How to Keep Canary.Birds.

MANY persons have difficulty in keeping
their canary birds in good health. One
who is experienced in their care saws !:
Place the cage 30 that no draft of air can
strike the bird; give nothing to healthy
birds but canary and rape seed, mixed
with water, cuttlefsh bone, and gravel on
the floor OF the cage; also, a little water
ior bathing; the room should not be over.
heated when moulting shedding feathers)
avoid drafts of air; give plenty of rape.
seed, slightly moistened; little hard.
boiled egg and cracker grated fine is ex
cellent; by observing these simple direc.
nons, birds may be kept in fine condition
ior years. Bad seed kills most of the birds
that die; to which might have been added
that canary-b birds are not only very fond Of
out benefited by having often a leaf of
cabbage, pieces Of apple, or other green
1000, which serves to keep down the
tendency to fever and prevent constipa
ton. Our birds usually battle each day as
regularly as any one washes the face. and
with apparent benefit, too. When birds
are sick, and inclined not to eat we'll. re-
move all the food for day, and then only
give soaked bread, from which most of the
moisture has been squeezed.

mis- approach.
"Are you not coming to see father ?"
he said kindly "You are not afraid of
me, Willie, my little man"
Not tonight, father" replied Willie,
boldly. Come, sister, come to father ;
he will not hurt u.s."
Lizzie trembled lest the reply should
irritate him; but he only sighed deeply,
and took the children in his arms without
speaking. With more cheerfulness than
she had felt for months, Lizzie busted her
self with preparations for the evening
meal.
Father tells me there is to be famous
lecturer in the village this evening"" said
William, as they took their seats at the
table. Can you 60 with me to hear
him, Lizzie? Never mind the children. !"
he added, as his wife glanced toward the
little ones. Sister Jennie has promised
TO come round and stay with them"
Then will go with pleasure, Will"
replied Lizzie, and the untasted food stood
before her, for she felt too happy to eat.
Take some supper, mamma" lisped
little Lizzie; and Willie seconded the peti.
ton by saying:
Yes, mamma, take some supper. Don't
it make you glad to have farther home
with uss You always cry when he is
gone"
There were tears in Lizzie's eyes, now;
but loving glance from her husband sent
thrill of happiness through her heart. to
which 1t had long been q stranger.
1t seemed almost like q dream to Lizzie
when she found herself actually walking
through the little village of Rose Valley,
leaning upon her husbands arm, for it was
long since they had been seen together.
She was silent, for her heart was too full
to speak, and her husband seemed busy
with his own thoughts.

"Has William gone home, father"
asked Lizzie, as she returned his affection
ate greeting.
"Not yet, dear. He was obliged to go
to Clyde on business, and will not return
till evening. You can stay with us to tea,
and have time to prepare for him after
you 90 home; promised to send Jennie
to tell you of his absence, but now have
done the errand myself"
"And you will have that cozy little chat,
after all, sister Lizzie" whispered the
lively Jennie. "The babies will be asleep,
and nothing to disturb you"
Lizzie smiled cheerfully, and acknowl-
edged that 1t would be very pleasant, and
then turned her attention to the little
ones, who were already climbing upon
grandpapa's knee.
The abundant country tea was prepared,
and soon after 1t was over kind good
right was said, and the young mother and
children returned to their own pleasant
home.
Fatigued with the pleasures of the af.
noon, the babies soon slept, and, as Jennie
had said, everything bid fair for the quiet
evening chat. The husbands supper was
ready; the household cares for the day
were ended, and, seated at her little work.
a,ble, Lizzie busily piled her needle, cast
ing ever and anon an expectant glance
along. the shady walk which led TO the
cottage, and indulging, in the meantime,
in very delightful retrospective view of
the events of the past four years. No
clouds had as yet obscured the sunshine.
The moonlight looked as pleasant now as
1t did long, long ago, even in the honey
moon Itself William was still the kind
est and best of husbands, and the most
loving and indulgent of fathers; and when
this was said 1t mattered little to speak of
troubles, for with good husband, much

TERRIBLE RIOT IN New YoRK-Wed-
nesday, July 18th, was the anniversary Of
the Battle of the Boyne, and il has been
for Some time known that If the Orange
men paraded in New York city, an ATTEMPT
would be made to mob them, as was done
last year. Everything was done 10 avert
the riot. The Catholic clergy publicly ex-
horted their hocks not to make any disturb
ance, and to let the Orangemen parade in
peace but it was evident that their advice
would not be followed, as the greatest en-
nifty is known TO exist between Protestant
and Catholic IrishmoD, which always breaks
out at the mention Of the Battle Of the
Boyne, where the Catholics were defeated.
Mayor HALL issued a proclamation COM
manding the Orangemen not to parade, as
1t would only cause riots. This crea'ed
great dissatisfaction, as 1t was argued they
had as much right to parade as the Catho-
lies, On the day previous Gov. HOFFMAN
arrived In New York and proclaimed that
they should be protected in their rights of
procession and celebration at all hazards,
by the entire military and police force of
the city.
"At first it was supposed this would pre-
w Ni'tui oAuce, Dut Wucn the process
ION formed at two o'clock, it was attacked
ia several places by mobs Of Infatuated Hi
bernisns, aud quite conflict ensued The
military Of the city and the police accom-
panied the procession, aud cleared the
streets quickly wherever the mob gathered,
though not without bloodshed At Goth
street three shots were fired by the mob at
the procession and the military returned
the tire, killing eight and wounding thir.
teen. At 23d street some more shots were
fired, and the Slth regiment returned it,
killing and wounding a large number a
mong them three women. OF course the
mob could not fight military and every
whore broke in confusion. The procession
marched to Fourth Avenue, and having de-
monstrated their rights, the members, two
hundred in number, disbanded, having put
their badges in their pockets" Forty four
persons we're killed aud one hundred x fifty
wounded. Great excitement was felt in
the city, and the course of Gov. HOFFMAN,
was much applauded.

as-In the Criminal Court Of Baltimore

ES- In the Criminal Court Of Baltimore
city, on Saturday last, Judge GILMER pre-
siding, the grand jury made two present
ments against Mrs. ELIZABETH G.. WnAR-
TON. The first for felonious ly, wiIfully and Of
malice aforethought, killing aud numbering
General William Scott Ketchum, United
States Army, by administering tartar cmet-
&c or some other poisonous drug, on or a
bout June 18th, 1871. The second pre-
sentiment is for attempting the murder Of
Eugene Van Ness by administering poison
about the same time. Mrs w was imme
diatcly thereafter arrested and placed in
Jail and was assigned to the second cell on
the first tier of what is known as the wo-
mans side. The prisoner was allowed to
have her cell furnished, and meals viii be
sent to her from outside. She denied en-
phaticalIy her guilt, and said she felt con-
hdent Of being able to establish her inno-
cenco. On the other hand, the detectives
who have been working up the case express
1t as their opinion that the evidence is per-
fectly damning. Mrs. Wharton is subject
to epileptic attacks; and her PHI ysician thinks
1t would be dangerous for her to be confin-
ed III a cell by herself, as she might be
seized at night and die for want of atton-
tion. 1t is, therefore, probable that the
request of her daughter to be allowed to
remain with her will be granted. Tho i'm
preston seems to be gaining ground that
she is at times insane.
