a Chinese Mathematician.

Wong Chinf0o, the highly educated
Chinaman, rather "got away" with a
young professor at GreencasGle, Mass,
on Friday evening. During the course
of the evening Mr.. Wong stated that
among the Chinese mathematlcians
were hired at VI per week, and
were not as good as ordinary men here.
They do this work by machinery, as it
were, and it is the dirty work OF tie
empire. When Mr.. Yong first came 10
this country to enter cUllege, he was
told tnat it would be necessary to study
mathematics two years; he at once told
them he knew mathematics better than
those who were going to teach him i'll
this particular branch. Illustrative OF
this, Wong in his address at Browns S
Hall, offered to loot up several columns
of figures. For convenience, his mana
ger, Mr.. Hawkins, was to name the tig-
ures, but the young professor OF mathe-
natics of Ashbury, who was present,
thought he saw a flaw there, and at once
came to his feet, He asked:
"WIll you, Sir, allow me 10 give you
the tgures"
"Certainly, sir; will be glad to have
you DO So" was MIR. Wong's courteous
answer.
"Now, then, sir" began the Profe ssor
beyond the tens of thousands, but glvi, 6
am AZ least thirty sums TO add. When
they were all ON paper Mr.. Wong asked :
"And now is that all, sirp
"Iha1s ALL" replied the Professor.
"Get ready to add"
MI. Wong stood smiling. When the
Professor mad Strengthened himself up
and said, snow begln," he quietly re
marked; Every we'll, sir; here is my
amount" This before the ustonished
Professor had time to get half way up
the first column.
"But your not through alreadyW re-
marked the Professor.
''Here is the footing of my figures -
was the response; and he then read
them, the footing being exact.
"Please read That again, SIR" asked
the Professor.
He did so, and the astonished Profess
sor was forced to admit that Mr.. Wong
did know something about mathematics
The Mandarin stated that he was nol an
extraordinary mathematician as com
pared with some of the educated
Chinese.

mand, what would you say then"
"Ma fol! General, my wife is mine,
land may beat herit choose. l should
Isay to the Emperor: Sire, look you to
the enemy, and leave me to manage my
wife,"
Napoleon laughed, and said: "My
good fellow, you are now speaking to the
Emperor"
The word produced its usual magical
effect. The grenadier looked confused,
neld down his head, aud said:
"Oh, Sire, that quite alters the case.
Since your Majesty commands, of
course obey"
"Thats right. 1 hear an excellent
| character of your wife. Everybody
speaks well of her. She braved my dis
pleasure rather than expose you to pun
ishment. Reward her by kind treat
ment. 1 promote you to the rank of
Sergeant, and when you arrive at Munich
apply to the Grand Marechal du Pala1s,
and he will present you with 400 francs.
With that you can buy suffers cara
| van, which will enable your wife TO carry
on a prof liable business. Your son is
| fine boy, and at some future time he
shall be provided for. But mind, never
let me hear Of your beating your wife
| V tlus IL uU, yOu Sutlll uIlu ppaU Sth
deal hard blows as well as YOU"
"Ah, Sire! can never be sufficiently
| grateful for your kindness."
Two or three years after this circum-
stance the Emperor was with the army
in another campaign. Napoleon, you
know, had wonderful power OF recol-
| lecting the countenance of persons
| whom he has once seen. On one of lis
marches he met and recognized the 1tOGn-
diere and her son. He Immediately rode
up 10 her, saying:
"Wel, my good woman, how do you
do? Has your husband kept the prom
ise he made to meY
"Oh, Sire! Oh, Sire! Since my good
star led me into the gracious presence OF
your Majesty, have been the happiest
of women"
"rhen reward me by being the most
virtuous of wives"
A lew pieces Of gold were presented
with these words; and, as Napoleon rode
of, the cries Of "ViUe J. Emperear," ut
tered amid tears and sobs by the mother
and her son, were enthusiastically re-
peated by the whole battalion.

of activity at home has checked our
trade abroad" we admit. 1t is fact;
and fact not to be regretted, but fact
the most wholesome to our financial
welfare. Though occurring as aneces-
sity, 1t is nevertheless necessity that
is working our cure and recuperation.
Our country has suffered numerous
financial panics; there has not been one
that was not preceded by an excess of
importations; nor has there ever been
one that was not cured by reversing this
and by making our exports exceed our
imports. In all the his tory of our tinan-
cial panics not a single exception can
be found to this. And yet, to this the
Bostonian "notion" is averse, aud
laments it's occurrence. 1t is
quite time that Boston, and perhaps
some other of the Atlantic cities, should
learn that commercial prosperity does
not live by custom-houses alone.
The Globes notions Of the uses of gold
are also Of the same wooden character.
1t regards it simply as thing of mer-
chandise, and nothing more, saying;
"Gold is one OF the products OF this
country for which we must have a mar
ket, and we can find it only by taking
lhe products Of other countries in ex-
change" And it adds-"Our currency
is not deprecated by the scarcity OF
gold, and the mere presence of that ar.
ticle will not affect its value"
Had the Globe intended this as a eli
max to its previous absurdities it could
not have succeeded better than, by this
paragraph, it has done. If the presence
or scarcity of gold has no effect on tht
value of our currency, then we can dis
card gold entirely and still MAINTAIN the
solidity of our currency! We can more
over, if this Boston notion be correct
make money by sending all our gold tt
market and taking foreign merchandise
in exchange! We can consume all oul
gold by consuming the merchandise we
take Tor it. But then, what OF our debts
Of which our currency is part?
1t would be difficult to conceive Of
errors SO numerous being compressed
into space SO briet as these exhibited by
our Boston friend. They are not only
gross, but mischievous. They stimu
late the popular propensity to excess in
foreign trade to the impoverishment o
the country and to the inevitable de
rangement of our national finance. They
are unsound in their philosophy, anC
would be found disastrous in their appli
cation.
