The officers of the North­ er' tl s western railroad assert that of the * i TBS STRIKB. A somewhat formidable strike among telegraph operators throughout the United States and Canada was inau­ gurated about noon July 19th. It is understood to have* Wen ordered by the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, On Monday, the 16th. a committee of the discontented operators presented a pe­ tition t«» the Western Union Telegraph Company, in New York, asking for an increase of fifteen per cenr.. in the wages of the operators, the equalization of the wages of the men and women operators, and a shortening of the hours of labor. Their demands not being conceded by the company, the strike was ordered. The result was the seri­ ous crippling of the working ability of the companies, though accounts have been somewhat conflicting, reports t'r»m the companies naturally putting the best face upon the matter for their side, while the strikets appeared well satisfied with the course of things, and expressed confidence In the success of their scheme. By calling in operators from branch offices, haying men do double duty, employing old oporatives who had retired from the business, etc., the companies managed to keep tilings going after a fashion, but the business of the huavy offices has been reduced from a third to a half, and the smaller offices are working* at a great disadvantage, n« It i* very difficult to get messages through /or any consider­ able distance. , On account-of the serious detriment to business In general which a continu­ ance of the strike must cause, the prog­ ress of the movement is watched with great interest, not to say anxiety, throughout the country. The latest reports Are that there are no indica­ tions ot a disposition to yield, either on the part of the telegraph companies or of the strikers. But the weiglu of evidence tends to the conviction thai the telegraph com­ panies are in worse shape than they say they are. Ic is not possible to over­ look the fact that, tor news of the progress and efiects of the strike, the country is dependent almost wholly upon the corporations against whom the strike Is aimed. Of course they can be trusted to make the news just as favorable to their side of the battle as Is { os8ible. Public sentiment-always plays a powerful part in contests of this sort. The striking operators un­ derstand this, and exhibit the greatest eagerness to spread statements of their grievances among the people, and to get expressions of theirside of the case iuto the papers. The telegraph com­ panies also understand this, and evince their solicitude for the favor of the country by giving precedence over all other matter to press reports. All other telegraptlic business has felt the crip­ pling eflecis of the strike, but the newspapers have been allowed to suffer all. We Riling from the Dirt. The.Yankee slap-dash energy has at last takeu hoUlof Lower Wesp Virginia aud that couutry Is undergoing an In­ dustrial revolution, A correspondent of the New York Tribune write*: "The greatest excitement of the mo­ ment is the oil fields in the vicinity of I'arkersburg, which promlseswell. Two 300-harrel wells have been struck there within the past few weeks, mid a num­ ber of emaller ones, and. al though there are no "gushers,' the dry holes are few. This naturally attracted a number of oil men from New York and I'euusyl vauia, and the result is a large influx from those States, Many ot them are busily engaged at present negotiating for territory, and already some of them have been successful in striking the best quality of petroleum in paying quantities. Parkersburg, the Oil C!ly of West Virginia. Is on the boom, and people are eagerly flocking In." Other reports are to the effect that nearly a dozen new railroads are either projected or in course of construction, and that English capital as well as Yankee capital and skill is rapidly pouring into that region of salt brine, petroleum oil, coal and iron. Bow Family Secrets go Out, Liicy Hooper writes from Paris that notorious Parisian journals get their accounts of family secrets from the servants of the house. This has been done in New York by tnore than one "keen-witted vallet or lady's maid"-- the making of money by revealing their masters' or mistresses' secrets. A few years ago a prominent gentleman here found the conversations at his din­ ner repeated word for word in a morn­ ing paper. He finally questioned his waiter, who confessed that he belonged to a waiters' club, and that he was well paid by a reporter who came nightly to gain information. A lady recently dismissed almost accomplished butler because he was seen writing at. odd hours, and as she had reason to believe that he was putting down the conver­ sations which he overheard. As she had been betrayed by a wicked gov­ erness a month before, she was natur­ ally suspicious. A stray fragment, however, of the butlerian foolscap re­ deemed his reputation, for it was found to be a sensational novel.--Boston T r a v e l e r . < " " IP--' emigration to Dakota probably not more than * one-tenth are of foreign birth.

