Mr. Nash’s ac- count uf l~ioWe's appointment to the Governorship and his death n few mouths later was 'both touching andI pathetic. To conclude in his own words "When Canada has achieved. as it is fast achieving, a recognized place among the nations of the world Joseph l-iowe will occupy a conspicu- ous nlche among tne authors and be- roes of its glory."

The lecture occupied scarcely an

hour in delivery. |

A pleasing fcaturc of the lecture,

was the reading by Mr. Nash of a sonnet to Joseph I-lowe by the late

THESE STAMPS ON THE BACK.

OI"l`A"»\’A, Ont., Dec. 7.-The Post

Oflice Department has issued the fol~ lowing lfotice:

"Tho Post Ofilce' Department hal

for this season agreed to the ipua f Christmas stamps in aid of chari- table institutions. 'runes stamps. however, must he 55941, 0_l,ll¥ al stick- ers on thc backs of letters and other mail matter, and any articles bear- in.; these stamps on the face will be returncd to the senders on the ground.

"First, thnt countries such as Ger-

many, Grcat Britain, and the major portion of the British Colonies re-_ fuse to receive any letters with any, stamps on the face of it other than thc postage stamp of the country oi origin, and if such stamps are plae~ cd on such letters they return them to thc senders through the dead late ter onices of the different countries.

"':lcconu, that no matter bow much tm department may sympathize with the charitable object of the stamps its first duty is to the man who i-ends ‘nc -owe: auf pays Duitago thereon, and xiiiytliing that in likely to lead to confusion or delay should. ns a mattor of good inlth, be prohi- bitcd.

“l<'urtlicrmorc, it has been found in

Canada that several of these letter! have in other years been sent through without postage stamps and have been received with these stumps alone, with thc result that they have been sent to the dead lcttcr office and tho people who placed than stamps on, believing them to be polf tzige stamps, have had their corme pondcnce delayed and dealt with through thc dead letter office. Tha consequence in such cases is that the dcpnrtnn-.nt is seriously b1“m°\.\ lm those whose correspondence is dealt with in this way. _ ‘-

“ln accordance with thill, theta

stumps cnnnot be used on the fem ol correspondence. However, in Vie# 09 the fact that the obiect for which thcse stamps are sold is one lo for thy of sympathy and cncouragomit. thc department has decided B0 elllllf them to be placed on the back of the cnvolupcs as sealers." `
