STIMPS-HOW PREPARED


As soon as they emerge from the by
draulic press, postage stamps are
gummed. The paste is made from clear
starch, OIL rather its dextrine, which is
acted upon chemically and then boiled,
forming a clear, smooth, slightly sweet
mixture. Each sheet of stamps is taken
separately, placed upon a fiat board, and
its edges covered with a light metal
frame. Then the paste is smeared on
with a large whitewash brush, and the
sheet is laid between two wire racks and
placed on a pile with others to dry.
Great care is taken in the manufacture
of this paste, which is perfectly harm
less. This gratifying fact has been con-
clusively proved by an analysis recently
made by an eminent chemist. After the
cumming, another pressing in the by
draulic press follows. Then another
countng-in fact, stamps are counted
no less than thirteen times during the
processes of manufacture. The sheets
are then cut in half, each portion con-
tanning n hundred stamps, this being
done by girls with ordinary hand shears.
Next follows the perforation, which is
performed by machinery. The perfora-
tons are first made in a perpendicular
line, and afterward in n horizontal line.
Another pressing f~ollews-this time to
get rid of the raised edges on the back
of the stamps made by the dies, and
this ends the manufacture. A separate
apartment is devoted to the packing and
sending off the stamps to the different
postoftices. 1t will be seen by this &C
count that any absurd rumors concern
ing the poisonous Oh unclean properties
of postage stamps are utterly without
foundation.

WOMEN WORKERS,

The new census of the United States
shows that, to a greater or less extent.
women have managed to creep into all
kinds of employment. There IRE in the
United States "a women dentists, 81 fe-
male clergymen, 525 female physicians
and surgeons, 80 women glnsmiths, 6
female BARRIERS, 2 female hostlers, 1876
female draymen, Z female sections, 10
canal-women, 4 female gas-stokers, z fe-
male gunpowder-makers. 4S female stock
herders, 2 female professional hunters
and trappers, and, strangest of all, 16
female ship-riggers and l female pilot.
Who says that the women are not COM
ing to the front? By the time that the
next census is taken we shall probably
have some female Judges, and, perhaps,
a Senator or two.

The London papers say that from the post
mortem examination in tho case of Napoleon,
that while death was the result of a sudden
shock from the operation twice undergone,
added to the severe suffering which followed
on each occasion, and all acting upon q consti-
~tutional state already desperate, it was not due
to any miscarriage Of the operation itself.
The disease of the kidneys was pronounced to
be Of such . nature, and so advanced that it
would in any case have shortly a determined
fatal result, Death followed within 20 min
utes from the time the Emperor was seized
with the fatal symptoms, he having been un-
conscious throughout, and, Of course, also in
sensible to pain, and spared from the pangs Of
death.

Hon. Jon E. STEVENSON, Republl.
can member OF the Forty-second Con-
cress from Cincinnati, according to the
Commercial OF that city, recently made
the following pointed statement in re-
lation to affairs in Congress and the ma
ton: THE jobbers have captured the
big as well as the little in Congress. and
men high in position are specializing In
the subjects and fruits of their own leg
islatiou. We did not get the full list OF
names involved in AMEs' construction
companies. 1t is perfectly impossible
for any man who has put himself in the
hands Of jobbing interests in Washing
ton to act with fairness. The legisla-
tor VINO speculates in the subjects OF his
own legislation saves the lobby the trou-
bic of capturing him; lie surrenders in
advance. Who can tell how fsr this

THE St. Louis Dispatch OF the l3:h
inst, says: ut is reported on pretty
good authorty that the Pittsburgh and
Wheeling iron manufacturers, recognlz
ing the impossibility Of competing with
Missouri in the reduction OF her ores,
are quietly buying up all the mineral
lands offered for sale as the only method
OF protection left to them. A Wheeling
company lstely bought one OF the
richest mines yet opened in this State,
and is now shipping direct to that point
for manufacture there, from ten to
twenty car loads daily"
1t is probable that more plausible
explanation OF these transactions may
be found than 1.-The impossibiiity OF
competing with Missouri in the ceduc-
ton OF hel ores

THE VOTE TO-DAY.

