How to Tell the Time by Night.


 Perhaps the most ingenious thing in the way of an advertising novelty that has come out for many years, is unique contrivance issued by the Duffy Malt Whiskey Company, Baltimore Md, pro prietors of Dutfy's pure malt whiskey Unlike most things of the kind, with which the country has been deluged heretofore this is decided departure from the usual rut, and aside from be- ing one of the most attractive things we have eyer seen, 1t involves new dis covery in science, which is both interest ing and instructive. So valuable was this discovery regarded, it was awarded a first prize gold medal at the Brussels International Exposition, in 1876, and it seems almost like prostituting science to put it to advertising purposes, as it is something that is invaluable to institu- tions of learning, and would readily command q good price if put on sale However, the Duffy people, appreciating its importance, have gotten it out in the highest artistic style, such as will secure for 1t a permanent place in every home in the country.
 ]" The device is called Duffys Ancient Mariners Stellar Tmepiece its object being to furnish guide whereby the cor rect time may be ascertaincd at any hour of the night, by observance of the North Star and three other bright stars near it; the four stars forming Cross or Cru. cifix, which revolves round the celestial pole, like the hands of a clock By the aid of the Duffy device, which represents miniature Armament and tabular dial the time can be ascertained almost to a minute, which is destined to render it invaluable to mariners, hunters fisher men and to the masses generally, as af- ter little practice even child will be able to tell the time at night
 " Although the device is quite an ex- pensive one, the proprietors intend dis tributing it free and in time everybody in the country will have one. They positively refuse, however, to fill any re- quest for same by mail, unless accom- panied by six cents in postage stamps, as they are being flooded with applica- tiOns "

Beats Sam Jones.
[Des Moines Mail.I

"Lampasas Jake" the cowboy evan gelist who is holding revivals in New Mexico, can beat Sam Jones as yer nacular preacher Here is an abstract from one of his sermons: How many of yous are ready to die now with your boots on? Whered you be to break fast? Don't any of you drunken. swear ing fighting, blaspheming, gambling, theiving. tin-horn, coffin-paint exter- minating galoots, look at me ugly, be- cause l know ye. I've been through the drive. You're all in your sins You know a fat, well-cared for thoroughly branded steer when you see one, and you can tell whose it is and where it belongs. There's a man that owns it. There's a place for it to go. There's a law to protect it. But the maverick who's is that? You're all mavericks and worse. The maverick has no brand on him. He goes bellering about until somebody takes him in and clasps the branding iron on him But you whelps, you've got the devils brand on you. You've got his lariat about you He lets you have rope now, but he'll haul you in when he wants firewood

Beauty and Worth.

IRev. F. E. Naletta in St Louis Magazine.l
 Beauty and worth seem as antagoniS- tic as oil and water. IL appears as ii frugal mother nature, chary of her gifts and vet determined that all her children should be impartally endowed, where she has given beauty has almost always denied worth. Where, in eXcep- tional cases, both have been granted to one person, both have been sparingly !. given, unless, indeed, one looks through y handsome is that handsome does and \ sees great worth and beauty insepara- ply welded. Among mankind partic. ularly women, l believe there are almost no exceptions to the rule, although all rules are supposed to have exceptions Agrecably to this rule, all our men and women of sterling worth and intellect, should be plain if indeed not positively homely, and history and fact bears out the theory. All our great poets, histo- rians artists, scnlptors, musicians and statesmen have been and are people of very plain appearance. Notably has this been the case among women; given any intellect or ability at all above sim pering, giggling, gossiping mediocrty you descend eorrcspondingly toward masculine coarseneSs in feature and form. Conversely, our noted belles and society women, even our young and pretty girls, are for the most part devoid of mind, possessed only of beautiful bodies, animal and animal souls Not in mental worth alone deficient, but in moral as we'll all beauties being unfail- ingly selfish, often sensual, soulless and fickle Equally, too, is all unusual mas -culine beauty and elegance confined to fops and brainless dudes. Small won der that our proverbs from time immc- morial have taught us, beauty is but skin deep beauty like the rose, soon fades away" etc. and cautions Us against it.

Laughing at the Teacher.
lExchange.

The adage, " It's easier said than done, is only a variation on what we are con stantly observing in life of the difference between theory and practice. We may be fully equipped with theory, and ever ready glibly to expound it, though when the occasion arises for putting it into practice we forget all about it.
 The teacher of chemistry in large public school was speaking to his class of the properties of a particular acid. In one hand he held glass vessel filled with the acid in question: in the other he held stick of chalk with which he had just been writing chemical for mula on the blackboard.
 By the way" he said, addressing his class, 'l may remark here, that should any of you by accident spill any of this acid on your hands, should advise you not to give way to the very natural i'm pulse to rub it off with your pocket handkerchief Take a piece of chalk instantly, and rub it over the wet sur face, and the chalk will neutralize the effects of the acid"
 Just then, by an accidental movement, he spilled the acid on his own hand Quick as a shot he dropped the piece of chalk which he held in his hand, pulled out his pocket-handkerchief, and began rubbing the injured hand vigorously.
 Everybody who was present laughed at this unexpected application of theo- retical knowledge; and after bewil- dered glance round the room the teacher laughed, too.
 The demonstration of the difference between theoretical knowledge and practical efficiency was complete.

In a Hurry.
[Exchange,l

The unbecoming haste shown by some widowed persons to find second wife or husband is rather amusingly illus trated in the following story. A capa- ble and well-behaved Irish servant girl asked permission of her mistress to at tend a wake. Her request was granted.
 4 short time after, she presented her self before the lady of the house, with the announcements
 Sure, ma am, I'm going ter lave yer
 Are you, Bridget? I'm very sorry. Has anything taken place in the house that has displeased you?"
 Displaced is it, ma a'am? Niver bit! I'd be glad to wurrick fur ye all me days, but-but-I ixpect to be married, ma am"
 "Indeed?"

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 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. q. Hollenberg 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. q. 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 fail to ob- tain Hollenberg's prices before ordering elsewhere Address, II. G.
