A modern Argus.

Mr. G. H. Smith c"mmumcates to the N. Y. Evening Post that there is a man living in that city who has four yes, two of them in the back part of his head. His name is Carl Saul, and he is thirty-five years of age. Both sets of eyes are periect, and he sees backwards and forwards at the same time with equal ease, comp ehending at a glance everything within the range of his vision, e. tlier way. The object which he thus simultaneously beholds, he will describe with wonderful accuracy. “Mr. \aui,” says the writer, “is a man of extreme diffidence, and the peculiarity of his visual construction has been carefully concealed and has heretofore been known only to some of his j intimate friends. The back of his head is quite ff.it; but lie has long hair which affec daily conceals the large eyes, which are generally protect dby a bandage. He is highly intelligent and social in his habits,and owns considerable property which he has accumulated by honest industry.”