The citizens OF Ohio county will be
called upon 10 vote to-day, npon the
question whether or not authority shall
be given to the Board of Commission
ers 10 subscribe $4,000 to the capital
stock of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and
Kentucky railroad company, in addi-
ton to the s225,O00 heretofore appro-
priated to this enterprise. A good deal
of public interest has been excited in
relation to the matter during the pas:
few days, and all who have cared to in'
form themselves as to the merits OF the
question have had an opportunity to
do go.
Suffice it for the present to state that
the managers ofthe Pittsburgh, Wheel.
ing ard Kentucky railroad company
discovered few months ago, that their
available funds would fall about So. -
900 short of the sum required to fin
isb the road-bed in accordance with
the contract with the Pennsylvan ia
company. In order. however, to guard
against all contingencies, they resolved
to ask for $50, 900 to be divided equally
between the counties OF Ohio and
Brooke. Brooke county has already
complied with the call and made the
appropriation, and Ohio county is to
determine to-day whether her share
shall be paid.
1t seems to us that whatever opinion
we may entertain az to the economy OF
the management of the company 8
atfsirs 10 the past, there can be but one
opinion as to the policy OF voting the
additional subscription asked for to-dsy.
Regret it as much as we may and con-
denim as we may whatever errors have
been committed, the fact which now
confronts us is that the county will
lose the money already paid unless the
people are willing 10 pay little
more. In its present condI-
ton the road bed is worthless; il
can be of 10 service to anybody
and the only way in which It ia possible
for us to get any portion OF the benefit
hoped for at the time the building OF
the road was resolved upon, is by fur
nishing the funds necessary to finish 1t
without delay. The longer it remains
unfinished, the more money Will be
ultimately required to get the road n
working order. According 10 the estio
mates of the engineer, the sum
now asked for will be sufficient
il it is given promptly; but II
the money is now refused and the work
com PEELED 70 cease tor even a single
month, larger sum than is now called
for will then be necessary. 1t is mani
fest therefore that, as matter Ct
economy, toe subscription should be
authorized by the popular vote

ANOTHER pRONUNCIAaENTO.

The present, although the OH year
in West Virginia politics, has neverthe-
less given rise to several movements
that are worthy OF note. Among these
we have already noticed the demand of
the regular Republicans that the go
called independent Democrats must
at once come into the Republican Or
ssnization or else cut loose from it en-
tirely. We publish this morning an
article from the West Virginia Journal
re,tcratrg ita former declaration IN re-
.ard 10 this matter, aid app
plying the lash pretty vigorously,
not only to the JACOB men
but also to our friend OF the HtclhGencsr
who seems disposed to linger in gentle
dallisnce with the Jacobite beauties OF
this section of the State. We have
taken the liberty OF italicisiug certain
portions of the article which seem to
us most emphatic aud most significant
Whatever may have been the agree
ment or, as some of the Republican
papers put it, the supPosition, elsewhere
there can be no reasonable doubt that
in Charleston, the very centre and
source OF the JACOB movement last iall
The Independents dit promise
TO be neutral in the campaign
for the support OF the Constitution, and
this promise was the consideration for
Republican support Of Governor JACOB.
1t was a direct and plain bargain; 1t
contemplated the trading OF so many
votes for JACOB in return for so many
against the Constitution. In the trans
action the Republicans were cheated,
because, after having received their
hire, the JACOB men refused 10 fulfil
their promise after receiving the
pay, they declined 10 deliver the goods.
1t is this alleged bad faith that has
Disguised the editor Of the journal and
other intense and hopeful Republicans
and led them TO move for an immediate
dissolution OF the partnership.
The blindness and faulty OF the
Republicans in supposing for a
moment that the JACOB men '0ouSd
fulfil an agreement to cut their
own tbroats, is only attributable to
the influence o. the "dog-days and
snake season" 10 which the Jowna!
refers. The defeat Of the constitution
would have been the defeat OF JACOB
and il was unreasonable to expect the
champions OF the distinguished
boiler to put such an extin-
guisher upon his hopes. Inc Ne
publican leaders deserved to be iooled
rs they were, though We cannot COM
mend the morality OF the transaction.
The vsuuted strength OF the original
ard straight-out Republicans after the
expulsion Of the JACOB men, will hardly
justify toe Journals confident and
boastiul assertion. At al events, the
Democratic party will not shrink from
the contest, but will gladly measure
swords with its adversary whenever the
proper time comes. 1t is TO be hoped
however that in future political contests
there may be some matter Of principle
involved, rather than as IN the last CAM
paign the personal grievances Of two or
three disappointed politicians.
