Stocks-The stock market while strong in

presented no specially new features except that
such slight reactions as occurred invariably
brought in buying orders, which promptly re-
stored quotations. During the afternoon, how
ever, this quiet condition Of affairs gave place to
IN active and buoyant market. The bears be-
came alarmed and made efforts to cover, but
were afforded little opportunity, as prices adj
vanced rapidly. Chicago, Milwaukee u ST. Paul
and Missouri Pacific were the features through
out. Both stocks were favorably affected by re-
ports OF increased earnings, and as the short in
terest in them is especially large, they were fore
most in the advance. In the case of Missouri
Pacific, the fact that large amount of sellers
options are about maturing stimulated the rise
In the stock, which is scarce. Delaware, Lacka-
wanna g. Western was another prominent card,
and the improvement in the coal trade was used
with effect in advancing prices. This stock is
controlled by the same parties who have made
several remarkable movements in shares the past
few months Union Pacific, Chicago 81 North
western, Western Union Telegraph, Northern Pa
cifc, Pacific Mail and Vanderbilts all attracted at
tention and advanced sharply. The improve

Consumption is the great destroyer.
Epidemics occasionally sweep off large
numbers of people'i in a very short time,
but the deadly work of consumption is
continuous and widespread. The South,
especially Louisiana, is not noted for
consumption but the weekly mortuary
reports of New Orleans, show that
more persons die of consumption than
of any other disease, except during an
epidemic. Last week.17 died there Of
consumption, 10 Of dysentery, 10 of ma
larial feYers, Of heart diseases, and so
on, descending down to one. Consump-
ton is greatly the highest on the list,
though the highest of the other diseases
is natural to the season, and consump-
tion is not. No doubt the most of
those who die of consumption in New
Orleans, come there in search of health,
from a Northern climate.

Racteria ia Rrlck walls.
Chicago Tribune.

A new danger has been discovered in
sanitary organization. The ubiquitous
bacterinm, which proves to be the germ
of SO many obscure diseases, has been
found by NJ. Parize, a French savant, to
take up it's abode in brick walls. No
ticing some peculiar mark on the outside
of the wall, he scraped little off and
placed it under magnifying power of
