Not as do many lovers Tor both were ope rators nnd had charge of olllces whoso wires were too busy to permit auy war ol words ; but just enough spaco had occurred that morning for each to make tho other miserable. There had long been nn nlllnity between tho two of a stronger nature) than usually exists be tween telegraph operators. Nellio's tender touches upon the key could nlonu quiet the nervous twitching ot Kobin's arm when worn out by the rush of messages and train orders. She it was who seasoned tho magne tNiii of dots and dashes with a balm that kept his heart sweet and whole some. This she often did weaving tho good mornings and good cVcuings into icncility tetc-a-tctee. It no happened one winter evening that Ned Owons, tho operator at Pine Muff, a liulu station intervening bo ween Milldale and Fairfield, undo use of his ground wire, thus cutting off all communication between the lovers, but giving himself free scope to talk to his pretty and scintillating cousin, She, however Mas not kept in the daik as to the proceedings, and together they uniicncti'd o scheme to make the devot ed Hob Price jealoti. "It will bo such fun to know that Hob is fretting and fuming over a trouble that ho believes to bo caused by a fallen polo or it dislodged tree," snid the handsome Ned, his black eyes twinkling with mischief. "And I, in trying to round olf his surmises, will give a sudden hint of the truth, get red in the face, and ap pear much confused,'' continued the naughty Nellie, tapping her pretty toot atfliiously aga'.net the embroidered footstool that adorned the little ofllce. Poor Nellio Trumont 1 Little does sho dream that long hours of suffering must atono for short interva's of heart lessness and coquetry. So every day tho ground wire went on, just at tho time whon Robin had a few minutes of rest to talk with his atlianeed, but no answers camo to his repeated calls. "There is a ground north of me," he, repeated, and reported it to the main office. After testing the wires for some time tho trouble was located at Pine Bluff. Explanation was asked for, and tho wholcaonled Ned, confess ing that something had bewitched him in Milldale, was pardoned at the head quarters, and the matter dismissed. Hut into the heart of Kobin Price crept a dark suspicion, which no syllo gism of his sweetheart seemed true enough to obliterate. So a deep jeal ousy budded in his life, that each day unfolded nnd perfected. "I will leavo her," ho muttered. "Why toil and sweat out in existence for a creature who will perhaps wreck my manhood as she has threatened my youth '?'' And with these thoughts animating his purpose he seized the key and called "Md," signing "Fd," those being tho letters that designated tho two stations,Milldalu and Fairfield. Nollio recognized tho Btroko and, springing from her pet bird's cage to the table, opened the key and, nfter making several excited dots,sigued her oflice call "Md." "I leavo on 'No. 23' for California," were the words that Uio little brass sounder sang out. "To-night's express brings you a package and a letter that explains all. You huvo been false," the instrument continued to sing, and then came n pause and tho circuit closed.

How willingly sho would have told him all, not trying to hido tho scalding tears that forced their way down her burning cheeks. Hut it was too late. Hobin's fears were now confirmed. JIo was boarding tho train foi his west ern tour when some one slapped him on the shoulders, exclaiming, "Hello, old paid I What's tho latest from Milldale 1" Hut, seeing tho desperate glare in his rival's eye, ho drew back a foot or two.

Poor Nellio 1 Tho noxt few weeks wero long nnd empty, mo spring wind, instead of blossoming tho roses on her cheeks, kissed away tho flush and lelt her taco wan and expression less. Back and forth hIio went to the littlo ollice, which, like a neglected flower, had lost its freshness. Ihe cauary was drooping upon the perch from thirst nnd nunner, the desK was tn confusion, nnd everything about the room reflected tier feelings. t ho spring tuuo had mado many chances upon tho wire, Ned had do sorted his post and a now operator had tnken charge ot his ollice, which had nlways lieen u kiud ol playground for her, when sho gamboled at will. But now how changed 1 Sho would not daro to call this newcomer, who seem ed nlways rushed with business, and tho nii-lit operator at Fairfield had slipped into her lover's chair quite naturally, and taunted her with ninny an insinuation whenever sho asked for information or showed a willingness to converse. Sitting ono afternoon broodinc ovoi tho past and dreaming of tho far west sho was aroused from the lethargy by her instrument clattering out her ofllce call, and continuing to reneat the same until sho had duplicated tlie letters in nnswer. "Good evening, Miss N. I learned yesterday through Ned Owens, night man at airfield, that you wero a lady operator. Why havo you not called mo before this and driven awav tho 1886. spring