The New Issue of Postage Stamps
Some Curious Facts.


The designs of the new postage
stamps having been finally selected,
the National Bank n oteCompany, OF
this city, is now preparing to engrave
the plates from which to print them.
The Company intends to have the
smaller denominations ready for the
public by February if not sooner
Photographs of several of the busts
have been made, which are generally
excellent. The heads of Washington,
Lincoln, Webster, Clay and Scott
could not be improved, while Hamil-
tons is somewhat unfamiliar, owing
to the fact that it is taken from a
family bust, which does not repre-
sent him with the pc wdered hair and
'pigtail" of forefather days. His
appearance is more that of an an
cient Roman than an American
Jackson is to be stamped without his
historic coat collar, which will rem
der him unacceptable by the alas;
survivors" of the New Orleans fight.
On the whole, the designs are an
immense improvement on the pres
ent postage stamps, and will certain
ly meet with favor. The selections
were talked over and made by the
President, Cabinet, and Postmaster
| General.
1t may not be commonly known
that nearly all the postage stamps
for the country are made in New
York, in the upper stories Of Cooper
Union, by the above-named compa.
ny. Last year more than 100000,
600 were stamped and sent in every
direction from that building. The
nicely of work, care, exactness anC
constant supervision in their manu-
facture is something wonderful
Strange to say, out of this enormous
number, very few are lost or stoler
while they are being manufactured
or before they are delivered. In re
gard to the sticking gum now used
the Company state that article is put
on in sufficient quantity, but from
its lightness of color persons wet il
too much. They simply need TO b.
dampened to stick.
The new series will comprise heads
of the following distinguished Amer
leans: cent, Franklin 2 cent
jackson; B cent, Washington
cent, Lincoln 10 cent, Jefferson /:
cent, Clay /; Is cent, Webster; q
cent, Scott; 80 cent, Hamilton 81

Progress in Agriculture.

The present age is the beginning of
a mighty progress in agriculture.
and we may therefore look forward
with confidence to better cultivation,
larger crops, improved stock, and
more perfect implements of husband
ry. The intelligence and skilled in
dustry of the country are to be large
" involved in this movement, and it
is important for us to know and un-
derstand how best to promote this
great objec .. The question naturally
arises, thca, "what can be done TO
make farming moro popular with our
young mea, so as to induce them to
become farmers, and help forward
this work ?" We must first make
them feel that the pursuit of the
farmer is dignified and honorable
one; that it is az honorable to be
farmer, as lawyer, doctor, or mer-
chant. We must create an enthusi-
assn among our boys, and teach
them that the labor of the hand 2
not incompatible with the labor of
the brain. With the mind 10 help
the hand, labor becomes light. We
must inspire an earnest love for the
calling. How can one enjoy greater
independence and freedom than as
a tiIler of the soil ? Think of the
folly of exchanging the independent
life Of that of farmer for the narrow
life of a clerk IN one Of our cities,
doomed for a lifetime to measure tape
and grow effeminate behind coun-
ter, earning hardly enough to pay
for ones board and clothes. Boys,
stick to the farm educate yourselves
for the work cultivate the mind,
and so Acknowledgment to manual toll.
Make your home the center Of taste,
refinement, beauty, honesty, frugai-
ty and industry, and out of these
will spring the purest life and no.
blest example. There is no object
that gives more pleasure and delight
TO the mind than farmers home
when surrounded by those adorn-
ments which are dictated by native
simplicity and natural love of beau
ty. 1t is the stuff out of which States
and Empires are built. 1t is the sum-

Condensed History of Steam.

