The Fairy Queen, Leopard Boy, and the Lightning Calculator held another leree at the Academy of 'Music last night, which was numerously attended. Miss Matilda Sanville, the little lady, was as affable as erer, talking with her visitors and singing some songs daring the evening. The Leopard Boy danced and did a fine, business in his/photos.", This ,re-! markable freak.of nature seems to be % great favorite amongst.the boys, who laughed and joked and even romped with him .. on his own stage last nighfr--. the " boys in their mischief. - giving him some nips which most audible " don't." The Calculator, Mr t Moulton, did surprising rams, and explained some peculiarities of numbers .which he had discovered in prosecuting tis studies. Mr Moulton is a , remarkable _ instance,.: of I what may be accomplished .by, application and concentration. ■ -He has mad* figures his study, and figures seem to be nothing .to him. , He can. calculate a.proposition i while other people are merely writing it down or setting it out.
