iargylv more than doubled during the de-
eide ending with 1860. it decreased nearly Il
third during tue decade ending with 1870.
The falling of is no doubt due largely to the
excise tax levied on it during the war and

POSTAGE STAMrs-llow PREPARED.
As soon a, they emerge from the hydraul-
ic press, postage stamps ARE gummcd.
The paste is made from clear starch, or
rather its deXtrnc, which is acted upon
chemically and then boiled, forming
clear, smooth, slightly sweet mixture.
Each sheet Of stamps is taken separately,
placed upon fiat board, and its edges
covered with light metal frame. Then
the paste is smcared on with IA largo
whitowash brush, and the sheet is laid
between two wire racks and placed on
| pile with others to dry. Great care IS
taken in the manufacture OF this paste,
which is perfectly harmless. This graft
flying fact has been cOncusivcly proved
by AN analysis recently made BY an en-
nent chemist. After the cumming, an
other pressing in the hydraulic press fol-
lows. Then another counting in fact,
stamps are counted no less than thirteen
times during the process Of manufacture.
The sheets are then cut in half, each por-
ton containing one hundred stamps, tins
being done by girls with ordinary hand
shears. Next follows the porforations
which is performed by machinery. Tho
periorations are first mnde in perpen-
dicular line, and alterward in horizon
tai line. Another pressing follows-this
time to get rid Of the raised edges on tho
back Of the stamps made by the dies, and
this ends the manufacture. A separate
apartment is devoted to the picking and
sending off the stamps to the different
post offices. 1t will be seen by this ac-
count that any absurd rumors concern
ing the poisonous or unclean properties
of postage stamps are utterly without
foundation.

LAWS OF THE RoAD.-The new Code

gree as to endanger the safety Of his pas
sengers, the owner on receiving from any
such passenger written notice of the
fact verified by his oath, must forthwith
discharge such driver and if he has such
driver in his service within six months
after such notice, he incurs like penalty.
The driver Of vehicle used to convey
passengers must not leave the horses at
tached thereto while passengers remain
in the same without first securely fasten-
ing the horses or placing the lines in the
hands Of some other person, SO as to pre-
vent their running, under a penalty of
twenty dollars for each offense.

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 1. 1873.

SOME idea of the magnitude Of the
New York postal service may be obtained
from the following, which we find in Il
New York papers report Of the effect of
the recent snow storm: The accumua-
ton of mails through the failure of the
trains from the West to make their prop
er connections created blockade in the
New York post-office, which it required
great labor to break. On Saturday, the
unopened mail-bags were so great that a
force of one hundred men was kept at
work all night distributing the letters
and newspapers. The through mails by
the Erie and the Pennsylvania Central
Railroads due the night before, came in
yesterday and again the large open space
in the post-ofiice was filed with bags,
piled one above the other. The day
force who had taken the places of the
weary night workers, toilcd faithfully in
order that the merchants might have
their mails in the morning. AS the pile
of undistributed mails grew perccptibly
lower, the overland California mail, one
day overdue, arrived, and was followed
by 80 bags by the European steamer
city of fNeiU York, and the regular Ha-
vana mail by the steamer HaUdNd.

PROPOSED AERIAL VOYAGE. - John
Wise, the well-known aeronaut, has it in
contemplation to make balloon trip
across the Atlantic next Summer, prcpa-
rations for the great aerial voyage being
in course of arrangement now. The pro
tessor, it will be remembered, made the
famous air trip from st. Louis to the
eastern extremity OF Lake Ontario, dis
tance of over twelve hundred miles, in
the short space of nineteen hours, or at
n rate of about siXty-three miles an hour
He feels entirely confident of his ability
to make the quickest trip on record across
the Atlantic. Quite number Of scion
tltic gentlemen have made application to
accompany him in this greatest of all
balloonng expeditions. As showing how
far America is ahead in aeranautics, so
far as distance travelled is concerned, the
longest trip ever made by n European
balloonist was only four hundred miles,
while that Of Professor Wise was three
times that distance, and what is more,
the greater portion OF it was accomplished
in the midst of II cyclone, and with three
passengers beside himself. -Ihii0deipht0

THE elder girls of the Portland (Me.)
High School have started very sensible
reform in dress. The movement was en-
tirely spontaneous on their part, and is
certainly worthy of imitation. They
have drawn up a set of resolutions which
they are circulating for signatures. The
object is to introduce general planness
of dress for school, and also to do away
with the usual full dress parade on exam
ination day, the dress for that day being
the same as the ordinary dress. The
style of dress is to be plain, becoming and
convenient; if any color, to be relieved
by gold plated buttons and fancy belt,
having upon the buckle the date of grad
uation, like that upon the boys caps.
Jewelry is to be limited and lace and such
like ornaments strictly prohibited.

