SUGGESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC.

Facilities are given to the post-office officials in the discharge of their daily duties, and greater security afforded to the public, by careful attention to the fol- lowing recommendations:

Make the address on letters legible and complete, giving the name of the post-office, county and State. The name of the street and number of the house should also be given on letters addressed to cities where let- ter carriers are employed; while the letter will eventu- ally reach its destination without a number, the omission is often a cause of hesitation and delay. In the case of letters for places in foreign countries, the name of the country as well as the post-office should be given in full. Letters addressed, for instance, merely to " London," without adding " England," are frequently sent to London, Canada, and vice versa, thereby causing delay, and often serious loss.

RATES OF POSTAGE ON DOMESTIC MAIL MATTER.

FIRST-CLASS MATTER .- Matter which is in writing, or other matter containing a written inscription in the nature of personal correspondence, and matter which is sealed against inspection, are alone by their nature and the intent of the law first-class matter, and subject to the postage rate of three cents for each half ounce or fraction thereof.

REGISTRATION OF DOMESTIC LETTERS.

Letters may be registered on payment of a fee of ten cents in addition to the regular letter rate of post- age, but the Government takes no responsibility for safe carriage, or compensation in case of loss. Post- masters are required to register all letters properly presented for that purpose, but no letters are to be registered on Sunday.

Third and fourth class matter may also be regis- tered, but must be unsealed, fully prepaid at the proper rates, and conform to all requirements.

POSTAL CARDS.

The object of the postal card is to facilitate letter corresponderice, and provide for the transmission, through the mails, at a reduced rate of postage, of short communications, either printed or written in pencil or ink. They may, therefore, be used for or- ders, invitations, notices, receipts, acknowledgments, price lists, and other requirements of business and social life; and the matter desired to be conveyed may be either in writing or in print, or partially in both. The postage of one cent is paid by the stamp impressed on these cards to any office in the United States, and no further payment is required. No card s & " postal card" except such as are issued by the Post-Office Department. According to the provisions of the Treaty of Berne, postal cards may be sent to the following named countries (or others included in the General Postal Union), on the prepayment of postage two cents, viz: Africa (British; French, and Spanish Possessions) Algeria, Argentine Confedera- tion, Austria, Azore, and Bahama Islands, Belgium, Borneo, Brazil, British Burmah, British Honduras, British India, Buenos Ayres, Ceylon, China (port of Hong Kong) , Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, France, and French Possessions, Greece, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Montenegro, Moldavia, Netherlands and Dutch Possessions, Norway, Persia, Peru, Portugal, and Portuguese Possessions, Russia, Servia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Uraguay, Venezuela, and ,Wallachia; also to Newfoundland, on prepay- ment of two cents, and to Canada same as domestic.

POSTAL MONEY ORDER 8YSTEM.

The money order system is intended to promote public convenience, and to secure safety in the trans- fer, through the mails, of small sums of money. All principal Post Offices receive money and issue drafts for the same upon other Post Offices, subject to the following charges and regulationa:

DOMESTIC RATES .- On orders not exceeding $15, 10 centa ; over $15 and not exceeding $30, 15 cents ; over $30 and not exceeding $40, 20 cents ; over $40 and not exceeding $50, 25 cents.

ALGERIAN, CANADIAN, FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, AND SWISS RATES .- On orders not exceeding $10, 15 cents ; over $10 and not exceeding $20, 30 cents ; over $20 and not exceeding $30, 45 cents ; over $30 and not exceeding $40, 80 cents ; over $40 and not exceeding $50,$1.

exceeding $40, 85 cents ; over $40 and not exceeding $50, $1.

A money order may be issued for any amount from one cent up to fifty dollars inclusive, but fractional parts of a cent must not be introduced into any money order or account. When a larger sum than fifty dol- lars is required, additional ordera to make it up must be obtained. Not more than three orders of fifty dollars each can be remitted by one person each day to one payee.

An order is only payable at the office upon which it is drawn. The order should be collected within one year from its date. After once paying an order by whomsoever presented, provided the required infor- mation has been given by the party who presented it, the Department will not hold itself liable to any fur- ther claim, but in case of improper payment of an order, will endeavor to recover the amount for the owner.

FREE POSTAL DELIVERY.

The Free Postal Delivery System is similar to the one so successfully maintained in several of the large Eastern cities. There are sixty districts, each of which is in charge of a carrier, who delivers promptly all mail matter received at the Post Office, upon which is written the correct address, street and number of the party for whom it is intended.

All persons who desire their letters, eto., retained until called for, must leave their address at the Post- Office.

METEOROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS.

Meteorological Observations.

(Made at San Francisco, from Nov., 1850, to Jan., 1881, by Henry Gibbons, Sen., M. D.)

In the following tables the reader will find, in & condensed form, the result of thirty years' diligent observation of the climate of San Francisco, with more particular reference to rain.

Rain has fallen in every month of the year. In July it has rained only in two years ; August has furnished rain in five years ; June in eight years ; September in fourteen years; October in twenty-one years. No ac- count is made of a mere sprinkle, nor of the deposit of summer mist. The greatest quantity of mist which ever falls in twenty-four hours is about three- hundredths of an inch. But this quantity is very rare. Near the ocean the mist is much chore copious.

The driest season was 1850-51, which gave only seven inches. Next to that was 1863-64, with eight and one-half inches. The winter of 1867-68 gave the most rain-forty inchee. The average is very nearly twenty-two inches.

The earliest setting in of the rainy season was Oc- tober 8th; the latest, January 12th. An early begin- ning and an abundant supply are apt to go together, but there is no rule in this respect-the latest begin- nings have been followed by an average supply.

The average date of the beginning of the rainy sea- son is November 28th ; of the termination, April 10th. March is as certain to bring rain in liberal amount 88 any other month. In one year out of every three there is no rain of importance after March. The last showers of the season come, with remarkable uniformity, about the third week of May.

The middle of January is the average dividing point of the rainy season. The mean quantity be- fore January lat is about equal to the mean quantity after January 31st.
