TIE posToFFICE

1t would seem to an ordinary mortal that
ono man is hardly enough to sort all the mail
that comes to the Alexandria postoffico and
attend the general delivery and other win
dows at the same time, and that when one
man goes oif to his meals there should be
somebody there to serve the patrons of the OIL
fee. 1t might be added that Monday morn
ing is rather distant from the hour of closing
on Sunday $3.50 a. m }, and those who sub
scribe to a paper printed beyond Washington,
OF south of here do not care to look through
the glas. darby and swear at seeiDg it spend
ing the day on tho table This is repeatedly
the way, and it matters not whether the pa.
tron be box holder or not, and if he is, and
his box is on the east of the general delivery,
whatever that comes has to wait mighty
long time to get into it Indeed. the postal
service here could be greatly and easily i'm.
proved, and unless it ia, not even the civil
service humbug will hold down any OF the
mslefactors there.
