The Origin of Stamps.
Probably few of the millions of persons
who daily place stamps en their letters nnd
deposit them in a pest box nt the nearest
lamp pest knew thnt it is only thirty-eight
years since stamps wero first used in this
country. Fewer still knew that Antheny
Trollepo, who was one of the most efficient
of postefllco officials ns well ;is ene of the
greatest and most preductive of novelists,
secured the adoption of pillar boxes in
England long after they had been in use en
the Continent.
It was seven years after the genu of the
present postage stamp was adopted in
England that the system was finally put
into operation in thi3 country'. In 1837
Rowland Hill, the genius of modern post pest
office progress, began Ills agitation in favor
of cheap postage and the mere prompt and
efficient delivery of letters. Various sug
gestions were made as te stamps, and de
signs were submitted by a large number of
the artists of England. Of these the most
famous is the Mulrendy wrapper, unselled
copies of which new command many dol
lars. About the first of August, 1817, in ac
cerdance with a measuie approved en the
3rd of March, just preceding, stamps of the
denomination of 5 and 10 cents were issued
by the postefllco department at "Washing
ton. Cave Jehnsen, who showed himself an
efficient postmaster general, had ably and
zealously promoted the adoption of the new
system. This answeied the needs of the
service until July 1851, when the reduction
of postage matle necessary the series of 1
and 3centbtanips, which were seen supple
mental by new 5's nnd 10's, :lnd by addi
tional denominations or H, 1M, 30 and 1)0
cents. Since that time tlie changes have
been tee many te require enumeration, and
the aggregate issue ran into the bil
lions last year.
Toe little attention has been paid te thp
artistic beauty of these stamps, and the
vignettes of some men unweithy tliishoner
have been given an unduly wide publicity.
The present serics.whlle defective at many
points, is an improvement ever its prede
cessers. The stanir.jaie laiger than neccs-
andtheir .artistic execution net cred
itable, and their printing ery bad. As no
new denominations of stamps will be re
quired for many yeais by any f ui ther re
duction of postage, it would be well if the
president and the iestniastergeneral would
give seme attention te this matter and so se so
curetho issue of an altogether new sciies,
in such a sliane as shall satisfy the aesthetic
instinct as well as the convenience of their
. .millions of' constituents.

Geed Tenehers Fer the Primaries.
Supt. Buelule, in his last monthly report
te the school beard, dwells forcibly upon
a subject te which the Intelligencer
has frequently called public attention the
importance of securing geed teachers for
the primary schools aud of keeping them
there. Te secure this result there must be
less disparity between the pay of the pri
mary teachers and these in cliarge of
schools of a se-called higher grade.
The city superintendent, in common w itli
nearly all ether educators of wide experi
ence and keen observation, knows "of no
geed reason why all the beginners in teach
ing should be obliged te experiment en the
youngest, the most impressible, and hence
the most easily and the most last
ingly injured pupils." The error in
the public schools is possibly ene that per
vades our whele social system. In the
training of the family, as in the culture of
the school room, tee often the plastic
mind Is heedlessly left te be affected by
Influences, which if net positively bad,
are at least weak and insufficient for tlie
receptlveness of tender years. Supt.
Buehrle comments with due severity upon
the practice of net only putting tlie begin
ners in Instruction into the primary schools,
hut "as seen as they show superior qwdiflca qwdiflca
tiens as teachers replacing them by such as
have no experience, thus condemning these
schools te be taught either by the ineffi
cient, or by the inexperienced. "
It is unquestionably true that there are
seme persons who have the special gift of
successfully imparting Instruction te yeunc
---'children; these teachers cannot always
stand the "best examination," or, as ex
aminations go, command the highest cer
tificate; but superintendents, directors,
and ethers interested In securing the best
8Choelsystem,oughttoboablo te find out
them nnd their merits, and when tliey get
the right teacher in the right placoheor
she should be kept there and paid his or
her worth, regardless of an nibltrary and
artificial standard, which nffixes salaries
and assigns teachers irrespective of Bpecial
aptitude and merit.
Foel or Knave
The New Yerk Times gives an admira
ble setting down te "Mr. "William M.
Hancock, who has lately been removed
from the office of postmaster at Meridian,
Miss." In his "place was nppelnted J. J.
Shannen, of tlie firm of Hern & Shannen,
owners and editors of the Meridian Mer
cury. That paper, en July i!5, coarsely a--nailed
the memory of Gen. Grant, and a
clipping of the matter published has been
' sentever the North te evoke condemnation
of Bliauueu'u appointment. Hancock sent
it te the limes for tliat purpose.
ut the Tim's points out tliat J the
Mercury e Atig. fi, It finds n card from
Mr. J. J. Shanner , In which he says :
" Tlie nrtlcle Oiatjipponreil last woek. In tlie
Mtrcurtf headed 'Urant li Pend' was written
by Cel. A. n. Hern, nnd does net In any

