Old Postage Stamps.

A Partisan paper has set itself to dis
cover what becomes of the old postage
stamps-a question which has vexed
the souls of many curious persons on
this side of the channel. 1t was alleged
that they were collected for the defraud-
ing of the revenue, the post-marks being
oblterated and the stamps reused.
Obviously, however, the small scale
upon which such fraud could be con-
Quoted would not account for the mil
lions of used stamps which were known
to be collected by the converts. 1t APP
pears that the converts convert their
pupils and their pupils parents into
collectors, and when million stamps
have been amassed and sorted into
countries and values. they are sold to
the dealers in foreign stamps, who pay
from ETA to fl6 per million for them.
It is calculated that their retail sale
and export to other countries leaves
the dealer an average profit of f84 per
million. Philatelists will be interested
in knowing. on the authority of our
Partisan contemporary, that the 1-franc
stamps of the Republic of 1S49 are now
so scarce that they command about rs
each. 1t would seem, therefore, that
Frenchman might leave his children
worse heritage than trunkful OF old
envelopes. ST. James Gazette.

SECTIONAL HATE.

The Conduct of Senator Sherman Contrast
ed with the Conduct of General Grant.
Mr.. Sherman plunges headlong into
the mire of sectional hate. He raves
against the return to '.high Office of
those who ''waged war against the I'm
ion and were the cause of the loss of half
million of lives and thousands of mill
ions of treasure" He heaps vitupera-
ton upon the .'Solid South. - in which,
he says, "the negro is deprived of all
his political rights by open violences or
by frauds as mean as any that have
been committed by penitentiary con,
victs. and as openly and boldly done as
highway robbery" He declares it to
be the hope of 1.-The men who led in the
civil war" and who are now 1.-THE chief
officers of the Government" to reverse
all the results of the war" And he
processes to regard it as ''vital and
necessary to appeal to the Northern
States to unite again against this evil,
not so open and arrogant as slavery,
but more dangerous and equally un-
JUST
The people of New York have recent
ly draped their city in mourning to mark
| their grief at the death of General
Grant. Perhaps no action of his life
endeared him more closely to their
hearts than did the noble words his hand
traced in his last hours, when speech
had failed him, congratulating the
country on the restoration of fraternal
| feelings between the sections and on the
renewed devotion of the South to the
Union.
In the letter which he kept from his
family until his death, knowing that
what would be a solace to them after
the final blow had fallen would cause
them pain while he still lived, he wrote:
'As 1 have stated, am thankful for
the providential extension of my time
to enable me to;continue my work. am
further thankful, and in a much higher
degree thankful, because it has enabled
me to see for myself the happy har-
mony which so suddenly sprung up be-
tween those engaged but few short
years ago in deadly conflict. !"
What contrast between these noble
patriotic words and the malignant raw
ings of the partisan who, for political
purposes, would foster suspicion, jeal-
ousy and hatred between the citizens
of the Northern and Southern States!
How can the people of New York view
this attempt of Senator Sherman to de-
the grave of General Grant? How can
we ever hope for restored. peaceful
and powerful Union If legacy of Sec
tional hate is to be handed down to. our
chiidren's children.-N Y World

INTERESTING IF TRUE.

The President the Biggest Man Con-
nected in Amy Way with the Admins
tration.
Not little establishment has been
manifested among the politicians here
at the attitude which General Benjamin
F. Butler has assumed toward the pres
ent Administration and toward Presi-
dent Cleveland in particular An init
mate friend of the President, who is also
on terms of close friendship with Gen.
eral Butler, is authority for the state
ment that letter had been lately re-
ceived by him from General Butler, in
which the latter expressed in most en-
phatic phrases his admiration of Presi-
dent Cleveland and his course as far as
he had gone, and giving it as his opinion
that if Cleveland kept on as he had be-
gun he would prove the biggest and
best President that had occupied the
White House in recent years. In ex-
PLANTATION of his change of base as re-
CARDS his opinion of Cleveland, General
Butler is said to have remarked that his
estimate of the man had entirely
changed since he had become President,
and that he had no idea that Cleveland
was made of such stern stuff as his Adj
ministration would indicate. General
Butler furthermore says, according to
the same authority, that Cleveland
is the master of his political house.
hold, and is by all odds the biggest man
connected in any way with the Admin
istration. This information, astonish-
ing as it is, TALES exactly with several
conversations which General Butler has
lately had with several prominent gen.
tlemen here and in New York, and there
appears to be no doubt as to the genu-
ineness of the reports. OF course there
is variety of opinions as to General
Buffers motives in assuming this po-
sition, but those who know the doughty
Generals methods best think they see a
1arge-sized rat in the meal-bag. 1t
would be, of course, to the Generals
advantage to be on the right side of the
Administration, but whether the stern
stuff which Butler finds in the President
would admit of any humor or cajolery
of the Butler variety is questionable. to
say the least 1t is known, however,
that General Buffers sentiments have
been conveyed to the President, and a
member of the Cabinet is said to have
remarked on hearing the news that the
President was now daily expecting to
hear from Blaine and ST. John, his two
other opponents in the last Presidential
canvass. - Washington Cor. Boston Post.

him of affairs in the old neighborhood.
Then for some weeks he was silent, not
feeling that he had anything cheerful

longing, to hear further regarding the
engagement between Lucy and Mr..

Meantime the dam which was to save
the Parsons settlement from the over
flow had been completed. but scarcely
was the work accomplished before it
became evident that it would not long
stay the mass of Stockings which was
coming down in such immense quanti-
ties from the mines above as to have
filled the gulch itself a hundred feet
deep for ten miles below Gravel Hill,
and in spite of the fact that large guam
titles of it were turned aside into the
new channel cut for it above the dam,
it was slowly but surely filling the
whole gorge and would soon rise above
that structure, even if it did not sweep
it away.
Another meeting of the settlers was
called, at which it was resolved to ap-
ply to the courts for a perpetual in
junction restraining the companies from
emptying their Stockings into the gorge.
The services of a prominent attorney
of San Francisco were secured and ap-
plication for the injunction made.
But there were delays.
The attorneys for the mining COM
panies asked for time in which to pro-
duce evidence to show why the injunc-
ton should not issue, and although the
settlers pleaded the absolute necessity
to them of immediate action, the time
asked was given and even twice ex-
tended,
Their some technicality in the law or
the pspers in the case was discovered,
