DUTIES, SUGGESTIONS, AND INNOVA TION'S RESULTING FROM THE UNI VERSAL POSTAL UNION. I. Ittbodcctoet Nrw Dents Imposed ox the AlMrxItTBATIOX Bt THE U.MOV. To Iht Honorable PutlmattT-Gtutral, JIoho'uIh : Si. The conxtitutiou of the Universal Postal Union now real I j univna!, for, outsi.l.- of the Australian colonics, only two civilized countries, via and Costa Rica, reinaiu ont of it lun justly been termed the motit wonderful and must important event of history. It wonld be us less here to insist on the advantages which Lave caused the success of the Union, and realized the difficult Laak of blending and hartuoiiiziiiK the different, sometime eotitlictiuy, interests ot bo many nations. These advantages are chiefly that all the membera nre ilac-l on the haine footing, no matter what may be the difference of population, territory, or wealth ; and that the uma regulations are applied everywhere with tbe name guarantees for the public The first general result of the Union is, that all the postal administrations who participate in it have teen enticed, if not morally bound, to adopt the beat improvements and extensions which may exist in any other country, and even to accept thing to which they had hitherto ln constantly opposed. Hence, new prospects and duties are imposed on all the Administrations, who vie with each other for modifying their old internal regulations, so as to make them accord with the new international ones, and for intro ducing entirely new features, beneficial both to the Seats and to the public. The progresses of one impose themselves on alt the others, and now, in this branch of public services more than in any other of our modern times, the a.la,'c is found true : "He falls back who does not keep up progressing. " The entrance of the Hawaiian Kingdom into the Universal Postal Union has, consoqncntly. thrown open on the Administration yon so ably, intelligently, and progressively direct, these new duties and prosjwets. the most imjvortant of which is actually the study of all the improve ments the postal services here ore snsceptible of. The sentiment of this obligation has led you to aak me to study the different features of the postal services abroad, and signal the points which might appear susceptible of being imitated or introduced ia the Hawaiian service, at once or la a near future. This task I now undertake, after a cureful ex amination of the Regulations of the different States, and a diligent perusal of the valuable documents and information contained in that excellent organ of the Universal Posted Union, the journal L' Union Fottate, published at ISern with much talent by the worthy " Rureau Inter national." The most remarkable feature of the modern pout-office is that, whilst the main object of the institution was and is still the safe and rapid distribution of letters and correspondence of all nature (the true "mail matter"), the actual tendency of the times is to adopt and include in its services ssjAisy. which, under the shape of presenting more adequate intermediary for communications between the pnblic, will also pro luce Joes or commissions, in fact anything which will be a gain of money to the Adminis tration as well as a benefit to tbe people. Thus, we have seen the postal transactions, from the simple act of carrying letters, gradually extend : 1 To distributing articles of value, papers, mall samples, larger packages of merchandise ; 2 To collecting drafts, bills, etc., and taking subscriptions to national and foreign publica tions ; 3 To remitting money orders, receiving money on deposit, (savings banks) and lastly emitting letters of credit. Accordingly, to follow the universal move ment of the age, the task of a Post-master Gen eral is not only to attend to the perfection of the workings of his department, but also to be ou the look out and ask the Government to be allowed to adapt any idea or tuggeslion which in accomodating the public and helping the com merce and transactions of the country, will also be a source of revenue for his department. Here, however, according to modern views, the purely financial side of the I'ostal Adminis ' tration. the ambition of keeping the receipts in advance of the expenses, ought not to be the chief object of a Postmaster-Generlal's attention, and this is specially true since the Universal Postal Union. A frequent consequence of the accession of second class countries to the Union has been an augmentation of expenses, together with a decrease of receipts. This however, must not stop a Postmaster-General for two reasons : 1st. That experience has already shown that this depression in an otherwise well-orgauized admirdstrution is very soon ended, the advant ages of the system and the augmentation of traf fic resulting from it very quickly increasing the revenue so as not only to cover the expenses, but to bring in a constantly increasing net profit to the Government. 