Postage Stamps.

A. N. Zevely, Esq, the Third Assistant
Postmaster General. has Just issued circu.
lar to Postlnasters generally, IN which he In.
forms them that the recent demand by the
public for postage stamps, under an errone-
Gus impression with regard to the law au-
thorizing the issue Of "postage currency"
has entirely exhausted the surplus stock, and
the department is now dependent upon the
daily manufacture to meet tho acquisitions
of Pos,masters. He therefore instructs Post.
masters that sales of stamps must be restrict
cd to such as may be needed by the public
for prepayment Of postage, the ordinary de-
mand at any Office being the guide. And,
inasmuch as the unadvised use of postage
stamps as circulating medium has soiled or
defaced them in greater or less degree, and
evil persons, taking advantage Of that cir
cumstance, have put into circulation stamps
which have evidently been used in prepay.
ment Of postage every Postmaster IL instruct
ed to treat Us unpaid any letter placed in q
Post Ollico for mailing which may he covered
with stamp at all sdiled or defaced, or
which has apparently been used in payment
Of postage. Such letters will DO sent at once
to the Dead Letter Office. IL is important
that the public. as we'll US Postmasters. should
bear these instructions in mind. The De-
partment has repeatedly, by special letters
and official announcement, declared It's oppo-
sition to the sale and uss Of postage stamps
for currency, foreseeing the results OF such
course on the part Of the public.-Nation-
al lnteHigencer.
