How Postage Stamps are made.

printing, steel plates are used, on
which two hundred stamps are en-
graved. Two men are kept hard at
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-
ployed all the time, although ten pres
ses can be put ia use in case of neces-
sity After the small sheets Of paper
upon which the two hundred stamps
are engraved have dried enough, they
are sent into another room and gum
med.
The gum used for this purpose is a
peculiar composition, made of the pow
der of dried potatoes and other vegeta-
bles mixed with water, which is bet
ter than any other material, for in
stance, gum arabic, which cracks the
paper badly. This paper is also of a
peculiar texture, somewhat similar to
that used for bank notes.
After having been again dried, this
time on little racks, which are famed
by steam power for about an hour,
they are put between sheets of paste
board and pressd in hydraulic presses,
capable of applying weight of two
thousand tons. The next thing is to
cut the sheets in half; each sheet of
course, when cut, contains hundred
stamps. Next they are pressed once
more, and then packed and labeled,
and slowed away in another room,
preparatory to being put in mail bags
for dispatching to fulfill orders. If a
single stamp is torn, or in any way
mutilated, the whole sheet of one hum
dred Is burned. About five hundred
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 manufacturing,
the sheets are counted eleven times.

Grants Third Term Letter.

CHICAGO, June 1st.-A Times
Washington special says: The Presi-
dents third term letter is the main
topic of political tally and there are
two very decided opinions on the sub
ject Friends of the Administration
say the letter sets at rest for ever the
third term scare: while, on the other
hand, it is regarded by large number
to mean that Grant is candidate for
the office. The letter has given rise to
no end of discussion, and from the
dissatisfaction expressed over it, it is
clear that the President has not set
tied the question. SSH

Al the convention of Insurance Commits
-ioners in New York, last week, Hon. John
A. Finch, special commissioner Of iusur-
anee of Indiana, made an earnest and able
appeal in behalf Of legislation for the better
protection Of the rights Of holders Of life
policies, asserting that as now conducted, the
business OF life insurance is altogether a
one-sided affair, the companies having every
thing their own way, and policy-holders pay
ing for far more than they receive. The
subject was referred TO the committee on
legislation.

HEAVY fNlrHE-Ono Of the heaviest failures
which have ever occurred in this state is that Of
shepard, Davis Co., the extensive lumber deal
rs, in Burlington which took place last week
The Immediate occasion Of TIE failure was the
suspension Of the house Of Shepard. Han 4
o., Of Boston They were compelled to sus-
end for two causes, viz. tic heavy transactions
which they were complicated with parties in
anada and the great depreciation in the price Of
lumber during the last year. They will imincdi-
uely call meeting of their creditor. and make
statement Of their affairs, when Il Is hoped ar
engagements will be made for the resumption Of
their business. The extensive mills Of the con-
Germ werestopped Friday morning and their large
'orco OF employees discharged The members Of
the firm are Otis Shepard, Of Dorchester, Aiassa-
chuseits, George C. Nichols, Of Charlestown, Mas
"chnsetis Lewis 4. Hall, Of Cambridge, Nlassa-
ehusetls, Mial Davis, George II Morse and VIM
\ Crombie, Of Burlington All these gentlemen
ave high standing as business men and citizens
IND IN their misfortune, which we sincerely trust
WI be temporary, they will have the most sim
ere sympathy of the entire population Of the
lues in which they reside It is hoped that ar
angemenis will be made by which any further
ioprage OF mills and consequent throwing out Of
'mp'oyment OF the one hundred and fifty em-
hoyes OF the firm, will be avoided The assets
u the hun are reported very large, and fully
enough To cover their Indebtedness.
