From the Chicago News.
In this day and age we moisten a stamp
and afhx it to our letters and give it no
further thought, accepting the stamp as a
matter-of-course convenience, and MANY
persons would be wondrously surprised II
they were to be told that their grandoar-
ents never saw postage stamp.
Henry Shaw. the father of Josh BIZ
lh-gs,' purchased the first two stamps
ever sold in the United States on August
6, 1877. He bought one each of the scent
stamp and the 1O-cent stamp, these two
denominations being the only ones put out
at that time. The 10-cent stamp he gave
to Gov. Briggs and kept the scent one for
himself
OF the two stamps first issued Washing
tons portrait was on the 1O-cent and
Franklin's on the other. Since that time
the various issues of the United States
stamps would furnish a unique portrait
gallery, showing the faces Of forty-eight
noted Americans Washington appears
on twenty-five issues, while Lincolns pic
ture Is on every issue since 1866. except
the Columbian series.
In 1873 law was passed prohibiting the
use OF the portraits of living men on the
United States stamps. thus placing living
men in the same position that women oc-
cIpied, whether dead or alive for no wo-
mans portrait has ever graced a stamp
belonging to the United States, postal or
revenue.
OF the go stamps which have been is
sued the values have ranged from / cent
to $1,000. Five dollars is the highest value
among postage stamps. but newspaper
stamps reach the hundred dollar mark,
while a revenue stamp may represent
S 900.
Stamps were put on the market I'm
August. 1S47. but were SO little used that
the government had to pass a law cnforc-
Ing prepayment of postage, which went
into effect in 1855. Before this action was
taken scarcely one letter in a dozen was
found with a stamp affixed Today the

writes: "At first the herd was kept five or
six miles north of the station, where there
was moss in abundance. nAs we had q

broke eleven new deer before spring."
How they Act i'm Harness.
Mr.. G. T. Howard, from the St. James
Episcopal Mission, who accompanied Mr..
Hultburg and the others when they took
the herd to Golovin bay, writes of his ex-
periences in reindeer driving as follows:
with many misgivings FINALLY perched
myself on top of the loaded sled behind the
deer which was to drive. At first there
was no trouble, but as soon as attempted
to guide the deer. my efforts were treated
with contempt. No matter how hard nor
how often 1 pulled on the line, or longee.
as the Lapps call 1t, he paid no attention
to it, except by occasionally coming tea
full stop and turning round to look at me
in a manner that made me feel rather I'M
comfort able-for the front hoofs OF the
deer are formidable weapons that can be
used with remarkable rapidty-but he made
no hostile demonstration. and, after trying
to stare me out of countenance for a mo-
ment, would suddenly wheel around, and
with a bound that would almost land me
on my head behind the sled would be OF. "
Mr.. Howard was finally reduced to the
expedient of tying his deer behind another
sledge, after which matters went very
smoothly. That method is often adopted.
and enables one man to drive many sledges
tfron ia a
steep hill to descend the deer is taken to the
back of the sledge. to which he is tied by
the longee, braces his feet and really pulls
backward. The descent Is very rapid. and
as sled and deer fly along they are almost
obscured by the whirling snow.
herd Of deer can be very easily driven.
They bunch together like sheep. and one
man and dog can easily handle large

for enterprise in aid of the south. BY
swift and decided stroke of military
foresight, Frank T. Blair had captured
Camp Jackson and its arsenal in May
thus saving the city and its munitions to
the Union. but there had sprung up all
over the country secret societies in SYM
pathy with the south. These societies were
branches of the famous knights of the
Golden circle, and II was their hope that
at some time they might be able to do
some decisive work in aid of secession.
The Lodge Meets.
There was a lodge or circle in Gravois
into which all the confederate sympathizers
were gathered, but thus far the southern
cause owed them little. There was some
thing in the sudden call for a meeting this
November day, however. which convinced
every eager knight that the time for action
had at last come. Some deed was to do
what il was. no ore could tell. save the
peddler. but the night grew thick from
every direction, on foot and on horseback
the men began to silently move through
the cold bleak air toward the rendezvous
The TWO young men of the cornshocks were
brothers. Abner and Limri Taylor. They
were both stalwart. bearded and very quiet
in ma nner- At supper they uttered no
word of the news brought to them, for
black ears. keen as a hare's, were open
to hear the lowest word. The blacks were
already tremulous with excitement over
