A Curiosity OF Numbers.

The multiplication OF 987e54s21 by As gives
4444444445. Reversing the order of the digits
and multiplying 123466789 by 45 we get
result equally curious, 5,555, ,555, sos. II we
take 123456789 as 4 multiplicand, and inter-
changing the figures Of 45, take 81 as the
multiplier, we obtain another remarkable
product, 6,666, ,666, ,606. Returning to the
multiplicand first used, 987654321, and taking
"a as the multiplier again, we get SO, 333, $685.
534-all threes except the first and last fig
ures, which read together 81, the multiplier.
Taking the same multiplicand and using q.
the half of "a, as the multiplier. we get a
produc. of 26,666, ,666, ,667-all skies except
the first and last figures, which read together
give 81, the multiplier. Next interchanging
the figures in the number %, and using 70 as
the multiplier with 9S7654321 as the multi
plicand. we obtain product of 71,111,11 Ill.,
112-all ones except the first and last figures,
which read together give "a, the multiplier.

Mother Earth as q Doctor.

Some very extraordinary properties have
been discovered in the earth in New Jersey.
1t seems to be an infallible cure for chronic
diseases, for rheumatism. wounds, bruises
and corrupting sores. The earth application
is very simple. The earth is bound on to the
limb and changed once day. Some very
extraordinary cures have been performed,
and people carry off quantities of the earth
and apply it at home. 1t can be found, not
only by the acre, but by the mile. 1t is as
good for animals as it is for men,. A farmer

nation set in and the hog was turned out to
die. He crawled to hollow filled with swash.
He ]aiu himself down and continued to wal
low; in three days the inflammation was gone;
the animal began to eat, and in less than
week was perfectly cured. Whether the
medical properties are chemical or mineral, no
one can tell as yet. The farm on which this
remarkable earth is found is owned by

MyteriOus Departure of n Young Lady
About TO be Married.

During the past two years there has been
living at No. A Clinton street, Detroit, a
young lady named Lizzie Steinman, who,
having no other friends or relatives in this
city, was looked upon by Mr.. and Mrs. Leg
gett, with whom she lived, almost as a relative.
About one year ago she began receiving the
attentions of young mana prominent mer-
chant on Gratiot avenue-and about three
months ago she informed her friends that she
had plighted her troth to the young merchant,
and expected to be married in April next.
Tuesday last she was about the house all day,
while at work sang merrily and talked of the
trip out West which she and her husband had
decided to take after marriage. She retired
about 10 o'clock at night in an apparently
happy state of mind. Since that time she
has not been seen or heard from. Wednes-
day morning Mrs. Leggett called Miss Stein
man several times, and, receiving no answer,
visited her room. The girl was not there.
The bed gave evidence of having been occu-
pied, and Mrs. Leggett was considerably
alarmed, until opening note which she
found on the table, she read message from
Miss Steinman saying that she had changed
her mind regarding the marriage, and closed
by bidding all friends goodbye. There was
not word as to what she intended doing, or
where she expected to 60. Whatever she has
done, not one of her friends knows any rea-
son for her sudden and mysterious disappear

Fluent VerbOSity.

Almost every quality of conceit and weak
ness is combined in the impulse which makes
men speak when there is no occasion, and 60
on speaking long after they have said all they
had to say. Even if business is going on
just as man would wish it, yet he feels that
he has it in him to clench the nail already
driven in by a telling remark, or to illustrate
what is being done in way that will secure
for him the affection and respect of the
audience. He never reflects that even as he
is the reverse of grateful to speakers who
waste time with talk that is not essential, so
his neighbors can scarcely endure his own
gentle platitudes. s.-London Neaos.

Wonders Of Telephony.
From the Boston Advertiser.l

lfTOm the Boston ADVERTISER.
The five hundred OF more people gathered
in Lyceum Hall, Salem, last night, to hear
Professor A. Graham Bells lecture on the
telephone, were not more surprised and de-
lighted than were the few persons in the
workshop of Professor Bell, on Exeter Place,
in this city, who were, to certain extent,
carticipators in the proceedings. TO illus
trate his lecture, Mr. Bell had effected COM
munication between the two places by means
of a wire of the Atlantic s. Pacific Telegraph
Company, and had left Mr.. Thomas A. Wat
son, his associate inventor, in charge at this
end. At one time Mr.. Watson brought an
organ into use, and ''Should Auld Acquain-
tance" and Yankee Doodle" were heard
and heartily applauded in Lyceum Hall.
Then a speech was called for. and the Sa-
lem people heard Mr.. Watson say he was
glad of the privilege of addressing them,
although he was eighteen miles away. A
song was sung, and the applause that could
be heard coming over the wire to Boston
showed that it had been recognized and ap-
preciated in Salem. Indeed, the signs of ap-
proval we're so clearly heard here that Mr..
Watson asked if any demonstration other
than the clapping of hands had been made.
The answer was that nothing else had been
done. Then "Hold the Fort y was sung by
Mr.. Fletcher, and series of questions pro-
pounded in Salem Information was sought
as to the condition of affairs on the Boston &
Maine Railroad, and the weather, number
of well known Salem gentlemen taking part
in this desultory discussion. Taken altogether
the first public experiments with the teie-
phone must be regarded as unqualifiedly
successful.

