| A few days suspension of a large amount
of the business of this vast country will
prove what an absolute necessity the tele-
! graph has become. How will it end? By
| the usual detestable mode-compromise-
no doubt. A thing is right, Or it is wrong.
If wrong, away with it, No compromise
can right it, Certainly most of the de-
Inanas made in this case are at least reason
| able. The demands are that there be to-
| tai abolition of compulsory Sunday work,
unless it is paid for at double usual rates;

increase on all their salaries. In Philadel-
| phia the number OF strikers was about 300,
| only q very few remaining at their instru-
ments All the operators of small suburban
| places and all the amateurs were called into
J service, but they could not keep up with the
work. When the cipher signal was received
ordering members of the Brotherhood to
strike, the operators men and women,
! quietly quit work and went down to the
sidewalk. where leaders of the Brotherhood
waited to congratulate them. They imme-
| diately went into convention with closed
| doors, where every thing was conducted
without noise or confusion. The president
/ thinks the strike may not last longer than
. twenty-four hours, but says they are assured
| 1u1lCS TO lllaliltdlu tNSI1 IOf Lnfee weeks.
=, There was considerable furry III business
circles and among brokers, although it had
been anticipated, but there was no panic.
! Strikes are the order of the day. and even
now there are no less than 10000 cigar

reversed-the employees have been locked
out by the employers.
The records prove that there is more of
every sort Of crime committed on Sunday
than any other day, and without doubt it
is owing to liquor There is q law in this
city forbidding the sale of liquor on Sun
day, ard it Is not allowed i'll the Park even
on week days. The punishment for selling
liquor without a license Is, for the first Of
fense, fine of $500 to $500; for the second
offense a fine OF 500 to $1,000, and in de
fault of payment, imprisonment from SIX
months to q year. Quite a serious thing to
break that law and yet it is done constantly.
The Law and Order Society is using every
means to find out the gaity parties and en-
force a compliance with the law. It has
brought charges against a number Of estab-
lishnents and avows its intention to be no
respecter OF persons, to spare none, not
even the arstocratic hotels of Chestnut and
Broad streets.

THE MAIDEN'S LAMENT.

After Schiller.
The oak forest bends
To the tempest's roar,
As maiden sits
On the lakes green shore;
The waves are breaking with stormy might,
And her siShs go forth III the darkenlng night
And her eyes are red with weeping.
OH the world is void.
And my heart is sore.
And nothing is left me
To wish for more.
Oh! mother of Christi why still must | live?
When I've known all the JOY tins world can give
The rapture of living and loving"
Though many thy tears,
In vain dost thou weep;
Thy cries will not waken
The dead from their Sleep
But tell me the balm for wounded heart
Where the death of love has left its smart
This soiace I'll send thee from Heaven"
Full we'll do | know
That IN vain | weep,
That my cries can not waken
My dead from his sleep;
Yet the sweetest balm for Il wounded heart
Where the death of love has left It's smart.
Is loves sweet anguish and SORROW

A FARMERS HOME.

BY GALUS.
if on earth there is an Eden,
1t is in the farmers home;
Sunny fields with harvests laden
Meet our eyes where'er we roam.
Every nook and every corner
Hath some sign of promise fair,
Hopes that he will safely garner
What he needs and have to spare.
Nature, smiling in her beauty,
Dresses all in lovely green,
And while farmers do their duty,
Plenty everywhere IS seen.
Earthly comforts round him gather
And repay him for his toll,
Cheerful still in wintry weather
Is the tiller of the soil.
All around his peaceful dwelling
Fragrant flowers embalm the air,
And their sweetness far extending
Well repays the matron's care.
Peace and plenty, JOY and gladness
Bless thcir hands and fill each heart,
And whilst others rove in sadness,
Farmers have the Eden's part.

Lacrosse.