ness, nnd new mourn the death ei no distin
guished r soldier nnd citizen, the nrtlcle

in my opinion, In no way oxpressca the fool feel
lugs of the Southern ioeplo.,f
As this appeared in tlie. daily edition of
the Mercury befere Hancock wrete te the
Times, it concludes that he knew of It and
sought te nilsrcpicscut his successor, like
his coadjutors in the Neitli seek te misrep
resent the entire Southern pcople because
of ene feel's screed.
Butler's Address.
General Butler's eulogy upon General
Grant deserves careful reading and close
study. It is the expression of an able aud
original man, whehas something te say and
says it in the most diiect way. There are
seme objections made that it is devoid of
rheteiic. On the centraiy it is a master
piece of rheteric in the best sense of the
word" the art of elegant and liceurate
composition." Its author has net sought te
conceal ideas, nor has he hunted for gar
nishment te deck out tlie nakedness of
thought with frills and frippery. This
speech is full of substance.
There will be many te disagree with
Butler's estimate of General Grant; few
will assent te it in eacli and every particu
lar. But his must be a narrow and paiti
san mind who fails te recognize behind
this oration a man of great mental ferce,
original habits of thought and a large
knowledge of his subject. It is idle te say
he speaks of Grant with prejudlce against
him because of their military differences.
IIe anticipates that criticism and hits it
squaiely en the head ; though there was no
need of it, for the close association of him
self and Grant in civil and political life is
well known te tlie country.
On the whele, General Butler has thus
fardelUcied the most notable Grant ora
tion. "ffiu. you walk into my parlor?" said

Tin: question of what is red amusement is
new deeply exercising the mind of the suiu-
mer population of Ocean Grove nnd Anbury
l'ark along the New Jorfey ee.wt. Anbury
l'ark Is frivolous onetigli te permit skating
rlnki, bowling alleys, billiard roeniH, cigar
stores nnd that most sinful of nllmumlnne
pleasures, dancing. Te the godly pcople liv
ing en the ethor slde of Wcsley Iake, w hich

nation of desolation, lint Ocean CJrove Is
forced te contend with a mero Insidious ell.
It seems that the dreadful bathing suits
which custom nmkes neccssary at the sea sea
slde are very fashionable as street nttire nt
Ocean Oroe. Se gencral became the prac
tice of wearing these robes en the stiectthnt
it became nceesiary te pest the following
notice : " We are sorry te soe that the regu
lation respecting poerlo parading en the
streets In wet and vers brief bathing suits Is
net observed. In lens than an hour fifty of
these mops wero counted as they passed ene
cerner." It would require conslderablo psy
chological research te determine -which form
of amusement is mero godly that of the
rinks, billiard halls, etc, or that or the folks
who play the part of animated dish nigs in
most unpeetic suits of lilue ilaunel. Te in

