New POSTAGE STA1Ps.-Th two-csnt
stamp represents post.boy on horse
running at full speed, illustrating the
fact that this stamp is mostly used for
dispatch letters. On the three-cent
stamp there is a fnely-engraved loco
motive. This Is surrounded by lines of
lightning, indicating the speed with
which letters are carried on which this
stamp Is used. The fiye-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 indie
pendsnce hanging in the rotunda at
| Washington. The twelve-cent stamp,
mostly used for foreign postage, has a
picture OF a steamer at sea. The thirty.
cent stamp has a copy Of painting o
the surrender of Burgoyne hanging in
4 the rotunda of the national capitol
i One of the characteristics Of the stamps
is that the ink used prevents persons
from washing and using the stamps
second time. The fibre in the centre
ofthe stamp is broken completely and
they adhere better, while the ink o.
