The Noise of the Finger.

An eminent physician says that when you poke the end ofyour fin ger into your ear, the roaring noise you hear is the sound of the circu- lation of your finger, which is the fact, as any one can demonstrate for himself by first putting his fin, gers in his ears, and then stopping them UP with some other snb- stance. Try it, and think what a wonderful machine your body is, that even the points of your fin gers are such busy workshops that they roar like small Niagara The roaring is probably caused by the blood. It is the voice of the vital processes at work together-the tear ing down and building up process es that are always going forward in every living body from conception down 10 death.

An Observing Man.

Some of the writings of tho late Baron Nestori have been publish ed in book form in Vienna, from which the following are selected:
 "I believe the worst of all men, including myself, and l am seldom deceived"
 "i once saw a celebrated race horse that had grown old, hitched to a swill catt. Since then l do not relish thinking about my flu. ture."
 Poverty is undoubtedly tue worst thing in the world. If were of fered a cool ten millions in gold to be poor, I'd refuse to accept the proposition"
 I can understand why people at- tend ball, but why anybody should give a ball is something en- tirely beyond my cOmprehenslon."
 "When two wolves meet in the woods neither of them has the slightest doubt as to what kind of animal the other is; but two men ne yer meet in tho forest without each suspecting the other of being rObber."
 "There is something irresistiOly facinating in the life of 3 spy.- One enjoys all the pleasures that a thief has, and yet is regarded as an honest man."
 "The man that carves is either a rascal or a fool. If he keeps the best, the choice piece for himself, he is rascal; if he does not he Is an ass."

Hendricks First Case.

"I gave Tom Hendricks his first , law case." remarked MT. Jacob Vern6n to Times reporter yes- terday at Independente. "That was away 'baek in the forties. Sas clerk of the circuit court of Shelby county In2., and young Hendricks had just returned home from law school at Washington, Pa. He was very industrious young man and seemed to be a natural born lawyer. At the time speak of a gentleman asked 4te in regard to lawyer to take charge of the settlement of an estate. I recon. mended Tom, and he maraged af- fairs in such a manner that it was but a short time until he had well established practice. He soon gained such reputation that he was sent to the legislature as a represent ative from that county. Alter that he was electe6 Q delegate to the constitutional convention. Here he gained state reputation by his earnest championship of question which come before the assembly. I was present at the convention, and was much amused at the inter est taken in Tom by a man named Mckenzie, who was Sholding the position of door-keeper. He came to me and asked me who that young fellow was who was speak ing. I told him that it was Tom Hendricks.
 "Where was he raisedF' said he.
 ''In the swamps of Shelby coun- N :" answered l.
 "Well he will make his mark In this world if he was raised in the swamps," remarked Mckenzie, and sure enougA he did, long ago.
 During Hendricks canvas fo congress the first time, accom- panied him over the district. Over in Hancock county there was a delegate elected who we thought would not vote as he talked.
 'I was clerk ofthe congressional convention, and met the delegate of Hancock and asked him 4 he would vote for Tom"
 "Vote for him." said he, Yes and stay there until the corn tassels nominate him. The fellow proved faithful and Tom received the nom- ination without any trouble.
 Hendricks was one of the most successful lawyers that ever went before a jury. He probably inheri- ted much of his g6od sense from his mother whom he favored in features and actions very much. His father, Major Hendricks, was a tanner by trade, and carried on q business at Shelbyville. There were four sons and two daughters. Abraham the eldest son was a Presbyterian minister, and died several years ago, James still lives at Shclbyville, and l believe is engaged in the mercantile pur- suits. Of the daughters, Jennie married Doctor Webb of Ken lucky who died a short time af- terward. She afterward married Dr. Pierce, of Indianapolis, but did not long survive his marriage. About two years after her death, Dr. Pierce married Anna, the younger daughter, with whom he now lives. Toms mother died at his house at Indianapolis only a few years ago.

 "Your experience" said the old man, "has indeed been terrible, but it has made a Christian of you. You should think of that and take courage. Ifyou had succeeded in acquiring the serpent you might to-day be among the lost. You must have suffered intensely from the pressure of the boa constric- tor"
 My sufferings were beyond all description. 1 Inever was in such a tight place before. Yousee the boa constrictor had one fold around my body,' and the young man placed his arm Around the oldg en- tleman's waist to unable him to un- derstand the situation. "The sec ond extended thus across my breast and around my neck, while the head of the hideous reptile was only few inches from my face"
