A few days? ago some one sent up to the local room of Hie Herald a sing faff canary in a pretty prison of brass wire*, witn water, seed, cuttlefish aU ccraplete, and directed that it be raf? fed off for the benefit of the poor fund. It was to be supposed that 3 bird in such strands quarters would be frightened out of its voice, but not so this little songster. He made him? self at home at once and proceeded to sll the room with melody. A young leporter sat watching uie pert little stranger and listening to his liquid Botes, when it occurred to him that he hada great chance to write a pretty article upon the way in which the song of a happy bird "could lighten up r any gioom. He sharpened his pencil first, ??s????? some of his sentimental thoughts when the point broke oif twice, and then started. "How sweet is thc innocent melody of the warbling bini." lie wrote, when a messenger boy fell through tho doorr sp?let a lot of rain water from his rubber coat onto tb? reporters shoes, and said: "Sign fer dis." He signed for the tele? gram and then starten to complete his sentence, but befoi-e he could think of a word a man came in and asked if he could have an old pair of pants. Then another entered with a "notice of our next part j-the Octopus Pleasure club, you know," and asked him to '"'senda reporter up." A man who said be had "read The Herald every day for thirty-four years" dropped ia on the reporters train of thought and Wanted to leave a communication on the drainage question. He signed it ''Vox Pupuli." By this time the re porter had written one line and an s^wered tlie telephone four times. 4*Guess I was otf on tlic melody of | one bird lightening up any gloom like j this," he said.

Stanley carried with him in his last desperate venture in Africa. And vet it B an old story. It occurs to tais paper to properly tell it: The weapon So much talked about is a Maxim gun. It was invented by a citizen of these United States. Ho was poor aird 'sought encouragement from our gov? ernment He got none. Ile went to England, where they saw its merits at erice and made him rich. So his gun is under control of the British govern? ment. At tho time when he com? menced his iuvestigatiens the three great machine guns of the world were Sie Gatling, the Hotchkiss and the Nordenhoff-the first two American, the last English. There was little dif? ference in their merits, save that the Hotchkiss was lighter and made for aeady transportation. Maxim, an American boy, said to himself, tliere ?re faults about these machine guns: 2. Thc turning of tho crank prevents anything like an aim. 2. Often the cartridges hang lire a little, but the crank turns on, and they explode at the wrong time. 3. Most of all, tho rapid firing heats the gun so that it is useless ano even dangerous in a few seconds. Tl ie Maxim gun overcame fill these defects. It is automatic. It needs no crauk. Pull the trigger once and it continues to load and lire itself so long as the supply of cartridges lasts. The power of "the recoil" does all tl*e wor'r, even to shooting a jet of water along the barre! to keep it cook lt fires TOO shots in a mitrate, and ali that the operator has to do is to aim iL This is the Stanley gun. Von cannot seo it in tito United Slates now, for it is owned by tlic government of Great Britain.-Oinciminti Ki:<ju ircr. Elevated Railroad Paruty>ts. Residents along the lines cf t!>e ele? vated railroads and JXTSOHS whose business has brought them on or near these lines have developed a singular periodicity in intervals of speech >?s ?ie result of enforced habit duringa considerable portion of their waiting existence. lu voluntarily they erase speaking, even in tin) middle of a sen? tence, at the cml of each accurately measured tenn of four minutes.

During tb?>se few seconds there sterns to have been entire cessation of mental action. The interruption is Hkeawinkin steady visual contem? plation, only that it isa little more protracted.

