The most romantic of all numbers is
figure nine, because it can't be multi
plied away or got rid of anyhow.
Whatever you do it is sure to turn up
again as was the body of Kugene
Aram's victim. One remarkable prop
erty of this fijrure (said to have been
discovered by W. Green, who died in
1794) is that all through the multjnlt
cation table the products of nine come
to nine. Multiply by what you like
and cive the same result. Begin with
twice nine, 18; add the digits together;
and 1 and 8 make 9. Three timw 9 are
27; and 2 and 7 makes 9. So it goes
on up to eleven times nine, which give
99. Verr rood : add the digits; 9 and
9 are 18, add 1 and 8 are 9. : Going on
to any extent, it is impossible to get rid
of the fizure 9. J Take a couple ot in
stances at random. Three hundred and
thirty-nine times nine are 3,051; add
up the figures and they give 9. Five
thousand and forty-one times nine are
45,369 ; the snm of tho digits is 27; and
2 and 7 are 9. M.- de Marvan found
out another queer thing about thi
number, namely, that if you take any
row of fifi-urea and reversing their or
der. make a subtraction sum of it, the
total is suro to make nine. For exam
pie, take 5,071
Reverse figures 1,703
3,36618, and 1 ud 8
are 9.'

The appointment of the Marquis of

ors K f ,r several reasons, an iliterest
ng event. Hi, high rank, the fact of
lis marriage with a daughter of the
Queen of England, his youth, i and his
tine UK-iils, make his selection for tho
high po;it he is about to assume, a pecul
iarly brilliant and striking on.
Thu Marquis of lorne is the eldest
son of!io l)uke of Argyll, one of the
fereateitt and most, powerful Scottish
nobh's, whoso family has long beenemb

Several years airo. the J fun mis of
Lorn, then a handsoiuo vuunsman.who
had just becomo A ministrsr of tholfotiso
of Commons, was attracted by the beau
ty anil grace of the Princess louiie, the
Queen's fourth daughter. She was, in
deed, tho only child of Victorut who
showed .marked talent, having in her
girlhood become very skillful as a sculp
tress atui artist. i
The Marquis1 attach uiuut was return-
ed by the Princess; but no member of
the English royal family for two centu
ries had ever narried any one nut of
royal blood. Ktill, the Queen at last
aisented to the union of Ixmise -with
lier lover, and great was Uie wnsatlon
among the precedent-loving bnglish
when the engagement was nuule pub
lic. I Pis marriagri however, while it iave
him the wife of his choice, cut off from
the young Marquis the prosct of an
eminent political career at home. 1 1
would not do for one closely connectnd
with the royal family to enter actively
into iKiliucal eon tests, ' to become the
chief of a partr, or to aspire to a scat
ia the cabinet; for the English, people
are very jealous of royal interference,
and tho Marquis' elevation, no matter
how much dweryed, would give rise to
suspicions of undue royal influence.

volunteered to nurscThim. That night
the fever developed itself in thirteen
of the crew, fur of those shi,jed at
iouurville bcinr among the ntanber, and
one of the doctors, frightened, left tho
the boat. , .i
Arrived at Gallipolis, omn distance
from Cincinnati, hardly f the crew
beside Armstrong was bl to 1 jvb his
bunk. Tliere art attempt was mado to
ait the boat aslMire but a crowd vt oit
ient, armed with shot guns, threatened
to shoot any man who tried to leave
her, They offered provisions and mod
ical supplies, however, and the boat was
tied to the shore, guarded nttfht and
day by a cituenjpatruL The thirteen
who were sick with the fever du-d one

Armstrong, escaped by swimming how.

post-house with tho dead around him.
Ihe butt victim tho guard would not al

brink, so he weighted the body with
iron st.d threw it over the boat side.
Then he, too, full in, and the local
doctor, who kept watch with the guard,
persuaded them to allow the pattont to
be brought ft bore. But they would not
allow him to bo kept there. So the doc
tor put htm in a buggy, drove him ten
milos down the river, and there paid a
boatman $10 to row him across to the
Kentucky shore. Thence, how he hard
ly knows, he made his way to Louis

health strain.
Five of the seven who escaped from
the P.orUr died of the fever after leav

death list from tho time she left New

A KrSSIAS MEKO.
Gen.' Abramoff, the Iluislan envoy
to Cabul, has already earned a name
on more dangerous fields than those
of diplomacy. At the groat battle of
Irdjar, which ended the Dokharoite
"holy war" of 18GG, he and CoL Pes-
talkor commanded under Gen. Bo-
manovlskl, who, finding hiruelf with
but 7,000 men la front of 70,000 Bok
haroites, wished to retreat. His two
subordinates, having vainly urged
the peril of such a course In the face
of overwhelming odds, wont out as
If to obey mm and at once opened
fire. Tha ' enemy, confounded by
this audaclty,and by the havoc which
the Russian .rocket butteries made
among them, gave way on all sides,
and the commandor-in-chlei, as has
happened ia other countries than
Central Asia, gained the chief credit
of a victory which was wholly duo
to his lieutenants. The black skull
eap which surmounts Gen. AbranaofTs
frank, manly face, commemorates a
yet more daring exploit ia lS70,vla.,
the heading of the forlorn hope at
the Shekhrl-Sebzlan fortress of KItab.
By some rn Is take, the supports failed
to come up, and the gallant handful
were overwhelmed by superior num
bers. In the thick of the fight a na
tlve marksman discharged his piece
close to AbramofTs forehead, the bul
let plowing a ghastly furrow right
across the scalp from front to back,
the scar of which Is still visible. But
despite all his terrible experiences,
tho governor of bamarcand is still as
hearty and eenlal a companion as
ever, abounding in jokes ana goou
stories, and the very essence of hos
pitality to all who visit him.

to witness the general public ignor
ance in regard to it.
John Howard, the phiianllimpu-t, ,
from whom the association derives
its name, was born at Hockney, near
London, about 1726. From his father,
who had been engaged In trade, he
inherited a considerable fortune. In
1786, the year or the great earth
quake at Lisbon.urged by motives of
benevolence, as well as curiosity, he
sot sail for that city. On this voyage
his vessel was taken by a French prK
vateer, and he was carried into the
interior, where he suffered imprison
ient for some time. The hardships
which he there underwent, combined
with tho knowledge of prisons and
tho miseries of prison life, which he
acquired ns a county sheriff ia 1773
and afterwards, determined him in
devotine himself to prison reform.

at Kerson, the south of Russia, from
