ONE MILLION-STAMPS. An Extraordinary Charity Crazo, Which Was Expected to Benefit an Old Lady. Prom the Philadelphia Press. Who has not within the last half genera tion heard of an old lady who was to be ad mitted to a home when she could produce a million canceled postage stamps? The old lady's namo was never told, nor was her place of abode located any more definitely, but for yours the collection has been going on. This morning carries chagrin to hun dreds of people, not only in Philadelphia and other towns in this State, but in Chi cago, Boston, Baltimore, New York and Washington, who have been enthusiastic in adding to that one of the million stamp col lections which was for “an old lady in Phil adelphia.” The old lady has been found, but she never wanted to go into a “home” and novel - lioard of any particular “homo” to which she could secure admission with a million stamps. Jlrs. Elieu Peterman is “the old lady in Philadelphia” for whom the latest collec tion, started in March last, has been in progress. In Roxborough and Germantown the craze spread to the school children, and the proudest soholar in the class was the pupil who i-mild show up the greatest number of stamps. Iti Sunday schools, too, the sub ject was agitated, and tho collection was largely increased by their contributions. 3lxny i>orsons who were asked to save their stamps to aid the old lady to get into a •■home" Immediately offered money, but it was respectfully declined. About a week ago me absurdity of tho attempt and tho blind way in which it was lloiug conducted dawned upon the mind of one of the young ladies who had been fore most in swelling the collection. Tlie more she thought about it, tho stronger became her belief that she and her friend were dupes of some ono, not ueoeesarilay dishonest, but certainly not well balanced. For five mouths she had been begging stamps from hundreds of hor friends, in tho unthinking lieliof that she was assisting in a grand work. She is one of Germantown’s society belles, and her two pretty sisters were also in the same predicament, having followed her loud in tho collecting. They did not want to return the stamps for fear of being laughed at, but they determined simply to stop collecting, and turn over the stamps already collected. This they did, giving 30,000 stamps to Dr J. G. Fling, of Penn street, Germantown. THE GERMANTOWN DEPOT. Since the collection commenced one of tho principal stamp depots was Dr. Fling’s residence. Here he would almost daily re ceive thousands {if stamps from persons who had received them from other persons who had received them from their friends, many of whom had in turn received them from other persons, etc. In Dr. Eling’s mail also were packages of stamps from scores of towns in this State. Reading, Harris burg, Scranton, Mauch Chunk, Pottsville, Norristown, West Chester and Chester sent a very respectable quota. All the stamps sent by mail were neatly tied up in packages of 100 each. At all hours of the day Dr. Fling’s door bell would call him to the door to take stamps from persons of all sizes and conditions. After Dr. Fling had received what he thought was about 50,- 000,000 stamps lie began to wonder whether, after all, they would do any good. He him self did not know tho old lady for whose benefit they were being given, nor her resi dence, nor her condition in life. He under stood that he was to t urn them over to his wife, who was to give them to a friend who know a friend of a friend of the old lady, and this friend in turn was to give them to somebody who had started the col lation who would see that the old lady was admitted to a “home.” It took a reporter two days to trace the stamps to Dr. Fling, from whom was obtained this information as a clue by which to ascertain whether the old ludv was alive, dead or a myth. When Dr. Fling reads this article he will know for thetii-st time the name and whereabouts of the old lady whom ho was helping to get into the home which she never saw and about which she had but so vaguely heard. It was an easy task to find Mrs. Peterman when tho string of middle-women was run out THE OLD LADY FOUND. Mrs. roternian was found occupying a single room in the old two-story* brick dwelling on the southeast corner of Trank ford road and Allen street, and the neigh bors to whoso kiuduess she owes so much are almost as poor as herself. She seemed surpris si when told what had been done for her. It was supposed by some that she made repeated applications to be admitted into a “home,” but tlmt not being a desira ble patient she had been told that to secure the admission she would have to collect 1,000,000 stumps, an almost impossible task. Mho told the reporter tlmt she had never tried to enter any home, although her trie tubs wanted her to go. Bhe is the last of her family, having buried her second hus band fifteen years ago. Her son died about a year ago, leaving several small children, the oldest being about 17 years old. This hoy and ono 0 years old pay the rent of rooms for their grandmother and their mother by selling papers. Tho oldest is somewhat of an invalid and is not capable of hard work. The !)-year-o)d boy is trying to enter Girard College in the fall. He is tho p‘t of his grandmother, and she takes a groat interest in Ids studies. Both of Mrs. Peterman’s sons, Andrew and Janies John son, died of disease contracted in the war of the rebellion. Tho family now live mostly on wbat is given them, and there is nodoubt in the minds of the neighbors that thov are worthy of assistance. -Mrs. l’eterman said she did not believe •hero was anything to lie gained bv collect mg stamps, but. knew nothing about it, ex repting Miss Prince’s vague statement that she rail heard of an instance where a boy "as admitted to a “homo” for a million stamps. .Miss Prince, bad 'induced some other por “ms to begin the collection, and soon there "ere many volunteers. SOME OK THE CONTRIBUTORS, lire. Elmer Smith, of 955 Warnock , ro't, was one of the first in the work; slio n.u contributed about 30,000 stamps ob tained from John VV.manmker’s. Mrs. Mi keiizie, of 4700 Germantown avenue, oils collected about 30,000; Mr. James Kitchen's friends gave about 30,000. Mr. woi-go Yocum, of the Pennsylvania rail !'"•"!

