 Hiu, the great philanthropist. and in ventor of penny postage, was born on August H. 1772. His fighting qualities clustered again in his descendant. Sir
 Rowland But the Viscount fought for Princes; Sir Rowland for the poor In 1885 his fearless originality and largeness of view, flung itself into the question: How shall the poor send letters at 1 shilling and pence (33 cents) each?" The Government hos tile to him; insults and abuse his DOT
 ton, yet he steadily pressed his scheme---the penny stamp. Every
 obstacle was thrown in his path. Par liament foame5i at the mouth, and de- clared he would ruin the country, and
 upset the Throne. The official world guffawed when he appeared before a Commission of Post Office Inquiry, to describe his invention---the penny stamp---"an adhesive postage stamp a. bit of paper, just large enough to bear the imprint of Her Majestys bust, and covered at the back with a glutinous wash"
 But the diplomatic ability, and the dare and push of his old ancestor in his veins carried him through to trt- unph for the people. On January TO- 1s4o, penny postage was established. The gross revenue rose from 1000, 900 to 4,O00, GOO pounds. The business of the Money Order Office multiplied g fold. Honors were now heaped upon him, and statues erected to him. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, London---the highest honor a. grate- ful nation could accord to him.
