The Connecticut Western Appeal
wants Gen. J. R. Hawley for
President.
OuR interesting letter from the
Artesian city will appear next week.
The House of Representatives re,
fused on Tuesday last to pass the
substitute for the Glenn bill. The
Senate insisted on its substitute
notwithstanding. The best thing
the Legislature can do now is to
adjourn and give a long suffering
people a rest.
The Morning News says in its
issue yesterday that “race prejudice
is the best hope for the preserva
tion of our civilization.” There was
as strong a prejudice against the
Jews in this city thirty years ago
as there is against the colored man
today; and vet the Jews are far
above evry other class in prosperity
and business habits. When they
closed their stores on Wednesday
last in honor of one of their feasts
the business part of the city had
the appearance of Sunday. Race
prejudice may help “civilization”
but it plays the devil with the busi
nesa prosperity ot people who are
worrying their minds about it.

LOUISIANA AND LOUISAN Al ANS.
No. 3.
Two circumstances conspired to
delay this letter until this issue;
first, I had a visit for a few days
from the dengue fever, and as my
cousin at whose hou<e I am stop
ping returned from Plaquemine
city with his young and beautiful
Creole bride, I had neither time
nor inclination to write about either
Louisiana or Louisianaians. The
fever is gone, but the jingle and
music of the marriage bells T hear
and found all around and about me.
Suffice to say that this Louisiana
girl on the tbtrd day after her ar
rival entered the kitchen prepared
her breakfast for the family and
has since like any other good house
wife, an ornament to any poor man,
though just elected a first grade
teacher continued to do so and en
joys her success in this new role*
SUNDAY IN NEW ORLEANS.
The people of New Orleans, like
the people of Savannah have had
considerable trouble in bringing
the arm of the law to the support
of the Christian observance of the
Sabbath. Indeed, the people of the
city who formed such a law were
powerless to enact it and so re
course had to be made to the Leg
islature, which through the aid of
the country members, passed a law
compelling a Sort of observance
much to the gratification of the best
people* And yet what is called an
observance here would not be tol
erated in the “Forest City.” All
drygoods, grocery stores and bar
ber shops are closed, but all the
fruit stores and s ands are uncover
ed, confectionary stores too. And
as one rides along on the cars pass
she markets, be finds them busy and
full of customers buying their sup
plies for the day. These markets
keep open till 11 a. m. What
strikes a Geosgian as strange is the
absence of colored persons from
the markets. I have not yet seen
One doing business therein. None
are connected with the street car ■
services. Once in a while you find j
one ditching upon the streets. I
Ninety-nine out <>f every hundred '
of hucksters and fishmongers are
W'die. N egroes think it below
them to sell on the streets. The
Italians dout think so and are coin
ing money. The "hewers of wood
and drawers of water” are the Aug- i
10-Saxons of the vicinity of Cork I
and its neighborhood. Negroes
consider it a good thing to get an 1
opportunity to ditch and work the
streets, but that kind of material is
not much in demand* Yet they do ,
live, and many of them well, too*
CHURCHES.
New Orleans like Savannah has
no lack of churches. Manyjof our
cities I fear have many more
churches than real piety. In this
city the Roman Catholic church
abound. Among the colored peo
ple the Baptist predominates.
Louisana is a Baptist State to the
core as regards the colored people.
Congregationalism and Episcopal
ianism are pretty thoroughly frozen
out.
African Methodism that body
which is fast producing the laagest
number of intelligent pastors and is
the most vigorous body of the Arian
family in Georgia has but a feeble
foothold in this State. Th« Meth
odist Episcopal church of the Unit
ed States is that branch of tho
Methodist family most pcpular here
And no sooner than one enters one
of these sanctuaries than he feels
and beholds yankee thrift, enter
prise, Yankee money and Yankee
spirit of liberty and wide-awake
ness. These churches are well
pastored, excellently trained, and
show mark of earnest Christian
w »rk done for them. I played for
one, Clinton street, M.* E. church.
Rev* T. Jackson, pastor, la.-t Sab
bath and to my utter surprise, and
gratification neither was there a
spiritual (nigger melody) sung nor
was there a mistaken saint present
w'ho imagined she was walking the
streets ot the New Jerusalem and
therefore like a wild elephant she
must jump, snort, strip herself
naked, soil her white linen, spoil
the shape of her bonnet and kicked
up the mischief in general. There
i were Amen-, and groans, but noth
ing more. I was very forcibly re-
• minded of the New Street cnurch
under the very excellent Reverend
i Silters. Bur remember this was a
1 northern Methodist' church. I pass
on. The Biptist churches are
numerous. They are too numerous
’ in some loc ilities for good efficient
work. Often we find them only a
> few rods distant from each other,
; but the members of the one in sym
- pathy, brotherly affection, and real
■ love are onlv twenty-five thousand
miles distant from each other.