His letter "as never nnswerod. A BRAVE FRENCH DOG. One Who Led tho Life of a Soldior and Booamo Celebrated. Prom the Denver Tribune. hi 177'.) a young dog, who apparently had master, came, no one knew how, to Caen, f ranco; and met there a regiment of grena ’ "' l h starring for Italy. Urged on, appor ri'fl.v by destiny, he followed them. Ho was to all appearance n regulur street cur, dirty •mil ugiy, hut he had such a bright cx- I roxsion and sis mod so intelligent that they mu not hesitate to take him. His new com panions forced him to act a* sentinel, to obey w<n -1 r, to keep stop, to become accustomed to '"7 11,1 °I firearms, to obey roll call, anil ~ "tucr duties tho soldier* worn called t° perform. Ho received and ate his returns With them, and lived in every re* • ret us his regiment was commanded to do. going to Italy Moustache crossed Habit. * i Hard at the cost of unknown hardships Gi.l cuemuped with Uio regiment abom Alexandria. It was here that he was to accomplish his first great feat of arms. A detachment of Austrians hidden iu the Vailev of Balbo advanced in the night to surprise tho grenadiers and was heard by this vigilant dog as he was making his rounds. The soldiers were awakened by his barking. In a moment every one was on foot and the enemy dislodged. To reward Moustache the Colonel had his namo inscribed on the regimental rolls, and or dered that he should have every day the rations of a soldier. Hi? ordered that t here should be put on his neck a collar bearing the name of the regiment, and the barber was ordered to wash and comb him every day. Home time afterward there was a slight engagement, in which Moustache conducted himself very bravely. He here received his first wound—a bayonet thrust in the shoulder. It must be said here that Mous tache was never wounded except in front. About this time lie quarreled with the grenadiers and deserted because they had left him tied in the garrison. Taking refuge with a company of chasseurs, he saw a dis guised Austrian spy enter tho French camp. Moustache, forgetting the insult he had re ceived, welcomed the stranger by springing at his throat with much fierceness. This action astonished all at first, but they had time for reflection, and then remembered tho sagacity of tho faithful dog. The stranger was arrested, searched and found to boa spy. Moustache continued the series of his ex ploits. At the battle of Austerlitz, seeing the color-bearer surrounded by enemies, he flew to his rescue, defended him as well as lie could, and when the soldier fell pierced with bullets, enveloped in liis ow n colors, Moustache, seizing with his teeth that part of the glorious flag which he could get. fairly flow past the enemy, and brought back to bis company the blood-stained rem nants. It must be said here that a charge of musketry had taken off one of his legs. This beautiful action merited honor. They took off the collar he wore, and Marshal Lannes ordered that they put on him a red ribbon, with a copper medal bearing this inscription on one side: “He lost a leg at the battle of Austerlitz and saved the colore of his regiment.” On the other sido it read: “Moustache should be loved and honored as a brave French dog.” As it was easy to recognize him by his ribbon and medal they decided that, in whatever regiment ho should present himself, he should receive the portion of a soldier. He took part yet in several battles, and among others that of Essling (1809). He made with the dra goons two campaigns, and the brave dog fought every time ho had tlie opportunity. Ho always walked in front on the alert, barking when ho hoard any noise and could not find out the cause. Iu the Sierra Mo rena mountains he brought back to camp the horse of a dragoon who had been killed. It is said that at several times ho showed this same act of intelligence. Ho made his last campaign with tho artillery, and was killed at the battle of Badajoz, March 11, 1811, at the age of 12 years. They buried him on tho spot where he fell with his medal and his ribbon. On the stone which served as his monument they wrote, “Hero lies Moustache.” These simple words are more eloquent than the most pompous epi taph. HOW NECKTIES ARE MADE. A Manufacturer Tells of the Trade and Its Peculiarities. Tho designing of silks and satins for neck ties is a prosession in itself. “There are special grades and designs of silks and satins made exclusively for tho necktie trade,” said a manufacturer to a New York Mail reporter. “These materials are made from patterns designed by men who do nothing but study new things in this line. There aro from fifty to seventy-live factories in tho country and ton nr twelve first class makers. Tho latter usually secure exclusive rights to uso certain styles of gooils offered to the American market, or a large portion of it. But the success of making up such goods is just like a lottery. Perhaps one season I hit upon a design that will become so popular that all the other makers are forced to adopt it, hut the next season some ono in Boston or Philadelphia will make a hit, and lam forced to copy that. There’s never any telling how a necktie is going to take until it is fairly on tho mar ket. Then it depends for success on who adopts it first. It' he happens to be a swell, that particular kind of neektio will sell well.” “Are tho styles of making up neckties originated abroad?” • Not now. They were until about threo years ago, but now imr styles are superior to tiio Euroiiean, and they are coming over here for patterns. However, there is a ten dency toward English patterns for this sea son “There are more than 1,200 girls employed in this city alono. They work by the piece and make money more or less according to their expertness. A good finisher can make $8 or $9 a week. She takes a necktie after it is put together and finishes each detail perfectly so that it is ready to box. Three different colors of tho same design and same stylo are twisted together to give tho dealer an assortment in the one make. The fin isher must see that all of this kind are exactly alike in point of finish and make-up. We have ono girl who does nothing but turn bands of neckties, and she makes sls a week. She turns twenty-five or thirty dozon bands a day.” CUTICURA REMEDIES. ECZEMA And. Every Species Of Itching and 1-Jiirning Diseases Cured by Cuticura.
