recollect what papers require a stamp and
the amount to be affixed. We present the

cents on each hundred dollars if under one
hundred dollars, five cents, if over one hun
dred dollars, five cents on each additional
hundred dollars or part thereof All receipts

dollars, two cents if twenty dollars or un-
der, nothing. All deeds and deeds Of trust,
fifty cents on each five hundred dollars in
value Of the property conveyed or the
amount secured; when deed in trust Is
fully stamped, the note secured must not be
but they should be indorsed to show the rea-
son why. Mortgage bonds need not be
stamped if stamps are affixed to the mort
gage. All appraisements, estates, or estrays,
five cents on each sheet of paper. Alfdavits
of every description are exempt from stamp
duties. Acknowledgements of deeds, etc,
also exempt Contracts and agreements,

The halfbreeds Of the Red river settle
ment are reported to be in great destitution,
in consequence of the disappearance Of
buffalo from their vicinity. and the destrue-
tior OF their crops by grasshOppers. Their
hunting parties have recently returned from
the plains empty handed, and report that
the buffalo had all crossed the Missouri
river. As they have depended heretofore
on dried buffalo meat and 'pemican for
their winter supplies, it is thought there

PERPETUAL MoTIoS.-The editor of the
Reading (Pa.) Dispatch is responsible for
the following:
If there be such a thing as perpetual mo-
ton, We had the pleasure of witnessing it
this morning at the Office Of DIR. J. J.
Upegralf, No 439 Penn street Dr. u has
been engaged for eight months past In the
philosophical work Of perfecting this great
undertaking, about which there has been so
much talk and over which so many men
have racl,ed their brains and squandered
fortunes in days gone by. His work has not
proved futile, as we are convinced In our
own minds from actual observation. The
machine is simple in construction. and de-
rives its power from four balls mechanically
arranged on levers, which start themselves
and continue rolling along on their great
scientific mission until stopped by other
powers There is no doubt that this new sys-
TEN can and viii be made to work as long as
the material out Of which it is constructed
will last The model is now In running or
der and on exhibition at the above named
place, where it can be examined for few
days previous to being sent to Washington.

ga Fair Deal" or a Free Fight

The Hon. George e. Pugh is one of the
most conservative statesmen in the country.
His private character is without a blemish
his public record the most virulent radical
cannot imperch. In a recent speech this
distinguished gentleman said:
After they (the radicals) have committed
every outrage possible, they say, let US have
peace. Applause.
When you have restored the white man
and black man to their proper conditions In
the Southern States, let the white men vote
to give the negro the right Of suffrage, if
they desire to do 1t, but don't cram it down
their thrOats in this illegal and violent man
ner; when there Is a fair deal of the cards
all around the board, then let every man bet
as he thinks best [applause] and there can
not be any peace until that time.
Now l am not a war man | am at an age
when | could not be conscripted into the mi
litia. Therefore, / am not anxious for any
war; but / tell you this, gentlemen, that
there shall be no peace until these outrages
are all set aside, and 1t shall make no differ
ence whether it Is in this election or IN any
other election. If they want me to go fur
ther, as to myself I will say that these out

which his friend was SO gaily and so light

DIPPED In SUNSET.
BY Q. NJ. DICKINSON.

Nv o,l.timc Friend, out in the dcwy wood,
Through whose lcar-hcavn the sunbeams come
10 drink
~, lain me down to sec II here could
Find aught to dream or think.
Here pools that bathe the foot of many tree,
Are making pictures set In frames Of sod,
And little spots of sky look down on me,
Calm as the gaze Of God,
Ills cloudy navies creep along the shore,
with sails half whitened by hundred suns,
And DER yon hill sailing aevcnty-four
Fires of her thunder guns
Here first saw the grassy fields grow brown;
And yestereven, ON some gracious breeze.
A dozen truant rainbows, floating down,
Grew tangled in the trees.
And first saw these fiery forests fling
Their painted banners to the breezes' fold,
And ycstersunset saw them crown king,
In robes OF red and gold
And irst saw the sumacs steal the blood
OF our dead Summer, to bepaint their leaves,
And saw the naples steal the sunsets flood,
TO mock the autumn ewes.
But now they blush and trcmble atithe theft,
And half their flchings to the earth have whirled
ASH they'd still some sense of honor left,
To shame this wicked world.
lIow straightway as think come back to me,
The glareless glory Of the summer suns
The happy heavens and the sunset-sea,
Where swan their little onesl
sec the Orchard where the sunbcams slide
Adown the branches of the fruited trees,
10 fleets of flowers that at anchor ride
On hillows of the breeze.
And sweet as changes Of the church's chimes,
| hear the River rippling out It's lays,
Through all that blessedest of summer-times,
Those goldenest of days.
Iit wicked winds have wasted all the flowers,
And rebel rainbows gather in my eyes,
Icannot, cannot leave those happy hours
That piece Of Paradise.
And am hoping that some blessed day,
When winds are warmer and the skies more blar
This lovely year will lose her path and stray
Back to her native land.

with robbng the mails we have already noticed,
had partial hearing at Baltimore Saturday.
