Anyone can make the game fOrhim-
self by cutting the little squares from
cigar box, or dividing the bottom of
a square pastcboard box, first into
quarters and then into sixtccnths. and
using the lid Of the box, which will.
of course, just contain thc.n. Or #
can be played with counters on ouor-
ter section of a chcckcr-bonrd. The
game as it is sold in the shops, how
ever, is more convenient, and it can be
had anywhere for a quarter or even
less.
TIE PUZZLE.
The early moves of the game orc
simple enough. Starting with the |
and working it gradually toward the
corner, and following with tho 2. and
so on, q beginning is easily made.
iheh you start this line in procession
around the sides Of the box, gradually
working the numbers in in the requir-
ca order. This process cannot be de-
scrlocd mnutcly, but one soon dis
covers certain sort Of method iii it,
and it looks as though the solution of the
puZZlc were only question of time
ana patience. Grandually the lines
are formed: l, 9, 8, 4; 5, 6, 7, 8, and
so on. Victory is ut hand, and the
player subducs his excitement as best
he can, while the lookcrs-on saw: "Ic
has it," But he hasn't. Although so
near, tho end is yet so far that san
guinc hope soon gives way to despair.
After working for longer or short
er time, according to the Familiarity
OF the player with the method of the
thing, this is the way it comes out:

From the Philadelphia Times.
Various accounts have been given
Of the invention Of the "Fiftecn Came"
otherwise known as tho "Gem Puz-
zle" which is just now having run
second only to that Of "Pinafore."
According to one story it is the in
vcntion Of deaf mute in Hartford,
wi no made it for the entertainment OF
the inmates of the asylum where he
lived, without thought Of. the insane
asylums for which it seems likely to
make so many patients. Another
story ascribes the thing to the post
master ut Canastota, n. Y, who gave
the game to Il lady III Syracuse, who
sent it to a lady at Watch Hill, who
took it home to Hartford, where q
Boston man saw it, and SO ON. But
whoever invented it, it is the manu-
facturcrs who are reaping the profit.
tits not patented, but tho manufacture
appears to have been confined thus far
to two New England firms, who arc
said to have been turning out the
games at the rate Of six or eight thou
sand day and still hardly TO have
supplied the demand. The puzzle is
to be seen everywhere. From the
Judge OH the bench to the bootblack on
the sidewalk, everybody is puzzling
over it. The scientific people are dis
cussfng it, and for the last few days
the newspapers have been full of 1t.
The apparatus consists Of sixteen little
squares Of wood, numbered consccu-
tive from one to sixteen, and fitting
exactly In shallow square box. In
use, the square numbered l6 is rcmov-
cd, and there is thus one blank space
left, which allows the blocks to slide,
one square at time, and they arc
thus to be arranged without removing
them from the box. The fifteen
squares being mixed and placed in
discriminatory in the box, the problem
is to arrange them in regular arithmct-
ical series, as in the following dia-
gram:

Philadelphia Times.
The post offie laws which cut off the
mails Of the rascals who conduct
swindling enterprises are we'll enough
III their way, but they go hardly far
enough. They ought to take some
cognizance Of tho fools who support
these rascals by sending them money.
These senders of money are not all
pure fools. Some of them are half
fool and half knave, and many arc
more largely made up Of knavishness
than offolly. We're it not for them the
swindlers could not live. We arc told
BY the author Of Hudibras that ono
doubt the pleasure is as great of being
cheated as to cheat" Thus do these
victims enjoy the fun Of patponizing
one swindlcr after another. A repre-

lie finds out that there is no such

sends to some other swindIing concern
thirty or forty cents for large diction-
ary, but finds the work so small MS to
he altogether invisible. Then he
sends dollar for six solid silver table
spoons, or for a gold watch, or for a
diamond earring. One Of the queer
est things in regard to tho Intercepted
correspondence of some Of the swind-
lers Is that the same fools appear az
customers Of a variety of the swind-
lers. a man who tries to got some
thing for nothing, or great deal for
nearly nothing, may be sct down rs a

CoTToN MILLS IN TIE SoUru.-A
oonthcrn contemporary alludes, with
pafdohable pride, to the prosperity of
thc various small cotton factories that
nave been started in South Carolina
Wltnm TWO or three years. Most
Northern people will rejoice with our
southern friends that the experiment
OF working up cotton at home, instead
OF sending a.! oft from one to three
thousand miles away, has been sue
ccssfally tried in the South, and they
wlll nope that manufacturing will not
DC restricted to single variety of raw
maternal. Nearly every industry
wmGh IN the Northern States and
England has flourished is practicable
In tho South; woods, metals, coal and
water power are abundant, and the
iaoof supply, If not sufficient to the
demand, would soon become 80. Aside
ifrom the Immediate benefits enjoyed
bya community when manufacture
comes to the aid Of agriculture, the in
direct. results are Invaluable. Life
and property Immediately demand
ana receive new safeguards when
capital and industry arc represented
by something besides land and crops:
occasional concentrations Of popula-
non tend to q moro general increase Of
ihtciiigence; market values Of all
nome products are enhanced, and tho
"mlddieman" who, under ono name
or another, keeps many q sparsely
settled ncighborhood poor, is to q