fevor with your sprightlincss t" said the same little sounder that had been tolling n funeral knell for so long. "Good evening," was Nellio's timid response. "You seemed always occu pieu anu t tcarcu lof intrude." "Ha, ha," rattled tho relay and sounder, both seeming to enjoy the chango that had como over them." "Yon aro mistaken. Business is dull enough here. How do you pass your leisure timo T I do not hear you as often as I did as I did ahom 1 the lady operator on tho C. it A. line whoro I camo from." "Most any way," replied Nellie. "I crochet and make verses sometimes when there is n lull on the line." Then the demon of her old self camo back to her and revived her spirits. "How prettily you send," wrote tho dainty lingers. "Go ahead. I love to hear you." "Thanks,' said tho now operator, be ginning to make each 'sentence moro complex and throwing alternate reflec tions of sunshine and shadow into them, whidh fairly dazzled Nellie's po etic nature and mado an electrio tremor creep along her nerves and Hash through every libro of her hungry heart. "I hopo to havo many moro such chats with you. Good night. .Somo one's calling on No. 9." Thus it was that within tho spaco of half au hour, Nellie's heart had under gone a recreation, and something like tho old merriment crept into her bright eyes Every day"brought a warmer sunshine into her life, which was fast chasing away tho shadow I hat darken ed it, and all because Mio was loved by a strancer tho new operator. Try as she would, she could not help associat ing him with her truant lover. At times their touchps upon tho key were tho siino and tlieir expressions facsimi lies. One day sho assayed to ask in a seeminqly indifferent tono : "Did you over know 'B,' who work ed days at 'Fd ?' " "Know whom V clicked the instru ment in return. "Rob Price," replied Nellio with a tremble upon tho last dot. "Ha I Tho dunco who broke his heart over your piece of fun with Ned ? I should say I had hoard of him a few times.

"Certainly," retorted the Milldalo of (ice, and Nellie began, to smooth her brown hair and arrange tho p.ipers up on her desk as if it were dawn instead of twilight. That night her dreams were trouble some, and when the morning looked in the window there were tears upon her lashes. Sho mado a hasty toilet and sauntered off to the oflice,'wishing that a wreck would delay the early train. She had just unlocked the door and stood talking to little Jack, who was caroling in his cage, when the train whistled. The eugino pulled up slow ly to tho platform, and Ned Owens came bounding into the room, kissing her until her cheeks were aglow with blushes. "Nell," he said, "I beg a thousand pardons for abandoning you as I did, but I havo a surprise for you," and throwing the door wide open ho pre sented to her the now operator Kobin Price. Thero he stood, with extended arms, looking handsomer than ever, A'ith the same soft hair curling over his brow. JNellio uttered a little shriek and fell in his arms. Years and years have slipped by since then. Nellie is now a naupy mother who draws her children about her at twilight and tells them stories of her truant lover, of Ned, and the Now Operator... I. Jf. in Chicago lribunc. The Danger of Contagion in Throat Troubles. Tho medical editor ol Babyhood writes : .A recent case within our knowledge, in which fatal diphtheria developed upon what had been behoved to be a simple quinsy, suggests a few words regarding the duty of isolating any case of sore-throat where thero aro other children in tho house. Without entering upon any disputed points re garding diphtheria, it is generally u greed that tho distinctive, visible sign of it is its peculiar membranous deposit. A case may present cleatly tho condU itons of a "common sore-throat," and subsequently diphtheria be uumistak ably present. For one purpose it is unnecessary to discuss whether such cases are diphtheritic; from the first, or become so. Thu point for parents to know is tho sequenco of dangerous symptoms upon thoso apparently slight is iiui, iiiiuuiiimuii, mm inui. u is uciier for them to isolate a child hlty times unnecessarily than to bo neglectful once. Wo would urge, thon, that if it is at all possible, every child suffering from sore throat bo isolated until it is dis tinctiy convaiesooiit. rhysicians aro often embarrassed, in urging tho iso lation ot pationts, by the timidity iv suspiciousness of parents. If in such a caso ns lias neon described the phy sicinu recommends tho precaution of isolation, the family is of tho timid type, is at once thrown into a panic assuming that tho physician really con siders that thu case is diphtheria or i 'ii . i , iiiai. uu expcuis u win prove to ue, ami that ho is concealing the facts, wliilo renlly he is only taking proper sanitary precautions. utiicr persons, on tho other hand, immediately interpret the physician's IranK statement ot ins reasons for iso lating a supposed simple caso ns an evidence of want of knowledge on his part.