In 1876 fifteen Canadian gentlemen amateur
lacrosse players, with thirteen Iroquois In
dams, the originstors of the game, visited
Great Britain and Ireland, under the auspices
of His Exoellency the Earl OF Dufferin, then
Governor General OF Canada. This plucky
enterprise, TO show the national game Of Cana
ada, one indigenous to the soil, was organized
at the expense of the gentlemen amateurs who
composed the Canadian team After a series
of matches they had the honor of a command
to visit Windsor Castle, where they played in
presence Of Her Majesty the Queen and the
royal family, and were each presented 70 Her
Majesty and receiI ed from her hands her pho
tosraph and autograph. The enterprise was
conceived in no speculative spirit. but was
pUrely amateur and national; and from first 10
last bore such an irreproachahle character, that
the Earl Of Carnaryon, then Colonial Secreta-
ry, made complimentary allusion to its success,
in a speech delivered before the Canadian
ritlemen at Wimbledon. a month after the
teams had isft the country
1t has, therefore, been decided to revisit
England with q picked Canadian team from
the First TweIves Of Montreal, Toronto, Que
bee, and Winnipeg Clubs, all Of which are
under the jurisdiction Of the 'National ANA
teur Lacrosse Association OF Canada" A So
perior team of Iroquois Indians will also be
brought, in order to show the very best play
possible, as the clubs in England are not as
yet in form TO offer strong opposition 10 a
crack Canadian I velve. OF course this in
creases very largely the cost OF the venture,
especially as upon no account will the Cana
dams permit the Indians to go outside OF their
lacrosse engagement. The contests between
these two crack teams will be thoroughly in
earnest. as it was in 1876, and matches will be
played Canada vs.. England" canada vs.
Ireland, &C., sc. This viii likely be the
last time the Indians will visit England They
will be under the captaincy OF the chief who
was presented to Her Majesty the Queen in
1876
The clubs leave here Thursday by the steam
ship Sarnis aud It is hoped that having been
induced to play game at Presumpscot Park
prior to their departure, our cifizsus will show
their appreciation by literally patEouizing
this exciting exhibition of Canadian sport.
Tickets may be obtained on the grounds and
horse cars will leave the head Of Preble street.

will be called at p. N May I'd.

Hall last evening. The meeting was called to
order by Mr.. j. A. Gallagher, President of the

description Of the conventions recently held in
Philadelphia, to which he was delegate. In

Of the new organization, and read the plat
form adopted by tho Philadelphia convention
Mr.. John NJ. Todd followed in an ardent
speech. He denounced Irish landIordism as
an anomaly and disgrace to the nineteenth
century, and compared the struggle which now

which eliminated in tho civil war.

Serious Accident.

A serious and peculiar accident happened to
a brakeman on the freight train fr,m Law
re ce to Portland. which passed through Saco
at O'Clock Saturday afternoon. He was walk
ing along the top of car when nearing the
Boston & Maine depot, and at the Front street
bridge in Ssco, near Prentiss' grist mill, he
was struck on the forehead by cross beam.
The force Of the blow laid the scalp open and
knocked him insensible upon the top of the
car, where he lay until the ira was stopped
and he was taken down and helped to doc
tors near by. The injured mans name is
Hayes and he lives in Portland, where his wife
is lying sick at present. The roof Of the car
Oh which he was walking was fiat; had it been
sloping he must have been thrown off and
likely killed.

The Boy of Today.

Tomorrow evening, in Congress Square
Church, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore will lecture
on the boy Of Today" under the auspices Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
Mrs. Livermore has justly been a great favor
lite with tho public for many years, not only as
lecturer, but because she has been and Is q
power in the land on the side OF reformatory
ana philanthroplc movements. During the
war Of the rebellion, her toll was simply ire
mendous She was prominent leader in the
sanitary commission, and the story Of her de-
votion to our soldiers Is too we'll known to
need repeating The Fitchburg Journal says;
much OF Mrs. Livermore's power lies In
her quiet dignity, her clean-cut, finished
ennnciation. and her earnestness in her sub
ject. Her strength is in the fact that behind
the lecturer there Is true woman, whose
heart is pure and sympathetic, and whose soul
Is in her work.
The lecture will commence at 745, and
tickets can be obtained at the door.

high standard and making great improve
ments. The most noticeable is a new and ele-
CANT ladies' parlor on the first floor. The floor
is covered with rich Brussels carpet, and the

blending of color. The halls on the first and
second floors have been newly carpeted with
soft. yielding Brussels, new chairs have been
placed in the dining room, tue walters have
been furnished with broadcloth dress coats, the
bell boys have blue suits with uniform but
tons, the chambermaids will all be dressed
alike with white aprons and caps.