A deuiitluss woll-menulug contemporary
recently criticized the use by the Iktki.m
auNCint of the term " funeral obsequies"
in describing the contemplated burial efGcn.
Grant- It is always most sagacious te wait
until oue has fallen bolero ellerlng te pick
him up. "Kuneral obsequies" conveyed
the exact idea which the I.sti:i,i.kii:.v
OEii wished te convey. Obsoquies Is
irem the Iatin or scquer, I fellow,
and ob against, or after. Thus In Its primary
sense It referred te tlie last act In the burial
of the dead. Ily custom it came te be used
for the whele luneral sorvlce by theso who
did net understand its derivation. The ad ad ad
joctive "funeral" is ery proerly applied
te the last rites or "obsequies." Ne less a
person than Milten wrote:

With silent ebttijuy and funrral train.

Grant was educated asnseldlcr, nnd sercd
with distinction in tlie Mexican war. A ppar
ently dhgusted with the ln?y oase of military
lite In tlme of poace, hoieslgncd his cemmis
sien nnu turned jus uucnilen te business pur
suits, In which he was net successful, proba
bly because they wero net adapted, as evi
dently they wero net, ollher te Ills tnste or his
lacullles. Ills political predilections had
been, its wero theso or many ethers in his
party, en the slde or slavery ns nu institution
imbedded in tlie constitutional ; but his lieart
was right, and when the Southern states,
their KX)iile, forgetful or thelr patriotism
and or their constitution obligations, attempt
ed te se or themselves from the Union and
found a new cmplre whose coruer-stoiio
should be slavery, Iio oflcred his services in
uenau ei rigiu and tlie true principles or De
mocracy, and with unwavering Ildellty rol rel rol
lewed his ling Irem victory te victory until
the Union was saved. Hee hew completely

