MT. Hendricks Humor.
(St. Louis Republican,

During Mir. Hendricks serious illness a couple of years ago went in his room one morning and found him looking at the afflicted foot with an amused smile on his face and the familiar sparkle in his eye. "What do you find SO interest ing in that contemplation, governor 2" l asked as took the hand stretched out to me. He pointed to the foot wrapped up in numberless bandages and elevated on the footboard of the bed at what seemed, as MT. Hendricks' was tall man, good distance from the head. "Doesn't it look like rabbit sitting on a log2" he said, and with two ends of the bandages accidentally exposed on either side like ears, it certainly did. "Well," he con- tinued, "I've been thinking, though I haven't shot for long time, that with a good gun could hit it, and if I suc- ceeded it would at least have the effect of changing Thompson's everlasting ques- tion of How is the foot doing, to Where in thunder has the foot gone. {" Thompson was the family physician. to whom he was much attached.

The orea, 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 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 6ll 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 before ordering elsewhere. Address, H. G. Hollenberg, Memphis, Tenn, or Little Rock, Ark.

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 gNaraNkee cure to all afflicted with Bnght'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 of these waters in kidney troubles, we refer ts 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.

Daniel webster and the Bible.
iExchanRe.1

Though Webster's fame rests chiefly upon his oratorical powers, he was re- markable, too, for his familiarity with the bible In fact, his colleagues once nick named him the Bible Concordance of the United States Senate. How he earned this title, and how the bible influ- enced his literary style, is told by the
 XoHtA's CombaHion:
 While mere boy he read with such power and expression that the passing tesmsters, who stopped to water their horses, used 10 get Webster's boy" to come out beneath the shade of the trees and read the bible to them.
 Those who heard MT. Webster, in later life, recite passages from the Hebrew prophets and psalms, say that he held them spellbound, while each passage, even the most familiar, came home to them in new meaning. One gentleman says that he never received such ideas of the majesty of God and the dignity of man as he did one clear night when MT Webster, standing in the open air, recited the eighth psalm
 Wehsteg's mother observed another old fashion of New England in training her son. She encouraged him to memor ize such scriptural passages as impressed him. The boys retentive memory, and his sensitiveness to bible metaphors and to the rhythm of the English version, stored his mind with scripture.
 On one occasion the teacher of the dis trict school offered jack-knife to the boy who should recite the greatest num- Der of verses from the bible When Webster's turn came, he arose and reeled of so many verses that the master was forced to cry, Enough |" It was the mothers training and the bows delight in the idioms and music of King James version that made him the '' Biblical Con. cordance of the Senate"
 But these two factors made him more than concordance" The Hebrew prophets inspired him to eloquent utter ances. He listened to them, until their vocabulary and idioms, as expressed in King ames' ranslations became his mother tongue. Of his lofty ut.erances it may be said, as Wordsworth said of Milton's poetry, they are Hebrew in soul" Therefore they project them selves into the future.
 The young man who would be a wri- ter that shall be read, or an or rator whom people will hear, should study the Eug- fish bible. Its singular beauty and great power as literature, the thou and senti- ments and associations which use has attached to it, have made it a mightier torce than any other book.

Ned Bun,line's Writing.

Tia Bis gave some account of "Ned Buntl'ne's early life lately. He told the Detroif Free Press the other day about his writing.
 was the earliest writer of serial stories in this country" said Colonel Judson, in response to a question. "I wrote The King of the Seas,' 'The Queen of the Seas The Black Aven- ger,' and The Red Avenger.' in the Boston Flag of Me Union, the first serial story paper. In those days they thought $Ioo was fine pay for four hundred pages of manuscript"
 And now ?"
 "Well, the New York Weekly pays $2,ooo to S2 500 for each story, and they run one ot mine all the time"
 "l have written under many names" continued Colonel Judson The best known is undoubtedly Ned Buntline.' have written a great many under the name of Clew G Garnet.' have also used Miss Julia Edwards great deal An army officer fell deeply in love with Julia Edwards, and wrote letters very much desiring my hand in marriage. an- swered some of them for a time. He finally wrote that he was coming to War renton, Va where was staying at the time. then had to write him telling him his mistake suppose he would willingly have killed me.
 "l used to pay great deal of atten- tion to romances of the frontier, but they have been run into the ground. There have been so many imitators. and they have written such trash One of these fellows is Prentiss lngraham, whose father was great author. Most of these Indian stories are full of slang that you never hear on the plains. Of course, there are some vagabonds that may talk that way, but those frontiersmen that are worth anything talk about like anyone else. now write mostly tales of the war and the sea.
 Y" bend myself very closely to my work, and whes am ia the deepest of my stories hardly eat or drink. 1 have a library in which work, and no one comes near me there. isolate myself from my family, and apply myself heart lily to my work.

MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The ignorance of some people who wear fine clothes and have plenty of money is absolutely astounding. A mag nihcently dressed lady entered an estab. lishment on Broadway, and priced music boxes.
 "Thirty-6ve dollaxs for music box That's an outrageous price"
 But, madame, il plays seven tunes" explained the salesman.
 "Well, how much will you charge for 1t if it only has to play four tunes ?''

 Nothing, except tomorrow is my birthday, and the young lady to whom 1 am engaged is going to call at the house to congratulate me, and make some little present. don't care to be there when she calls"
 !" don't understand you, Van Slyck. If l was engaged to young lady, and she was going to call and see me on my birthday. l should be the happiest man in New York"
 "Yes, but the other two are going to call also-all three of them are going to call on me, if am there, don't you under stand ?" and he hurried into the depot to catch the three o'clock train.

NOT A POETESS,

Judge Dusenberry took tea at the Sykes mansion on Fifth avenue one night last week. Conversing with Miss Sykes, Judge Dusenberry remarked:
 am delighted, Miss Sykes, with the poetry of your friend, Miss Skimmerhorn, but, of course, you yourself don't write poetry"
 How do you know don't write poetry 2" replied Miss Sykes, somewhat piqued, for she has written a number oi poems tor publication.
 "I know you are not poetess, because as rule, all ladies who write poetry are very homely"
 "You are quite right, Judge Dusen- berry," replied Miss Sykes, with great dignity, "the cares of the household pre- clude me from cultivating the muses, even if were ever so mnch disposed to do so."
