This mail's character is well known to every one with whom he works. f. r SNEAKS, JOKES AND PI DKK. The sneak is quickly discovered and promptly "roasted." He sends slowly, and with an aggravating drag. He never swears on the wire, which, by the way, ia certain to be rewarded by disuiiial if reported, although a majority of operators are more or less profane. While this man may not have been in the business at the time of any strike, he is certain to be called a "scab" by all the out of town men, with whom he lias frequent spats.

They make all sorts of blunders and worry the receiver sick, depending upon their good humor and new stories to square matters. Dude ojierators, like their funny brethren, are poor artists, but they are not fortunate in the way of acquiring "reputation.'' They never need tell the receiver that they love dross and think of littlo else. Their frequent stops and silly chatter between messages tell it for them. After six months' working with an operator of this sort the receiver could describe him almost to a positive exactness without ever having seen hint or heard him described. FEMALES AND TRAMPS. Surly, morose and tramp ojierators are alike as to ability. They are all fine telegraphers. Their characters are well defined by silence, and they are distinguished ono from the other by bits of information regarding other cities dropped from day to day by the tramps. They tell their story when they correct errors discovered in the addresses of messages relayed from one city to another, and by suggesting some word to take the place of one badly written by some newspaper man whose "copy" they had "handled." Lady operators are identified by the lightuesa of their sending, few of them being able to work on long distance wires. On this account "Clara" is a favorite name for light senders of either sex, and their character as well as their sex is revealed by their constant anxiety and ever faithfulness, as well as by their disposition to talk. , Few people understand why telegraphers use so much and such a variety of slang. This is easily accounted for. The men in New York and San Francisco communicate all the latest phrases to Chicago, from which point Galveston, Denver, New Orleans and Ogden receive the "new talk." and the forces at Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Richmond and Boston acquire their stock from New York. In this way a bright saying heard by an operator in New York is repeated the world over' the same day, as the cable operators are quite as slangy as the rest of the craft Philadelphia Record. Where Kvery Man In a Fire Alarm. All original mode of sounding a fire alarm is adopted in a town in Colorado. In that region the revolver is considered an indisjensable article of daily wear, and affords the quickest means of announcing to the rest, of the community the imiiending danger. Whenever a tire is discovered a rapid and promiscous discharge of this firearm spreads the news through the town. This method, though crude, is found to work fairly well. It feisis, however, one drawback in that the fire department, as well as the public, is V'ten uncertain whether a fire or a fight ?i nn progress, and whatever the truth Hay turn out to be somebody is sure U disappointed.
