How He Got Even.
Detroit Free Press.J

Last year Mississippi farmer sold a country merchant bale of cotton. The country merchant marked and shipped it to his cotton factor in New Orleans where it was sold for exportation and finally found its way to Manchester, Eng When the bale was opened by the spin ner it was found to contain the half of a grind-stone weighing about fifty pounds Of course the spinner made reclam ation through his American buyer on the New Orleans merchant, and that party in like manner made reclamation on the Missis- sppi merchant, the piece of grind-stone accompanying the demands as voucher When it had reached Mississippi there was posted on it slip of paper giving it's weight and history of its voyage.
 The Mississippi merchant was some what timid and hesitated to charge the farmez with false packing, so he con- cluded to abide his tune. About month ago the farmer came to town with more cotton to sell, but the merchant declined to buy it, saying that he was not in the market that day, but that he would be glad to sell him anything in his line at bottom prices, in fact, "so sheep as never before vaS."
 When the farmer had sold his cotton and priced goods at other stores he re. turned to the first merchant, and, finding his prices much below those of other merchants, he bought quite large bill from him, among other things barrel of sugar al one cent per pound less than to be had elsewhere.
 Now was the chance to get even, so he filled the barrel himself, placing the piece of grind-sione in the middle. The far mer placed his purchases on his wagon and carried them home.
 A few days ago, while measuring out some of the sugar for his farm hands, his scoop struck something hard, and upon investigation he discovered and recog. nized the piece of grind-stone.
 He took it out of the barrel and read the inscription on it, to which the mer- chant had added:
 "Vlvdy bound of shugar safed, ish vivdy bound of cotting losht-don't i'd ?"

The Great Southwestern Music House.

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 of 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 and organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining 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 H. C. Hollenberg 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. Hollenberg, Memphis, Tenn, or Little Rock, Ark.

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 Brights 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 guarantee a 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 a cure IS effected, the 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 ot these waters in kidr ey troubles, we refer to John H. Reslear, of Genoa, Nance Co.,, Neb., who, alter sui- fering during several years with Bright's disease, was completely restored by a three weeks visit to Griffin Spring Wm. Allen, of Little Rock, Ark, suffer ed 37 years with kidney complaint, and was cured by the 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 1T testimony to the efficacy of the waters of this spring. Parties interested may write to any of the gentlemen mentioned above, for confirmation of our statement. Griffin Spring is but three and one halt 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

Our Sad Humorists.
New York Morning Journal. 1

lNCW hoIk MOIhlnB journal.
 People who read Samuel L. Clemens books have an idea that fun rlses as spon- taneously in him as do bubbles in bot tie of champagne when the cork pops People are very much mistaken. Writ ing fun is a serious business with MT. Clemens He prepares himself for it by fasting and dreaance. Then he shuts him. self up in gloomy room, and, like Lord Dundreary's bird of feather that flocked all by itself, conspires alone over what joke he shall perpetrate.
 Having evolved the so-called fun Mir. Clemens emerges from the scene of con- spiracy and the chamber m lid enters and sweeps up the hair that he has torn from his noble brow. MT. Clemens has to order a new wig after every new book he shakes out at long-suff.ring people. He became bald while he was plotting over the early chapters of "lnnocents Abroad"
 He had to write something funny about acandle. After three days solitary cog itation the thought struck him that a candle was ghas-tly substitute. He actually wrote that, but he was afraid to father it when the "Innocents Abroad 1" was published. The joke appears in the book, but it is labeled "The Actors Joke"
 MT. Clemens walks around safe because he wears a mask. He signs hims elf Mark Twain," so as to escape the thous- ands who want to get even with him, the thousands who have cracked all the but tons off their vests and earned pains in their ribs laughing at what he has written.
