A Ctjbiosmty. — The Multiplication of 987654321 by 45 gives 4444444445. Reversing the order of the digits, and multiplying 123456789 b 45 we get a result equally olirious, 5555556505. If we take 123456789 as the multiplicand, and interchanging the figures of 45, take 54 a." the multiplier, we obtain another remarkable product, 6666666506. Keturninsr to the multiplicand first 987664321, and takinir 54 as the multiplier again, we get 53333333334— all threes except the firs* and last figures, whioh read together read 54, the multiplier. ' a ing the same multiplicand and u^ing 27, the half of 54, as the multiplier, we get a product of 26666666667, all sixes, except the first and last figures, which read together 27, the multiplier. Next interchanging the figures in the number 27, and asing 72 as a multiplier, with 987654321 as the mult plicand, we obtain a product of 7111111111 2a1l ones, except the first and la*t figures, which read together give 72, the multiplier. His ' onor Judob Johnston and Colonel w cratchlfy must have been mightily pleased when they saw a paragraph in a late iisue of a Wellington pappr, that "The *.* ' otamahanabrouorht to Wellingtcn 'recently a great number of persons of distinction and fame, amongst whom we may mention His Honor Judge Johnston, Colonel Soratchley, "t<e«dy Money" ' obinson, Captain Johnson (Marine Department), young Scott, the pedestrian and his trainer, Mr. Austin, and last— but in many peraonH* estimatirn, no 1". leßst — Abe Hioken, the renowned pugilist." A goodly company, truly.
