Almida Taft, of Sadorus 111. has a canary that snores. About two o'clock one night last week its snores became so loud as to arouse the household. A search about the premises failed to reveal the cause of the noise until the sitting '-oom door was opened and it was found to ema nate from the bird-cam Tbe bird being awakened, the noise instantly ceased. I no owner of the bird regard.- it now as a very musical canary, and the neidibors all declare they never heard the like of its snores, which become more pronounced with each sueceedinsr day. O a "While the colfee and cigar were jKmio- on at a o r dinner in Washington not long ago, (Jen f Sheridan, who was one of the iicvr ! JIIAL. ouests. entertained his neighor. who hapjiened to be the proprietor and editor of a well known western newspaper, with some observations on the Franco Prussian, war and on the propeet that the nations would soon have to abandon war as a method of deciding questions of state. Sheridan was full of admira tion for the bravery and gallan try of the French, whom he pro nounced as fine soldiers as one could wish to see. He said they were not properly ottiecred in their war with the Prussians, and he plainly intimated that it was to this fact that the ( .ermans lowed their success. The general said he was str ongly of the opinion that the time was rapidly approaching when ever the richest nations will not alford to go to war. This will be due to the discovery i of new explosives, .-o terribly destructive in character that they will kill whole regiments at a single discharge.
