 The Parisian French is remarkably idicmatic and some of the idioms are worthy of adoption.
 We say, sOne of these days :" a Frenchman says, "One of these fozr mornings" etc.
 Sometimes we hear it said. "One can't do a thousand things at once :" the French say, |" One cannot accomplish thirty-six things in a breath"
 Where we say that we are "sorry that it happened" the French state tn at they are desolated that circumstances have contrsriated monsieur or madame
 Where we characterized a person as
 wild, careless, or too gay and reckless" the French say he is infected"
 It any one tells good story, nearly every one in the TO om will cry out: "And number twol'

The Great Southwestern Music House


 Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the enterprising character of their business men, it is but natural that Memphis, Tenn, and Little ROCK, Ark, should be the commercial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there is none that stands higher or better de- serves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of H.. G. Hollenberg. A business career af over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have virtually controlled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee, Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competi. tors These houses carry the largest and most complete stock of the best m akes of pianos aud organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining to their line, and are prep ared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered. All goods handled by H. c. Ncllenberg are comprised in a neat catalogue which will be mailed free to any address. Par ties contemplating the purchase of a piano, or organ, or musical merchandise of any description, should not tail to ob- tain Hollenberg's prices befor. ordering elsewhere. Address, H. c.

"The Old Oaken Bucket" {"

lNorwOod Bowne, in Delaware Express.I
 According to the Hartford Conyask the familiar poem, The Old Oaken Bucket. :" was written by Samuel Woodwork in 1879, just after he had drank water from a bucket at we'll in Cromwell, Conn.,. which was on the premises of the late Captain James Riley. The poet was then teaching district school on Prospect Hill, in that town.-Exehange.
 Such IS not our understanding of the origin of the poem spoken of. When a lad, living in New York, we knew Wood. worth well, and he was the first person we ever saw " at the case, setting type. He was man of fine intellectual attainments. a ready writer, poetry being his forte. But, like many another brilliant intellect. he was cursed with an irrepressible thirst for liquor. We have always understood the history of his writing The Old Oaken Bucket to be this, and our impression is formed from early recolfections and in- formation:
 Woodwork at the time worked in A printing office (where we knew him) in the Bowery, near Pump, now Can al street. A friend and neighbor from his old home to- gether they repaired to a neighboring tavern, where they imbioed pretty freely. Taking an unemptied glass in hts hand, Woodwork extolled the excellence of the liquor. saying it was the best drink of which he had ever partaken.
 No, Sam," said his companion, "I think l can call your attention to drink that far surpassed this. It was the pure. refreshing crystal water that you and l used to drink from the old oaken bucket that hung in your fathers we'll"
 The reference to his old Massachusetts home and its surroundings, recalling the days of his freedom from drink, com pletely broke him down. He at once left the place, and returning to the printing office, seated himself at a table from which he did not rise till the poem that has become so celebrated was completed.

Beauty of Women.
lColumbus Bohemian. 1

oOuCLHldu.I
 A lively discussion has broken out in an eastern city over the question: Are women handsomer now than they were a hundred years ago? The participants in the controversy are evidently young men, for 1t is noticeable that none of them bases his opinion on personal observation Several of them compare the women of to-day whom they know or have seen with the por'r its of the celebrated beau- ties of century ago to be found in col iections of ancient prints, but, though such comparison is manifestly unfair to the James of long ago, it is pleasing to know that even on such q showin 2 there are some writers who insist that the women of the last century were the bet ter looking. The men who hold thus must be chartaoly inclined and willing to overlook many things, for there are few objec,s in this world more irightful than the prints that have been handed down to us by the generations of wood butchers which precs ded this one Wo- men of the present day will De gratifed with the reflection that, should any such controversy as this arise hundred years hence thers will be many very beau,i- ful nineteenth century prints in existence. and they will not show to a disadvantage even in comparison with the flesh and blood of that day.
 One youth on jumping into the eastern arena made what might be called a pretty bad break, though it was thoroughly characteristic of adolescence. Waving aside the factions contending over the venerable prints and the animated ladies ot the present age, he declared that any body with half an eye could sec that wo- men are growing handsomer all the time by simply comparing the girls of to day with their mothers and grandmothers. Poor fool, he will have the whole town on top of him for saying that, and forty years hence, when his own girls, fresh and at- tractive as they may be, set up any such claim in word or act he will know how to rebuke them. Beauty is not of locality or day. Pickle and inconstant, it comes to nearly every woman, as it has since the world began, and it rarely departs with out leaving trace. 1. must be consid- cred very remarkable, however, that such discussion as this should arise in Bos- ton, Mass.

When impure, requires remedy that will go through and remove it's impuri- ties, improving and increasing its quan. tity, as well as quality. and acting direct ly upon the blood corpuscles. The red corpuscles Of the blood owe their color principally to Iron, so that when this im- portant element is deficient in the system its absence is indicated by lack of color in the hands and face, hstlessness, general feeling, etc Browns Iron Remedy Is a preparation containing Iron in a form as near as possible to that in which it exists in the blood. and as an evidence that such Is the case, we call attention the remark able avidity with which it is taken up and assimilated by the blood, in remov. ing all of its impurities
