Married folks Would be Happier
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship days.
If they kissed and made up at once
after every quarrel.
If each would try to be real sup
port and comfort to the other.
If household expenses were always
proportioned to the receipts.
If each remembered the other was
practically a human being, not an
angel.
If women were as kind to their
husbands as they are to their lovers.
If men were as thoughtful for
their wives as they were for them
when sweethearts.
If both parties remembered they
were married for worse as well as for
better.
If there were fewer silks and velvet
street costumes, and more plain, tidy
house dresses, and street ones too, for
that matter.
If there were fewer "please dar-
lings" in public and more common
manners in private.
If wives and husbands would take
their pleasure as they go along, and
not degenerate into mere toiling ma
chimes. Recreation is necessary to
keep the heart in its place, and to try
and get along without it is a big mis-
take.

THE TELEGRAPHIC TURMOIL,
The Situation Unchanged.


New YORK, August 1.-The situa-
tion of the telegraphic strike is about
the same. Rumors of an important
movement soon to occur on the part
OF the strikers are afloat, but nothing
can be learned regarding it. Busi-
ness is apparently going on smoothly
at the Western Union telegraph
offices. All operators were paid off
yesterday and were at work this
morning. Strikers who desired
money were paid OFF by the Brother
hood.
PREVENTING WORK.
Word was received at police head
quarters to-day that a number of
striking telegraph operators and line
men had assembled up town and were
preventing linemen belonging to the
department of charities and correc-
tions from climbing poles to repair
wires, and force of police was sent
to the scene.
OBSTRUCTING WIRES
Early this morning the police tele-
graph circuit running south from
headquarters refused to work, and
when daylight came linemen who
were sent out by the department
found, not far from headquarters,
some one had climbed pole and
wound a heavy piece of wire around
the forty or fifty wires that run
through the street, punching them all
together. The distractions were re-
moved.
NO ACTION TAKEN.
NEW YORK, August 1.-The execu-
tive committee of the Western Union
telegraph company met, but no action
was taken in regard to the strike.
EXTENDING THE STRIKE.
DETROIT, August 1.-The operators
in the Mutual Union Office at Grand
Rapids, in obedience to orders from the
executive committee of the brother
hood, left their instruments this morn
ing. Railroad operators, about forty
in number. also received orders not to
do any commercial work.
CUTTING THE WIRES.
CAICAGo, August 1.-All notices of
subject to delay" are removed from
the offices through the western dis
trict of the Western Union Telegraph
company to-day. Officers of the COM
pany report that seven wires along the
line of the Northwestern road. near
Waukegan, ILL.,, were cut this morn
ing, but were repaired during the
afternoon. EuI
Master Workman Morris, of the
Brotherhood, has addressed a letter to
Superintendent Clowry, declaring
that, if he believed the cutting of the
wires was caused by Brotherhood
men, the brotherhood will send out
linemen in each instance to repair the

The telegraphers have shown by
their terms with the American Rapid

1T REMAINS to be seen what sup

the Virginia Republicans in their
efforts TO overthrow Mahoneism. If
the party had not long ago lost its
sense of decency, the knowledge that
it must depend upon such fellows as
Malone and Riddleberger for its con-

ang to it. Once it had principles. but
now it lives only for plunder.

THEsquestion is being pretty gen.
orally debated whether the telegraph
companies are liable for damages in
delaying the sending of messages.
The attorneys of the companies hold
that the charters of the companies
allow then to make rules about the
sending of messages, and they have
made a rule that they viii take all
messages subject to delay. On the
other hand, it is argued, and appar-
emily much more forcibly, that there
can be no rules which authorize a
general or partial suspension Of the
duty of receiving and transmitting
messages.

CONSIDERING the valuable services
rendered by Chandler to Mr.. Hayes in
1876, one would imagine the the latter
would have speeded to Concord to

stroyed except for the energetic efforts Of the
citizens, and many surrounding buildings
must have gone gone, especially Carroll, Gil
bert & Co.'s lumber yard. Water lines were
formed from different wells and buckets
handed from hand to hand, and in this way
good work was done. Soaked blankets hang
ing from roofs were numerous, and every man
present was hard at work This is the third

A COMPROMISE.

We rise to offer a compromise in the
matter of the telegraph strike. We
propose that the operators Of the
country form themselves into sy1adi-.
cate to work the lines of the Western
Union company, accepting as their
compensation only such portion Of
the revenues as shall be in excess of
ten per cent interest on dividends on
the actual paid up capital stock Of the
company. This arrangement would
afford safe and good income, and if
any loss should be sustained it would
fail on the operators, and not on the
stockholders. Nevertheless, should
the company signify its willingness to
accept such an offer we have reason
to believe that it would be made.

thence with it. SIT is good time,' -
