Can any arithmetician furnish such explanation !—N. Y. Err. Poet.- - The abbe title seems to convey the idea that 'the fast regafding-the number 9; to which it refers, is new ; unexplainable, mysteriotes, and een mirg *. when in troth it is but an obvious consequence deducible from,the discussion of the " peculiarpro pertiof the number 9," as given 14 Prof, Stoddard inhis Philosophicel.:krithmetie, inage 80, as follows: • " Any number is. divisible by 9, wlien the sum of -its digits is divisible by 9. Consequently, every num ber, divided by p, will give the- same remainder as the sutra of its d gitwdividcd by 9. Also.. if from any number the eun of its digits be subtracted, the re mainder will be divisible by 9. .• .t• Take. any n,unber, 16.5, which equals 700, phut plus 5. . "-Now, -700 equals 7 times 100 ; which equals 7 times (99 plus I) ; which - equals 7 times 99, plus 7_ " And 60 equals 6 times 10 ; which equals 6 times (9 plus II; which &vials 6 times 9, pica. 6. And 7-into 99, plus 6 i Ito 9, plus 7, plus C, plot z,ic i unts7 us. • flut 7 into 99, plus 6 into 9—which lacks tie suni ofibe digits of the nunitter 765, of being equal ;to that - number,—is divisible by 9 ; since each of the eipteisions7 into .99 Mid 6 into 9, contains the factor 9. the. remaining part of the number, wbich'is the sum .aj its digits, is divisible by 9,.the mimberitself is'divisible by 9, As every-.number can be separatedlatO two parts,--the sum of its dig li its, and another number diiisibie by 9,—it follows that the'same remainder will be faund by dividing the niAnbergby 9, as is, by 'dividing the sum of its digits 0)5'9 : Also, if a:number he diminished by the sum I of the remainder will be divisible by 9," Bence, if the digits expressing 'any number. be transposed so as to express a different number, and the smaller of these numbers be taken from the larg er, the remainder will be divisible by 9. . • This conclusion becomes obvious when we consid er that every- number` can be Separatedinto two pakts —the sum' of its di - F it., and another nom ber divisible by 9. For, if the digits be tran.spOsed to as toex- . press a different number, the sum of the digits of 'each will still remain the same. Taking the sfindier itia.theStnallcr numbei-pho a certain 'number of time 9, takenfrom the Sum of the digits &the lar ger.numVer plea a certain number of times 9,—equal ,to nothing plui s a certain number of times 9, which is .a number diVisibie by 9. • e have been obliged m the above to "substitute wards for arititmeticil .ions. of addition, cation, anti equality, beiause we hare no type in our 'office for expressing the latter. It will probably tacit itate an undtrgtanding of the explanations, to copy them off: on atlate or paper, and restore the signs ; or, better still, turn to the page above indicated in the Philosophical Arithmetic. ' For the Independent Republican Sixth and Seventh Ages of Democracy Few look upon Shailea-pc:ire as a 7prophet, yet who ever reads his works carefully Must Le convinced that he could piereo the dark veil of the future ;. at least, the followhig quotatioti seems to have pafticu lar reference to the Democratic Party. Se says, concerning the sixth, or present age of that party : '4> " The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slippered pantaloon; With spectacleson wise and pouch on side ; His youthful hale, well saved, a world too wide For ids-shrunk sham ; and f;id'big Leanly voice Turning again toward - childish trtble, pipes _ • And wgistles in its ssund." . . The age just described will expire in the year of our Lord 1860 ; imtnolistely•after which, that party will enter on.its seventh or Luke& descl l ibed by the prophet: • . , " Last scene or all, That en& this strangt, eventful history, Is second ctUdishness i and mere oblhion ; Sans teeth, sans eyes Baba taste., sans ererythidg,". In these eleven lines of the "Prophecy of Shakes.' pear'," we have the present and future history of the . DenK,cratio Party fairly written. , t SUMM . ,4RY oi-CoNvEssioNs.—The Enimin ell,of last week says: ' ," Our revival, summary for 'ree weeks past; though imperfect, of nee.ti a' ty, shows great advance: Over seventeen_ -thousand conversions are therein specified, and the in gathering - on probation and otherwise, report ed in our Methodist exchanges during the same period, amounts; by our, own count, to over twenty thousand More.' . • The summary specifies the following- con . - , versions :.
