That Puzzling Wagon Wheel.

To the Editor of the Enquirer:
A brief article in the Enquirer OF Sun
day, November 10. says: "Proof tha,
the top of a wagon wheel when running
along on the ground moves faster thar
the bottom is given, according to the
Scientific American, by instantaneous
photographs Of a wagon 10 rapid mo-
ton"
The most singular fact appearing in
the above statement is that proof BY
such means was necessary, for the facl
sought to be proved is plainly "obvious'
when we consider that the outside ol
rim of the wheel has velocity around
its axis exactly equal to the velocity ol
the wagon; and when the two motions
are in the same direction, viz: at the tor
OF the wheel, the veIocity-compared to
q stationary Objects ttoice as great IS
that Of the wagon; and when it is in the
contrary direction-at the bottom OF the
wheel-it is for the instant at rest The
velocity of any part Of the wheel is TINS
increased or diminished as the motion oi
that part of the wheel approaches or re
cedes from direction parallel to that o.
the wagon. | y Il ~ f. r. u.

Coming down on the X. and d. NJ. K.

up to . woman who was occupied by a
baby, aud in return was occupying two
seats, one for herself and the infant to
cit on, the other, with the hack turned,
for q bandbox, and few Of the inevita.
BILE parcels, which q woman always car
ries, because she always buys valises too
small to hold what she wants to travel
with, or travels with so many wants that
she can't find valises enough to hold
them.
The benevolent old gent ambled up
to this woman, made his best bow laid
his hand on the seat facing her, and ask
ed ii it was occupied. The woman's
look, as she glanced at the bandbox and
parcels, said that it was, but her voice
said "no," and the b. o. g., not being &C
customed to reading looks, slid into the
seat and beamed pleasantly on the lady
Presently silence grew monotonous, ano
the elderly individual, amid the clattel
of the wheels and the rattle Of the rails
spoke up and said:

The President is credited with saying
that the result OF the election in the
Southern States would have been differ
ent had some eminent Northern Repub-
lican speakers gone down there to take
part In the canvass. This is very true,
but respectable and influential Northern
Republicans would hardly 60 down to
ask the Southern voters to elect to Con-
gress such men as many who held the
Republican nominations there. How,
for instance, would Senator Conkling OIL
Senator Blaine have felt urging the vo'
ters of Louisiana to send Madison Wells
or atom Anderson or Chief Justice
Ludeling to Congress Yet these were
all Republican and greenback candidates
What effect would have been produced
had these three WORTHLESS exchanged
stumps with Mr. Conkling and Genera
Hawley and gone through New Yorl
and Connecticut advocating the Repuh
licap and greenback cause4 The North
ern Republican orators knew what the
were about when they declined to spea
in the Sopth for Southern Repablica
candidates; they were not inclined t
dirty themselves with such company.

The Bankers state Their Terms.


There is no doubt that the New York
banks have made an arrangement with
Secretary Sherman to facilitate his plan
Of specie resumption after January lst
The only point at issue in the plan sub
mitted by the bankers representing the
New York Clearing house Association is
that the Treasury is to settle its debts 81
the Clearing house instead OF the Sub
Treasury, as at present, and that the
Secretary OF the Treasury shall with
draw the greenbacks Of 81 and 81 de
nominations, with view 10 making
place for an equal amount of silver tt
be put into circulation. Sherman is
little afraid of the business people OF
the two latter propositions, although th'
fact is that he has been boarding th'
ones and twos for nearly year, with
view to have silver help him out.

EEThe Constitutional Convention OF
California has voted that whipping Is
Aos to be regarded as cruel and unu-
sual punish ment. Not long ago an eff.
fort was made In the California Legisla-
tufe to establish whipping as a penalty
for wife-beatiDg, but nothing came OF IT
The whipping post exists by law in Yir.
ginia and Delaware, and the action OF
the California Convention indicates tha,
public opinion in that State is largely in
fasor OF adopting that mode of punish
ment for certain crimes. A law was en-
acted in Nevada, about two years ago
providing that brutal husbands should
be whipped. and poets were set up II
several towns, but we believe that th'
act was promptly declared unconstitu
tional, and never enforced,
