While some foreign postage stampa
are worth little more than their original
Government value sometimes not 80
much), others ,bt;ti,, fabulous prices in
the worlds stamp markets. The most
valuable stamp-the rara avis Of the
French co!lector-ia that of Mauritius,
1850. Whether blue or red, IL is worth
1880 francs cash to its possessor C$3OO,
but 1t is not easy to find, as all the
French Consuls have been looking for
& for years. The most valuable l'rench
stamp is that 1-frano stamp issued in
1849-orange color. Unused, it ID
worth $40; cancelled, it is worth $12.
The first Hawaiian stamp issued bear
Ing figures instead of a design is worth
$500. Stamps of La Reunion Of 1852
(15 and 80 centimes respectively, print
ed with q hand-press Oh blue paper, are
worth 5000. The. Mexican stamps of
1867, known as the white Cuadalaja-
ta" q real), is worth Cancelled $50.
British Guiana stamps of 1850 'round
and either black or Yellow are worth
s55 cancelled. Red Spanish stamps OF
1851 e reals) are worth $50 unused and
$40 cancelled. These are few exam
pies Of singular values attached to such
bits of colored paper.
The value of certain collections is
enormous. The most important in the
woodland it is not yet complete--be.
longs to the son of the Duchess of Gal
Gera. The sum paid for stamps alone
mot including other large expenses
was upward of 100000. But thi, col
lection consists of many hundred vol
umes-albums containing stamps. It
will take nine years more to complete
the collection. e,f,j a
I'M. Arthur Rothschild's collection
ranks next; it is worth only $50, 900, or
100000 francs, and comprises over 100
volumes.
Huge as the commerce in real stamps
has become, with it's thousands Of
wholesale and retail houses in the
capitals Of the world, it is doubtful
whether the trade in counterfeit stamps
does not almost equal it. Turkish,
Cingha1ese, Indian, American, African.
Chinese, Japanese stamps are manu-
tactured to order by great FIRMS in
Germany and in Belgium, the counter.
feiters being careful TO cancel the
stamps as soon as printed, so as to es-
cape prosecution. A new mania has
thus been developed. Collectors Of
counterfeit stamps are numerous, and
some Of their collections are quite
costly. But as the majority Of stamp.
collectors, who care nothing for com.
terfeits, are perpetually liable to i'm.
position, new profession has also
been created-that Of chronological ex
pert. The expert can detect the best
counterfeit as readily as flrst-class
bank-teller can detect . bad bill, and
his services are largely in demand.
One Of these experts, we'll known to
all stamp-collectors il Berlin, earns,
without effort, $40 day the yea.

AN ODE TO THE GREAT AMERICAN HOG.
Alas, poor hogl
(Or fattened, as the case may be)
The doors Of France are closed to thee,
In spite of Morton's earnest prayer;
And thou. il thou would'st enter there,
Must dot incog.
Unpitied hog!
Bismarck his large interior Grams
Still with uncooked Westphalia hams,
Sour wine, and scarcely sourer kraut,
And yet malicionsly shuts out
Our porcine prog.
Much -slandered hog!
Two nations that. with eager hate,
The day Of mutual slaughter wait.
In this antipathy agree,
And both devpur, instead Of thee,
The festive frog.
Enlightened hog!
The routes across the salty sea
Are all exactly known to thee;
And thou hast more disguises than
The most experienced customs man
Can catalogue.
Persistent hog
In various and evasive ways
Thou yet wilt thread the legal maze,
And once again, when France and "Bis''
Subdue their stupid prejudice,
Wilt come in vogue. IN. y. Sun.
