Private Postal Companies.

Private postal companies, analogous to our express anil telegraph corporations, do most of the business in China. They use no stamps, and it Is necessary to prepay only about a third of the postage, as the rest is collected from the recipient. Chinese stamps are reckoned iu candarines, approximately equivalent to cents, with the Mexican dollar as the lyisls.
