The Wire Age,

We are told that the world has passed
through stone, brass, and iron age, etc.; and
it now seems as if it had arrived at the
sUire age. In coming up the streets of
city, the first and the last thing to be seen,
is wire running-the mind only wonders
were Some one has aptly likened the in.
terlacing wires in city like New York, to
the work of some giant spider, which has
covered the streets and houses with a net
work Of iron webs. But wires are not for
city use alone. There are many times on
the farm, when piece of wire might prove
of great service. There are other places
than in pigs nose, where, if bit OF wire
was used, much trouble might be saved
Things will break, and there is nothing
better for mending than wire. A piece Of
harness, or part of the wagon, harrow,
cultivator, ETC., may come apart at Just the
wrong time, and nothing will so easily
mend matters as piece of wire, if it is at
hand. We keep in our workshop, large
spool lin fact two, for different sizes) of
copper wire, which comes in play so often,
that il is looked upon as one of the essen.
tial things in the outfit of the shop, and
we commend it to every farmer. as one Of
the greatest of little conveniences. A
small coil or spool of such wire, should be
kept in the work.coat pocket; it will save
vast deal of going to the house for re-
pairs, and be one way of saving money.
One should never start on Journey,
whether for several days, or only few
miles, without coil Of wire under the
seat, or in some corner or partof the buggy
or farm wagon. Thus provided, one has
the means of repairing almost every miner
damage to harness or vehicle. In the
matter of wires, the country should not be
out-done by the city. II il be "An age OF
wire," il should be so everywhere alike.
Since the above was written, an ORIOLES
or Hang-bird's nest is reported which the
birds built near mechanics shop, and haG
securely fastened it to the branch of the
tree by means of pieces of wire found by
the Thoughtful birds in the sweepings of ths
shop.--Amcrican AgricuLtuist for june.

THE COMING OF FLOWERS.

As poured the flood of the ancient sea
SpiIiing over mountain chains,
Bending forests as bends the sedge,
Faster flowing DER the plains
A worldwide wave with foaming edge,
That rims the running silver sheet
So pours the deluge of the heat,
Broad northward DER the land,
Painting artless paradises,
Drugging herbs with Syrian spices.
Tanning secret fires which glow
In columbine and clOver-blOw,
Climbing the northern zones,
Where u thousand pallid towns
Lie like cookies by the main,
Or tented armies on plain.
The milliOn-handed sculptor molds
Quaintest bud and blossom folds,
The million-handed painter pOurs
Opal hues and purple dye;
AZaleas flush the island floors,
And the tints of heaven reply.

Execu i've Ability

Very few men are blessed with the
talent Of doing more than one thing
well. In the economy Of nature our
gifts as rule are few. One may lw
able to plan but cannot execute, while
his neishbors executive ability is his
strong point. The mau is good at the
wheel, but lacks financial ability:
another one can design china and
earthenware of superior style, out
falls short of success as q business

with in every trade. Men may sue
coed in the routine Of designing, and
in other departments Of potting but
when their success in any one of these

ing, they are all at sea, simply because
the latter position calls for the exer-
else of entirely different qualiiications.
Now and again we find notable excep-
tons to this rule. We meet occasion

ton Of different and varied excellen-
cies, superior whereverthey are placed;
but, OH the whole. such instances are
rare--so rare, i'll fact, that the exccp-
ton only proves the rule. Such mon
are successful. They must be, for they
possess every requisite in the whole
range of mechanical and executive
ability. Other men, who know moth
ing, practically, about the details of
construction and qualities of material,
sometimes succeed, but they have an
executive power well developed, and
Supported by clear judgment trained
by experience, they master all difficult
tics. One class Of men may not know
how to draw the simplest pattern, but,
on the other hand, they may possess
good taste, which viii enable them to
decide whether design is good or
bad, and their discernmcnt forctells
it's reception with the trade. Give
them basis and a plan, and they will
complete the structure. On the other
hand, those who have the practical
routine thoroughly by heart, but lack
the executive power, generally fail il

special Dispatches to the OregpnIau.


San FRANCISCO, March 17.-No
further information has come to light
regarding the proposed arrangement
between the CiIizeu's Protective I'm
ion and fhe workincincn, mentioned
IN Mondays dispatches. 1t is under
stood that soma further consideration
of tbs question has taken place, but it
IS difficult to Obtain sny information
concerning it, though further develop
nlents may be looked for at an early
date. The sentenee imposed upon
koarney has been tho general topic Of
conversation on the streets during the
day, while sc ieral fear is entertained
as to whether Judge Rix may not
have overshot the mark by imposing
the extreme penalty of the law. Rear
ney, however, lost his best chance by
neslecting to demand jury trial,
which he did i'll anticipation Of a nom.
inal sentence.
The city was never more quiet than
for the last few DAYS, although it is
evident that there is an undercurrent
of feeling that may manifest itself at
any time There are numberless ru-
mors atloat regarding the intentions of
the citizens union and workingmen,
but as far as can be learned the latter
are anxious to avoid any extreme.
measures, and if the union have any
aggressive movement in contemplation
they keep their plans to themselves. q
AT a meeting Of the board of health
last evening questions were discussed
in connection with the proposed re-
forms in Chinatown. The chief Of
police had notified the board that with
the present limited Jail accommoda-
tons any attempt atstrict enforcement
of the penalty for violation of the
cubic air ordinance would be si,nply
inhuman, as in the present state Of the
city prisons the influx of Chinese
would result in fearful oyecrowdins.
The board addressed h request to the
board of supervisors for some extern
sion Of prison accommodation to meet
the eyigency that will artse as soon as
the work of condemns ION Is begun.
