Lady Telegraphers.

The office telegrapher sat listening to
the ticking of his instrument with pc
culiarly seraphic smile on his face,
when a reporter interrupted him with
the remark:
I'll bet ten to one there's a female
operator on the other end of that wire,
and what she's sending is a special for
you and not for the paper
ct is certainly a lady who is sending
the message" said the telegrapher,
''and she is doing it very well, indeed.
There are many excellent operators
among the women, and though they
cannot do such hard work as man,
they send messages in very good
shape"
Are you sure just who it is that is
lending?"
Certainly. can tell as quickly as
/ could recognize friends handwrit-
ing. Each operator acquires peculiar
style of handling a key, and there is
not much difficulty in recognizing a
sender when once the style is known

from?"
1.-The city telegraph operators are
supplied mostly by young men who
have learned the business in country
offices. In many cases the son of a
country telegrapher learns the art from
his father in spare moments and finally
succeeds him in the business. For a
time he is satisfied with his position,
and the novelty of 'buzzing' a female
operator in a town thirty miles distant
is very pleasing, but soon he gets to
talking to city operators over the wires,
and when he finds out what they are
paid he becomes dissatisfied with his
own little salary of matchmaking a
month and find himself, and so deserts
his post for the city. These young fell
lows from the country make very good
operators, for as rule they begin to
learn when they are thirteen or four
teen years old, and that an operator
should begin young is positively essen
tial to his success. They say a person
can never be good violinist unless he
begins when child, and it is much the
same way with telegraph operator.
They begin early and generally leave
the business before they are old; not
that they retire on fortune, but they
drift out into some occupation, as most
of them intended TO do when they first
began to handle a key. boston Globe.

Mrs. Siddons and Her Porter.

On one excessively hot evening, when
playing at Leeds, Mrs. Siddons, while
behind the scenes, exhausted by thirst,
desired to have some porter. Her
dresser dispatched boy in great haste
''to bring some beer for Mrs. Siddons,"
at the same time charging him to be
quick, as she was about to 90 on the
stage. In the meantime the play, of
course, proceeded. The boy, on his re-
turn, looked in vain for Mrs. Siddons.
She had gone on with her part, and the
scene -shifter, to whom he applied,
pointed to her where she was treading
the board in death-like solemnity as
Lady Macbeth in the sleep-walking
scene. To the surprise and horror of
all the performers, the boy, with the
frothing pot in his hand, promptly
walked up to her and offered it. She
attempted to wave him away, in her
grand manner, without effect. but the
absurdity had now caught the general
eve. The people behind the scenes, by
dint of reckoning, stamping, and call
ing in half-audible whispers, at length
succeeded in getting him away spilling.

After Open-W Worked Sleeves, What2

The lace sleeve is in effect peace
Offering to the woman who cannot boast

used as to make any arm assume fair

tanned a foothold on the streets, does
any one believe that the fair insurrec-
tionists will be content to 90 no further
than the lace sleeve? 1t is not in the
nature of an insurrectiOnary movement
to stop at the first flush of victory, and
certainly it cannot be expected that any
insurrectionary movement with pretty
women at the bottom of it will be salts

character as lace sleeve. The pre-
sumptiOns are all IN favor OF the fair

monarch invited the downfall of a

apparel in so far as to decree what the

elect to appear on the streets with arms

United States Circui, Court to day,
Judge Billings presiding, District A,tor-
ney Leonard moved the court to assign
the balance Of The election cases now
pending for trial. Judge Billings replied
that the cases had drawn against his time
considerably and that other business Of
the court had to be neglected on that
account. He gave history Of the cases
tried and the enormous amount of labor
and time that was consumed in the trials
aud legal exceptions and objections. He
had no objection to assigning the cases
but he stated that he would not try them.
In other words. another judge would
have to sit. The impression prevails
here that Justice Wood, Of the Supreme
Court, will preside il the Department Of
Justice desires the trials To proceed.

THE RAILROAD .SyuscrsoN CASE.

The hearing fixed before Judge Wal
lace at Greenyille last week, in the mat
ter of certain taxpayers of Anderson
County asking IN injunction against the
collection Of the taxes voted to the Sa-
vannah Valley Railroad, resulted in d
continuance of the temporary injunction
granted about two month ago. This will
carry the case over to the June term Of
Court for this County, when the matter
will be finally determined upon ts mer-
its. The Plaintiffs were represented by
Messrs. Benet and Scudday, and the
Railroad Defendant by Maj. Il. J.. Whit
ner. The continuance of the injunction
il decided advantage to the Plaintiffs,
though it is by no means decisive of the
case. Fortunately for the Company, the
greater part of the taxes which would
have been affected 10y this suit have been
paid, SO that out Of the original fifty
thousand dollars voted less than one
thousand dollars is involved in the
suit. The issues made do not, rs has
been stated, involve the validity Of the
charter Of the Company, but simply the
validity Of the taxes voted under the
charter. Hence, if the Plaintiffs sue
recd, which, we repeat, is by no means
assured, it will only lose the company the
one thousand dollars of unpaid taxes,
and will not in any way materially affect
the completion Of the Road.
