PO3 ! OFkIgE DEP ARTMFNT


 Baltimore, December 7.-The report of the Postmaster General IS published in the dlobe of this morning. As we are not able to make room for it at large to-day, and its appearance has been looked for with some interest this year, we have prepared the following abstract, embracing the explana- ton of the "llusory statements'' mention- ed III the Presidents Message, and con taining all that is necessary to shew the actual condition of the Department.
 The annual amount of the transportation of the mail on the lst July, 1853, was 26. .S54 ,4S5 miles-of which the amount of ls,322, ,576 was in steam-boats and sta- ges, and s,53l,909 on horse back and in sulkies. The whole amount, as may he supposed. is distributed among the differ ent States and Territories, very nearly or quite in proportion to their respective popu- iation.
 The whole leneth of the mai, ro,,ie in the United States amounts now to ll9 .916 miles, which is apportioned in like manner. The number of post-oifices in the Uni ted States on the lst July, 1882. was l0,l27.
 The increase of the annual transporta- ton of the mail within the four years end ing the 39th June, 1853, Is i3.l54.4s5 miles, nearly equal to the whole amount af Transportation in 1929.
 The increase of the annual amount of postages within the same period, $ao9, ll9- s9' and the whole amount is more than the double of what 1t was in 1925.
 The average expense of transaortino ,be mail in 1929, was eight cents and tour- tenths of cent per mile. It Is now r egnts o7loo, making difference for the whole service equal to S222 ,se2 D ner year less, in proportion to the service her. |

great number of storks throughout the country.
They serve as scavengers and are preserved
with great care by means of municipal regu-
lations, as well as a kind of supersttious regard
entertained for them by the peasantry.-The
road from Rotterdam to Deli runs along the
banks of the canal. The outre appearance of
the rope harness, the clumsy carriages, in form
resembling those of our own country, but made
in the fashions which prevailed among US twen-
ty years ago, excited no little interest, and we
certainly could not withhold our surprise when
We saw military officers, evidently of respecta-
BILE rank, with pipes putting the smoke from their
mustaches while making an afternoon excur-
sion. :.
We became aware of our entrance to Delft
only by the greater compactncss of suburbs,
which had extended for miles. Splendid villas
and pavilons became more frequent. Atlength
we passed the arsenals, very ancient edihces,
bearing the arms of the Netherlands and mot
tos which we could not translate. Delft, al.
though town of only $4,000 inhabitants, is no
unimportant place. itderives no mean distinc-
ton from being the birth place Grotius and the
burying place of the family of the Prince Of
Orange In one of the antique churches is the
maus0leum of William of Nassau, the Liberia
tor of Holland. He is represented lying upon
the monument with his dog at his feet
In the same Church is the tomb of Grotius; and
in another church is that Of the brave Admiral
van Iromp. One OF the steepieS was pointeu
to us, affording from its tower fine view of the
country. Such views are exceedingly rare in
Holland, and therefore must be very gratifying
to those who have the enterprise to climb towers
and windmls to obtain them. Thus far we
have not seen even hiock. All is one dead
level as far as the eye can reach, and the
fields are principally occupied as pastur-
ages. In every direction the country is intersect-
ed by canals, the banks of which are elevated
so as to prevent foundations These canals have
no other locks than guard locks, and the water
being constantly flowing into the ocean, the ca
mails are kept perfectly clean and wholesome.
