HENRYvILLE, March, 10Th, 1875.
THEo. SCHOCH Dear Sir:-In your
issue of the 4th inst, you say my solution OF
j. Zabriskie's puzzle" is incorrect Now
it does not make any material difference to
me whether you call it the one thing or the
other, but am not convinced yet that the
solution as given by me is incorrect and |
have good authority to bear NE out in that
assertion. Prof. Stoddard, who has pub
lished whole series Of Arithmetical books,
which are Of Il high standard too In his
Mental Arithmetic he has a similar question
to the one referred to, and he gives the
explanation, as gave it, The first lot at
the rate Of for 3 cents and the remainder
at cents each. Now as far as the condition
of the question is concerned, | can see no
difference in the two solutions given. | do
not dispute the correctness Of the solution,
as given in your paper, but do maintain
that if the one is right, the other is right
also, for the principle is all the same, the
only difference is, in the one case the price of
the apples as sold, is proportionally three
times higher. Therefore | say in conclusion
land think you will agree with me when
you have examined it carefully that both
ways are correct. In the one case Mev
all received 10 cents for their apples and in
the other 80 cents.
] see in this week paper you have'a good
supply of "puzzles" on hand so | will not
send you any at this time. May do so occa-
sionally. Yours Respectfully,
S. DATEsMAN.

The Kentucky library lottery, the tick
cts for which were lavishly advertised all
over the country-in this State in viola
ton Of law-turns out to have been the
biggest kind Of swindle, It appears that
much less than the whole number of tickets
had been sold at the time Of the drawing
at Louisville, and the prizes were all scaled
down accordingly. After they had held
the drawing, nobody was able to tell who
held the fortunate cards for the larger
prizes, while the approximate prize list
is even yet unsettled 1t is now said that
legal proceedings viii be taken to compel
the managers Of the fraud to fulfil their
promises The only certain thing about
the whole business is that thousands of peo-
pie have been induced to buy the lottery
tickets, often with money that they could
poorly afford to spare, in the delusive hope
that they might possibly receive fortune
This money has gone into hands from which
it cannot be reclaimed, and there is very
little probability that cent Of it viii ever
so to the Library" about which so much
was said. There are good many news
papers in this part Of the country which
helped along this swindle, knowing at the
same time that they were transgressing the
law as well as aiding most nefarioUs bust
ness.

The House of Representatives at Har-
risburg presented on Friday last a scene of
disgraccful rowdyism that has never been
equalled. The session, which lasted all
night, is described as having been far worse
than a Fourth ward political meeting The
greatest disorder existed, and no attention
was paid to common decency by either the
Speaker or the mass of the members.
Dozens of bills were rushed through with
out reading or consideration, so rapidly
that the clerks gave up the job of keeping
even a list of them Patterson, the Speaker
after the House had been declared ad-
journed, called it to order again and kept
it in session until morning. Questions of
order were decided without the slightest
regard to parliamentary rules, but only to
suit the controlling majority 1t is long
since the State has been disgraced by per
formances of this kind, which appear to be
particularly enjoyed by the Democrats who
control the House. 1t is fortunate that
the Senate remains steady and true, for
upon that body rests all the responsibility
of correcting the foolish and partisen va
carries of the other branch. If the people
of Pennsylvania are not already heartily
sick Of the Democratic House they elected
last fall, they are in fair way to become
so before its term is .endcd.-BucAs Co.

The old sw-indling device of the patent
safe" has recently gone into vogue on rail
way ears. 1t consists Of small brass pad
lock with. several ingenious combinations
for locking without key. The swindle is
generally conducted as follows One Of
the sHrindlers approaches person whom he
considers yerdant enough for his purpose,
and exhibits the paddock, asking him if he
can open it. If the man bite" he will IN
dertake to open the paddock and fail, when
the swindler shows him a concealed spring,
by which it is unlocked. At this moment
a confederate approaches and inquiries what
puzzle they have. He is shown the pad
lock, undertakes to open it, fails, and offers
to wager ten dollars that no one in the
crowd except the owner can open it. Yer
dant gentleman takes the bet, puts up the
money, tries to open the paddock, and fans,
a second combination having been changed
by the confederate.
