Dorsey's Brain Affected.

Gath: have seen q gentleman jus: returned
from Mr.. Dorsey's ranch in New Mexico. He
says that he found the ex-senator very much
depressed and melancholy, not go much from
his trial, although that had kept him under a
terrible nervous tension for two years, az be-
cause Of the great mistake he Discovers that he
made by criticising President Garfield, who was
80 many years his friend. "Dorsey,'' said nv
informant, zig a man very easily imposed upon,
although lie has much c%levernees. After no

that long distance to poke him up
again. He was in bad physical and mental
health, somewhat careless in his passing hab-

his natural mind he would never have said, and
probably did not mean. After that, men who
mad stood by him for his good qualities and
misfortnnes through years, wrote him depreci-
ating letters upon these interviews, which were
made to belittie and even befoul the dead man.
Since that time he has been more depressed

ances and they hope that he will be let alone
and clothed in his right mind at an early day.

A Man kissing Mr.. Beecher.

New York Times: Just before the 5:lS
train from Philadelphia, over the Pennsylvania
road, rushed into the Jersey City station yes
:erday afternoon there was q pyrotecnlc display
in the western sky. The sun, which had been
hidden all day, came into sight, q blazing ball
of vermiliion, and set fire to a bank of clouds
which stretched terrace-lIke across the skv.
Judge Advocate Genera! Horasio C.. King of
Brooklyn supervised an impromptu reception,
which followed, to the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, who came in on the train. 1t WAS q
little reception, and consisted principally of re-
porters and Mr.. john I. Howard's kiss. There
were q dozen reporters and only one kiss. Tie
kiss was imprinted directly upon Mr.. Beechcr's
rnby-co!ored lips, and the sight Of q little man
stretching up on tip-toe to print a resounding
emack upon the lips of a much larger man was
SO unusual that it was the feature of the re-
ception. Passengers who came in on the train
with Mr.. Beecher and witnessed tho proceeding
were amused, disgusted, or shocked, according
as it struck them.
Mr. Beecher did not finch. He had been
there before and was used to Mr.. Howard's
novel mode of greeting men. Henry A Rich
srdson, B. F. Blair, Rossiter W. Raymond, H.
w 3. Howard. Abijah Whitney and Horatio c.
King, who assisted Mr.. Howard in the recep-
ton, merely shook Mr.. Beecher's hand aud
followed his example in also shaking Mrs.
Beecher by the hand and extending to both
a cordial welcome home. When Mr..
Howard had detached himself from Mr..
Beechar's lips and cotton out from under Mr..
Beecher's drab English tourist hat, which
much resembled a very much soiled Seventh
regiment helmet, Mr.. Beccher's face was found
to be much more rudy than usual. His al
dermanlc outlines were only ill-defned under
meath a loose duster of biaek farmers satin.
When seated on the Cortland street ferry boat,
1t WAS plain that the ponderous form had not

FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS.
A Bncied BridecroomA

a BaEied bridegroom
Aunt Targood's gander had been the terror
of many well-meaning people, and Of some
for many years. Ihave seen tramps
and ack-peddlers enter the gate and start op

ringing warning like a war blast, t'Honk,

people would be gone. Farm house baorders

IN a few minutes it was customary to hear

boarders. Among those that l remember was
Rev. Mr.. Bonney, a fervent-souled Methodist
preacher. He put the gander to flight with

ne never was troubled by tho feathered tyrapt

Young couples sometimes came to Father
to be married, and one summer after
noon there rode UP to the gate a very young
couple, whom We afterwards learned had run
away, or rather, hsd attempted TO get married
without their parents approval. The young
hitched tn. horse and helped from
the horse the gayly- dressed miss he expected
to make his wife. They started up the walk
upon the run, as though they expected to be
followed, and haste was necessary to prevent
the failure of thsir plans.

count of the union generate, d bank. or

Austria for its field Of action, established
LAND bank in Vienna, and financed rail-
ways, iron mines and foundries in Bohe-
mia and Hungary. Its business expanded
SO rapidly that in less than, three years its

How Postage Stamps Are Made.

The number of ordinary postage stamps
issued in 1881 was 954, 1875, 40. and the
value 1924, Ole, 643. The method Of print
ing postage stamps is described in the
Scientific American rs follows: The print
ing is done from steel plates, On which
two hundred stamps are engraved, and the
paper used is OF q peculiar texture, some-
what resembling that employed for bank
notes. Two men cover the plates with
colored inks and pass them toe man and
girl who print them with large rolling hand
presues. Three Of these little squads are
employed all the time, although ten presses
can be put in operation, il necessary
The colors used in the inks IRE ultra marine
blue. Prussian blue, (gresnl, vermillion
and carmine.
After the sheets Of paper o which the
z00 stamps are engraved have been dried,
they are sent into another room and gummed.
The gum used is made OF the pow
der of dried potatoes and other vegetables
mixed with water. Gum arabic is not de-
sirable, because it cracks the paper badly.
The sheets are gumned separately, they
are placed back upward upona fat wooden
support, the edge being separated bya me-
tal!ic frame, and the gum is applied with .
wide brush. After having been again dried,
this time on little racks, which are famed
by steam power for about an hour, they
are put in between sheets of p~asteboard,
and pressed between hydraulic presses,
capable ofapplying a weight of 1000 tons.
The sheets are next cut in halves; each
sheet, of course, when cut contains 100
stamps. This is done by o girl with a large
pair Of shears, cutting by hand being pre-
ferred to that Of machinery, which method
wosld destroy too many stamps. They
are then passed to the perforating machine.

effected by passing the sheets between two
cylinders provided with aseries OF raised
bands which are adjusted TO a distance
apart equal to that required between the
rows of perforations. Each ring on the up
per cylinder has n series Of cylindrical
projections which fit corresponding de-
pressions in the bands of the lower cylin-
der; by these the perforations are punched.
out, and by a simple c~ontrivance the sheet
is detached from the cylinders. in which it
has been conducted by or endless band.
The rows running longitudinally of the
paper nres first made, and then.bya similar
machine the transverse ones. This perfor-
ating machine was invented and patented
by q Mr.. Arthur in 1862, and was purchased
by the government for 800, 600. The sheets
are next dressed once more, and then
packed and labeled and slowed awny in
another room, preparatory to being put mp
in mail bags for dispatching to fulfill orr
asrs. IL q single stamp Is torn or in any
way mulhlated the whole sheet Of 100 Il
burned. Five hundred thousand arc
burned every week from this cause. The
sheets are counted no less than.eleven times
during the process Of manufacturing, and
SO great is the care taken in counting that
not q single sheet bas been lost during the
pasttwenty years.

And from beneath their sunlit maze

Looked but her sad, pathetic eyes,
Deep homes of peace and ~satien, prayer,
Where feeling made its lonely lair,
And silences beyond surprise.
Her lips were ripened fruit, where bliss
Might long to die upon a kiss,
By feeling stung to perfectness:
Tho laDguor OF a passion past; =.
Too perfect at is height to last,
The sweet and haif-eXhausted sense
OF being almost too intense,
Beneath whose exquisite excess
Life faintiug falls in WEAKNESS
And droops to sad Indifference.
All this had made her wan cheeks thin,
And Loves lost purpose lived alone
Upon the proud projected throne ..
OF her compelling chin. --
