HUMBUGS.
How They Thrive and Who They
Thrive Upon.

A New Orleans correspondent of the Mo-
bile Register gives an account of some char
latans and their dupes, with some phiIosoph-
ical and moral reflections very much to the
point, as follows:
at is an old saying that the poor are pro-
verbally imprQyldent and prodlgal, and yes
terday had a good opportunity of seeing it
verified. Stretched along the levee, from tie
landing of the New York steamship company
TO the French market, were a number OF ra-
rec shows, wheels of fortune, menageries,
hazard boards, dioramas, and candy and ice
cream stands. Around each of these was a
crowd of the lower strata of our population,
and went from one to the other perfectly
amazed at the sights before me. large
tent covered with rough daubs of lions and
tigers springing upon men and horses, lions
jumping through hoops held by a little girl,
a woman with an anaconda wound around
her neck. and a Chinese juggler throwing
knives around a man and pinning him to a
board seemed to draw the larger share of at
tentlon.
About one hundred men. women and chill
dren were gathered around this tent gazing
at the pictures, while bloated, rummy door
keeper-blear-eyed and red-nosed-was
shouting out the merits of the show. The
price of admission was twenty-five cents
Going in, found nearly fifty persons looking
at the old monkies, parroqusts, ETC., the only
things offered for exhibition, although the
pictures without had promised something bet
ter. "Where are your lions and things?"
asked one. step this way, sir, and I'll
show you" said the Snowman and sure
enough, by looking through a glass case like
aiarge sterescopeLone could see pictures of
all. Il was the worst sell ever saw. Conn
ing out. tbs wheels Of fortune attracted my
attention, and joined crowd around one Of
the bsst. A large circle was painted in diff.
tersnt colors, the stripes radiating from the
oenter of the circle to the circumference,
while upon each was placed some prize. Go
ing round the board l saw on one stripe 9
hit Of tobacco, on another a box Of biaoking
on others half a dozen buttons dums
watch, string of glass beads, an old razo1
strop. wooden comb, Q card of hooks ant
ewes, some brass pins and ear drops, key
