From the n. Y. Evening Post Oct. E,
The New Postage Stamps Radical
Change in their Manufacture.

In June last, Postmaster General Ran
dali advertised for proposals for fur
nishiDg the government with postage
stamps for "A term of years. The COM
mittee of experts appoi nted iOr the
purpose, decided in favor OF the N att on
al Bank Note Company of this city,
ana on Saturday last the Postmaster
General awarded the contract to that
Company for term of four years.
We have been shown proofs of the
new stamps and they reflect credit up
on the artistic taste of the company.
The two cent stamp represents post
boy on horse running at full speed, il
lustrating the fact that this stamp is
mostly used for dispatch letters.
On the three cent stamp there is a
finely engraved locomotive. This is
surroundedb by lines of lightning, indica-
ting the speed with which the letters
are carried on which this stamp is used.
The five cent stamp has an excellent
portrait of Washington.
The ten cent stamp has an excellent
microscOpical copy of the painting OF
the signing of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence, bringing in the rOtunda at
Washington.
The twelve cent stamp, mostly used
for foreign postage, has picture Of a
steamer at sea.
The thirty cent stamp has copy of a
painting of the surrender of BurgOyne,
hanging in the rotuudH of the National
Capitol. One of the characteristics OF
of the stamps manufactured by this
company is that the ink used prevents
persons washing and using the stamp a
second time, The fiber in the center OF
the stamp is broken completely, and
they adhere better, while the ink OF
cancellation sinks into the paper.
The engravings on these stamps are
remarkable copies of historical pictures
and bear the test of micrOsopical ex-
animation.

sea-sickness.

If your enemy is bad sailor, shake
hands with him when you land, for you
have been reveuged in watching
him at sea. Of all the dismal
ills, the dismalist is sea-sickness. Let a
man break his leg, he will lie in bed
with no desire to die. Let him lose his
arm, or catch the smallpox, or get
bloated with the dropsy; the desire Co
retain life is ever with him. He will
live while he can. But let a man be
sea-sick. and life grows an intolera BILE
burden. He will gaze over into the
depths of the blue waves with a yeaTn-
ing to set his stomach to rest beneath IL,
Can anything be more morbid than the
expression of his eye? What more sug-
gestivo of suicide than the color of bis
cheek? How he hates everybody. The
Odicious steward, not unmindfuI of
some prospective fee, who bobs so un-
tiringlY about him, with mop and a
basin, he loudly execrates between the
gulps of his ever-recurring meal. He
smells distant cigar-there is a flavor
of death IN the hideous odor-ah! what
would be give 10 be on shore again.
There is something so awful in the go
ing up of the vessel, and something so
abominable in the going down. 1t is a
rising that seems only to carry ones
head with il leaving il in the air hCr-
rtbly giddy and confused. Then fellows
the low sinking-a movement that
seems to snbvert the whole anatomy of
the body-thrusting the stomach into
the throat-the heart into the feet
whilst the head is left still, up in the
air, dazed, yellow emptied. How a
man envies the bow-legged steward,
who seems as incapable of being upset
by the jerk of the steamer as if he we're
one of those China figures with round
bottoms, which you may sometimes see
in the toy-sEops' How cheerily he
thrusts his mop about; how gally he
answers to the chOked and distant cry
of Steward" How astonishing to
watch his steady progress along the
heRving deck, his arms full of basins
and his complexion as unpaled by the
proximity of the horrid vessels as II
each cheek were an apple.

WiIbersOros University.

Before as lies copy of an earnest ap-
peal addressed to the pastors Of differ
ent churches, in behalf Of the Wilber-
force University, requesting that on
Thanksgiving Day collections be taken
up for the benefit OF this institution
We know of no more worthy object any
where, and give our most hearty in
dorsement to the request. WilberfOrce
University is located near Xenia, Ohio,
and Is the only institution of the kind
in the State under the exclusive con-
troll Of the colored race. Many of our
readers will remember that, in the year
1865, ten days after the murder of Abra-
ham Lincoln, an incendiary applied the
torch to the institution, laying the en-
tire property in ashes. The colored peo-
pie, bitterly disappointed by the loss,
have since devoted themselves earnest
ly to the work Of rebuilding, and have,
in part, succeeded. One wing of tho
building has been nearly completed,
and the remaining portions commenc-
ed. But the great lack OF these people
is funds. But few OF the cOlored race
are engaged in the more lucrative clas-
ses of Industrial employments, and
their resources are, therefore, generally
meager. IL is in their deep poverty
that they have struggled, and from
purses containing but little have the
means been drawn for forwarding this
work. Surely, no people are more tru-
ly worthy of liberal assistance than
these, In their efforts to educate aud
elevate their race. The charge IS often
flung at them that they are an ignor-
ant race. Let them 30 helped in their
efforts to gain and, In the
future, the charge shall be false.
We therefore cherish the earnest hope
that this request may find hearty and
large response. Among the directions
given for observing an ancient great
thanksgiving were the following; $50
your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet,
and portions give 10 them for whom moth
ing Is prepared" Let this Thanksgiv-
ing day be observed after this divinely
directed manner, and thus the best
proofs OF a sincere gratitude will be
furnished. Contributions may be sent
by draft, or post office orders, TO Mr.

Trustees, Xenia, Ohio.-Religlolts Tole.

Great Speech by Senator Summer.

We make the following extract from
the eloquent speech Of Senator Sumner
delivered at Cambridge, Mass, Oct. Sd.
1t will be found highly worthy of at
tention.
If, as in ancient Rome, we demanded
the heads of the Senators and orators.
if, as in England, we took the life and
estate OF all traitors; If, as in GERMANY
we fatigued the sword with slaughter
and cried "havOc;" if as in France. we
set up guillotines, and worked them
until the blood stood in the puddles
beneath; ia, as in all these historic co1n-
tries we acted in pitiless yengeant.e. if
IN anything we have done or ATTEMPTED
there was one deed Of vengeance, then
we Too might deserve chastening CEN
sure. But all that we have done, next
AFTER the safety of the Republic. is for
the good OF those who were our enemies
and who despitefully used us. The
words of the Holy Writ NAV be echoed
oy US; Let us build these cities and
make ABOUT them walls and towers,
gates and bars, while the land is vet
before u.s." III. Chron. XIV. ~ Never
oeIore was elemency so sublime; never
1,S1 9i1[e 1.99, was rebel people surrounded
py Dehehcence so comprehensive. Great
as was the Republic in arms, it is great
er sui in the majesty of its charity.
30 lar as the reconstruction acts have
been assailed, I am ready to defend
them against all comers. And I repel
at the onset every charge or suggestion
of harshness. They are not harsh, un-
less it is harsh to give man his due
Ifthey are harsh, then is benefcenee
harsh, then is charity harsh. It is only
by outraging every principle of JUS
uce, stln1ng every sympathy with hu-
man rights, and discarding common
sense, and still further, by forgetting
all the sacred obligations of country,
that we can submit to see political pow
er in the hands of rebels. No judge
ment is too terrible for us If we consent
to the sacrifice. For the sake ofthe freed
man, for the sake of his former master,
for the sake of all, and for the sake of
the Republic, this must not be. There
fore, were the Reconstruction Acts
adopted by immense majorities in both
Houses of Congress as the guarantee of
peace. The aspiration of our leader
was III every line and word "Ilet US
have peace"

Postmasters throughout the country

notice of the fact-stating, if possible,
the reason why the paper is not taken.
The returning TO the publisher of pa
