So far as the heaviest customers of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, says
the N. Y. Tribune, the newspapers of the
country, are concerned, there has beer very
little reason as yet to know that strike is
in progress along its lines. Believing the
sYiks to have been without sufficient cause,
we are heartily glad to perceive that the
Company is likely to suffer go little embar.
rossmen. from it, and to note the indica.
tions that the worst of tho trouble is\ al
ready over. The strike was SO timed as to
leave the Company without the aid of its
very efficient President, Dir. Orton, who is
now absent in Europe, but the other officers
have acted with tact and discretion in the
embarrassing circumstances in which they
were suddenly placed, and to their wisdom
is largely due the present encouraging
state of affairs.

TENNESSEE.

1t is very evident, says Forny's Press,
that the violent course of the rebel Democ.
racy of Tennessee has put their legislation
in very doubtful position, besides impair.
ing the claim Of their new Senator, in place
OF Fowler, to seat in Congress. Had they
not deliberately broken all their pledges at
ter the precedent of the rebellion, and rat.
lfied the fifteenth amendment, they
would have saved themselves. But their
intolerance and cruelty have consolidated
the lately divided Republicans, and DISCUS.
ted many of the gentlemen on their own
side. A leading ex-Confederate, who SER
ged some years ago in Congress, writes to a
friend in Washington in bitter contempt of
the bad faith of his associates.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The great strike
of the telegraph operators employed on the
Western Union Telegraph lines, which
commenced at San Francisco few days
ago, reached here this alter noon 1t
came like the tidal wave, taking in Sacra.
mcnto, Leavenworth, St. Louis, Chicago,
Cincinatti, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburg,
Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
finally New York in its irresistible sweep.
1t has now reached the New England cities,
AMI is still spreading unchecked, and be-
fore noon tomorrow will probably have
reached the Atlantic cable.
The strike is the most gigantic and wide
spread that has ever occurred, and its eff.
feet upon commercial circles may we'll be
imagined. From all that can be ascertain,
ed it appears that the company contempla>
reduction of salaries in the San Francisco
Office. To this the operators objected and
quit work.
A committee, representing the New York
operators, waited on o. II. Palmer, Esq,
member OF the Executive Board of the
Company, this afternoon, aud demanded
to know whether the company intended to
reinstate their brethren Of the Pacific at
their former saleries, Mr. Palmers re.
spOnsc was not satisfactory, when the entire
corps of operators left their desks and re-
fused to work.

Financially the State is in sound con.

that time, s4,s53,774 16. Leaving the
balance in the Treasury on the 30th of No

Boston WORKING GIRLs.-A cores
pondent of the Boston Transcript furnish.
es the following facts and figures:
During half the year only is there steady
work so that for support during the six
otf-months provision must be made for the
gains of the preceding ona. And it must
also be borne in mind that the lowest price
paid in Boston for board-and that in an
attic, having in it as many beds as il will
holds 81 per week, light, fire, and wash>
ing not included. Now the price paid by
the piece master for pantaloons is 81. IS,
and it takes an industrious woman one day
and half to make pair If she makes
four 10 a week she will gain 81, aud in six
months about $3.50, with which she must
support herself through twelve months and
board and lodging at 81 per week.. Or,
supposing that she gets some work during
the slack season, as many DO, she may earn
about 1920 or $3.50. Almost precisely the
same returns come from vest making.

Fox HUNTING.-A man while bunting
on the hills below Coon creek, near La
Crosse, Wisconsin, tracked fox some dis.
tance, and finally "holed" him in large
hollow log that lay against the side hill
The hole being large enough to admit the
man as well ae the fox, he thought it best
to capture the sly chicken thief. So put,
ting on heavy mittens to prevent the fox
from biting him, he crawled into the log.
He was abont to bag the game, when, to
his horror,the log began to roll down the hill
with fearful velocity, aud the poor fellow
was almost ground to pieces before the log
struck in the road, about a hundred feet
from where it started. HIS cries for beln
were heard by some wood choppers, who
went to the rescue, and by dint of hard
work, extricated him in sorry condition
Three ribs were broken and sboulder
dislocated. The fox made good his e:ca pc
during the excitement.

We have already had four sI,.s.,
the city this year-the double suicide (as
We must call it) in Elizabeth-st., the sui
eide Of rich young mau in Fifth ave-,
and the suicide of poor old woman in
Division.st. One Of these victims used a
razor, another roap, and the other two
were taken off by revolver. One of these
selfmurders was induced by intolerable
grief, another by dread of destiiutivn, and
the double suicide Was the climax of a
guilty amour. We had in the city last
year no less than Ill cases Of suicide, 50
of which were men and 2l woman. OF
the men, 26 shot themselves, 23 poisoned
themselves, and Is hung Themselves; but
OF the women none resorted to shooting. and
only one hung herself Poisoning and
drowning were the most common modes of
selt-destruction among the women. Fit
teen of the female suicides poisoned them
selves, 10 drowned themselves; and Of the
others three stabbed themselves, two cut
their throats, and one jumped from a win,

nearly one half Cor SOY were Germans,
