THE TELEGRAPHIC WAR.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Affairs at
the Office of the Western Union COM
pany seemed to be in a better condi-
ton this morning than at any time
since the strike. Over three hundred
operators were at the desks. and all
important wires have been fully
manned. The only delays in handling
business this morning were for points
west of Buffalo and Pittsburg, where
1t was reported considerable damage
had been done by storms yesterday to
the wires of the company.

New YORK, July 24.-The Western
Union telegraph company'S officials,
in order to meet in an official manner
the numerous inquiries addressed to
them regarding business and the in
fiuence and progress of tie strike,
have determined to make, twice a day,
a statement for the press of the coun-
try. 1t is learned at o'clock to-day,
according to cempanY'S log, restored
business up and in good shape. They
were sending on three wires to New
Orleans with only fifty messages on
hand I; they were up on Pittsburg and
Buffalo, but business west of Pitts
burg and Buffalo was two or three
hours behind, and business to st. Louis
was several hours behind. Business
bound west of Chicago was in good
shape and up, but all that coming
east by way of Chicago was consider
ably delayed there on account of
trouble on the wires between Pitts
burg, Buffalo and the West.

APPLICATIONS FOR TROOPS.

Gov. Ireland writes, July "a, in an
swer to application from parties at
Cuero for protection of the troops, as
follows: -
"Gentlemen-I am in receipt of
your favor of the 21st. So soon as
Gen. King returns l will see what ad,

tention to the fact that it will be i'm

your county to keep people from steal

if possible, to employ the little force
at my command in assisting the civil
authorities in making arrests and en-
forcing the law, and suggest to you
the necessity of employing suffi-
blent force, of your own to at least
learn who the depredators are, so that
afiidayits may be filed and arrests
ordered. If this cannot be done,
then troops can do you no good. In

Not Luck.

Profit and loss in agricultural pur-
suits are not by any means the mat
ter ii blind chance which they are so
often taken to be. The idea of many
a man is to go ahead on fixed plan
under all circumstances, expecting
with propitious season to come out
well, and with an unfavorable one to
come out poorly, regardless of any
thing he may do by his own effort.
In short, he gives his crops start,
and leaves the season to take care of
them. OF course no one will dispute
importance of a favorable sea-
son in agricultural operations:
The proper alterations of
rain and sunshine are more
to the farmer than can be easily old.
The extremes of drouth and flood are
frequently full of disaster such as no
man engaged in any other pursuit can
understand or fully appreciate. For
this reason the result of agricultural
work must always, to greater or
less extent, be matter of circum-
stance. But it is equally true that
the observing, thoughtful, energetic
farmer can do much both in the Way
of taking increased advantage of
the good season and in miti-
eating the evils of bad one.
A careful study of the needs of
his farm will enable him to adapt his
location of crops, his planting, his fer
tilization and his cultivation to the
special requirements of any season.
He does not so much need to fight
nature as to assist nature; and by
bringing intelligence to bear on the
work before him he can accomplish
much more than he would at first
think possible. A thoughtful study
of the needs of his farm will in a
term of years very materially affect
the profit and loss account OF any
farmer.

SUNDAY In MISSOURI.
The Governor says the Law shall
be Enforced.

ST. LOUIS, July 24.-Gov. Critten-
den and party left Jefferso n City yes
terday on trip to Utah. Last week
he wrote a letter to the police board
of this city referring to the enfoce-
ment of the new Sunday law, and
pointedly criticised the police board
for delay and inaction. The governor
says he hopes before his return the
Sunday law will be executed, and
says it is due to the police board to
enforce it. and he is determined it
shall be done. Further, he says the
police board have no right to wait
for the action of the city council;
that the law has been declared consti-
tuition by the supreme court, and
must and shall be enforced. The let
ter is very pointed ana in effect init
mates that members of the po-
lice board must either enforce
the Sunday law or resign.
What the police commissioners
do is not yet known, but it is thought
probable that some will resign.

Could not Stand the Strain.
Philadelphia Record.]

After career of four days a daily
newspaper started in Elmira last
Monday gave up the ghost. The
brief duration of its ext stence is not
more extraordinary than the reason
assigned for its decease, the excuse
being that the editors nerves could
not stand the strain of editorial work.
But it is good reason, all the same,
and it is a pity more papers which are
suffering from the same cause do not
give their editors relief in the same
Way.

Mr.. THOMAS A. HOWARD, of Honey Grove

1885, writes as follows:
81 have been suffering during several years
from severe illness, and general breaking

the treatment and prescriptions of many doc
tors far and near, and Travelled to the Hot

their remedial qualities, drinking the waters
and bathing Systematically in their healing
depths, but all to no avail, as 1 steadily failed
in health; and although informed by my ply
sicians that my ailments and weaknesses were
the result of kidney disease of dangerous
character, they could give me nothing to cure
me. During the past two years my sufferiDgs
at times were dreadful, and 1 had the most
indescribable pains in the regions about the
kidneys, the paroxysms of which were so Sc
we're as to render it impossible for me to sleep.

All are agreed, says the Lancet,
that bathing is a healthful practice.
First, because it is cleanly, and sec
ond, because it is a necessary precau-
ton against risks by drowning. We
are fully prepared to endorse the pro
position that boys should q allowed
to battle as often and as freely as may
be practicable. 1t is, however, neces-
sary to raise a protest against the
recklessness which too commonly at
tends the recourse to bathing as an
exceptional, OF at least q seasonable,
exercise by those who are Eager
enough, but not physically fit, to
battle. There is practically less danger
in bathing all the year round than in
doing so only at certain periods.
