THE spirit i'll which some of the
magnates Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company aIlude to the striking
operators, does not promise an early
settlement of the difficulty. Russell
Sage, Jay Gould's ally in all stock
jObbing operations, and the shrewdest
and most unconscionable gambler in
Wall street his speciality is selling
puts" and "calls" says:
The company will not compromise,
and the public will sustain the COM
pany in its position. Why, there
would be no use for directors if we
should allow parcel of operators to
regulate their own wages The whole
thing is ridiculous and absurd. Unjust
say that [ am surprised that the men
should have struck. [ looked for bet
ter things from men SO intelligent as
most operators are. They have put
themselves ON a level with miners and
laborers, with the most ignorant men,
who are satisfied with 81 a day. You
would expect that they would strike
for better things Take them back?
Not one of them, unless he gives up
his connection with this brotherhood.
On no other terms will one of them
ever work for the Western Union
again, if | have anything to say about
it.

[ Don't Want Anything.

How many feel as they sit down to the
breakfast table that they have no appe-
tite. and when asked for their preference
at the dinner table, reply: "Oh, don't
want anything" Ii is sad picture to
see a loved one gradually fading away.
to observe the lustre of their ewes grad
ually growing lifeleSs and dim, especial
ly SO when we know if their appetite
would only return. if they would only
eat and could digest nutritious food.
how soon health and strength would
take the place of languOr and debility.
In rescuing an invalid from such de-
plorable condition of health, natures
best assistant is some true tonic, some
natural appetizer, something that will
enter into the composition Of the blood
and awaken it from it's Sluggishness.
Such remedy is Browns Iron Bitters
It's iron principle Immediately assimi-
lates with the blood, making up the nat
ural waste that great stream of life
must suffer, when disease is master.
This true iron and non-alcoholic medi-
cine imparts a natural appetite for
healthful food. 1t is a sure reviver and
strengthened, and is a reliable cure for
dyspepsia, indigestion, intermittent fe-
yers, want of appetite, loss of strength,
lack of energy, etc. Try one bottle.
Giuseppe Verdi is probable one of
the richest musical composers in the
world. He is also one Of the most
benevolent. The poor of Busseto, his
home city in Italy, call him blessed,
for his gold-flled hand is ever open
and outstretched to alleviate their suf-
ferings. He is now building, and
will fully furnish. and literally en-
dow, fine hospital for the poor of
that town, which will soon be opened
for use.
Not drink. not sold in barrOoms, but a reliable
non-alcOholc tonic medicine. useful at all times,
and in all seasons, is Browns Iron Bitters.
The name of Abraham Reucher,
who died in North Carolina, on the
6thof July, at the age of So, will be
new to the most of our readers, but he
had been d member of congress, min
lister to Portugal and governor of
New Mexico, and President Buchanan
offered him the secretaryship of the
navy.

BURYING SOAP.
A Singular Incident of Mr.. Loper's
Tragic Fate.


Tragic Fate.
After the death of J. r. Loper bv
falling into vat of boiling soap,
some were asking themselves and 9th
ers what would be done with the ma
terlal thus III preparatiOn-whether it
would be manufactured into soap or
thrown away. 1t was worth between
$500 and $500, and it was thought by
some that it certainly should be man
ufactured as was originally intended.
When the matter was spoken about,
a strong feeling was manifested against
the use of it. Some have carried the
idea SO far that they would never
knowingly use any soap in the factory
after that sad accident. The family
representatives of the deceased Mr..
Lopez never entertained any but the
one idea, and that was to destroy all
the material that was being made into
soap at the factory at the time of the
death, and in consequence the brother
of the deceased, Mr. John Lopez, had
it all taken out and buried in pits and
drains prepared for that purpose.
In cleaning out the vat fragment
of belt was found, and also a linen
handkerchief, the latter in a state of
perfect preservation, with the name Of
Mr.. Lopez clearly visible in indelible
ink, the lye. and other substances to
which it was exposed not seeming to
have acted upon it III any manner
whatever.

THE publication of the names of
persons who are drawing pensions
from the government, as ordered by
the last congress, will do much toward
sitting out the imposters. This publ
cation ought to be bound in parts by
counties, and a copy should be placed
in the postoffice of every town, where
it can be examined as closely as the
poll-list. The receipt of a pension is
not stigma of disgrace, but token
Of honor, and there ought to be no
more precious heirloom in family
than a certificate showing the claim of
a veteran, or widow or an orphan
upon the gratitude of the country.

Sum Spots and the Seasons.

FROM the New YORK Herald.
Judging by the number and violence Of the
atmospheric disturbances reported all over the
world during the recent maximum display of
solar activity, the sun spot theorists seem to
have made out clear case. According to the
best astronomical authorities the relative values
of observed sun spots steadily increased "a in
1873 to 81 in 1881, and further increased last
year, but are probably now at the maximum or
on the decline Mr.. Garrett P. Serviss in the
last issue of the Popular Science Monthly. re-
ferrng to the multiplied magnetic storms, cy-
clones, tornadoes and floods of the past two
years .forcby suggests that they furnish "a good
deal of evidence in favor Of the views of
those, who think connection cad(be traced be-
tween sun spots and the weather" Perhaps
still more striking evidence OF this connection
Will be seen by some in the returns of sea cas-
ualties for 1oS1-'S2, made to the London Board
of Trade last month. A very serious increase In
the number Of vessels lost by all classes Of cas-
ualties in that year as compared with the aver
age OF the five previous years Is officially re-
ported. How much of this increase is to be
laid at the door Of the weather. and how
much to the rottenness Of the lost ships and
the carelessness of their owners and crews.
cannot be determined. But, however that may
be, it is worthy Of note that if there is
any reliance to be put on the sun-spot theory
the recent maximum Of spottedness Is passing
away and we may hope for a more quiescent
state of terrestrial weather. very competent
scientific authority announced this spring to the
Royal Society Of Edinburgh that he finds that
"the maximum heat given off by the sun is
when the sun spot period is at the maximum
and the minimum heat given off is when the sun
spots are at the minimum" Upon this showing
1t may be expected that the coming season
while possibly warmer than the average sum-
mer, will not be phenomena.ly hot. But no
trustworthy forecast Of the season based on
cyclical solar changes Is possible in the present
state Of solar science.
