THE Post Office Department has
agreed upon the design for new 2-eent
postage stamp for 6rs.-class matter,
and the work of printing for disiribu-
ton and sale will shortly be begun. A
medallion of Washington in a panel is
the most prominent feature, and halt
round the top the words "U. S. post
age" are placed. This is departure
from the present system when the IN
ltials ~. S." are used. At the lower
portion of the stamp the words tive

ure two. The design is conspicuou;
for its plainness, and there is an alb
sence Of any decoration not in keeping
with the subject. The likeness OF Wash

all who have seen it. It is a copy o

this series was increased by the issue
of "a. 80 and a 90-cent stamp, and

1863 the first 2cent stamp was printed.
1t was black, and bore the face of Jack
son very conspicuously placed. In 1866
the 10 cent stamp was introduced for
foreign postage, and had placed upon
IL the portrait of Lincoln. These re-
mained in use without change till 1870,
when series of ten square stamps of
various designs appeared Three O
them bore portraits. The 1 cent was
still reserved for Franklin. Washing
ton was placed on the cent, and Lin
&C n on the 80 cent. The other designs
were fanciful and unpopular, and q new
issue, the one now in use, was brought
out a month later. In this Franklin
is on the 1 cent, Jackson on the 9,
Washington on the 8, Lincoln on the
6, Jefferson on the 10, Clay on the II,
Webster on the Is. Scott on the "A,
Hamilton on the 80, and Commodore

given to Stanton and the to Garfield
Thus it will be seen that, from the first,
the denomination in commonest use
has borne the head of Washington. As
the Scent stamp will now go almost
entirely out of use, and the 2-cent be.

good story is tod of a doctor whose most
profitable patient was an old lady Who suffered
greately from dyspepsia, nervousness and weak
kidneys. His medicines seemed to relieve her but
did no permanent good. Her nephew intuced a
trial of DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsa-
parila which benefited her so much that she dis
missed the doctor. His peculiar sensitivehess
caused him to give up his practice, and instead OF
responding to professional calls, he often merely
grunted "take GuYsott's" which saying became
proverbial in the neig ghborhood, and large sale
fsr this medicine sprang up.
