HISTORY OF THE GAME OF FIFTEEN.--lt Is
said that the game of " Fifteen was invent
ed by N. P. Chapman. postmaster of Canas,
tota, N. Y. The first one of the games in-
vented found its way into the hands OF
Syracuse lady, who gave it to an invalid lady
at Watch Hill, R. I. This lady took 1t home
to Hartford, Conn.,, where it attracted con-
siderable attention. A Boston firm soon be-
gan manufacturing 1t. 1t was notlong before
two firms were engaged in the manufacture
of the blocks. Firm No. tried to block the
game of firm No. 2, but could not, because
the invention was not patented. The puzzle
is being manufactured at the rate Of two
thousand day. The number of possible
combinations is said to be 1897 ,674, 36S, 900,
but there are hundreds of people who firmly
believe there are ten times as many ways in
which 1t can't be done.-[ Utica Herald

any rate. But it is not going to make the
Democratic party in Maine any more re-
spected.
Not at all. That party has shown that it is
willing to swallow its record, no matter how
unsavory it may be; to go. back upon
all its Jacksonian and Jeffersonian pro-
LESSONS and to work and vote for
any candidate that the soft money men
choose to name. 1t is not a pleasant position
to see great party in, but Mr.. Torrey and his
allies have put this one there. Anything is to
be sacrificed this year if success can be OBJ
tanned, and if this year, OF course every year.
Of the organs of the party one has already
gone away over to the Greenback side-a daily
paper, too Another has no preference be-
tween gold and sawdust or any other "cheap"
money. And'the rest only want to do what
they can toward beating the Republicans.
They follow their blind guides.
Now what is to become of such a party?
Here are hard-money Democrats, who for for
ty years, have been swearing by Jackson and
Benton, turning round and expressing a will
lingness to vote for any candidate that Ben
Buffers friends choose to pick out. Here are
the men who have been denouncing fraud at
Washington coming up to the support of Frank
Fogg and Capt. Chase and the rest of the men
who did the counting out, and who glory in it.
Here is the successor of Marcellus Emery, who
for twenty years fought on the unpopular side
who fought there until he died.. and would
have kept on fighting there for hundred
years if he had lived. talking in way to con-
ciliate the Greenbackers, in whom he does not
believe, for the sake of getting their votes.
Emery was an honest man. He was an old
school Democrat-not one of the Torrey style,
who believe in anything to beat"
When the Democrats of Maine snow not only
willingness but an ecstatic desire to support
any man the Greenbackers may name for Gov
ernor, and to vote for Frank Fogg and T. H.
Murch for Congress, and to do whatever else
their last years allies may require of them, to
do their share towards whitewashing the men
of contingent fame and toward elevating in
to power any discounted Republican who has
gone into the Greenback ranks, the question
arises IN the observers mind: Is not this queer
Democracy?
