The Great Southwestern Music Hous,

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 @i 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 lest m akes of pianos and 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. G. Hollenberg are comprised in 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. G. Hollenberg, Memphis, Tenn, or Little Rock, Ark.

Having Company to Dinner.
Good Housekeeping.


 All preparations that can possibly be mad the day preceding the dinner are so much clear gain. Not only many orders to marketman and grocer can be given, but the soup may be made, the veal or sweetbreads cooked for the scalleps, the almonds roasted and salted and the jelly and cake made. Leave little ia the culi- nary line until the last moment and su. perintend the setting of the table your. self. Having plates, dishes. 6nger-bowls, fruit, everything that will be needed, con- veniently arranged in the pantry, the ser- vice for each course by itself. See that oil and vinegar hlsks are filled and placed with the powdered sugar, salad bowl, fork and spoon that the spoons or forks needed are with the dessert saucers that each 6nger-bowl has its napkin or doyley and plate under it and its fruit knife beside it. A dainty addition is that of carnation, or bit of geranium, or citron aloes floating in the finger-bowl. It is less stereotyped than slice of lemon, and preferable to any perfumed waters. Let the coffee tray have cups, saucers and tiny spoons, sugar bowl and creamer arranged upon it, only needing the coffee-pot to be complete.
 Few mistresses have suff iently we'll trained servants to obviate the necessity ot personal supervision of these minutie and much sinking of heart and dreading of defects and omissions will be spared the hostess by half an hours work Tn the dining-room before she goes to make her toilet. Servants, too, feel company less Of hurden if little aseicfanre of thiS kind is given them. Even with an ex- perienced butler it is well to have a com plete bill of fare clearly written out and tackled up in the pantry. Mark on it where forks, knives or plates must be changed, and give orders that the articles needed later in the dinner shall be washed immediately upon their removal from their first service. Few things are more disagreeable than to have plates or spoons to be used for salad or ice cream come on the table smoking from the hot water from which they have just been drawn.

ramous Medicine Men.

l Messrs. Root & riuker, of New York City,
 who have published from time to time hand
 some Autograph portraits of the prominent
 journalists of the United States and Great
 Britain, have just issued very attractive en-
 gravine, a2 by 28 inches, of the leading Pro-
 prietary Medicine Manufacturers of the
 United States, including Or. l. C. Aver, C. I. I Hood, pr. Hostetter of Hostetter's 8itters, ,' 1 John Hodge, of" Merchants Gargling Oil, |
 Mir. Scott of " "Scoit's Emulsion," Dr. l. H.
 Schenck. H E. BucRlen of" Electric BitteTs,' T
 Mir. Powell oi Iron Bitters," pr. Tut, Dr. Brandreth of" Brandreth's Pills," and H. H. Warner of" Warner's Safe Cure" and Tip pacanoe" fame. We doubt if a more attrac-
 tive looking group of eleven men could be | gottogether from any one walk of life. As is quite appropriate, the central figure is H. l H. Warner, the back ground of whose wig
 nette is his trade mark of an iron safe, in | scribed with the names of the famous War
 ner's Safe Remedies. MT. Warner is the
 most prominent as well as the most sue l cessful proprietary medicine manufacturer this country has yet produced. and his zeal | in the prosec utioH of his business grew out of the fact, in large measute that he himself, when given up to die as incurable of an ex- | treme kidn-y disorder, in 1879. was cured by | the remedy to which he has given worldwide fame" Warmers Safe Cure" The sale of the " Warner's Safe Remedies " has been SO widely extended that warehouses and laoot- ator1cs for their manufacture have been es-
 tablishcd in all quarters of the globe, not the least prosperous being one in far distant Aus
 tralla. People have erroneous notions, bot l of the motives and charac'er of proprietary
 medicine men. AS a rule they are solid, sub | stantal, trustworthy citizens, who win the success that comes to them purely on the 1 merit of the goods they produce and of the
 work they perform. This is especially true of the central figure of this group. This picture
 hanging side by side with prominent ,urnal
 ists. reli ,ious, political aad foreign, wil probably attract more att tention than those
 famous editorial writers, because there Is
 hardly person who walks the street, who
 has not either used some of the remedies
 manufactured by these men, or had their in
 terest stimulated in the gentlemen themselves by the record made by their remedies among personal friends. This picture is sent out with the compliments of Mir. H. Fl. Warner, who, besides having won such distinguished fame as the m manutacturer of" Warmers safe
 Cure,' is well known as the founder of the Warner Astronomical Observatory" Koch ester, N. Y., and the Warner Astronomical
 Przes," !" for cometary discovery, so eagerly sought for by astronomers all over the world. Mir. Warner is a self-made man, and those who know him best say that the success which he has won thus early in life Che being at present not over 45 years Of age), is in all respects eminently deserved. for he IS a man of very broad views and wide-extended liber- alty.

