A Celebrated Quack.

Count Cagliostro, "the qnacA of
quacks,' as Carlyle called him, has
found biographer who hasan aston
ishipg story to relate of the audacious
swindling of the rogue. Child of
bankrupt father, thief, forger, a
charlatan. Joseph Balsamo, the Italian,
blossomed into a Marquis in Paris.
He claimed to possess the secrets of
the cure of disease, the reiuvenation
Of the sged, the concoction OF poisons,
the making of gold, the transforma-
tion of cotton into silk, the sofsening
of marble, and all sorts Of marvels.
Forced 10 leave Paris, after trying his
luck in Brussels and in Germany. he
returned to Italy, selling an elixir of
beauty, transmitting mercury into
gold, making pearls and diamonds
larger, ETC. 1t was after he bad Heec-
ed a Spaniard in Cadiz that ne fled to
London, ultimately figuring as the
Marquis &c Cagliostro. He and bis
wife no longer travelled ss poor pill
grims, but surrounded by couriers,
lackeys and Wallets in gorgeous liver
les, they journeyed in private car
riage, magnifcently dressed and Gov
cred with diamonds as false as them

He expresses his willingness to return
to the penitentiary today, and on his
way to jail he asked the constable to
hurry on as quickly as possible, as ne
would feel batter satisfied in jail.
During one of his terms in the peni-
tiary he worked at Clemson College,

plantation utensils, supplies, and par
ticularly labor, which is scarce and
high priced in all sections Of the
Southern States.
In round figures the last two
crops of American cotton have
amounted to 25,OoO,oO0 bales, and
were sold in the markets Of the world
for some s1,2O0,0OO,Ooo.
This enormous supply of cotton
was eagerly purchased and went in
to consumption at highly satisfactory
prices to the most sanguine producers
and we are encouraged to believe
that even a larger proportionate con-
sumption may confidently be expected
during the ensuing year.
The spinning capacity of the world
largely increased last year and has
been increasing at an enormous rate
for several years either by the erection
Of mills or the application of i'm
proved machinery to old ones.
Our advices are that the stocks of
raw material in the hands Of manu-
factureres are in very moderate sup
ply, and many mills are under con-
tract far into the future for their en-
tire output; hence, there is likely to
be an active demand for the new
crop.
Universal prosperity everywhere
seems assured for some time to come
in the United States particularly
business conditions were never more
faEorahle for large consumption Of
cotton goods. Labor is not fully en-
ployed at high wages, but scarce.
Crops of all descriptions are bountiful
and the great consuming masses OF
the people will have the capacity to
buy cotton goods literally.
In view Of the foregoing, it seems
to US that continued prosperity may be
expected in all branches Of the cotton
trade for long time to come, and
that present low prices have already
discounted a very large crop not yet
assured. Very truly,
Latham, Alexander & CO.

To Externinatc Cattle Ticks.

Washington, September THE
work of discriminating the cattle tick
in the Southern and some of the West
ern States is progressing satisfacto-
rily, according to statement made by
Secretary Wilson today. 1t began in
Virginia and North Carolina where, it
was stated, cordial cooperation is be-
ing given the Department both in
money and the extension of State au-
thority to the Departments officials.
The appropriation fer carrying on
the work was $50, 600 and this is be-
ing apportioned in a manner to accom-
plish the best results. Some OF the
States have not enacted laws extend
ing financial and other aid to tie Gov
ernment, but Secretary Wilson said
that even with the sam available
much progress will be made. From
California, Nevada, Oklahoma and
Texas. he said. the reports already re-
ceiyed give encouragement to the be-
lief that in those States substantial
nropress has been made in eNtelninat-
ING the ticks.

