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. Fears are felt for the
safety of the steamboat Mattie, coming
from Vermillion.

From tho Chicago Tithea.
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.

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

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.

Modern Miracle. Astonishing Results
from tho Use of CUTICURA.
Messrs Weeks k Patter: Gentlemen — We
Have a saae of Loprosy in our poorhouse which
is being cured by your Cutioura remedies. The
county had employed all of our doctors and

The patient commeneed using the Cutioura
and immediately began getting better.
He had been oonfined to his bed for two and
one-half years. Had not bad his olothes on
during this time. Last week he dressed for the
first time.
When he walked thore would .at least one
quart el soales come off of him.
This happened every day.
We think it is a wonderful oure.
Wo do not say he Is oured, but he Is in a fair
way to be cured, to say the least.
