THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE.
The Present system-A Museum 10 the
Average Observer.

Among the many places Of interest to
be visited in Washington, perhaps there
is no other that is so absorbingly inter-
esting to the great mass Of visitors as
the Dead Letter Office and the museum
connected with it. There is nothing to
be seen here but every one is capable Of
understanding and appreciating. Just
inside the large hall space is rallied off.
where visitors may stand and observe
at their leisare the work that is going
on so busily. Over $4,000 letters day
to be examined, assorted and disposed
of What large corps of clerks is
needed for the work, and how quickly,
skifully and mechanically it goes on
In the first room the letters are opened
and assorted, those containing money
or articles of value going one way and
all the others going another. A simple
motion Sits open an envelope with un
erring precision. The letter is with.
drawn, unfolded, folded, replaced.
The next letter the same. How fast
the heaps of the examined letters grow,
but the work does not end, for the sup.
ply is never exhausted, but is constant
ly replenished as the letters are passed
on. Here, as in many other depart.

weeks behind time. and fresh appropri.
ations are needed for more workers.
The opened letters containing inclos.
urea Of value are restored to the send
ers when practicable, otherwise they
are recorded and filed away, and may
be reclaimed at any time. Other let
ters are not recorded. They are re
turned to the writers, if possible, and
when the writer's can not be found, the
letters are destroyed. In the year
1884, more than 1900 letters con-
tanned money, amounting to nearly
S34, 900. Some 1000 letters contained
drafts, checks, money orders, etc., to
the value of more than 81, 800, 900.
Some idea OF the growth of the postal
service in the United States for GEN.
tury may Se formed when we consider
10 this coat ection the statement, quot.
ed from a postal report in 1888, that
1865 valuable letters have accumulated
10 the department since l777." Many
thousand letters are received annually
containing photographs, postage stamps
and articles of merchandise. Thou
sands of letters are deposited yearly 10
the Postotiice bearing uo superscription
whatever, and all such of course are
forwarded TO the Dead Letter Office for
examination. Easter cards and Christ
