-AChange in the carrier system in the Phil-

l'osT-OPiqcE, Putt,A_nEtrritA, PA., Oct.

~..'that there are 'located in the several sections of.
'ibe built-up portions of this city fire laat ~ ee sub
PO , st-offices, to wit : Stations A, B, C, D,and
K AL:Which there are employed the following
force, of clerks - in& carriers , and in - addition
there is a yearly expenditure of, the following
moneys for the maintenance of said stations:

... hererorebefore the manY
f
acilifies of the
, preseitclirler system had been
given •to the
i`l-;: .- public..
/fi- From the data which I have carefully 01.-
j - 14.• , joted, I am prepared to state that these stations
gli t if tire no longer useful.

therefore; of the submitted condi
tion the,Stations as being no longer of gene
,
itnifile-henefiti-tOgethetwith thelacilities of
the carrier s'meiu as Worked under my instrue
?'.llo.fiS, I would recommend 'the closing of the
five aforesaid stations, and the' transfer of the
carriers ethployed at said stations to the, central
office.' •
.! . .1:, - nder the present system of stations, a let,
Mailed at one section of the city, addressed
boo another section, if deposited in a street box,
• Must first be collected and handled by the car
rier on the route, then handled by the superin
tendent of the station, transmitted to the
cen
tial office, handled by the distribution clerk,
then' rammitted to the superintendent of the
station, cased by said superintendent, and then
delivered by the carrier. Five distinct parties
therefore handle one letter going from one ex- •
treine section of the city to another extreme,
section. 13y consolidation of stations with the
:central ate but three men would handle the
same, letter—the carrier who collects, the easer
' who distributes, and the carrier who delivers.
Therefore, forty per cent. of possible dishonesty
is saved . ; forty per cent. of possibility of error
is saved; an immediate correction of error in
casing is secured, and therimpossibility of ever
losing the delivery of a letter upon the next de
livery following.its arrival in the office. •
. I canna- clearly Calculate the amount of ex- .
pedition that will be obtained by consolidation;
at least; however, from three-quarters to one
hour in each delivery.
In addition to the benefits subtaitted, I will
have the great body of the carrier force under
my own immediate supervision, subject to the
discipline and,watchfulness that are common
to the central office.
EffeCting the change as I • recommend, the
present carrier system will have in a degree far
beyond the possibility under its present organ
iiation, all the elements that go towards the
perfecting of the carrier service. Security,
honesty, celerity, an absence of error to a very
great degree, an immediate correction, should
errors occur, and thorough discipline.
You will he pleased to observe that the total'
expense of the five stations I have submitted
amounts to $15,530. To carry out the plan
proposed, this amonat of money must be, ex
pended in carrierr car-fare at the rate and
• figures following :
fi men will make 2 trips. •
12 men will make' 3 trips.
Q men will make 4 trips.
16 men will make 41 trips.
45 men will make 51 trips.
Making, in all 3911 trips per day (a trip being
to and from the (Mice), at 121 cents per trip,
for 313 days; 40 trips (Sundays), at 121 cents
per trip, for 52 days ; all of which amount to,
4§ per sti‘temeut below :
3911 trips per day, at 121,cents, $48.931..
For 513 days • . . .$15,29'7 43
For 52 days . . • . 200 00
$15,557. 43
I endeavored some months since to secure
from our city passenger railroads a reduction
of fare, should the department see proper to
accept my plan and permit the carrier force to
ride. The inclosed letters exhibit my failure
to secure the reduction .
In the peculiar local working of my propo
sition there are many details which I would
carefully carry out, in order that I might bring
the system as near perfection as possible, and
which I consider unnecessary to submit in this
letter.
- I have. given careful and particular thought
to the snbject of local mail delivery, and fe9l
-weltassured.in_my own mind
• that the present
system, as worked, can be improved, and that
my plan of operation will improve the system
more than any other plan which embraces no
increase qf force or increase of expenditure.
I feel well convinced that the public will ap
preciate my plan for the reorganization of the
service as happily. applicable .to this city :with
its vast local railway conveniences, because it
will bring to the body of the community greater
mail. facilities. The revenues of your depart
ment will be immediately increased from local
postages. and by no means least to my mlnd,
in the consideration of the change, is the fact
that a large part of the faithful, hard-working
carrier force will be rclieved to a certain extent
„i.,.„ of a labor which at times is most severe, and
• •• • which I sometimes, think tends to develop and
haSten hidden constitutional diseases, resulting
• ~ iu a prostration that unfits the faithful servant
for the severe physicaVlab-ors-vNife-thatras-a

