hundreds OF thousands OF postsge stsmIs

Orders for returned" stamped envelopes,
he said, have already begun to diminish. The
matter of redeeming unused three cent
stamps which may be outstanding October
lst has not yet been msturely considered.
1t is quite probable, that as a matter of pre-
caution, the department may decline TO re-
ceive sing e stamps, or any number less than,
say five, and it may be required that these
shall be presented attached 10 each other as
in the original sheets.
Several designs for the nav two cent
stamps have been received, bat the one to be
used has not yet been chosen. Some OF the
designs are very attractive. Each contains
an attractive head Of Washington. To avoid
confusion, some other color than green will
probably be selected.

PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.
WHAT is DONE WITH MOST OF THE GOVERN
NEXT PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The second
hand book stores shout town are now filed
with piles of public documents bearing the
franks Of eoDgressmen. Few realize what an
enormous business lie done in these publica-
lions. II we recolect, however, thst Con-
gress orders ab1at $2,000,000 Eorh OF print
log anu ,i,y, We DIav see the vas. proper
tions Of The work. These documsnts are
printed under 'iDl resolution Of the two
houses of Congress, for the most part in
large editions, and each membsr II credited
with proportionate share. A The close of
the session sppro 'ches, the members 90 to the
document rooms sud fad out how their &C.
count 8 snds. II any hook are s,ill to their
credit, they order them sent home or to their
rooms in The city, CT sHhorizs some
other disposition to IL made of them.
Very frequently members make exchanges,
and very often also this exchange is
in the shspe of cssh from dealers. 1t Is FREE
quently the Gaze, agaiD, that member can
pay off acme obligation by load of valuable
public documents. 1t is alleged that once q
sitting member, who held a contested seat,
saw by the vote IN progress on his csse til at
in lew mere minutes he would be uneeated,
and, wise in time, he rushed 10 the document
room while the yeas and nays we're being
called, drew all his books, franked and d.
rected them TO friend's house, and saw them
ssfely off before the vote was announced.
A members share OF public documents Id
by no means an Insignificant perquisiie. He
gels, roughly speaking, one four hundredtks
part of the publications, the cost of which il
81, 000, 900, or $1,000 worth, an amount equal
in value to his salary. The collection would
not sell for that sum, of course, and yet the
cssh value of a complete set Of public docu-
ments tor year would be considerable. While
much rubbish is printed, soms Of the books
are valuable and much desired by certain
classes of constituents. The greatest demand
is for agricultural reports. An edition OF
100000 copies is ordered of this volume, but
even this enormous number is insufficient to
supply all, and, in consequence, members
from rural districts often exchange or buy
large Quantities from city members or the
book stores. So large and steady is the sale
of these reports that they have a regular
price. They are rated at ten cents apiece
and at this price some country members buy
them by the 500 worth. One member
bought 5000 copies last year at his own ex.
pense for distribution among his constituents
ia addition to his own supply and all he
could get from fellow members.
A leading mercha ant in this trade says til al
some members supply constituents WITH al
public documents asked for, even though
they have to purchase the booke, and thai
sometimes members spend hundreds OF dol
lars in this way. They have the means, and
rather than risk giving ofense they quietly
