A Mathematical Prodigy.

Gilbert Miller, lad years old, hv-
ing at Keokuk, Iowa, has recently ex-
hibited most remarkable powers in math-
ematics, being able to give answers to.
difficult problems with scarcely any hes
itation. He is strong, hearty boy, not
over fond of school, and differs only in
this one respect from children of his.
age. His parents are averse to any dis
play of precocity, and will not allow him
to be questioned. But enough has al
ready been elected to show his wonder
full faculty. He probably inherits this
gift from his father, Prof. Miller, of the
Keokuk Mercantile College, who has
long made a specially of rapid CONNER
cial calculation. We here present few
examples given recently to the lad as
test. The answers were forthcoming at
once, without any apparent effort:

date, zoos. At vicksburg there were ninety
eight new cases Of fever and twenty-five

"This Sabbath day has been a sad one for
Memphis, death having visited eighty-one
households, and sickness more than 100 more.
People go about the streets in mourning, and
Christian burial for their dead is boon which
few are blessed with. At Elmwood shallow
graves are dug, and sometimes short prayer
is uttered by a minister, but, more frequently,
there is no service, and the dead are put away

The Washington Monument.

The Washington monument was origi-
nally intended to be 600 feet high, which
is higher than any artificial structure in
the world. On the new plan, it is to be
carried up 4S5 feet, five feet higher than
the loftiest pyramid. The New Haven
Register thinks that it would be as well
to make it 5l2 feet high, so as to exceed
the elevation of the Cologne cathedral,
which will be 511 feet high. The twen-
ty-seven feet is mere trife, if thereby
the Yankee can overtop all the rest of
the world.