A Guarantee.

Of all the diseases to which mankind IS subject there is not one that more completely baff1es medical skill than Bright's disease of the kidneys. Nature, however, has supplied the remedy which science has tried in vain to provide. The waters of Griffin Spring, Ark, will not only relieve, but will positively cure Bright's disease. It has been cured by the use of these waters, and so positive are we that they will cure in every in- stance, that we gHar&nkee cure to all afflicted with Bright's disease or any other kidney affection, who will come and use the waters as advised. By "guarantee is meant that unless cure is effected, 3he patient will be under no expense whatever while at Griffin Spring. Visit ors whose cases require it, will receive the best of medical attention from Dr. T. A. Krider, resident physician. AS to the efficacy of these waters in kidney troubles, we refer te John H. Reslear, of Genoa, Nance Co., Neb., who, after sui- fering during several years with Bright's s disease, was completely restored by a three weeks visit to Griffin Spring. Wm. Allen, of Little Rock, Ark, suffered 37 years with kidney complaint, and was cured by tke use of these waters. Hon. C. R. Breckenridge, M. C., Washington, D. C., Hon. Lecil Bobo, San Antonio, Tex, H. J. Deal, Charleston, Mo-, F. M. Threadgill, Lynchburg, Va, and Rev. A. R. Kennedy, Little Rock, Ark, will all be ar testimony to the efficacy of the waters of this spring. Parties interested may write kO any of thA Centleman mentioned above, for confirmation of our statement. Griffin Spring is but three and one half miles from the railroad, and less than four hours ride from Little Rock. The hotel affords the best of accommodations to guests, and there is nothing lacking in the surroundings to make it a pleasant resort. For further information address

 Fogg-Ah, that's just it. It is such a pleasure to talk to man who doesn't know it all, and interrupts you before you get half through. Why, you can tell the same stories to Henderson every day for a month, and they are just as fresh to him the last day as the first. l tell you, sir, there's no man like better than the man who forgets things just as fast as you can tell them to him.

