Fright Canary Bird.

A family living ina New York hotel
have a canary bird named Beauty which
has shown d wonderful aptitude for
picking up tunes, and seems to be far in
advance of other of his kind in general
intelligence. He is especially fond OF
the head of the family, recognizing his
footsteps and greeting him with a burst
Of song.
On recent evening, in the presence
of guests, the door OF Bcauty'S cage was
opened after the master had seated him
self at the piano, and the bird flew TO
the centlemans shoulder and then to
the music rack on the piano. When
his master whiSted all air, playing an
accompaniment, the canary warbled
and trilied in accurate tune and time,
hopping upon the players fingers and
over the keys. When the whiStling and
accompaniment ceased the bird
perched upon his masters head and
awaited further orders. Then Beauty
was placed in front OF the pier glass,
where he sang to his reflected image in
harmony with the piano noaccompanlment
and when his master stopped playing
thesbird fitted around the room in pur-
suit of his shadow on the ceiling.
After he had convinced himself that
he had cornered his dark silhouette 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, initiating the kissing sound
when he touched their lips with his bill
His education has been acquired with
in month, and his tutor is the little
daughter of the family.

..EE~rrors Of an Emigrank Ship"

The New York Evening Telegram has
q special from London giving the man
points of an article contributed to the
Pail Mall Gazette by Miss Charlotte Il.
O'Brien, daughter of Smith O'Blien, Ct
"Young Ireland" fame. The lady VISIT
ted Queenstown in order to examine the
mode of life of emigrants i'll the steerage1
of q steamer-the name of which vessel
she withholds-and the picture which
she paints of her observations is entitled
"Horrors of an Emigrant Ship. In
describing the sleeping arrangements
she says: Any man who comes with a
woman who is or calls herself his wife
sleeps, as % matter of right, in the midst
of hundreds of young women VINO are
compelled to live in his presence day
and night. If they remove their clothes
they must do so under his eyes. If they
lie down to rest it must be beside him.
1t is shame even to speak OF these
things, but to destroy such an evil it is
necessary to look at these abodes OF
misery.

Trouble Among Fishermen.

On Saturday evening about 8 o'clock
Fish Warden Pierson, of New Jersey,
captured four boats in the Lazaretto
channel for alleged violation OF New
Jersey law that forbids gill net fishing
on the Delaware from sundown on Sat
urday evening to II o'clock on Sunday
night. The boats captured We're the
BERTHE and Sallie, whose four owners
were out pleasure fishing. They only
had fifty fathoms ofnet. The Irene Biz
zarl and net fshed by Thomas Blizzard
and William Rump; the Maggie Gotf
and paraphernalia manned by Richard
Wood, son and father, and boat of
Crun creek parties, in which two men
were fishing. The men were put ashore
at Chester, while the boats and nets
were taken to Bridgeport. The parties
whose boats and nets were captured,
together with Fish Warden Taylor and
MT, VIM. B. Broomall, as attorney,
went to Bridgeport this morning, when
the parties had hearing before a
magistrate. Fish Warner Pierson claims
to be acting under fishing law 1877,
but it is questionable whether New Jer-
sey has any jurisdiction over the Della
ware to low water mark on this side.

plicatiOn to Continue u Riot Case

shown that some one of the witnesses
came directly from u house where the
| disease WAS at the time.
The Court held the matter under ad-
viSelucnt until Judge Woottcn should
arrive. The Chief Justice stated, how.
ever. that before the Court could decide
in this matter of smallpox, it should
anpcar from the testimony OF SOME ply
stefan thai there was danger Of the
disease spreading from the trial of this,
and other eases, i'll which similar ap-
| plcatiUn was made on the same grounds.
I The Chief Justice at the same time took
occasion 10 State, rs on yesterday, that
all persons who had no business before
the Court should consult their own safe
| ty and remain away.

dcnCe in the case was brief. johnson
and his wife testified that Walker was
in his employ at the time ofthe larceny
and that Sergeant Jones recovered the
stolen property. Neither of them could

d EMAINS A LIE

AZ
Two years ago. when the "EXCELSIOR
ELASTIC ROOF PAINT was introduced
to the people of Wilmington, certain painters
and roOters raised the cry that it would not
stand the extremes OF the weather. Then it
was offered on trial for one year without pay.
The next lie was that it was injurious to the
tin This has also been proven false by some
Of the best and most{respected citizens of the
country. who have tested its merits for over
IA years The next was that it could not be
scraped of. in case it became necessary to re-
pair the roof. All these lies are easily ac-.
counted for, since it is certain that the paint
will not allow a roof to rot and rust out as,
soon a. the ordinary paint, land therefore me-,
cessitate a new roof or one of these jealous
tinkers to repair it, and that it is much
cheaper than the exorbitant prices the paint,
ers have been charging. This paint is all that
it is represented to be, as thousands can ats.
test. Perfectly fire and water proof, and is a,
perfect protection against alcolye and fur
mace gases. Beware Of spurious limitations,
