 One of the rooms of the pos,-office de- partment building. Washington. has re- gently been transformed into A museum for the exhibition of cunosities that have accumulated n the dcad-lctter office. The articles exhibited number several thousands. and embrace everything im- aginable. from postage stamp oi the confederate states to snakes and horned toads A correspondent of the Eresfsg Pcs. has been rummag,ng around m this department and he hnds that among other relics IS record of n :he valuable letters received during the carly days of the postal service m the colonies ot \ orth Amerca. The record is in the hand writing of Benjamin Franklin. and shows during a period of eleven years only sos letters containing valuables were sent to the deAd-letter office. The records oi the department to-day exhibit al glance the enormous difference between the postal service of the present day and of the early days of the country's history.
 The number of letters received at the dead.letter ofhce during the las, year was 4.co- .4oo. or more than it,.ooo each working day. ofthis vas, number, nearly eo.ooo contained money to the aggregate value of S44 GOO; .s.ooo contained checks, drafts and money orders and other papers 10 the total value of about 5 asooooo: while Scooo had inclosures ot postage stamps. This vas, amour, of mall matter was sent to the dcad-let,ef office because three-feufths oi the ad- dresses could not be found. one-eighth were addressed to guests III hotels who had deptfted without leaving addresses nearly }pa ss4 were lrsuitit ientlA prepaid and IL many more were e,thet enormously or improperly .ddtessed Eleven ;hous- and bore no >aa r.pt3nn whatever
