couriers, and semaphore telegraphs, and carrier-pigeons and all the old world means of communication then in fashion. The key thus obtained disclosed the whole cor respondence, which turned out to be 8 connected series of letters from the French government, smuggled into Jersey. The rest history knows; the intended invasion was abandoned and Napoleon went else- where.
 ''But what put you on the scent?" asked my uncle afterwards, with many apologies to the expert.
 suspected the trick from the first, all though it was very good specimen of it.. The letters were too innocent, and had too little point; in them. But they were done with admirable skill. The grammar was complete; and the little dots or marks which bunglers use to guide them in writ ing the words which are to read were en- tirely absent. The way in which the de- ception is effected is this:-The correspon- dent, before commencing! take sheet oi paper and cut holes in it, which, of course, in the two half sheets exactly correspond. They each take one half-sheet, and when the letter is to be written, the writer so ar ranges the words that those intended to be read shall appear in the holes when the AA0At ohSSO 10 H4oSCA OFCL GAO WA1CA is of the same size. When his correspon dent receives the letter, he places his half sheet over it and reads the words as you did. The difficulty, which was we'll con- quered in this case, is to make the sense run fuently and to prevent any visible break in the writing. Without the half-sheet with the holes in 1t, no one can have the slightest clew to the real meaning.
 "My suspicious once aroused, were con- firmed by the inquiries which made. The whole story about the sister was fabrica- tion. The letters did not come from Jer- sey, the answers weht to Fleet street, to the charge of very notorious foreign agents. but if our friend bad not been fool enough to leave his half-sheet in this desk, we might have groped in vain for the mys- tery."
 Beaumont disappeared that night, and was never heard of again at the Admiralty. It transpired afterward that some accom- plice had warned him of the experts visit to the Admiralty, and his enquiries in Jer- sey He had made an attempt to get ad- mittance to his room, but was scared by the sounds he heard, and contrived to es- cape to France. The lady who acted the sister, and who visited the Admiralty, part ly to put the authorities off their guard, and probably also to interchange the key to the cipher, was partisan celebrity who both before and afterward was renowned for her daring in political intrigue,

ABOUT WALLER DOGS.
BY MARK TWAIN.

When Noah disembarked at Ararat he had scarcely touched the pier when he pro- ceeded to tally his passengers. He had just checked his last item in the list-a MT. and Mrs Bedbug-when the cringing figure of a quadruped came sneaking down the gang plank with his tail between his legs. ''Drat It! If there ain't that yaller dog!' says Noah, aiming vicious kick with his brogan at the brute. But, with facility both of long and bitter experience, the brute lodged the projectile, and ejaculatiing Ski yi'-which is Syriac for declined with thanks, or '.not for Joe''-he disap- peared, while Noah, who had his sea legs on, was unable to recover his equilibrium, and sat down with emphasis on the back of his head.
 Noah arose, and proceeded to soothe his affronted dignity by pronounciug 8. varie- gated anathema upon the yaller dog, which had characteristically sneaked unobserved on board, in the confusion of putting to sea, and capsized the captain at the first post. He cursed that dog in body, limb, bark, hide tail and wag, and all his gen. erations, relations and kindred, by con- sanguinity or affinity, and his heirs and assigns; he cursed him with perpetual fear, with perennial laziness, with hopeless mango, with his tail between his legs. He closed his stock of maledictions by spark ling display of pyrotechnics, from the de- moralizing effects of which the yaller dog has never recovered.
 With this curse sticking to him like a revenue stamp, the yaller dog can't help being "cussed." He don't try to help it. He follows Noah's programme with sneak ing fidelity. He is an Ishmalite among dogs. He receives the most oppressive courtesies, in the form of brick-bats, boots and hot water, which makes his life an an- imated target excursion. He boards around like district school teacher. and it is meal-time with him twenty four hours in the day.
 The rest of the time he hankers after something to eat. He is too omniverous for an epicure. Cram him at Delmonico s, and he would hunger for dessert from an Albany boarding-house. sr3 aas aedt #.
 He can't be utilized. He is too tired. As swill-cart locomotive, hunter, or a sentinel, he is an ignominious failure. The dog-churn was strategic attempt to en- ploy his waste energies, but he hadn't any waste energies, and butter had too much sef-respect to "come" at his persuasion. So the dog-churn was dropped. ,. r.... ..

A YER's CATHARTIC PILLS,

For all the purposes Of Laxative Medicine.
Perhaps no one Medicine is so universally re-
qured by every body as a cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universally adopted into use, IL
cry country and among all classes, as this mild
but efficient purgatiye Pill. The obvious reasoa
IS thatit is more reliable and far more efectual
remedy than any other. Those who have tried it,
know that il cured them; those who have not,
know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what 1t does 1t does always
that it never fails through any fault or neg ect
of its composition We have thousands upon thou
sands OF certificates of their remarkable cures of
the following complaints, but such eEresare known
in every neigh ghboTho0d, and we need rot publish
them. Adapted to all ages and conditions in all
climates; containing neither calomel or any dele
terious drug, they may be taken with safety by
anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ev-
er fresh and makes them pleasant to take, while
being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal yiscera to purify the blood and stimulate
il into healthy aetI0n-remOve the distractions Of
the stomach, bowels liver, aad other organs of tho
body, restoring their irregular action to health
and by correcting, Wherever they exist, such
arrangements as are the first origin 5f disease
Minute directions given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure -
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIsTLEssNEss
LASGUoR aud Loss of Appetite, they should be
taken moderately to stimulate the stomach and
restore Its neaIthy tone ana action
For Liver CoMPLAIsT and its various sym ptoms
BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK HEADACHE JAuSDICE
or Green SICKNESS, Bilious Collie and Bilious Fe-
Yers, they should be judieiously taken for each
case to correct the diseased action or remove the
distractions which cause it.
For DYsESTERY or DIARRHRA, but one mild
dose is generally required
For RHEUMATISM, HoUT, GRAVEL, PALPIrATIos
OF THE HEART, PAIs IN THE SIDE. Back and
LOINs, they should be continuously taken, as re-
qured, to change the diseased action Of the sys-
tenn With such change those complaints disap-
pear.
For DRoPsY and DRoPsIcAL SwELLISGs they
should be taken in large and frequent doses to
produce the effect Of drastic purge
For SUPPRESSION large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a DINNER Pill, take one or two pills to pro-
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence il is often ad-
yantageoUs where no serious arrangement e zists.
One who feels tolerabiy we'll, often finds tha dose
ofthese Pills makes him feel decidedly better,
from their cleansing and renovating effect on the
digestive apparatus.