THE MEETING OF STANLEY AND
LIVINGSTONE.

Descending the western slope of the
mountain, the port Of UjUi lay below,
embowercd in palms.
"Unfurl your flags and load your
guns !" cried Stanley.
"Ay wallaw, ay wallaw, bana :" eager
~ responded the men.
"Onc, two, three" and n vollcy from
fifty muskets woke up the epeaceful village
below. The Kimngozi raised the Amer
lean flag once more the men stepped out
bravcly, as the crowds Of villagers came
hocking around them, shouting B6ide-
ra Nmthamir' an American flag.
Stanley hcard a voice on his right say
in English, Good morning, sir"
The blood lcaped hcrcely to his heart.
Was it then true? Livingstone was near
at hand
A black man dressed in long white
shirt announced himself to the young adj
vcnturor as "Susi, the servant OF DR..
Livingstone"
What? Is Dr.. Livingstone here ~
"Ycs, sir"
ain this village ,"
"Ies, SIR"
care you sure ?"
"Surc, sir. why l leave him just
now"
Then another servant introduced him
self; the crowds nockcd around an W;
Stanley scourged himself to keep down
| his furious emotions and finally, at the
head of his caravan, arrived before II
semicircle Of Arab magnatcs, in front Of
whom stood an old white man with gray
beard.
As Stanley advanced toward him he
noticed that he was palc looked wearicd,
had on his head Il blush cap, with faded
gold band around it, red sleevcd waist
coat, aud pair of gray tweed trowscrs.
He would have run to him, but he re-
membered the traditional coldncss of tho
English race and SO he walked delibcr-
atcly up to him, tool, of his hat, aud said:
"Dr. Livingstone, presume ?"
"Ies," said he with kind smile, lift
ing his cap slightly.
Then they cln~pcd hands, and after tho
necessary formalties with the Arab mag
mates, Mr.. Stanley explained himself and
his mission.
1t was great day for the old explorer.
There were letters from his children
"Ah," he said, "puticntly have waited
years tor letters" There was n whole
epic of pathos in his voice.
And you may picture for yourselves
that strangely-mct pair, seated in the eX
plorcr's house, Livingstone hearing for
tho first time of the great changes in Eu-
rope, aud Stanley offering brimming
goblet of champagne, brought all the way
from the Jesuit mission Mt Bagamoyo !!
! They sat long together, with their faces,
| turning eastward, noting the dark shad-
ows creeping up above the grove of palms
beyond the village, and the rampant Of
mountains, listening to tho sonorous
thunder Of the surf of the Tanganyilla,
and to the dreamy chorus which tho
night insects sang. When Livingstone
bade Stanley Good night" he added,
"God bless YOU"
Mr. Stanley remained four months in
the company OF DR.. Livingstone, during
which time an intimate and rich friend
ship grew up between the two men. Stan
ley brought youth, impulse, generous
freedom Of eXprcs,ionNnd long experience
gave deep gratitude, thorough Christ
inn love, and the wisdom Of nge to the
companionahip, -Sc,1dncr's for Ju,ua-

a NICE BIT OF Irony Here is very
nicely prepared little cap that any man
could wear with impunity: The lone
somcness of some married men when
their wives are away, said a simple mind
ed lady, speaking of the Summer flights,
is awful. There now is Mr.. Jimmeny.
lie is so cast down that he never comes
home except with latch key, End then
he pounds his poor lone hands on the gate
for an hour, before he cnn got in, and his
voice is SO lost in the gloom that all his
words run together and nobody can un-
derstnnd what he says this time Of night,
and then too, he goes down to the lNke
with n lady in the buggy to console him
for the absence of his wife, and he don't
get back-it takes so long to mollify a
lone husband you know until the soda
water shops are all shut. Then too he
comes home with three or four married
men whose wives are gone Summcrin'
and he turns ON the gas in his house to
make it look cheerful, and they all put
their legs over the front Of the gallery,
just to cure their terrible loneliness, and
then they sing-oh, such songs-if | did
not know their wives were gone and that
they were really tryin' to kin melancholy
| should think they had drank drop too
much; but know that can't be so, for
their wives don'tikc it, and they wouldn't
do anything when their wives were gone
that they scofned to do when they were
