A Canary that sings "Hone sweet
Home"

Mr.. Phillip Wall of Phpnixville, be-
sides being largely engaged in the cigar
and tobacco business at that place, de-
votes much attention to the rearing and
training of canary birds for sale. He
has one now among his collection that
sings very sweetly Home, Sweet Home :
every note OF which is clear and distinct.
Mr.. Walls informs us that it required
considerable trouble to teach the bird to
sing the old and populer song, and now
it MARBLES nothing else. His mode of in
struction he informs US was as follows
He placed the canary in room where it
would not hear the singing of other birds,
suspended its cage from the ceiling. so
that it would see its reflection in a mir
ror, and beneath the latter place a
musical box, that was regulated to play
no other tune but Home, Sweet Home.
Hearing no other sounds but this, and
believing the music proceeded from the
bird it saw in the mirror, the young ca.
nary soon began to catch the notes, and
finally accomplished what its owner had
been laboring TO attain, that of sing
ing the song perfectly. Mr.. Wall has
been offered and refused $50 for this
canary PottStoen Ledger.

A DIVIDEND OF 100 PER CENT
For some time past the national banks
of New Tork hove been troubled by
the statute which provides for local
tax of three per cent. on their surplus
capital. The tax was regarded with
the greatest disfavor by all the banks,
but it was insisted that ii was legal
and must be paid. To evadc 1t the
County national bank, with a capital
of S2O0, 900 and surplus of $685., 900
has Just declared dividend of 100 per
seut. The dividend will be p i the
first business day in January. The
bulk of it will go to Francis Leland,
the president. who owns the most of
the stock. The bank has been es-
,ablished 90 years or more. and al
though small has always had a good
reputation. The par vslue of the
stock is 500, and the market value

THE CUBAN CIRCULAR.

Serers Censurs Of Presideat Grant-Cher-
ished Traditions Fiolated-A Great D1 plo-
matte Mistake.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The Herold, edi-
torially, condemns the policy of this
Government sending to all European
powers the circular relating to Cuba. 1t
contends that Austria, Prussia, nor Italy
have any interest in the affairs OF the
western continent. This diplomatic act
deserves emphatic condemnation. 1t
violates the hcnored and cherished ira
ditions of the Republic in relation to
foreign affairs. 1t comedies the right Of
European nations to voice in question
purely American, and flies in the face OF
the Monroe doctrine, which has been
for half century more closely inter
woven with the national sentiments than
any other principle connected with our
foreign relations. But two nations be-
sides the United States have any sub
stantial interests in the affairs of Cuba
These are England and Mexico. If these
governments alone had been consulted
and an understanding arrived at Gen
Grants administration would not have
exposed itself to the damaging criticism
with which it is certain to be assailed
for this indefensible manpuvre. The
Herald says the President has violated
tive great historical traditions, viz: tn,
ineligibility of n President for athirt
term, and the avoidance of entanglini
foreign alliances, and in sending this
circular to all courts of Europe he neycl
made greater mistake in his life.

An Astounding Weapon.

inches OF 1r0n--A cannon 10 ShOot
Twelve Miles.
Mr. Hoykel, of Passaic City, New
Jersey, has for ten years past, in con-
nection with New York mechanic,
been at work on an invention which
promises TO revolutioniZe ordnance
There was an exhibition yesterday, in
public, of the gun. The little one
foot gas pipe, with half-lnch bore
carrying needle shaped bullet. On
the underside OF the gun are metallic
pockets, each filled with as much pow
der rs the load at the breech.
AS the gun is fired these additional
charges of powder explode as the pro-
iectile passes through the barrel, so
that before it gets out it receives the
.mpelling force of each additional
charge. Being spread along the barrel
the danger of ar explosion is averted
and the force increased to wonderful
degree, The first shot fired was through
II solid mass of monitor iron four inches
thick, which the projectile pierced as
though it had been pine board, and
buried itself in an oaken stump, against
which the iron had had been placed.
Then shot was fired at target
composed of twelve plates of three
eighth inch plate iron, securely
strapped together. The bullet went
through this. One of these cannons
OF six inch bore, has been completed.
and will be tested before the the Uni.
ted States officers in few weeks, and
it is estimated will send ball from
twelve to fifteen miles.-N. \. Aer.
