Cancelled Postage Stamps.

When Postmaster Pierson read a
letter asking if the Government would
give $500 for 100000. of cancelled
postage stamps, he laughed, and said !:
THE old story again. The same re-
quest for information has been made at
this Office. The Government does not
want cancelled stamps, never did want
them. Postage stamp collectors and
those who sell them have no use for any
but foreign stamps. A million of our
stamps would be of no value to any one.
The mucilage on the back of them
would interfere with their value as
waste paper. In one shape OF another
this hoax has been kept alive for years
and has deceived many people. = Nelc

LOAN EXHIBIT.
The committee CLASSIFIED the articles
of this department as follows.

This is only an approximate state
ment, as some articles were not listed,
and many of the numbers include entire
collections of minerals, ores, etc., that
were labeled together. Several of the
things exhibited were said to be sepa-
rately worth the admission price to see
them, and there were surely many very
rare, curious and beautiful articles; but
space is lacking to narticularize farther.

The Cincinnati May Musical Festival
closed Saturday night. The expenses
of the festival viii amount TO S55. coo.
The receipts have not as yet been def
nitely ascertained, but good judges say
they were about $4,000. This will
leave deficit of $4,000, which will be
paid from surplus of $4,000 derived
from the profits of previous festivals.
1t is quite possible that the receipts will
be found to exceed S40,o which will
reduce the deficit as now estimated

In conducting so great school en-
terprise as our exposition, it is perhaps
inevitable that some loss should occur
to the regular school work; but while
this is true, we believe that the loss was
reduced to minimum by the care taken
in this case. Nearly all the work was
done out OF school hours, and regular
classes continued till 10 O'Clock on
Thursday. 1t should also be remem-
bered that the whole enterprise was

the headlight, another the sand dome.
while massive streamerS of flowers en-
twined the hand rail leading on either
side from the headlight to the cab. Two
large bouquets occupied the signal posts
on the pilot. and the cab had its proper
ton of the floral offerings. The flowers
were in most part wild ones, gathered
by Il few young ladies of Fennimore and
presented to the train. On the arrival
of conductor Leary at Fennimore, a
large crowd was at the depot to see the
grand sight, and all pronounced it a
success.

A FEW COMMENTS. Space is lacking
to discuss in detail the merits or faults
of the Exposition. Some things GER
tainly could be improved in second
attempt or under some different circum-
stances. Let it suffice to say that the
comments of the public (without ex-
ception, SO far as we have heard) have
been cOmmendatory and gratifying
Many said the admission price should
have been % cents, some said 80 cents,
and some declared that it should have
been 10 cents for each room; one said she
felt as if she had cheated the school by
paying only Is cents; some insisted on
paying 20 cents. A large number said
it would take full day to see all there
was of interest, while some asserted
that it would require week; very many
expressed establishment at the number
and excellence of the objects exhibited,
and several desired it continued this
week. Such words are pleasant re-
wards of earnest effort.