WHEN THE OLD ELEPHANT
 CAME.
Eopie P. Read, in New York Mercuy.l

EOPle r. Reao, In NeW fofk MercNrY.l Colonel Millbank was proud, arro. gant sort of man. The pleasant faces he met along the street held no charm for him. He had pever been known to com nit cruel act, yet people said that he was utterly without feeling. When his wife was buried he stood beside the grave, apparently unmoved, and the next day he went about his business as usual. ct is strange" said generous man who had just made an assignment, "how such man as Millbank can be success ful in business.
 Such men are generally successful, <" friend replied. "Hard-heartedness suc- ceeds where gentleuess strives in vain. 1" Millbank was not wholly regardless of others. He loved his little boy with a devotion forgetful of all self. So soon as he had entered his house the hard lines would melt from his face, and his eyes, so cold to all others, would glow as if a soul had suddenly sprung into them. How is my little angel "the father asked one evening as he took the child on his lap and fondly kissed him.
 "Well, '" the little fellow replied.
 Emmet, do you know that every morning when awake and 6nd you well l feel so thankful to God that ought to spend the rest of the day in worshipping Him?"
 "No, do you ?"
 "Yes, little angel"
 "An' when the old elephant comes will you take me to see him2"
 "Yes."
 "When will he come?"
 "Next week"
 "Will he be here in the mornin' ?"
 "No, he won't come until next week." 1"
 "Tell me about him."
 "Well, he will come marching down the street with his great long snout, and the little boys and girls will clap their hands and laugh. Then he will go out ;o great big tent and the boys will give him apples"
 "An' might give him one ?"
 "Yes."
 "An' he won't bite me, eiver, will he P"
 "No."
 "What will he do2"
 {" He will take the apple with his snout and put it in his mouth.
 "He will2"
 "Yes, and then he'll want another one"
 e wish he was here now"
 "Hell be here pretty soon. There now, papa must go down town, he added, as he smoothed back the boys beautiful hair and kissed him.
 He passed into the street. The divine light had faded ; the hard lines were again on his face.
 "When will the old elephant come?" the boy asked when another morning had dawned.
 It won't be long, now"
 "l'll be awful glad when he does come. Pm keepin' this big red apple for him, an he'll be glad to get it, won't he2"
 "Yes, he will"
 "He' Il say to himself this is the best apple ever did eat,' won't he2"
 "Yes, he will think it is very fine"
 Physicians came and came again. A little feverish hand held red apple. The tears of a heartbroken man fell upon ringlets of beautiful hair. Women came with their gentle hands and soft whispers. Another day dawned. A red apple on the mantelpiece caught ray of sunlight. Then came the roll of drums, the clash of cymbals. Feathers nodded, people shouted. The father lifted his swollen eyes from a little coffin and glanced through a window. The old elephant ac hn hnucA

the party of which Captain Dement, was
one Several of them escaped, but | think
none were released, as stated by Admiral
Dahlgren, as it would have been giving
men their liberty who would quickly have
communicated with the authorities at
Richmond or on the Rapid Ann, thereby
insuring greater dangers to him. Captain
Dement, vas an old acquaintance Of Colo
mel Dahlgren. The same volley that
killed Dahlgren killed Dement'S horse In
the darkness Dement, escaped, but, over
hearing some OF the men regretting his
escape, saying they would surrender to
him sooner than 90 through a country Of
which they knew nothing without
leader, he made himself known and ac.
cepted their surrender, turning them over
in the morning as prisoners Of war to the
party who had made the night attack.
Captain Dement, secured Colonel Dahlgren 8
sword, and after General Lees surrender
forwarded il to the brave Federal officer 8
mother
Probably the most ludcrous thing about
the whole affair was the escape and return
to camp of Hurry, Sherburne and Win
| gate, No camp-fres were allowed that
night, and the guards were doubled. joe
Franklin and Welch Owens, of the First
Maryland Artillery, were on outpost to-
gether. Hearing Hurry's voice, Ovens
said Franklin keep quiet. Here comes
| Hurry. When ! call halt, we will sim
ultaneously cock our guns" and Hurry
came up all unconscious, his tongue going
like mill-clapper. When Owens. dis
pusing mis- voice, called "Haltl-who goes
there?' the clicking of gun-locks came
together, and poor Hurry exclaimed in a
wo-begone voice. There, bless God, we re
| gone again"
Franklin and Owens laughed so heartily
that Hurry and his party we're obliged to
| join in, and then, turning to Owens, he
exclaimed; Great Scott, Welch Ovens !
Isn't it bad enough to have been in the
hands of the Yankees all day, without
being scared to death by your friends?'
1t is easy to see what great an injury might
have been done to General Lees army but
for Hurrys brazen GOODNESS.
The true soldier always poets bravery
and all true soldiers pay the tribute of
highest bravery to the Boy Soldier, Dahl
gren, no matter on which side they
fought.