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

:-On the sth of June last, General Bingham
addressed a letter to the Board of Presidents

of the Passenger Railways, informing them of

his purpose to arfange the ocal mail deliveries
: throughout the built portion of the city, and
. 1 ' requesting that the carriers who would be re-
Oiled to ride should have the privilege of
F„,, , riding free.

this because I feel that m a
great benefit
will accrue to the general public by the success

The railroad companies of Boston convey
'the letter carriers to all sections of that city

fare of three cents.

—The Academy . bt Music • was. well filled':
last evening, with an : audience assembled to
listen to Miss Logan, deliver 'a lecture
_upon
"Girls." After the :Performance - of several
musical selections by Mr. Sentz's '"4arlor
chestra," the lecturer adVanced and spoke :as'
follows: -- She began With the statement that in.
selecting the subjects of her lectures she ha&
not so much tried to find a PoPular, topic' as
one upon which she was thoroughly at honie.,
In one, case she had spoken :altogether of the, •
theatre for that reason, though the subject in
terested few; in another instance she had
talked about "Paris," ;although as a topic it
was open to the same 'objection.; and now;
she said, "I undertake to lecture upon girls;
because I am thoroughly acquainted • with,
them." "Girls," she said, ."are my admira
tion and my sorrow, my delight and my de
spair ; - and in nothing do Ptake so deep an in
terest. And I was a girl' once Myself.' - And
here her fornier difficulty • ditappeared; for
everybody is interested in girls, not ,only, but
especially the old bachelors, who affect inffiffeil.
ence, but .who; iii fact, when they -look upon
gidis; are irresistibly occupied with the thought
that- "it - might have been. And for these there
was comfort iu the old ,adage.that "it is' never
too late to mend." ,Girls were to' •be
divided in:. ,the first 'place into : the
two grand .ffivisions _"little "
and "big girls." Little - girls 4 ,were. , .usually
leered as tender flowers, as clinging vines—to
ITO narnlicr
se sweet womanly
meant biglabies. Girls'are not allow - ed.te
'velop themselves phy - srealVtlifough - fearof - ther
epithet "tomboy, while their brothels' are
taught: the very reverse, and are encouraged to
emulate the spirit :of true manliness. This'
teaching takes deep root.directly, and there
is
nothing which makes a Sinall boy so perfectly
'happy as tell lughim that he'll "be a man be
: fibre his mother."—Or"big-girls"--Miss—Logan
made six divisions :.1. The Fashionable Girl.
2. The Beautiful Girl. 3. The Womanly Girl.
The Yankee Girl. 5. The Western Girl.
0; The,Stroitg-minded Girl. Fashionable girls
she again divided into two heads—those who
are given up to, dress - and: fashion, body and
soul, and those who • only enjoy the beautiful
in dress, and who submit to oppressive conveh- •
tionalities from custom, but with great search-
WO of heart. The latter class would find a
good field for their undeveloped energies in the
cause of woman's rights, which was sure to be
come fashionable clay; and when that
day came, the triunt of the cause was en
sured at the handSli "fashion ;, it had been so
with anti-slavery and with the war spirit. By
the Beautiful Girl the - speaker meant that
one who trusted in her beauty and forgot that
she had a mind to cultivate and a soul that was
immortal. Men bad caused women to over
rate beauty by prating about it and forever
singing its praises.' 'You were to win a wo
man's regard by praising her beauty, though
she be as ugly as one of Dore's imps or as
homely as a hedge fence. This sort of girl
found it was very hard to admire. Young
ladies were not to underrate their beauty, for it
was no use to say .that sensible men despised
its charm. They no more despised it than they
despised. strawberries and cream, and they
smacked their lips both at the dish and the
beauty whenever they saw either; but they
were not to xnake it the sole thought of their
lives, nor to forget that the solid roast beef of
'sense, cultivation, and Virtue 'were the main
stays of masculine appetite after all. The
term Womanly Girl was ,intended to designate
the poor creatures who disbelieved in woman
suffrage and in woman's rights. That was the
class in whose praise the men were all so lohd
now-a-days, and whom they tOpresented as the
sole hope of •a dark and awful future. The
lecturer next presented the argument in favor
of giving the' ballot towomen. The
poor creature whom the eulogist of weakness
bad set up for worship was .a libel on her sex.
The Yankee Girl was the traditional one, with
only the bright side exposed. The Western
Girl was 'this same Yankee Girl enfranchised,
and growing where there was more room to
grow than in New England, to wit, on the
prairies. " The ~ Str.ong-minded G!al was
simply perfection; courageous but not bold;
firm but tender; willing to die in defence of
her right to the ballot, but melting into tears at
the tale of woe; intelligent, healthy,, entirely
great, altogether womanly, a model to be imi
tated, a person to be respected, a creature' to
love. •

