New Postage Stnmps,

WASHINGTON, June I3.-The Postmaster Gen
eral is engaged in determining on new style of
stamp envelopes, to be ready for public use in
few days. The new stamps will not be fur
nshed until the lst of August.
These changes have been rendered necessary
by the large supplies retailed by the Postmas-
tiers in the seeded States, and now used by
them without equivalent to the U. S. Post Office
Department.
About two dozen of these postmasters have
returned the balance of stamped envelopes and
stamps i'll sums ranging from so cents to so dol
lars. The postmaster at Mobile recently and
honorably accounted for $4,000 worth
Although the postmaster at Memphis had in
his possession property amounting to SO 900,
he wrote for an additional supply of large value,
but this was refused his dishonest intentions
having been detected.
