But
to
return.
While
some
of
the
officers
are
attending
in
this
way
to
the
wants
of
the
country,
others
are
serving
the
interests
of
the
town.
A
hundred
or
two
gentlemen,
bankers
and
manufacturers,
pay
an
extra
guinea
yearly
in
order
to
secure
certain
special
privileges
at
the
Post-Office.
These
privileges
consist,
in
brief,
of
having
their
letters
arranged
in
private
boxes,
each
labelled
with
their
names,
and
delivered
from
these
boxes
by
one
of
the
clerks
as
soon
as
the
office
is
opened,
or
the
moment
the
letter-carriers
emerge
from
it
to
enter
upon
any
of
the
daily
deliveries
of
letters.
Of
course
these
letters
must
be
prepared
previously.
The
office
is
open
to
the
public
for
money-orders
and
for
the
transaction
of
the
business
of
the
new
savings'
banks
at
nine
o'clock,
and
continues
open
on
every
day,
except
Saturdays,
until
six,
on
which
day
two
hours
longer
are
allowed.
It
is
not
necessary
to
describe
the
arrangements
in
these
branches,
seeing
that
the
public
are
familiar
from
daily
experience
with
them.
It
will
suffice
to
say
that
separate
clerks
are
usually
delegated
to
these
duties
in
our
large
towns,
and
are
answerable
to
the
postmaster
for
the
correctness
of
their
accounts.
The
same
clerk
attends
to
the
sale
of
postage-stamps,
keeping
an
account
with
the
postmaster
of
the
quantity
sold,
and
also
of
the
stamps
bought
from
the
public
under
the
recent
arrangement.
In
larger
towns
where
one
clerk
is
specially
retained
for
these
duties,
he
is
known
as
the
"window
clerk,"
as
it
devolves
upon
him
to
answer
all
applications
and
inquiries.
