Some Pacts Regarding Them—Who Makes Them and What is Thought of Them liy the Drug Trade—Interview of n Times Reporter with Peter Vau Schaack,Esq Destructive Cyclone in Lor isiana. New Orleans, Sept. 2.—The follow ing dispatches have been received here: Morgan City, La., Sept. 1,12 m.—A hurricane is prevailing here. The ba rometer has fallen four-tenths since 10 o’clock this morning. It is now 28.70 and still falling. The gale is increas ing. It is impossible to give the de tails of acoidents to property. The steamboats Sammie and Alberta are sunk. A portion of the iron shed on Morgan’s wharf and a portion of the .engine shed have been blown down; also Erwin’s ice house. Some dwell ings have been blown from their found ations. The damage to crops along the Teeche is immense. The saw mill at Berwick, across the bay, was blown down. 2 r. m.—The Presbyterian church and now school house are blown down. A terrible gale prevails, and the streets are flooded, 4 p. m.---Morgan’s Teeoho warehouse is blown down. It was carried across Front street, injuring the stores of L. Loeb and A. Eiman. The gale is ter rible this evening. September 2.—The storm abated about five o’clock lost night. In addi tion to the damage reported yesterday, the Morgan Line round-house at Ber wick City, a new building, just com pleted to accommodate engines on the next extension, and many dwellings bad their roofs blown off ana chimneys blown down. The negro cabins at Free town were nearly all demolished. The gale was ,so furious that it car- Afd plates from the iron warehouse at Morgan’8 wharf clear across the, bay to Berwick City. When the Teeche ware house went it was carried across Front street and smashed in the front of three ! i? re8 ’ carr ying away the galleribs, etc. The steamboat Fuller was abandoned m Bayou Sale bay.

To enable the Times to furnish its readers with some reliable information regarding the Cuticura’ remedies, which are now attracting so muoh public at tention, a reporter called yesterday upon Mr. Peter Van Schaack, of Van Sohaack, Stevenson & Co., wholesale and retail druggists, corner Lake and Dearborn streets, when the following facts were elicited: R—Will you oblige the readers of the s oo Times by answering a few questions re garding the Cuticura remedies ? Mr. van S—Certainly; fire away. ■R—Do they sell well ? Mr. Van S—The sale of the Cuticura, Cuticura Resolvent, and Cuticura Soap have been unprecedented. R—What reasons do you give for so large a sale ? Mr. Van S—I give four reasops. ,Fjrst, they are original and revolutionary in their composition and mode of treat ment. Second, they undoubtedly pos sess great curative properties. Third, there are thousands upon thousands of sick and suffering who have tried and found wanting the usual remedies ,pnd modes of treatment, and who are ready to welcome a really great and success ful medicine. Fourth, the price of them is within the mean; of every in valid. R—Are your large sales of these medicines through your agents ? Mr. Van S.—No; they are legitimate mail orders. We employ no travelers on the road—are fundamentally op posed to that way of selling goods—the retailer has to stand such expenses, and such staple goods aB these require no one to force them off. R—Do you class them as patent med icines? Mr. Van S—I do not. They are pro prietary, so far a; their names are con cerned, these being held as trade-marks; but their composition, as you will learn from this oiroular, may be obtained by any regular physioian who desires to use them in his practice simply by ap plying to Weeks & Potter. R—Can you tell us something about this firm ? Mr. Van S—Weeks & Potter are im porters, wholesale druggists and chem ists, and for twenty-five years have been the foremost house in the trade in New England. R—It is popularly supposed that ad vertising will sell most anything, re gardless of merit.. Is it true ? Mr. Van 8—No. A remedy falsely claiming to possess virtues of which it is in fact destitute, will surely fail. No reputable firm—and druggists are the mostjeompetent judges—would think of risking fame and fortune on any medi cine unless it had, under the most try ing circumstances, proved itself to pos sess extraordinary medicinal value. The expense attending the introduction of such remedies is enormous. A for tune must be spent before any return can be expected. If, after a wide dis tribution, they are found to possess the virtues claimed for them, those who have been cured will recommend them one to another, and thus make them remunerative. When a man backs his statements with his own money, you may generally rely upon them. This Weeks & Potter are doing. R—Have they ever before prepared remedies for popular use ? Mr. Van S—I believe not. They are, like ourselves, agents for a greatrmany, hut wo think these are the first that they prepare themselves. It is but once in a lifetime that a discovery is made of a remedy that such a firm as Weeks & Potter ar.e willing to stake reputation and fortune on. R—Are their .prospects flattering, or otherwise? . . _ Mr. Van S—Very flattering. As I said before, the remedies undoubtedly possess great merit. And, besides, thoy treat blood and skin diseases according to a new and thoroughly rational plan, that must take a firm hold on the con' fidence of those who suffer from chronic diseuses of the blood, skin and scalp. What He Wanted. He dropped inlo Jones’ barber shop at a time when the place was empty. Mr. Jones said “good morning” with professional gravity, and his visitor stretched himself out in a chair. “Fine weather, eh ?” inquired the tonsorial artist. . you bet it is fine weather; you bet it is fine weather; it is just simply the finest kind of weather; you can’t find finer weather than this in the poetic portion of the dime novel.” "It is pretty fine, sir,” wont on Mr. Jones. “That’s just what I’ve been telling you, there’s no doubt at all about the fineness of the weather.” "Shave, sir ?” “Not this morning. Well, sir, to re turn to the weather, this reminds me of a summer long ago when I wandered in the woodland and plucked the violets from the brookside in boyish glee. “Would you like to have your mus tache trimmed ?” “Not muoh; it doesn’t need it this weather.” “Don’t you want your hair cut?” “I don’t fancy that I do, my dear sir,” replied the stranger with a bropd grin. “Do you want a shampoo?” . “Nary a shampoo.” “Any soap, pommade, combs and brushes,or hair grease? I have a daz zling assortment.” “I don’t want to purchase anything to-day.” And then Mr. Jones, in blank aston ishment, asked: “Well what do you want ?’’ “Don’t want anything.’’ “Then why did you come in here?” "Why did I come in her#? Well, I’ll tell you; I saw that your chairs were nice and easy, and that you seem ed to be deserted and lonely, so I thought I would drop in, rest myself a little, and have a sociable talk with you.” And then he ambled out, leaving the barber so petrified with amusement that he shaved six men before he remarked: “Hair’s gettin’ a little thin on top, sir; better try a bottle of my Capillary Ceaxer.”—Uncle Sam. is believed to have been H a °l 0 '‘ 0N A’ Miss..

