AN INTERESTING POSTAGE STAMP. The Princess of Wales has-had a singular distinction paid her by England's oldest colony. On the first day of August Newfoundland issued a new three-cent stamp, which bears the effigy of her Royal Highness. The likeness is unmistakable, and as it is the first time the Princess of Wales has been portrayed on a postage stamp every collector in the British Empire must secure this addition for his album. It is the third of a series of Royal portraits to appear on the stamps of Newfoundland. The first two, the one-cent stamp with her Majesty's portrait, and the two-cent with that of the Prince of Wales, were issued in November last. The next will be a half-cent stamp with Prince Edward of York, and about the end of this year or the beginning of next a five-cent stamp will appear with the. Duke of York's portrait.
