The Postage Due" stamp will be
the next innovation in our postal sys-
tenn. A recent act of Congress makes
it the duty of Postmasters to affix to
all mail matter that has reached its
destination without full payment of
postage an amount Of stamps equal to
the postage due. Heretofore the
amount has been marked upon the let
ter or package with stencil or pen.
This regulation will 60 into effect on
the lst of July next, and the new
stamps for this purpose are being pre-
pared, and their issue will commence
before the lst Of June. The denomi-
nations of these stamps are one, two,
three and five cents. They are OF
. uniform 'reddish-brown color. On
the upIe border the words Postage
Due" are printed in white letters, and
on the lower border appears the de-
!, nomination in letters of the same. BY
this systsm the department will save

"A Newburyport, Mass, man was
badly sold recently He had a great
project OH hand for boiling down bones
to make ''superphosphate." All the
neighboring boys were engaged to col
lect material. The man thought,
however, that he would first try the
bones as a fertilizer without burning.
So, having lot of grapevines, the
first lot Oh bones were planted around
the roots of one vine. The boys saw
the proceeding, so at night they
dug them all up again. Bright and
early the next morning they presented
themselves with a supposed new lot.
The bones were bought again and put
around second vine. The process
was repeated till fourteen vines had
been thus served and fourteen times
had those identical bones been sold.-

IN A PICKWICKIAN SENSE.

Such weak vacillating executive as
the United States are now cursed WITH is
disgrace to our standing as a nation.
Grant had one quality which made him
feared and respected, logged persistence
in anything he determined to pursue.
But Hayes treats the republican party as
Polonius did Hamlet. He will change
his opinions on the slightest intimation
that they are not in perfect accord with
those of the leaders of his party. His
celebrated civil service order brought
upon him deserved ridicule. Not be-
cause of the character of the order but
of his haste in making it imperative
when he found his party opposed to it.
The transparently absurd explanation of
the order which was intended to deprive
it of force, caused a smile of derision
wherever knowledge of it reached. A
distinction was made between the officer
and the individual. The fiction of a
double existence was invented and the
"order" passed into the realm of meta
physics.
Now the president is in a similar d.
lemma in regard to his suggestions on
the retirement of greenbacks. His party
showed a disposition to repudiate his
advice and poor Hayes manifests zeal
GUS disposition to swallow himself. He
has instructed members that the message
does not mean what it says. 1t is sim
ply bit of defamation intended to
charm the ear but not to reich the un-
derstanding. Bless you, it was only a
parable and was not interpreted correct
ly. 1t means just the reverse of what its
language purports. "The bearing of
that there observation lies in the appli-
cation of it," Presi lent Bunsby is a
wise man but the words of wisdom he
let's drop are not to be studied too cur
iously. They mean just what you de-
| sire. A sort of adjustable machine
which will square with the most diverse
opinions. The key to their meaning
cannot be discovered until the issue is
finally and satisfactorily settled. Hum.
mated by the light of success how unmis.
taxable is the meaning of the president
How fraught with meaning is every
word. ''In apprehension, how like 6
god' does this man appear who could
not make himself understood until the
event justified the wisdom of his coun-
sells We have president with back
bone. 1t has varying degrees of ossifi
! ication to suit circumstances. It is a
backbone that never stands il the way
of republican ideas. It heeds advice.

st. Jacobs Oil and the many cures this
remedy had effected. Having been dis
appointed so many times, l lost all faith
in any remedy, the st. Jacobs Oil includ-

a well-knowl citizen with whom am ac-
quainted. Other parties fully endorsed
the value and wonderful power of the
Oil, telling me that it had cured them of
different ailments in very short time.
