A Puzzle,
A puzzle composed of eight monosyllables,
containing twenty-eight letters, twenty-two of
which are discarded because they are used more
than once. The other six represent the follow
ing numbers, respectively : P No 1, R No. 10,
B No. 13, H No. lit, C No. 22, M No. 24. Fill
up the other 22 numbers with letters correctly
placed, and my whole will be a piece of good
advice which all ought to follow.
CHAT WITH CONTRIBUTORS.
Our Contributors—We can certainly pride our-
and boots, assume a bold front, and solicit an
interview with the young ladies. You’ll find
that they are not at all dangerous.
T. M., Richmond, says: “A young friend
and myself had a controversy in regard to the
expression, ‘A looker-on in Vienna.’ He con
tends the italicised word should be Venice. As
we could not agree on the question, we propose
to submit it to yon, and abide your decision.”
. . . “A looker-on in Vienna" is the correct
quotation. The line occurs in Sliakspeare’s “Two
Gentlemen of Verona.”
Eastman. Columbus, Ga., says: “Settle A little
dispute I had with a friend concerning steel
pens. Are they or are they not made by ma

through from fifteen to twenty-five different
pairs of hands in its progress from the long
strip of steel to the paper box in which it leaves
the factory.

POLITICS.
STATE AX'D NATIONAL.
BY A LIVE POLITICIAN.
The success of Hayes in Ohio has cooked Gen.
Grant's political goose. He's a dead cock in the
pit. Grant has more strength than any other one
Republican; yet, the party does not want him.
Therefore, the success of Hayes will give the
party confidence enough in its strength to risk a
race on some other man. A good many of the
Republicans honestly dislike the third term
precedent Grant's re-election will set, while oth
ers f» ar its effect before the people. So the co
alition between hard-money and Radicalism has
effectually shelved Mr. Grant. Thank God for j
small favors.
If a few men had all the horses in the United
States, those men would be opposed to the im
portation of more horses, because it might les
sen the value of theirs; and if not that, it would
create a competition in the trade of horses.
Now, the Northern and Eastern people have all

ENIGMAS.
Attention, Enigma-Maker*.
We call the special attention of those who
favor us with enigmas to the following letter,
and beg them to be more particular in future.
We have not the time to work out the enigmas,
to see if they are correct, and must therefore
rely upon those who send them in. Mistakes
are annoying to those who work them:
“Sunny South,—I have thought for sometime
I would ‘ take you to task' for the mistakes in
your enigmas. They are hnrd enough to solve
when they are ‘all right;’ but when the words
are misspelled and some of the numbers left out,
is a fellow to know when they are right,—
or rather, how is he to get them right ? Some time
ago, I came across one that looked interesting,
and thought 1 would work for the answer. It
contained twenty-four letters, and the only thing
l I could get to ‘fit' was, ‘Subscribe to The Sunny
South.' In due time the answer came; it was,
j ‘Subscribe for The Sunny South.’ Now, how
can you or any one else spell ‘ Subscribe for The
; Sunny South’ with twenty-four letters? When
your last issue reached me, I thought ‘ Enigma
No. 14’ looked exceedingly interesting, and set i
to work on it immediately. You can imagine

and poems are all marked by the thoughtful,
modest, yet earnest and feeling character, which
is the Southern type. Read our sprightly “Let
ters”. They almost obviate the necessity of any
regular Criticisms on new books or periodicals,
or chnt concerning fashions; and they give
graphic glimpses into those ever-changing kalei
doscopes, the metropolitan centres, both North
and South.
Mrs. inquires: “Who is your pleasant
Letter-writer, ‘Flora Belle?’ And will yon not
ask her to give ns a description of the Martha
Washington tea parties, so frequently spoken of
in the papers, that we ‘Provincials’ may know
what they are?” Flora Belle is the nomine de plume
of an accomplished young lady of New Orleans,
who, as she has the entree to the best fashiona
ble Circles, can very probably give you all de
sired information concerning the Martha Wash
ington tea party.
Alice, a school-girl, sends us her “first story”
for publication. First stories, like first attempts
of all kinds, are apt to be failures. Even genius
flutters rather than flies at a first trial of its
wings. Charlotte Bronte's “Professor” was
rather a poor affair, and Miss Evans’ “Inez" was
scarcely worthy being the “shadow cast before”
“Beulah.” Alice wishes to know why we do not
have more stories. We could not have more

and grave; the scientific, political and news mat-

J. Z. Moore, Warrior Stand, says: “I have a
copy of the ‘Phonographic Teacher,’ by E.
Webster, revised by Andrew J. Graham, and
would like for you to explain to me how to go
about learning the alphabet on the twenty-third
page of said book. Please explain. I am very
anxious to learn the method of ‘short-hand.”’
. . . The alphabet mentioned (we take it, not
having the book at hand) refers to the conso
nant stems, or signs. These can be best learned
by writing them repeatedly until the name in
stantly suggests the form to the writer. It is
important to have these signs at instant com
mand.
Carl, of Augusta, writes: “I think I have ar
tistic talent. What must I do to improve it? I
am too poor to go abroad.” . . . Study the best
pictures you have access to, and compare them
with nature. Make nature your closet-study,
and observe her in every detail. A knowledge
of anatomy is also indispensable to an artist. If
you have real talenf. it will push its way up to
the light. You ask, “Can I make the profes
sion of an artist a paying one?” Yes, if yon
achieve proficiency. If j’ou never succeed in
painting grand pictures and growing rich by
their sale, yon can always obtain a modest com
petency by illustrating books and periodicals,
or elaborating designs for manufactures.

