THE simplest postolice in the world is in
Magellan Straits, and has been established
there for some years past. 1t consists of a
small cask, which is chained to the rock Of the
extreme cape of the Straits, opposite to Terra
del Fuego. Each passing ship sends boat
to open the cask and to take letters out and
place others in it. The postoffice is self-acting
therefore: it is under the protection of the
nayies of all nations, and up to the present
time there is not one case to report in which
any abuse of the privileges it affords has taken
place.
In speaking Of the promptness and ready
action of the police officials, we take pleasure
in recording fact which came to our personal
notice. A householder in the city went to the
police station on Wednesday forenoon and ex-
planned to the Marshal that he had good rea-
son for suspecting the existence Of concealed
smallpox in a certain neighborhood. Not
the press of work, that neigh
borhood was thoroughly examined by the
Marshal in person within the next two hours,
and the suspicion happily proved to be un-
founded.
