Cancelled Postage stamns.

More than one man whose business takes
him near the post-office has been fooled
lately by picking up what seemed to be
sheets of perfectly good stamps. but which
have been cancelled. As the stamps are in
whole sheets many have wondered how
they became cancelled since they show no
evidence OF having been affixed to letters
or packages. Postmaster English said last
evening that the stamps were bought by
Yale men to pay for answers received
from the circulars sent to graduates in re-
gard to the fence question. The law
makes circular to which a name has
been signed letter, and the postage should
be two cents. Many letters have been re-
ceiyed with one cent stamps attached, and
to pay the extra postage sheets of one cent
stamps are bought, cancelled and thrown
away-Nctg Hdpen Mars.

A FREE PASSENGER.

There are always pleasant people in the
Pullman overland trains. Sitting but a
little way in front of me was bright
young man, and as | looked at him | saw
to my surprise a squirrel peep out of his
pocket and look timidly about; finding
the coast clear he came and sat on the
young mans shoulder. Of course there
was soon a crowd about the little animal.
but he took the curiosity he awakened in
very good part. He had many charming
tricks to show off; now he was on the
brim Of his masters hat, next on the very
apex Of the crown; then he ran up the
arm of a gentleman who extended his
hand and sat unconcerned on the top of
his head. We could not contain our de-
light at this little passenger who was rid
ing without ticket.
You can hardly imagine the pleasure
that this little animal produced; every
day he was ready for play. In a short
time he would run from one end Of the
car to the other, eat from the lunch
baskets or nestle in the muff of lady and

Little Minnie, in her eagerness for flow
ers, wounded her hand ON sharp, prickly
thistle.
I" l do wish there was no such thing as a
thistle in the world, she said, pettishly.
And yet the Scotch nation think so
much Of it that they engrave it on the ma
tional arms" said her mother.
" 1t is the last flower that l should pick
out" said Minnie. g." / am sure they
could have found great many nicer
ones, even among the weeds"
But this little thistle did them such
good service once" said her mother "that
they learned to esteem it very highly
One time the Danes invaded Scotland
and they prepared to make attack on
sleeping garrison. So they crept along
barelooted as still as possible, until they
were almost on the spot. Just at that
moment a barefooted soldier stepped on a
great thistle, and the hurt made him utter
a sharp, shrill cry of pain. The sound
awoke the sleepers, and each man sprang
to his arms. They fought with great
bravery, and the invaders were driven
back with much loss. So, you see, this
thistle saved Scotland, and ever since it
has been placed on their seals as their
national flower" -E1chanqe.

English simplicity of Manner.

1t Is the avoidance OF iass and gush and
sloppy compliments which has gained
them a reputation for GOODNESS of a

of manner; that and nothing else, and it
is simplicity of nature which dictates the
simple manner. Lunch may mean a
party of twenty people, but whether
twenty or .two, there is no ceremony.
The ladies walk into the dining room
BY themselves, the men straggle
after, and find their way &c such
seats as suit them. The talk is as easy as
if you were sitting about a fire. or more
so. If the lunch is q small one, the talk
ripples about the table; if large, you have

publish a full statement from Mr.,

planned their character, that there wa

Burleigh organs, the Bangor Wing and the
Kennebec Journal, had copied with manifest
signs of hearty approval. One was the
guilelessness of the Express-a defence
which surely did great credit to its heart,
though we admit it was somewhat at the ex-
pense of its head The other pointed out
that the dissertation might well be interpret
ed as master stroke Of strategy. worthy OF
Napoleonic mind. Strangely enough the
Express does not appear TO be pleased with
either of them, for, in a long editorial last
night. it complained that il was the victim of
the malicious envy of the Advertiser and
Press. which we're jealous of 1t on account
| of its already enormous and constantly grow
ing circulation. After this treatment, OF
course we do not feel like inyentlng any more
defenees for it. Bat it is Christian duty TO
heap Goals Of fire on the head OF our adyer-
| sares. and so we will try once more. IL
| sometimes happens in newspaper oi1ees that
matter does not receive careful supervision.
II sometimes comes in late and gets into the
| composing room without close scrutiny.
Now, supposing the sTticle on the caucus
came through the mail,-the afternoon mar
from the East for instance,-it is easy to see
how it might have got into the paper without
the editor being much to blame. OF course
he might be guilty of earelessness, but not
of maliciously knitting the candidate, as he
would be if he had put it in with full
knowledge Of its effect. This is an ex-
PLANTATION that acquts both the head and
heart of the Express, and leaves 1t guilty
only of the venial offence of carelessness.

An Unnecessary complication

Under this head the Biddeford Joarnal
calls attention to the fact that If Mr. Bur
leigh becomes Governor he will be at the
same time practically the State printer and
thus the auditor of his own accounts. 1t
says:
The printing for the State has been done for
many years at the Rennebec Journal Office. 1t
has been found convenient and deemed for the
best interests of the State TO have this large
amount Of printing, including legislative work,
public documents annual reports of State officers,
etc. amounting to thousands of dollars annually,
done at the State capital Mr.. Burleigh has re-
Gently acquired by purchase large interest IN
the Kennebec journal, which carries with II the
contract for the State printing, and while the
nominal title stands in the name OF his son, re-
Gently from College, the State Treasurer Is the
real owner and party interest lie IS practically
the public printer OF the State and will no doubt
SO Continue If nominated and elected Governor
all bills for State printing must come before him
for approval and be paid by his warrant drawn
upon the State Treasurer, and he would become
the auditor and direct The payment OF his own ac-
counts The question will suggest itself to reas-
enable and practical men whether the necessity
has come for a complete combination of the exec
utive, the treasury and printing departments OF
the State in the haAds OF one individual.
The point made by the Journal appears to
be one that deserves careful consideration
Will it be quite proper to make the public
printer Governor? As in the case of that
other question, "Will it be the proper thing
to make the State Treasurer Governors? the
obvious answer seems to be in the negative
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1888-05-23

There is nothing to be said against the
Hon. William l.. Putnam personally. He is
clean and able man, and in selecting him
for candidate for Governor. the Democratic
State convention acted much more wisely
than Democratic conventions usually do and
more wisely than this one was expected to
do. But Mr.. Putnam is Democrat and rep
resents party which is doing what it can
through its representatives in Congress to
knife some Of our most important industries.
He was one of the negotiators too of a fish
cry treaty which has proved very unsatisfac-
tory to Maine fishermen. His acceptability
to President Cleveland was one of the points
urged in favor Of his nomination, and we i'm
agipe it was much stranger point than his
acceptability to the Democratic voters, for 1t
is very much to be doubted If his nomination
proves popular with the rank and file of
his party.
