FINGER CALCULATIoN.-A correspon-
dent of the London Atheneune says: The
reference of Prof. De Morgan to the en-
ployment of the fingers for purposes of
notation induces me to speak of the very
ingenious application, in China, of this
living abacus to arithmetical calculation,
of the facility it gives for the settlement
of accounts, and the, easy solution OF all
sums, whether Of addition, satisfaction,
multiplication or division, from n up
to a hundred thousand. Every finger on
the left HAND represents nine figures, the
little finger the units, the ring finger the
tens, the middle finger the hundreds, the
fore finger the thousands, the thumb the
tens of thousands. The three inner
joints represent from l to 3, the three
outer 4 to 6, the right side z to 8. The
fore finger on the right hand is employed
for pointing to the figure to be called
into use; thus 1924 would at once be de-
noted by just touching the inside of the
upper Joint of the forefinger, represent
ing l 900, then the inside of the second or
middle joint of the middle finger, repre-
senting 200; thirdly, the inside of the
lower joint of the ring finger, represent
ing 30; and lastly, the upper joint of the
little finger, touched on the outside, rep
resenting 4. Or again, $3.50 would be
represented by touching h side of the
lower joint of the thumb 10000 and the
lower side of the joint Of the fore, mid
die, and the little fingers, representing
respectively 5000, 900, 90 and 8. The
universal correctness of the accountancy
of China, when there is no purpose Of
fraud, and the rapidity with which all
trading and commercial accounts are cal
culated, are facts of notoriety to all who
have any acquaintance with purchases or
sales made in that country.

from the formulas of eminent practising
physicians. DR.. P. himself, whose So

The Clarksyille s(Texas3 STANDARD of
the 9th inst, has the following in regard
to the Trans Continental Railroad:

The GAINESVILLE .(Texas) STANDARD of
the 9th inst, has the following in regard
to the Trans Continental Railroad:
Son Monday, we were pleased to greet
again, at our sanctum, our old friend
(though quite a young man) Gov.
Throckmorton, who had come up from
Jefferson, and brought us good news.
The engineer corps of the Trans-Conti-
mental, including the chief, Gen. Buell.,
had arrived and gone to a1Ork. $250,0O0
worth of iron, which is estimated as fifty
miles, would be afloat from a European
port on the 9th, to-day. This iron is for
the road from Jefferson to this place.
The Company will apply to the Legisla-
ture for authority for a branch from the
Southern Pacific, either from Marshall to
Jefferson, or some intermediate point,
between Marshall and Shreveport, to be
constructed Immediately, to enable them
to bring up their iron and equipments,
without detention from low water, be-
tween Shreveport and Jefferson. Gen.
Buell., on his way out, made arrange
ments at New Orleans for the immediate
forwarding of the first lot of iron, as soon
as received from Europe. Gov. Throck-
morton has recommended to President
Roberts to have the road constructed. to
g point north of Sulphur, Bowie county,
as early in December or January as prac-
tieable, to enable the carrying of this
years cotton crop of Northern Texas.
The leading citizens of Bowie, who were
addressed by Gov. Throckmorton,
pledged themselves to vote a subsidy to
the road, which will greatly enhance
their interests. The Company will not
accept the subsidy voted by the Legisla-
Ire at its late session, unless the re-
quirements of act are changed. They
had rather select their own time and
point of junction forthe Southern Pacific
ond Trans-Continenta1 without the sub
.sidy, than to have the point of junction
so far west, over a route, the local work
of which would be more expensive than
the value of the subsidy. 1t is presuma-
BILE, tDe think, that the Legislature, the
work for pay portion of it, not having
yet received the promised checks, will
make the desired change. Otherwise the
company will take its own course, and
retain its loose change.
We presume we may look for rapid
work on the jefferson branch of the
Trans Continental, and that the terrible
bottoms of the Sulphur and Cut Hand,
and the Post Oak Flats of Bowie, will
invoke our curses not much longer.

the crowd; Gan these men," selecting
two, "shall hold the stakes"
Browns five thousand was intrusted
to one, and the other went on board the
horse boat.
One of the crowd started to remon-
strate with the idiotic fellow, but he only
responded:
"Gollyl dad told me he could run
some, and daddy ought to lose, if he was
such a tarnal fool as to tell me that when
he couldn't"
Browns sleek racer was brought down
and Brown mounted him. The country
man led out his animal and clambered on
his back, looking as uncouth and awk-
ward as the horse he proposed to ride.
The word was given inc they started,
amidst the laughter of the crowd. At
first Brown was at h head, and it looked
as if the poor fellow was to be badly
beaten, when suddenly his horse plunged
forward and the jockey was left far be-
hind. Such going had not been seen in
those parts for a long time, and poor
Brown was crest-fallen as the cheers of
the ~bystanders fell on his ears.
"I'll take the sspondulix,'" said the
countryman, riding up. "Dad was right.
The anermal can git round a little"
Brown tried to say it was all a joke,
but the fellow would have his money.
CT guess 1 won't trade to-day" he
said, as he put up his old rough leather
pocket-book, sIJn go back to daddy"
In vain Brown tried to induce him
to trade, but he pushed off his boat,
r%esolutely, saying, "Td better go back
and tell daddy"
Brown was completely 'ssold," for he
knew at once that the green countryman
was a leetle shrewder than people imag-
ined him, and had just come there pur-
posely to win his money from him.
Next time he did not ridicule a horse

THE BIG BLAsT--On last Tuesday evening, at about
Is o'clock, everything being in readiness, the big
blast of 125 kegs of powder. in Tompkins Lamb
ing's mining claims, was "let of" and a shock SIM
liar to that caused by earthquake felt through
out our city. Windows and doors ratified and every
thing indicated general upheayal of Mother Earth
We visited the spot short time afterwards but as
we have had no experience in that kind of mining
were not able to judge of the effects Of the blast
We are informed, however, by old miners who were
present at the explosion that large section of the
hill was raised and received tremendous shaking
up. and that the experiment has undoubtedly proven
success in every way. The proprietors, who GER
tainly ought to know, and who are the most deeply
interested, appear wen satisfied with the result
When water is turned into the bitches and couple
of hydraulics set at work on the hill it will then be
fully determined to what execution has been done
by the powder. The affair attended with no ac-
cident any until after the explosion. Shortly
afterwards Mr.. j. j. Tompkins. one of the proprie-
tors of the claims, and who, naturally enough, was
excited and anxious to learn the result approached
too near the mouth Of the tunnel when blast or
rush Of foul air or sulphurous vapor struck him,
ana after stumbling several yards he FELL partially
asphyxated, and would probably have sufocated to
death had not several persons rushed FORWARD and
carried him out of the claim down to his residence

nose and perfectly helpless, but soon recovered