SUdriESTINIl A NATIONAL COMMISSION Of I.AIIOII 1011 VOI.UNT.Mtr AIIIII. TKAT10N. CAUSES 01' EX 18T1NO DISCONTENT. Tho President, on Thursday of last week soul a message to Congress on the subject of the labor troubles. The message in full is as follows: To the Senate and Housk ok IIei--keskntatives : Tho Constitution im poses on tho President tho duty of recommending to tho consideration of Congresi from timo to time such meas ures as ho shall judgo necessary and oxpedicnt. I nm so deeply impress, ed with tho importance of immediately and thoughtfully meeting tho problem which rcceut events nnd a present con dition hnve thrust upon us, involving the settlement of disputes .arising be tween our laboring men nnd their em ployers, that I am" constrained to rec ommend to Congiess legislation upon this soriuus and pressing subject. Un der our form of government tho value of labor as an clement of national pros perity should bo distinctly lecognized and tho welfi.te of the laboring man should bo regarded as especially enti tled to legislative oire. In a country which offers to all its citizens the high est attainment of social and political distinction in workmen cannot justly or safely bo considered as irrevocably consigned to the limits of a class and entitled to no nttentiou and allowed no protest against neglect. Tho laboring man, bearing in his hand an indispens able contribution tn our growth and progress, may well insist, witli manly courage and as a right, upon the same recognition from those who make our laws as is accorded to any other citizens hiving a valuable interest in charge, and Jus reasonable demand should be me, in such a spirit of appreciation and fairness as to induce a contented and patriotic co-operation in the achivement of a grand national destiny. UNSATISKACTOItr KEI.ATIONS. While the real interests of labor aro not promoted by n resort to threats and violent manifestations, and wliilo thoso who under tho pretext of an advocacy of the claims of labor, wantonly attack tho rights of capital, and for selfish purposes or the lovo of disorder sow seeds of violence and discontent should neither bo encouraged nor conciliated, all legislation on tho subject should be calmly and deliberately undertaken, with no purpose of salUfying unreason able demands or gaining partisan ad vantage. The present condition of tho relations between labor and capital aro far from satisfactory. Tho discontent of tho employed is due, in a largo de gree, to tho grasping and needless ex actions of employers and tho alleged discrimination in favor of capital as an object of governmental attention. It must also be conceded that tho laboring men are not always careful to avoid causeless and unjustifiable disturbance. Though the importance of a better accord between these interests is ap parent, it must bo borne in mind that any effort in that direction by tho Federal Government must be greatly limited by Constitutional restrictions. Thero are many grievances which legis lation by Congress cannot redress and many conditions which '-annot by such means be reformed. I am satisfied, however, that something may bo done under Federal authority to prevent tho disturbances which so often aviso from dinputes between employers and tho employed, and which at times serious ly threaten the business interests of tho country j and in my opinion the proper theory upon which to proceed is that of voluntary arbitration as the means of settling these difficulties. But I Buggost that instead of arbitrators chosen in tho heat of conflicting claims and after each dispute Bball arise, thero bo created a Commission of Labor, consisting of three members, who shall bo regular officers of tho government, oharged among other duties with tho consideration and settlement, when possible, of all conti overflies between abor and capital. A C0JI5IISSION WITHOUT 1I1AS. A commission thus organized would lave tho advantage of being a stablo body and its members, as they gained experience, would constantly" improvu in UH.-H iiwimy iu iit'ai intelligently nnd usefully with tho questions that might bo submitted to them. Jf arbitra tors aro chosen for temporary service eaeli case ol diputo arises ex- icrienco and familiarity with much that is involved in the question will bo lacking, extreme partisanship and bias will be tho qualifications sought on cither side and frequent complaints of unfairness and partiality will bo in evitable. Tho imposition upon a hederal court of a duty foieign to the udicinl function, ns the selection of nn arbitrator in such cases, is at least of doubtful propriety. The establish ment by federal authority of such a bureau would bo a just and sensible .cognition of tho value of labor and of its right to bo represented in the de partments ot tlio government. oo lar as its conciliatory oflices had relation to disturbances which inter fered with transit and commerco be tween tho States, its existence would bo justified under the provisions of tho Constitution which gives to Congress tho power "lo regulate commerco with loreign nations and among tho several States." And in tho frequent disputes between tho laboring men nnd their employers of less extent and tho con sequences of which mo confined with in otato limits and ihreateu domcstio violence, tho interposition of such commission might bo tendered, upon uiu application 01 mo Legislature or hxecmivo of a State, under tho eonsti tutiotial provision winch requires tlio General Government to "protect" oaeh oi mo otates "against domestic vio lenco." WIIV TIIEV WOUI.K AIIUITHATE, If Biich a commission wero fairly or ganized, the lisk of a loss of popular support and sympathy resulting fioni a refusal to Mibm.it to go peaceful an instrumentality would constrain both parties to such disputes to invoke its Interference and abide by its decisions. ri'l I i ... i i mum wuiiiu auto uu goon reason to hopo that tho very existence of such an agency would itivito application lo it for advjco and counsel, frequently I ...w ...w.,,,.,,vv ... wmwuii- I Hon llllil llllhllnilirlnnilinir.

