george Francis Trains DIM
cult Problem.


While walking through Madison |
Square one bright day last week, my |
attention was called to genial form of
our old friend, George Francis Train,
who was trying before large number |
of girls and boys to solve the new toy |
called the sMikado Puzzle.''
I stopped to watch the operation.
"You see," said the venerable gentle@
man, speaking to the children, not to
me, "The object is to remove seven
bright-colored rings from one peg to
another without once placing a large
disc on the top of smaller one When
all the rings are taken thus, one by one,
in regular order, from the first peg and
puzzle is DONE"
While the philanthropist was work
ing away at the rings street vender
passed along and from him he purchas-
ed several more and distributed them
among the delighted children. Then,
as is his way, he drifted into talk with
| the man who volunteered the informa-
! ton "that the game was said to have
been invented originally by the Priest
! OF rahoma. The ancient Romans al
So" he was told, "were said to have
used it in some of their mathematical
calculations.
'Do you know" querried George
Francis, "the length of time it takes to
do the puzzle !"
SWELL" said the man, "that depends.
When person don't know how to do
/ it the more he works at it the less he
knows about it; and the chances are
that he may fetch up in the lunatic
asylum before he ever does find it out
But a scientific fellow, one of those who
has studied figures, says that the short
est time il can be done in is six min
, utes."
By this time the philosopher had got
off four of the rings, and thinking he
had solved the difficulty, asked the mar
sif it was true that the company had
offered one Thousand dollars reward IL

by Congressman Richardson's
daughter, who lives at Murfreesbo-
TO and is q close friend OF Charles

of Miss Murfree's friends in this
city know anything about him, ex-
cent that he is a farmer and lives
near Pulaski, Tenn. He has been
described as six-footer, burly, de-
voted to cattle raising and having
very little literary training.
Mr. Clifton Rodes is suspected.

Sending President Cleveland Pres
ent Adequate and Appropriate
to the Grand Occasion.

OF the hundreds of costly pres.
ents received by President Cleve-
land on the occasion of his mar
rage, probably none will be more
highly appreciated than that sent
from this city to-day. Certainly no
offering can be more appropriate
and no present could be more in
keeping with the grandeur Of the
occasion.
1t is of no considerable intrinsic
value. It's original cost must have
been trifling. But historical asso-
Citations have given it Importance
as relic, and value as a curiosity.
The donor has received numerous
offers ranging between five dollars
and five thousand, but steadily re-
fused to part with the cherished
relic until the occasion of the mar
rage of President Cleveland made
the white house the proper domicile
of the world renowned Cleveland S
cradle.
The remarkable history of this
piece of furniture was published in
full in the columns of the CITIZEN
sson after its discovery and fire.
quent references to it since that
time in this and other papers have
made the general reader perfectly
familiar with it. Its value as rel
&c can be estimated from the fact
that since the original publication
of it's history in the CITIZEN, every
live newspaper In the United States
and some of the leading European
journals have contained repeated
and extended notices of it. 1t was
the subject of considerable contro-
versy among the New York dailies
