The Number Nine.

THE number nine possesses some re-
markable properties. II the nine digits,
/, 2, 3, 4, 8, 6, Z, 8, o, be added together,
the sum will be Do, which is equal to 8
times 8, and the sum of the digits of their
sum, and 5, is 8. If any number is sub
tracted from another having the same
digits in different order, the remainder
will be divisible by nine, and the sum of
the digits of the remainder will also be
divisible by 8.
Subtracting 2067634 from 7364429,
there remains 4416795, which is equal to
8 times 490955, the sum of the digits, 4, a.,
1, 6, Z, 0, 5, is 36, which is divisible by o.
If any number be multiplied by 0, the
sum ofthe digiis, or figures, of the product
will be divisible by o. Nine times 437S0135
is 394021215; the sum of the digits of this
product is 27, a multiple of o. The solu-
tions of number of interesting arithmet-
icsl puzzles depend upon the above prop
critics Of o.
IT number be substracted from another
having the same digits in different order,
and one of the digits of the remainder
erased, it can be found in the following
manner: Add together the figures of the
remainder that are left, divide the sum
by o, subtract the figure that remains
after dividing by 8 from 0, and this last
remainder will be the digit, or figure,
sought If there is no remainder, 0 or 0
was erased. f
Ask some one to write down number
and substFact from it another, composed
of the same digits in different order with
out letting you see either of them. Tell
him you want all the figures of the re.
Dldinder but one. BY the above rule you
can soon find the figure you have not seen.
The feat will appear quite mysterious to
the unintiated.
Here is an example: Subtracting
156324 from 231458, the remainder is
75132. The sum of the figures z, 5, /, 3,
is 16. Divide 18 by 0, we have a re-
mainder of Z. Seven from leaves 2,
the other figure. / could tell you
about great many more of these tricks
with numbers" but must stop writing,
or my "piece" will be too long.-TAt

TO THE FLOWERS.
BY NJ. ASarrH ALDEN.

WAKE little wild flowers, under the snow,
Lying all winter, waiting TO blow.
Wake, for the storm clouds Of winter are past
Wake, now, nor fear the cold, chilling blast.
Up through the mossy.grown meadows new peep
Opening dewy eyes, fresh from your sleep.
Nestled In grassy bed, close in the fold
or your leaaness wrapped from the cold.
Sweet blne violets, pets yellow-eyed,
seek not from our glad searchings TO hidei
Suffer us Just TO gather few
Beautiful blossoms stec pea IN the dew.
May-budsi butterc ups wake and unfold
Leaves lushing red.0r yellow as gold.
Wake for the birds are singing on high;
Warmer the sun burns; soft is the sky;
Green are the woodlands lately so drear:
Wake, then, my darlingsi tits spring-time Of year

And there really l. no telling
To what length his mischief goes.
List night he put cracker

And he told mo such a whacker, tH
When asked how IL came there.
Then when told poor old Mrs. Toodles
Was just starting on by rail.
He tied her two fat poodles
Fast together by the tail.

How ones nerves he daily Jars;
He puts pins into ones stockings,
And Cayenne in ones cigars.
You may guess that many other
Boyish trick he's daily at.

Dr. Blakemore is eminently adapted to
adjusting these appliances, having had
large experience in the same for the last
twenty years. Of the veritable utility of
these appliances in cases of dropping chill

sumption, spinal diseases, indigestion,

The East Tennessee and Virginia, and
the East Tennessee and Georgia railroads
were recently consolidated, by the unani-
nous vote of the Directory of both, and are
now operated as one, under the name OF
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad. Its principal officers are: Thos.
H. Galloway, President; Capt. Joseph
Jacques, Vice President; L. G. jackson,
Superintendent; and Joseph G.. Mitchell,
Secretary and Treasurer. The line from
Bristol TO Chattanooga is 2i2 miles in
length, which, with the branch from Cleve-
land to Dalton, makes it 272 miles long
1t has numerous feeders in operation and
in process of constructiOn-amongw which
may be mentioned as in operation, the
Knoxville and Kentucky, forty miles (;
Knoxville and Charleston, twenty miles;
Morristown and Cumberland Gap, about
forty miles: Rogersville branch fifteen
miles; East Tennessee and North Carolina,
under construction.
The stockholders and managers of the
consolidated line displayed good judgment
in the act, which will be proven in the fu-
ture. These roads have paid the interest
due the State, acCrUing since the war, and
we were pleased TO meet the Vice President
of the new regime, Capt Jaques, in the
city yesterday, in relation to the January
interest The East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad will henceforth be one

me SchOcI Question-Thc Ladies'

Fair.
To the Editors Of the Union and American
In the midst Of our municipal school
troubles comes an appeal on our citizens,
in the shape of ladies fair, on behalf OF the
Catholic free school, west Of the Capitol
This building, Of which NJ hashviilean
need be ashamed, has been erected at
cost of some $40, 900; and affords the Sub
sfaniial basis of education TO six or seven
hundred Of the city's children. All this
has been done, and is doing, without aid
from the public at large, and without any
participation in the school revenues of the
city. to which Catholic freeholders con-
tribute in common with all Others
This Ladies Fair, being held this week
at the Schoolhouse, is an appeal manly TO
Catholics. But our population at large
are also interested for the following rea-
sons:
4 Asa matter of CHARITY All that has
been repeated SO fuently about the educa-
ton of the poor, the encouragement of
immigration, etc, apple? with more force,
perhaps, in this instance, because, as luck
viii have it, there's no ''nigger IN the
woodpile. :"
.. As matter of public interest: The
city is relieved of the cost of educating
some seven hundred children. If $500
children has cost the city at the rate OF
$50, 900 per annum, how much more would
these 700 cost? 1t is question OF figures
a question of interest to all taxpayers.
8. AS matter of justice; From the Or
ganization of the public schools, the tax
therefor has been paid promptly and cheer
fully by the Burnses, McLaughlins, Nc
Cormacks, Kinneys, Morrisons, Farrells,
Buddekes, Braekmans, McGoverns, ETC.,
without their deriving any benefit there
from. However proper in itself, and proper
in them, this may be, the citizens OF Nash
vile are not disposed to profit by 1t, with
out affording an equivalent, or without
exhibiting spirit equally proper in regard
to this Catholic free school.
As know the people of Nashville wonld
not witt ngly "weary in weu-dolng, L

The New Railroad.

The work on the Tennessee and Pacific
Railroad, better known as the Nashville and
Knoxville Railroad, is progressing in a sat
isfactory manner-quite rapidly, in fact,
considering that but little had been done
before the commencement of the winter
season. 1t is now expected that early in
the spring the road will be completed for a
distance Of thirty miles from the city, and
that on or before the LIST of May trains will
be running from Nashville TO Lebanon.
With the approach of milder weather the
work Of construction will proceed much
faster than at present, and the facilities for
work greatly increased by having portion
of the road in running order.

taking, correct and chaste; and in every
character which he has assumed he has
shown that he has been close observer

time take rank among the first on the
American stage. He is a Southern man

our people should extend an encouraging
