The Instructions Issued by the Postmaster gen
eral On the Subject.
Postmaster General Villas has completed
arrangements for the establishment of the
special delivery OF letters authorized by the
last Congress at six hundred and thirty post
offices and issued cirular letter of instruc-
tons to postmasters to govern this new fea-
ture of the postal service. The new system
Will go into operation on the first of October
The law authorized its introduction at the
discretion OF the postmaster general in all
places containing more than 4,O00in inhabitants
When the postmaster general first directed
his attention to the matter, he thought il best
to introduce the system in only a few of the
larger cities; but finally determined TO in
troduce il in all the places allowed by law.
by placing the special ten cent stamp on n
letter, I'm addition to the regular postage, il
will be delivered at once by special carrier,
upon its arrival at the Office of destination.
anywhere within the carrier limits of tree
delivery Office, or within one mile ofthe post
Office at other than free delivery offices,
which are designated rs special delivery
offices. Drop or local letters bearing the
special delivery stamp will also be delivered
by special carriers. Theinstructions authorize
the employment of messenger boys to per-
form the special delivery service at salaries
not to exceed $50 per month. Substitute
letter-carriers may also be utilized as mes
sengers. The circular gives very minute in
structions and many suggestions respecting
the Introduction of ii at each office. In con-
cluding his circular Mr.. Villas says
"You are urgently enjoined to give your
best judgment and diligent attention to this
system ofspecial delivery now sought to be
established by the government IT is an OBJ
Ject OF great importance and general desire
that the system should prove of high public
utility. Although the ends sought by it are
OF unquestionable, value the system intro
duced is necessarily an experiment, and its
success depends largely upon the postmaster,
and its success or failure in any locality will
indicate the postmaster's official value. Two
objects must be particularly ami strenuously

service and, second, to bring the service up
