The blind Postmaster.

Henry Fawcett, the blind English postmas
ter general, who died in 1884, was greater
man by half after the unfortunate accident
which deprived him OF sight, than he ever
was before. He was born in 1888 and lost
his eyes IN 1858 at the age Of 25 from the ef
feet OF gunshOt wound. At that time be
was a poor law student Within less than
ten years, through constant association with
John Stuart Mil, he became only second tc
that great author as a writer on political
economy. In 1865, eight years after his mis-
fortune, he was elected to the house Of com
mons from Brighton and soon became one Of
the leaders Of thgt body. His writings
mostly on political and economic subjects
would I'LL large library case by themselves.
His career as postmaster general, dating
from the time Of his election In 1873 until the
time OF bis death in 1884, was marked by
many radical and important changes in the
English postal system, not few of which
have been incorporated into the postal ser

"While trapping lions in the Hot

mond, wild animal hunter, Il had
opportunities for seeing the king of
beasts at his best and for making close
observations of his character. No two
lions are alike, except in few lead
ing traits, any more than two men are
alike. Every lion is supposed to roar
at night when abroad after prey, but
not half of them do so. When you
read of one charging into a camp
you praise his courage, but for every
one such case / can show ten where
the lion skulked about like a dog.
You never find him twice alike There

had been out one afternoon with some
of the natives to prepare a bait
in a rocky ravine. We had built

placed calf as a bait. The sun was
nearly down as we started for camp.
and no one had the least suspicion of
the presence of danger until a lion,
which had been couched beside bush,
sprang out and knocked me down.
Il can say without conceit that was
fairly cool. 1t had come so suddenly
that had not had time to get ratified.

and seized my throat. So long as lay
quiet he would reason that | was dead
and give his attention to the natives.

beast jumped twenty feet in his sur
prise. He came down between me
and the natives and | turned enough
to see that his tail was down and he

growls, but without moving a hand,
and after making circle clear around
me the lion suddenly bolted and went
off with scare that would last him a

CURED BY FRIGHT.
An Original Method of Curing Chills and
Fever.

An Original Method of Curing ChilIs and
Fever.
The physician who believes that
mind and matter act in unison may re-
member how that truly celebrated
great man. Boerhaave, on certain
occasion, cured the ague. That COM
plant was very prevalent in his neigh
borhood, and he had treated it with
Indifferent success. when his noble
conceptions of the united agency of
mind and matter suggested the fol-
lowing treatment: He desired about
dozen patients, whose fit of the ague
came on about the hour of the merid-
ian, to come to him at ten o'clock.
They were shown into the same room,
and after a little while were informed
that the doctor was busy and would
wait upon them as soon as possible.
At the time the attendant addressed
them he placed a number Of irons in
the fire, which he increased to con-
siderable size. After the eleventh
hour the servant again entered the
room, apOlogied again :. for the
doctors absence, and turned and
paid great attention to the
irons that were heating. One
of the patients inquired the use of
irons, and was informed that they
were heating for the purpose of an op-
Grafton on the patients who had the
ague. This was soon whispered from
the one to the other. The man had
left the room, the doctor came not; and
more and more were their attentions
directed toward the now red-hot irons,
Surmise and conjecture had strong
base to play upon; the red-hOt irons
were for the ague-patients; every one
felt the coming crisis of his own case.
They looked and walked about the
room; they were soon every one of
them in a violent perspiration; and
the doctor came not until one o'clock,
and the ague-ft came not at all. To
his inquiries he found all we'll; and
the time had passed, and not one had
upon him the symptoms of his COM
plant. And taking them into anoth-
er room, one by one with care, and
caution, and some trifling medicine,
he dismissed them. saying that he
hoped they would recover without hav-
ing recourse to any violent remedy. In
truth, agitation had excited that ap-
prehenson which had completely cured
them of their disorder. IN. Y. Ledger
