A Safety Envelope Inventml.
To secure the flap of an envelope so that
It may not be readily opened without be¬
traying the fact that it had l«on tam¬

good many inventors. An envelope con¬
structed as follows is the subject of a
recent English patent: Tho fiap is so cut
and shaped as hand to bring the point of it to
the top right corner of the front
side of the envelope, where the gummed
surface of the flap secures it to the front
of the envelope. The postage stamp is
then fixed over the flap so that tho en¬
velope cannot possibly be unfastened
without destroying the stamp.—Scientific

The Plantation Negro Dialect.
The Norristown (Pa.) Herald
thinks that a story in Volapuk would
be a welcome change for the negro
dialect sketches that appear in print
these days. aDd that it would be
about as intelligible to the average
reader.
The Herald is quite right. The
dialect bnsiness is overworked and
nearly every attempt at it is a fail¬
ure. The fact is that there is only one
living writer who correctly reproda
ces in print the dialect peculiar to the
Southern plantation negro, viz., Joel
Chandler Harris. The others are not
even imitators. It would be better
for them if they were; bnt instead of
following closely. “Uncle Remus,”
they go ahead on their own hook,
and invaribly make a botch of it. Mr.
Harris bos spent all of bis life in the
South, and for some years he had
the advantage of living on a South
ern plantation, where he daily noted
the pecnliarities of speech and charac
ter of the plantation negro. And
yet it is extremely doubtful if he
could have suceeded in this line of
litesature if he had not possessed a
positive genius for the work. The
negro dialect is not easily written.
If it were, Mr. Harris’ books perhaps
would not have met with such great
favor. Mr Cable stands out alone in
reproducing the dialect of a certain
class of Creoles in Louisiana*; Col,
Richard Malcolm Johnston has given
that of the oicBtime Georgia Cracker,
bat it was left to Mr. Harris to pro
serve in paint the quaint saying* and
mode of speech of the Southern
plantation negro. Literature owes
him much for b&ving done so.
The most dismal failures in the use
of the negto dialect are made hy
Northern writers.andit is not strange
that this is so. If Southern writ
ers, who have been in daily contact
with plantation negioes, fail in this
line, certainly it cannot be expected
that Northern writers should succeed.
Here, for instance, is a sketch in the
New York Tribune iu which “bab” is
substituted for have, “od” for of,
•‘ebeiy” for every, “mars” for
“marstet” and “we deco” for us, and
in which an entirely erroneous impres
sion of the negro character is creat
ed. The Southern negro does not
nse the words as given, but tbe writ
er of tbe sketch may be excused for
not knowing it.
As the Herald suggests, when writ
ers want to take upja new language,
let them take op Volapnk.—[Sa

Porte Crayon’s Joke.
Texas Siftings.
The following good story is told
of the late Gen. Strothers (Porte
Crayon), who at one time daring the
war was on the staff of Gen. Siegel-
Gens. Siegel and Crook were making
a raid on the confederates in Tennes
see. Their commands were some
distance apart, Each had certain
work to do, and then they were to
unite tbeir'forcesat a certain place ,&
Gen- Crook performed his part
well, detesting tbe confederates, and
tearing up a long line of railroad.
On tbe other band, Siegel was defeat
ed and had to make a buried retreat
over a pike road, very narrowly 68
caping capture. As Gen. Siegel was
riding along at the head of his com
mand, he heard an explosion of langh
ter among his staff, just behind him.
He tamed and asked:
Schentlemens, vy ish dot yon

O, it is nothing, general. It’s one
of CoL Strother’s little jokes.

It's nothing, general; nothing at

nonsense.

Trained T? for Snmgglinc- J: ^7
Dogs j
On tbe Belgian frontier smuggling
with the aid of trained dogs is said to be
a flourishing business. CSgare, jewelry
and laces constitute the trade. The ani¬
mals receive a special training for their
profession. The practice consists in
traveling from one place in Belgium to
another in France and vice versa, avoid¬
ing tbe high roads and tbe revenue men.
Tbe latter they are taught by bitter ex¬
perience to avoid, for tbe smugglers who
train them keep a good supply band. of These uni¬
forms of revenue officers on
uniforms are donned by confederates
whom the dogs have never seen, and
these fellows beat and stone the dogs un¬
mercifully. The result is that the dogs
run. whenever they see a genuine officer.
When tbe dog is started off on his jour¬
ney with his load the smuggler sets out
for the same place, but he takes the di¬
rect route, or travels boldly by rail, car¬
ing, of courae, nothing for any inspec¬
tion of his baggage.
There was a famous dog of this kind
in Maubeuge. He made the fortune of
his master by carrying laces across the
French frontier. His natural color was
white, but he wore all scats of disguises. brown
Sometimes be was black, sometimes

once he crossed the frontier disguised with as
an innocent sheep dog, travelling a
flock of sheep. His death was quite hero.
