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: • .
