Astronomical.


 The astronomer of GooA,ES Nn re- ceutly said
 The sun is in opposition to Jupiter The aspect is very bad brings trouble in health, mind, and estate, and frequently death. Lawsuits are threatened etfronts and indignities to the native The planetary direction deranges the health, and denotes danger, apoplexy, pleurisy, bursting of blood-vesseIs and generally diSordcrcd state of the system. The position of the sun, which rules the health, being in the sign Aries (govern- ing the head) indicates particularly bad health, in addition to money losses to the native. Persons frequently lose for tunes when the sun is excited by con junction with Jupiter
 Now whether he promul gated this of his own personal knowledge, or copied 1t from some almanac, it must be evident to every candid observer that he hits the nail on the head, and the sooner the sun gets by Jupiter, good distance away from that quarrelsome planet, the better will everybody be pleased
 So this state of affairs is brought about by the juXtaposition of Old Sol and Jup, eh2 That's the reason our neighbor's $ dog howled so last Monday night and accounts for the generally blue appear ance of members of the board of trade, who didn't know about the effect this conjunction has on speculation. Proba- bly, Hdm{et had this i'll his mind when he addressed the ghost; Thou hast no speculation in thine eyes," Think back over the past two weeks, ordinarily gen tie reader Have your corns been extra painful? Has the better half occasion ally given you curtain lecture? Has the coffee been muddy? The sun has been in opposition to Jupiter. Have you been threatened with lawsuit Have book-canvassers and agents with out number worried you? Has your conscience been abnormally active Have you had the nose-bleed, either in the natural way or by hitting your nasal organ against some hard substance? Have you during the week had the pleurisy, apoplexy, St. Vitus' dance,

Literature's Mode of Growth.
lRoston Courier.


 Mr. Towels is credited with the say ing that the stories are all told: that it is idle to strive for or to expect absolute freshness or novelty of plot Possibly he is right-certainly, in d limited sense he is right But, as we have had occa- sion heretofore to point out in these columns, understood in even its broad est sense, the claim cannot be said to threaten the future of imaginative lit craturc The problems of life are old. but they are new to the individual Every one approaches them from fresh point of view: to no two persons are they precisely the same. The habits, environment, cast of mind imaginative force of two writers will produce vastly different results in the treatment of the same human problem--so different, in deed, that the one problem will seem to have become two.
 .tnd following along this pathway, we catch a glimpse of a literary truth which in it's statement, seems at first like a grave injustice. Lowell some where declares that
 Though old the thought. and oft expressed
 '1is his at last who says it best
 Is literature, then, only the resayng of the same things in varying forms? Are the writers of the nineteenth cen tury merely repeating what the writers of the sixteenth century said in diff ferent way? In short, is literature mere phrasc-making? Yes or mo And it may be that mere phrase-making" Is d more worthy and useful work than the cynical questioner can understand. Thoughts are not patented nor patent able. They are not liable to infringe ment, though their expressions may be. llerein perhaps, resides a theoretical injustice, but it is theoretical only. The worlds storchousc of ideas grows but slowly. It is the rarely gifted and for tmate man who, during a lifetime of literary activity, gives us a half dozen ideas of originality absolute. They will be the priceless gems of his life $ activity, but he may in the meantime have done d noble and perhaps an en- during work, though of less creative value. It is possible to give d thought new pertinence and interest by restate- ment. The elemental motives and pas slons of human nature were the same in the days of William the Conquerer that they are to-day, but all English lit crature has grown up between the two dates. Every century, indeed every generation, Ina, d east of mind to which the comedy and the tragedy of life mnst be fitted by contemporary writers.
 There is, to be sure one direction wherein there is going forward an en- largcment and enrichment of thought, of which the foregoing takes no notice Practical science constantly contributes, both by new discoveries of truth and by correction of old notions And as all truth is one, literature is helped and hroadened somewhat by these contribu- tions. But in the realm of pure litera- turc the growth of thought is slow and and refinement as by addition.

The Great Southwestern Music House

Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the cnterprising character of their business men, it k but natural that Memphis, Tenn, and Little Rock. Ark, should be the com merCial 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 deserves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of II. G. lIollenberg. A business career of over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have virtually con trolled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competitors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stock of the best makes of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods per taining to their line, and are prepared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered All goods handled by II. 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 fail to ob- tain llollcnbergs prices before ordering elsewhere.
