The Striking Operators.

An. Y. dispatch of the lst says:
The situation Of the telegraphers'
strike is about the same. There are
rumors Of an important movement
soon to occur on the part of the
strikers, but nothing can be learned
regarding it. Business is apparently
going smoothly at the Western Union,
all the operators paid off yesterday
were at work this morning. The
strikers who desired money were paid
of by the Brotherhood to-day. Word
was received at police headquarters at
noon to-day that a number Of striking
operators and linemen had assembled
up town and were preventing two
linemen belonging to the Department
Of Charities and Corrections from
climbing poles to repair wires. A
force of police were sent to the scene.
Early this morning the police tele-
graph circuit running south from
headquarters refused to work. When
daylight came, the linemen who were
sent out by the department found
that not far from headquarters some
one had climbed the pole, and piece
Of heavy wire was wound around
forty or fifty wires that ran through
the street, punching them all together,
and all the circuits were thus disabled.
( The obstacle was removed.

Dentistry Under Difficulties

There is something peculiarly fasci-
mating about the occupsnion of s.
dentist. True. he looks "doun in the
mouth" but only in a professional
sense, and as for giving pain, though
he does inhict a good deal of
anguish on quivering nerves, yet 1t Is
unavoidable. At least that is the
general view of his patients, though
We heard yesterday Of an impatient
patient who thought differently. He
was large man, physically speaking,
and told the polite manipulation of the
forceps he wanted tooth extracted.
Seating himinthe chair, the dentist got
hold Of the aching molar, and jammed
the forceps down to get good hold; !;
the sufferer yelled, ,prang from his
chair, and with fire flashing frcm his
eye (he only had one> he event for
the dentist. That party backed up
against the wall, and after lodging
one blow from his antagonist, he pulled
out a revolver and told him to stop.
The threat, coupled with the warlike
appearance of the now thoroughly
aroused dentist, had the desired eff
feet and the man whose toothache had
vanished, fed down the stairs This
plain, unvarnished tale illustrates
what may be termed dentistry under
dihicmlties.

Smoky Navigstlou.

The Astoria steamer Wide HsSt,
which should have returned to her
dock in this city Tuesday evening, did
not arrive until yesterday morning at
9 o'clock. She was delayed in leav-
ing here Tuesday morning over three
hours 10y the dense fog that added to
the smoke made the air too thick for
navigation. Consequently she did
not reach Astoria until two o'clock in
the afternoon. She left an hour later
on her return trip, having OF board a
number of our citizens who had been
spending the greater portion of July
by the sounding sea. Arriving at
st. Helens, the smoke and fog again
became so dense that the boat was
made fast TO await daylight --Orego-

As soon as the vessel now on the
stocks at Port Ludlow is launched,
the Puget Mill company will COM
mence the construction of a hull for a
tug boat, to eclipse anything in the
way of speed and power ever brought
to Puget Sound. The large compound
engines to drive this tug along have
been ordered built in the east, and
the boilers will be constructed of the
very best steel, at Port Gamble. The
new craft will be a propeller, and
will be longer, wider, and more
powerful than the tug Tacoma, OF
which Puget Saunders have been SC

Early risers yesterday morning
noticed dampness on the planks,
and from a general moisture in the air
the inference was that a shower had
fallen. Close observation established
the fact that there had few drops OF

occasioned the utmost surprise.

part of the wheat, flour and salmon.
went to foreign ports, principally
Queenstown and Liverpool; the lum-
Der was consigned to California, with
two exceptions. The above consti-
tute the principal items of exports.