The Tribune, in speaking of him savs: **Mr. Hoyne had been identified with thit city almost from its infancy, and played uo inconspicuous part in its his­ tory. A lawyer by profession, he had long boon one of the leaders at the bar. A public-spirited citizen, he was prom­ inent in every movement that looked to advancing the welfare of bis chosen borne. After more than sixty years, filled with a measure of success that is the lot of few men. he has been gath­ ered to his fathers, and another of the tie* th'it linked the young and feeble Chicago with the wealthy and prosper­ ous community of to-day has been broken."

It printed two columns of special tele­ grams of the most sensational charac­ ter. One gave the details of the elope­ ment of Mrs. Langtry with Samuel J.

Anotheir telegram, having a local significance, is as follows: CHICAGO, July 19.--By the breaking of a rope Htiaclied to the elevator on which lie was ascending to the third floor of the City Hall this morning.

He pnts his best foot for­ ward with the newspapers solely for the purpose of impressing the puf>)ic with the tidtiou that the strike amounts to nothing. But it really amounts to a great deal. The first spurt of energy with which the few remaining operators went at the work of the whole telegraph sys­ tem, is exhausted. A small portion of the recruits are skilled workmen; the great bulk ol them are novices whose room I* worth as lunch as (heir com­ pany. In many oi the larger cities the telegraph offices are practically closed, so far as general business goes. -There are no stories of strikers returning, but there are statement*-^? their deter­ mination and good spirits, and of addi­ tions to their numbers in certain sec­ tions, and there are ugly rumors afloat of a forthcoming strike among the rail road operators. One hateful phase of too many strikes begins to show itfc head here and there --the suggestion of cutting the lines and destroying property. The strikers cannot too swiftly and stoutly silence the few hot heads among them capable of this sort of talk.--Albany Journal^ If any one doubts the efficacy of the mad-stone, lot 'that person take wisdom frOm evidence to the contrary, A young man In Delaware was attacked by hydrophobia, and every means of assistance failed of the desired result. Finally a inadstone,owned by a family in the county for seventy years, was applied to the young man, fetching him out of a comatose state and per­ ceptibly benefiting him, as the veraci­ ous chronicles have it. The stone is of lead color, and lopks like a piece of petrified honeycomb. It was boiled in milk until it became very hot. The wound made by the dog-bite was then washed until it begun to bleed, at which time the stone was applied. It drew the skin similar to tne "tupping" process. The patient began trembling violently, as though about to undergo another paroxysm, and blood and im­ pure matter began to ooze through the top of the stone. After a while the patient became perfectly calm. The stone remained on the wound three- quarters of an hour, drawing three ounces of blooj; and*then dropped off like a full leech. There is now every Indication that the patient will recover The owners of the stone declare it has never failed to cure a case of,hydro­ phobia II taken in time. ^ Wf • % i' s f\ •9"An old man ninety-three years of age, a native of Spain, has just re­ turned from this country, where he has been living many years, to his native laud.

It is asserted by a San Frftwlsco paper that leprosy is becoming more and more frequent among the Caucas­ ians of tbe Pacific coast. It used to be held that leprosy was .not contagious, and that it rarely if ever affected white people, but the California experience has been painfully to the contrary. Just now the case of Erick Erickson, a Swedish sailor, Is attracting attention. He is lying at the pest-house, step by step approaching a horrible, loathsome death. He came from Merced. A year ago he noticed a peculiar swelling of the hands. This symptom was followed by the appearance of large, red blotches and pustules on his arms and legs. They resembled the signs of the tertiary of a venereal disease, and EHcksou was at first treated for that disorder. But the remedies were unavailing.
