to the Car and Czarina is expected. If this
child is girl the Grand Duke Michael would
succeed to his brothers throne as Car, whereas
If the infant be boy II would be the child who

NEW STAMPS FOR NEW-zEALAND.
From The London News.

With reference 10 the New-Zealand penny post
age learn that Sir Edward Poynter. who was
quite willing TO design the new stamp, found that
he could not get IL done In time. The commission
accordingly intrusted TO Messrs WaterlOw &
Sons, who have also printed the stamps. The
Agent-Cieneral has kindly forwarded a copy of
the stamp which will be an interesting addition
10 stamp collections. II is cOlored pink. In the
centre stands the drsped figure OF a woman, holding
in her hand scePtre or caduceus. Behind her is a
globe, typifying Universal Postage" which words
are printed in small letters at her feet; also a
ship anoat upon the ocean. AZ the top Is inscribed
''NeH-Zealand." and below, "One Penny The
symbolism OF the stamp is happily conceived and
the general effect very artistic.

MICHAEL'S LOVE FOR FINLAND

MICHAEL'S LOVE FOR FINLAND
Michael may be expected either as regent or
as Emperor to effect radical notifications of the
policy pursued by his brother Nicholas. from
whom he is known &c differ a number of very
important points. Thus. for instance. it is no
secret that he has all along thoroughly disap-
proved of his brothers attitude toward Finland,
a country of which he is exceptionally fond, en-
tertaining a profound admiration both for the
Firms and for their national mode of govern
ment, which is being abolished The Firms
are aware OF his sentiments toward them. as,
indeed. are all people who have been brought in
contact with him. and while no one in the Grand
Duchy goes far as to express any wish for the
death of Nicholas. there is no doubt that the
population are convinced that the coming TO
power of their friend and champion. the Grand
Duke Michael, would begin new and happier
era
While Michael is in favor of restoring to the