2d. Because the advantages derived to a nation from increased postal facili ties are such that it is a question, not only whether all the receipts of the service ought not to be expended for tbe nse and improvement of the same, but also whether it would not 1hj l t ter to pay fer it out of the public finances so as to carry the service to its highest point of cr fection. even at the cost of a deficiency, inas much as the taxes paid by th-a jn-ople for this purpose would be the most equitable of all gov ernment taxation. Thus the journal L' Union PoUl says : "The fact of raising or reducing the postal rates or the postal expenses is a financial question which concerns the Govern ment more than the Postal authorities, for it belongs to the Minister of Fiuauce to kuow whether in order to maintain the financial balance of the Budget, the Post aiutbes source of revenue or not, or whether it should not more nrperly be a charge on the State, similar to the "T, the Navy, the administration of Justice. etc.si ja many civilized countries, from natural anQltie, the Pot-f&ce has never been a P&;itirntion. ami nevertheless, even in the poorest St-w governments think it their just duty to kce,: np ,.,. in,rrore jt a much as possible, and -sijjttJj the people cheerfully pay their share of for thu . pose. Thus Greece. Russia, an. -. uav. a yearly deficit in their postal services. J - - w ., as the United States h.ve. The modest l- i-, lie of Columbia counted in lTS an excess of t .w peoditure over th receipt iu the it.il depart ment of about )O,0t 0. and yet this same conn try did not hesitate to venture into perhaps . - - - . a . further sacnttces to belong to til L niversui I'ostal Union. I don't expert however, that in Hawaii the present situation will !e much changed by the accession to the Union. New expenditures will be incurred, it is true, but nts new receipts will be mad, socially if the Gov ernment promptly introduce some of the mat urgent improvements which can be uctrd from the experiences of other countries. Many other desirable features and propositions will come as soon as pessible, but in their trine, fr it is not a necessity to make at one ull the modifications possible. All the P..st-office Administrations of the world havu proceeded gradually or partially, and their efficuncy baa improved with their prudence; new sug gestions have often been tried between a few local Post-offices only before being adopted generally. II. Ixtxbsai. Sebvice-s, Monopoly. The first question which naturally presents itself to the attention of the Hawaiiati Adminis tration is that of tbe Pottul Monopoly. AH gov ernment reserve to their Postal Administra tions the txclutip right of carrying and di tributing the correspondeuc of the public, and al ns of this privilege, the more more tv-rfet t are the fostal in-.fi. tr.tiotjs. Heavy penalties are edu ted against all unlawful currying or distribution of articles f.ill n. g tmd. r the postal ivileg.. Here it seems that tj:ore striiigent prohibition f.,r currying I. tiers f rom one ilmd to unother, outside of the Tost-ojlice ouLt to be enforced, except in ca--.es where the Post-office does not ufford the public all th" ine-kin of satisfactory transmission. The rext question is the treatment of the x.iaiU on thtir arrival and departure. Reception or Mails. It does not seem that anything can be sug gested, from the practise of foreign administra tions, to improve the actual mode of reception fr ..m the steaiuers. The mails are sent for as so.ii as the vessels are within reach, and landed with uil the rapidity compatible with the man a.;eii.er,t of the boats, the crews of which well d--. rvethr thanks t the public, especially in it, of had weather, late arrivals, etc. Thesort nUo stems to be conducted with intelligence an. I so as to employ the activity of all the forces on hand. Distribution. Only one thin might be suggested to alleviate the unavoidable crowding of the public at the listributiug windows on mail days, when every person who has Uot the privilege of u letter box Is eager to be served first. This would bt- to follow on a very muail scale, the example of all large towns, where oue distinct distributing window is attributed to each letter or a couple of Utters of the alphabet. Here, the actual dis tributing window at least, if not the two front windows iuiht, by some outside perpendicular riti.-'ngs to separate the public, be divided into two sections, i;iid a ceitain number of letters of the alphabet, indicated outside on the top of the win. low, to be attributed to each section, with a Kpei-ial clerk in attend nice, whose duty it would ! not to serve people calling for their letters at the wrong window. Honolulu1 Letter Cakkieks. The next thiug well worth the most urgent attention of the Government would be the dit Iribulion of mail matter in town by rftt'ributon or UUtr-carritrt : " That the employment of a sufficient number of carriers to ensure frequent communications, by post, between residents of a town covering a large extent of territory always results iu a large profit, has amply been demonstrated by expe rience ; Furnishing the means whereby cor respondeiH e may le reudily distributed, acts as nn incentive to the writing of letters which otherwise would have remained unwritten ; ' The free-delivery service, as a whole, has be come ( iu America) a source of revenue instead of an item of exj;iise.' " Such are the terms iu which the