When asked to multiply C.YSS by 4J*die answered B.

Finally, however, lie I said that the correct answer must be ITS,-1 650, 60S, which was right. Fractions do not disconcert him. When j asked to multiply 66 1-8 by 6S 1-3 he gave the answer without hesitation. He was also asked to multiply 317 by itself, then multiply the product by 216 and that product by 84. Mora quickly than bis inter' rogator could put the figures on paper he sve the correct answer, via, 446,688,800. White's capacity for manipulation of figures la abnormally developed. He la a mathematical phenomenon. His precocity ras first observed when he was nine years >ld. His father, George White, of Liberty square, this county, was ciphering at the value of a quarter of beef, when Willie, hearing bow many pounds there were and the price, promptly gave the correct The young man does not undertake to explain the process by which he almost Instantaneously arrives at results which ordinarily are reached with the aid of pencil and paper aud the expenditure of consider able time.

How llsmlln Converted an Knemy. Hanibal Hamlin had avery strong politlsi enemy at Hampden, whesw political op position warn carried to tbc extreme of per aonal hate. When the rebcllloa had be : a fact and military lines were estate Itshed requiring passes to cross from the north to the south, this enemy of Hamlin found himself lu a dilemma. A daughter of hU lived ucar Fortress Monroe aud he was extremely anxious to visit her. He knew that be must get a pass from the sec retary of war to gratify his wish. He knew nobody to whom he could apply for It except Hamlin, and be did not wUh to ask aid of the man be had done so much to lu Jure. There was no alternative, however, so with fear aud trembling he approached, the then vice president. Hamlin heard hU request and then said In hU characteristic

way:

•'Jim, you know you have done everything to injure me. Von forget the old school copy that wo used to write fremit U a long road that has no turn.’ How can yon ask me to help you V “yes, squire," was the a boohed response. “I did quite wrong. I am sorry, but" “Well, Jim,” Hamlin Interrupted, 1 am going to do you Bible Justice. 1 am going to heap coals of fire ou your head. Come They went to Mr. Stanton's bouse and the vice president procured the pass aud gave It to Jim, telling him be need have no further anxiety, as he could now get hla daughter up to her Maine home. Jim broke down completely. It is needless to say that Mr. Hamlin made a convert for himself by that act.—New York Times SU Louis Not a Literary Ceuter. “This Is a strange old city in a literary way,” said a St. l<ouis man. "It has only a few book stores, wbose proprietors 1 con template more In the light of patriots than practical men expecting profits from cs. Very few St. Louisiana buy books They wall for the cheap editions to reach the public libraries aud then make a rush for them. Aud the libraries of aomeof our i» are frightful to coulemplatc. Think library without a dictloSvy or an eu cyclopedia In It. "The average St. Ixtuls library u^sude up In this order First, a complete scln4i Dickens' works; second, a complete act of Thackeray's works; third. Motley's His lory of the Dutch Kcpubllc. fourth. Pm cott's histories; fifth, Byron In several kinds of fancy binding aud gilt edges sixth, Shakespeare lu ditto: sereuth. Moore and Scott, ditto. Here the list practically ends, and all the rest can he classed as unknowable miscellany, odds and cuds of old trash brought down from geucr at ions or received as holiday presents. “And the worst of.lt is, tlie prime object of a library appears to be the ability to say we have our, for 1 have noticed that most of our people who have these adornments lock them up and borrow Soutbworih and Bracme from the public libraries. Vet we are all critics'"—St. Louis Krpubllc.