About two hundred and eighty
years B. c., HER, of Alexandra,
formed toy which exhibited some
of the powers Of steam, and was
moved by its power.
A. d., 450, Athemius, an architect,
arranged several caldrons of water
each covered with the wide bottom
of leather tube, which rose to o
narrow top, which pipes extended to
the rafters of the adjoining building.
A fire was kindled beneath the cal
drons, and the house was shaken bv
the efforts of the steam ascending
the tubes. This is the first notice Of
the power of steam recorded.
In 1913, June II, Blaseo d. Garoy
tried steamboat of 209 tons with
tolerable success at Barcelona Spain.
II consisted of a caldron OF boiling
water, ana movable wheel on
each side of the ship. 1t was laid
aside as impracticable, A present
however, was made TO Garoy.
In 1860 the first railroad was con-
structed at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
The first idea of steam engine in
England was in the Marquis Of Win
chester's History of Inventions, A.
D. 1868.
In l710 Newcomer. made the first
steam engine in England.
In 1718 patents were granted to
Slavery for the first application Of the
steam engine.
1864 James Watt made tho first
perfect steam engine in England.
In 1876 Jonathan Hulls set forth
the idea of steam navigation.
In IT'S Thomas Paine first pro.
posed this application in America.
In 1871 Marquis Jouffroy construct
ed one in Saone.
In 1856 two Americans published
a work on it.
In 1889 William Tymington made
voyage in ono on the Fourth on
Clyde Canal.
In 1902 this experiment was re-
peated.
In 1882 Ramsey propelled boat
by steam TO New \ ork.
In 1873 John Fitch, ofPhiladeIphia.
navigated a boat by steam engine
on the Delaware.
In 1893 Oliver Evans, q native Of
Philadelphia, constructed 10 locomo-
tive steam engine to travel on turn
pike road.
The first steam vessel that crossed
the Atlantic was the Savannah in the
month of June, 1919, from Charles
ton to Liverpool.

never saw married man whose love
she could not win away from his

crying, begging me to give her hus-
band back to her, that he upbraided
her constantly because she was not

The Wages of Wives.

The coming despotism of the pet
ticoat government to be hereafter set
up by the strong-minded sisterh God
may be imagined when it is gravely
proposed by one of them that men
should pay their wives" they, Of
course, to fix the rate, and to charge
what they think their services are
worth. This is the last straw chat
breaks the patient domestic cancels
back. So it is not enough that the
poor Matrimonial Cooiie should see
less Of his house than any one else,
that he should toll early and late,
and barely take time for his meals,
pay all bills uncomplainingly, and be,
in short, the pack-horse of the fam
lily ; but he must, in addition to the
allowances, be blackmailed, caioled
and coaxed into actually paying cash
for every button sewed on or gar
ment mended. This is really an APP
palling prospect when the ease with
which buttons come off is consider
ed. The general bad condition of
the linen of the men of the nation
may now be accounted for. A wide
spread conspiracy to reduce it to a
buttonless state and then strike for
"wages" has now been discovered
through the talking propensities of
one of the conspirators. The plot
will fail, thank heaven, the tailors
still live aud will be true to us for a
small consideration in button emer-
gency.

The Years Work.

The year 1869 has witnessed the
completion of some of the greatest
works Of the century, and carried
the world forward with grander
strides in the pathway of material
progress than any other single year
in the recollection of the present
generation. l. has rarely been CIV
on IT, any ono man to witness the
realization OF taGo schemes 80 impor-
tant TO the prosperity of all civilized
nations as tho opening of a canal
through the desert and a railway
across u whole continent but that
these great events should have been
crowded into one short year is indeed
remarkable and significant circum-
stance. The French engineer, with
rare combination of enthusiasm
and patience, has succeeded in carry
ing out project as old as as the ages
OF the Pharaohs. In this fast land
of oars q project that is worth any
thing is never suffered to grow old |;
and men had scarcely begun to talk
about crossing the uninhabited plains
an6 mountains with three thousand
miles of iron rail before the pick and
the shovel commenced clearing the
way and years before the most san
guine dreamed of seeing the end the
work was finished. Thus by two
wonderful achievements of engineer
ing the distant East is at the same
moment brought next door to Amer
lea snd next door to Europe; the
old currents of trade are changed /;
and with the change commerce pros
perb and life is felt in desert and de-
cayed countries.
These are the chief labors which
have been crowned during the year
1862. Others hardly less important
have been planned out or begun
As France cut through the sands of
onez, so America is preparing to cut
through the forests of Darien, aud
open a new ocean route which will
be easier, safer, and more practically
useful than the dangerous path from
ths Mediterranean to the Arabian
Sea. The year 1870 will doubtless
witness the beginning Of this work,
and date by no means very dis
tant may be set for the celebration
OF its close. BY that time perhaps
ell our Western wildernesses will be
crossed by the locomotive and dotted
wltb settlements and great Ameri-
can steamship lines will be ready to
take their freight at the Atlantic and
Pacific ports and pass through the
new channel which will be opened
between the two oceans.