» This lack Os Christian fellowship
and love has its own origin in the
• irregular establishment and nnchris
tian and selfi-h foundation of mmv
i of these churches, Their oiigin
reminds one of the customs of the
Barons in the feudal age. When
ever a big brother becomes ag
. grieved andean find enough persons
as unwise as himself to follow him
he forthwith sallies abroad estab'
lish a church defies by hie impru
dence the older church and of this
new branch he becomes the shep
herd and bishop. As a matter of
fact no love can exist between the
followers of these brethren* I speak
particularly of the suburban ap
pendages or villages to th- city. I
think however the chare! es >f the
citv are regular and of th trough
B,prist relations to the other!
churches The largest Baptist
church of this city is the “Old Bip
tist church about 83 years old and
of h membership of 1500. the
larged in the State. Rev. J. H.
Burnell, a y >ung man of intelligence
and cu ture is pa-tor, receiving
about S7OO per annum. A small
salary, but large salaries for minis
ters are not fashionable in this city.
I presume “Grace” pavs the re
mainder of their board bill, rents
etc.
Ansterlitz Street Baptist church.
Rev Geo W dker. pastor an excel'
lent and well to do gentlemen is
pastor. The membership is about
900 and Rev. AYalkar has a new I
and handsome little church Rev.
Alexander R. Jackson of Atlanta,
Ga., and later of Mississippi is pas
tor of the most fashionable, intelli*
gent and cultured Baptist church
in this city and in the State. He is
i also the most eloquent and popular
1 preacher of his denomination in the
State. His i th » Common street
|or Tulane Avenue Bapt st church.
I This church with the St. Paul A M
E church and the C nrral Congre
gational church are regarded as the
first tine churches in the State.
Rev. Jack on is also Vice-president
of the board of trustees of the De •
Land (Baptist) University, succeed
ing Rev. S. Landrum, formerly of
Savannah.
Probably the first church of Nev?
Orleans and of the State is the
Central Congregational church.
Here the graduates and under
graduates of Straight University
worship. The building is the finest
in the State owned by colored peo
ple* It originally belonged to a
white congregation and in « white
locality. It was owned by the
American Missionary Association
and the members purchased from
them for its present use. Certainly
it is the most imposing and costly
congregational church building in
the South and am sorry to say the
worshippers themselves do uot con.
ceal the fact that they think so too.
The pastor has always been white.
Two Sundays ago this church called
Rev. L. B. Maxwell, of Savannah to
the pastorate at salary of S6OO with
such other additional help as the A
M A will see fit to give. It is
expected that Mr. Maxwell will
accept the call.
That our people may get an idea
of this church building I may mere
ly add that it is a very much more
imposing and costlier building than
St. Johns’ Episcopal churcn of
Jasper and though not so
large is built on a basement like
Christ Church and in many respects
resembles it. It is said rhe worship
pers here are the “alite” of the city
and those most acquainted with
the latest cut ol the fashiin. They
are also said to be stiff and cold in
their religious department. Be this
as it mav. The Gospel i-> well
preached here. The singing I con
aider the best I have listened to
here. I like the church and people
very well indeed. I consider this
church and Tulane Avenue church,
Rev. Jackson, the two first churches
of the city. Excepting Central
church. Savannah is way ahead in
church buildings, intelligence and
the numbers of worshippers. The
Second B. Church or our city, Dr.
Ellis, and the Metropolitan First
church. Dr. Love, in i»v judgment,
are unsurpassed by any churches
south of their denomination,
Morse.
i Dr. S. C. Parsons says the people
keep a coming to be examined tree ol
t charge at his office and drug store, cor
ner Liberty and Montgomery streets fol
skin, blood, liver, lung and throat dis
eases, kidney complaint, female weak
ness, rheumatism, old sores, deformed
limbs, sore eyes, fits, loss of manhood
and all affections of the body. As his
vast experience as a doctor obtained in
different countries and hospitals enables
him to detect disease where it would be
overlooked by others
As a D >ctor lor ladies he has no
equal and can cure the worst cases of
diseases of women.
He also examines and treats the eye
for all diseases and keeps a full line of
spectacles, eye glasses, etc. It is the
headquarters of Dr. 8. C. Parsons med
icines, electric supporters, electric belts,
electic lung protectors, electric hosiery,
belts, trusses, splints, crutches; ladies
doily or toilet belts, suspensories,
ahoulder braces, pile trusses, pile pipes,
artificial limbs, and all surgical app’i
nces for deformities made to order, a
full line of drugs, chemicals, herbs, root'
and barks.
