An Unsuccessful Expcri Inc1lt.

I1b7l the st. Louis Hepu0fican.
Tho same disenEe requires different treatment.
in different persons. What will cure one will
sometimes kill another, and this fact hes often
been proved BY experiment. Thero is such
complaint as home e-sicknes8. Among children
aud young people it is All honest disease. With
men 1t sometimes takes the form Of sickness Of
home It has been vsriously treated by the fe-
male practitioner Of the house. 4 lady whose
husband WAS very sick Of home read in q paper
this paragraph:
A young wife once cured her husband of a dispo-
soa to absent himself from home at night BY proEid-
ing good dinner, and saying to him afterwards,
"Georgc if you find swee:cC spot than ou- home,
describe it to me- and Will rival it die in the at
tempt" kiss md few tears completed the victory.
She thought the prescription was worth trying
and she tried it. Sho vaccnated hirc With kind
ness aud kisses. It did not take. She soaked
his paper collar with tears in vain. He showed
that no could not be mo1ted by rennrking:
"When you get the boys to come here to smoke
cigars and talk politics. and yo1 set up keg Of
iagar, you can count me in. Otherwise count
1ne ont" The lady threw the physic of kindncss
and to tho dogs, and also thow saucot at hor
husbands head, and followed it will, cup, and
then skillet, and then Rhe elung dish Of apple
sauce on his shirt BOSOM. He gave it up. and
Eince then has been enra ntured With ths sweet
delights OF home. Doctors disagree.

A married man, living near this citr, IN CON-
Portable circumstances, no: long einco became

part lnf,1rintod the brute. He knocked her
down with his fists; he lashed her with I buggy

Still ahe clung to him, and only parted from
him when lie stripped the house Of tho

she had brought TO him,-sold it, and
ran away with the girl. just before starting
he took from his wife SO or s-au that she had

will be obee-yed tbat the number Of instruments
is yerysm.ll-:n fact, the smallest Of any week of
the year,-giii1e the totsl consideration is about
up to the usual amount. This shows that the
average consideration is much larger than ordi-
nary. There is gradual falling of in the num-
Der Of releases For the first week in November

MONEY AND COMMERCE.
FINANCIAL.

SATURDAY. EVENING, Nov. g.
No new features Of importance were developed
il the financial situation to-day. The movement
of currency is still towards the. country for
hogs, but is not 1nrgo when compared With that
OF ten DAYS ago. Saturdays orders usually fall
below the average.
Receipts of currency are liberal from New
York.
New York exchange was a tri1e firmer. Tie
packers are not shipping their product freely to
the East, and less exchange is therefore being
made. Tho sale WAS Too to 81 discount for
$1,000 betweeu banks.
Applications for discount are not pressing, but
aze sufficient to give comfortable employment to
tho funds Of tho banks. Rates remain as before
quoted,-at 10 per cent per annum to regular
customers, With concessions Of ! or per cent to
independent borrowers with good col1aterals.
Tho clearings for tho week arc 922, ass, 1882
