GREAT FEATs or MEMORY.
London Youth of Long Ago Who Re-

London Youth of Long Ago Who Re-
membered All He Had Read.
The London Times recently pub
lished an extract from It's columns of q
century ago in which were related the
remarkable feats of memory performed
by T. P. Oldfield, who died at Grotto
House, Margate, In the sixteenth year
of his age. The extract reads:
"At the age Of 51a years he had
scarlet fever, which brought on him
paralysis Of the lower extremittes and
debilitated his body for the rest Of
his life, but his mind presented the
finest display of human perfection.
Whatever he read he instantly had
by heart; his favorite pursuits were the
mathematics, philosophy, astronomy,
geography. history and painting, in all
Of which he made a great proficiency.
His favortte authors were Locke and
Newton, and his retentive faculties
were so strong that he never forgot a
single incident with which he had been
once acquainted.
HE could relate every circumstance
Of Grecian, Roman and English his
tory; was master of astronomy, and
had pursued it up to all its recent dis
coveries; had the finest taste for draw
ing and painting. and would frequently
take admirable likenesses of persons
who struck him from memory. He
wrote hand like copper plate, and
at q very early period In life had mazda
himself master of arithmetic.
HE was never known to be out of
temper, and though he suffered an ILL.,
ness of ten years, which terminated
In a dropsy and bursting Of a blood
vessel upon the lungs, he was never
once known to repine or be impatient
His wit was brilliant and refined and
his loss will ever be regretted by those
who had the happiness to know him. j"
