Trinidad has issued the two-pence
commemorative stamp, with picture OF
the landing of Columbus. A lilac
frame with brown center forms q
very pleasing combustion.
At Manila. up to September 1, United
States postage stamps had been sold
to the value of $4,000. The ma jority,
doubtless, were brought by our SOL
diers and sailors, to correspond with
friends at home, but it is certainly a
very good showing.
Boston produces a novelty in the
way of a collector who has made four
collections in so years and sold them
all, and now he is at it again. His only
pleasure seems to be in collecting, and
when he has secured everything pos
sible in one special line, he sells out.
and takes up another line.
1t is reported that two more of the
rare Mauritius stamps, a specimen Of
which brought $1,000 recently, have
just been discovered in Bombay, India.
The original letter accompanies the
envelope bearing the two stamps.
which are in fair condition and have
every appearance of being genuine.
About 25 can now be accounted for.
Considering the number of stamps is
sued and the combined area of the is
lands, Hawaii can probably lay claim to
alargernumbero of valuable stamps than
most countries of the world. Not only
does the first issue bring big prices. as
is the case with most small countries,
coming down to 1865. are noticeably
scarce and command a good premium
whenever they are sold. The two-cent
of 1851, has the reputation of being one
of the rarest specimens known, and
has brought as high as $500.

THE result of the United States
elections came as surprise and dis
appointment TO Sagasta, who had con-
fidently expected that the Republicans
would at least have lost control of the
house of representatives. The Spanish
Cabinet is convinced tina. the elections,
upon which it has been counting to
obtain better terms at Paris. have re-
suited in nothing that can aid Spanish

That statement verifies the Repub-
lican position taken during the late
campaign. Had the verdict of the bal
lot been adverse to the administration
there is no telling to what proportions
it would have inflated Spanish AFRO
