OFFICIAL DIRECTIONS. - Postmaster
Meyers desires US to inform the public
that, for their own convenience. it would
be we'll in sending articles through the
Possofflce to heed the following sug-
gestions: Bandboxes containing the
latest style Of bonnet are not improved
by being shaken up in the mail bags.
All route agents on the railroads make
IL = point OF putting them at the bottom
OF the sack, and p,ling solid and bulky
goods on top. The consequence is that
they arrive IN crushed and dilapidated
condition. and Ha'leck or Myers are I'M
justly suspected of sitting down on them;
therefore it is better to send them by ex.
press. IT, you want to send eggs through
the mail, boil 'em-they stand the jar
better and don't besmear the balance OF
the mail. Silk dresses and preserves
should be forwarded in separate packages;
when they intermix the flavor of the pre-.
serves is spoiled, and it is no improve
ment to the dresses. Live dogs Of over
four pounds weight-there is no rule in
regard to dead ones-are positively for
hidden to pass through tho mails
BY recent order OF the Postmaster
General. If the Postmaster delivers one
Of your "private" letters from your isis
ter" or "mother.in.law," to your wife,
and you suddenly grow bald-headed in
consequence, don't come and fill the Of
fee with "cuss" words. II you expect
such letters, instruct the P. M. before
hand. Last, but not least, hire box,
pay for 1t in advance. and don't tell the
T. M. that he is a falsifier every time you
inquire for letter and fail to get one.
