THE "FIFTEEN PUZZLE" PLAGUE.

As the community is considerably e1er-
cised over the Fifteen puzzle" affair, the fol-
lowing explanation may be of assistance to
those who are struggling with the game
The only essentials for the puzzle are fifteen
squares OF equal size, numbered from one to
fifteen inclusive, and square frame of an
exact size TO hold in four equal lines sixteen
squares of the size of one of the fifteen small
ones. The fifteen small squares having been
put IN the frame in any order, calculated or
chance, the puzzle is to arrange them in four
horizontal lines, the top three to be full ones
Of four squares each the bottom one, of the
three remaining squares; all the squares,
commencing ut the upper left-hand corner, to
be in numerative sequence such arrange
ment to be effected by moving into the one
small vacancy which would have been occu-
pied by sixteenth square land the location Of
which vacancy is of course changed by each
novel, one Of such small squares only as
shall abut on such vacancy. The unpreten-
tious apparatus for the experimental solution
of the puzzle, and now on feverishly hurried
trial in nearly every building on the coast, is
sixteen thin blocks Of wood, with upper
edges beveled, each half an inch square, and
all set in a covered paper box, the bottom
of which. three inches square, serves as the
frame in which the numbered blocks are to
be moved The top of the box having been
removed, the block numbered 16 laid aside,
and the remaining fifteen promiscuously dis
arranged in the frame, the pilgrim, "burning
with high hope" sets forth for the desired
goal. A very methodical way of effecting
the sequence whence such is possible is 20 re-
duee the initial disorder into the arrangement
shown in this diagram:

I The Hon. James Jef1ries reached
home on Thursday last. He has just
returned from an extended Northern
tour. We are pleased to report that
he is in excellent health and th..t he
brings gratifying intelligence of the
political situation throughout the
North. General Hancock's supper
tiers are daily receiving accessions
from among those who have been
life long Republicans, and there is
no doubt of his triumphant election.
Mr.. Jetfries was among the first of
the prominent citizens of Louisiana
to advocate the nomination of Gene
raj Hancock. We took occasion in
our last to say that Mr.. Jeffries was
the choice of the majority of the vo-
tiers in this District for Congress-
That his election will follow if be is
nominated there is no shadow of
doubt, and that LouisianaMill have
in him an able, energetic and con-
scientious representative, wfo will
guard her every interest, is equally
we'll assured.
