The Revenue stamps aud their Uses.

The Revenue Stamps and their Uses.
We have already stated that the Postmaster
is the source from which the public will de.
rive their supply. As the stamp law is
backed BY heavy penalties, and as ignorance
nowadays is sin, people should bea, in
mind that infringement Of the act is likely to
occasion trouble. Every business and legal
instrument requires stamp. Receipts, checks
drafts. due bills, insurance po'ices, articles OF
agreement, bonds, mortgages leases, custom
house papers, and even passage tickets to
foreign ports are among the instruments Of
writing that will bear no validity without .
stamp. - ~..s.s.* *>s ...s.asos.s.: @.~, G..s.~
F. A two cent stamp must be affixed 10 every
check Or sight draft exceeding $50 IN amount
Prosnissorv notes OF drafts must bear Eve
cent stanpand upwards, according to amount:
Without this the note has no legal value
whatever. Power Of attorney and dscer,ifcates
ofstock need atwenty Eve cent stamp. Deeds
will require from SO cents upwards, and
leases ditto. Il ticket to Lou.loo or Paris
must be stamped At cost of from so cents
to one dollar. " ~S' 1#@.s S$ssssas
So on bills Of lading, lnanfests, and on

American society.

In America, more even than in Europe,
there is but one society whether rich or
poor, high or low, commercial OF agricul-
iural Ii is everywhere composed of the
snme elements It has all been raised or
reduced to the same level Of civilization.
The man whom you lett in the streets Of
New York, you fud again in the solitude
Of the far West the same dress, the same
tone of mind, the same language, the same
hnhits, the same amusements. No rustic
simplicity, nothing characteristic of the
wilderness, nothing even like cur villages.
This peculiarly may be easily explained.
The portions of territory first and most
fully peopled have reached n high degree
Of civilization. Education has been prod
igally bestoN ed the spirit Of equality has
tinged with singular uniformity the do
mestic habits. Now, il is remarkable that
the men thus educated are those who every
wear migrate to the desert. In Europe a
Inau lives and dies were he il born. In
America, YOU do not see the Representa-
uyes of a race grown and multiplied in re-
tirement having long lived unknown to the
world and left to its own Efforts The in
habitants of an isolated region arrived
yesterday, bringing with them the habits,
ideas and wants Of civilization. They
adopt only so much of savage life as is abb
solutely forced upon them; hence you see
the strangest contrasts.
You step from the wilderness into the
streets of city, from the widest scenes to
the most smiling pictures of civilized life.
If night does not surprise you and force
you TO sleep under a tree, you may reach a
village where you will fLd everything,
IL, G., g..
Paris. The shops of Buffalo or Detroit are
as well supplied with all these things as
those Of New York. The looms of Lyons
work for both alike. You leave the high
road you plunge into paths scarcely mark
ed out you come OF length upon Il.wed
field, hut built of rough l.gs, lighted by
a single narrow window, you think you
have at last reached the abode of IN Amer
Jean peasant; you are wr,ng. You enter
his hut, which looks the abode Of misery
the master is dressed as you are his Ian
guage is that of the towns. On his rude
table are books and newspapers he take.
You hurriedly aside to be informed what i,
going on in Europe, and asks what hat
most struck you in this country. lie will
trace In PAPER for you the plan of {
campaign in Belgium, and will teach you
gravely what remains to be done for the
prosperity of France. You might take him
for a rich proprietor. come to spend few
nights in shooting box. And, 10 fact
the log hut is only hating l.lace for the
Americana temporary submission to ne
cessity. As soon as the surrounding fields
are thoroughly cultivated, and their owner
has time to occupy himself with superfui-
ties, a more spacI, us dwelling will succeed
the log hut, and become the home of large
family of children, who in their turn, will
some day build themselves a dwelling il
the wIlderness.-Ateris de TocqueriIe.
