WITH THE Eastern MAIL.

If the conscientious folia Mail Officer died

suddenly at his post there should be found written on his heart, says Mr. R. W. Hotswell in St-Martin's le Grand, the number of bags committed to his charge, and the number of failway waggons in which the bags were stow ed. It is these two items which the officer-in charge, be he old at the business or new, must constantly have in mind during his 48 hours' railway jaunt across France and Italy. The serious business of the India Mail Officer's life commences at Calais, whither he has proceeded an Friday morning. It is a busy scene. Upon a steamer being made fast and communication established by means of gangways, awarns of blue-smocked porters stream aboard and dis appear into the hold. An instant after the ship disgorges men and bags in a thin blue line-one man, one bag, is the order of the day. The bags are carefully checked into the waggons: and when the last of the consign. ment is placed under lock and key the India Mail Officer adds to his list the number of bas in his possession.

Gond-be Calus! Sleep, until Paris is reached, and then more waggons-the French Travelling Post Office-are added to the train, At Modane, the fontier town, there is much bustle, many formalities, in which the two great items of the number of the bags and alleges play the principal part, and then through the Mont Cenis Tunnel into Italy. Sleep, with interuptions at Turin and Bologna, until the blue Adriatic come into view. To wards midnight there is a sudden cessation of

the everlasting grind of the wheels and rattle of the carriages; much knocking at the door- Brindisi at last. The one-man-one-bag-process now commences agair, and continues for three weary hours. The scene is interesting, how ever, and is perhaps not unworthy of record. The first thing that strikes one is the appear ance of the posters. They are not of the well-examined on the 30th instant, at 7.30 P.3.

Tall, short, medium-sized, clothed, very 'm'ch partially clothed, booted, bootless, young, old, grave and gay, all busily intent on emptying the vans and transferring the mails into the bold of the splendid zo-knot steamer of the P. and O. Company which is made fast to the quay.

At the foot of the gangway stands an officer with a box divided into tan sections, each of which holds ten bamboo sticks-tallies. Fach porter that enters with a bag is given one of the tallies, which he delivers at the bead of the gangway to an officer who deposits it in another

ten-holed box and at the same time shouts out to a clerk sitting at a table near his elbow, under the glare of an elecine glow famp, particulars of the destination of the big Hongkong," "Shanghai, Bombay”” Singapore,"

Chin Flec," and so forth, hour after hour. As the box at the top is filled, it is carried to the bottom and replaced by its empty fellow. It is an ad- mirable system of check, which has been in troduced from China by the steamshipcompany. Upon the delivery of the last bag accounts are examined; and given that the totals are mu- tually in accord, the steamer sheers off en route 10 Fort Said, while the officer-in-charge, dug. tired, retires within the mosquito-curtain of his bed at the neighbouring hot to dream of home and St. Martin's.
