The Plantation Negro Dialect

The Norristown pa Herald thinks that
a story in Volapuk would be a welcome
change from the negro dialect sketches
that appear in print these days, and that it
would be about as Ineligible to the average
reader.
The Herald is quite right. The dialect
business is overworked, and nearly every
attempt at it is a failure. The fact is that
there is only one living writer who correctly
reproduces in print the dialect peculiar to
the Southern plantation negro, viz, Joel
Chandler Harris. The others are not even
imitators. 1t would be better for them if
they were; but instead of following closely
Uncle Remus," they go ahead on their
own hook, and invariably make a botch of
it. Mr.. Harris has spent all of his life in
the South, and for some years he had the
advantage of living on a Southern plant
alton, whsre he daily noted the peculiarities
of speech and character of tho plantation
negro. And yet it is extremely doubtful if
he could have succeeded in this line Of
literature 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 certain
class of Creoles in louisiana Col. Richard
Malcolm Johnston has given that of the
old-time Georgia Cracker. but it was left to
Mr.. Harris to preserve in print the quaint
sayings and mode Of speech of the Southern
plantation negro. Literature owes him
much for having done 80.
The most dismal failures in the use of the
negro dialect are made by Northern writers,
and it is not strange that this is so. If
Southern writers, who have been in daily
contact with plantation negroes, fail in this
line, certainly it cannot be expected that
Northern writers should succeed Here, for
INSTANCES, is sketch in the New York Tti5-
une in which "hab" is substituted for have,
lob" for of, ''ebery" for every, mars" for
"marster" and eve dem" for US, and in
which an entirely erroneous impression of
the negro character is created. The South
ern negro does not uso the words as given,
but the writer Of the sketch may be excused
for not knowing it.
As the Herald suggests, when writers
want to take up a new Language" let
them take up Volapuk.

1t is fact not generally known, that If one
be handled with impunity The skin becomes
sting proof, and holding the insect by the feet,
and giving her full liberty of action you can
see her drive her weapon against the i'm
penetrable surface with a force that lifts her
body at every stroke; but let the smallest
quantity OF air escape from the lungs, and the
sting win penetrate at once. | have never seen
an exception to this in twenty five years OBJ

very delicate hands to astonish their friends by
the performance of this feat; and saw one SO
severely stung as to require the services of a
physician, through laughing at a witty remark
of her sister, forgetting that laughing required
breath. For a theory in explanation, / am led
to believe that holding the breath partially
closes the pores of the skin. My experiments
In that direction have not been exact enough to

That Night.

1naJ NlRnC.
You and that night with its perfume and
glory
The scent of the locusts-the light of the
moon;
And the yioins weaving the walters story,
EnmeShing their feet in the weft of the tune,
Till their shadows uncertain
Reeled round on the curtain
While under the trellis we drank in the June.
Soaked through with the midnight the cedars
were sleeping,
Their shadowy tresseS outlined in the
bright
Crystal moon-smitten mists, where the foun-
tain's heart Ieapng
Forever,
Forever, forever burst, full with delight;
And its lisp on my spirit
Fell faint as that near it
Whose love like a lily bloomed out in the
night.
0, your glove was an odorous sachet Of blsses !
The breath of your fan was a breeze of
Cathayi
And the rose at your throat was a nest of spilled
kisses!
And the music-in fancy, hear it to-day,
AS | sit here, confessing
Our secret, and blessing
My rival who found us, and waltZed YOU
away. JAMES WHITCONB RILEY.

ditch has been dug across Sixth street
at its intersection with the White Bluff
Shell road, so as to prevent the use of that
road without the payment Of toll. The
ditch is source Of danger, and may cause
a serious accident OF course, as long as
the shell road is recognized as private
property no one ought to use it without
paying for the privilege, but surely those
who have possession of the road have no
right to protect it in the manner above indi-
cated. The right Of the people to the use of
this road, which is one o f the oldest high
ways in tae State, at least SO much of it as
is within the city's limits, should be decided
without unnecessary delay. Bnt whether
tho decision Of this question is DELAYED or
not, something should be done to protect
the public against the danger Of the ditch
above referred to. Sixth street is omen
from Habersham street TO the shell road
and people coming from that direction
with the Wow Of crossing TO the streets
west OF the shell road, should look out for
he dangerous ditch.

Who is going to put Senator Sherman in
nomination at Chicago This question is
exciting considerable interest, and it seems
that no matter whom the Senator selects to
perform that office for him, the choice will
be unfortunate. Some time ago it seemed
to be settled that Gov. Foraker would be
the man, but evidently the Ohio Senator
became suspicious that the Ohio Governor
might play the Garfield game of 1880, so
Foraker was put aside. Next it was Con
gresham Butterworth, but as soon as it
was whispered about that Butterworth
would probably make some incidental refer
ence to Blaine, he, too, was dropped. Next,
Sherman invaded Massachusetts, and was
reported to have selected that venerable
person, Hon. George Frisbie Hoar to do
him the desired service; but upon consdera-
ton he seems to have concluded that it
wouldn't look well to go outside of Ohio in
making the selection, and it Is now reported
that Congressman Mckinley is to present
his NAME and at the same time engineer
any little Mckinley movement that might
be sprung. One thing seems to DO settled,
however, and that is that the nomination
will be seconded by ex-Congressman Lynch,
a colored delegate from Mississippi. Sher-
man wouldn't allow a colored delegate to
be appointed from Ohio, but he is quite
willing for one from another State to do
him service.
