A MAN WITH Four EYEs.-A new
wonder has been discovered in New York,
In the person Of man named Karl Saul,
who, it is asserte', has four eyes lie has
one pair in the usual place and another in
the back of his head. A correspondent of
the Evening Post who enjoys the acquain-
tonce of the individual, says that both
sets of eyes are perfect, and he secs back
wards and forwards at the same time, with
equal case, omprehending at glance,
everything within range of bis vision eth.
er way. The objects which he simultane-
ously bcholds he will describe with won
derful accuracy. Indeed he is remarkable
for his descriptive powers. Mr. Saul is a
man of extreme dif6dence, aud the pecu-
liarity Of his visual construction has been
carefully concealed and has heretofore been
known only to some of his most intimate
friends. The back of the head Is quite fat: /:
but he has long hair, which effectually con
ceals the large eyes, which are generally
protected by bandage"

A remarkable accident happened to the express

eight passenger cars and baggage car was coming

that many OF the passengers were not killed badly
