The Destiny Of Canada.

The destiny that awaits the greater
half Of the continent, now included
within the British possessions OF North
America, is subject Of the most pro-
found interest. If, as resulting from
o commercial union with the United
States and the political consequences
that would follow from an enormous
increase in population, with dissat-
isfaction with colonillism and the de-
velopment OF real national life,
movement should set in for the indie
pencence of Canada it would take but
q few years to achieve it. Already
there is "a tendency in this direction in
the Canadian mind, especially among
the young men of Canada; and there
would be less disinclination on the
part of English statesmen to favor a
movement Of that character in prefer
eBee to absorption by the United
States. The independence of Canada
could result only in the creation of %
great republic, founded upon very
much the same principles as those
that now preyade the United States.
The area, comprising now eleven
provinces and territories, could he
divided advantageou5ly into thirty
states; and if the movement toward u
republic should have the hearty CO
operation and all the commercial adj
vantages Of a close union with the
United States, no greater achieve
ment could be imagined than to build
up great nation composed Of people
of the same language, the same laws
and the same literature, governed by
the sane principles, as having the
same destiny in the same advance
ment Of civilization. North Americans

Som sthing About stamps.

Not week passes that numerous
readers do not write to inquire the
value of some more or less rare stamps
in their possession, not realizing how
difficult it is to fix such values. Stamps
apart from their intrinsic value of or
cents (when uncancelel) are mere
ly curiosities and have no actual
value.
Some people would not give dollar
for hundred OF the rarest stamps in
the world, while others would mort
gage house to obtain possession of a
single stamp. Some ofthe prices paid
for stamps in this country are such as
may well amaze the young stamp col
lector, and in Europe the mania is so
great that some collections are almost
priceless.
M. Philippe de Ferrari has collec-
tion Of 100000 stamps, and he has sold
one collection to a Parision stamp
lover for $4,000.
Idaho news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1887-1891, 1889-09-14

Mr.. Burnett. an English collector,
has stamps valued $4,000 and many
collections. by no means remarkable,
have been sold in England for $1,000
The late Duchess de Galliera aceum-
ulated 5000 albums, which are now
valued at 100000.
At the Paris mint there is remark
able collection, and the Rothchilds
collection in Paris is so costly and so
highly priced by its owner that it is
guradel like the Koh-i-noor, and only
experts are allowed to see it.
AT a recent London auction, some
remarkable prices We're realized.
British Guiana stamps brought the fol-
lowing prices: A "blue 4cn of 1856,
cancelled, slS5; uncaneeled, $3.50; four
lie, issue 1858, Cancelled, s. each; and
a pair Of &c Magentas of 1856, $50.
These prices are paralyzing to the
ordinary reader. but much higher
figures have been reached in other
sales. Here are a few samples:
The 15c and soc Reunion stamps
bring $500, aud the New Brunswick
sc stamp finds a ready purchaser at
$50 The set of four 1852 Hawaiian
stamps are valued at $1,000, and the
1887 Mauritius stamps. &c and 4c, can
rarely be had under $500.
Old Brazil black stamps range in
value from s. TO S12. 80; the green and
yellow ones Of Buenos Ayres bring as
high as S25 each, while t he red ones
are worth $50.
The vermillion frame French stamp
! of 1919 and Nv. r. black English
penny stamp are considered cheap at
$50 apiece, while the Mulready wrap
per on India paper, issued in 1910, has
been sold for 800.
| The prices are enough to send cold
chill down the back OF the youthful
: collector who is rejecting whether he
! can afford to invest sec for an 1888
Peruvian one penny red " But that is
( no reason why the collector should not
collect, if it gives him pleasure. 1t is
1 a harmless ammusement and incl
dentally teaches history to the cotlec-
tor.
But there is a drawback, as there is
to every amusement. All rare stamps
are counterfeited, and the rogues are
so skillfuI that only al expert can de-
tect the imposition.
Many collector, young and old,
has a stamp he prizes as the gem OF
his collection. supposed to be worth
dollars when it is not worth cents.
However, it is consolation to know
that Il counterfeit gives just as much
satisfaction as genuine stamp, unit
its spurious character is discovered
and such discovery very rarely hap
pens. Days.
