T.HE PRICE OF BEING ILLUSTRATED.

Would you like to know the price of
fame at last quotations? Young readers
who envy the fortunate musician or lit

into notice that the public demand to
know how he looks, and where he dimes,
when he was born, and what he has
done since he was ofage to speak, listen.
Whatever pious or useful work you do
for the world, short of taking a gun
boat feet, or reaching Wachters high G
as tenor, do not expect to find an artist
envoy at your bedroom door, beseech-
ing your picture for the illustrated pa
pers, Such was once the case, but the
pictorial newspapers have changed all
that. If YOU choose to furnish your
imperial photograph, and pay $3.50 IN
addition, you may have the pleasure OF
seeing your face in a full PACED portrait,
with the privilege of writing your own
history to be added thereto. The man
ayers of public singers and actresses pay
for the publication of their pictures as a
part of necessary advertising 1t is a
special vanity with manufacturers to
have pictures oftheir factories and por-
traits printed side by side though what
good q print of long blank looking
buildings, coupled with that of a snub-
nOsed man, with hair brushed into per-
pendicular agony, as the genuine crystal

In Mississippi the supply of labor is far

of the crop will be lost. The Vicksburg
Herald refers to the emergency in the follow
ing emphatic language:
If Ames and his Brigadier Generals were
determined to have the cotton crop Of Missis-
sippi lost in the fl elds, they could have hit
upon no more certain expedient than that of
organizing the negro militia. We hear of
large numbers Of cotton pickers who have
abandoned their crops to engage in the noble
profession of arms. Pay, rations and
clothes, promised to the foolish fellows. have
completely turned their silly heads. Wehear
of some who expect to get :. forty acres and
mule" after awhile. There is no punish
ment too great for the man who mas delibe-
rately gone to work to ruin the people of
Mississippi, his negro dupes included, and
when Ames succeeds in getting " mississippi
in state OF rebellion, we hope some one
will have spare bullet for the grand con-
SpiratOr.

HOW TO STOP COTTON GAMBLING.

The Georgia Grange publishes the following
letter from Gen. Colquitt, prominent lawyer
and planter of that State. 1t is full of advice
worthy of the consideration of all planters
throughout the Southern States
New YORK. Sept 8, 1875.
Dear Generdl-I have for the past few days
beep off and on, spectator at the Cotton
Exchange in this city. The result of my OBJ
servation is, that am satisfied that it is in
the power of the farmers Of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi to destroy gigantic fraud on
their interests. The amount OF actual cotton
on hand is unusually small, but these gam
blers, expecting that the farmers will rush
their cotton in as they did last year, are SELL
ing futures nearly one cent per pound below
what the actual cotton itself will bring on the
market.
Now, if your Grange organization is worth
anything, act on this ut once, and prevent the
planters from bringing to market only such
cotton as they are compelled to bring. The
receipts in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi,
if moderately small for even the next ten
days, will smash to atoms one-half the cotton
gamblers of New York, and cause cotton to
advance from one to two cents per pound.
Please excuse this letter; but trusting that
you will act upon it, am yours, sincerely.

WHAT Is THOUGHT OF Us IN VIR-
GINA.

The Richmond Inquirer, in its issue of
October IL, has running account the
present condition of the several Southern
States. The following paragraph pictures its
impression of existing affairs in Louisiana:
Crossing over into Louisiana we found the
serpent of r idicalism scotched, not killed.
It's rule, though less pronounced than it was
a few years ago, is still exceedingly oppres-
sive. The mad spirit of negro domination
has invaded the public schools of New Or
leans and threatens them with utter ruin.
Indeed, it is sad to see how much Of the mis-
chief has been accomplished by Radical mis-
rule in the once great city of New Orleans.
Usurpation and peculation have there been
to each other as the direful cause of direful
effect, and acting thus together they have
SO oppressed and impoverished the peo-
pie as to leave them all but helpless, and
all but hopeless. The real estate owner
is in New Orleans the most unfortunate of
citizens. His property is SO unproduct-
i've as to render him unable to pay the
taxes, and over it an memorable decree of con-
fscation hangs. For many such there can
be no possible chance of restoration. A
weak hope, however, obtains among those
who have successfully battled against misfor-
tune that the day OF deliyerance is at hand.
They see the tidal wave of conservative re-
action sweeping away from their high places
the strong holds of opposition, and their wish
makes the belief possible that ere long Loui-
siana too will be redeemed. On this weak
hope they rest They know that Nemesis
dogs the heels of guilt, and are convinced that
such crimes as have been perpetrated against
them can not much longer remain unpun-
ished. From party wrongs they turn with
somewhat of confidence to the high tribunal
of American justice which they know, in time,
will vindicate itself.

MORE RADICAL ISLANDERS.

The Chicago Tribune, of October Is, pub
fishes letter from one "Gilbert King" of
New Orleans, which almost rivals the imbe-
Gle scribblings of the whi.om correspondent
of the Inter- Ocean. Every possible opportu-
nifty which offers for the abuse and misrepre-
sentation of the opponents of Radicalism in
this State is seized upon with avidity, and
written up in the most approved Radical style.
The "poor prosecuted blacks" do duty for
several paragraphs of weak indignation, and
the expression of disapproval and disgust
with the manner of taking the census and the
evident incorrectness of the same is attrib-
uted to the fact of its "tending to the dis
proof of the oft-repeated allegations that Nc
Emery was elected Governor three years ago. "
Despite the utter falsity of this statement
the letter itself shows that the census, even
as taken, offers no such proof. In another
paragraph the writer says that Louisiana has
been receiving negroes from Georgia by the
thousands. Now, if this be so, it Of course
changes the complexion and character of our
population materially from what it was when
McEnery was elected Governor, and so as a
proof Of a r adical majority st that time the
present census affords no proof whatever
The people of Louisiana are not satisfied with
the census because they know it to be incor-
rect if not fraudulent. Innumerable letters
have been published from citizens of this city
and from the parishes, complaining loudly
that no census taker had been anywhere in
their neighborhood to make the requisite
count.
A number of citizens have had blanks left
at their residences which were never called
for. and repeated requests have been made
