him out, and instead of requesting him
to come home, dear father, as poor

How PosTAGE STAMPS ARE MADE.-Ir
,,printing, steel plates arc used, OF
which two hundred stamps are en-
!; graved. Two men are kept hard a,
work covering them with the colored
inks and passing them to man and
girl who are equally busy at printing
them with large rolling hand presses
Three Of these little squads are EN-
plsyed :, all the time, although ten
presses, can be put into use in case OF
Necessity. After the small sheets Of
paper upon which the two hundred
stamps are engraved have dried
reReugh, they are sent into another
; rcsm and gummed.
The gum used for this purpose is a
peculiar composition, made of the pow
der of dried potatoes and other vege-
tables mixed with water, which is
better than any other material, FIR in
stance, gum arabic, which cracks the
paper badly. This paper is also of a
peculiar texture, somewhat similar to
1hatused for bank notes. After hav
ing been again dried, this time on lit
tie racks, which are famed by steam
power for about an hour, they are
put between sheets Of pasteboard
: and pressed i'll hydraulic presses, cap
: able of applying weight of two
thousand tons
The next thing is 10 cut the sheets
in half: each sheet of course, when
cut, contains a hundred stamps.
Next they are pressed once more, and
then packed and labelled, and slowed
away in another room, preparatory 70
being put in mail bags for dispatch
ing to fulfill orders.
If a single stamp is torn. or in any
way mutilated. the whole sheet Of one
hundred is burned. About five hum (,
dred thousand are burned every week |
from this cause. For the past twenty
Years not single sheet has been lost, |
such care has been taken in counting
them During the progress Of manu-
featuring. the sheets are counted elev-
en- times.

Tho letter Of. General Robert G.
6chcnck on draw poker, published
In yesterdays issue Of the Courier
Journal, contains several suggcs-
tions. We had previously given
the facts touching tho American
Minister'S innocent jcu d'esprit.
30 far from disqualifying him for
diplomatic efficiency, we showed
that II did in reality point to one
Of his strongest features--that Of
IN amiablc and accomplished gcn-
tleman at the Court Of st. James.
II was the Cincinnati Gazette
which, guided by parvenu instincts
and inspired by long-haircd,
smng-faced and canting Pharisec-
ism, affected to bc shocked by the
irreligious habits Of one whose
wicked politics and questionable
stock transactions It has long de-
Tended and excused.
The high eminence as a poker
player to which our Minister to
England has climbed, is q matter
Of national pride. "sevcn-up'
on . log was . favorite pastimc Of
brother John A. Logan before ht
joined the church. John could
worry the suckers Of Illinois ouI
Of their greenbacks at this game
but he could never understand the
complications Of the moro scion
tific game Of draw poker. In thil
department cf illustrated litera'

that he waltxes the Prince Of Wales

snort.

" Another case was decided,
IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS,
and those who have many en-
ploycs. 1t was q case in which q
man carrying ON an extensive lum-
berins business on the coast pur-
chased tobacco by the box, aud
furnished It to his hands at cost,
but to none others, aud was in
formed against for carrying on tho
business Of retail tobacco dealer
without having first paid the spe-
cial tax. The Court charged tho
jury that to constitute . tobacco
dealer within the meaning Of the
internal revenue law, there must
be . selling or Offering 10 sell for
. profit that every person who
sells or offers to sell tobacco will
bc presumed to sell for q profit,
until the contrary Is shown by suf.
ficient proof. Tho proof being
clear that no profit was charged,
the defendant was acquitted. The
tax Is only $5. We advise all plan
ters and others who supply their
hands to pay the license and charge
the cost to their hands, as the pre-
sumption 10 against them, to re-
move which costs much moro than
the license; even whcn acquitted,

It was contcnded gave them o pre-
