A Wonderful Phenomena.

We received3 visit this afternoon from a
young man named Meredith Holland, from
Kentucky, who has a marvellous gift for cal
culating figures. A variety OF questions that
would have required hours of calculation be
fore an ordinary individual would be able 10
give an answer, were answered instantly BY
young Holland, and in every instance with
perfect correctness. He tells The day of the
week upon which any date fell since The
commencement of time, and he can tell
with equal readiness what days dates will
fall upon for millions of years 10 come
This result is attained 10 without a moments
hesitation, and among great variety of the
most difficult problems of this kind, he was
not detected in single error He also adds
up or multipies almost any number of fig
ures, and gives the results Instantly aud in.
varisby correctly. -
The most wonderful of all is. that this
marvellous human calculating machine is
almost entirely uneducaied: he ia very feeble
IN intellect, and moreover his memory is
very defective. He has no knowledge of
written figures, and is entirely upacquanled
with arihmetcal rules. He has no knowI-
edge OF how he reaches the wonderful results
he aitains, and, 10 use his own phrase, they
seem 10 come to him. His story is, tina,
this marvellous gift, or, intuition, was first
developed when he was four years old. A,
ak and seven he was attacked with epileptic
fits, and these attacks continue 10 this time.

way interfering with his faculty for calcula-
