in this one respect from other children of his
age. His parents are avcrsC to any display OF
precociiy and will not allow to be questioned
But enough has already been elected to show
his wonderful faculty, He probably inherits
this gif, from his father, Prof Miller, of the
kcoliuk Mercantile College who has long
