Collecting Postage Stamps.

W uCNltNs
To judge from a recent price-list. the
mania for collecting postage stamps would
seem to be as great as ever. A welI-known
dealer, whose catalogue is before us, offers
the nine-penny blue Natal of 1857 for E2O.
the half-pesO rose of Peru for a similar
amount, the fitteen-centime of Reunion for
ESQ, an unused MauTitius envelope, issued
at one shilling, for e35, and the plate of
twelve distinct varieties of old Mauritius for
a trihe of 925. For some of the first
issues of the South American repub-
lies prices are asked which would, we
should imagine, amply repay q search in
the countries they came from and serve
to replenish the empty Golfers of state of
such a needy country as Bolivia, the early

rare, notably the black ~. r." of which
only few examples are known to be in ex-

SO expensive a label or had occasion to en-
ploy such high-priced postage? If, how
ever, you presented yourself at st. Mar

factories, being three-f ourths of all such
institutions in the United States, held a
secret meeting here at which they virtually

NEW YORK IN THE sULKs.

The proposed extension of the Burlington
line to st. Paul excites a groan from the
railway magnates of New York, where a
distressing nervousness is manifested. In a
review of last weeks markets ana the bust
ness outlook the New York Tribune is in
an unusually Respondent mood, and fails to
find encouragement for New York interests
in anything that is going on. The chief
burthLn of its complaint is respecting the
Burlington line. In its remarks on railroad
matters the Tribune says: 1.-The most dis
heartening features in the transportation
business are the sudden decline i'm shin
ments from Chicago and the arrangement for
building new line to st. Paul. The de-
cline in shipments from 80, 3O1 tons
the previous week and 81, S5S the cores
pOnding week last year to 1884 tons last
week appears to prove that the trunk lines
cannot maintain twenty-cent rate against
a charge of only cent by lake. If so. the
negotiations between the railroad companies
are less important than many have antici-
pated. The building of a new road from
Chicago to st. Paul by the Burlington g.
Quincy promises to open in the Northwest
the same sort of warfare which has been
waged so long between the New York Cen
trail and the West Shore and its promoters.
The dissatisfaction of the Burlington line
with the share allotted to it in the pool is
given as a reason, but when once built
such a road becomes permanent obstacle
TO prosperity, if not required by
public needs. The meeting regard
ing the South Pennsylvania dis
closed the plan of Mr.. VANDERBILT, but
1t is yet TO be seen how much power the
Pittsburg and other stockholders may have
to resist. In the West Shore business it is
not yet discovered who has power to de-
liver the property, if anybody has bought
it. Nevertheless, the market advanced on
Thursday to an average of S5O.47 for the
SINE sixty stocks which sold at $4s. 60 at

Diseased Sheep for Food.

CHICAGO, July 29.-Hundreds of diseased
sheep, it is asserted, are overlooked daily at
the stock yards here and slaughtered as
mutton for the city. 1t is alleged that the
health inspectors are apparently ignorant OF
the fact that diseased sheep are almost daily
at the stock yards. Sales are made openly
despite the presence of inspectors, and NO
bar has thus far been interpOsed to stop the
repulsive traffic. The animals are shock
ing spectacles, and the idea that such stuff
is used as food for thousands is horrifving.
a thousand diseased sheep are bought at
the stock yards daily by mercenary scaIpers
and sold to the unsuspecting public as good
mutton. A syndicate is interested in the
traffic. A reporter paid a visit to the pens
at the stock yards yesterday for the pur-
pose of investigating. No inspectors were
about, Out of forty pens twenty eight
contained diseased sheep, and on an aver
age there were twenty diseased sheep in
each pen. ScabS, foot rot and CHAMBERS or
Snutiles were the ailments of the entire lot.
The sheep, it was definitely ascertained,
were slaughtered and are now in the local
butcher shops and at the Jackson street
market.

RAvAGEs OF CHARLTON.

