PUzzLE.-A cockney bought few eggs
took them to his lodgings, boiled them hard,
ate them and went to bed. Not falling
asleep. he began to reflect. talking to himself
thus: Sow many heggs have 1 het? ad a
shilling's worth and hasked the price by the
dozen, which the 'uckster q told me and
which l caunt remember. If it ,ad been Just
one penny less per dozen might ave 'ad two
heggs more for my shilling. That ought to
tell the price some'ow Let me see p He
meditated, added, puzzled multiplied, di-
vided and subtracted for some hours, but at
last exclaimed: "This is too ard for me.
will count the shells in the morning." and so
fell asleep.
Some of our young arithmetcians may find
amusement is ascertaining the number of
eggs bought and the price per dozen.
We have received two answers, one of
which we subjoin, both of which are correct,
although the result is arrived at by different
processes.
New ORLEANS, August "a, 1875.
Mr.. Edtor-The following is the answer to
the puzzle in yesterday evenings BULLETIN,
regarding the Englishman who bought shil-
ling's worth of eggs, forgot how many he re-
ceived, but remembered that if they had been
sold one penny per dozen cheaper he would
have got two more eggs for his shilling.

THE VACANT JUDGESHIP.
The Candidates.

There is considerable talk about the Gus
tom-House relative to the vacant judgeshiy
of the United States District Court. It il
stated that the odds are in favor of Beck
with at present, but Pardee has many friends.
limitations from Washington show that the
probabilities are that stranger will get the
appointment, but West claims he has the
position within his giving.
1t is said the President is holding the ap-
pointment open until the next campaign
opens, and that it will then be given to some
one who can WELD an influence in the politi-
cal affairs of the State. As it is now, there is
heavy docket in the court, and bankrupt
cases are daily increasing, and, if something's
not done there will be an utter defeat of
justice.
The several aspirants are working, and
Kellogg, it is limited, has correspondent with
the President on the subject. As the Office is
one of the most important in the State, atten-
ton should be given the subject by our
people.

Venerable Trees.

It has been claimed that the cypress Of
Sonma. Lombardy, is the oldest tree on rec
ord, but late writer overthrows the claim by
stating that there is at Anuradhapura, in Cey-
Ion, bo-tree that was planted B. G. 2SS-
that is, 246 years before the Lombardy cy-
press sprang into being The bo-tree is so
decrepit with age that it would have blown
down long ago were it not for strong wall

from the tree is picked up with pious care by

part of their temple. The leaves are thence

THE sun.
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1870.

The approach OF the Presidential elect
ion gives unusual importance to the events
and developments OF 1875. We shall en-
deayor to describe them fully, faithfully
and fearleSsly. /,
THE WEEKLY Sun has now attained
circulation OF over seventy thousand cop
les. and its quality is well known to the
public. We shall not only endeayor to
keep it fully up TO the old standard, but to
improve and add to its variety and power.
THE WEEKLY sun will continue to
be thorough newspaper. All the news
of the day will be found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length when OF
! moment, and always, We trust, treated IN 4
clear, interesting and instructive manner;
1t is our aim to make the WEEKLY 81 \
the best family newspaper inthe world. II
will be full OF entertaining and approprl-
ate reading OF every sort, but will print
nothing to ofendthe most scrupulous and
delicate taste. It will always contain the
most interesting stories and romances OF
the DAY, carefully selected and leslbly
printed.
The Agricultural Department is a promi,
nent feature in the WEEKLY Sun, and
its articles will always be found fresh and
useful TO the farmer.
The number OF men independent in pol.
! itics is increasing, and the WEEKLY Sun
is their paper especially. Il belongs to no
party, and obeys no dlctation, contending
Tor principle, and the election OF the best
men. Itexppses the corruption that DIS
graces the country and threatens the over
throw of Republican institutions. i has
no fear OF lnaycs, and seeks no farors nom
, their supporters.
The markets Of every kind and fashion,
are regularly reported.
The price OF the WEEKLY Sun is one
dollar year for sheet OF eight pages, and
fifty-six columns. As this barely pays the
expenses OF paper and printing, we are not
able to make any discount or allow any
premium TO friends who may make special
efforts toextcnd its circulation. Under the
new law, which requires payment OF post
age in advance, one dollar I year, with
twenty cents the cost OF prepaid postage
added, is the rate OF subscription. 1t Is
not necessary to get up club in order to
have the WEEKLY Sun at this rate
Anyone who sends one dollar and twenty
cents will get the paper, poStpaidfor j year.
