THE origin of the stamp had a tingc
of romance in it. 1t is thirty
years ago that Rowland Hill, while
crossing district in north England,
arrived at the door Of an inn where a
postman had stopped to deliver a letter.
A young girl came out to receive it:
she turned it over and over in her hand
and asked the price of postage. This
was large sum, and evidently the girl
was poor, for the postman demanded a
shilling She sighed sadly, and said
the letter was from her brother but
that she had no money; and so she re-
turned the letter to the postman-
Touched with pity, Mr. Hill paid the
postage and gave the letter to the girl,
who seemed very much embarrassed.
Scarcely had the postman turned his
back when the young inn keepers
daughter confessed that it was trick
between she and her brother. Some
signs on the envelope told her all she
wanted to know, but the letter contained
no writing. eve are both so poor"
she added, "tbat we invented this
mode of corresponding without paying
for our letters" The traveller, con-
tinuing his road, asked himself if a
system giving place to such frauds was
not a vicious one Before sunset Row.
land Hill had planned to organize the
postal service on new basis-with
what success is known to the world.

THE Republican Workingmsn have no
disposition, we are convinced, to assist
the Democratic clique of Elkton or its
nominees. If they will reflect for a
moment, they will see that Republican
votes for the Workingmen's ticket are
votes against the Republican party aud
aid the Democracy. They reduce the
Republican vote, while the Working
mems ticket cannot possibly be elected

WASHINGTON is uncomfertably crowd
ed with statesmen who expect to be the
next candidates for the Presidency,
and there are plenty more scattered
about the country in Governors chairs
and on Judges benches. This great

IT is the unanimous opinion of the
Southern press that the President has
made mistake in not picking out a
Southern Democrat for the Supreme
Court vacancy. General Harlan is a
good man, say the editors, but he is not
in the right party. They think the
President has violated his own "recon-
citation policy There is a suspicion
in other parts of the country that it is
time the President rested little and
gave the South chances to reconcile
some ia return.

We have already received our valentine for
this gear. 1t is not pretty one, but what it
lacks in beauty is made up in mastery coloring
and skilful handling. The title is ga News
paper Man." and represents dropsical-headed
chap with Cronin nose, green coat and a
red pair Of trousers, going through piece of
ten cent muslin with formidable pair of
shears. You may have noticed that all editors
wear green coats and red pantaloons A quill
inserted behind comprehensive ear exhibits
much feeling, and is unlike anything found in
medieval art Very much unlike it. The
color in the nose is laid on with a reckless Law
ishness and brush, and doesn't suggest the
Goittesque style of painting to any appreciable
extent The abbreviated coat tails are remark
able for breadth of effect and absence of feeling
of the fugsrs is easy and graceful, as is natu-
raj with editors. The delicate modelling of
the feet reminds one more of a pair of gun. boats
than the early Christian frescoes They appear
to cover the whole ground-or, perhaps we
should say. the whole floor. The buttons on
the coat lacK strength and holes to push tn
needle through, while the shirt collar is terri
bly, real and happily conceived. The artist has
thrown considerable soul in the newspaper
mans shirt-collar. The legs of the table are
patterned after the Gothic style OF architecture,
and are rather weak; but the paste-pot on the
floor is full of tenderness and feeling and paste.
The brush, which reposes gently in the pot,
betrays a master hand and a short handle.
The shears, with which the editor is supposed
to be moulding public opinion, are bold, sharp
and vigorous, the rivet being particularly well
painted and oied. His head is so bare that it
barely invites criticism. All the details of the
picture are faithfully worked out, with one ex-
ception. There is marked absence of a news
paper bore going through the pile Of exchanges
| in the right hand foreground. With this defect
remedied, the whole picture would be 80 real
| and life-lke that tramp printer would natu-
| rally salute the counterfeit editor with: "Have
| walked from Reading; haven't had a bite to
| eat for two days; can't you give an old typo a
little help to 60 to Phiadelphia?'

Toronto Letter to Chicago Times.1
Canada ssa Nation Of BankruptS.1 -

You talk about hard times, you who are ac-
tually thinking of resuming specie payments
but we in the Queens Dominion are not only
crying to the Lord out of the depths for the
abating of the panic, but seriously contemplat.
ing the stoppage of specie and all other pay
ments. The other day Mr.. /. g. Worts of the
great distilng firm OF Gooderham & Worts,
(worth 5000, 600 clear of all labities), made
a speech at the Board of Trade here, in which
he described Canada as "a nation of bank
rupts" He said that in proportion to popula-
ton there were during 1876 two bankruptcies
in Canada to one in the United States, and
that the total number of failures in the Domin-
ion during last year was within twenty of the
total number in the United Kingdom, which
has a hundred times our trade. In the Mone-
tary Times of last evening, just twenty-five
failures are chronicled for the week in Ontario
and Quebec alone, and standing out grimly on
the editorial page is an item to the effect that
$1,000 worth of accounts belonging to an Flora
bankrupt have been sold for $25.

