quietly tested and not found wanting.
just as soon as manufactured, they will
be placed at work throughout the
country, and the postofflces discontinued
as fast as possible. The States will be
divided into circuits. The postoffice
wagon plying upon each will be quarter
ed over night at railroad town. 1t will
wait here for the incoming early morn

for the circuit. 1t will then set out i'm
