THE POSTAGE STAMP,
Some Worth Fifteen Hundred Dollars.
Has k ever occurred to you that
postage stamps, the new Columbian
stamps for instance, are really.min
iature steel engravings? The aver
age person who sticks one of these
works of art on an envelope does
not think of this; but if van will
look closely at the two-cent stamp
a you will see that it has all the del
icacy and detail of a steel portrait.
If you prefer the blue variety you
can purchase a genuine steel engrav
ing (without frame) for a cent
And if you chance to have money
to the old paid marks. The first
adhesives were of five and ten cent
denominations. In 1863 the famil
iar two-cent stamp, containing the
head of Andrew Jackson, was sent
out. From that time to 1885 the
uniform style adopted contained the

The Columbian stamps as stamps
are a great improvement over their

art, and the fact that they were is

the skill of the engraver did-not ex

spares none. For years this mon
strous system has held captive
the farmers and wage earners of
the South.
It has afflicted the farmers more
heavily than any other class •' of
buyers, and next to the farmers it
has damaged the merchants. The
system of buying on long time and
selling on long time, as long as
eternity often, has yearly sent hun
dreds of merchants to the abyss of
commercial oblivion.
The farmer who has fallen into
the habit of buying through the
year what he needs—and often
wbat he doesn’t and having every
thing charged until fall, does not
realize that hq is helping to pay the

The Woman'and the Baby.
A woman got into a street car
yesterday afternoon. She was car
rying a sweet faced baby, which was
not more than six months old.
The car was detained on the cor
ner where the woman got on, and
she shifted around nervously in her
seat for a moment and then began
to toss the baby about. Here is a
true description of what she did
wi.th the child while the car was
going three blocks:
Held it upright on one knee for

products. But while we know that
the raw material lies all around us

and expert men to operate them.
And these are the very things which
we have not. What then is to be
done ? ' ■ '''&SS

The Centennial of 1876 also was
commemorated by the post office de
partment, but in a different manner.
A souvenir envelope was issued,
with a shield shaped stamp in the
corner, ft represented a mail car
rier of the olden time, riding on
horseback at full speed. Below was
a modern railway train. The stamp
was of the denomination of three
cents. At the top were the figures
“1-776,” and at the bottom “1876.”
As a'work of art it was inferior to
the new Columbian issue. It was
the only special issue of United
States stamps up to that time, ex
cept a fifteeu-cent stamp represent
ing the landing of Columbus which
Arasr issued in 1869.
• Do not suppose that stamp making
is an easy' nor even a rapid process.
Everj part of the work is performed
.by band. The designs are first en
graved on steel and two hundred
stamps are engraved on a single
S te. The work of inking these
tes is done by two men, and
they then go to a man and girl who
print them on a large hand press.
Three sets of these workers are kept
constantly employed in this manner.
As fast as the stamps are printed
they are dried and then gummed
with a starch paste made from po
tatoes. The paste is dried by plac
ing the sheets of stamps in a steam
fanning machine," and then the
stamps are put into hydraulic pres
ses and subjected to a pressure of
two thousand tons. A girl with a
large pair of shears next cuts the
sheets in two, each sheet when cut
containing one hundred stamps.
The paper between the stamps is
then perforated, and after again be
ing subjected to hydraulic pressure
they are filed away ready to be
sent out wheu ordered. If a single
stamp is injured in any wa3’ the en
tire sheet is burned. The sheets are
counted eleven times during the
process of manufacture to prevent
pilfering by employes.
The history of postage stamps in
this country is so inseparably con
nected with the history of the postal
system that it is necessary to review
the latter in order to understand
how stamps came to be used. It is
almost incredible that less than fifty
years ago the United States really
had no postal system as we under
stand it. Previous to 1847 the
mails were carried largely by pri
vate firms, and rates of postage
varied according to the distance
traversed. To send a letter across
the continent cost nearly as much
as a telegram message at the present
day. And. though costly, the ser
vice was by no means satisfactory.
Much of the "mail matter was of
necessity entrusted to carriers on
foot or horseback, and their progress
was of course very slow.
Prior to the introduction of the
adhesive stamp, letters were sent
either pai l or collect at the option
of the sender. Under this sy stem
stamps were in little demand. It
was tbe custom to mark prepaid let
ters with‘paid mark,” and each
office Was allowed to adopt a design
«.-f Its own. The usual device was
the word ‘•paid.” with the amount
and the addition of one or more
stars, tim whole surrounded by a
circle. During the first years of
the late civil war this old system
was revived by the Confederate
States, which were without stamps.
Ia some instances the ordinary date-
mark was altered, and thus the name
rf the towii appeared with the word
■yiaid,” apd tbe amount, five or ten
Aits, as the case might be. This
system was in vogue in the Confed
erate States until about January 1st,
1862, at which time they issued
their own stamps.
Tbe inconveniences of this “local”
system, as it is called, were so many
that, before the new issue on adhe
sive staqips came out, a plan was
devised to furnish marked envelops..
The chief objection to the “paid”
stamp was that all mail had to be
brought to the postoffice to be mark
ed. This was obviated by tbe
envelope system—the government
marked the envelopes in advance
and selling them to consumers.
Returning to our narrative, we
find that in 1846 many of tbe post-
offices had issued stamps of their
own. These were called “provi-t
sional isssues,” aim the most valua
ble of these local stamps are those
of. Millbury, Masi.. now worth
$1500, of w hich only six examples
are known to exist, and of Brattle-
boro, Vt., now valued at $600.
in 1847 the adhesive stamp ap
peared in this country, following
close on its adoption in England,
and iu 1856 a law was passed mak
ing the prepayment of postage com