town-delivery system is charac terized by Postmaster-General Th. L. James. (Annual RejMrt. Washington, lrtM") It i-t su peril nous to enumerate the disadvan tages of the actual state of things here, but it will le projMT to say that Honolulu is, in this respect. In a worse condition than the smallest village iu Europe ; and I think that, if not an alsolute necessity for this community, it would lMr a most successful and. at any rate, interesting r-xjeriuicut to undertake the distribution of letters, 1m ginning at first with only one distri bution a day. To produce at once the greatest amount of usefulness, the trial ought to include the whole of Honolulu territory, town and snhnrlss ; these hist Ix ing exactly the parts that would be the most leiiefited, and would give the greatest receipts, by supplying one of the most decided wants of all the residents who live the farthest from the center of the town. The Honolulu territory might be, for this pur msc, divided into five districts : Honolulu central, right ami left of Fort-street ; Nnusnn Avenue, np to Queen Emma's residence ; Palama, up to Three-mile House ; Waikiki Reach ; and Makiki anil Manoa, up to Kamoilili Church. To Wgiu with, two letter-carriers on horse back might be deemed sufficient for the work ; aiul if the Government were unwilling to furnish or maintain horses. I shall very earnestly call tbe attention of the authorities to the fact, officially recorded in the journal L' Union I'ottale, that during th'. past year, iu a great oi'tny localities of the Rritish Kingdom, to give relief to the letter-carriers, who hitherto made their rounds on foot, and to accelerate in a very notable pro jsjrtion the distribution of the mails, Tbictcles, i.e., three-wheel velocipedes, have been furnished by the jHstal department to the carriers. Tri cycles have u I so been adopted with success in different cities on the European continent, and I hope that after such examples and authorities Ijefore ns. I shall not be deemed visionary, to suggest that the thing might be tried here with just as much reason, on the level streets and good roads of Honolulu. Velocipedes are, to say the least, as fast as horses, they do not require feed ing and they are not supposed to break as often and as irremediably as horses die. Moreover the novelty of their use would most likely help to secure the services of good carriers. If the Government were unwilling to make the trial of local distribution on the ordinary terms of drop letters, vtz., ou the free delivery princi ple, wnicn l osimnsier-iieuerai James proclaims 1 . .1 t A to im3 a sure source oi revenue-iuey migui reu- der the receipts more apt to cover the expenses by d. ciding that nil local letters, the senders of -io... no... .y " j.iiiuic itwuriiira, u ..i, oe prepaid ny a uouo.e i.e., io crui . and evidently nobody would refuse to pay an u...u.u v. - ponuence oeuig immeuiaieiy auu me.jr c.e- livered. ... . , . jio.eo.v. ...v- e,o.o..s ...

They then would gladly adopt the intermediary of the regular, faithful and respon sible i)stal letter-carriers, and turn over to the post office, in the shape of a slight postage on each puer, the money they are now standing for their private carriers, thus helping the postal authorities to cover the new expenditure. Tho distribution of onr local papers might be paid lor to the jost either iu the French mode, a special lvost.ige stamp being affixed on each paper, or in the English or American style, by contracts, payable monthly. As the letter-carriers would also have todistriuute foreign mails.in w hich i many articles insufficiently j prepaid may have to le paid by the receivers, to avoid delays that might occnr from the difficulty of getting' the change, I shall remark that iu Rritish India, it is forbidden to the letter-carriers to deliver the taxed corresjioudeuce, except against payment in ready fractions of money ; thev are not allowed to wait for or to make the small change, but iu case the receiver not Wing able to find it himself, the correspondence is carriel back to the office and kept nutil the next distribution. Letter-carriers are generally Iouud to carrt a stiK-k of usual iostage stamps, which they sell to meet the public wants. According to the rules based on long ex erience. it has always been found that, if the wearing of a uniform is not tiecessary for the post.d officers iu the office, it is best to insure protH-r consideration to letter-carriers by a clear distinctive sign, generally a hat or cup of uniform, like th- soldier's ; furthermore they are to be con sidered as sworn public servants, and eventually ui.iy W called on outside of their service-hours to lend a hand to the police forces. I.etteb Roxes. The institution of tsistal letter-c arriers in 1 Honolulu would naturally lead to the iutrodu.-- j tioii of isolated U'.'tr box-1, to receive the letters ; to !. mailed or distributed iu town. These J boxes would have to te regular! v visited and ' -ied (twice a day from the first) by the letter- , twns i'heir daily round trips, though in large i ' .' f'"i7tsines is often independently done by Hstai diffrrt-ut from the letter- : carriers. . Two general kiuds . . .

