A WONDERFUL BIRD.

On Howard street. says the San
Francisco Bulletin, there Ia a canary
that whistles "Lucy Neal" with va
rlations, amid the morning quletude OF
a beautiful suburban residence. In such
soft. clear notes, and with such perfect
musical hnish, that the audience Is
fairly persuaded away into some trans
cendental region. It is a medium
sized bird. one year old last April, OF
a yellowi,h color, and profusely sprin-
killed. with soft brown. Il was Instruct
ed by a lady, through the Instrument
ality OF a French bird organ. The
bird commenced to learn "Lucy Neal'
when four months old. and at seven
was complete master Of the piece. It
commenced to learn the tune In dis
connected fragments; gradually the
lnterStices were supplied. and at last
the time was warbled with unbroken
precision and brllliancy. Tho mistress
of the canary, the same who raised IL,
thinks that by this time the bird could
have learned all the airs played BY the
organ-seven In number-had the In
strument been In order but Ito works
are somehow so deranged that It only
plays "Lucy Neal"

SACRAMENTO ITEMS.
From the Record OF yes,crday.l


At n quarter past ten on Saturday
forenoon parties at the river front saw
a man unknown to them jump from
the high wharf just north OF the foot
of J street, into the river, plainly with
tho determination to drown himself.
A boat was manned rs quickly as pos
slble, and was put out to save him, but
long before 1t could have reached him
his head and arm were seen to appear
once above the water. and then he
sank to rise 10 more. Hts hat, a good,
black, ilat-topped felt, apparently new.
with a broad ribbon around 1t and
Meussdorffer's stamp Oil the Inside,
was found In among tho piles, where
the current carried 1t, and was secured.
Il was left in the possession Of officer
Fred. Chamberlin, at police headquar-
tiers, where 1t may be inspected. A
curious chain Of circumstances leads
conclusively to the belief that the sui
eide Is Andrew Gref, who, on the night
OF May 22d, was arrested by officer
Len Harris for shockingly beating his
wife tho same night, at Tenth and Il
streets.

having. apparently. been rendered In

for treatment. Both Of his arms were
broken near the wrists.

The most interesting event In

on Stokes. He tries In public to seem

illustrated In the Crown Point opera
tions. There were 1900 shares Of old

each. and rose to $500 May 10, with
only 252 shares changing hands, q div
idend OF $500 per foot being paid.
May 10 to June l only $50 old shares
have been sold, closing at $1,000 per
share, showing that ofthe whole la.0O
shares the advance to $1,000 only
brought out 25a. and there has been
but $50 shares out Of the whole parted
with on the fall. The mine itself has
improved In value. and 40 holders
part with their stock except = few who
bought on margins. The whole mar
ket rose on the great value Of Belcher
aud Crown Point, and the "bear'' ef-
forts to depress the market are direct
ell at those stocks.

4 s1oay ABOUT DANIEL DaEw..

The following little story, from the
"EdItor's Draw" In Harpr's Magazine
for June, ia too good for us to pass oy
without copying. Perhaps some OF
our readers may see a point In the
transaction applicable to their own
case, or to some great mining stock
operator Of their acquaintance:
Apropos Of Mr.. Drew's contract with
Duncan. Sherman q Co. to deliver to
tbem Ave millions of dollars OF Erie
stock during the year 1872 at IS, we
have this anecdote Of that eminent
speculator:
Not long since he met a Methodist
clergyman In New Jersey, and having
rather q fancy for him, asked him II he
wouldn't like to make a little money.
The minister replied that he never
speculated nor gambled In stocks, not
believing It to be right ; besides he was
only worth some fifteen thousand dol
lars, and could not afford to peril 1t.
Mr.. Drew, after some further chat,
said he could suggest something that
would be perfectly legitimate, and
proposed, II the parson would act upon
his suggestions, to guarantee him
against Toss, while the prospect for a
handsome profit was quite promising.
The arrangement WAS accordingly
made. Some weeks after the divine
came Q to New York and called at
MIR. Drew's Office to ascertain the re.
suit.
Well, said Uncle Daniel, ''the fact
Il, that thing that I told you about has
busted ; but I promised to guarantee
you against loss, and 1 will keep my
promise"
So, figuring up the amount Invested,
with simple Interest, MIR. Drew handed
over a check. and the pastor congratu'
lated himself on the result.
"But," said he-and here Is where
| Uncle Daniels joke comes in-"but,
| Mr.. Drew, l told one Of my elders
what you agreed to do with me, and
he went aud bought a little stock"
ibid he ?' said Uncle Daniel Drew,
"Why, how sorry | am. I'm Altered
.e has lost some money"
"Yes," continued The good man,
land he told another OF the trustees,
and he went and bought some."
"You don't tell me-"
"Yes, Mr.. Drew, and the brethren
thought it was so good Of you to give
me a pint that they all went ant
bought"
"0Well, I'm so sorry"
$50 am l." -.
"Well, they must have lost consid
cradle money-must have pretty muct
cleaned 'en out. They ought'nt tow
done It. Buyin' stocks you don't know
notldn' about Is mighty risky business
Yeu tell 'em that"
"But. Mr. Drew, they're neatly
ruined" :,
"Shouldn't wonder ; and am trul!
sorry" =,
The good parson returned to hi
flock, most Of whom had already as
vortained the true condition OF things
Somebody had "unloaded" to the coun
try brethren. Probably 1t was no

NEvApA A n

In the United States Senate, May
24th, q bill to extend to the State OF
Nevada the benefit OF an Act to enable
the State Of Arkansas and other States
to reclaim the swamp lands within
their limits was read twice BY title.
MI. Stewart desired that 1t DO indefin-
itely postponed, on tho ground that
there are no swamp lands In Nevada.
Said he: There are no swamp lands
there, unless you bring the water and
put it OH them, and water is valuable
there. We have no swamp lands that
we want to reclaim, and we do not
want any Of that swindllng business
In Nevada. hope. therefore, the bill
will be indefinitely postponed" MIR.
Nye didn't know how 1t was himself,
aud therefore thought the bill had bet
ter be referred to the proper commit
Q Mr.. Stewart argued that IT tho
bill went into effect It would disturb
the titles Of a great many settlers
where these lands have been sold. The
bill was finally, on motion OF Mr..
Trumbull, referred to the Committee
ON Public Lands. This We consider
an eminently just and proper diSposl-
tion Of tho bill. There are swamp
lands in the State, Mr.. Stewards opin-
lon to the contrary notwithstanding,
although perhaps not very extensive,
and II there Is any benefit whatever to
be derived from the bill, let's have 1t.
