A Pensylvanian has taught a canary bird to sing " Home, Sweet Home" in this way. — He placed the canary in a room where it could not hear the singing of other birds, suspended its cage from the ceiling so that it could see its reflection in the mirror, and beneath Ithe- glass placed a musical box that was regulated to play no other tune but "Home Sweet Home." Hearing no other sounds but this, and believing the music proceeded from the bird ft saw in the mirror, the young canary soon began to catch the notesand finally got so that it sings the song perfectly. An incident tbat happened at Toulouse the other day, reproduces a page from Victor Hugo. The correspondent of a Melbourne paper tells how two men fell from tbe tall tower of the Church of the Cordeliers, at Toulouse* One is dead, and the survivor's story is that be was pushed over by bis friend, in a quarrel about a divison of the proceeds of a certain underground burglary. They had gone up the tower to take the bearings of a tunnel they were running into the cellars of the Bank of France, and sure enough the tunnel was found within a few inohes cf its destined object. That was something like a romance, only with no love in it.
