 CADAMOSTO CADES 535 Valle. Los erudites a la violeta, a prose satire on superficial scholarship (1772), Los ocios de mijuventud, and Poesias (1773), were publish- ed under the name of Jos6 Vasquez. After his death was published Las cartas marruecas, his most popular proae work, in the style of Gold- smith's "Citizen of the World." His lyric poems, and especially his anacreontic odes, have given him a lasting place in Spanish lite- rature. His complete works were published in the Coleccion de obras en prosa y verso (best edition, with biography by Navarrete, 3 vols., Madrid, 1818). (imiOSTO, or Ca da Mosto, Luigi, an Ital- ian navigator, born in Venice in 1432, died about 1480. He took passage for the Nether- lands in 1454, but the vessel was forced by contrary winds to put in at Cape St. Vincent in Portugal. Entering the service of Prince Henry, he embarked upon a vessel of 90 tons in March, 1455, for the exploration of the coast of Africa. Having passed Cape Blanco and ex- plored the river Senegal, he continued his voy- age southward, and off Cape Verd was joined by two other vessels in the service of Portugal. The three vessels explored the coast as far as the river Gambia, at the mouth of which they were attacked by the natives ; they then re- turned to Portugal. The next year Prince Henry sent Cadamosto with another expedi- tion, which was compelled by a storm to keep off from the coast, and discovered the Cape Verd islands. He then sailed to the Gambia, entered its mouth and traded with the natives, and afterward proceeded as far as the Rio Grande. Upon the death of Prince Henry in 1463, Cadamosto returned to Venice. He wrote an account of his voyages, El libra de la pritna nanigazione per oceano a le terre de 1 negri de la Basso, Etiopia (Vicenza, 1507). CADDIS FLY, the popular name of the family of phryganida, neuropterous insects with broad and parallel-veined wings, and long antennse. The larvae live at the bottom of ponds and streams, in cases made of bits of wood, grains of sand, small stones, shells, &c., cemented to- gether by the secretions of the animal, and lined with silk ; this protects the larvae, which can put out or draw in the head as occasion re- quires. They drag the case along with them, whether crawling, swimming, or at the sur- face ; they load one side to keep it down with great dexterity. The half-banded caddis fly (neuronia fasciata, Say) is about an inch long, of a tawny color, with an expanse of wings of more than 1 inch. CADDO, a N. W. parish of Louisiana, bounded N. by Arkansas, E. by Red river and the great raft, and W. by Texas; area, 1,200 sq. m. ; pop. in 1870, 21,714, of whom 15,799 were colored. During eight months of the year the Red river is navigable as far as Shreveport. The surface of the parish is undulating, and is partly occupied by Soda and Caddo lakes, which communicate with Red river and with each other, and are navigable by steamboats. The Southern Pacific railroad passes through the parish W. of Shreveport, and the North Louisi- ana and Texas railroad will connect that place with Vicksburg. The productions in 1870 were 384,824 bushels of Indian corn, 56,705 of sweet potatoes, and 26,387 bales of cotton. There were 844 horses, 3,579 mules and asses, 2,173 milch cows, 7,434 other cattle, 2,157 sheep, and 6,886 swine. Capital, Shreveport. CADDOES, or Cadodaqnios, a tribe of Indians on one of the branches of the Red river. They were first visited in 1687 by Jontel and the other survivors of La Salle's fated Texas colony. Spanish writers made them part of the con- federacy known as the Texas. About 1822 they numbered 600, and were on Lake Caddo ; they are now in the Indian territory, on the Wichita river, and in 1869 numbered 284. They have become closely connected with the Wichitas, and are represented as peaceable and industrious. CADE, John, known as Jack Cade, an Eng- lish insurgent, born in Ireland, died July 11, 1450. He assumed the name of Mortimer, pre- tending to be a cousin of the dispossessed heir to the throne, the duke of York, and placed himself at the head of a body of insurgents, which soon became 20, 000 strong. From Black- heath, near London, he addressed a document to Henry VI. in which he set forth the griev- ances for which his followers asked redress, and another containing a demand for the banishment of certain persons. The king having sent an army against him, Cade retreated to Seven Oaks, and then turned upon the king's army, which he completely routed, June 27, 1450, and on July 1 took possession of Southwark. He crossed the Thames by the drawbridge, July 3, and entered London, but at night took his men back to Southwark. They reentered London on the 4th, and beheaded Lord Say, the trea- surer, and Cromer his son-in-law, sheriff of Kent. The insurgents having committed some pillage, the citizens resisted their coming into London again the next morning, and kept pos- session of the bridge against them. A truce being declared, the bishop of Winchester took advantage of it, and distributed pardons under the great seal for those of the insurgents who should return home. Most of them dispersed, and soon afterward Cade himself fled, but was overtaken in Sussex and killed. CADELL, Robert, a Scottish bookseller, died in Edinburgh, Jan. 20, 1849. He undertook the publication of Sir Walter Scott's works after the failure of Constable and Ballantyne. His enterprise aided Scott materially in his ef- fort to pay the debts for which he was liable upon the failure of Constable, amounting to nearly 150,000. Scott paid all except about 30,000, which was advanced by Cadell after Scott's death, on the security of his copyrights, and the outstanding debts were paid in full. CADES, Giuseppe, an Italian painter, born at Rome in 1750, died there in 1800. He ac- quired such skill in copying the works of the
