Extraordinary Faculty.

There is ia the Philadelphia Institution for
the Blind pupil named Barras, who has the
faculty orcomputalon so rapidly
that you may ask him what was any day OF any
pas, year, or what will be any day OF any year
10 come, and he answers you with perfect ac'
curacv, almost Immediately. For instance,
YOU say. "Wcll, what day was the goth OF jan
uary, l840?" lie tells you instantly. II you
ask, what day will be the 5ih OF February,
1902 again he answers nj once. In fact, you
can ask him no question which he will not
promptly and correctly answer. And yet this
bow never had the least instruction III mathc-
mates to bring out his faculty. When he
entered the Pennsylvania Institution he was re-
q ,rded as almost an idIor; he was de!orlned, be-
Ing drawn down by the neg igence with which
he had been permitted for years and years to
sit in the corner by the Preside in a state Of
absolute vacuity of mind By the exceIence of
physicaI culture ne is now nearly erect; and by
The combined efforts o(the benevolent leaders,
he has also been astonishingly improved IN his
mental powers.
How this boy makes his exact computation

THE RUSSIAN SERF SYSTEM.-Ihe New York
American is publishing a series OF "LettorS
from the Old World" by lady of New York,
which are of most interesting character
They are written with great vlvaclty, spirit
and ability. The writer has an admirable lac
ulty of avoiding tediousness in detail. Her
descriptions are full of life, spirit and interest
and proclaim the author to be lady OF high
order of genius and requirements We have
derived much pleasure and instruction IRON
pcrusaI of her letters.
From one of them we copy the subIolned
highly interesting description OF slavery as 1t
exists in Russia. The letter from which we
make the extract describes the writer's journey

offered aud refused in other cases. A very
extensive building was shown me in Moscow,
as an Hospital, built by Cheremetef, for sick
slaves from his estate. In general the serf
system is prelerred by the peasantry, as it rids
them from many burthens which he govern
ment imposes on the free citizens. They can
almost always comnote their time for very
small annual sum, and, in case oil sickness or
aceldenl, can come back upon the estate for
support. Those who have not the ambition or
d sire to commute (and the mas is composed
o. sach,) must be supported by the estate to
which they belong, when the crops fail. With
SUCH any attempt TO abolish the scrl system
would create revolt. Before emancipation

FEMALE INFLUENCE.

II has been asserted by great French wri-
ter. that woman moulds the character Of ma
lion. Napolean said the mother formed the
man. Ifthis he true, the Importance of early
female culture is too obvious to need pointing
out to the most superficial observer of national
character. 1t has been conceded on all stiles
that nearly all the eminent men, eminent either
for good or evil, have hal mothers to whose
training they owe thai eminencc. The moth
of Washington is a brilliant m ,dern example
of maternal Influence, wisely and juiiciousIy
exerted, producing the most glorious result.
She pointed the son to high aim; she taught
him thai virtue and greatness are synonymous;
that moral courage is The soul OF physical
bravery; that disSmulation and talsehooI are
incompatible with true greatness. She had
her reward; for her son stands rec rded on the
historians page pre-em nanlly cool as great,
In reading his lie, the hero, the warrior, the
statesman and the philosopher all are comhn-

ANEcDorE OF Dr.. CHANcEY-Dr. Cooper, who
was IL man ofacco npshed manners, and fond
of society, was able, by the aid of his fine tai

escape the envy and malice OF the world, and it
was said, Ia kind ofpelulent aud absurd exag-
geration, that he used 10 walk to the south end
