A MILLION STAMPS.
pro TEE EDITOR OT THE "SPECTATOR."] Sin,—At the village of North Berated, near Bognor, there is an inn in which the parlour is covered all over the walls and ceiling with postage-stamps from all parts of the world, worked out in various designs. The table, the chairs, a hat, and a candlestick are also entirely covered with stamps, and two or three pictures on the walls are executed in the same medium. Besides there are strung across the room festoons of stamps. There is also a summer-house where visitors sit to have their refreshment, and when I visited it five or six years ago this was likewise in process of being covered with stamps. The proprietor explains that it was begun as the result of a wager some years ago, and he also issues a pamphlet setting forth the circumstances. The number of stamps is estimated at two millions.—I am, Sir, &c., J. H. B.
