Tar ScARc1rY OF CHANer.-The

Detroit Advertiser d Tribune, in noticing the great
scarcity of change, says: We suggested two or
three days since, the propriety of using postage
stamps for change during the almost utter absence
of silver. The Pittsburg Dispatch, referring to the
same subject, says: 1.-The scarcity of change has
made business men devise many expedients for
change, very neat of which came to our notice
day or two since. The Postofice Department
directs that Postmasters shall change treasury
notes where three dollars worth of postage stamps
are purchased. The party sends to the postoffice
green-back fise and buys three dollars worth of
stamps, receiving two dollars in silver as change
Eight'red and blue stamp answer very well for a
quarter in making change, and beside the party re-
ceives two-fifths of his investment in coin. The
plan strikes us as being good one, although it
would, if extensively followed up, prevent much
coin finding its way to the postoffce. But this,
probably, would prove no inconvenience, as. judy
ing from the fact that nckels are refused for pos
tage when offered in a sum above three cents there
can be no scarcity of coin in Uncle Sans strong
box"
