NEW USE OF THE MAILS.
Uncle Sam Doing Bigger Express Business
than any Express Company.

Uncle Sam Doing Bigger Express Business
than any Express Company.
Uncle Sam, says the Washington Post,
is rapidly becoming the biggest express
company in the country, and the United
States now carries almost every article
which does not exceed four pounds in
weight, and which does not contain
liquids live animals, or anything in
flamable, or is not in the nature of OBJ
scene literature. It used to be stand
ing joke that members of congress for
merly used the ranking privilege to send
soiled linen home. About everything
one can imagine, from old towels and
damaged overshoes to gold watches and
diamonds, is sent through the mails.
But the establishment of ''Post Par
eel conventions with other countries
opened up an enterprising field for per-
sons who had conscientious scruples
against paying customs duties, and con-
siderable smuggling is now carried on,
which 1t is impossible to detect. Pack
ages can be sent to foreign countries or
received from them, but the articles
which are prohibited in the United States
mails cannot be sent by parcels post.
Neither can gold,' silver nor precious
stones. At least, so1the law says, but
they are sent just the same.
OF course, all articles received are
subject to inspection by the customs Ell
cSEs of the country if they have reason 20
believe that the package contains dutia-
BILE articles. In this case the package is
forwarded to the address named, but it
spust be opened by the party who re-
cefves it in the presence of an officer Of
the nearest custom house, who, if it
contains dutiable matter, can collect the
charges or seize the goods.
The same rule applies to letters if they
are regarded as suspicious. But with
all these safeguards there are plenty of
articles which come into the United
States without paying duty. and in this
new and latter-day method of smuggling
the government is lending hand. On
that account, however, it does not pro-
pose to stop extending its facilities for
sending mail all oyer the civilized world.

But fully three thousand of them sat in big
Music hall, Boston, on the Fourth of
July and yelled with glee or groaned in
agony as the home club made or lost
ground. The bulletin is thoroughly pat
ented, though 1t is simple. A huge
blackboard chalk diamond, with APP
propriate figures for the two mines, the
umpire, etc., form the paraphernalia
or properties. a speedy telegrapher and
a quick witted man to manipulate
the blackboard constitute the COM
pany. Every detail of the game comes
over the wire, even to the strikes, called
balls, foul tips, and occasionally the
arguments OF the ball field. The show
is not expensive, AMI when, as in Bos--
ton, 5000 people pay 10 cents head to
sit down and see base ball played b tels-
graph, there is hope for most any ,snf5
of amusement. The sales of lstssSfs-
ade and other cool drinks sometimes
go a long way toward defraying sntossi
of the expenses. Naturally, this Enlae-
tin show is only given when thehome
club is on IFS travels, though there is no
reason why it should not pay when
game is on at home. Cleveland and
Boston are already profitahly supporting
this sort of thing, and Cincinnati aud st.
Louis are soon to fall in line.

Queer Uses Of Words.
New York Star.


According to the Chautauquan, ii
seems the most natural thing in the world
for Southerner in calling another per-
son to say, go, Johnl" but it always
seems to anuse our friends across the
way. It is the 60" that excites their
merriment, and in attempting TO give
popularity they often represent us as
saying "Ho! John, which we never
say,
Another Southern expression which al
way S sounds queer to Northern ears is
the use of the word ''mighty' as an
adverb. But to those accustomed to it
'mighty pretty conveys an idea of
beauty that the overburdened Northern
word s'lovely'' doesn It reach Turning
to Webster to see if it must be given,up
colloquially Good! We should never
want to use it except colloquially.
In the North a man fills his wagon
'sbox'' with corn and 'fdraws' it to
town; in the South he fills his wagon
''bed'' with corn and ''hauls' it to the
same place.
In New England they say the going
(meaning the condition Of the roads, is
bad; in the South they say ''the travel
ing'' is bad. Perhaps to say the roads
are bad would be more ineligible than
either.
Southerners say "like'' for "as If ,
as ''she looked like she wanted To
go. - They laugh at it in the North and
in the same breath say as for that
-''I don't know as l ever heard it
e''-and then the Southerner laughs
and both are happy. So ingrained are
both expressions, however. that the de-
linquents are seldom conscious OF the. de-
linquency.
A large proportion of grammatical mis-
takes are common to the uneducated
wherever they are found, but there are
some which are so peculiar to certain
sections that their use settles at once the
question of whether the person using
them is from the North or South. The
expression 81 seen for 81 saw Is a
~ery common mistake in the South and
rare in the North, white 81 seen him
yesterday for 81 saw him Yesterday -
so common, even among educated peo-
pie at the North, is never heard IN the
South.
This makes it difficult for writers who
have never lived in certain section to
initiate successfully the dialect OF that
people. They are apt to be betrayed into
the mistake of putting into the mouths of
certain class in another part of the
country such words as they would
hear from the same class i'll their
own section This undoubtedly is
the difficulty which many Northern
writer's find in truthfully portrayIng the
negro dialect. They take as models the
negros they have known, and judge in-
correctly that the talk of the Southern
negro would be the same; consequently
a practieed ear can almost always detect
the difference between one who assumes
familiarity and one who is ''to
this manner born. The incon-
gruity of making IA Southern ne
gro say, "whar e you eoin'? as
we saw recently in s$ne story, is mex
pressibly ludIcrous til eRs familiar with
their dialect. He mignt say, HWhar
you goin'? or 'Whar is you goin -
but never, "Whar be you goin ~ The
honor of the expression, You be, be-
longs exclusively to the North. What
he would be most Likely tosay IS, /" Whar
you gwine?''