lerrd and sustained by her bounty, he steed
ready when the occasion demanded te de
battle, as did Washington, for llberty nnd
country ; nnd when his strategy or obstinate
determination had suhdtiud the rebellion his
instincts of statesmanship showed him that
the country nearly one-half of which had
needed te be conquered ought te become
united again; and therefore the generous
stipulations of surrouder nt Appomattox
which, lr tni liates engendered by tlie war
had permitted the Heulh te receive with true
leve el country nud with the understanding
of what the future, oenor or later, must
bring a unlted ieople would have long
slnce obliterated all form or discussions and
divisions or party springing from tlie rebel
lion. HIS I'llKSlllKNCV INKVITAllLi:.
1'rem tlie hour of Lee's surrender the
presidency el General Grant was Inevitable.
Ah a soldier he had wen the admiration and
gratitude of the people, aud by n shigle act
of salesmanship he had convinced them
that he ininlit be as canahlu in nubile ntlalrs
as In the field, although uiilustructed in tlie
mluuli.'c of cev eminent. The
isuu of 1 Seeth
and the tergiversation or Jehnsen made
Grunt president nsKoen as it could Imdnne
under constitutional Tenus. IIe took the
reins of government Inte his hands under
tlie most dilllcuUef all conditions. The con
test between Jehnsen and Coimress ns te the
mannorer reconstruction or tliocevorumoiit
or the soveral Southern states, wherein he
attempted te accomplish that Inuvessiblllly nt
ence by oxeeutlve order, but which could net
be dene w Itheut considerable l.ipse or tlme if
v emrress nan mesi cordially concurred In tlie
endeaver, had caused Congress te go much
further In interfering with the unkindly pas
sions of the Seuth, and the action of the
president had stlmiitnted cnnllicttnc and
-laugoreus organizations asalnst the laws
et I'eugrcsM, se mat only a wise and patient
waiting was open tn Grant's administration
for preper reconstruction, usIiik the heavy
hand only when great wrongs aud outrages'
wero porpetratcd ui-eu tlie uueilendlng citi
zens, se that Grant's first term tieu this
topic was, in fact, but a firm trrasp, heldini;
either section from unduly interfering, Irri
tating or exasperating the ether.
Grunt was a second tlme elected by a unlted
North, his messages and declarations te Con Cen Con
cress, direct and siuiple In their announce
ment of his purposes, and at the same tlme
touder toward the Seuth, whero lonlency was
a -v Irtue, enabling the reconstruction te be
gin en such a basis as alene it was possible
te work it out. The union of the soveral
portions of the country slowly progressed, It
being for the Interests of ene political party
te maintain the .Seuth In its entirety as an
opposition.
Tin: Tiiinn ninit wevi:u:.vr.
On thoappreach el the end or the second term
or his presidency seme of the lest men of the
country, qulte irrespective or party, looked
te tlie election or Grant for a third term as the
readlest means or completing reconstruction.
Itut seme Hepublican Journals, Inthondvo Inthendvo Inthondve
vivey or thelr tavorite as his successor, made
Innuendo against his administration for cor
ruption under the cry of "Hererm'" which Is
ever the purist's phrase when he lntends
mlschier, and oue member of his cabinet
commenced pmsccutiensagalust the distillers
or whisky for what was alleged te be enor
mous frauds; but he neglected te prosccute
any ene in his own state, which was a very
large distilling state, and in which, ofceurso,
all the whisky men were henest se honest
that they appeared nt the next Itepublican
national convention, with drums, trumet.s
and banners, faveiiughis nomination. One
of his clesest household friends was attacked
by charges w hlch were afterwards show n at a
trial te be false and perjured, and an at
tempt was made te reach Grant in that man
ner. Of ceurse, at last, when the csise was
trled his friend was found net guilty by the
jury; but then the prosecution had dene Its
work. Let me say here and new that thore
is new no man who dares te ralse the ery el
corruption against Grant The Idoaef taking
public money te himself, or nllewing his
lriends te de it, nover ontered his mind, and,
fromnery Intimate knowlcdge for seme
years of his character, I nm ready and will
ing, as I ever have been, te bear this testi
mony. That he appointed men who were
bad men te office is true, and that seme wero
near him may also be true ; but that is Inevi
table. Our Saviour chese twolve friends
anddisciples te aid Him in Ills work, and
ene was a thief and had a devil and betrayed
his Master w lth a kiss. These attacks would
net have been successrul. bocause thinking
poeplo did net in fact beltove thorn then any
mero than they de new.
The attacks upon the administration or
Grant had the Intended effect, by se disgust
ing him with tlie Intrigues of politicians that
he would make no movement in beiialf of
his own candidature, net even te romevo the
cabiuet olllcer who took ndvautage of his
iKKiueii toiuriueruisovvn nomination. And
the country had Haves. Tlie truth is. thorn
never was a drop of "Ciesarlsm" in Grant's
bleed. His patriotism was tee ingrained ;
his leve for Ids country was tee fntonse ; his
admiration of her institutions, which had
brought him from a iioer boy te the preudest
position In the world, and might de se with
another, was tee great; and his glory and
faine were tee sccure for the thought of erect
ing n dospetlsm en tlie ruins of our republic
te have had place in ills mind for a momeut.
He retired Irem tlie unpleasant position of
oxecutive pewer, the details of which te ene
exercising it bocemo nu almost intolerable
annoyance, te take n veyage round tlie
w ei UI, the honored, loted guest, and admira
tion of all nations or the earth.
THK l'ATHUTIO I!N1.
We new ceme te the saddest part of his
life. The fact that en his retirement he had
but a bare compelouco, and that but the re
sult of contributions Dy his friends In ad
miratien or his character nnd deeds, stamps
out the idea-of anyeomiptlen in his methods
or purposes. With a strong dosire te estab
lish his family nfter his death insucli position
that they might net he tompted te any course
whlcli should tarnish his great name nnd
fame ; unused te business metheds and en.
terprises ; trustful te the last degree of theso
who wen his eonlldcnce ; surrounded by
schomers and speculators who brought te
his attention overy posslble speculative busi
ness, Iio was tompted Inte mero than ene on en on
lerprlso with which his friends could well
wish he had net coneeriiod himself In any way.
He was nohettcrbuBluess man after he ceased
te be a seldier and president than he was
before he beg1111 his publlecareer, Weatl'elut
docs net make business men. It sometimes
lenves ene without unmaking hint, but that
Is rare. Grant had lizard fabulous tales of
the rich os which might be made in the bank
ing business in the metropolis of the coun
try. That he evor knew anything nbeut It,
or took nny part in It, is new beyond all cavil
or question. The only two buslness transac
tions that he Is said te have had with It were
te borrow of a frlend n very large sum et
money when the banking concern with
whlcli iie connected hlinseli was entirely rot
ten, and, alter it was evident tliat he was
stripped of overytlilng, te plodge all thnt he
had, the tributary girts or kings and princes,
overy relle and remainder of his great deeds,
ana even me sworn no wero ni .piH)lilrtllex,

