leltunfastened. The case was received
and delivered in good order, and there
was no evidence OF vandalism or rough

The Southern Express Company's Office
was almost blockaded yesterday by
wagons backed up around it on all sides.
All day the wagons kept going and
oming, one set disgorging packages into

Mr. Cooper, the local SUPERINTENDENT.
said thar the rush is equal to IL not be-
yond anything in past seasons. He
looked as though he might have been
working straight ahead for week with
out stop. The greater part CT the force
have been compelled TO work until late at
night TO keep up with the business.
Mr.. Cooper told story about a driver
who was hired on Thursday. The driver
did not get his breakfast before he went
TO work, as he trusted to getting a few
minutes OF during the morning. He took
the precaution, however, to send for a
beefsteak. Al night he drove into the
stable, handed the steak to darby and
remarked that he had rather sleep than
eat. He had not had a chance to get
breakfast, dinner or supper. and was too
tired TO eat.

The Way the Postmen Have a
Merry Christmas.
The letter carriers lot never is happy
one, aud during the holidays it is about
as unenviable a position as any in the
governments gi9. a carrier remarked
last night that his arms ached from the
lips of his fingers TO his neck. The collec-
tions were heavy, but not near so heavy
as the deliveries. A package OF any size
will not 20 in the hole III letter box and
all bulky presents are sent direct TO the
post Office for mailing. For that the car
riers are duly grateful. They catch it,
however, in delivering the postal matter.
Yesterday they labored along under great
loads 1ef letters, CHRISTMAS cards, and
packages of an Infinite variety OF shapes
and sizes.
Mr.. William Coolidge, superintendent
of the carriers, said that he did not think
there was 80 many cards as last year, but
there appeared to be more packages. AS
usual there were letters and other matter
not properly addressed. One package
had nothing but six &c. stamps on it..
There was not q single letter indicating
who the parcel was for or where IL was to
go. AS 1t was not sealed, but tied with a
piece of thread, 1T was opened and found
to contain box OF cigars with this writ
ten on the Id: compliments oil george
to William" The party for whom the
box was intended stands a very poor
show of smoking any OF the cigars to-day.
If the sender will go down to the Office
and put some address on the package it
will be forwarded.
The money order and registered letter
departments were busy all day issuing
and paying and the clerks were kept at
work late at night checking up.
This morning the carriers will make
one delivery. The general delivery will
be open from O'Clock until 10. The spe-
cial delivery boy will be on duty in the

A Gold Wave Hurrying to Get Here,
But is Not Likely To.
Christmas day will be a cold one away
up in the North and Northwest, but prom
ises to be pleasant enough here. The

Duluth, Mimi, and ) below at st Paul.
At O'Clock yesterday morning the
Signal Bureau here received orders to
hoist the cold wave flag, that there would
be a tall OF Is to 20 dogs. in temperature
in the next twenty-fOur to forty-elgnt

will be greatly broken before IL arrives.

degs. above zero, and at Louisville IL was
30 dogs. above. The wave has reached
Tennessee, but is no way severe. Nor is
