cCoNOMY IN THE FAMILY.

The time is arising when the introduction
Of more economy in the family expenses will
become imperative. Among our mercantile
people in the cities hear Of many failures,
80 that families who have been living in op>
ulsncs and extra2agance that plain woman
like myself knows scarcely anything about,
will be obliged to economic fearfaly. They
will have to ssops . totally different conrse
Of life. Luxuries will have to be abandoned,
aud unless they have wealthy friends to lean
on for succor, they may bs driven TO the
dreadful alternative-even the wiyes and
daughters-to labor for their own support.
The change will be terrible, heart>rending to
them, but il will no doubt promote their
health and digestion, enable them to sleep
soundly, and wake upia the morning with
the consciousness that tie breakfast about to
be eel before them they have earned BY the
sweat OF their brow.
We have no doubt, however, that such Z
change will in the end prove beneficial. The
wastetulness, extravsgance and excess OF
the American people, in eating, drinking and
dressing, has no. parallel in the history ol
the world; and all this has been against
health, happiness and morals. When. a. q
nation, We tread in the footsteps Of the old
nations, we sLall have to follow them as f;.m.
lies and individuals. If we 90, therefore

Switzerland, France, Germany. Sweden and
Russia, may take lessons in our future
modes Of lie. In health anPsi:or they are
among the first people Of tho earth, yet theil
expenditures are nothing in comparison to
ours. Indeed, the waste Of y common mer,

At the close Of Judge Bingham's speech
the 6sal plea of the Managers-a number
Of per sons in the galleries applauded him,
whereupon the Chief Justice anerily called
"ordes." The manner in which be did il,
instead of having the desired effect, only
made The applause more general. The
Chicago Times Dem. Telegram has the fol,
lowing:
While the noise was at its loudest. the
Chief Justice, in an angry tone, ordered the
Sergeant.at>Arms to clear the galleries, but
il was manifest that withoutth consent OF ths
offenders the rr1er could not te execnted. A
few cried out, lie can'ldo IT," HE hasn't
nen enough;r I'VE won't 60 out" and
other indications that they meant what they
said, and we're determined not to be put
out.
The Doorkecper attempted 70 enforce the
order BY announcing i, but they were very
slow to move.
The Senators beginning 70 get alarmed, for
really tho scene began to smack Of the
French revelation, when the crowd used to
overawe the National Assembly, Mr.. Grimes
angrily asked, after surveying the scene,
why the order was not enforced forthwith, to
which the Chief Justice, who seemed to be
getting quite nervous explained that the or
der would be enforced.
A yollsy Of hisses for Grimes came next,
and that, too, from the most respectable
part Of the galleries. Many . finely dressed
lady contributed to them. An attempt VA
made to get up . more violent insult in the
way Of loud "bab," and some hootings were

FOOL OR KNAvE--WHICHi

That conglomerate mass of monoto- nous absurdities, recognized as the ed itor of the Little Rock Republican, makes use of the following language in commenting upon paragraph from inc Gazette, in which his loyal optics discovered the highly reasonable words "active measures
 The legislature will doubtless "make a note" of these pro rebel intimations of another rebellion, and prepare an efficient militia system at as early day as practicable. Steps should be taken to put into the field well equipped and well organized militia, under the command of officers who have "seen ser vice. and know how 10 handle troops.
 There is excellent material to form a reliable and effestive militia force in the State, and in view of the rebellious tendencies of the Conservative white men" aforesaid, negotiations should immediately be opened for a supply of ammunition, and few thousand im- proved Springfield muskets.'
 If the cx-rebels want war, let us be prepared to give 1t them at once, and "all along the line"
 Now if the aforesaid did then and there believe that anything more was meant than the proper exercise of the few rights the people may yet have left them, in driving these carpet-bag pestilents from power in this State, then we grant you that he is the prince of fools and is entitled to wear the pa- per crown, for who could dispute the

title with him? Every man in Arkan- . sas, of ordinary intelligence, knows that the "conservate white men" of the State are the most peaceable, quiet and law-abiding. We know they arc to the very utmost extent, in that they suffer him and some of his kind to live among them without mcting out to them the punishment they so richly deserve. If, on the other hand, which is the mostsprobable, he garbled the language and misrepresented what was intended, for the purpose of making capital, then we can incur no charge of slander in pronouncing him knave.
 We judge from the manner of this fellow that he is more used to the talking about these same "Springfield muskets' than to the handling of them. The 'villainous compound" would be q bad odor in his nostrils if nothing else would.

 We wish to call the particular attention of farmers to our celebrated STAR" THRESH- FIR AND CLEANER, which, as lately im- proved. we claim as far superior to any other machine now in market. 1t is compact and easily portable; simple in its construction, and therefore easy to operate by the most in experienced. and will do its work with mar vicious rapidity and perfection, and with comparatively the least demand upon the strength of the animals driving it..
 We have made recent improvements in this machine by which we are enabled to thorough ly ctean ths grain under almost any combina- tion of difficulties, and we are now using an new and effective device for relieving the feeder of dust, thus making the operation of threshing us comfortable and safe as with the ordinary machines it is annoying and frequ- ently destructive to health.
 These machines are made of suitable sizes for our "Star' Railway Power and also for our .Star' Lever Power.

OUR PAPER.

We send this rambcr of our paper to many who are not subscribers. This Is done for the purpose of giving pub licity to the great inducements we are offering in order to have the CITIZEN read from one end of the State to the other. By referring to our prospectus it will be seen that the CITIZEN is fur nished on better terms than any other paper in Arkansas, while it is not in- ferior in size or makeup to any Dem- ocratic weekly published in the State. We claim for it the first position as a family newspaper, its miscellaneous matter being selected with view of giving pleasant and instructive inform ation to variety of readers. It will be found good fircside companion, provoking mirth and good feeling by its selections of choice wit and humor, while at the same time it is presenting many great truths in morals and phi losophy which, read in such connec- tiou, uldhC DCttcI NHu ulOIe iHsIliS impression. Its politics arc the same now they were when it was first start ed fourteen years ago. It was Demo- cratic then, it is Democratic now. Not Conservative, Opposition, or Whig, but purely Democratic, believing, as we do, that nothing but the true prin- ciples of the old Democracy Is suited to the genius of the American people.
 In offering the CITIZEN for one dollar and fifty cents where clubs of twenty or more are seht, we are furnishing q paper as cheap as some Northern prints which count their circulation by thousands. Will the people of Arkan- sas sustain us in this enterprise? If they will properly, we will soon be able to print them paper they need not be ashamed of. There is no just reason why good newspaper cannot be published outside ofa great city, if it is well supported. Let the people of the State meet us, in our attempt to furnish cheap paper, with their sup port, aud we promise to do our part by adding improvements as we are justified in doing so by the patronage given usN
 Will our friends go to work for us and try to make up clubs. It is not such hard matter 10 get ten or 'wen- ty names if you will only speak about it often enough, and not become dis couraged because so many refuse to hear about taking paper. There all ways will be a certain class of people who will not take paper though they manage to read then, az much as others do.
 Those receiving copies of the CITIZEN who do not wish to subscribe, will please hand it to some of their neigbors and let them read it. We want it seen and read by everybody in Arkansas We will send specimen copies on appli- cation.