coming in to our sanctum with these and other
reminders of the “ melancholy days” fresh in
our mind, it was a charming surprise to find our
desk piled with fruits and flowers—a rare bou
quet, and a crimson heap of pomegranates, glow
ing like great ruby globes. A note lying a-top
the graceful gift tells us that it is from onr
esteemed friend Mrs. Steven Smith, of West End.
The pomegranates were sent her from Newnan,
where they grew in the garden of the learned
rency, w hen, ns a matter of fact, their <ffort was
to prevent the Republicans and hard-money
men from contracting it. It is possible for the
country to survive the present status of the cur

Anna, of Milledgeville, asks: “What has be

Brynn and Mollie E. Moore- Sallie Bryan, who
wrote such glowing poems for the Louisville
< ourier and the New York Ledger in the ante helium
days, and Mollie Moore, the gitted muse of
Texas, whose ‘Minding the Gap’was almost a
perfect poem ? Was Sallie Bryan a connection
of yours? Your last names are the same, and
your genius always seemed to me to be akin.”
. . . She is no connection, and we do not know
her present whereabouts. Mollie Moore is now
Mrs. Davis, and has a home in Virginia, “at the
foot of the Blue Ridge (so writes our mutual
friend, Mrs. Darden, of Texas), where she is re
alizing her fnirest dreams of married happiness.” j
She writes to Mrs. Darden that “it seems so
strange to find myself climbing, as I suppose
it does to all of us Texans, who yet glory in the
expansiveness and freedom suggested by our
wide-spreading prairies.”

At last, Stanley, the New York lferaUVs ex
plorer and correspondent, has reached, with his
party, after almost incredible hardships, the Vic
toria Nyanza by a new route, and further progress
will be through an entirely unknown country to
the civilized world and- among people whose
strange appearance, as reported to Stanley, might
even seem to furnish the connecting link that
the Darwinists only need. Wonderful tales are
told him of countries on the shore of the lake
where he is,—that one is peopled with dwarfs,
another has a breed of dogs so large that even
his mastiffs are small compared with them. In
one part of his route he found unmistakable ev
idences that the land was at one time the bed of
a vast sea. His means of traveling the lake Vic
toria. con -erning whose extent nothing is known,
is by the Lady Alice, a large boat which has been
carried by his attendants in sections, and with
which he hopes soon to start on his exploring
this untried sheet of wuter.
The defeat of Allen by Hayes in Ohio, makes
the latter a Radical hero. He now walks into
the ring of presidential candidates to contest
with Morton, Blaine, Conkling & Co.
While it was Eastern money and not Hayes
who won the battle, at the same time, people
who never look beneath the surface will give
Hayes the credit for it. So the world moves.

The coarse of Senator Thnrman in hobnobbing
with the BadicalB over the hard-money plank in
the Ohio platform, ought to place him out of
the pale of Democratic aspirants for the Presi

bond-holders for the tax-payers of the United
States.
The rigors of the winter are now in the near
future, and the thousands upon thousands of the
poor who will shiver with cold and cry for bread,
are eloquent advocates for a Democratic Presi

rule, they will have a change. That change will
come in this country.'

Problems.
A. E. E. solves problem in last issue of pop
ular book agent by three statements, compound
pioportion, and proposes another.
Hist—If 12 oxen eat 3^ acres in 4 weeks, how
many acres will 21 oxen eat in 9 weeks. Answser—
131 acres.
Now, the first 4 weeks the grass was uniform,
hence it must grow 31 acres in 5 weeks on the 10
acres.
Second—If the growth amounts to 3{ acres in
5 weeks on 10 acres, what must it amount to in
18-4 weeks on 24 acres ? .Answer—21 acres in the
18 weekR.
Hence, the required oxen will have to eat
24x21 acres.

We understand that it is very fashionable for
ladies to use peach kernels for flavoring custards
and preserves. There is much more risk at
tending the former than the latter, as custards
are eaten at once, before the prussic acid has
been dissipated into its basic element. Preserves
are generally kept for a time, and thus lose their
poisonous equalities. Some seasons develop more
of the noxious principles in fruits than others,
and some varieties of peaches and cherries have
more of them than others. As a general rule,
the more bitter the kernels, the more prussic
acid they are capable of evolving.
