An Arithmetical Prodigy Who Per-.
forms Some Wonderful Feats!
Jacques maud was born ut Onor-
alto, in Piedmont, on Octo YER IS,
1867, OF q family in modest circum-
stances. He passed his earlier ye r.
in tending sheep. At the age OF : K
years he was taken with q passion T. r
Fl lures, and began to combine numbers
in his head lie at watch over his
flock. He did not try to give his cal
culations n mat erial form by counting
on his fingers: or with stones, but the
whole operation was mental. He
conceived numbers by the names
which his elder brother had rected to
him. Neither he nor his brother
could read then. He learned by ear
the numbers to hundreds, and exer-
cised himself in calculating with what
he knew. When he hal done his best
with these numbers he asked to be
taught those above ahundred so that
he might extend the sphere OF his
operations. He has no recol ection
OF his brother teaching him the multi
plication table. At seven years Of
age he vas capable OF performing in
his head multipIlcations Olive figures.
In a little while he started with his
brother to wander through Provence,
the brother playing the organ and
Jacques exhibiting a marmoset and
holding out his hand. To increase
his receipts he proposed to the people
he met to perform mental calculations
for them; at the markets he assisted
the peasants in making mp their &C.
counts, and performed difficult arth-
metical operations in the cafes. A
manager engaged him to give repre-
sent atoms in the cities. IIe came to
Paris for the first time in 1880, and
was presented to the Anthropological
Society by Broca, who wrote brief

the worship of the golden calf.
IT MUST BE BROKEN UP.
But my text suggests that this
worship must be broken up, as the be.
havior Of Moses in my text indicated.
There are those who say that this
golden calf spoke of in my text was
hollow, and merely plated with gold;
otherwise, they say Moses could not
have carried it. l do not know that:
but somehow, perhaps by the assist
ance OF his friends, he takes up this
golden calf which is an open insult to
God and man, and throws it into the
fire, and it is melted, and then it
comes out and is cooled of, and by
some chemical appliance, or by an
old-fashioned file it is pulverized, and
it is thrown into the brook, and, as q
punishment the people are compelled
to drink the nauseating stuff. So my
hearers, you may depend upon it that
God will burn and he will grind to
pieces the golden calf of modern idol
airy, and he will compel the people in
their agony to drink it. If not before,
it will be so on the last day.
EVERY DAY DAY OF JUDGMENT.
But, my. friends, every day is day
ofjudgment, and God is all the time
grinding to pieces the golden calf.

POLITICAL POINTS.


We do not speak as partisans when We
say that the Republican mind is in need
Of education in the principles OF Ameri-
can Government.
In several New England States the Re.
publican party retains It's control Of az
fairs by virtue Of constitutional require
ments that utterly set at naught the fun
damental principles of equality and the
natural right OF men to self government.
In Rhode Island and Connecticut, for
example, the Constitution gives as great
representation to the small towns as to
the large ones. In the Rhode Island
Senate the 900 people of Block Island
count for as much as the 140, 600 OF
Providence, while in the lower house
Lincoln's 10, 900 people have nearly half
as many representatives as the city with
more than seven times its population.
And by virtue of another inequitable
provision, whenever there is a failure Of
election by clear majority for State
officers the right to choose them is given
absolutely to the minority party.
In our own State the case is not so
bad, but even here the Constitution pro-
vides for an inequitable representation
BY giving to each rural county, with one
exception, representative in the As
sembly regardless of its population, and
thus deprives the people OF the cities Of
some part OF their proper voice in State
government.
The Republican mind seems sincerely
to regard these arrangements as neces-
sary If not absolutely Just. Honest Re.
publicans urge that it is necessary to
keep down the proportion of representa-
ton in the cities for fear that what they
call s'slum influence" shall dominate,
and government shall pass out Of the
control Of what they call the ebest peo-
ple.' The Republican mind has not
grasped the truth that rightful govern
ment is not government by the best
people but government by all the peo.
pie; that equality in the conduct of pub
lie affairs is not a granted privilege but
natural right; that equal representation
is as essential to the free State as honest
voting itself is, and that majorities rule
in a republic not because they are the
best people but because they are MAORI.
ties.
In word there fingers in the Republic
can mind the old intolerant ideas of
aristocracy and class privilege, the old
distrust Of the people, the old disposition
TO hedge liberty about with restrictions
intended to restrain it from hurting it
self.
The true republic is thing of slow
growth. With US in this country its
complete establishment can come only
through the dominance of the Demo-
cratic idea of the actual equality OF hui
man rights, secured by absolutely equi.
table laws. New York World.

Democratic party through the four years

or option in the matter, Mr.. Cleveland
was compelled, SO far as politics were
concerned, to administer the Government
under the laws and principals established
under the long sway of Republicanism;
and no finer tribute was ever paid to
those laws and principles than is found
in the fact that under them even a Demo.

The only field in which Cleveland had
full sway was in making appointments to
office, and it can hardly be denied that
there he did give the country a taste Of

he ousted National Union men from