for.—Rome Tribune.
“I had been fishing for trout one
day in a North Carolina mountain
stream,” said a sportsman to • a
Globe-Democrat man, -‘and was en
tirely unsuccessful. Upon trying to
reach camp I became lost- and took
refuge for the night in a small cave
near Grandfather mountain. The
cave was dry and comfortable, and
making a pillow of my coat I soon
fell asleep. The next morning I
was awakened by something pulling
at the coat, and opening my eyes
saw that it was a cub bear. A few
feet distant was a large bear sitting
on its haunches, and another cub
playiug around her. I had no
weapon of any kind and was com
pletely at the mercy of the animal,
but she w r as not in the humor to
dispose of me just then. She sat
watching the cub as it pulled at my
coat, and I was careful to make no
motions that might be considered as
hostile. For two or three hours we
looked at each other, and then the
mother bear ambled off with her two
cubs and I beat a hasty retreat.”
Two new federal prisons are to he
erected by the government—one in
the North and the other in the
South. The Atlanta Constitution is
confident that the latter will be
located in that city. For the sake
of common humanity, if for no other
reason, a Southern prison should
have been provided long ago. Pris
on life and discipline are severe
enough under any circumstances,
but to subject a man born and
raised iu the South to the rigors of
a Northern climate frequently re
sults in legalized murder. Atlanta
is the proper place for the Southern
penitentiary.—McDuffie Journal.
A queer wager is being, carried
out at the City Methodist church,
of Freeport, Ill. A prominent mem
ber of the congregation jokingly
offered to furnish aH the wood for
the church that two of the young
lady members would saw. They
have set to work with a will, and
promise to provide a fuel supply for
several years. The other members
of the congregation are taking con
siderable interest in the matter and
wondering whether the man’s gen
erosity or the women’s pluck and
muscle will give out first.
The Glenn act, which requires
the several railroads in this State to
pay taxes to the counties through
which they run, after successfully
passing the ordeal of the State courts
has been declared by the highest
Federal tribunal to be constitutional
and valid. It will bring a big sum
of money into the State treasury, if
the back taxes since its passage are
still unpaid. It is a very important
event to Georgia, and settles a great
question for all time.
A majority of the committee on
banking have reported against the
repeal of the ten per cent, tax on

port against the income tax, but
when it got before the House the
amendment went iu by a large ma

to rule the House. Let the bill be
reported back at once and then the
tug of war will come. The bill can

