The AUDITOR has paid out over six thou.
sand dollars extra fees to lawyers for de-
tending unsuccessful coupon suits during
the last two years, and thousands more for
the same vain effort are due and must be
paid. And yet the debt committee of the
Legislature is now engaged in devising
schemes for necessitating more of such suite
all Of which must be decided against the
State, and the only effect of which will be
to increase her Indebtedness.

keeping up high charges so that business

Terrible Crime.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Feb. 1S.-Informa
ton has reached this city ola terrible crime :
the slaughter of a family of six people. The
report circulated here is based on private
telegram which stated that a messenger had
come to Pa!arm from settlement about
eight miles from the station with the news
of the terrible tragedy. The dispatch con-
tanned only the meagre facts that six per-
sons-father, mother and four children
had been killed by negro. From the men
on the train that passed Palarm yesterday
evening, however, it was learned that a
posse was being organized TO 90 i'll pursuit
of some one who had killed the James fam
lily. A passenger on the same train said
that the murderer had not been captured
and the people intended 10 procure the
bloodhounds from the penitentiary to fol.

PLY sioiogy Of Dessert.

Medical and Surgical RI porter.l
After the meal came the bread,
cheese, and dessert. The bread will
no doubt, supply additional dextrin
and the cheese additional albumin
ODDS; but if we direct our attention
only to the stomach and to the
chemical changes which are gong on
in it, 1t is not quite easy to see why
bread, cheese and dessert should be
taken at the end of dinner.
Ii we turn our attention, however,
to the circulation and the nervous
system, and remember the effect
which have already mentioned as
produced upon them by the mastica,l
ton and deglutition of savory food !
we can at once see a good reason for
the common manner Of terminating
a dinner. In order to supply album
dant gastric juice for the digestion
of the food introduced into it, the
stomach -e9.,;-a.~ ~h-..es ~ e.s.s
ply OF blood, and the nervous system
must be kept active in order to re-
spond to the calls made upon it.
The savory cheese, swallowed in
small morsels, and the sweet fruits,
which strongly stimulate the nerves
OF taste, or nuts, which require con-
siderable mastication, cause an album
dant flow of blood to the nerve cen
tiers; while the frequent movemente
of swallowing stimulate the heart
and increase the rapidity of the gen
eral circulation.

WHEN ADVERTISING is WANTED
There is nothing on earth says an ex-
change, so mysteriously funny as a
newspaper advertisement. The prime,
first, last and all the time object Of an
advertisement is to draw custom. 1t is
not, and never will be designed for any
other human purpose. So the merchant
waits till the busy season comes, and his
store is so full OF customers that he
can't get his hat off, then he rushes to
the newspapers and puts in his adver-
tisement. When the dull season gets
along, and there is no trade, and he
wants to sell goods so bad that he can't
pay his rent, he takes out his advertise
ment.
That is, some of them do, but occa-
sionally level-headed merchant puts
in a bigger one and scoops all the bust
ness, while his neighbors are making
mortgages to pay the coal BILL There
are the times when you couldn't stop
people from buying everything in the
store if you planted a cannon behind
the door, and that's the time the adver
tisement is sent out on its holy mission.
The time to draw business is when
you want business, and not when you
have more business than you can attend
to already.

More Chicago Business.

CHICAGO, November 9.-Everybody was
excluded from Packington this morning
except persons engaged there or those
willing to go to work on the packers
terms. These latter were announced to
be, according to resolution signed by all
the prominent packers except Nelson
Morris and George w. Swift & Co., that
the men shall resign from any labor organi-
zation they may belong to- The absence
of the names of Swift and Morris from
the resolution was commented upon by
the men as the weak point in the packers
position. All was quiet within and with
out the quarantined district this morning.
ArmOur's two houses were running this
morning, hogs and some cattle being
killed Swift's and Morris's houses were
also running with slightly increased
forces Before the militia fully occupied
the gronnd, as they did later in the morn
ing, large crowds assembled and several
fights took place. With the advent Of
rain and the boys in blue the crowds dis
persed. The saloons in the town of Lake
were closed this morning, and will remain
so until further orders from Supervisor
Stafford.

il was found that four deputies who had
been left to patrol an alley in that vicinity
had been fired on by some unknown par
ties. The fire was returned, but the ag-
gressors escaped.

The London Socialists.

LONDON, November 9-When the
Lord Mayors procession passed Trafal-
gar square it met with no demonstration
on the part of the crowds except some
unorganized cheering and hooting, the
latter being especially directed at the
Lord Mayor. After the show had gone
by the mob at once surged over into the
square and soon formed dense throng
about the Nelson monument. A number
of men mounted the pedestal at different
points. Some of these waved red
flags The square soon became a
scene of excitement. Recognized Social
ist leaders managed here and there to
gather around them groups of men ready
and willing to listen to speeches, and, al
though most of the harangues were in
audible at any distance from the orators,
yet expressions and phrases were often
caught by the mob and used as topics OF
heated debate among the auditors them
selves. In this way the vast crowd was
soon divided up into numberless excited
groups, each stirred up by its own spokes-
men and all independently noisy and ex-
cited The police did not attempt to in
terfere with the rush of the mob into the
square, but formed strong Gordon
around it.

New York stock Market.
REVIEW.

New YORK, November 9.--The market has
been very quiet to-day outside of the selling
of room trades, who still continue to ham,
mer prices for small profits. No new feature
has come to notice. The absured idea that
socialistic troubles would occur in London,
and reports that fresh difficulties had become
developed in the West, aided local bears,
who have again to-day raided prices as If
there was no hope ola resuscitation. AS far,
however as we are able to judge the market,
gives every evidence of great stability. The
panic in speculation persuing from various
causes of an outside nature, has afforded an
opportunity to sell stocks, which has not
been neglected by the bear party, No long
stocks seem to come out, however, and the
strike gives promise of an early solution.
We are still bullsh and judging from the
aspect of business generally throughout the
country, we cannot be otherwise,
The market closed firm. Money per
cent.
