ARITHMETICAL GYMNASTICS,

While it is to a certain extent true
that figures wont lie, yet there is a fexi-
bility to them that often leads to aston
ishing results. Everybody knows one or
more of those chronic old politicians who
are able to figure out handsome ma
jcrity-for their own party-before cleo
ton. Every political newspaper sup
ports one or more of these figureheads.
1t is known by the frequent experiences
of the mercantile world, that a skillful
book-keeper or bank teller can by few
strokes of his pen carry cash balance
upon the ledger, which cash balance has
long since been transferred to his pocket
or spent in riotous living. Then there
is the egg problem and the nails in the
horseshoe problem of Dabol that startle
the young arithmetician and sometimes
drive him crazy.
There are very many problems in
mathematics or combinations of figures,
by the multiplication or division of
which the most singular and inexplica-
BILE results follow. One of the most
singular, perhaps, is that exhibited in

which was studied out by Prof. J. g.

SOME of General Merritt's scouts re-
port that at the crossing of Cottonwood
Creek they saw three Indians, who, when
fired upon by the scouts, scampered off
up the canyon. There is nothing extra
ordinary in this statement, but it sug-
gest. the inquiry, What did they fire on
them foro There is 10 law on record,
human or divine, that forbids trio OF
red men from assembling at the Cotton
wood Greek crossing; and as it is in the
nature of men, Indians not excepted,
that they must always be somewhere,
why not as well at Cottonwood crossing
IS anywhere else? From what we can
gather it is lonely spot, where the pale
face is seldom seen, and il all tho Indians
that roam the wood. would congregate
at Cottonwood crossing and stay there it
would be a blessed thing for this coun-
;ry.

1t will be perceived that the combina-
ton 42,S57, multiplied by the first six
numerals, reproduce exactly the same
figures in the product, althou sh the posi-
tion Of the figures is changed in each re.

same identical figures are reproduced in
the vertical colums. The aggregate of
the figures in each product is the same,
81, or three times 9. In multiplying
this combination by 7, the product is
999,999. The result by multiplying by

The report of the Mercantile Agency
of r. G. Dun & Co. for the third quarter
of 1879 is about as cheering to the busi-
ness people of America as it well could
be. 1t shows that the failures in the
United States have been for the third
quarter of this year less than one-half the
number of those of the third quarter of
1873. The decrease has ben 1901. The
decrease in suspended liabilities is still
greater, being $l5,0OO,0O0 for the three
months of 1877, as against $66, 900, 900 for
the same period in 1878. The average
liabilities for the third quarter of the
four preceding years was $52,O00,000-
more than three times the amount of liza
bilities for the third quarter of 1879.
The failures for the first three-quarters
of 1879 were $500 as against S,67S in
number for the nine months of 1878, and
the liabilities are $s1, 100000 as against
Sl97 100000 for the same period. These
indications are very satisfactory, as they
show steady and rapid increase of pros
perity in all branches of business. The
experience of the past should, however,
teach the American people to go slow
under the impulse of renewed activity,
and not rush headlong into speculation
or extravagant projects, 1t is quite pos
sible to avoid the disasters of the past,
like that of 1873, by studying the causes
that inevitably lead to them.
