Canarfes as Concert Singers.

An entire novelty In the concert-singing de-
partment or musical art Is promised to the
lovers of sweet sounds by an Ingenious citizen
OF PhGntxyille, South Australia. This gentle
exclusively to the training of canary birds In
every known method Of vocaliZatton and, as we
gather from antipodean journals, with extra
ordinary success. But he has recently crowned
soDgsters by tnventing mechanical apparatus
by which his yellow pupils will be taught to
perform music Of more reconcile and cOmpli-
Gated character than mere ballads and opera
airs. He proposes, with the aid of this con-
trivance, not only to produce canary soloists,
or "Dee Tanty," as the immortal Jea7aes de la
Pluchs designated the ford displays fashion
able in his day, but to teach his pupils part
singing and the rendering of the most difficult
results are to be attained by the following pro-
cess: The cages In which the professors pupils
reside are hung up In front of mirror, behind
which is fixed musical box, which plays the
solo, part-song, or chorus they are desired TO
perform. The birds listen eagerly to the music,
it proceeds. Their gaze ts naturally directed 70
the mirror, In which they see the renectlon OF
their own graceful persons. AT once they mop
to the conclusion that their counterieit present
gagged In singing the unfamiliar strains that de-
light their ears. From observation TO fmita-
ton, it appears, is but step with the tnteli-
gent and tuneful canary bird he Is apt, in
a nredilection for the '.leadtng business" but,
hein0 crifted with quick ear, he soon recop-
nizes the desirability OF filling up the notes
wanting to complete the chords, and adapts
promptitude. Wagner's "Trilogy," performed
by company Of canar1es, may thus be an at
tractive item Ia the operate performances of
the future.ILondon Telegraph, Sept. s.

board of trustees OF the public schools. 1t
would then, as In my opinion 1t should, authori-
tatively constitute Home" and also an edu-
cational and Industrial training school for abso-
lutely destitute, neglected and maltreated chill
dren Of the District, reScuing them 10 time from
the baneful effects Of their evil tending environ
ment. Furthermore, let the police and others
interested In the healthy moral growth of the
District see to the proper execution of alaw for
the punishment OF wrongs to children, such as
has already been presented In Congress and re-
ferred to the judiciary committee, and the germ
of pauperism and crime will have been attacked
at the very taproot an untold amount Of destt-
tution Indulgence and wretchedness averted,
and good citizens made of many who will other
wise assuredly drift into the almShouse, pent-
Tertiary and jail.
Increase then, the capacity and faculties of
such Institutions like the Industrial Home
School, and it stands to reason that you lessen
the necessity OF enlarging your police force,
overcrow ding the docket OF your Police Court,
ana building additions to your reformatorieS,
almshouses, penitenttaries and jails. And to do
this, assert, is not the work so much of charity
as it is the duty of those who would prove
themselves wise rulers.
We have In, or adjacent to the District no less
than four institutions ranking virtually as uni
versities, viz: Columbian, Howard and the
Georgetown and Maryland Agricultural Col
leges, where the more gifted and favored win
the highest of scientific calllngs. But how
many chronological and Industrial institutions
have we In the District where the youth Of the
laboring classes the future bone and sinew OF

advancement? am grieved to say, with the
exception of two denomiDational schools for
girls, none other than what Is offered to the
and facilities Of the Industrial Home School O.