. FRACAS.—Yesterday afternoon a scene which
created quite an excitement in the Camden
Courts occurred in the witness room, and fora
time made things intensely lively. It appears
that two men had been brought there as wit-'
misses, and they - were so much under the influ
ence of liquor as to call from the sheriff an
order to lock them up until sober. In attempt
ing to execute the order, one of them turned
upon Constable John-W. Campbell in a fero
cious manner, so much so that the officer had
to fell him to the floor three times before he,
could realize the weight of such "knock-doWn
arguments" sufficiently to follow the officer
quietly. The two were then taken to the cells
below.
BUSTS° TUE WATEE Wonks.-‘-Arrange-'
ments are iii progress which, it is said, will ter
minate in the purchase of the Water Works
by the city of Camden, on such terms as will
be perfectly satisfactory to all concerned. If
these negotiations result in such a transfer,
it
will be necessary
,for the city to increase the
capacity 'of the mains and pipes in order to
give a more liberal supply of water to those
using it. The works now yield ten per cent'.
to the company. It is proposed to sell and take
city water bonds for the entire amount at seven
per cent., which will leave a margin .of three
per cent. to the city. The bonds may run for
an indefinite number of years,

There is no courtesy in him ; he does not Care
whether it is king or clown whom he teases;
and in every step -- of :his swift mechanical

Department until 9 o'clock A. M. the 3d- day.of
FEBRUARY, 1870. It is desirable to obtain .
Locks and Keys of-a new. construction for the

