SaTety Postage stamps.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
One of the great sources of loss to the
government in the postoffice depart
ment is that occasioned by the repeated
use made of the same postage stamps.
The United States authorities have not
yet succeeded in finding an eraser
which will be effectual without inter-
fering with the body of the letter or the
security of the envelope. Our esteemed
fellow citizen, Mr.. Felix Walker, has,
as he thinks, with great show OF reason,
found the long de ,ired secret, for which
he has obtained patent. his stamps
are printed on fine tissue paper. care
fully prepared with oil and mucilage.
A coating of oil is first spread upon the
paper, and before that is dry a coating
of mucilage spread over the oiled paper.
The printing is done on the mucilage
and shows admirably on the face of the
paper. The result is that the stamps
cannot be eradicated and therefore can
not be used twice. The only way of
loosening it from the envelope is by
moistening, and then only the tissue
paper comes of, the printing--which is
done on the mucilage remaining on
the envelope. MIR. Walker afiirms that
lie has carried some of these stamps in
his pocket for o whole year and they
worked perfectly we'll when used

Flowers at Point Barrow.

Lies Kay Account.
AS far north as this station was it
was not without its signs of civilization
in the spring and summer. The old
fashioned dandelion was found here in
abundance, about the same in size and
as strong i'll growth as in the eastern
states. Several species of the saxiirage
grow in that region, and the little bat
tercup is common thing. The later
has been found in bloom IN early
spring, the plant beng in some favored
place where the sun reached it, and
where projection of snow protected il
from the cold wind. A bluebell similar
to our own grows on the low lands,
while several specs of topples are
found, the most prominent of which is a
small yellow variety. This poppy
blossoms and fades quickly, and while
the flower is passing away a small yell
low butterfly fire luents the bloom and
feeds thereon. The Indian believe the
poppy change into the butterfly. and
hence both are called 'lucky-tucky-
jackson" A small Arctic willow grows
under the surface OF the moss, and one
shrub will sometimes cover an area of
several rods. No grass can be found
except along the seashore, where a
small, coarse, wiry species is found.

NEW Works. BLACKMAlLERS.
The Most AdrOit RascaIs OF the Sort
in the World

New YORK Star "Man About Town.
read rather singular story re.
Gently about the operations of stylish
gang of city blackmailers, and was in
stantly reminded of an incident related
to me by a friend several years ago.
Said he:
1.-The blackmailers in New York are
holder and more adroit than anywhere
else on the globe They play first on
credulity, then on timidity, next on alb
solute fear, and at last on the purse,
the reputation and the very vitals of
their victim. There's only one way to
deal with the blackmailer.
(Which way | inquired.
"Why, hand EN- over to the police
and bear the exposure like man. At
the present moment there are hundreds
OF them here, defying detection and
plying their vulture-lke vocation sue
ceSsfullv, Just because men are towards
and women weak. Not an actor, scarcely
a clergyman, but has encountered them
and been 'bled,' as the slang goes. To-
day they are holder than ever before.
Why, sir, some of them have even es-
tablished so-called weekly newspapers,
which exist solely on blackmail"
Don't the police know all this?"
Certainly they do; but the police
are powerleSs SO long as the victim
silently submits. That's the mischief of
it. Why, it is not long ago since a
c!ergyman--a very popular preacher
was entrapped by gang of these peo-
pie and compelled to sign checks for a
considerable sum, which he paid next
day rather than be subjected 70 the
scathing exposure they had Matched up
and threatened to spring upon him.
Mark my words, there's many pulpit
emptied by the blackmailer and many
pastor driven forth disgraced be-
cause his congregation are credulous
enough to swallow the lying store. "

The Austrian ExecutIoner.
London Times.


The public sentiment has been
shocked by some newspaper reports on
the way in which the extreme penalty
of the law was carried out on q recent
occasion by Marwood's successor. May
we not take lesson from our neigh
Iors in this matter? In Aus r.a, for
instance, where capital ofienses are pun
ished by hanging, the executiOner is a
government official, with fixed salary
and certain perquisites, and q stall of
helpers under him. He is attired in Il
snowy uniform, with a cooked hat and
jackboots, and rides up to the scaff'old
on prancing steed under military es-
cort. Conspicuous are the new
white gloves worn in perform
ing his functions and thrown
off afterward never to be used
again. This functionary (der Scharf-
richter) is not chosen from the scum of
the population, nor is he treated with
contumacy. AS was the case in France
and may be now, the Office is confined
very much to one family, descending
from father to son.
A clumsy execut.o on or any unseemly
exhibition at the gallows such as we in
this country are too fam liar with is a
thing impossible in Austria. The
Hcnker, as he is styled in other parts
of Germany, combines with his ghastly
duties the business Of capturing all
stray dogs found in the highways and
streets unmuzzled. At the time to
which refer-thirty years ago-the
individual in question was q mostppo-
lite, well-informed parsonage and by no
means ashamed of his calling. He
lived rent-free in house outside the
city walls of Vienna and was glad to
receive visitors. l believe England
stands alone in no. having a competent
and properly accredited official to exc
cute criminals.

French, While Silent.

Many worthy Americans who have
been for a season in Paris, and who NAV
be blamelessly free from pride in all
other particulars, are exceedingly SEN
sitive to any hint at imper:ection in
their mastery OF the French tongue.
One of these gen lemen was recently
introduced at II great gathering in
Washington to a distinguished foreign
diplomat. and Immediately assailed him
with fool of whae he considered to
be the most exquisite French OF Par s.
Taking breath for moment, he apollo
gized with an air of bland self-conceit
for his imperfect command of the
French tongue, but he was Little taken
aback when the diplomat, with what
was meant to be o complimentary
smile. replied, Not at all, not at all; i
can understand You quite WE'LL" An
9th n of our Gallo-mania was scarcely
less fortunate in inquiring of one of The
French legation with whom he was con
versing. "How much would l have to
say before You know by my pronuncia
ton that l was not frenchman 2"
zone word" was the promp and de-
cisive reply.

A Distressing Accident

1t Is not generally known that the
popular mother Hubbard" cloak was an
accident. Mr.. Worth, having some
yards of an unsaleable fabric on hand,
gathered it up into sort of bag, cut
Sits for sleeves, and trimmed the bot
tom with flOunces. 1t is doubtful if he
himself knew what he meant to do with
this gathered bag" One day lady
saw it. ''Oh! what queer thing" she
cried. 81 shall never wear that" The
next day she tried it on, the third she
bought it. And in three seasons time
every woman in Paris wore Mother
Hubbard"

SEVEN WISE MEN BAPTIZED.

The n. Y. Morning journal says that
Mrs: F; G. Kellogg, 90 E. Seth St, was
in commissions. Physicians were engaged
and discharged until seven had failed to
help or cure her. She was unable to leave
her bed, and was as helpless as child.
After using all sorts of salves, ointments
lotions and plasters, her case was given up
as hopeless. She was induced to try ST.
Jacobs Oil as a last chance. She began to
improve from the time the first application
was made, and by its continued use, she
has completely recovered.

Gardening for the Insane.

New York is arranging to try a new
method of treating the insane. Under
the idea that occupation is good for the
diseased mind, the state has purchased a
1,OOO-acre farm on Long Island, about
thirty miles from New York city. All
kinds of useful and fancy gardening
will give occupation to patients who can
be trusted. The experiment will be care
fully noted by other states. Without
doubt the step is in the right direction.
