(Joiii'rul, has rwently nitrotlucca an un-',
provemcnt in tho postage stamps, which
adds greatly lo their public convenience,
lie has had them prepared on shoots with
perforations around tho borders of each
btnmp, so that they can bo sepcratcd, ono
from tho other, w ihout using a knife or a
pair of scissors. Jlcsidcs tho saving of limo
in this improvement, there is greater so
entity that tho tdmnp will adhere to tho
loiter, for the points or rough edge loft by
the perforations will rtick better to the
letter, there being none of tho risk of tho
edge turning up when it ii continuous. ;
This plan of perfuming' letter stamps
is practiced iu Pairope, Bnl Mr. Campbell
had tho contrai trr to procure a machine
from that country for. use hero. ,The con
tract is made with Toppan, Carpenter &
Co., of Philadelphia, nnd in. addition to a
supply for Philadelphia, tho stamps have
already been sent to New York, Doston
lialtimorc, Cinciuuaii, St. Louis, New
Orleans, Chicago aud Albany.
Th" amount ot letter writing in the Un
ilud Stafs may be inferred from the num.
her of postago stamps used. The number
sold by the government last year, reached
nearly one hundred and fifty millions of