not destroy, its utility for thh mails, the De- .
partment prescribes no model for bidders, but
relies for its selection on the specimens of
Mechanical' Skill and' ingenuity which nfalr
competition among. Inventors, hereby
invited, may develop.. • It is , suf
ficient to , describe the, principal
requisites of a Mail-Lock, as 'follows: Setf-
Looting unifmnity, security, fightness, strength,
durability, novelty of constructton and facility of
use. Two kinds of'Locki; and Keys ; =one of
brass and the other of iron, different in exte
rior form and intbil.o.teonStruction or arrange
ment, are -required the proposals should
epecify separately the price of each. brass
- Lock, each Key for same ; each iron Lock,
and each Key for same, Duplicatosamples of
' each kind of _Locks and lievs proposed are
required to be submitted with. the Proposals;
one of.each,Sarople Look to be riveted up and
finished, and another to be open or unriveteil,
so that its internal structure and arrangement
may easily be examined. Eve sample should
.he plainly marked with ; the bidder's name,
and, if the same or any.part , of it be covered
by a patent, the date of. such patent , and- the
name of the patentee must also 1:e attached
thereto. ,
• The internal Plait or arrangement - of the
ks-offered, and. the particular shape of the :
Key requisite to open them, must not be like
-any now -ifieheretqforit'in use, - • .
They must be !Warranted not to infringe
upon or conflict 'with any patented invention
of which the bidderial not the patentee. Pre
ference will be given to a. Lock, the Key of '
which has not been exposed to general obser
vation, or been publicly describtal, disclosed,
or suggested.
Seeisivn: on the YarLOUS S -
Proposals will be made on orbefore the 34&t
day of, MARCH, 1870; and, unless the Post-.
master-General shall deem it to be best for the -
interests of the Department to reject all the
Proposals and specimens submitted, under this'.
advertisententla right hereby expressedly re
served-to himl,.contracts will be entered into,
as soon thereafter as praeticablei with the,
successful bidder whose Locks shall be
adopted, for furnishing similar Locks „and.
Keys for four years, as they may be. required
and ordered. If Mutually agreed to in writing
by the contractor and the Postmaster-
General for -the time being, not less
than six months before its- expiration,
the!, contract may be extended and •
cenitinued for an additional term of four
years. But on and- after .the expiration of •
eithsr term of the contract, or on and after
its rightful anulment at any time, the Post
master-General shall have the right 'to con
tract, -.with ' or einploy, any other party -to
furnish the same, or any other kind of
Locks and Keys; • and if he shall deem proper,
to demand and remise from the late or de
faulting contractor all finished or unfinished
'Keys and the internal parts of the Locks con
tracted for, and all dies, gauges, and designs,
(which would 'enable others to make or forgo
such Locks-0 Keys), in the possession Of such •
contractor, who, after their surrender to the.
Department-, shall be naidfor the sarneat such
price as may be ascertained by fair appraise
inept. '
•
'The contractor must agree and, be able to
• furnish, it required and ordered, 20,000 Brass
Locks and 3,000 Brass Keys 'within threo
months from the time of entering into con
tract, and 80,000 Iron Locks and .60,000' Iron
• Keys within ten months from such time. But
the Postmaster-General will reserve the right
to increase or diminish, as the wants or inter
ests of the semi et- may demand, the quantitics
of the Locks and Keys above specified, with_
preportionate allowance of time to • fu.rnish.
them.
All the Locks furnished by the -contractor
must be warranted - to. ke'ep in good working
order for two years in the ordinary TISe of the
service, *hen.. not subjected to obvious vio
lence; such as become defective within that-
time to be replaced with perfect Locks with
out charge. All the Locks furnished under
• contract are to be, , each, distinctly marked
"U. S. Mail," in either sunk or raised letters.
and all the Keys are to be numbered in the
natural order ; each Key having its appropri
ate number. distinctly stamped upon one side
of the bow, and " U. S. Mall" on the. opposite
side.
The contrattor will be required to deliver
' -- the ,Locks at his own expense at the Post-
Office Department,•.Washington, D. C., put up
on sticks, forming separate bundles of five
Locks each, and securely packed in wooden
boxes containing. not more than two hundred
Locks each. The Keys are to be delivered to
au agent of theDepartment,duly and specially
authorized in each case to take charge of anti
-convey-the same from the, 'contractor's manu
factory to the Department, where both Locks
and Keys are to be inspected and approved be
fore they shall be paid fo'r-
The contractor will be required to give,boud,
with ample security, in the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars, to be forfeited to the United
States as liquidated damages, in case of his
failure to faithfully : perform the contract,
either as to furnishing the supplies ordered
within a reasonabld time, or as to guarding
• the manufacture of the Mail Locks and Keys
with due privacy integrity and care.
No Proposal will, therefore, be acoepted if
not accompanied with a bond of the penal.
sum of - Twenty Thousand Dollars, duly exe
cuted by the proposed sureties (whose respon
sibility must be certified by a Judge of a Court
of Record nearest to their place of residence,
attested by_the Clerk of such Court under the
seal thereof), and conditioned for their becem
- ing-responsible as anrefies - on_ the 'required
bond for the fulfillment of the contracts in cage
'
such Proposals shall be accepted. The manu
facture of Mail Locks and keys is, of neces
sity,, a highly important and delicate trust
which the Department will confide to no bidder
Whose-Proposals are _not also accompanied
with testimonials of good character.
-In deelding'on the - Proposals - and specimen;
the Postmaster-General may deem itexpedi
mit to select the Brass Lock of one bidder and
the Iron Lock of another. He, therefore, re
serves the right ot contracting with different,
individuals for such different kinds of Locks
as inimay select.
Proposals should be Carefully sealed and ad
dressed to the "Second Assistant Postma.ster-
General," and endorsed on the envelop e,Pro

