THE use of Postage stamps was first authorized by aot of Congress approved March 8, 1847, and the issue of 5's and Io's began on the 1st July following. Pre- vious to this date postage was collected in money on each letter, prepayment being optional in all cases.
The 1847 and 1861 stamps are obsolete as well as all issued prior to 1861. A new series of stamps was issued in 1861, and another in 1869, both of which have given place to the present issue adopted in 1870.
The denominations and descriptions of the present series of ordinary stamps are as follows :-
1 cent-FRANKLIN; profile bust; ultramarine blue.
2 cents-WASHINGTON: profile bust; carmine.
8 cents-JACKSON; profile bust; purple. 4 cents-LINCOLN; & face; velvet brown. 5 cents- GRANT, { face ; light brown.
6 cents-GARFIELD, i face; light maroon.
10 cents-WEBSTER, & face; milori green. 15 cents-CLAY, & face; deep blue 50 cents-JEFFERSON; profile bust; orange.
100 cents-O. H. PERRY; profile bust; black. 200 cents-MADISON ; sapphire blue. 500 cents-MARSHALL ; gray green.
The newspaper and periodical stamps of 1874 can be used only by publishers and news agents for matter mailed in bulk.

These cards cost the government 46 cents per thousand, and 850,000,000 are used annually. Also, a 2 cents card, called " Interna- tional," for messages to countries within the Universal Postal Union. In July, 1891, a new design for Postal Cards was issued.

S" in small white shields; around the oval is an oblong tablet of complex character.
In 1792 was the first postage law and fixed rates. There were then no envelopes. Each sheet of letter paper was so folded as to be its own envelope. A sin- gle sheet was sent 80 miles or less for 6 cents; all ad- ditional pieces enclosed an additional rate; 60 miles $ cents; 100 miles 10 cents, and so on; over 450 miles 25 cents; changes were occasionally made that increas- ed rates. In 1845 the rates were reduced to 5 cents for distances of 800 miles or less and 10 cents for greater distances. In 1851 prepayment 8 cents under 8000 miles and 5 cents when not prepaid-double rates for longer distances. In 1855 was first adopted compulsory prepayment and put at 8 cents for less than 8000 miles and 10 cents for greater distances. In 1868 the uniforme prepaid rate of 8 cents for any distance in this country was adopted. Oct. 1, 1888, the rate on letters was re- duced to 2 cents for each half ounce. July 1, 1885, the rate on letters was made 2 cents per OUNCE