MIR. Peabody's Resting Place.

Harmony Grove, the spot selected
by George Peabody for his burial, is,
says AppIeton9s Journal, beautifully
wooded, rising ground, situated upon
the northwestern boundary OF Salem,
in Massachusetts, and itself border
ing upon the line Of the town now
called Peabody. Upon the princi-
pal street Of the latter, lately the
South Danvers of his early life, the
visitor still sees the house, with its
small shop front, in which, as the
boy Of village store, many of the
youthful days of the great philan-
thropist were spent. The little win
dow of its narrow attic is that of his
bedroom. From its elevation above
the streets he doubtless often looked
out upon the rich landscape, which,
Gin all the country round" indenti-
flies ancient Danvers as one of the
most beautiful of the New England
towns. Among its features nearest
Salem, with which be is familiar,
perhaps the leafy shades of the ridge,
now known as Harmony Grove, may
have been prominent. In his day it
was charming resort for a leisure
or playful hour. Like many an
other similar locality, however, in
the neighborkood Of the older Massa-
chusetts towns, the playground OF
the holiday has become the quiet and
tasteful resting place of the dead.

Secretary Boutwelps Pan for Funding
the National Debt.


Washington Correspondence New York Herald
= Ii has already been stated in the
newspapers that Secretary Boutwell,
intends to urge upon Congress a
plan which he has matured for the
funding of about 81 900, 900, 900 of the
national debt at four per cent. or
lower. In addition to the facts
heretofore stated in regard to Mr..
Boutwell's plan, it may be mentioned
that it contemplates taking up the
Five-twenties now due, and in their
stead issuing the new bonds. 1t is
expected that this measure will be
violently opposed by the bank inter-
est and bondholders generally. The
Secretary, however, has made up his
mind, and will not be swerved from
his purpose. AS far as the banks
are concerned, if they oppose it he
will take steps to encourage the es-
tablishment of institutions on the free
principle. The proposition of Mr..
Boutwell,, if put into operation, will
warrant an almost immediate release
of the great bulk of the articles of
internal taxation from the severe
burdens resting upon them at pres
ent. Over $4,000, 900 are now re-
CURED to pay interest alone. By the
reduction contemplated it is thought
that with safety taxation can be re-
moved from all necessaries, leaving
spirits, malt liquors, tobacco, aud
incomes to provide the balance re-
CURED in excess of customs. The
funding is also considered an actual
demand, in order to produce favor
able competition between the en-
ployment of capital in bonds and
industrial enterprise as an invest
ment. The present high rate of iu-
terest, it is admitted. cripples the
industry of the country, as United
States securities not only provide a
safe and convenient Investment, but
also pay high rate of interest. In
regard TO the tax on incomes there
is disposition on the part of the
Secretary to favor increasing the
amount exempt 10 Si,0UU or % ,UUU,
and to tax all incomes over that
amount. He takes the ground that
the present arrangement is not fair
proposition. For instance, a person
with an income of 81, 800, and prob
ably a large family TO support, pays
forty dollars income tax per AMMAN,
an amount he can hardly spare,
whereas those with large incomes
can pay theirs without stintiDg them
selves or their families. He considers
the income tax just, as it is q tax
upon the surplus wealth of the coun-
try, and it anything should bear its
share Of the financial burdens of the
Government, it is considered the net
is certainly very nearly the first. 1t
is considered that this new scheme,
when put in force, will admit of a
reduction of the army of internal
revenue appointees, and the system
will permit of a material simplifica-
ton and saving of expense.
