INSTRUCTIONS.

l.. Seven minutes are allowed for
opening and closing the mails at all off,
ces where no particular time is specified;
but on railroad and steamboat routes
there is to be no more delay than is nec-
essary to deliver and receive the bags.
2. The mail is 10 be conveyed in pref
erence to passengers, and to their entire
exclusion, if its weight and bulk require
it. agG 8
3. Post office blanks, mail bags, and
the special agents of the Department, on
the exhibition of their credentials, are to
conveyed without further charge, on mail
lines admitting of such conveyance.
4. Mail agents are to be conveyed
without charge on the principal railroad
and steamboat lines, where the size of
the mails and the number of the offices
will require their employment by the
and, in that case, seperate
apartment for the asserting and safe
keeping of the mail is to be provided by

of conveyance that is inadequate for The
route in respect to the ceriaintv, security,
and celebrity Of the mails, aside from any
accommodation for travel, it will not be
entitled to the route. g
20. Vixen the bid does not name
mode of conveyance, il will be taken and
understood 10 be for the lowest mode Of
conveyance, to-wit, on horseback
When it proposes to carry according to
the advertisement, and no mode of con-
veyance is stated for the route in the adj
vertisement, it will be conside rod as Of
fering only for horseback conveyance.
81. Since the passage Of the act Of
March 3, lS45, new description of bid
has been received. II specifies no mode
of conveyance, but engages to carry the
mail with certainty, celebrity, and securi.
ty, using the terms Of the law. These
bids are called, from the manner inf
which they are designated on the books
of the Department. "sfar bids" 1t has
been decided, after mature consideration,
that bid proposing specific mode Of
conveyance Of as high grade as two
horse coach transportation is to be pre-
ferred to the star bid. The experience
of the Department enables it to lay down
the following rules, viz:
When the mail on the route is not so
large as to require two horse coach con.
veyance, a star bid, if the lowest, will be
preferred TO the specific bid.
%. When the mails are of such size
and weight as to render it necessary or
expedient, in reference to them alone, to
provide two-horse coach conveyance, the
specific bid, though the highest, will be
preferred to the star bid, to the extent of
moderate difference in the compensa-
lion, in case the difference is not such to
interfere with the policy of the new
law, which looks to reduction in tho
cost of transportation. Exceptions,
however, may be allowed, where the
star bid is made by the present owner OF
the stock on the route, and il is manifest
that the reasons for preferring the specif-
ic bid do not exist in his case.
23. On routes of the highest class,
where four-horse coach or steamboat
transportation is required by the size and
importance of the mails, the preference
for the specific bid will be, il necessary.
carried to greater extent of difference
than on the inferior coach routes, sub.
ject. however, 10 the exceptions above
stated.
"a. A modification of bid, in any of
Its essentiol terms, is tentamount to
new bid, and cannot be received, so as
to interfere with regular competition, af-
ter the last hour set for receiving bids.

Cooper, Miss Lafayette, and Lou
is Napoleon.

Mr.. Willis gives the following anec-
dote obtained in conversation with Fem
more Cooper, the author, illustrative of
the ambition of the present President of
France. The incident occurred in Par
is, in 1892:
was calling upon Lafayette one day
(said Mr.. "copper" and was let in by his
confidential servant, who, it struck me,
showed signs, of having something to
conceal. He said his master was at
home, and, after moments hesitation,
made way for me to go on as usual to
his private room, but / saw there was
some embarrassment, walked in, and
found the General alone. He received
me with the same cordiality as ever, but
enquired with some eagerness who let
me in, and whether met an old acquain-
lance going out. l told him that his old
servant had admitted me, and that there
was something peculiar in the mans
manner; but as had seen no one else, |
knew nothing more. .-
'Ah,' said the General, 'ihat fellow put
him in the side room. Sit down and
will tell you. Prince Louis Napoleon
Bonaparte was here two minutes ago!''
expressed my surprise of course,
for this was in '32, when it was death
for Bonaparte TO enter France.
Yes continued the General, .and he
came with proposition. He wishes to
marry my daughter Clemantine, unife
the republicanisfs and the imperialists,
make himself Emperor, and make my
granddaughter Empress!
And if it be not an indiscreet ques-
ton, | said, what was your answer, my
dear General.
i told him. said Lafayette, that my
family had the American notion on that
subject and chose husbands for them
selves--that there was the young lady
he might go and court her, and if she
liked him, had no objection
Mr.. Cooper did not tell us (for of
course he did not know how the prince
piled his wooing, nor why he failed
The fair Clemanine, who, thus possibly,
lost her chance of being an Empress
married Mons de Beaumont and now
represents her rejected admirer, as the
French embassadress at the court of
Austria. Shortly after this visit to La
fayette, Mr.. Cooper was in London, and
mentioned to the princess Charlotte, (the
widow Of the elder brother, of the pres
ent President Of France this venture of
Prince Louis into tie den of the Or
leanlsts. He is mad = was the only re-
ply. But the finger post, of that way I
madness lies does not always point tru-
ly. At any rate, there is certain, meth
cd in his Madness for the same match
between Imperialism and Republicanism
has beer the Princes pursuit ever since,
and the chances are that he will bring il
about-Clemantines, and other immedi-
ate unbelicyers, Notwithstanding.

POetical.
From Tait's Edinburgh Magazine.
CHANGE.

From Tait's Edinburgh Magazine.
CHANGE. .....
Change! Change! The mournful story
OF all that's gone before,
The wrecks of persisted glory,
Bestrewing every shore;
The shattered tower and palace
Tha, frowned Ger every glen,
In broken language tells US
The fleeing power Of men.
Change! Change! The y,he is sweeping
Ger many cottage hearth,
The sicled hand is reaping
Ger scenes of household mir,h;
The sheaf is bound where daughters
Round their mothers used to spin.
And where little feet did patter
Full often out and in.
Change! Change! Forallthings human
Kingdoms, States of ample wing,
Have their fight and fall in common
With the meanest mortal thing il
With Beauty, Love and passion;
With all of earthly trust;
With life's smallest wavelet rushing,
Curling, breaking into dust!
Where arose in marbled grandeur
The walled cities of the Past,
The sullen winds now wander
Ger ruined-huddled waste;
Rent is the palace splendid;
The owl, in silence, wings
Der the floors where, aye attended,
Paced the sandaled feet of Kings.
Still change! Go then, and view
All desolate and sunk,
The circle of the Druid,
The cloister of the monk.
The abbey, bold and squalid;
With its grass-maned. staggering wall;
Ask BY whom these were unhallowed--
Twas change that did it all.
But Mind, the everything,
From Times succeeding birth,
Will receive some more of Heaven,
Will receive some less of Earth
More of Truth and less of Error,
Less Of Hate and more of Love;
Till the world below shall mirror
All the purity above.
