The Figure 8.

ED. REPUBLICAN The singular
properties of the figure 8 are really a
pleasant and interesting pastime for
the youths of a mathematical turn of
mind. 1 have frequently met with
illustrations in books and papers of
the figure 9, but never saw them car
ried 80 far as I shall endeayor:
Multiply 8 by the other figures,
either singly or as a whole and the
result added together will be9. Thus,
8 times 9 are SIS and / are 9;
or. 9 times 8 are 72-7 and are 8;
multiply 1. 2, 8, 4. 5. 7. 8, 9 by 9 and
the result is 111l111101, which adj
ded together makes 9; cut off the
figure 8 and multiply by 8 and the re-
suit will be 11l11l1O2, added together
making 8; cut off the left hand figure
l, and the result ia 21l11ll0l-9, and
so on to the end. Then take the mum.
Der II and multiply by 8 and the re.
suit is SO added together the result
is Is, which added together make 9 {;
then take ~ multiplied by 9 and we
have 10S-added and we have 8; and
so on to q and %, which also make
Is, just double the multipIier. after %
to 80. inclusive. the result Is 8; then
81, 80 and SO results in IS. This Curl
Gus result will be found to continue
in forty from Al to A from 81 to IS,
and for every 10 added 1t gives a re-
suit of 10 until the unit figure Is larger
than the ten figure, when the result
Is again 9. Continue thus until 10l
is reached, when it is again 10, and
will continue to be 10 until Ill, when
the result will be 27-three times 9.
liz will again result in 9, and 8 con.
tinues rs a result until 121 and 1872
when IS is the result; then 8 will be
the result until 131, 1872 and 1873
! which again gives IS.
This curious result reached by using
the figure as a multiplier l never
saw noted in any books or paper

In the pure open air and light of day,
and that of working in a damp mine
with the insufficient light of the lit
tie mining lamp upon the miners
cap The place in which the miner
is employed. though it may have the
best Known methods Of ventilation.
cannot bear any comparison to the
free open air. The are other danger.
Gus employments, but it Is doubtful
II there are any more, and very few
as dangerous as that Of the person
employed in the mine. It Is too Of
ten that the mournful cortege and
solemn toll signalize the sad fate of
the poor miner. The unexpected fall
OF coal. or the dangerous car hurry
him unwarned into the future. Per-
sons not acquainted with the mines
have little knowledge ofthe places in
which hundreds of thousands of la
bOrers work.
NO doubt great many persons in
this section are very much disap-
pointed at the failure of the LegisIa-
ture to pass the eight-hour law. Great
efforts were made here by the Labor
Unions to secure its passage, and the
delegates from this county worked
hard for it. 1t is noticed that Gar
retts representative, who voted upon
th9 bS, recorded himself in favor of
1t. NJ workingmen will not be like
ly to fo'get DR.. Speicher's sympathy
for them.
1t takes very little penetration to
observe the struggle going on be-
tween capital and labor. There may
be something behind it all that is not
visible toan ordinary person. Our
Legislators may see something in it
that we do not, and the capitalists
may or may not be realizing enormous
profits from their investments, but
there is one Thing quite easily observ.
ed, and that IS that the situation of
ease, comfort and luxury enjoyed by
the capitalist is unknown to the
workingman.
That this state of affairs is assum-
ing larger proportions each year can
hardly be denied. The rapid increase
oflaborers in this country may be one
of the chief causes, and the question
may perhaps ere long find a solution.
The laborer may yet find it to be to
disadvantage to leave the over crowd
ed workshops of the east and take
Greeley's advice and Ego west" and
find an agricultural home in the land
of the setting sun.
1t would be a blessing to great
many people if something could be
done to make the day Iaborers little
scarcer, and lessen the grip of the
capitalists upon them. A complete
change, that is that which would
make the employer little dependent
and give the employee some of the
independence now shared by his mas
ter, would not be amiss. But it may
after all be that there is some hope
for the wOrkingman. and something
that will be of more benefit to him
than an act of the legislature could be.
Predictions are not wanting that
this summer will be a busy one in
the mines in this region, and some Of
the miners seem cheerful. Whether
such will be the case. time will only
demonstrate.
Now. 1 was going to say something
about few other affairs in this coun-
ty, but 1 find have made my few
lines already too many, more than
THE REPUBLICAN can spare room
for, so will postpone until another
time. PED.

The Planters Bank Failure.

