CuriOsities of a POstOffice Report.

The annual report of the Postmaster
General might seem, at first sight, to be a
dry document, because it bristles with
figures. But in reality the report which
has just been published, is an amusing
picture of the folly of the forgetfulness,
the ignorance and the frivolity which must
fill large place in the life OF every nation,
as well as of the qualities which give a
nation dignity stability and wealth
We might reasonably think, for example,
that mercantile men would seldom or never
neglect to address letters containing either
money or the equivalent of it, yet 500 in
cash and bank notes, and nearly GO. 900 in
checks were found in blank envelopes.
Other instances of carelessness are only
one degree less heinous. An unregistered
letter was recently received at Liverpool in
very thin cover bearing an almost ilegible
address, and was delivered to a firm to
whom it was supposed to be directed. On
being opened, the letter and its enclosures,
five 600 notes, were found to be intended
for another firm, to whom they were
eventually delivered.
Sometimes, on the other hand, letters
go astray because the writers repose an
absolutely sublime trust in the sagacity OF
officials The following is a copy of the
address of letter which also reached Liv.
erpool, the names of persons and places
being here omitted: This letter is fol
Liverpool. From her father, John,
tailor from; he would be thankful tc
some Postmaster in Liverpool if he would
find her out. > The address, unfortunately,
could not be found, and the letters were
sent to the Return Letter Office.
Not the least interesting part Of the re
port is the illustration of the multitude of
uses to which the mail bags would be pu,
if check were not placed on eccentlicity:
" The Postoifice,' we are told. while full
filling its first duty to the public by afford
ing means for the rapid transmission OF
correspondence, is also made the vehicle OF
conveyance for small articles of almost
endless variety. OF these, the following
were observed passing through the post
during the year, viz; Silkworms and gen
ties; flowers, fruits and vegetables various
kinds OF game; wearing apparel; models
Of metal fittings aud toys; leeches, siails,
eggs, six white MICE a sparrow two snakee.
cray fish and dog. Several of these,
being prohibited articles, We're sent to the
Returned Letter Office. The dog was
posted at the Lombard street office, and,
having fallen into the bag affixed to the
letter box was not discovered until the
