SlGHTLESS SENSE OF TOUCH
The Blind News Dealer and His
Remarkable Instinct.

Remarkable Instinct.
From the New York Sun.
A blind man walked slowly west.
ward down West Thirty second
street at sunrise on Monday morn
ing, tapping the Sidewalk with his
cane at every step. He stopped in
the d )orway of store next door to
the Cremorne Mission, across the
way from the once notorious House
of All Nations. The store, which
is in the basement of what used 10
be disorderly resort, is now head
quarters for the distribution of
newspapers. While the blind man
stood waiting for his order to be
filled by the news dealer another
blind man came eastward up the
street, feeling his way with bis
cane, and still another blind man
turned off Sixth avenue and walked
to the store. The three blind men
shook hands with each other as they
met aad began to chat at a lively
rate. Pedestrians stopped and
watched the three sightless men Gu.
riously. The strange thing about
the meeting was that the three men
had recognized each other By the
sound of the canes tapping on the
sidewalk. They separated ten min.
utes later and walked with compare
tive celebrity in opposite directions.
One of them took his station on
the Broadway side of the little park
near the Thirty third street station
of the eleya.ed road, and soon had
another crowd of men and boys
around him watching him sell pa.
pers. He had copies of all the
morning papers under his arm, and
served his patrons quickly. 1t was
the speed with which, sightless as
he was, he picked out the paper or.
dered, that had drawn the crowd
about him. He selected the papers
solely by the sense of touch. H-
ran his tiogars along the top of the
title page and down either side for
the purpose of Identification, and
wound up by feeling the quality OF
the paper. He never once blum
dered in this odd method of selec.
ton.
"How do you manage to do that?"
asked bystander. at looks mir
aculous."
"Why I'm so used to handling
these papers" replied the blind
man, "that l can tell the papers
apart by their size and by the way
the paper feels when rubbed be.
tween my fingers. No two news.
papers in the city are printed on
exactly the same kind of paper, and
1t is as easy for a blind man to tell
them apart as it is for him to tell
the denomination of the different
coins or bank notes. Nobody can
make me believe a dollar bill is a
five-dollar bill, and in the same way
] can tell Sun from Herald or a
Times or Tribune every time

weighed about fifteen pounds, and ds..h- wns

Attention, Road Overseers.

A the sitting of the present term Of the
n Court, charges were made in the pre-
sentiment of the Grand Jury against the
paesent Board of County Commissioners for
neglect, as IL seemed, to enforce the present
road laws.
Some time ago we reminded you through
our county paper that your roads inust be
put in passable condition until more leisure
time could be had from farm work for q
thorough working.
Not having needed this notice, we now ask
you, that without further delay your roads
DO thoroughly worked, and that for any
further neglect you will be held to strict
account.
Wo mean what We say, sld nothing else
the blame for the bad roads must rest where
IL belongs, SO govern yourselves accordingly
BY order Of the Board Of County Commis'
sioncrs. II
