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.
