NEW POSTAL ORDER.
EXTRACT FROM CIRCULAR FROM THE FIRST
ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL-DEJTy-
ERY OF MAIL TO PRIVATE MESSENGER.
CIRCULAR no. 100.
Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT,

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, I
WASHINGTON, d. G., April B, 1882. {
The department has been advised that
various persons are proposing to employ
messengers to call at the post office for
their mail, to give orders on the postmaster
for the delivery Of the same to the bearer of
the order.
Postmastcrs, therefore, are advised that
where application is made to them for the
delivery of letters addressed to others than
the parties claiming such delivery, and il is
evidently the purpose of the parties max
lag the application to make distribution of
the mail matte. in boxes provided at their
private Office, the delivery should be re-
fused, except of letters addressed to the per-
son making the application.
Where the application, however, is not
made for this purpose, but to serve the con-
venience of the persons giving the order,
postmasters should treat the messenger as
one caller representing for the time being
the first name on the list and wait on him
delivering any matter addressed to this
name, and should then wait upon the next
person, if there be any there present, de-
msnding mail. After supplying all present
in their order, he should return to the mes
senger delivering mail addressed to the
next rame on the list, attending then to
other applicants, if present, and proceed
accordingly until his delivery is complete.
Postmasters are forbidden to keep gener-
al callers waiting in order to pick out the
mail for an indefinite number of persons
upon the application Of the agent enjoyed
by them. Persons giving such an order
should be served in the same manner as
they would be if they were to call in per
son.
Postmasters are also forbidden to pick
out the mail addressed to persons thus repre-
sented, or to put it in separate receptacle,
as this would be giving an undue advan'
tage to such person
Postmasters should put the mail of box.
holders in their boxes, and all other persons
in the general delivery, In accordance with
Section 392, Postal Laws and Regulations,
viz; Each box must be restricted to the
use of one family, firm or corporation.
The genuineness Of all orders for delivery
must be ascertained and the orders filed for
preservation.

MUST THE SISTERS Cor

A petion, the substance of which is to
expel from this city the good Sisters Of the
hospital, has been industriously circulated
with zeal worthy Of nobler cause, for the
signatures of our citizens. This rash, IN
just, uncharitable and seemingly malevo.
lent action is calculated to disturb that
peace and harmony which hitherto reigned
in this community between people of every
class, creed and nationality. Experience is
the best teacher and experience should
have taught our soi.disant philanthropsts
that the Sisters hospital here, including
the marine hospital station, has been pro-
ductive, not of evil, but of greater good
than it could be expected of worldly
minded people to comprehend or appreciate.
When, or in what manner, have the Sisters
or their hospital proved injurious TO the
welfare Of society Never in any way.
Never has case of contagious disease
spread from the hospital The main
building in their large plot of ground is in
a comparatively isolated position, being far
removed from the public street and farther
from the public school houses and the
church. The other building, in which
are Quarantined contagious cases sent there,
occasionally, by the government aud the
city, is still farther back toward the unin-
habited commons.
To oxemplify: The families on'either
side OF the hospital, and who live in closest
proximity to it, wholly escaped smallpox
this year, whilst stray cases of it could be
found all over the rest of the city. This
instance is of kind with all previous ones,
which shows, conclusively, that no danger
is TO be dreaded from the position of the
hosital. But some, for want of argument,
may urge that the danger lies, principally,
in mariners, afflicted with contagious dis
eases, passing through populous parts of
the city on their way to the marine hos
pital station, The same objection holds
good Of similar patients sent TO the pest
house from the lower portions Of the city.
Besides the Sisters contract with the gov
eminent does not oblige them to receive
contagious cases
The only profit they derive from their as
siduous hard labor Genes from tho govern
ment, and to deprive them of that is to
deprive them of their only means of sub
sistence horc, and to deprive them Of this
is to starvo them or force them to leave the
city,
All who signed the petition claim to be
friendly to the Sisters and most of them
signed through thoughtlessness, or because
they were misinformed as to the true ma
ture of the case. Now, gentlemen, you
say you had no intention to hurt the Sis
tors; but the Sister Superior told me that
everyone who signed that petition did
them a great injury" If you were their
friends, why did you not consult with
them before you signed9 OF course, it is
still possible for you to demand the erasure
of your names and sign the contra petition.
Otherwise your friendship must be likened
to that Of Jldas who betrayed our Lord
| with kiss. These Sisters ask nothing Of