COurting i'm Russia.

Russian girls frequently amuse themselves
at this time of the year (Christmas) by at
tempting to discover what sort of husband
will eventually lead them to the altar. A IA
vorite manner of doing this is by so-called
divination. The amorous female who is tired
of celibate life sits, in the mystic hours of
the night, between two large mirrors. On
each side she places candle, and then ca
gerly watches until she can see twelve reflect
ed lights.
If the fates are propitious she ought to dis
cern the husband she desires portrayed in the
glass before her. Another method of divina-
ton is to have supper laid for two. If the
young lady is still in luck, the apparition of
the future husband will come and sit down
beside her; but in order to secure success the
girl must not divulge to any one her intention
of thus attempting to dive into futurity.
There is story told in Russia to the effect
that the daughter of a rich farmer was in love
with a young lieutenant, and he, suspecting
that she would have supper laid for two,
climbed the wall of the garden, and, sitting
down by her side, partook of the prepared
banquet, the girl being under the impression
that it was his apparition and not the real
simon pure. On leaving the room the officer
forgot his sword, which he had unbuckled
before he sat down to supper. The girl find
ing the weapon after his departure, hid it in
the cupboard as memento of the visit.
Later on she married another suitor, and
he, fancying that there was some rival who
supplanted him in his wife's affection, and
one day discovering the sword, was confirmed
in his suspicious and killed her in fit of
passion.
Sometimes the inquisitive husband-seek
will take candle, and, melting the wax,
pour it on the snow, after which she strives
to discern in the hardened substance the like
ness of him she seeks.-Capt. Bunaby's Rsae

The Gr0und.HOg Excuse.

''Adam Crane, why did you get drunk yes

first man out.
His Honors kind look gave Adam new
courage, and he explained.
1T was grounding day, your Honor"
$50 it was; but what has grounding to do
with whisky?"
''Our family has always celebrated the day,
Judge. If it is cloudy day, we have baked
goose for dinner and congratulate each other
on an early spring. If it is a sunny day we
always get drunk and smash windows. That
is why l got drunk. 1t has been regular
custom for years and years, and hope you
won't hop on to me with big sentence"
Il can't help about it being custom, Adam
Crane" softly replied the Court; ''nor can
the people of the State of Michigan make it
cloudy or sunny for grounding. Our folks

duty to give you the cold grip for thirty days" 2"

Vanderbilt ANA Yankee Sullivan.

Among the stories told about Commodore
Vanderbilt is the following, related by an old
and well known resident of Staten Island:
During the warm and closely contested
Presidential campaign OF 1914, when James
K. Polk and Henry Clay were running as the
respective candidates of the Democratic and
Whig parties, there was great enthusiasm and
intense excitement on Staten Island relative
to the issue. Commodore Vanderbilt, who
was then in his prime, took great interest
in the fight, and was an ardent supporter of
Henry Clay, for whose success he exerted
himself with all the vigor for which he was
SO we'll noted. He was among the foremost
in getting up meetings and professions, and
organized and commanded magnificent
troop of horsemen, composed of about 500
of the finest men in the Whig party on the
Island, When the grand Clay and Freling-
huysen procession took place in New York.
Commodore Vanderbilt and his troop of
horsemen occupied a very conspicuous posi-
ton in it, drew encomiums from all who saw
them, and were greatly cheered. The Com
modore especially presented an imposing ap-
pea1ance, on account of his magnificent ply
sique.
At that time the notorious prize-fghter,
Yankee Sullivan, who was ''Tammany
worker,' and frequently boasted that he could
''whip any Yankee Whig on sight," kept
notorious bar-room in Chatham street, just
opposite City Hall Park. He was in his bar
room with a gang of roughs as Commodore
Vanderbilt's troops passed by, and hearing
the applause and noting the fine appearance
of the Commodore, he thought it fine op-
portunity of exhibiting to his friends how he
could take the Commodore down." and
rushing out he seized the reins of his horse
and tried to compel him to alight. The horse
reared, the Commodore cut Yankee Sullivan
across the back with his whip, and leaping to
the ground so badly beat him that his friends
took him away in a nearly senseless condi-
ton. Commodore Vanderbilt remounted and
proceeded, and was not molested again that
day.
AS every one knows, Clay was defeated.
The result was, so far as Commodore Van
derbi]t was concerned, that he went out of
politics, and kept entirely clear of party strife
the rest of his life.

This will be the Boss Railroad.

San Francisco has tremendous railroad
scheme on the brain. It is proposed to build
a railroad from that city through Southern
California, Mexico, the Central American
States and South America, to Valparaiso or
Conception, and so on through Brazil to
Buenos Ayres, the capital Of the Argentine
Republic. The entire length of the main
line would be about 1920 miles by the way
of Conception, or by way of Valparaiso 6,940
miles. The connecting lines through Mexico,
Central and South America would aggregate
about 8, ,A5 miles. The entire expense per
mileis estimated at $4,000, which would
amount to some $578, ESQ, 600 in an.-Mey-
