vorably for a poor Irish lad, James o.
German, who came &c Philadelphia two
years ago in search of q fortune. He had
seen the the advertisement of the Louis

had better give it a trial. Accordingly,
on The 5th OF July he sent 81 to NJ. A.

SO y. Delaware ave, where he is a bar
keeper, that the ticket had drawn s.. 900,
and, as he held hall of it,that be was enti-
tied TO $3.50. Such s pile Of money was
indeed a fortune to him. He obtained

THERE is in New York canary bird
with strange faculty for music. He
has been named Beauty and has acquir-
ed his education in the course of month
under the tutorship of the little girl uf
the family in which he lives. s'On a
recent evening, says reporter, "in the
presence of guests, the door of Beauty s
cage was opened after the master had
seated himself at the piano, and the bird
flew to the gentleman S shoulder and then
to the music rack on the piano. When
his master whistled an air, playing an
accompaniment, the canary warbled and
trilled in accurate tune and time, hop
ping upon the players fingers and over
the keys. When the whistling and ac
compartment ceased the bird perched
upon his masters head and awaited fur
ther orders. Then Beauty was placed in
front of the pier glass when he sang to
his reflected image in harmony with the
piano accompaniment, and when his mas
ter stopped playing the bird fitted a.
round the room in pursuit of his shadow
on the ceiling. After he had convinced
himself that he had cornered his dark sill
houette he sat gazing abstractedly at it
till he was coaxed away. After Beauty
had retired to his cage he kissed the
members of the family good night, i'm
initiating the kissing sound when he
touched their lips with his bill.

A BROADWAY PUZZLE.

There are in Broadway three fve-story
marble-front buildings which have stood
idle for fifteen years. This property
should be good for $4,000 year at the
very least. 1t has not produced dollar
during the long period named. The tax
es on it amount probably to $4,000 a
year. The interest on the money invest
ed in it must be at least as much more.
If it were rented like other property, it
would have yielded at least S750,0 in
the time named. Instead of that it has
cost the owners in taxes and interest not
less than S300,000 Why is it not rented?
Nobody knows. There it stands, year
after year, monument of vacancy and
heavy loss. sfTo let" bills are on it all
the time, but it does not let / am told
that it belongs to a wealthy family in
France, who sent money here many years
ago for investment. They have never
seen it, and its control is entirely in the
hands of an agent. He watches it close
ly, and is always polite TO persons max
ing inquiry about it; but for some mex
plicable reason he never strikes bargain
with any one. A gentleman told me re-
Gently that during a visit to France few
years ago he tried to see the head Of the
family that owns it for the purpose of ne
gotiating for it, but the Frenchman, a
gruff old Count. would not give him an
interview. The property is going to de-
cay, in the heart of the busiest part of
New York.