Strange Discoveries in the Oil
RcRiOnSs

The oil territory has brought light to many
phenomenal wells. Principal Of these Is per-
haps the well near Millersburg, Butler county,
which produces refined Illuminating OIL, re ady
for the lamp, and OF excellent quality. This
well-known "hole' is not, however, without an
equal. Some months ago, as is well known, a
party OF operators from Tltusville and st.
Petersburg began operations in the newly-dis-
covered Oil region of Trumbull county, Ohio.
They have struck vein Of petroleum of a
character heretofore unknown in the oil Dusi-
ness. 1t is lubr1cating Oil of the finest quality,
ard it comes from the earth refined and ready
for use on the finest machinery. This well is
flowing five barrels of this oil per day, for
which the operators have ready sale at SIG
barrel. Ordinary Oil, In the Pennsylvania
regions, Is now selling at SiXty-two cents bar
rel. The tract in which the phenomenal well
is located Is near West Mecca. Two thousand
acres have been leased at enormous prices by
other SPECTATORS. The discoveries OF this re-
fined Jubrlcating oil are putting do yn osher
wells on the land.
Among the sand rock taken from Tew g.
Thurslon's new Oil well near state line, at
depth of over 1000 feet, was piece thickly
studded with sea shells and bearing the Inn
pressions Of curious fishes.
Four miles from Clintonville, Venango CO.
well was sunk three months ago to the de 9TH
OF 900 feet. No oil, but heavy vein OF gas was
found. The owner OF the well attempted to re
move the casing. 1t was raised foot. The
fresh water at the top Of the hole rushed
into the space at the bottom. 1t was caught by
the great rush OF gas and thrown 100 feet into
air. This natural fountain has been gushing at
the rate of 1900 barrels of ice-cOld water day
ever since, with no indication that 1t will ever
cease.-( Pitsburg Despatch.

&C, giving one more every time his property Is
doubled.
Under this plan of suffrage several radical
evils would be cured. Persons, education aud
property would all be equitably and fairly repre-
much complained of, especially by the women,
would be avoice ed by a property vote. Manhood
would be recognized without DISTINGUISHING In
telligence. Property would not be at the mercy
Of ignorant non-property holders. The men
ard women who pay the taxes and support the
government would be represented In the gov
erDment.
1t is true that property is not equally repre-
Sented. Every one knows how hard 1t is to ac-
cumulate the first thousand dollars, and how
easily 1t is to gather up afterwards. Hence to
gain an additional vote man must double his
fortune. The evils or drawbacks connected
with this or any form Of suffrage can be easily
obviated If the political parties desire it,
1. By requiring continuous residence OF
one year in voting precinct and
2. By making voting precinct so small that
every voter shall be known-say not more than
two hundred voters in any one precinct

The Law of Excursion Tickets.

An English statute enacts that If any pers)n
travel Or attempt to travel in any carriage of
the company without having previously paid
his fare, and with intent to avoid payment
thereof, he shall for every offence forfeit to this
company sum not exceeding forty Shillings
The respondent I'm the case of Langdon against
HoWells) had purchased the forward half OF
a tourist ticket from Ludlow to New Milford
from Mr.. Aaron, who had used the ticket from
Ludlow to Hereford, which was portion OF the
journey to New Milford. The respondent then
attempted to use the ticket from Hereford to
New Milford, when his name and address
were taken, and the charge was preferred
against him by the Great Western Railway
Company. 1t also appeared that tourists tick
cts are available for two months, and allow the
holder to break his journey, but are Endorsed,
Not transferable" Cockburn. c. j., said: 81
think this case clearly comes within the statute
1t is not even the Case Of ticket taken by A,
which makes up his mind not to use, and hands
1t over to b, thai might be open to different
consideration; but this Is a tourist ticket, as to
which everybody Is perfectly aware that the
ticket is issued at a cheaper rate, because the
person who takes it Is about to make his re-
pany therefore finds 1t to its advantage to issue
the ticket at cheaper rate, upon the under
standing that the tourist ticket shall be used by
the man to whom the ticket was originally is
sued. But, If it is given at the end Of the jour-
ney, by the person who originally took it, to
some one else who Is to have the advantage of it
on the single journey, and who would not be en-
titled to get ticket at that rate If he took
ticket only for the single journey, it is quite
clear the conditions upon which the ticket
was issued are violated, and that the man VINO
seeks to travel by such tourist ticket, not
having himself originally taken it out, does not
pay his fare, but defrauds the company to the
extent OF the difference between the tourist
ticket fare and what would have been the fare
for the single journey. He therefore does not
pay his fare. and as think in this case the evil
dence is abundantiy clear to show that he took
his ticket with the intention to avoid the pay
ment of his fare, he Is. therefore, within the
terms Of the statute. ~ Albany Lao Journal