This is paid him tor his for the confirmation of the New York Custom-house appointments. The price has now been paid for his hopes for advancement in the purchase of the Tallahassee Patriot, which he has turned in to aid the Sherman boom, Gen. Carlos Butterfield, of New York, long widely known throughout the coun try for bis efforts in promoting trade and commerce between the United States and the Spanish Amerioan States, is se riously ill at his lodgings in this city. Mo3t of the Government is out of town, and it is almost impossible to transact the ordinary routine business. Sooretary Evarts and Assistant Secreta ry Seward are both away, and this af ternoon the Acting Chief Clerk could not tell whether or not this Government had instructed its Algenan ConBul to demand representation for thiB country in the Commibsion of Liquidation.

Couldn’t Game Him. There was a strapping big young fel low from the interior down on the wharf yesterday, to see the shipping. Several bootblacks had tackled him for a job in vain, and they finally got together be hind some bunches of shingles and went into committee of the whole to concoct a scheme for revenge. As a result, an innocent looking shiner sidled up to the stranger and said: “See here, Johnnie, I’ve made a bet with, the boys.” “Wall, I don't keer,” was the cold- hearted answer. “I’ve made a bet that I kin shine one of them shoes o’ your’n in less’n four minits,” continued the boy. “The bet is a quarter, and I know you’ll gin me a chance to win it. Jist stick out yer foot here, and the job won’t cost ye a cent." The stranger slowly consented, and held his watch to time the work. The lad worked fast, and he had a good -polish on the shoe in about three min utes. When through he rose up, pack- fed away his brushes, and the stranger found himself in just the fix the boys had planned. They expected an offer to complete the job, but it did not come. After a moment devoted to thought, the young man descended the steps to the harbor master’s boat, reached out his leg for the water, and souse went the shiny shoe below the surface. “I reckon,” said the stranger, as he pulled in his leg and let half a gallon of water run out of his shoe; “I reckon you boys think you’re smart, but none of our family ever mistook saleratus for sal-sody; and I didn’t come to town to have my hair out with a buzz-saw!” —Exchange. The Rich California Banker. When it became known that one of the richest California bankers had left the Pacifio Coast and transferred his base of operations to the New York Stock Exchange, all the shrewd finan ciers watohed his course with keen in terest to see how he would succeed The result has emphatically proved the wealthy banker’s sagaoity. Besides having a muoh wider and more promis ing field to operate in, he is known to have been in several Btock combinations that paid immense profits. By the combination method of operating stock Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Bankers, N. Y., unite orders of thousands of cus tomers, in different sums, into one vast capital, and operate them as a mighty whole, dividing profits pro rate among shareholders every 80 days. Capitol in any amount from $10 to $100,000 can be used with great success m these pools. $25 would pay $100 profit. $500 would make $5,000 or 10 per cent, on the stock during the month. Messrs, Lawrence & Co.’s new oiroular (mailed freo) gives “two unerring rules for suc cess,” and full particulars, so that any one oan operate In stocks, and make money. Stocks and bonds wanted.

SALT RHEDMlOR 30 YEARS On the Head, Face and Greater Fart of the Body, Cured Uestrt. Weeks k Potter: Gentlemen—I havo boen a great sufferer with Salt Rheum for 80 years, commencing in my bead and face and extending over the greater part of my body. I hare taken gallons of medicines for the blood of different kinds and triad good phyilolans, all of whioh did me no good, and I came to tho conclu sion that I oould not bo cured. But a friend oalled my attention to an arttole in the Union on akin diseases, and I got a box of Cuticura. The first application was a great relief, and the third took the scales all off, and I felt like a new man. I have used three 60 cent boxes and my skin is smooth, and I consider myself en tirely oured. Hoping that this may be seen by some one af&ioted as I bare been (If there is any) is my earnest wish. And I cheerfully rec- ommond it to all persons afflicted with like dis- ties. Yours truly. B. WIL80N LORD. Agawam, Mass., Sopt. 0,187S.
