which l lived. No one in all the
numerous families of distinction
that eagerly sought my acquaint-
ance cared whether l had in
tellect or intrinsic q personal worth;
it sufficed to them that | kept a
carriage and pair, an elegant and costly
equipage, softly lined with satin and
drawn by two Arabian mares as black
as polished ebony. The value of my
friendship was measured by the luXur-
iousness of my box at the opera, and by
the dainty fittings of my yacht, swift
trim vessel furnished with every luxury,
and having on board band of stringed
instruments which discOursed sweet
music when the moon emptied her horn
of silver radiance on the ripping water.
In little while / knew everybody who
was worth knowing in Naples; every
where my name was talked of, my doings
were chronicled in the fashionable
newspapers: stories of my lavish gener-
osity were repeated from mouth to
mouth, and the most highly colored re-
ports of my immense revenues were
whispered with kind of breathleSs awe
at every cafe and street corner. Trades
men waylaid my retiCent valet, Nincen-
zio, and gave him douceurs in the hope
he would obtain my custom for them
tips which he pocketed in his usual
reserved and discreet manner, but
which he was always honest enough TO
tell me of afterwards He would most
faithfully give me the name and address
of this or that particular tempter of his
fidelity, always adding-''As to whether

thirty francs to secure your eXcellency's
good will. Though for all that | would
not recommend him if your eXcelleucy

Among other distinctions which my
wealth forced upon me, where the lavish
attentions of matchmaking mothers.
The black SpeCtacles which l always
wore, were not repulSive to these diplo-
matte dames-oI the contrary some of
them assured me they were most becOm-
ing, so anxious were they to secure me
as a sOn-in-law. Fair girls in their
teens, bluShing and ingenious, were art
fully introduced to me-Or, | should
say, thrusC forward like slaves in
market for my SpectiOn-thOugh. to do
them justice, they were remarkably
shrewd and sharp-witted for their
tender years. Young as they were, they
were keenly alive to the Importance of
making a good match-and no doubt the
pretty innocent laid many dainty schemes
in their own minds of liberty and enjoy
ment when one or the other of them
should become the Countess Olivia, and
fool the old black specialized husband to
to her hearts content. Needless TO say
their plans were no, destined to be full
filed, though rather enjoyed studying
the many devices they employed to faS-
cinate me. What pretty ogling glanceS

LIVINGSTON SAYS the ALLIANCE MUST
PLAAT LESS COTTON.

Col. Livingston has written let
ter to President Polk suggesting that
the Alliance in the various states take
some action as 10 a general under
standing as TO how farmers shall
gauge their crops. He intimates that
the over-production of cotton has
caused the present low prices.
In spite of the growing unreliable
ity of labor. the products of the SOUTH
ern farms are yearly increasing. This
is due to the stimulating effects OF
fertilizers and the wonderful improves
ment in agricultural implements. For
a long tine it was believed that the
increased consumption of cotton would
keep pace with its production. But
in spite OF many drawbacks, the out
put Of the crop of the past season
shows that the cotton market can be-
come glutted. Mr.. LivingstOn's poll
CIV this time is the true one, The peos
pie would consult their interests by
planting less cotton and raising more
of the necessaries of life. But will
they do itf IT the Alliance leaders
can persuade them to adopt such a
policy, the agricultural world would be
greatly benefited and an era OF pros
perity wouldsoon dawn upon the farm
ing community. But in pitching their
crops, it 10 a well known fact that

THE INSPECTION or FtRTITiZERS.

There is sound sense in the following
from the Newman Herald:
Commissioner Nesbitt seems to
have had variety OF schemes for the
protection of the poor farmer since
he went into office, none of which
have materialized as yet. One OF his
first officials acts was the promulga-
ton of an order that all guano should
be inspected in sacks--that is, each
sack was to be inspected separately
and samples returned to the depart
ment for analysis. As there will be
something over 8, 100000 sacks sold
this season, however, it was found
to be a physical impossibility Tor six
or Ell ht inspectors to inspect and OBJ
tain samples from each sack; never
theless, the Commissioner went before
the legislature and made this the bas-
is of plea for the appointment OF
four additional inspectors, his argu'
ment being that it was necessary to
have more h lip IN order to insure a
thorough inspection of the various
brands of fertilizers offered for sale
in the State, The Legislature gave
him permission to appoint the foul
additional inspectors asked tor aud
provided adequate compensation foI
their services. U? to this time, how
ever, he has not awaited himself of the
privilege conferred by the LegIsla-
ture, and shortly after the adjourn
ment of that body rcscinded his on-i
nal order requiring that gualo he in
spected only in sacks.
The truth is the Department of Ag-
riculture is more in need of addition
al chemists than inspectors. 1t is Il
physical and scientific impossibility
for one chemist to analyze the hun
dredth part of the samples that are
forwarded to his department by the
official inspectors. The chemical
process necessary to ascertain the con-
stituent parts of sample Of guano
and obtain fair analysis thereof re-
quires about twentystour hours. At
this rate it is hardly possible that one
chemist could analize more than one
sample out or every hundred tons
sold; and yet each sack bears the
official brand of the State testifylng,
in terms, that the guano contains

purchaser is expected to rely upon

1t is unquestionably matter that
will bear investigation. Whether the
new Commissioner of Agriculture has
the courage and willingness to push
the investigation on the right line re-
mains to be seen. The whole system
is farce IS now operated, and unless
there is an improvement it should be
