a H.n Post Omce.


Four hundred thousand letters
were sent to the dead letter Office
last year, because they were put In
the mail without stamps. If every
one used the government stamped
envelopes a good many missing let
tiers would be accounted for.
A good joke on the post Office de-
partment.-A postmaster In Cali
fornia sent So in nickels TO Treas
hrer New, and put a three cent
stamp on the package. The postage
due on the package was 50 SO, which
was deducted from the $25. That
postmaster isn't going to play that
Joke any more, however.
Thirty-six postmssters have re-
Gently been dismissed for selling
stamps outside the delivery of their
offices.
A few weeks since, in the New
W rk post office, there were, besides
over one hundred misdirected let
tiers, ten bank letters, all of which
q 'nt4ined valuable drafts, and were
either misdirected or had insult
cient direction.
One-eighth of the entire mail mat
ter of the country originates in New
York city. There is sent out from
there o: mail originating in that
city 226 sacks for Wisconsin, 2, 100
for New York state, 200 for Michi-
gan, 200 for Chicago, $50 for Iowa,
90 for Nebraska. $50 for California,
200 for Union Pacific distribution,
100 for Illinois, l7J for Ohio, and
l20 for Indiana, each week.
The cost Of transportation for ev-
try pound OF mail matter between
Nrw York and San Francisco is
about 2S cents, exclusive of hand
ling ON the trains and trans.ship-
ment from one route To another; so
that for every pound Of newspapers
that go over the whole distance
