(From the St to York Star.) "The most trouble onie ofi'ondors against governinoul laws uro Ibo ex ports who uso canceled postage stamps," said a postofflco oiUoial thoothorday. ..They have a system of washing out tho cancellation marks that is so suc cessful as to make dotoolloii almost impossible bl tho offices Of large eil ies Uko New York and Chicago, where so many letters are handled daily, and ?where rapidity is thc most desirable feature, it is impossible for the men who cancel -tamps lo examine each one carefully. Then, too, a groat deal of the win k is done by gaslight, and this is a point which tends to aid the conspirator against the government's income. "Any one who has seen a postofliec employ? in tho New York ellice grab ti bunnie of lettCl*8 lind cancel tho stamps with lightning-like rapidity can read ily seo bow impossible it is for him to detect bad stamps unless they are par ticularly bail. The ne n enyagod iii the business of using unneeded stamps aro extremely clever. They have un acid in which ihov wash the-lamp-. The acid nets upou the cancellation marks, nod not upon thc colors of the stamp.

"Another clever nick that is em ployed is the cutting of stamps. Often ju the burry of postoflico work tho cancellation mark does not cover tlio stamp, but falls only upon one corner, the rest going upon the envelope. Thc operator takes a -lanni that has a black murk, say upon the loll band lower corner Ile carefully cuts a square piece out <>f that corner, making it large enough to cut away all of the canceled portion. Ile then -cctires a stamp on which the cancellation mark bas fallen in some other conloi*. Ile carefully cuts out the same sized square from the lower left hand corner of tile stain}), and joining it with tia- llrsl stamp be has a whole stump upon Which there aro no cancellation marks. These stamps are used upon packages which are tied with a string, and the String is ingeniously placed over (In cut stamps. "Toko any package of a do/.eii let ters and you will see how nev il i- to find stamps for this business.'' As bc spoke the official drew from bis pocket a bundle of half a dozen letter-. Upon thc first letter the cancellation mark ?was only upon the lower rigid corner of tho stamp. Thc second was can celed completely, and the third Was marked only upon the upper left baud corner. 45o -l combination could have been easily made willi thc -lamp- upon thc first aiid third letters. "Many of llics? Operators," con tinued the officiai, "grow expert in tho Work.

What do they do with thc workcd-ovcr stamps? Thc) do not sell them, a u any BUppose, ami that fuel rendors detection more difficult.