It is tho love that gives the awful sting to want, and makes its cruel fingers grip the throat as trever vise or grappiiog-hook took hold, and torture with a keener zest than fiends their victims I I/ove and Poverty ! It is the corubiuatio^ that devils invented to make a b,eft on earth. Let me ?*? you a case. In adorne where coialort is~-gor wealth-a mother sits, watching by night and day the awful hand of Death reach nearer, eloser to her precious babe, and nothing that skill or science eau suggest will stay the hand or heal thc aching heart ; and yet there is comfort in the thought tfeat all was done that love and wealth, and skill could do, and that it was na? ture's way. Bat take from her the com? fort of that thought. She watches with the same poor, breaking heart, but with the knowledge, now, to keep her com paoy, that science might, ah ! coiOd, push back the end, could even cure her babe if but the means to pay for skill and change and wholesome food and air were hers Is that no added pangf-j Is poverty^-no curse to her 2-T-A eursi<? the deeper for her depth ol love ? Thc rich know naught of this. It gives to life its wildest agony, to love its deep est hurt. j But let me tell you of another case. A stone's-throw from this hall, where pretty things are said week after week -and kindly meant, I know-of pov? erty and love-of the blessedness of these-there is a living illustration, worth more than all the theories ever spun, to tell you what 'realities of life' must be where love is great and pov? erty holds sway. Picture, with me, the torture "and despair of a refined and cultured woman who watches hour by hour the long mouths through, and sees the creeping feet of mental wreck and physical decay, and knows the mortal need of care and calm for him who is the whole cf life to her, and^for the want of that whieb others waste and hold as dross he must work on and on, hasteuing each day the eud 7te does not see, which shall deprive him of all of life except the power for ill ... . She will be worse than widowed and alone, for ever by her side sits Want, for him, tearing at every chord of heart and soul-cot for herself-but for that dearer ene, wrecked in the prime of life and left a clod endowed only with strength for cruel wrong, ?hose hand would sheath a knife in her dea. heart and laugh with maniac glee at his mad deeds. She saw the end. She kcew long months ago what was to be, if he must toil and strain his nerve and brain for need of that wbish goes from knave to knave, and hoards itself within ca? thedral walls, where wise men meet to teach the poor contentment with their lot! She knew he must not know; the knowledge of the shadow must be kept from his dear brain until the very end, by smiles, and cheer, and merry jest from her. Who dare teil her that riches are a curse ? and prate of 'dross' and cali on heaven to witness that its loss is only gain of joy and harbinger of higher, holier things? Who dare call her as witness for the bliss of pov? erty and love ? .With love f Ah, there is where the iron can burn and scar and open every wound afresh each day, make poverty a curse, a blight, a scourge, a vulture, irou-beaked, with claws of buming I steel, that leave no nerve untouched, no drop of blood unshed. 'With lovel' 'Tis there the hand of Poverty eau deal the deadliest blows, and'show, as nowhere else on earth, the value of that slandered, hoarded thing called wealth. .The root of evil'-'poverty with love !' Hypocrisy, iu purple velvet robed, behind stained g'ass, with strains of music failing on its ears, with table spread in banquet-ball below, bethought itself to argue thus to those itself had robbed ; while, thoughtless of its meau ? ing and its birib, the echo of its lying, j treacherous words comes from the pallid lips of many a wretch whose life has been a failure and an agony because of that which he himself extols. A lie once born contains a thousand lies, ano holds at bay the struggling, feeble I truth, if but that lie be fathered by a j priest and mothered by a throne-as j this one icasi 'The root of evil7 is the spring of jay. Decry it those who will, i And those who do not love, perchance, ! may laugh at all its need eau mean ; i but to thc loving, suffering p;>or bring I no more cant, and cease to voice the hollow words of ignorance and hypoc? risy. It is too cruel, and its deadly breath has long enough polluted syin j pathy and frozen up the springs of healthy thought, while sheathing ven? omed fangs iii breaking hearts.

From the report of the Commissioner of Agriculture at Washington, the English sparrow is tho worst curse to our country of any known bird.

A few mcnths ago a young man, Boyle, was sitting in a bar room playing cards Baker came up behind him and jambed his hat over his eyes. Hot words followed and the [ bar-keeper turned them ali out.

So much skilled j labor exchanges for so much money. ! Now let us suppose that a portrait I painter, vvhcu his skill has come-to ? maturity, discovers, by what Adam cSnaith calls thc higgling of the market, .Hhnt'thc value of one cf his portraits is ?200, and this state of things continues for ten years, during each of which his j time has been fully occupied. Ile has I painted, wc will say. one portrait a j month, and his annual income lias j been ?2,400 a year. Kow, every one ! would admit, indeed, no one could deny, that the painter earned by his skill just what his skill was worth. Thc world has known what he could produce, and thc judgment of the world, which in these cases is the ul? timate court of appeal, has settled the value of the product This applies, I say, to tlic first ten veal's during which the world has known him. At the end of this pe? riod, however, certain changes begin to.develop themselves. A new art critic has arisen, who has educated the public tasto; a considerable num? ber of immense fortunes have been made, the possessors of which have all of them artistic tastes; and ali of them want to have their portraits painted. The consequence is that the painter, instead Of having as formerly twelve commissions a year, has now sixty. He cannot execute aX. Ho cannot ex? ecute more than twelve Thc conse? quence is he has to raise his price, and instead of receiving ?200 for a portrait he finds that he literally has a thousand thrust upon him. Thus his income lises from ?2,400 a year to ?12,000. There is an increment of ?9,600. What has been the cause of this increment? Has tho painter been the causo of it? How can that bo? lie does nothing more than ho used to do. He is abie to do nothing more than ho used to do. He works no harder and no longer. He has no more skill. And yet there is an increment in his in? come of ?0,000. A similar phenomenon, and OTK? equally familiar, shows itself in the I case of doctois. A doctor at some 1 spa has a certain recognized skill in 1 dealing with a certain class of com- j plaints. His fcc is a, guinea, and his time is fully occupied. As years go ' ! on, however, an increasing number j j of rich people overeat themselves, and . como to tho waters over which this : doctor presides. Perhaps a king is among them, whom he happens to cure of a stomach ache. lie is at once beset by patients from every quarter of Europe, and his foo consequently j doubles itself. This increment is no ? more due to the doctor than a similar increment in the painter's case is due to the painter. To emote Mill's words, they have neither iJ them ''worked" any harder they, have neither of them "risked," they have neither of them ''economized." The increment hi their incomes has come to them, "as it were, in their sleep." It has come to thom in tho natural course of things -that is to say, in the doctors case, from an increasing number of rich men gorging, in the painter's case from an increasing number of rich men affecting a taste for art, in both from people in general being geese enough to follow the fashion.-The National Review. eauty Is desire*! and admired by. all.