In the death of George W. Childs
not only Philadelphia, but mankind,
sustains a great loss. He lived in
Philadelphia, but belonged to the

limits, and he did good wherever he

philanthrophist in the highest sense
of the word. The world is better
because he lived, and will mourn
that he is dead.
Congress allows members of the
House each a private secretary, fixes
the salaries of the secretaries at
$1,200 and provides the money for
their pay. It has been whispered
about Washington that some of the

salaries in their pockets, and there
is talk of an investigation to be
asked for by a member from Ohio,
The tariff bill should be disposed

Why we must get them.
And right there comes the rub;
and right at this point—more men
and more money—the Chronicle
has been addressing itself for sortie
time past. There never was a time
when we needed them more, and
there never .was a. time more favor
able to their procurement by united
and intelligent effort. In seasons
of financial depression, men become
dissatisfied with their surroundings
and are sighing for something bet
ter. Times are dull with us, it is
true, but they have been worse in
of her sections, and the farmer of the
East and the farmer of the West are
sore at heart- That the South has
advantages jn climate and soiL to
offer these farmers cannot be gain
said, and proper presentation of the
facts to them by a colonization so
ciety thftt was supplied with land
eligibly located in the South, would
win many of them to this Section.
These are the sort of men we want
to people our vacant lands and
build up our waste places. There
is room for thousands more in Geor
gia- .... .. . - ... .
We also need capital to put up
new industries, and the opportuni
ty to obtain it is equally favorable,
During the year there were thou
sands of idle spindles in the North
and West. In the South they were
running on full time, paying full
wages, and earning dividends. Is
not this calculated to attract the
man with money to invest? He
wants to put his money in industries
that promise returns and in a local
ity least subject to interruptions
frtjHtelimate, labor troubles, or fi-
naffifil disturbances. The South
offers all of these advantages.
The men and the money are both
crowded in the States of the East to
the point of congestion. They both
are eager for wider latitude and bet
ter opportunities. The South fur
nishes just the conditions they are
looking for, and the South needs
just the things which are too crow
ded in the East. Was ever a time
more favorable for the South to go
there iu an organized capacity and
place before these dissatisfied men,
and this restless capital, the won
derful field of operations that awaits
them in the Southern States.
Will n#t some active spirit take
hold of this matter and put it into
practical shape? The time is ripe.

They were rival candidates for a

a chance to win. It’s a donkey to

Overeating vs. Overwork.
An abuse that tends to the injury
of brain workers is excessive eating.
A writer in the Medical Mirror re-
calls to mind sevtral active brain
vvorkers who suddenly broke down,
and fancied that it was due to brain
fatigue, wheu, as a matter of fact, it
was due to overstuffing of their
stomachs. The furnace connected
with mental machinery became
clogged up with ashes and carbon
in various shapes and forms, and as
a result disease came, and before the
cases Yvere fully appreciated, a de
moralized condition of the nervous
system was manifested, and they
laid the flattering unction to their
souls that they liad indulged in
mental ot'erwork. ,
Hard work, mental or physical,
rarely ever kills. If a mild amount
of physical exercise be taken, and a
judicious amount of food be fur
nished, the bowels kept in proper
manner, the surface protected Yvith
proper clothing, and the individual
cultivates a philosophical nature
aifd aboslutely resoh T es to permit
nothing to annoy or, fret him, the
chances are that he can do an almost
unlimited amount. of YVtirk for an
indefinite length of time, bearing in
mind always that Yvhen weariness
conies he must rest and not take
stimulants and work upon false cap
ital. The tired, worn-out slave may
not be scourged to additional labor.
Under such stimulus the slave may
do the task* but he soon becomes
crippled and unfit for work.
The secret of successful wo:k lies
in the direction of selecting good,
nutritious, digestible food, taken in
proper, qualities, the adopting of
regular methods of work, the rule
of resting when pronounced fatigue
presents itself, determining'abso
lutely hot to permit friction, worry
or fretting to enter into his life, and
the cultivation of the three graqes,
charity, patience and philosophy.—
Scientific Afnerican.
