general and entirely sincere no one
can doubt. In the ordinary contests
1t Is a fairly reasonable one. This time,
and for the republican party, it seems
to us wholly mistaken. 1t is in

The New Postage Stamps.

The pOstOt1ice department is busily
preparing for the issue of the new
postage stamps. The twO-cent stamp
Is engraved and can be struck off as
wanted. The design for the four-cent
or doublc-rate stamp has been ap-
proved. The five and siX-cent stamps.
and those of still higher denomina-
tons, are not to be altered, for although
there VIII hereafter be little call for
the slN-cent stamps, the department
was reluctant to cut off the portrait of
Lincoln from the series. A more senti-
mental feeling prevails among the peo-
pie FOR these postage stamp heroes
than one might suppose. There have
been not few murmurings, for in
stance, among the JacksOnian democ-
racy because the head of their chief
has been supplanted on the two-cent
stamps even by Washington himself.
1t is to he hoped that these faithful
spirits will he placated in measure
by the re-appearance of the hero of
New Orleans in Il most uncOmprOmis-
ing likeness on the new four-cent
stamps.
The fate of the familiar three-cent
stamp is sealed. After October it will
not be issued, although it will be re-
ceived for postage until outstanding
supplies are exhausted. The depart
ment has not yet promised to redeem
surplus stocks of these stamps held on
hand by pOstmasters when the law goes
into effect, but will probably do so, al
though the clerical work involved will
he enormous and will necessitate a
special increase in the force of clerks
for which at present there is no apprO-
priation. Hence postmasters have
been admonished to have as small
supply on hand rs possible, and the
exercises its discretion in
filling acquisitions where excessive de-
mands are made.

The king Of DahOmry'S Can
non.
From the San Francisco Post }

The king of Dahomey received an
invoice of Krupp cannon not long
ago and conceived the idea of having
them mounted on elephants backs
for use in the field. With much diff
fculty this object was carried ont,
and at the next military review the
king ordered that one of the guns he
fired Immediately in front of the roy
al position, first taking the prccau
ton to place couple of thousand of
prisoners about where it was calcu-
lated the ball would strike, so as to
Judge of the effectiveness of the shot.
When all was ready one of the big
gest elephants was backed around
and sighted. just as the lanyard was
ierked, however, the animal turned
half round to reach for "a peanut or
something and the shell took off the
prime minister's head and knocked "a
hole as big as a sewer through the
palace. His majesty wouldn't have
cared so much if the matter had end
ed there-as the prime minister wasn't
very prime. and the palace needed
ventilatiOn-but it didn't. On the
contrary, the elephant, which had
been st BOD on his head by the recoil,
picked itself up in fury and started
in on the down grade ahead of Its
ticket. 1t upset the grand stand the
first rush, slung the grand chamber
lain and past grand carver of mis-
siOnaries into the next street. 1t ther
jumped into the brass band with al
four feet, and if it hadn't got the big
drum over its head so that it couldn'
see, would probably have cleaned on
the entire congregation. The king
was not found until the next morning
and then, as he slid down ont of ;
) banana tree, he was understood to re
mark that there was only one thlni
