(New York Sun Interview) A CANARY THAT IS PRICEL ESS.

q own singing bird that can't be got from me with money" said the desler, as he turned to cage behind him. "He only sings one tune, but can tell you a remarkable story about him. My daugh- ter trained him herself when we lived in Germany six years ago. She framed him to sing a song of her own Improvisation. Of course 1t is much harder for person to train a bird than for another bird to be the teacher, and it took her nearly six months before the little fellow could sing it through without making a mistake" Here the bird fancier whisfled few bars of melody which the bird took up and finished without a break.
 "Well," continued the dealer, 'at about that time concluded to come to America, and leaving my daughter behind mel was a widower-I sailed for New York. Soon after landing | opened a store in Harlem and sent for my daughter. By some mishap failed to meet her, and the most careful inquiries threw no light on her whereabouts. I knew she had sailed, but I couldn't learn the name of the steam CT or anything about her. At last, after searching for her until had spent almost all the money had, gave up in despair. One day I was walking down Mulberry street, when l heard street boy wbistling this very air you have just heard the bird sing I stopped him, and inquired where he had heard it. He said that a young woman in the same tenement house where he lived had bird that sang it. Need I say more? I had him lead me there at once, and soon discovered that the owner of the bird was my lost daughter. She was miserably poor, and was making her living scrubbing offices. She had come on another steamer than the one had in- tended her to take, and having lost my address had not been able to trace me any better than had her.' sez.

Al TALE OF IN ALMANAC.

Anent William Bradfords almanac, a story is told regarding one of the works of that kind issued in this city at present (and this town Is still an almanac centre1 ::
 Tn the s'make-up" of the almanac the foreman ouce got the predictions for Mo- vember under the calendar for August. In the paragraph was one phrase that es- capped detection until after the entire half million copies had been sent to the home steads they were to delight. It was par alyzer for August, for it said "12th, snow and rain" The prophecy (which the printers always set to suit themselves) was reckless one, even for November i; but the printer thought he would chance it. Imagine his horror, then, to ind It set down to August. Of course the ven turesome, not to say idiotic prediction, was brought to the notice of the publish CTS of the almanac. The printer was dis charged on general principles, and the foreman was given notice that unless the prediction was verified he, too, must leave. That did not settle the matter, however.
