THE NEW POSTAGE STAMPS.

The new issue of postage-stamps will
differ from the current issue in several
particulars. Its denominations, for ex-
ample, will be one, two, three, four, five,
six, eight, ten, fifteen and fifty cents
and 81, 50 and So. The coming issue
will drop the thirty-cent and ninety-cent
stamps, transferring the heads of
Thomas Jefferson and Commodore Perry,
which now stand ON them, respectively,
to the fifty.cent and 81 denominations.
The general design will be slightly
changed from that of the present issue, a
triangular decoration being placed on
each of the upper corners, which are
now plain.
The general has made the
designs of the 50 and S. stamps a special
subject of consideration. Looking over
the rest of the series, he found portraits
of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin jack
son, Lincoln, Grant and Garfield, repre-
senting the executive branch of the civil
government, Sherman representing the
army, and Perry the navy, and Webster
and Clay representing the legislative
branch. But the judicial branch had
been persistently ignored in the stamp
portraits from the foundation of the gov
eminent till now, In an earlier issue
Alexander Hamilton had figured, but
the great observation-disclosures of oppo-
site education and faith had been
ignored, so now John Marshal and
James Madison are to appear on the 81
and So stamps.

CIRCUS DAY coMINc.
Only q Little. While. to Walt for
RihgIIng Brothers. Mammoth Ex-

Ringing brotnerS Mdnnmotn EN-
The rapid approach of Ringling day in
this city has created widespread interest,
and it is safe to predict that the great
amusement enterprise known as Ring
ling Brothers Worlds Greatest Shows
will receive an enthusiastic welcome
when they exhibit In Bennington next
Tuesday, August 7th. Ringing Broth
ers' Exhibition is larger, grander, and
more comprehensive than ever this year,
and the press of other cities unhesitat-
ingly pronounce it the greatest enter
prise of its kind in the world. In point
of novelty or in the number of great feat
ures no other show can approach it.
Lundin, the marvellous strong man, is in
himself feature worth the price of adj
mission many times over. So are the
Gilets, the great Partisan acrobatic quin-
tette. The ring performance is beyond
all comparison with that of other shows.
The menagerie, with its giant giraffe,
the only one in America; the ponderous
hippopotamus, which created so much
excitement by escaping from captivity
last winter, and the many other rare and
curious wild beasts; the horse fair, with
its valuable racing strings, and the ia
nous long named Percheron. The glo-
rious triumphal entry of Caesar into
Rome, the most respondent spectacle of
its kind ever inaugurated; the sports of
old Rome, with its thrilling standing
races, its exciting two and four horse
chariot races and other engrossing con-
tests, all contribute to performance
which in extent, variety and costliness,
defies description. We would call par
ticular attention to the procession, which
will leave the show grounds at 10o'clock
on the morning of the exhibition, and
move over the principal down town
streets. Ringling Brothers have always
been famed for their great street Pageant,
but this years effort far surpasses that
of any previous year. Nothing more re-
splendent or gorgeously beautiful could
be imagined.

COMPETITION WITH cooLIE La

1t probably is not generally under
stooo by the American public that in
this demand for free raw material, the
President and the Nova Scotia Coal Syn
dictate are practically preparing the way
to flood the United States markets with
the product of Chinese coolie labor.
There is nothing in the laws of the Do
minion to prevent the employment of
Chinese coolies in the Nova Scotia mines.
The miners in the State of Washington
receive 50. 25 day in wages, while in
British Columbia, just across the line,
Chinese coolies work gladly for go cents
a day.
And there is nothing to prevent the
syndicate of Secretary Lamont and Mr..
Whitney from sending these coolies
along the line of the Canadian Pacific,
whose leading officers are partners in the
Nova Scotia Coal Syndicate, and putting
them to work in the Nova Scotia mines
at go cents day. The owners of the
coal mines in West Virginia, who are
leading Democrats, insist that it cannot
be possible for them to compete with
the Nova Scotia coal mines with coal
free unless the rate of wages be reducde
to coolie prices.
The spectacle is then presented that
the President of the United States is de-
manding in the name of free raw ma
terial an opportunity for this Canadian
Pacifc-Whitney syndicate to employ
coolie labor at 60 cents a day, with
which to supply New England and the
Atlantic sea coast cities with coal, in
competition with the mines of PennsyI-
Yania, Virginia and West Virginia,
The efforts of the Administration, un-
der the name of free raw material, to
make it possible for United States syn
dictates, whose members are near to the
Administration, to employ coolie labor,
also eX' ends to the lumber and iron ore
business.
The lumber, even manufactured lum-
Der, has, at the instance of the Populists
who entered into the coalition with the
Democrats, been made free. There is no
reason why the coolie labor, so plentiful
in British Columbia, may not also be
made available in the lumber business,
and the lumber manufacturers and work
men of the United States be compelled
to enter into competition with them,
The same is true as to the iron ore work.
ers of Cuba. Chinese coolies are al
ready employed in Cuba under long
term contracts at very low prices.
1t is the Chinese coolies who mine the
iron ore of Cuba, to which the eyes OF
the American syndicates, which are neal
to the Democratic party, so eagerly
turn, and for whose interest President
Cleveland is demanding free iron ore.

who was one OF the most successful OF
American writer's in his earnings, said not
long before his death few years ago that
the best that n writer could hope 20 do in
the way Of an income was To earn perhaps
rs much as s., 900 year and that only
for a few years The number OF men who
were able To receive much as that in
year for their writings was very small, ne
thought, and IL j. probable that these fig
ures represent the largest sum ever receiv-
ed by Mr.. Redpath in n single year.
Were Mr.. Redpath now alive and famil-

he would probably be the first to acknowl-
edge that a great change had occurred
within tho past four or five years, and ONO
which makes &c now a temptation for
those who have facility with the pen and
the capacity To use IL 40 "a to- meet the
popular demand TO make of writing a pro-

quoted as saying that DIR. Doyle Is likely
TO make as much money upon his present
lecturing trip as Dickens did. Very likely
the manager was misunderstood, for Dick
ems because Of his extraordinary popu
