Not more than half of the people who
visit the Monument ascend to the top. By
neglecting to do this they miss the most
interesting feature Of the visit. To view
the city from that great height is to see
it with all it's beauties clearly defined and
all it's heavier lines obliterated. The dusty
streets almost disappear under lines of trees
restful In their verdancy; traffic seems TO
proceed with Philadelphian leisureness, and
the (lingy environs of railroad stations ap-
pear as clean black spots. The broad, blue
canopy above is as far away as ever, but
it's fleecy clouds make pillows of the hills
standing like a bodyguard around the city

threads it's waythrougn asmiling landscape

and IN those days there were plenty
OF game and no man would 90 out
unless he carried his gun. 1he
swamp is all on this side of the river

had proceeded some two or three

Green Stamps Agair.


Boston Herald.
Uncle Sam has changed The color
Of his postage stamps four times
within the past twOgy years, and
now the color Of the &c carmine
stamp is to be changed back TO green
on the plea that the carminc stamp
is Too hashy for government docu-
ment, and green Is considered more
digniiied and proper. The color of
the new stamp VIII be the same
shape as that Of the silver certificates
aud greenback rOJes. The principal
saving in the use Of green ink is due
TO the fact that it is brought in large
quantities for revenue stamps and
notes, while red ink is bought in small
quantities for stamp alone. Consl-
derng the fact tlat the green postage
stamp was driven out by the public
clamor against II only a few years
ago, II is odd that t. should now bob
up again on toe score Of economy.
The handsomest &c postage stamp
ever issued by the government was the
brown one that preceded the former
green ones.
