How Did She Do It. Eleven Bedrooms for Twelve Travelers
A Boston chambermaid allegedly housed twelve commercial travelers into eleven bedrooms with one bed per room. She assigns two men to room No 1 then sequentially to rooms 2 through 10, returns to No 1 with the twelfth man, and directs him to No 11, claiming it is empty. The puzzle asks readers to find the fallacy in this setup and identify the odd man out.

Artemus Ward on the Negro and public nuisance
Ward argues the African is not our sister or relative and should not be treated as such. He concedes some may claim kinship while asserting Africans are a nuisance and should depart to spare ongoing fuss. He likens miscegenation fears to rum and political graft.

Gambetta and the Duelling Issue in France
The article notes Bonapartist hostility to Gambetta and their use of dueling threats, praising Gambetta for refusing to engage and reporting his restraint as a civic virtue. It contrasts this with Granier de Cassagnac and argues dueling harms France’s civilization and credibility. It then shifts to census data from 1870 showing agriculture as the dominant sector with far greater capital invested than manufacturing, highlighting the agricultural workforce and farm values.

The South and carpetbag rule raise unrest in color line
The correspondence notes growing discontent among colored Americans with carpetbag rule. It argues federal backing preserves the color line outside Arkansas but hints at shifts to come as dishonest legislation disgusts honest Republicans and Democrats may loosen the colored vote’s grip, freeing the South from federal interference.