This is to prevent robbery of letters, i Two systems have been invented on this auto ; m.itic principle : the Swedish, very complicated, expensive and easily put out of order, aud the Italian, the adoption of which I should recom mend, if it was deemed necessary to use here I such costly contrivances. i The question of the isolated letter-boxes i brings us to say a word of the moutts into which ' the letters are thrown in nt the Central Post- office. Two are now in use without any special attribution : letters for the islands or for the foreign mails are dropped iu promiscuously. If we were to follow the example of other countries )U this matter, the public would be required to make themselves a preliminary sorting (which would help fhe work of clerks) by merely re- all are very j mj even a th s-rving one of the mouths for the internal letters, and th-1 othr specially far theforeign m.iil with proper indicati..n outside, as to their separate use. Another mouth might sjn-cially be njieiied for the late hVtrt of whii h we sh ili trent here after. The special attributions of the different mouths, unimtMjrLaiit in ordinary tiuiei. would be very Useful in the hurried tidies of mail days, and wheu the office is closed. I STF. li-LsLA N l DLsTHIBL'TION Alout the inter-island distribution and over IsjkI services. I have found iu the foreigu practise only two suggestions noteworthy. That those services might be extended and improved, is not doubtful, but the acting according to the wants of the different localities is the best guide iu the matter. As to what regards the material posi tion and welfare of the postal servants on the other islands. I shall refer to the part treating of the po-tnl forces. Floating Offices. The most important suggestion aMut Inter island communications to be derived from foreigu examples is the creation of what I shall be allowed to term flailing ifxcn. The invention of rapid communications by railways and steam ships has necessitated in all civilized countries the institution the " route ageut " service and miting post-offices, "bureau umhulauts," viz., places in the railway cars and on the ships, where Selected postal servants handle the mail matter, anl prepare the different packages that are to be leit at intermediate loiuts. IJy this means, on a railway or on a river or coasting line, correspondence from one point to anothr-r can be immediately distributed without going to the extremities of the line. An application of this system would be very useful here, on board some of our local steamers for the iuter-islaud communications, and letters from Hawaii to Maui, or tice-vtria, could be distributed without having, as now is the case, to pass through Honolulu. Probably, at first, one officer would be sufficient for each trip ; and perhaps, for making the trial, he might be selected among the officers of the ships themselves, properly compensated by the Postal Administration, and responsible to it. In support of this innova tion, I shall only refer to one of the most power ful arguments in favor of the letter-carriers ; " f u nishiug facilities for the quick distribution of mails acts as an incentive to the writing of letters which otherwise would have remained unwritten." Moreover, in reference to this very same " route agent " system, the General Super intendent of Washington says : " All the records of the Department show that every increased facilities for the exchanges of mails have been followed by an iuerease of revenue .ir greater than the expenditure " . . . " the expense of salaries to the route agents is more than made up by the augmented revenues." " Messagebies." Iu prevision of the accession of the Hawaiian Kingdom to the Convention of lh.s,0 on the Parcel Pott, as will be seen further, it will be necessary to give to the overland messengers extra facilities for carrying enlarged and heavier mails, aud exact from them more regularity than shown at present. It will, therefore, be well for the Administration to study what features could be introduced here of " Messager.es " or "Dili gences " system of Europe such as principally worked ou a large scale by Germany and Switzer land, or of the exprfMB mailt, as practised by America, or again of the Indian Carrying Agency, or "bullock train." It does not seem impos sible that iu a short time some of those messen gers who now ride upon the best aud easiest travelling roads of the islauds, between the luost important localities, might be furnished with a very light car instead of a horse only. On these cars, one or two seats might be managed for the public, and the fare, whether going to the Mes senger (American plan) or to the I'ostal Admin istration (European plan) would help to pay the expenses and maintenance of those postal lines, whilst better and quicker communications for the mails and convenient accomcMhition for the tra vellers would be insured. And if regular strate gical roads or tramways were established around the islands, it would be the duty of the Depart ment to see according to the European examples, whether for the good of the public and the in terest of the Treasury, all these new arteries of communication ought not be used by the post, not only for the transmission of mails, but also for the regular conveyance of travellers.

