Human ingenuity has as yet failed to pro-
duce an ink To be used for canceling postage
stamps which possesses all the properties
required by the Post Office department. An
official Of that department estimates the loss
10 the government yearly from the use of
washed stamps which have done prior ser
vice at one million dollars. The estimate
may be too high, but there can be no doubt
That the amount Of loss Is considerable. Or
binary ink can be washed from the stamp
with simple soap and water, and ink pos
sessing the indelible property of caustic can
not be used because of the injury ii would do
TO the hands of the stamper Perforating
stamps have been recommended, but they
are considered Objectionable because they
are Liable TO injure the contents OF letters,
and for the reason that constant use soon
renders them dull and ineffective. Still
another suggestion is that the stamp itself
be made of poor quality of paper OF a
porous character which would thoroughly
absorb ordinary ink and render the removal
of the latter impossible without the destruc-
lion of the stamp. The great problem vet to
De solved is, can an iLdelible ink be made
which does not contain caustie in any form?
Until some device more effective than the
present one Is found the government must
lose large amount OF revenue annually
through the cupidity of petty knaves.

New York Board of Trade on Tuesday. on
the running of another fast mail train To the

congress the necessity of passing such laws

service is extended to all sections No slow
coaches will be tolerated hereafter.

Darling Hank Robbery.

WINTHROP, Me-, July "a. The rob-
berry of the Eighteenth National bank
last night was most bold operation.
The safe was blown open by glycerine,
as Is supposed, there being no indica-
ton of powder. There were three dis
tinct EXPLOSIONS, all ofwhich were heard
by several persons. Tho robbers left
within ten minutes of the last explO-
sion, which was so severe rs to blow
out all the windows in the front part
of the bank, and caused general
smash up inside. The contents of the
iron safe were so badly mutilated, and
so many fragments were left, that it Is
thought the amount realized by the
robbers could not have been large.
The capital stock of the bank is one
hundred thousand dollars, and the
amount of the deposits in the saving
bank was about ten thousand dollars.
The safes of both institutions were
rifed of their contents. The standing
of the bank, the directors say, will not
be impaired. A despatch says that four
men were arrested on suspicion, near
Bethel. AS the distance from here is
about forty miles, it is doubtful If they
could have got so far in the time they
have had.

Massacre.
Bishop Smith ON the Stand as

SALT LAKE CRY, July 2i-dreat
excitement exists here over the details
OF the Mountain Meadow massacre ~
narrated by Bishop Smith, the State
witness.
The testimony Is TO the effect that
thirty M0rmons, with the assistance
of large number OF Indians, decoyed
the emigrants from their entrench-
monts by flag OF truce; that all were
murdered except seventeen children;
that the deed was not done under the
order of n leader Of tho Mormon
church; Brigham Young on hearing
the news of the massacre deplored the
transaction, and said 1t would bring
disaster on the Mormon people.
This statement, In the main,
confirms the Lee confession. The new
indictment upon which the case is be-
ing tried, charges Dame, Elliott, Weld
er, VIM. G. Stewart, Geo. Adair, Jr.,
Jno. NJ. Bigbee, Isaac g. Haight, Sam
