An EXTRAORDINARY NAN.

Mr.. Fawcett, the Postmaster General
of Great Britain, is q most extraordinary
man. He>was made totally blind when
O young man by the bursting Of gum,
But in spite Of that, he is one of the best
informed men Of the day; a profound
mathematician, and widely read in liter
ature and history. He can handle rod
and fly with wonderful success. in the
House of Commons he is greatly re-
spected by all parties. An attendant
guides him to the door, and there ready
hands are always to be found to direct
the sightless Minister to his place. When
he is addressed he turns his head, as
though he could see the person to whom
his reply is directed. The most remark
nble feature about his speech is his
wonderful command of facts and figures,
which, thanks to his acute memory, he
masters with marvellous rapidity and re-
tentiveness. he is greatly aided by his
wife, whose attainments are almost equal
to his own. Since he was made Post
master General he has introduced many
reforms, improved the postage stamps,
introduced new system of money orders
or checks for small sums, and plan by
which the postoflice receives stamps as
deposits in savings banks, in order tc
carry out his favorite idea in offering the
poor every possible fscility for practicine
thrift.