THE news from Europe grow more and
more warlike, the Russians having concen-
trated abou: 100000 men and 42S guns at
Kisheneff, short distance from Odessa, and
only few miles from the historic Pruth,
which separates them from the Roumanians,
with whom treaty has recently been made
that will allow the Russian passage across
Moldavia and Wallachia to the Danube. The
most significant feature of the news is the
announcement that Russia has failed to reply
to the Servian appeal for advice, and is put
ting Montenegro forward as the champion Of
the Turkish Christians. This step, which
is in accordance with the Moscow speech of
the Car in which he eulogized the Montene-
grins and charged the Servians with coward
ice, is evidently sop thrown to Austria, and
Indicates that Russia has abandoned Serva
to secure Austria's cooperation in her polic,.
If this be so, then the Russian progress will
be rapid. Austria will offer no objection to her
crossing the Danube on the Servian frontier,
which can be easily done, and will so place
her that she can turn the Balkans and invade
Turkey without being compelled to overcome
the tremendous natural obstacles OF the DAN
ube and the Balkan passes.

Magazine Notices.

The adult readers of Wide Awake-for the
"grown-ups'' read Wide A,oake as faithfully as
the children-will turn at once to the finely
illustrated paper on James Russell Lowell, the
poet. 1t forms No. VIII. of the Poets Homes
series, and is contributed by George Lowell
Austin, of Cambridge, and illustrated by en-
cravings from photographs taken for the pur
pose, portrait, view of Elmwood, the poets
residence, and an interior, the latter being the
quaint study.
The magazine opens with one of Miss Fl. r.
Hudson's capital stories, The Mero;ful Way,
for which Robert Lewis has drawn pleasing
frontispiece. Mrs. Clara Doty Bates, the au-
thor of the popular book, CLASSICS of Babyland,
furnishes another tiny classic, Hickory, Dick
ory, Dock, illustrated by her sister, Mrs. Finley.
Mrs. L. c. Wilton has two scraps of poems,
Baby in the Crib, Thinking. and Nam
mas Instructions. Miss Farman, the editor,
also has two, The Snow Storm, and 10 B rd
House, each charmiDgly illustrated. The Third
Adventure of Miltades Peterkin Paul COM
pletes the poems. The stories are good, being

A very peculiar feature in life insurance
business has been brought out by the testimony
in the case of the insolvent Continental Life
Insurance Company of New York. One Ham
mond was employed as an agent on salary of
$4,000 year, to travel in the South and West
and freeze out policy-holders. He represented
that the company was insolvent, and, by crea-
ting panic among the policy holders, bought
up the policies for 25 cents on a dollar, or
thereabouts. This effected an enormous saw
ing to the company on policies nearly due,and
was done for that purpose. Mr.. Hammond
saws that risks amounting to 100000 in Cali
fornia were extiDgushed by this process, and
policies outstanding to the amount of ST.
600, 900 were brought down to 100000 in two
years.

NEWPORT, R. carries on quite a large
and profitable trade in flowers during
the winter season. From May to November,
every year, whole cargoes OF flowers are sent
to Boston, Providence, New York, and Phil
adelphia. In 1871, $1,000 lots of rosebuds
alone were sold at an average wholesale price
of $1.124 dozen; in 1872, 100000 lots at
S73 cents dozen, and in 1875, 100000 lots
at 80 cents dozen. Other flowers, such as
violets, lilies, pinks, and those which are
most in vogue, are specially raised for the
New York market. In the lighthouses Of
Newport orange and lemon trees, bananas,
and the rarest and most richly-perfumed
plants and flowers from every part of the
globe are to be seen in full bloom and produc
ton. The genial winter climate of Newport,
tempered as it is by the vicinity of the Gulf
Stream, is very favorable to the culture of
flowers and tropical plants.

The Memorial Diplomatique of Jan. 27
furnishes the most explicit statement of the
situation of the Turkish army that has yet
been made and probably the most reliable.
1t states that the Army of the Danube COM
prises 100000 men, commanded by Abdul.
kerim Pacha, Generalissimo of the Turkish
army. The Corps of Servia and Bosnia, 1OO,-
900 strong, is commanded by Ali-Saib Pacha
the Corps of Albania, 100000, by Dervich
Pacha; the corps of observation on the from
tier of Greece, $4,000 strong, by Ahmed.
Chukri Pacha; the Corps of Batoum, 4O, ,OOC
strong, by Hussen-Tahsin Pacha; the Corps
of Erzeroum, 10000 strong, by Samih
Pacha; and the Corps of Bagdad, $4,000
strong, by Hlossein-Fevzi Pacha. This would
make total of 100000 Turkish troops in the
field

An eminent physician writing to the Lon
don Times of the value of works of art from
medical point of view, says he is so in
pressed with the benefit of pictures, plate,
bronzes, carvings, bric7a-brac, china, sculp-
ture and art decorations in this connection
that he will gladly give 100 guineas toward a
fund to cover the naked walls of the London
hospitals. The subject may seem trivial or
ridiculous to the practical American mind,
but il is maintained in England with argu-
ments that are more than respectable. We
are not prepared as yet to 60 to the length ol
prescribing "plate'' for the average hospital
patient, and bronzes and oil painting, to say
nothing of sculpture, may be spared for q
time without serious influence upon the
death rate; but proposition for the use O.
ornamental tile seems reasonable enough to
deserve consideration.

IT is to be regretted that the determination
of Germany not to participate in the Paris
Exposition is irrevocable. 1t shows that the
animosity between the two nations has not
healed since the close of the Franco-German
war. 1t will detract greatly from the general
effect of the Exhibition to which this power
full nation, so rich in literature, art and
science, might contribute so much of world
wide interest Worse than all, it will tend to
embitter the two nations still more, and IN
crease their hatred ofeach other
