Notes from the Telegraphers' Strike.

The New York Times and Sun both
condemn the proposed action of tine telegraph
ers in calling out the railroad operators.
The National Convention of Iron and
Steel Workers, in session at Philadelphia, ad
opted resolution of sympathy with the strik
ing telegraphers.
Only fourteen out of the 227 opera
tors on the Iron Mountain system of roads
abandoned their posts, and their places were
promptly filled.
The officials of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway report that only few of their
operatives have left their posts, and their
places were easily filed.
The officials of the Wabash and Chi
cago Il Alton roads claim that not to exceed
ten of their telegraph men responded to the
order to quit work
The telegraph officials at New York
claim to have information of an organized at
tempt to tamper with the wires, and offer 81, 600
reward for each person convicted of such acts.
p. NJ. Arthur, Chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, SAYS their or
ganization has no connection with the other
labor unions, and the telegraph strike cannot
affect them.
On the night of the 9TH the Western
Union wires were cut in many places. The
agent at New York states that when work was
begun next morning half the wires to Philadel-
phia, one-quarter of those to the West, and
one-third of the eastern circuits could not be
used. The whole number of wires cut was
eighty mine, but nearly 200 were rendered use
less in consequence.
A Chicago dispatch of the Sth says
that: ssAIl the Mutual Union wires were tied
up in small copper cord at Englewood- last
night, and were only released this afternoon.
There were also sixteen Western Union wires
on the Fort Wayne tied. Tonight it is found
that ten wires on the Fort Wayne, four on the
Chicago, Burlington d Quincy. and all Of the
Wabash wires, eighty miles this side of Council
Bluffs, are tied together. Ii will require the
entire night to release them.n
On the night of the sth the telegraph
office at Bismarck was mobbed by the strikers.
The mob consisted of twenty-five men, who
broke into the Office, compelled the new man
to quit work, and then put him to bed in a
hotel. Manager Draper moved the office to
the Tribune building to prevent further
trouble.

Strange Creatures In a Bunch Of bananas.

The consumers of bananas will do
well to inspect the fruit before eating IL.
lest they may have queer things pumped
from their stomachs. A fruit dealer in
Elmira found n number Of curious little
animals in n bunch Of bananas received
from jamaica. An examination dis
closed n nest in the center of the bunch,
and seated in II was an animal rcscm-
bling mouse. though different from IL
in many respects. The young ones arc
mouse-colored, d,with large, bright eyes,
and their tails are fully MS long ms their
bodies. The mother Is Of reddish
colo, with unusually large luminous eyes
for so small an animal. Her tail Is lcng-
thy and bushy Under her breast is
sac or pouch similar to that of kanga-
roo. in which the little ones take refuge
at the slightest approach Of danger.
The young ones sit ON her tail and arc
carried about. The ddcertisor says Sow
cral scientific gentlemen have viewed
the little ones, but no ono could proper
ly classify them In the catalogue of ami

favor of prosecuting the bank officials, and the

should be continued" During the discussion

An Embarrassing Position.

Years ago there lived in the State of
New York the two brothers Thurston.
They were twins, and so closely re-
sembled each other in appearance and
.manner-even the tones of their voices
were alike-that few could tell John
from George. Their love for each other
was as intense as that which led
David to say of Jonathan: "Thy love
to me was wonderful, passing the love
of woman"
In their callow days they were asso-
ciated with an incident that combined
the ludierousness of the Two Dromios
with the pathos of John Alden's
courtship of Priscilla for Captain
Standish.
George was engaged to a young lady
in a neighboring town, and made his
courting visits every Saturday night,
1t happened one Saturday that he was
taken suddenly ill IN spirit OF rare

self-forgetfulness he asked his brother
John to take his place; John, for the
fun Of the thing, readily consented,
and promised TO do his best.
He was warmly received by the uIi-
suspecting girl, and for short time so
managed to play his part as TO remain
undiscovered. But many little secrets
exist between engaged couples, and one
such caused Johns fall from his unA
warranted position
At last his future sister-in-law sur,
prised him with the question:
by the way, George, have you got

"Got it?'

show it to me-"
"0h, yes Well never mind now.

"Well, then, why don't you let me
read it2 You've got it with you, you
know you have"
"Bead it Must be book of some
kind" thought John.
"The printer hadn't finished the
proof sheets when left the village"
be said, thinking a "white lie" no
harm.
"Proof-sheets What do you mean
There's but one, is there?"
We'll, l am in for it now. I'm get

You don't? Why, you know you

ment"
This was too much for the simple
| hearted John. lie revealed his per
sonality and obtained forgiveness, but
it was a long time before the fail
maiden would forgive her lover for his
cruel deception.
Thu two brothers lived to be old
men. Their mutual affection lasted tC
the end of their lives, for one survived
the other only a few days.
