Another Mathematical P Phenomenon.

The Dalton (Ga.) Times, says;
Last Sabbath, we met in this citv.
a man by the name of Meredith Hol-
land, a native of Monroe county, KY,
who can beat the world mathematic.
ally. He can answer any proposition
which may be submitted to him, and
do it without a moments delay,
We asked him how many seconds
there were in'four thousand years.
Scarcely had the question been sta
ted when the answer was accurately
given. This man looked like a coun-
try Hoosicr, and if it we're not forth
extraordinary mathematical gift with
which he has been endowed, he would
be regarded as almost an idiot. He
has travelled in company with several
gentlemen over large portion Of
Europe, and is about starting on q
tour throughout the United States.
He declares that every answer is pre-
ssnted to his mind simultaneously
with the question, and that therefore,
he undergoeS no mental efforts in
these mathematical exhibitions.

From the Wisconsin Patriot.l
A Portrait Well Drawn.

"Four years ago the Democracy
Of Wisconsin presented an unbroken
front to the common enemy. They
were united for the common purpose
they met their political foes-they
conquered-,they were inyincible-and
claimed the banner for giving the lar
gest majority of any State in the Un-
ion proportionate to the number of
voters. Where are they to-day Q
fiat as a pancake made of mud and tar.
From the proud eminence Of thirteen
thousand of a majority, they have
been hurled to a minority of fourteen
thousand. And what is the cause +?
1t requires no sooth-sayer or sor-
cerer to answer that question, The
party has played with edge tools
dull as old hoes, at that, and has got
cut--it has flirted with the political
cyprians, and got jilted--lt has slept
with pillering Shavers, scoundrels, AMI
knaves, and has got the baiber's itch
1t has breathed the pestiential mala-
ria fumimg from the liars Of old los-
ton, unprincipled, scurvy-heslcl,
milk-and-water, broken down, cast
off, leprous pukes, cancerous thieves,
suporannuated pickpocketS, trcasu-
ry plundering, refuse Abolition office
seekers, whiSky-soaked double-distil-
led bufoons and Penitentiary scala
wags-who have preyed and gorged
upon the party and the people, until
the substance of each is all exhausted
and they look as lean, and lank, thin,
savage and cadaverouS as twice starv-
ed hyenas, confined in the Dismal
Swamp Of terror and adversity, thro'
a thousand eternities of snow, sleet,
hail, rain, thunder, lightning, temp
eStS and irretrievable famine.
Such is the fatal malady that has
overtaken the Democratic party of
Wisconsin. Ithas been laid on thick
and fast with double coating shing-
led, mortared, plastered and rubbed
in until the party resembles more
the ghost Of a spring colt-Tdead, de-
ceased, and done for, without skin,
flesh, or bones--than any thing hav-
ing life, longevity vitality, or wide
awake competent parts.

Extension Of Suffrage to Women

IG. w. Curtis got off the following
on this subject, in a recent lecture in
New York:
| do not suppose if the polls were
opened tomorrow many but the ig-
norant women would avail themselves
of it. They would do as the men do
now. You have to look on the cloth
of the parlors and not on the slime Of
the grog shop for the cause of your
bad government. When | voted for
President, | entered a line with some
ten or twenty men, and in ten min.
utes had done all could to make
Mr.. Fremont President. [Applause. |
Is it improper for a woman to spend
half an hour at the polls, and highly
proper to be crowded for hours into
a lecture room or church, to hear pru-
ricnt poems in play, or sec the pref
ty spectacles of a play? Unmodest
for a woman to drop a ballot in a
box; but quite modest and lady-like
to whirl in polka in the arms Of a
man she never saw before, and have
her cheek famed by his tipsy breath?
That there are children now in some
cities who will one day go with their
wives to the ballot box as they do
now to the theatre or lyceum, Just
as firmly believe asI do that women
are quite as well informed as the men
on political subjects. sp

IrresoIution.

IrreSolution is habit which creeps
upon its victim with fatal facility.
1t is not vicious, but it leads to vice;
and many fine heart has paid the
penalty Of it at the scaffold. Tri-
fling as it appears in the wavering
footsteps of the young, as they grow
older its form changes to that of a
hideouS monster, which leads them
to destruction with their eyes open.
Tie idler, the spendthrift, the epicu-
rean and the drunkard, are among its
victims. Perhaps in the latter its ef-
fects appear in the most hideous form.
He knows that the goblet which he
is about to drain is poison, yet he
swallows it. He knows, for the ex-
ample Of thousands have painted it
in glaring colors, that it will deaden
all his faculties, take the strength
from his limbs and the happiness
from his heart, oppresS him with dis
ease and hurry his progress to a dis
honored grave. Yet he drains it un-
der q species Of dreadful spell, like
that by small creatures are said to
approach and leap into the jaws Of
the loathsome serpent, whose fcndish
eyes have facinated them.

ment. There was no choice by the
people-Jackson standing highest,
and Adams next, while Clay and
Crawford ran nearly alike, carrying
some four States each. The election
went to the House of Representatives,
where the Adams and Clay forces uni
ting, elected Mr.. Adams. In 1928
Adams and jackson were alone in the
field, the hero of New Orleans beat
ing his competitor by large ma
jority.
Here we have the origin Of the
present Democratic party. The most
thoroughly selfish, ambitious, disap-
pointed and broken down among the
Federalists and Republicans were its
fathers and main supports. The best
statesmen in both Of the old PARTIES
the most liberal and national-oppo-
sed jackson. The National Mtel6-
gencer was established at Washing
ton about the year 1900, under the
auspices of President Jefferson, and
continued to be the official organ Of
government through the twenty-eight
years of the administration of Jefer-
son, Madison, Monroe and Adams. 1t
opposed jackson, who caused the
Gl9be to be established. The present
senior editor Of the Intelligencer, the
the venerable Gales, was the editor
of that paper at the start. He would
now shake his white locks in derision
of Mr.. Everett's allusion to Jefferson
as the founder of the Democratic par
ty. So would the late Henry Clay,
and hosts of others, who struggled
side by side with Jefferson in the Re-
publican ranks. Down to the pres
ent day, the party organized under
the auspices Of Aaron Burr and other
disappointed politicians, and whose
first rally was upon General jackson,
has numbered among its firmest and
most influential supporters uncom-
promising opponents of Jefferson and
his policy. From the Inauguration
Of jackson to this time it has been n
party of spoils, held together by the
" cohesive power of the public plum
der" The administration of Jack
son was Acknowledgements a fearful
descent from the previous administra-
tons of Adams, Monroe, Madison and
Jefferson. From Jackson to Buchan-
an the progress Of Generalization has
continued through every Democrat
ic succession, until corruption has be-
come almost synonymous with "De-
mocracy." A more unjust and SLAM
derouS imputation could not be cast
upon Jefferson than the paternity Of
the degenerated Democracy of the
the present day.
