Rartnoan. The Post Ofice department has about perfect- ed arrangements to extend the railway post office service to the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. between Baltimore and Cin- cinnati. Five new postal cars have been bai and are now ready, with the exception of th interior. The new arrangement will ly facilitate the delivery of the mails to all peints in the west, as the mail matter will be distribu- ted in all respects the same as is done on the postal cars between this city and New York. CoMrENDIUM OF THE CEeNsUS.—The Congres- sional Printer has just issued the compendiam of the ninth census, authorized by the last Con- gress. It is an octavo volume of 942 pages, and was compiled under the direction of Gen. Walk- er and I. ign D. Harrington, the latter now in charge of the census office, from the three large quarto volumes, and containing, as it does, the results of all the volumes in conve- nient form, will doubtless become very popular as a work of reference. Congress, at its last session, authorized the publication of 100,000 copies of the compendium. No ArroRNEYs Nezp Apriy.—The Com- missioner of Pensions has decided that no at- torney will be recognized in a claim for increase of pensions, provided for by section 9, act of March 3, 1%3,to a single minor already re- ceiving original pension, nor in a claim for in- crease of pensions also provided for by the aforesaid section to minor children of officers. The return of the certificate of pension to the Pension office is the only requisite to the adju- dication of the claim. he Commissioner made a similar decision in the case of the act of June 4, 1872, providing for the increase of cer- tain pensions. New Posrat Treaty wits Bercium.—The Postmaster General and M. Delfosse, Minister of Belgium, to-day signed, on behalf of their respective governments, an additional postal Fi pe siege the United States and Belgiam, to effect on and after the Ist of July next. The new treaty fixes reduced rates of postage on letter mails forwarded to Belgium via Eng- land, and aiso by direct steamer from this cor to Belgium. Theyate, under the new treaty; to that country via England is eight cents, — ten cents under the old treaty, and to Belgium direct six cents. Heretofore we have evr 4 with Belgium erring for the transmission of mails direct between the two countries. Honey Bers Nor Mai Matrer.—a letter was recently received at the Post Office Depart- ment from a gentleman engaged in bee culture in Michigan, permission to transmit through the comic coal ‘wooden boxes contain- ing a queen honey bee workers. The boxes are constructed by boring large holes = through a small strip of pine board and covering the upper portion with a net work of wire. Inside each compartment small pieces of ‘sponge ith syrup are ph for the beesto feed upon. An ol ulin, of the Segertmont prohibits the transmission of such matter and itis not likely it will be re- vel . len they were allowed to pass posting = the mails complaints were frequently made by the postmasters that the syrup soiled the regular mail matter, and that the bees sometimes stung persons bandied the boxes.
