A Fooiish Fraud.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
 "You would bs surprised" said post. office official recently, if you could know how frequently stamps are used second or even a third time. And what is the most surprising thing about is is there Is no profit for the person using stamp the second time. as il requires more than {, cents' worth of application and ingenuity to cleanse a stamp but the loss to the government is very considerable. would Dc content to receive a sum equivalent to that stolen from the department every year in this way for my salary. Post office clerks by long practice become very familiar with the appearance of good and bad ssampa- They acquire perhaps inc same degree of ability tn the desec. ton of the irregularities as do clerks who handle money, but in large offices there are 90 many letters and the work of can ceiling is of necessity Q rapid that very few chances are offered for detection. It is only when letters are deposited in offices where the mail receipts are small that there IS any considerable danger of de- lection in using stamps q seeond time. Bs. the use cannot be profitable pack. ages or heavyweight letters having sui 6ciently large postage stamps on them 10 justify their cleansing iog second use are subject to a somewhas rigid inspection ana fraud can be detected. AS said, however, the use of smaller stamps a second time is large enough to make quite hole in the department funds"

Shame on such spectacle! Let us hope

full study!of Union and Confederate authorities,
he has so fanIiliarized himself with the various
organizations in both armies as to mention
each by name in all their maneuvers through
out the four days of battle. Survivors of every
regiment and battery engaged will find in this
model history an accurate account of its per-
Torrance, whether standing manfully in line
coutesting the ground or seeking safety in
flight. Colonel Stevenson has rendered it
harder task for future historians of battlefeids
to please the military reader, as he has demon
strated the possibility of so studying the move
ments of forces throughout the entire period of
battle, as to present a panorama of the field
from the beginning to end.
From D. Lothrop & Co., Boston, we have q
new juvenile story by Mrs. S. r. Graham
Clark, entitled 1.-THE Triple E." which relates
the experience of two young girls, who, sud-
denly compelled to earn their own living, as
well as care for an invalid uncle and an adopted
child, show themselves equal to any emergency,
and by industry, self-denial and the practice
OF the Christian graces, not only secure happi-
ness for themselves but comfort for others.
The girls forced to accept employment in
mill, and many are the hardshipS to which
they are subjected, but in the end fortune
smiles upon them and they are both happily
married. The story is wholesome in Tone rich
in incident, and remarkable for its vivid de-
Hneation of character. Bound in cloth, the
price Is S1.50.
Messrs. L. Prang & Co, Boston, announce
that I. S. Church's picture, Retaliation"
which attracted so much attention at the re-
cent Academy Exhibition in New York has
been purchased by Mr.. Prang, with a view to
its reproduction by TYPOGRAPHY. It represents
Cupid Gagged, at the mercy of one of his many
victims, who stirs him up with evident zest and
amusement The coloring is good and the exc
cution an advance upon former productions of
the artist. Winthrop Pierce has designed an
original back for forthcoming Calendar from
Thackeray's works, and the mount for Ten
nyson Calendar now in course of preparation
by Prang, is from the brush of Mrs. Sarah e.
Whitman.

To the Editor NATIONAL tribune.
The article in your issue of May % from
Peeks SER is fair and clear presentation OF
the injustice done TO thousands Of soldiers. Az
former assistant surgeon OF the 7th Mis-
sour cavalry volunteers, / was compelled 70
resign, after being in the service nearly yesr
because of bronchitis, brought on by exposure
after the battle Of Prairie Grove Ark, and
though in my invalid pension claim applicg-
ton proved good and sound health previous 70
entering the army and every other paper was
perfectly satisfactory. yet because in my letter
of resignation ! stated had q return OF bron-
chitis-a disease l had had eight years previous
TO entering the array, and OF which I showed
by positive proof that i was radically cured
eight years before entering the seryice-ths
Commissioner rejected my claim, tho reason
given being that it could not be right 70 grant
pension II a disease returned, even from ex-
pOsure.
OF course I am now old and feeble and needy,
through nay loss of health, dating back 70 thas
time, and feel the outrageous injustiee done me,
and l expect TO persevere by an appeal from
so unjust decision For if there WIS any one
officer that was sound aud able-bodied in our
regiment was that man up 60 the battle above
mentioned, and yet rank injustice is thus
inflicted upon one who was active. faithful and
efficient ID his cOuntry's service. ] speak Of

The srst Pennsylvania Reyisit, Fair Oaks.

The survivors of the 61st Pennsylvania vol
unteeTs reached Richmond on Friday last, on
their way to visit the battlefield of Fair Oaks
and after being cordially entertained by Z. z.
Lee Camp and Phil Kearny Post, proceeded
Saturday morning to the field. Spots familiar
to the participants in the blosdiest fight of the
war were pointed out and incidents connected
with that scene of carnage recalled by the old
veterans. hiajor-GeneraI E. d. Keyes of the
4th army corps, who was in command Of that
corps at the battle of Fair Oaks, was among
those present, and addressed the survivors of
the 61st. He paid the regiment high COM
pliment, saying he knew when the command
went into the fight, the anniversary Of which
they were there to celebrate, they would
achieve great fame, imperishable for all time.
He recalled the fact that the 6lst lost, at least
half of their men ia that desperate fight.
At the conclusion of General keyss' speech
the members of that regiment present gave
three cheers and tiger for General Reyes, in
which the ex-Confeder2tes Joined with hearty
good will. ". Gibson Miller, the adjItant Of
the regiment at the battle of Fair Oaks. who
was present, made brief speech to bis old
comrades, which was received with cheers.