disease, restore lost youth and vigor,
discover treasure, make the phllos-
opher's stone, and foretell the fu-
ture.
One of Cagliostro's victims was the
Prince CARD inal, Louisde Roman,
man of immense wealth, with weak
head and natural disposition to dab
BILE in the occult. Too clever to show
any eagerness to make his acquain-
tance, Cagliostro. when the Cardinal
was suffering from asthma and sent
for him, with fine air of indepen
dence, answered, elf my Lord Cardi-
nal is ill, he must come here, and l
will cure him; if he is well, he does
not want me, nor him" This
brought Rohan to the feet of the
quack. The Cardinals faith and ad-
miration were boundless. After the
first interview he told the Able
Georget that be desired nothing more
ardently than a close acquaintance.
This closer acquaintance Cagliostro
was wise enough to withhold Ell first.
During the Cardinals ensuing visits he
was reserved, almost hostile: but by
degrees he grew mere friendly, acquir-
ing in this way an almost bounoless
influence over his dupe. Finally this
son of bankrupt shopkeeper told the
descendant of one OF the Oldest fami-
lies in France: ''Your soul is worthy
of mine, and you deserve to be the par
ticipator of all my secrets. - The
Cardinal had before this lodged Gag
liostro in his palace, putting his
house and servants at his service, and
loading him with gifts. Cagtiostro re.
ceived ali these favors with tie air OF
bestowing a favor upon che giver; he
had the art, without asking for any
thing, of inducing his victim to show
er upon him money, jewels, and other
property, which he appeared to take
with reluctance, as if they were
forced upon him.-The London Practl-
toner.

DESERT TO INSURGENTS.

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 10.-Informa--
tiou from Cuna today says that Alfred
Laborde aud 100 men deserted to the
insurgents; that Pine Guerra, leader
of the insurgents sent Laborde back to
the authorities, saying he did not want
such men, but adding that be was
grateful for the men and munitions
that came with the leader. Laborde
was charged recently with murder and
was placed in jail near Habaua. He
offered the government that if he
should be parolsd be would organize
a hund1ed men and fight for the gov
ernment, agreeing to return for trial
after the conclusion of hostilities.
His offer was accepted with the result
that he deserted with his command to
the rebel leader. Laoorde was promi-
nent as Cuban flibuster previous to
the Spanish-American war.

embezzlements and other forms OF
stealing the gambling habit is re-
sponsible for Gambling will make
thief of an honest man. Gambling is
unduiy exciting and will and creates
abnormal desire for money and dissl-
patton. Thousands Of young men are
yearly drawn into the awful vortex OF
this whirlpool of death and go down
in sin and disgrace. In view OF all
these undisputed facts how can we
account for the silence Of so many
who are placed as watchmen on the
walls, What Of the silence, and often
secret and sometimes public conni-
vance of the officers who have sworn
to enforce the laws and to protect

is to shape the destinies and mold the
characters of the youth Of our coun-
try? What of the fainthearted as
semblies, religious editors and others
who should cry aloud and spare not?
Do we as people lack moral per-
ception of courage. Are our senslblll-
ties blunted and dulled? Are we
blinded by the spirit of commercial
ism and graft? We hail with delight
hope the showers that have fallen IN

Gambling.

We note with sorrow two sad ex-
amples of the results Of gambling.
prominent and long trusted head Of
great peoples bank in Chicago has
disappeared with hundreds of thou
sands of the hard earnings of the
poor. In Birmingham young man
Of fine family and high social stand
ing confessed himself a defaulter for
100000 and gives as the cause,
gambling in cotton futures. These are
only two Of the many cases that
might be cited. Gambling must
cease.
The clouds of public sentiment
against gambling, which have been
gathering and filing for years, are
beginning to break in showers Of op-
position in certain parts Of our coun-
try and threaten to become a storm
before which this stronghold Of vice
and crime shall be utterly demolish-
ed. Too long sentiment has slumber-
ed. Too long this destroyer of
wealthy men and souls has been un-
molested. At last tardy justice is
beginning to arouse and great may
her full awakening be! 1t is a hope
full sign that a tide is seen to be
rising against gambling. Too long
the public, the press and the pulpit
have been all but tolerant, while the
flower of the young manhood has
been destroyed by the lust of gam
bling. Il is utterly inccnceivable
now gam bling, in its many and varied
forms. should have become so firmly
ectrenched in the life Of such a COM
,,7,ni+v as ours. We must ask with
utter amazement, where has the
moral sentiment, the social and civil
conscience, of our people been
through all these years Of the past?
How could it have been possible in
this enlightened and socalled Chris
tian land for such terrible vice to
fastea upon the public until. like
some hideous vampire, it has sucked
the very ife-blood Of society. And
how is it still possible for so many
otherwise good people to be so lndlt-
eoran- or so blind, to the great evil
as they seem today? It is surprising
how prevalent the gambling vice is.