I , nluterial by IueaUlJ of nu euaesi traveling wire has been well and thoroughly tested during th t , m ( ,0) uudt.r a variety of circniu. stances which nave proved its economy, simpli- citv and advantages. The .Elldless Ropeway" introduced in the 18?1 bv Mr Hallidie has been in operation for ten years (IU) ami proved itself in every way tbe most r.iiaule economical and simple mode of conveying material of all descriptions that can be conveyed in reasonable sized packages. The principles of its operations will bear the trictMt criticisiii, and an examination of the same . 8kinstl aml S(.jt.utiiic mechanics will de- monstrate the great advantages over the many 1 methotls now in operation for similar purooses. Its mode of operation may be briefly summed as follows : "An endless wire rope is supported at intervals of from 150 feet or more on grooved wheels or sheaves, which are secured to the ends of cross arms elevated on suitable posts or towers about sixteen (1C) feet above surface ob structions of the ground. The bights of the endless rope are placed around eud sheaves, or grip pulleys, placed horizontally, one at each extremity of the Hue. The endless rope is thus passed around hori zontal eud sheaves or grip pulleys, and is sup ported betwoeu these end sheaves at proper inter vals, on beaming sheaves of such proportions that the friction is reducod to a minimum.

The conveyers I or carriers used for moving the material, the" form of which is regulated by the character of : the material to be moved and attached to the i rope by means of steel clips of peculiar form at distances regulated by amount of material to : le removed. j It will be seen that when the rope is set in I motion, either by . gravitation or other motive , power, the rope moving at an uniform rate of i speed of about two hundred (200) feet per miii ' ute, it will carry with it the conveyers, which ' can be loaded as tbey pass, and at the point of of discharge are unloaded automatically. In the adaptation of this system for trans- porting canes, that ortiou of the line required ; for loading, is brought to within easy reach of ; the persons who place the canes in the coutain j ers as they pass. Ry placing the containers : fiftv (50) feet apart each containing two hun- J dred (2O0) pounds there will be delivered every j minute eight hundred (S00) pounds or tweuty i four (24) tons per hour, or two hundred and forty (240; tons in ten ( 10) hours. When the point of discharge is lower than the point of loading the ropeway will run by gravi tation if the angle of descent exceeds eight (S) degrees. Special necessities exist for the use of the Hallidie system in all couutries where the obstacles to railroads or other methods are diffi cult to overcome, or when a cheap and certain line of transport is required to work at all times and is not effected by heat, cold, or rains. A mile of rtqeway consisting as it does of an end less cable, it w ill be seen that while one side is approaching you the other is receding you, and can be so arranged, movinz in auv direction. fuming any angle and virtually serving the same as two iz) miles of any other means of lion.

ROSE IN A NEW ltOlE--OTTEllIXG TIILTII! MA XT YEA RS AGO, WHEX I WAS AN apprentice in '47 and '43, we shop boys used to go Conn banting down on the South Brapch of the Karilan River, near Cull'a Mills, Near Jersey, go one night we tracked an old Coon to s large Sycamore or Buttonword tree, we found where tbe old Coon went in. The bole was about one hun dred and aeventy feet from the ground. " Hold on Hose, can not you take off a few inches oi that." No. I don't think I can unless that Carriage Maker that established a Carriage t-nop in Eighteen Hundred and xty-ftve in Honolulu, if be coiiie d .wn four or five years, I then will drop f.om foe. to five feet At any rate the ho'e aas so high that mine of us boys could get toil. We called on the owner of the tree and he would not allow the tree to be cut. We heard the story, and our blond waa rtirie.l. to we mustered a party of about fifteen of the beat of US boys and went for the old Coon. Wa were bound to have him anyhow. None of u boys could climb up to the bole, ao we werepuuled what to do, Anally we gazed out the hole where the old Coon was. so high up In the great tree, snd we not having the grinning capacity of the re nowned David Crockett or the musical powers to charm, we resorted to atrategy. Yea, as Artemus Ward would say, alrategv my boy. Three boys were dispatched lor a large bottle of petroleum oil Hold on l.oke, we hd no petroleum them days." I mean tbey went f r a Urge bottle of Turpen tine, and five boys went for the largest poles to attach tngethet to reach the hole. The bottle of turpentine was bung to the ei dot the pole, and then raised i.p tu Hie hole, anil thrust partly into il, we Ibtn took a shot gun and shot the bottle to pieces, the contents ran down into tbe tree, hut no Coon ap peared, we Iheo attached a lighted torch and raised it to the hole. Then came a bust ( thu .ilert' g sound, That Coon, Oh. h. re whs he I Aak nf the fl.ii).- tht leped sr. u ul That hole, in iheoid Uuitonwood tie.-. He Cme learl.ig not with a bound.
