The report of the operation of the special delivery system in this city for the week end- ing October 7th has been received at the Post Office department, Postmaster Conger makes the following statement: Number of messengers employed, 29; number of special Belivery letters arriving in fails from other places, 265; number deposited in office for local delivery, 346; delivered by regular mes- sengers, 602; delivered by regular letter car- riers, 9; failed of delivery, 10; total compensa- tion due for special delivery, $48.16; average amount due each messenger, $1.66; number of trips made by messengers, 600; average tmeof delivery of letters. 18 minutes; number of let- lers arriving for Sunday delivery, 38; number ot letters mailed for other places, 210; special delivery stamps sold, 3,000. The ten letters in the atove table that are included under the head of “failed of delivery” were afterwards de- livered by carriers, Postmaster Conger explains that the. high average time of delivery is caused by the fact that all letters are delivered from the main office, and not from the stations. ‘A postmaster in a small town in Michigan writes to the department that he has only one Messenger boy, and he objects to working all night and day for $1.20 per week, as there were only 15 letters delivered. In addition, the boy complains that as there are no names Ww the streets or numbers to the houses, he is annoyed by bulldogs in hunting around for the person to deliver the letters to, and his clothes sutfer. It is thought that some provision will have to be made fn cases where messengers cannot be retained in the service at the compensation ———+e-_____ Distriet Government Affairs.

Bishop Taylor's Missionary Enterprise im Africa. DENIAL THAT IT 18 A FAILURE. To the Editor of Tam Evexmwo Stan: In this afternoon's Sra it is stated that the missionary enterprise of Bishop Taylor in Africa Is reported to be @ failure, and that his missionaries have become dependent upon the Portuguese government of Bougueala. No au- thority is given for such statement. Icon- fess I was greatly surprised at such @ report. Allthe information I had seen was to the oon- trary. This very day the New York Christian Advocate of Ociober Sth, came to hand con- taining assurances of the success of Bishop Taylor's missions. The Advocate reports that at the National Local Preachers’ convention held in Brooklyn and just adjourned, the Hon. Chauncey Shaffer ‘said that “he had Just re- ceived a letter from Bishop Wm. Taylor, who states that his missions in Africa are in a'pros- rows condi that bis missionaries are joing well, and that some of them are located 400 miles from the ocean; that Dr. Summers is locating a miasion station 600 miles from the sea; that 40 more missionaries will be wanted for Africa to start from this country the 1st of April, 1886,” &. It seins due to Bishop Tay- lor and his’ arduous and self-sacrificing work and workers that this or some similar state- ment should be laid before your readers in view of the statement to which I have referred.
