a waste of pen and paper, but when every-

lift, the wind to change, and the temperature
to show signs of warmth, and everybody has
been disappointed, a word on this, the eighth

Illegal Traffic in Postage Stamps.
WASHINGTONL May 20,—Ever since the
mode of compensating postmasters of the
fourth class by commissions on the sales of
postal cards, stamped envelopes and stamps,
was adoged, it has been a source of endless
trouble \ the post office department, and has
made work for every special agent who could
be spared to look after the frauds. Hundreds
uponhun reds of postmasters have been re-
their names have been furnished to the press
for publication, and yet so strong is the
temptation that all the efforts of the depart-
ment have proved unequal to the suppres-
sion of the illegal traffic, and there seems but
one mode to‘put’a stop to it, viz: by a‘ repeal
of the law and the adjustment of salaries on
the basis of the stamps, etc., cancelled in'the
office as was formerly done. As an illustra-
tion of the manner in which the present, law
operates the following facts will be sufficient:
A special agent who has been engaged in the
southwest for some time past sends to the de-
partment an affidavit made by a merchant
who is engaged in regular business in that lo
cality, in which he states that he has received
postage stamps of the denomination of one
cent, two cents, three cents, six cents and ten
costs from parties whose names are given
with the sum received from each. There are
some eight or ten names given with the
amounts received with sales, etc. One, firm
alone, one of whom is postmaster, has paid
him $1,389 in stamps in values varying from
$30 to $200 at a payment. In every case
where stamps have thus been used the party
is either a postmaster or a member of a firm
in which there is a postmaster. In some cases
a discount was made of from 5 to 7 per cent.
The value of the stamps thus received by this
merchant is over $2,600 on ,which the gov-
ernment is unlawfully made to pay acomnus-
sion of from $1,200 to $1,500,‘which goes in-
to the pockets of dishonest postmasters. .As
a general thing local sympathy and the diffi-
culty in obtaining the necessary evrdence
makes the effort to punish the offender be-
yond removal almost impossible. And when
an officer is removed there is no guarantee
that the new man will not trade more in
stamps than his predecessor. Notwithstand-
ing the hopelessness of the efforts to suppress
the traffic, the department is determined to
prosecute the offenders whenever their atten-
tion is called to irregular sales.

A SLIGHT MISTAKE. -—The present Archbish-

Lieutenant of Ireland; his .Grace sat on the
right of his hostess, the Duchess ofAbercorn.
In the midst ofahe dinner the company were
startled by seeing the Archbishop rise from
his seat, and still more startled to hear him
exclaim, in a dismal and sepulchral tOne, “It
has come !' it has come 1”
“What has come, your Grace ?” eagerly cri-
ed half adozen voices from different parts of
the table.
“What I have been expecting for twenty
years,” solemnly answered the archbishop—
“a stroke of paralysis. I have been pinching
myself for the last twenty minutes, and , find
myselfventirely without sensation. ” _ _ '