RICHMOND, Virginia, August 27.-In the
House of Delegates to-day, the Committee
on Finance submitted their report on the
investigation of the Planters and Mechan-
les Bank of Petersburg which recently fail
ed. The report says that the amount due
the State May Is, 1884; was S315,373. The
committee find that the money of the State
deposited in the bank was so mingled with
the other funds of the bank and so used as
to make it impossible for the committee,
from the evidence at its command, to as
certain the precise use made of the identi-
cal money so deposited. The committee
found that with a capital stock of only
S119,559, the enormous sum of Sill $40
had been allowed to be drawn from the
bank on overdraft. At the time the bank
closed its doors, in addition to the very
large sums previously Overdrawn by favor
ties of the bank, whose notes are generally
worthless, among the largest overdrafts are
those by Governor Cameron, Senator Ma
hone State Senator Gaines, Inge and Ma
hone, the latter the son of Senator Malone,
and Thomas Whyte, cashier of the bank.

Bank Closed.

XENIA, Ohio. August 27.-The Second
National bank closed its doors this morn
ing No particulars.
XENIA, August 27.-There was a run on
the bank yesterday but payments were
made so promptly that confidence was re-
stored and many renewed their deposits.
The cashier, j. S. Ankeney, has gone west.
The bank is to-day in the hands of an
officer detailed by the comptroller of the
currency. No statement OF its condition
has as yet been made.
XENIA, August 27-Cashier Ankeney
had been engaged in grain transactions
with X. M. Smart, to whom the bank,
through Ankeney, had recently madelarge
advances. Smart gave mortgage to Sc
cure this money, but the directors were
not satisfied and demanded Ankeney's res
ignaton. He went west the next day and
this caused the run of yesterday. The
stock holders are regarded as able to meet
all liabilities, though the amount has not
as yet been made public.
NEW YORK, August 27.-Mr. Garland,
of the First National bank of New York,
one of the correspondents of the Second
National bank of Xenia, states that the
suspension of that institution will have
no effect on the financial circles here. It's
account with the First National is very
small, averaging only 1000 to 5000 dollars.
WAsHIEGTON, August 27.-The comp
troller of the currency has telegraphed the
bank examiners to take charge of the Sec
ond National bank of Xenia, Ohio.

Xenia, Ohio, is not so bad as represented

will meet all demands The comptroller
says that it does not appear necessary for a
receiver to be appointed.

community was startled this afternoon by
the announcement of the detalcation Of
Samuel Roberts, late paymaster of Chas.
Parrish & Co., coal operators, amounting
to between $4,000 and $4,000. Roberts
has been the confidential clerk of Charles
Parish for twenty years, and is widely
known throughout the State. He trans
ferred his property, which includes stock
in the Red Ash Coal Company, to Parish,
and the latter authorized an Associated
Press reporter to state that settlement
had been effected Roberts sunk the
money in household eXtravagencies and re-
ligious objects. He was Superintendent
of the Memorial Sunday School. He re-
Gently resigned all his offices for the pur-
pose of going to Europe.

developments make it certain that the
amount stolen by Roberts was about $780,

BE HAPPY WHILE YOU MAY.

There is plenty of care and sorrow
In this world of ours, sweet friend;
The heart in vain oft ponders
And puzzles as to the end.
But the end will come unfailing,
Whatever we may say;
Take heart, be troubled 10 longer,
But be happy while you may
Do you see the delicate flowers
That your pleasant homes adorn?
Dripping with dewy softness
In the sweet, clear light of morn.
Thoughtless and gay they seem,
As they nod to the whispering WIND !;
Tomorrow a mass of leaves
In their place Of to-day we find.
The thorns half-hiGing the rosebud,
Protect and strengthen 1t, dear;
As the sorrow we find about us
Makes our JOY stand out more clear.
Look at the bright side and gladness
Will end our busy day;
Enough have we of sorrow,
So be happy while you may.
Believe me, a cheerful heart
And willing, helping hand,
Scatter wondrous joys around us
Comfort and peace DER the land.
The heart Graves love and kindness,
Is il not so? then say
You'll try to be merry and cheerful,
And be happy while you may.

Ny MOTHER

The silent song of mem ory
Salutes my waking thought,
And sings to me thousand things
Nv precious mother taught.
As look back upon her lie
II rises like a flame,
and spreads luster DER each charm
sweet memory comes to name.
4 halo sweet as charity
Surrounds her life to-day,
As oft il did so long ago
When kneeling down to pray.
When faithfully she taught us all
That we each one should love
And that the blessings we receive
God sends us from above.
If saints on earth have ever lived,
Nv mother was a saint,
For in her moral character
No one had seen talnt.
Her words were kind to every one,
Her life was all for peace;
All angry looks and bitter words
Around her had to cease.
She was an angel to us all
Our ills to reconcile,
And if a coldness froXe the heart
'Twould melt beneath her smile.
And when her spirit rose above
And left her form of clay,
There was a rosy tint remained
That never passed away.
