VALUABLE POSTAGE STAMPS.
Specimen Brings Seven Hun
dred Dollars at Auction.

QreQ UOllarS at AuCC1Ou.
From the Philadelphia North American.
Seven hundred dollars was paid for tiny
piece Of paper yesterday afternoon. The
transaction took place in Lippincott's auc-
ton rooms at IA South 7th street. The
little slip was rather crudely engraved
Two words, Hawaiian Postage were
printed at the top, and two other
words, namely, 1.-TWO Cents" were printed
at the bottom. Around a large, bold figure
8, which Is stamped In the center OF the
paper, there Is rough scroll design. For
this and nothing more-eXcepting the fact
that the little piece Of parchment Is sole
survivor of the first Hawaiian postal issue
an unkl. own man was willing to pay 700
good American dollars. For another and
still smaller bit of paper, one without any
scroll at that, some one was ready to pay
great many years and belonged to the Sc
ries of early Philadelphia carrier stamps,
issued in 1S49 and 1850. The letters ~ S.
p. o. are printed at the top of the docu-
ment. Then comes the single word paid" "
and under this the denomination, Il cent"
When 1t came to buying a real pretty
stamp, one with the picture of a bird-the
American eagle-nicely engraved on it, the
numerous bidders who had gathered in the
auction room held their hands their
pocket books and refused to separate them
stamp issued years ago by Frazer & Co.
It was good for cents when turned into
the city dispatch post. Scores Of other
stamps, representing issues which are not
so rare as the above, were sold for prices
ranging from $40 to 500.

A Chinese Telegraph Office.

From the North China Herald.
In South China one of the weirdest OBJ
jects that can meet the eye is the one row
of rotting telegraph poles that runs from
Canton, north, through paddy fields, across
swamps. over mountains, on which are two
wires Their disharmony with their sur
roundings, great as it Is, Is small compared
with the disharmony of the scientific west
with the crude arrangements of the inter-
ior Of a telegraph office in one of the in
land cities The place Is generally found,
after much seeking, in a poor and little
frequented street, probably found there on
the ground of economy. In the interior of
the office the most conspicuous thing IS
the opium divan, where the clerks and the
long robed gentry crafty their desire for
sleep. This encumbrance more than half
fills the small room.
The office can boast OF several clocks
perhaps to insure that at least one Of them
shall be going-which keep different hours.
Gambling books We're in evidence all
around. and it was evident that not only
smoking but gambling was q pasttime.
Three of four clerks strutted about after
the most approved Chinese fashion, of
whom one once knew little English,
which appeared to be rusty beyond use.
However, when he had got hold Of his
English and then found what was the price
me- he wanted to commence conversation
in English before he sent the message.
This tendency I cut of rather short. BY
this time every inch Of space was filled up
by those who wanted to see the foreign
devil. and SO the clerk had to swear at
these with all the energy that he possess
ed. Indeed, here was the only thing that
called forth any energy. By the time all
this was concluded quite quarter OF an
hour had passed. Yet the clerks were in
no way conscious of any incongruities. and
were surprised at any impatience or irrita-
ton manifested on my part. But all this,
funny as It is, pales before the experience

cremation there is little left of the body.
but in the case of Dr. Grimes the ashes
were quite heavy. owing to the fact that a
leaden bullet which the doctor had carried
in his body for many years was found.
The bullet was. of course. melted out, but
its original weight was there, and was
much heavier than the cremated remains
OF the body.
This leaden pellet has history equally
as interesting as that of the man that car

the death Of Thornburg and many officers
and men, is we'll known.
Many deeds Of bravery by both officers
and men were recorded in connection with
the siege, but there is one story that of
the wounding of "Fighting Bob. the doc
tor" that is not generally known.
It was on the third day of the siege. The
Indians were drawing their fighting circle
closer and closer behind the little band Of
boys in blue. The reds had been doing
awful work being armed with Winchester
rifles, and officers and men were falling
every few minutes. Dr. Grimes had been
through the war Of the rebellion. and had
seen considerable service on the frontier in
campaigns against the Indians. He was an
expert with rifle or pistol. and many red
skin was knocked from his horse by bullets
from his gun. At this fight, in many
others. he found time to do a little shoot
Ing. He was standing in the rifle pits
which had been dug just inside the line Of
wagons, when a private on his right fell,
mortally wounded Grimes stopped over
to examine the wound and as he did SO

he been standing upright the bone would
have been shattered and the fighting doc

his own wounds until three days later
when the relief expedition arrived. Grimes
had been in an exhausted condition. He
was brought to Fort Russell where he
hovered between life and death for many
weeks. Several efforts were made to locate
the bullet and extract It, but without avail
Upon his recovery the bullet caused him
no trouble, and no further effort was made
to remove it.

with a capital Of Ella. 600 to establish q ceme-
terry for domestic pets. A tomb may be
rented for about four shillings a year and
the cemetery is divided into separate in
closures for dogs, cats, birds and "miscel-

a trifle invidious. Imagine ones pet pony
