How Postage Stamps are Prepared

AS soon as they emerge from the
hydraulic press, postage stamps are gum
med. The paste is made from clear
starch, or its dextrine, which is acted
upon cl e'nically aud then bold, form
ing clear, smooth, slightly sweet mix
turo. Zach sheet of stamps is taken
separately, placed upon fiat board, and
its edges covered with light frame.
Then paste is smeared on with largo
whitc-wash brush, aud the sheet is laid
between two wire racks and placed on
pile with others to dry. Grea, c1re is
taken in the manufacture Of this paste
which is perfectly harmless. This crafty
ing fact has been conclusively proved
by an emineat chemist. After tho
cumming, another pressing in the
hydraulic press follows Then anoth
countlngi IN fact stanps are counted no
less than thirteen times during the pro.
cess Of manufacture. I he shoots are
then cut in half each portion containing
Que hundred stamps, this bcing done by
girls with ordinary hand shors. Next
follows the pcrforation, which is per
formed by machinery The rerloraton
is first made in Perpendicular liue, and
aflerward in horizontal line. Another
pressing follows-this time to yet rid of
the raised edges on the back of the
stamps made by the dies and this end,
the manufacture. A second apartment
is devoted to the packing and sending
of to the different post Offices 1t will
be seen by this account that any absurd
rumors concerning the poisonous or uu
clean properties of ithe postage stamps
are utterly without foundation.

AnIntoxicated bridegroom.

A Vicksburger and bride arrived in
the city yesterday, and put up at one Of
our leading hotels. The bridegroom at
tended the theater with some friends,
but being induced to drink the health OF
the bride rather too often became Rip
Van Winklish. He was arrested, and
unfortunately pistol was found in his
possession, which left him with State
case on his hands, and placed him in a
position requiring a heavy bond to
answer before the Criminal Court, or in
default of bond to sleep in the station
house during the night. In the mean
time the bride knew not why the object
of her affections fingered or was absent.
Upon the delicate surroundings of the
case being explained to the Chief Of
Police, he, being a married man, knew
how it was himself as to the absolute ne.
cessity of husbands being at home, and
concluded that as the unfortunate was a
stranger and just married he had some
excuse for being intoxicated-with joy,
however, instead Of vile whisky. The
Chief delivered a sound moral lecture,
and the bridegroom was permitted to
depart in peace.