In July, 1881, by a law of Congress, a Bureau of Labor was established nnd placed ! i charge of a Commifsioner of Labor, who is required to "collect in formation upon tho Bubject of labor, its relations to capital, tho hours of labor and tho earnings of laboring men and women and the means of promoting their material, social, in tellectual and moral prosperity." Tho commission which I suggest could eaiily be engrafted upon the bureau thin already organized by tho addition of two more Commissioners and by supplementing the duties now imposed upon it by suoh powers nnd functions ns would permit tlio Commissioners to act ns arbitrators when necessary between labor and capitnl under such limitations and upon such occasions as should bo deemed proper and useful. Power should also be distinctly con ferred upon this bureau to investigate tho causes of all disputes as they occur, whether submitted for arbitration or not, so that information may always be at hand to aid legislation on tho subject when necessary and desirable. GllOVKlt Cl.EVEI.ANI). KxECUTtvi: Mansion, April 22, 1880. The Hon, J, Pulitzer -Hard Luck of the Poor Fellow as a Legislator. Froinllie Atlanta Constitution. Ex Governor Campbell of Missouri, in a recent talk about the Hon. J, Pul itzer, publisher of the World, said: "I remember when Joo was elected to tho Legislature, and also when ho only lacked ono vote of being expelled from that body. Pulitzer had within a few years como up from the position of a roustabout on a Mississippi steam boat to a privnto watchman. Then ho became a restaurant waiter, and wliilo occupying that position ho formed tho acquaintance of Carl Schurtz, who mado him a reporter of his Wcstlicha 1'osl. In this way Pulitzer got somo inlluor.co in one of tho German wards and was elected to tho Legislature. It was just at tlio timo that tho Demo crats reclaimed tho State by electing B. Graiz Brown Governor. Wheii Pulitzer took his seat ho was about as ordinary a looking individual as could be seen anywhere. His nose looked almost as big as his face. He immedi ately became distinguished as tho ugliest looking man who had ever oc cupied a seat in our Legislature. Ho was as awkward as ho was ugly, and in consequence a great deal of fun was mado of him. Every timo that he a rose to speak ho was laughed at. Fi nally one day no got into a dilliculty with a country member over somo trifling affair and a fight ensued. Tho fellow got Pulitzer down and was beating him about the head. Pulilzer in tho mean time got out his revolver, and taking cateful .aim, shot his assailant through tho big top. The wounded man was laid up for a day of two, and Pulitzer was arrested. In tho conrso of a week be was arranged by the Leg islature to ehow cause why ho should not be expelled. Finally a vote was taken, and Pulitzer, who was very un popular, had not a friend to defend him. Over half the counties had been called and only three more votes wero need ed to expel him when I came in. Pul itzer had a seat near me, and I noticed tears in his eyes. I felt sorry for the poor young man, and nlthough I had urn a sngui acquaintance with mm. 1 proceeded to defend him. I addressed tlie Speaker and told him I had been absent when the caso was under con sideration, and I demanded a recon sideration, which was granted. Then I mado a speech for the defence, in which I claimed that Pulitzer had first been assaulted, and being a very young man, to expel him might blight his prospects for life. Well, another ote was taken nnd Pulitzer was ac quitted. Ho came over to me, and, putting his nrms around me, cried liko a child. He said he would never for get what I bad done for Jiim. for if ho had been expelled he had mado up his mind lo commit suicide. Well, ever Binco tho fellow has always opposed me politically." The Use of Blinds on Horses. Tho custom nf putting blindu on horses indisciiininately, U a gn at er ior. Carriago hoises look well in showy head-gear, and handsome blinds aro a great improvement to the stylo and general appenrnnco of real, Bet-up carriago horses. But for bugy, car, carl, Binge, wagon, truck, and 'general travel, they aro wholly unnecessary, and as rgards safety, they aro a detri ment rather than an advantage. What do surfaco car horses want with blinds! Horses, like ourselves, want to bco where thoy aro going, and the horso that shies, proves that ho wants to keep out of dauger, by tho very fact ot ins shying, Wo must conrndPr that a horso lead ing an artificial life, liko ourselves, walking in tho dark in a strange place. dosen't see what is around him if ho has blinds on, and is therefore natural ly timid and careful. If a horso is too caret nl, ami takes too wide a circuit in shying, it is with tho best intention Irom ins instincts. Hut because he does it a littlo too much, and moro than his driver sees necesnary, ho should not bo abused, but spoken to softly nml kindly, and thus encouraged, for ho means no wrong.- ihe stupid lunk head will go so close to a hole that ono wheel will tall into it, wliilo tho horso of intelligence, will keep well away from It, but not having studied geom etry, ho does not know the exact length of the axles, nml the distance necessary to keep from tlio danger.