A special from Little Rock gives the
diagnosis made by State Senator PETERS
of the disease known as Charlton, which is
making fearful ravages among cattle in
Arkansas. Many head of cattle. mules
and sheep have died recently. The sena-
ator. in describing the disease and its raw
ages, said that, though called Charlton, it is
a misnomer, being really malignant erysip-
elias, or what was once called black tongue.
1t is an epidemic produced by continued
east winds. He says ''the surface of the
animal must be irritated TO produce the dis
ease. If the gnats or flies are permitted
to bite the stock sufficiently to make the
skin bleed. death is the result. This season
it first came among the hogs. 1 lost IT'S in
short time; then my sheep began to die;

Probably Definitely Settled.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 29.-When
George W. Childs was asked this morning
what he thought Of the suggestion that he
and Gen. Beal should go to Mt. McGregor
and urge the family of Gen. Grant to re-
consider their decision to bury the general
at Riverside park, he said: The family
are thoroughly familiar with the arguments
that have been brought TO bear against the
selection of Riverside park. They have
concluded to accept the place rendered, and
no attempt will be made to induce a change
of mind. The family, as we'll as all the
Intimate friends, have received numerous
letters from army and navy officers and
Others urging Washington as the proper
place. but Riverside park has been selected
and there is no probability of a change. 1t
Is delicate matter to discuss with the
family. and L think nothing more should
be said on the subject"

THE Chicago newspapers have undertaken
to raise by subscription $4,000 10 erect
GRANT monument in that city. 1t is pro-
posed to be erected in Lincoln park. There
is no doubt about the ability of the newspa-
pers of that city to raise the sum
indicated or double that amount But it does
seem that Chicago could afford to honor it
self by erecting a handsome monument TO the
man who went into the war as captain of an
Illinois company, and who was twice elected
to the presidency as citizen of that state
and do it at the city's expense. As rule
newspapers perform their duty in re-
gard to public matters, but it is not fair TO
require of them what is somebody else's duty
to perform.

YESTERDAYS GLOBE SPOKE approvingly OF
the suggestions made by President HERBEBT
in the opening address of the editorial asso-
citation, and we are more than gratifed to see
the association adopting resolutions concur
ring in the same sentiments. Personal
journalism has had its day, and the fact is
recognized in Minnesota. The suggestion con-
tanned in the resolutions that Il code of pro-
fessional journalistic ethics be prepared is a
good one. No stone should be left unturned
to advance the standard of journalism. The
last session of the association has done good
work in this line, and we hope that each sue
cessive meeting will add 10 the good begin
ming which has been made.

New York is naturally apprehensive of
danger to its own interests from any move
ment that looks to the development of a
great commercial rival such rs ST. Paul is
destined to be. Trade was first drawn from

drawn from both of these cities by st. Paul
we may expect good deal of blueness down
in that locality.

A SOCIAL EVIL.

In the local columns of the GLOBE this
morning will be found some revelations
concerning gross forms of vice and lawless-
ness which are permitted to exist in the
heart of our city. Such revelations must
bring the tinge of shame to the cheek of
every respectable citizen. Noone can regret
the necessity for calling public attention to
their existence more than the GIoBE does
But it is one of those distasteful but never
theless imperative duties sometimes de-
manded OF newspapers, to whom the people
look for information. In his inaugural
address Mayor RICE invited all citizens to
bring to his attention the existence of anv
vice or lawlessless of which they might
have information, pledging himself to act
promptly in securing the removal of the
evil. When the GLOBE was informed
of the horrid condition of affairs
on Minnesota street it took the precaution
to verify the statements of others, and now
gives the result of the investigation. Hav-
ing called the attention of the authorities to
the disgraceful conditions which exist i'm
that locality, we feel assured that prompt
measures will be taken to eradicate the evils
complained of and to purify the moral at
mosphere of that part of the city.
But there is another matter IN connection
with this subject of which the people of this
city desire an explanation. Why is it
that the police authorities have so long per-
mitted such evils to exist without an effort
to restrain them? If bawdy houses are run
all night with open windows and gambling
hells with open doors. in the very heart of
the city, it is inexplicable how such things
could have escaped the notice of vigilant
officers. If the people of the city are taxed
for the purpose of supporting police sys-
TEN, they want force that has the intelli-
gence to understand its duty and the
honesty and capacity to perform it.
