4 WORD TO POSTMASTER BRADY.-We
hear many complaints among the people in regard
to the Inequality and uncertainty of deliveries BY
the City Carriers II seems that in some instances
they have district much larger than any one man
can serve and in order 10 grasp the whole OF it and
make eight ten dollars per day they set their Boys
at woIk to help them out Oae little fellow the other
day, moved by the strong temptation OF fun, laid
down the United States Man and went IN for regu-
lar snow balling SPREE Being a little worsted, he
got his dander up aud told of his customers that
he should rot fetch him any letters because his
boy, had snow-balled him the little mail boy) We
believe the hopeful little fellow was discharged in
stead Of his father Last week at 10 A. VI on Monday
we put tote in the Pos. Office to 90 far Twenti
eth-st 1t reached it's destination the next day, at
o'clock p. NJ, having been 80 hours on the way.
There should be thorough reform in this branch OF
the Post-Of but II will never be done so long as
the carriers are allowed to defy their Superintepd
ent and have everything their own way. The City
will never be decenty served until there as
many again carriers, and every one OF them made to
fulfill his duty. As things now go one might better
live in Philadelphia than in the regions above
Bletcker.st so far as correspondence from the Cen
Post Office is concerned.
0pERA PRospEcrs Last spIiHg we ad-
vocated cheap opera. We endeavored to SHOW
Why any hope OF operate success in this coul.ry
with aTistoerscy or Government subVentien, nlst
be based upon the democratic that is the cheap prn
ciple. The experiment az Pamo's com nenced, and
that of Aston Place has concluded the proof OF his
statement. And on the other hand the proofs found
in the crowded and enthusiastic audiences at NioD's
and Aston Place, under the fifty cen. system. We
learn that Mr.. NIBLo at least considers it proved
and with the advice of skillful architects will en-
large his thester iIto an opera-house, OF sizs sd
cient 10 accommodate five or SIX thousand persons
In the spring he will sail for Europe and conclude
engasemeu,s with the best artists for the following
season. We trust that this is really So and that Mr.
Nblo Will understand the fact which other managers
among have perpetualy forgotten, namely, that
II is very well known in New-York vho the really
great artists are. We know, for example, that
Grsi, Aboni, Crapsi Mario Sfa,digl and others are
6Tstrs;e artists and We know equally well that
Forentsi Ida BsrtraaG ard others are not hrstrate
nor so considered With the coming In Of To. cheap
opera, this adjoining OF obscurity with haloes of
fame, should 20 out IL is foolish 70 blow the same
blast before every conner, for the habit defeats
it's own purpose We feel confident that Mr.. N.blo
is as sure OF this are ourselves la any case,
We must congratulate ourselves upon The prospect
Of an opera which promises permsDencs II il is
not toe late to try operate experiments /. is 100
early te build opera house large, che ap house
with the best possible orchestra ard artists, are he
secrets Of operate success in NeE-York.
