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¬ pered with, has been tho ambition of a 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 American.

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 varmah News. 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 laughs so mooch ? O, it is nothing, general. It’s one of CoL Strother’s little jokes. Vas is den dat choke’ It's nothing, general; nothing at all. It‘s only some of Strother’s nonsense. Van dere vas somedings so fanny in dot choke. I would laugh a leetle mysellef. Gen. .Siegel insisted on wkot dot leetle choke was, se ohief of staff told him. He Baid: It‘s nothing, except Col. just asked a little conundrum. wanted to know what was the ence between Gen. Crook’s com- mand and your command. He says that Gen. Cook went tearing up the railroad, and yon came tearing down the pike, that^s all. Maybe dot vas a good choke, bat it don't seem so fanny to me at Col. Strothers, do you hear dat. The Sommer Resort.

George & Hartnett sole agenta for Griffin, Ga OMMHi 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 and sometimes be was a mighty thick, shaggy fellow. He was tailed Cute (Malin), and he was well worthy of the name. A price was put upon his head, and all sorts of traps and ambuscades were prepared for him. It is said that once he crossed the frontier disguised with as an innocent sheep dog, travelling a flock of sheep. His death was quite hero. tragic. Cute died in harness like a He was chased by the revenue officers and repeatedly fired upon, In swim¬ ming across the Escaut he was mortally, wounded; but he managed to reach the shore, where he died.
