The Squirrel Problem.

"A squirrel is up a tree and a man on
| the ground with a gun is trying to shoot
| it; but the squirrel persists in keeping
/ on the opposite side of the tree from
the man. The man walks clear around
| the tree to the place of starting, the
| squirrel going about in the same diree-
| ton and keeping the tree all the time
| between itself and~the man. Now the
problem is, HAS the man been around
the squirrel?' He has been around the
| tree with the squirrel on it, but has he
been around the squirrelr'
The Express invited answers to this
problem, and received twenty-seven, of
which fifteen say yes, the man does GO
around the squirrel, and twelve say no,
he does not. A few have sent us their
reasons, and two send figures demon
strating the problem. The following
answers are printed:
1. OF course the man goes around
the squirrel. He goes around the tree
and everything on it.
2. Should the squirrel have the start
am of the opinion that the man goes
around it.
3. Not by q darn sight does the hunt
er walk around the squirrel.
5. The man does not go around the
squirrel. Might as well claim that-by
having a horse s:taehed at A and an
other at Beach describing the same circle,
keeping at opposite sides of circle-the
horse at A would at every time going
around the ring 60 around the inside
half of B and that b returned the COM
pliment
A(- -X------)B
to A in the same manner simply because
the outside of one described a larger
circle than tho inside Of the other In
other words man or horse in describing
any circle goes around one-half of him.
self
5. The man goes AROUND the squirrel.
It is just like "a wheel within a wheel.
6. The man don't go around the
squirrel. / have tried it and had | got
around the squirrel i would have shot
it.
z. Ii there was no tree there and the
squirrel was running around in q circle
on the ground and the man was going
in a larger circle / should say the man
went around the squirrel. But when
you put a tree there it is different. The
man does not go around the squirrel on
the tree.
8. The man doesn't go around the
squirrel any more than tbs squirrel goes
around the man.
g. Of course the man doesn't 60
around the squirrel. Ii l am standing
on the nigh side of horse and start to
walk round him, and the horse keeps
turning as go. ] am on the nigh side
of him all the time, am i not? And
don't go around him if | am on the nigh
side of him all the time, do [? The case
is precisely similar to this of the squirrel
on tree. Buffalo Eapress.

f~-DEATH.
The thought of death is like haunting sense
or undiscovered worlds to some it seems
Like sweet future-land of lingering dreams
within the bosom of competence;
And yet to others it is darkness whence
NO radiant hope or promise ever gieams
long, untroubled night whose calm redeems
a HE OF Tnournful passion and pretense
| that have sought like other men to look
iH9yond Inc brief and circumscrbing years
Which round our being and vaguely yearnfnc
mind.
Think of my death as of an open book
wherein the secret of the soul appears.
ana all that we have wondered is OWNED.

That the bad effect on the Indians of habits they formed before and during Democratic sway, have not been entirely eradicated by the dissemination among them of well-wri.ten tracts, and harmless sol diers, during the twenty years of Repub- hcan rule, We are not prepared to deny; but that they are far better than they were under Democratic rule We stoutly asseverste. However, We are glad to note that our Bourbon friends will make no captions opposition to their removal, of the ''howling" Indians. Those who do not "howl," we infer, the Unterrified are content to let them re- main "quartered." K. X.