NERVOUSNESS CONSISTS In an intense SuScepti-

curious paradox that in some things men are

OF wine and cookery, which means nothing more
than that their palates are nervous and deli

nerves are highly sensitive; and they profess
refined horror OF bad music and bad smells.
which signifies exciteability Of the nervous

HoRsEsHoEs OR No HoRsEsHoEs.-A cores
pondent of the London Times wr1tes:-"Some
months ago there appeared In the Times series
Of letters for and against horseshoes. The ar
gument against them seemed to me so strong,
and convenience of doing without them SO
great, that l resolved to try the experiment.
Accordingly, when my pony's shoes were worn
out had them removed and gave him q
months rest at grass, with an occas onal drive
OF a mile or two on the highroad while his
hoofs were hardening. The result at first
seemed doubtful. The hoof was a thin shell,
and chipping away until 1t had worked down
beyond the holes OF the nails by which the
shoes had been fastened. After this the hoof
grew thick and hard, quite unlike what 1t had
been before. l now put the pony to full work,
and he stands 1t wen. He is more surefooted:
his tread is almost noiseless; his hoofs are In no
danger from the rough hand Of the farrier, and
the change altogether has been clear gain

Blaine,s Memory of Faces.

Senator Blaine'S wonderful memory of names
and faces-a faculty OF no small value to poll
tlcian-ls thus Illustrated by correspondent
OF the Cincinnati Commercial: Many times
have Mr.. BlaneS powers of memory been
shown since he entered Ohio. At Bellaire he
recognized at once Old classmates whom he
had not seen for thirty-ive or forty years
called them by name and referred to trivial In.
cldcnts in the past which had often times
passed from the memory OF him addressed for
many years. For instance, as he was entering
the dintng-room, DR.. Werlich, of Martins
Ferry, stepped up and said: 'Mr. Bialne."
Blaine turned Immediately and replied: "Why
Israel Werlich, sure as I'm alive. I'm glad to
see you, old friend" He had not seen Werlich
since 1874 or heard OF him.
Again, another old man asked him, s'Don'U
you remember me?"
" saw you thirty-five years ago at CaldwelP5
Mills"

Scenes at a South Carolina Camp
Meeting.

Last Sunday special trains were run to the
Sandy Springs camp meeting in Anderson
county, and the crowd at the ground did not
number less than five thousand. There was
preaching in the church and at the shed in the
morning, and much feeling was manifested By
the devout worshippers who gathered about the
affairs. The disorder, however, became so great
throughout the camp that the afternoon ser
vices were dispensed with and the meeting was
effectually broken up for the day. After din.
ner the excursion party gathered at the railroad
crossing, and for three hours awaited the de
'aI lure OF the train which was unavo!dablv de-
such as we hope never again to experience
Crowding upon the crossing the drunken, swear
ing, vulgar rabble laid violent hands upon every
passer-by, and outraged all decency by Their
obscentty. White ID black men and women,
were mixed up in almost ineXtricable confusion,
and there was no escape or security from the
outrageous mob. A negro with whisky bar
rel mounted on a pine table at the side of the
road sold cider at five cents lineup full, aud
just under cover OF the bushes an improvisoed
barroom was in full blast, where the drunken
DULLES got drunken still, land on every side could
be heard the most awful profanity and the foul
est songs. A negro man who had married
white woman was the special object Of the
lessly handled. He was driven of the grounds.
kicked. cuffed and cursed step by step, and was
stabbed In the back and beaten over the head
with pistol. 1t was miracle that he escaped
death. and those who assaulted him should be
severely punished. On the train the scene beg
CARED description. There was no respect shown
to the ladies' and such an internal dissertation
OF the day never before occurred In upper Caro-
lina.-[Abte Is. C.) Medium, Sept. "a.
