Linen Wall Protectors.

The prettiest wall protectors are now made
of art linen or monte cloth. These can be
purchased all ready ornamented with drawn
work fringed and stamped for outline EN-
broidery, but they also can be made of the
creamy linen and decorated to ones taste.
Take one yard of three-quarters width linen
and shrink it, Then haste an inch and half
hem all around it, cutting out the corners
and fastening them neatly down. Draw out
the threads an inch in width, and work in
drawn-work; or the lower edge of the pro-
tector can be fringed, and the other sides
hemmed, or the whole can be trimmed
around with wide lace of any pattern. Draw
your patters in outline with a pencil, and
work it with wash silk or crewels. Long
sprays of nasturtiums, vines and flowers, or
of morning glories, or of sweet peas, will or
nament protector tdstefully. The worker
can exercise her ingenuity, aud take her col
orings from nature if she pleases. A spray
of coral honeysnckle, with flowers, leaves
and branches and butterflies lowering over
them, would make very handsome pattern
for bedroom"

tons with which they are perfectly satisfied,
the case is very different. The striking tele-
graphers are clearly in the wrong when they
seek to interfere with the operators en-
ployed on the railroads in the discharge of
their customary duties, in order, by such in
reference, to promote the success of the
existing strike. The leaders of the strike
profess to regret the so-called necessity for
this action. I'VE were very sorry to
take such a STEP" says Mr.. Campbell, one of
the most prominent of the strikers. but we
had 10 do it. The public will be seriously
incommoded. 1t practically cuts off people
in small towns from Geographic communi-
cotton with the rest of the world, but we
cannot in justice to ourselves, consider the
interests of the public in this matter. We
must win, and We must do whatever is neces-
sary to win" This declaration is based on
the old and immoral doctrine that the end
justifies the means. When Mr. Campbell
says that he and his associates cannot con-
slider the interests of the public in the matter
of the telegraph business, he merely gives
utterance in another form to the same senti-
ment more terSely expressed some time ago
by Mr.. William Fl. Vanderbiltin those memoir
able words: THE public be damnedl' We can
not see that such a proclamation of indif-
ference to the public interest is any more
eredtable to the striking telegraphers than
it was to the foolish millionaire. I'VE must
win" says Mr. Compbell, land we must do
whatever is necessary to win" We advise
him to change this proposition little and
say: I'VE must win, and we must do what
ever is right to win." That is the only way
to succeed

Operators from England.

Boston Herald
Conscious at the beginning of its determi-
nation to fight the Brotherhood to the end
the Western Union lost no time in prepar-
ing for the coming emergency 1t had for
several weeks been lnstructing pupils in an
obscure quarter in New York, and on the
day the operators went out there sailed from
England half dozen skilled manipulators
of the key, and several more have followed
in subsequent steamers. The half-dozen pio-
neers arrived in New York yesterday morn
ing, and three of them came on to Boston
last night They will commence work to-
morrow morning in State street, and the
three left in New York will report for duty
at the main Office in chat city at the same
hour Inasmuch as they have knowledge of
the continental alphabet only, the men at
this end of the line will only be serviceable
when their own brethren are at the other
end The importation of operators from
abroad to fill the places of the strikers is not
indicative OF disposition on the part of the
Western Union to surrender to the demands
of the Brotherhood

King Humbert Visits Ischia.

NAPLES, Aug 2.-King Humbert yesterday
visited the scene of the earthquake at Ischia,
and went over the ruins OF the destroyed
town. He expressed the deepest sympathy
with the sufferers, and directed the distribu-
ton of money and provisions to those in
need. Another severe shock of earthquake
was felt on the island last evening, which
put stop to the work of searching the ruins
for bodies of victims. 1t is believed that
some persons buried under the falling build

alive in the ruins.
King Humbert visited the hospitals in

disaster. The same paper estimates that 5000

New York Correspondence Boston Journal
The longer the telegraphers' strike contin-
ues the more thoroughly am 1 convinced
that the leadership of the strike is incompe-
tent. The strikers would have been better
OF without any connection with the Knights
OF Labor, whose committee assumes to dictate
upon what terms the men shall go back to
work. The companies have, very naturally
resented this interference of foreign power
between the two parties most concerned, and
have more than once expressed Willingness
to compromise if it could be done by treating
directly with the men instead of the Knights
of Labor. There is a spirit of aggressive COM
munism of a mild type evident in
the speeches made at the strikers
meetings which disturbs employers;
the character of the men invited to
the platform has been far from such as the
strikers best friends would have liked to see.
Vindictive speeches in abuse of capital. jay
Gould and the Western Union company have
been heard day after day, accompanied BY
senseless applause or good-natured laughter
from the most intelligent OF the men. If
the strike fails utterly, which / hope most
sincerely will not DE the case, for the men
are underpaid and overworked, it will be
due to want of hard, serious work on the
part OF the strikers themselves in the way of
organizing the movement, drawing recruits
away from the company, and conducting
their affairs in sober, quiet manner which
would have impressed the community far
more than the reports of the nonsense which
has gone on. No matter what ignorant or
designing gss-bag appears at the meetings. he
is allowed to spout his illogical stuff, wasting
the time of the meeting and bringing the
whole proceedings into disrepute