HIS 11KI.ATI0NH WITH nUTI.HU.
Boen after, seized witli his ratal disease, he
lived in pain nnd acute misery, ending only
with the last sail hour at peace with Ged
and tlie world.
Fer mero than ten yeais 1 knew Grant the
f;cnorel, nnd Grant the president well and
utimately. Thore was ence n very Btreni:
personal dlfllcully betvvcen us, brought
nbeut by lying statements te each or the net,
motives nnd onlnlens of the ether. I te first
'learned of thelr untruthfulness, and nt his
requesi, comeyou iiireugii a irieuti we mei.
and a few words explained all, njolegleil
for all and healed nil; and that lilemlshlp
inns renewcu nas evor continued.
Thore are some elements or Grant's char
acter, which vvlien mialyed, show at ence
his strength nnd his weakness. He was an
henest man. and in that there was no ele
ment or weakness. Hevvasatrustlng faithful
frlend, nnd nover felt n temptation te de any
thing which could injure a friend, and that
had the element of weakness that ence trust
ing he was tee triistful.aud bad men docelved
htm te his Injury. He was gulleless, and
he bolievod ethers se. He was net revengeful,
hew evor grae the liijuiyerbad the motive
which ion te it no would dismiss me auuier
nsUncloTeboydld the lly. Ills mind was
net inventive, no planned out lew new
things. Hut it was receptive, and gathered
from nil the host things they hud, and the
mind being discriminating, he acted upon
them. When ids mind had thoroughly
digested any preposition and he had adopted
a ceurse te carry It out his will in Hint pin
suit was indomitnhle, and no consideration
tliat did net svvny his Judgment would
change that w ill.
euant's eitiniNAt. .medi: op wAitiwitt:.
It has been said that Grant had no genius;
that Is, no intuition by which todlscevora
great fact or te lay out for himself a new and
great ceurse of action. I have said that his
mind was net Inventive, but 1 de knew-or
ene ceurse or conduct adopted by him, an
emanation rreni his ew h mind, rer se far as I
navereauin uisiery, u was nover lierore In
that form adopted by any great commander,
and It ccrUlnly was net dene by any ether
general In our war. It did net oinanale
from the secretary or war or tlie president, se
far as I have any knovvledgo or suspicion,
and was explained te myself by Grant, who
had Just then been made gcueral-hi-chicf of
the nrmles, aud came te 1'ert Menreo te
explain tlie plan or the luture campaigns
against the enemy, se Tar as I was te have
part with thorn, In Virginia, In April, ISill.
Ills proiKTsltleu was that the enemy should
le conquered by continual attrictieu and In-
llfctlng less In overy way, and wearing out
their resources, as fast as pos.slble, and at
hovvevor great cost, relylng upon our own
mero abundant meney and men te bring out
a successful result. He said that he would
attack the oneuiy at all times' and under all
conditions, even at the risk or losing mero
men than they did, as we could allordte lese
mere; and as the rate of death bydisoaseaud
hardships Incident te camp life was far greater