Concerning* Fleas.
A writer in the Boston Transcript discOurses
of the flea :
"In disposition it is cunning. It seems to
say to the various sportsmen who are in the
' habit of hunting it, 'Here I am.' The bunter
says, 'Yes--I see—l have you!' But. as he
lifts the strategic net (which he was sure bad
covered his presumptuous foe) no trace of him,
- her-or it can be discovered. The flea is very
fond of this dodging - kind of sport, and will
follow it up for hours and then escape. It
takes two to play the game. Not Vivo fleas—
but a flea and a rasped and exasperated human
soul. The flea is the smarter. The biped
always comes eff second best—outwitted, stuns,
and covered with many wounds.
"So has it ever. been. So will it ever be.
Fleas 'is trurilps. Floods cannot drown them
or 'powder' harm them. They ride upon the
waves and are always 'up to snuff.'
"Froiii the,economy of the flea we learn six
practical lessons, - - • -
"Ist. Small things may lead to long and
strong attachments.
"2.nd.- Evening callers may cause us dis
turbed and broken sleep.
"3d. The most iron-hearted' hav their
tender spots..
"4th. There are created, thing that rest
neither day nor night. ,
".'ith. The tenderest.babe early learns the
biting experience ;Of the mature arid wise.
"6th. Bragging that we can, at any hour of
theh night,, lay our hand upon a thing, and
doing if; are twodistinct and separate deeds."

Adapted to all ages and conditions in all .climates, •-s •

they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their •

sugar coating preserves them over fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely vegetable,
no harm can arise front their use in any quantity. • . •
They operate by their powerful influence on •the
internal viscera to purify the blood and-stimulate it •
into healthy action—remove the obstructions of the- ,• •
stomach, bowels, liver and other organs of , the
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, whereyer they exist, such derange
ments as are the first origin of disease. • -
Minute direedons are giVen in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
.Pills rapidly cure:—
For Dyspepsia or Indigerdioo, Listless.
ness, Languor and Loss of Appetite, they
should be taken moderately to stimulate the atont.i . ,
ach and restore its healthy tone and action.
For Liver Complaint And its various symp
toms, Bilious Seadoche, Sick'llreadoche, „
Normalcy, or • Green Sickness, Bilious
Colic and Bilious Fevers, they should be ju.
dickonly taken for each case, to correct the diseased • '
action or remove the obstructions
_which cause it.
For Dysentery or Diarrhoea, but one, mild
dose is generally required. • • -
For Ithenmatism, Gout, Gravel,
tation - of r Heart, loofa - ha the Side;
Back and I sins; they should be continuously
taken, as reqtnit , A, to change the diseased action of
the system. With such change those complaints
disappear. •
For Dropsy and Dropsical Swellings they '
should be taken in largo and frequent doses to pro
duce the effect of a drastic purge. •
For Suppression a largo dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that otiose
of these Pills 'nukes him feel decidedly better, from
their cleansing and renovating effect , on the diges
tive apparatus. • •
