- REGISTERED MAIL.
Many Clerks Handle and Verify Each
Package.
In the New York post office, when a
letter is presented for registration it is
inspected by the receiving clerk to as
certain whether it is in good condition,
firmly sealed, properly addressed
and sufficiently prepaid, and that
the name of the sender has been
indorsed on it. These requirements be
ing met, the clerk records the letter in
a book composed of alternate thin and
thick leaves, a manifold copy of the en
try being obtained by means of a sheet
of carbon paper placed between the
two.
The thin sheets are perforated in ob
long sections for ready separation, and
constitute the receipts issued to the
public. Each reeeipt bears a distinct
number in a series running from one to
one hundred thousand, and every letter
registered has the number of the recei pt
issued for it indorsed on its face.
The condition of the letter envelope
is now inspected by another clerk, and
if perfect-, the imprint of a hand stamp
is impressed across the edge of the flap
to betray any tampering.
These preliminaries beingcompleted,
a card known, as the return receipt is
prepared and attached to the letter by
means of a rubber band. On one side of
the card appear the number, date of
mailing, name of addressee, and desti-
nation of the letter; on the other, the
name and full address of the sender, to
- whom the receipted card will be re
turned when the letter has been deliv
ered. In its numerical order the letter
passes to a separating clerk, and with
99 others, composing an even 100, is dis
tributed to one of the six cases, where
; it will be further treated. The sep
arating clerk verifies the count of each
100 letters before separating another
" 100, and, as frequently as may be neces
sary, delivers eacli subdi vision to the
clerks in charge of the oases.
A case consists of a long table with a
set of pigeon holes bearing the names
of the large cities in the section of the
country assigned to that case, and in
these pigeon holes the clerk in charge
boxes the letters, and from time to time
parcels them out to his assistants.
The next step is the preparation of
what is known as a registered package
envelope. This consists of an ingeni
ously contrived envelope specially man
ufactured out of particularly tough
paper for the use to which it is put,
and also numbered in a scrips of 1 r.O 000.
On the face of each envclotje :i p -ars
its number and spaces for the i:;.n e of
the post office, county and state to
which it will be sent, while the back is
arranged for notations of its condition
by every postal official through whose
hands it subsequently passes. One of
these envelopes having been addressed,
entry of the letter to be inclosed in it
is- made on a registry bill, which shows
the date of mailing, name of the post
office using it, name of the postofficeto
which it will be sent, number of the
registered package envelope, and, final
ly, the registered number of the letter
to be placed in it and the name of its
addressee.
The bill and the letter are placed in
this envelope, which then passes to a
clerk, who renioves its contents, com
pares the letter with the entry on the
bill, and calls the registered letter and
registered package envelope numbers,
together with their destination, to an
assistant, who records these particu
lars in the mailing book. The letter
and bill are now replaced, in the en
velope, and it passes to another clerk
for final verification of contents and
sealing.
The sealing consists in an applica
tion of blue mucilage to the three flaps
of the envelope, which when once closed
cannot be reopened without mutila
tions, the blue mucilage exposing any
attempt to open the envelope by any
Kteaming process. The postmark show
ing the mailing office and the date is
now affixed, and the envelope, with a
lot of others from the same case, goes to
the pouch room, where andther separa
tion is necessary in order that it may
get to the registered pouch that will
carry it to the distributing office near
est its final destination.
The contents of the registered pack-
iuge envelope can now only be ascer
tained by reference to the registered
letter numbers charged against the
envelope number in the mailing book,
or the more full description of the let
ters on the registry bill, which is under
seal, and, therefore, inaccessible.
The registered package envelope is
entered by origin, number and desti
nation on the book of the pouch in
which it is to be dispatched, a carbon
manifold record of the package inclosed
in each pouch being preserved, the du
plicate sheet of each pouch forming
the bill of advice to the office to which
the pouch is sent.
When as many packages as the pouch
will hold have been entered on the
proper book two clerks verify the en
tries, sign the last sheet of the bill,
place it with the packages in the pouch.
adjust the strap that secures it and
finally attach that- mechanical wonder
called a rotary lock. This lock has a
fixed serial number engraved on its side,
which serves to identify it, and a ro
tary number, which unerringly ad
vances one every time the lock is
opened.
The pouch is then delivered to a rail
way postal clerk, who receipts for it by
lock and rotary numbers, and it re
mains under constant guard until its
destination is reached. Keys that
open the rotary locks are issued only to
post offices exchanging registered
pouches, and a careful comparison of
the rotary number of the lock with its
entry on the pouch bill is the first duty
of the clerks opening a registered
pouch.
Any discrepancy between the rotary
number advised on the bill and that
shown by the lock received would in
dicate an irregularity to be at once in
vestigated. At every transfer from
one clerk to another of a registered let
ter, registered package envelope or
registered pouch a receipt is taken,
and by these means no difficulty is ex
perienced in tracing a letter from the
time it is first mailed until delivered
to its addressee.
These rotary locks cost $15 each, and
when the number 999 is turned they
must be returned to the makers for re
adjustment. Business.'

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited

feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and

this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi

The -readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure ' in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Mall's Catarrh
Cnre is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood und mncous snrtaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building np the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to care. Send for list of
testimonials. Address :
