Blind But Ingenlous.

A marvellous instance, of euososa achieved in the face of difficulties fa seen in the case of a blind man in Sao Francisco. He is proprietor «f a large shop, an inventor, a skilled mechanic, and a musioian. His stock in-trade m of an extensive kind, but he serve, s the customers, keeps his "hop in tickets the goods, keeps the accounts, and, in fact, does all the work of the business with little or no assistance, His records and entries are made by means of a system of pegs and raised types, but he trusts mainly to hie memory as regards the sums owing to him from credit ' Thftgq'pdj he sells range in she and variety from matohea to waihtubf, and from needles to gardening tools, but so methodically is everything arranged that he can at once place his mind on any airt'cJe required. He practically fitted up the shop himself, making the cupboards, shelves, and everything,' in fact, but the counter? He even constructed some of the tools with which he worked I His mechanical skil|. has further expressed itself in efeotrical'contrivances. He has rigged up electric and lu vented an electrical eigardighter fof the use of customers.
