We Oregonians aro having again some very fine weather since the late rains, The afternoons are delightful, warm and pleasant as a May day, while our East ern friends have, as our dispatches show frost and snow with the mercury down to the freezing point. Here the grass is growing and tho fields aro green and the farmers plowing and sowing grain for next year's crop.

A Lame Excuse. Tho Review with nn affrontery that would sbamo his satonic majesty says it delights to honor the old voterauB." The fact is tho Roviow novcr looses an opportunity to traduco them beforo tho ublic. When an old veteran lias the manhood to assert his right as o citizen, and in the eserciso of that right rejoices over tho defeat ot tho party ho opposed in delonso of tho union, the Review assails him as a stato institution taking part in politics. Yea, you dolight to honor vet orans as vultures delight in lambs. It thoy will sit down as paupers and not dare raise their heads or clevato their voices to rejoico over tho enemies hey fought 30 years ago, and quietly eat the bread of charity, as the Roview would term it, tho Reviow would content itself with an occasional referonco to them as pensioners upon the public. As to tho Review's contemptible fling at "men like Benjamin and Hermann," who stood by the old flag in its hour ot peril and havo Btood by its defenders ever since, we will say, tho old veterans know who their friends are and also who are their foes. These "peanut politicians" aro not traducers of veteran soldiers nor were thoy ever "copperheads," "fire in tho rear men," "appolgists for seces sion" and who rejoiced when the veter ans met with defeat or mourned when rebels were repulsed by veteran valor, as did the class of men of the Review stripe, School Report.

And the Fassencer a Cigar, In Fact Several of Them. A prosperous looking business man boarded tho front platform of a cross town car, and drawing nvroll tilled cigar oaso from hia pockcsojoctcd a choice looking Havana, Tfid driver "sized up" tho man and tho cigar case, and Ids mouth began to waterC Tho smoker, aft er biting oft tho end of his cigar, began fumbling for a match. Failing to find ono, ho turned to tho driver and asked him if ho had a match. "Yes, sir," responded tho driver, with nlacrity. "Hero you aro, sir. " 'Thank you," said tho business man, lighting his cigar and Fending tho fra grant smoko wafting across tho driver's face. "Very convenient to havo matches uround, sir. I allers makes a point of carrying 'cm." "Indeed?" "Yes; so many gentlemen pull out a cigar, and then find thoy ain't got a match." Puff, puff and silence. "I am quito a smoker myself. 'Coarso I can't smoko on tho car, but then I en joy it all tho moro when I get off. " 'I supposo so," said tho smoker ab- senrmindedly. "Many gentlemen makes a point ol giving mo a cigar, especially when thoy rides reg'lar. I ain't had my after din ner smoko yet" "Oh, said tho business man in a preoccupied manner. lcs, sir; I allers carry matches, as I said before, 'causo when a gentleman has n cigar and no light ho alius seems bo thankful for it Generally gives mo a cigar too. Seems kinder fair to ox change a cigar for a match, 'cause tho weed ain't no good without a light "All," said tho Bmoker, evidently busy in his mind with something con nectcd with business. The driver looked despairingly at him and nf tor clearing his throat Bald : "iou don t liappcn to havo another cigar In your pocket, do yon, sir? "Certainly I havo two or three, said tho business man testily. "But what has that to do with what you havo been talking about?" Tho rest of tho journey wna mado in silence. N cw i ork Tribune SONQ BIRDS. Something About tho Feathered Warbler of Different Countries. India has tho jocoso bulbuls, often called nightingales from their remark ably sweet voices. Tho Hindoos train them to si ton their hands and bo carried about tho bazaars. Tho black faced thrash is a very fino songster and can imitato almost everything ho hears. Tho whito evebrowed or spectacled laughing thrush has a loud, powerful song and somo melodious notes, no is sometimes called tho greater Peking night ingalo or Japaneso mocking bird. Tho Japaneso robin is a pretty bird to look at, and very hvoly in his motions, but is overrated aa asinger, his notes re sembling our Baltimore oriolo's, only shriller, with lltfio variation. Australia has tho piping crow, which is moro of a 6hriko than a true crow. His song is rich and varied, tho notes re sembling a flute. Ho can bo taught to speak and imitato many birds as well From Africa ore shipped largo num bers of littlo birds to this country called African singing finches. Thoplumago is bandsomo and often very odd. They lack voice, only one, tho strawberry finch, having a song of any power. They aro cunning, however, and pretty to have in an aviary. A gentleman Inricw York has an aviary cago containing some 35 varieties of small birds, and among them many African finches. As ono of tho canaries sines a small finch will fly to his side, and placing his head against tho singer's breast listen close ly until tho canary drives him away. A weaver bird with a thick red bill. in this samo happy family, will toko all tho threads given him and weavo a closo network down tho side of tho cago and out on tho perches. His owner says that if ho would givo him enough material tho bird would weave until ho shut out tho daylight Philadelphia Times. Wonder of Mlaata Animal Life. Tho following, which might very ap propriately bear tho heading of "Acra der of Wonders, " Is from tho pen of Sir Robert a Ball, F. E. &. astronomer royal of Ireland: "Tho mlcroscopo teaches ns that there aro animals so won dcrfully minuto that if a thousand of them wcro ranked abreast they could easily swim, without being thrown out of order, through tho eye of tho finest cambria nccdlo over made. Yet each of tho minuto creatures is a highly organ lzed nnmbcr of particles, capablo of mar ing about, of finding and devouring food and of behaving in all respects as be comes an animal as distinguished from a fragment of unorganized matter." Tho human mind is utterly incapable of real' Izlng tho structure of theso littlo crea tures and of fully appreciating their marvelous adaptation to tho lif o they aro destined to lead The Secret of French Cooking.
