If a By a recent order of the Postmaster General, the fifth subdivision of the 42d instruction of the new post office law has been amended by striking out the word twelve and inserting thirty-two before the word ounces, so that it shall read as follows : "The weight of packages of seeds, cuttings, roots, and scions, to be franked, is limited to thirty-two ounces." subscription begins at any other time than the commencement of an official quarter, the postage received by the postmaster must still be entered in his account for that quarter. Subscribers for short terms -- exceeding three months, say four or five months-can pay quarterly postage for the actual term of their subscriptions-that is, for one quar- ter and a third, one quarter and two-thirds, etc. The law only requires that at least one quarter's postage shall be pre-paid, and not more than one year's postage. Any term between one quarter and one year can therefore be pre-paid at proportionate rates. All mail matter not sent at letter rates of postage, embracing books, book manuscripts, proof-sheets and other printed matter, and all other mail matter, except seeds, must be so wrapped or enveloped with open sides or ends as to enable the postmaster to examine the package without destroying the wrapper, otherwise such packages must be rated with letter postage. No communication, whether in writing or in print, can be sent with any seeds, roots, cuttings, or scions, maps, engravings, or other matter not printed, except upon the separate pay- ment of postage upon each separate matter at the established rates. PUBLISHERS OF NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS may send to each other from their respective offices of publication, free of postage, one copy of each publication, and may also send to each actual subscriber, en- closed in their publications, bills and receipts for the same, free of postage. They may also state on their respective publications, the date when the subscription expires, to be written or printed. Exchange newspapers and periodicals cannot be re-mailed without being chargeable with postage.

All transient matter must be pre-paid by stamps. "But if it comes to the office of delivery without pre-payment, or short-paid, the unpaid postage must be collected on delivery at double the pre-paid rate. Great neglect exists in the strict quarterly pre-payment of postage on printed matter sent to regular subscribers. No such paper should be delivered, unless it is either pre-paid at the mailing office or at the delivery office for at least a quarter. If not so pre-paid, postmasters must col- lect postage on each copy as on transient matter. If they fail, they will be charged with the full postage due, and in clear cases removed from office for neglect.
To enclose or conceal a letter or other thing (except bills and receipts for subscription) in, or to write or print anything, after its publication, upon any newspaper, pamphlet, magazine, or other printed matter, is illegal, and subjects such printed matter, and the entire printed pack- age of which it is a part, to letter postage.
Any word or communication, whether by printing, writing, marks, or signs, upon the cover or wrapper of a newspaper, pamphlet, magazine, or other printed matter, other than the name and address of the person to whom it is to be sent, and the date when subscriptions expires, and a business card printed on the wrapper, subjects the package to letter postage.
