ANOTHER ENGLISH "LoRD" AFTER AN
AMERICAN WIFE.-A Boston paper says that
one of the young women assistants of the Bos-
ton public library has been wooed and won by
ayouns man who finally disclosed that he was
an English nobleman, who has been living in
this country In disguise, and has now gone to
England for brief visit before his marriage.
Inc title that he claimed is Lord Butte, but
tnere IS no such Lord in the English peerage,-
only the Morquis of Butte, the rich young
Oathohc nooleman who has not been in this
country, and could not come without his pres

that the young woman, who is the dauobter of

MASS MEETING OF LONDON WoRKINGMEN.-
An immense mass-meeting of London Work
ingmen was held at Exeter all Tuesday eve
hing under the auspices of the Workngmen's
Emigration Society, for the purpose of consid-
ering the subject of emigration. Sir George
Grey delivered long address. He said the
English labor market was overstocked with ar
tisans at the present time. Thousands of men
were unable to obtain employment, and having
no means to emigrate were filling the work
houses. He thought it was the duty of the gov
eminent to organize system of free emigra-
ten to the English colonies,-to use the gov
ernment vessels now lying idle for that pur-
pose, and pay all expenses of transportion. He
believed the government would lose nothing by
adopting such course. 1t would invigorate
the colonies, and enrich both the home govern
ment and the workingmen.
Resolutions were passed calling upon the
government to organize a national system of
emigration to the British colonies, believing
that to be the only remedy for the prevailing
distress among the mechanics and laboring
men of the country; recommending that idle
government vessels be used for that purpose !:
that there shall be regular intervals for depart
ure, and that em:grants be landed at whatever
portion of the British dominous they prefer to
locate. The resolutions were carried amid
great applause.

IHE TELEGRAPH OPERATORS STRIKE
Yesterday afternoons the strike of the operators
of the Western Union Company had become
quite general through the country, nearly all
the large offices, and many of the small ones,
North of Washington and West of Portland,
being practically closed for want of men. At
the Portland office business for the West was
refused on this account. The operators in this
city, we believe, are rot members ofthe League,
and consequently not bound by its action
They were still on duty yesterday. The force
in the Boston office was reduced to three men,
the day aud eight managers and the book
keeper. At council of the Boston operators
Tuesday evening the following resolutions were
adopted:
| ReSolUed, That any proposition to resume our
work which does not guarantee the reinstaIe
| ment on the old terms of all engaged III the
present movement be rejected:
| Pps0lyed That in consideration OF the friend
" attitude of the press generally, we detail a
sufficient force to report themselves in this city
| for the purpose OF receiving and FORWARDING
dispatches of the Associated Press, this reso,
luton being subject to the approval of the
Grand Circuit of New York.
A congratnlatory message from the head
quarters of the League contains the following
paragraphs:
Mr. Eckert, Superintendent of the Western
Union telegraph Company, says there is no
power sufficient to make them yield. We are
even stronger than we supposed. Every lady
member in New York followed the example OF
her brethren and all have been discharged by
General Eckert. 1t is war to the kuife! We
are ali in one boat and must land at the same
spot The meeting this evening was crowded
and enthusiastic. All are hopeful and deter
mined. The Western Union officials deny that
the salaries of the California operators have
feen reduced. Later information from our
| chief operator says six men were not only
reduced, but two were discharged for being
members of the league" They will not allow
our officers to send cipher message, but the
above information came over his signature,
with the managers approval. Let every man
stand firm and do all in his power to prevent
outsiders from taking our places. But no
threats should be used. Those who are not
with us are against us, and their names must
| be recorded.
1t was reported last night that the strike
embraced all the operators in thirty-four cities
| and towns, and that the League had $500 mem
bers enrolled. The ladies in the Boston Offices
joined the strikers Wednesday morning.

Down with the Taxes!

The clamor for reduction OF taxation
continues to grow louder and louder. The
press throughout the country are requiring
of Congress immediate attention to this most
urgent subject. Congress, however," says
the New York Times, editorially, admitting
"the Justice of this appeal, folds its arms in
ssapathy, and wastes week after week IN dls-
"cussions on personal affairs, or on the pet
.tiest questions which the ingenuity OF trl-
"aers could possibly suggest" The poor
are pinched by the taxes almost beyond the
limits of endurance, and find themselves de-
prived of many small Decessaries OF life BY
the levies which are made upon them by the
tax-eatherer. The Times, becoming alarm
ed at the procrastination Of Congress in tsis
regard, says it will imperil the existence oi
the Republican party, if the leaders are not
very careful, and closes an able article on
this topic as follows: "The people will not
"always submit to be put off, like children.
sThey will have relief from taxation, if not
sfrom one party, from another. Four months
''have been frittered away already. Is moi
"this enough to satisfy the greatest admir-
"ers of Fabian policy? We can only once
''more warn Congress that further delays
"may exasperate the people in way which
"no one need be anxious to witness. Shall
"we have to record the lapse Of another
"week without single step being taken TO-
'sward settlement of this question?
