The baby market in New York is
active, judging by the advertisements of
that trade in the city papers, which show
q demand and supply of three or four
dozen per week. The adoption, or more
literally the sale, of innocents has at
tanned the dignity of regular business,
supporting number of establishments
and many private spectators. Strictly
speaking, it cannot be classed as pro
ductive industry, since the producers of
the commodity do not reap the profits,
those belonging entirely to the s'female
physician" who manages the sale. The
supply is secured from those mothers who
have become such "outside the conyen-
tional rules" as Mrs. Stanton phrases il.
and the demand is found among those
whose means and circumstances are ia
vorable, but to whom nature is not be-
nignant. The former are usually anx-
ious to dispose Of their encumbrances.
and the Inter to obtain such ornaments
of the household by purchase, if no other
means are possible. And in this thew
have the advantage of wives ostensibly
more favored, since the baby mart allows
OF wide selection, in which preferences
as to sex, complexion, size and disposi-
ton may, in great measure, be consulted.
Some purchasers prefer brnnettes. others
blondes, and the agents advertise their
merchandise In assorted parcels. Blondes
rule highest at present. first class spe-
clmen, with blue eyes, bringing 800.

Tuesday last, we learn that most brutal
and cowardly murder was perpetrated on
Monday afternoon, in Houston County,

WHAT A JILTED DAMsEn SHOULD Do
Horace Greeley gives the following ad-
vice to Tilted women, who contemplate
bringing suit for breach of promise: ga
deserted damsel, instead of bringing her
action, may say: Go, wretched man, be
happy if you can; but when you Join
that gay and festive throng, and other
eyes than mine look love to yours, re-
member that your perfdious vow, the
lying utterance of your serpent tongue,
the empolsoned honey of your perjured
lips, that moon, that walk, that declara-
ton sweet, the kiss that you first
offered dream of these until the per
jured brain no longer thinks, and mad
ness kindly comes to your relief, &c.
&C., &C.? What man of the least sus.
ceptibility would not rather pay mode
rate damages than receive q blasting

away, and his propulsive power is given
by q -bladed paddle, made of ash.
and weighing only two and a half
pounds. He proposes to stop for food
and sleep at such points as may be CON

boat up the Rhine and down the Danube

A MATHEMATroAL PRoDIaY-B1uNn BEN,
THE CALCULATOR. Bidder and Barnum's
famous Lightning Calculator" one
tor years the wonder Of all England, and
the other OF Auierioa--are both eclipsed by
negre boy now in Richmond The for
mer had sight, instruction, and other ad-
vantages, while the latter is poor negro
boy, who cannot see wink, has lived two
thirds OF his years in slavery. and never
went to school for u day in his life.
Ihe name of our Podigy is Ben. Stevens.
He is o native Of Caroline, and was for
merly a slave of DIR. Morris, of that County.
In 1864 he first showed his skill at figures,
but when he learned the multiplication
table, we are informed, he soon astonished
the people of the neighborhood by his re-
markable quickness at adding, subtracting,
multiplying and dividing, but only lately
did the story reach Richmond
day or two ago he was brought to town,
and on Tuesday evening, in presence of u
number of gentlemen, gave an exhibition
OF his wonderful powers. Upon first sight
of the illy-clad creatures grinning mouth,
retreating forehead, and ever-rolling, sight
less eye-balls, one would be most likely to
put him down as an idiot. But give him a
''sum, as he calls n mathematical problem,
and he pricks his ears, opens his mouth,
and shows that he is sensible enough.
On the occasion referred to, eyery exam
pie propounded Ben. worked out quickly
and correctly, without resorting to pencil
or pen, of the use of which he is, indeed,
as Ignorant as of the use of the camera OBJ
scuro. or oxy-hydrogen=b blow-pipe. In
several instance he gave the solution before
the bystanders could work it out on paper
Long rows Of figures items, hundreds and
thousands) were retained upon, his mind.
and in every case correctly added. In sub
traction, though perfectly ignorant of the
common arithmetica1 nomenclature, he was
equally quick; and the same may be said of
his exercises in multiplication. Finally, he
was tested in square and cube root; and in
that, too, showed his proficiency. A
stranger. asked the cube root of lit, 649.
In few moments Ben. promptly gave the
answer, to the astonishment of the specta-
tors. Rickwond Dispdtca
