THR GRABuAL ADVANCE OF WAGES prRISe THE
BUILDING sEAs0N-PROPosED REORGANIZATION
OF THE wORKINGMEN's ASSEMBLY.
host OF the mechanics engaged in building
curing the season have done well-better than
was anticipated at the commencement of the
season, and most Of them belong now to organ
lzed bodies. In the early part of the season the
wages paid were lOw-in fact, the mechanic was
scarcely above the ordinary laborer in the
amount of pay received, but gradually during
tne season the wages were advanced. These
advanced rates, though considerably above those
received in the spring. are not, it is stated, up
TO those received in New York, Philadelphia.
Chicago and some Of the western cities, and in
some OF the southern states where business has
taken jump larger rates are paid. These higher
rates at other places took away from the city
early in the season some of our young
mechanics who were anxious to better
their condition and at the same time
see the world. and it is estimated that
the plasterers and bricklayers lost about 20 per
cent by this cause, and other trades from to Is
per cent. The carpenters commenced the sea-
son with wages ranging from 81 25 to 81 rs. and
now receive 50 so to 50; the plasterers COM
menced at $1.75, and now receive $3.50 to So,
1.-TWO advances having been made during the
season;) the bricklayers advanced from 81 Is to
80; plumbers from 50 and 50 to So 50, and paint
ers from 81 to 81 with some extra good hands
at So 10 to 50.
The PAYERS started at s125 and are now re-
ceivine $3.50 per day. The carpenters plaster
ers bricklayers and some other of the trades are
organized, and there is at present disposition
on the part of some other mechanic branches to
organize. and not unlikely in the course of few
weeks the old WOrkingmen's Assembly or Union
will be revived. The tailOrs have not been very
prosperous this season, and the bill of prices has
not been rigidly adhered to, but in few weeks
there will be an attempt to enforce it. 1t is
stated that there are some in this city who can
scarcely make $l2 per week now, working IL to
IA hours per day. meeting will be held on
Saturday night.
1t is claimed that an assembly composed Of
conservative men can do much for the cause of
labor, and that through such such organizations
information as to the condition of trades can be
obtained and made known, and the wOrkingmen
through this information can so act that skilled
labor shall not be drug in the market

Signs Of Spring.

The first sign of spring is the feeling

The second is that your winter over
coat is getting heavy. If homogeneous

not be apparent.
The suburban begins to talk eloquent
ly of garden seeds and fertilizers.
He goes home loaded down with
seedsmen's catalogues and hoes and
rakes and agricultural information.
His neighbors' hens are emancipated
from their Information. and he thirsts
for the blood of his neighbors.
The ash heap in his yard rises grimly,
like resemblance of evil doings.
to talk OF improvements, Of cupola
here, an L there and piazza or bay
window somewhere else.
II in the city. you commence your an
nual talk of shaking off your feet the
dust of the city and moving into the
country.
Your aunt, or some other elderly
female member of your household, has
her say again of blood a-changing and
the consequent necessity for filling the
stomach with decoctions of herbs and
roots.
The dark shadow of the coming
house cleaning broods like a bird of evil
omen over your once happy home.
The wife of your bosom talks of new
carpets and new furniture.
The plumber no more robs you OF
your substance, the carpenter and the
painter and the plasterer and the pa
per-hanger taking what is left
AS you ride homeward in the cars
you hear stories of early peas.
The English sparrow has set his
alarm clock an hour earlier, and now
arouses you from your slumbers at four
a. m
The pussy willow asserts itself, and
the willow pollards show forth a jaun-
diced tint.
The mud sticketh to your shoes. and
the passing vehicle supplies your raj
ment with the same article.
Anon the dust rises and fills your
eyes and your mouth.
The wind blows where il listeth.
Your landlord has discovered that
things are going to boom and booms up
your rent straightway.
The lightning-rod man and the peri
patetic vendor of step-ladders knock at
your door.
The shadow of the strawberry short
cake looms up no bigger than mans
hand.
Oysters grow into desuetude.
The house hunter is abroad.
