It has been the writer’s good pleas
ure to visit a number of the largest
cities in the union and about them
all is something of a sameness, but
with New Orleans it is different.
There is something out of the ordi
nary at every turn from the French
Quarter to the world-famed cemetery
of Metairie where rest the bodies of
the great citizens of a great city.
It is worth a trip to Louisiana to
aee this historic city with its French
and American quarters; with its
Creoles and their customs and habits
so very much different from our own.
It is aptly called the "Crescent
City’’ from its shape as it lies along
the river of rivers, and to the on
looker it looks very much like the
letter S. The river all about it, or
it all about the river, which Is from
40 to 200 feet deep and seems in
places to be above the city, which
lies protected by levees and sand
bags, all of which are carefully look
ed after by officials.
St. Charles and Canal streets are
the principal thoroughfares of the
city and for beauty they are exceed
ingly hard to beat. The most beauti
ful and up to date residences are
found on these streets which are at
all times crowded with people. One
would think that it is hot but sta
tistics show that for thirty years the
temperature lias not gone to 100. The
summers are long, but not so terri
bly hot and the soil passes fertile as
we understand the word. The riot
of palms and ferns and flowers is
some sight for a Georgia Cracker.
The Oleanders were in full bloom an
r-cl and white they were as pretty
as could he.
it is noted for its parks, and City
Park is noted over the world for
the duels fought under its great
oaks with their giant arms covered
with Spanish moss which made the
Creole days famous in world history.
One could not help but feed the ro
mantic thrill of the past traveling
over scenes so - graphically described
in the world's literature*.
Cemeteries.
I have often heard the expression,
“The City of the Dead,” but never
properly appreciated its meaning unt
1 stood with bared head In old Met
airie cemetery. Only the .lews bury
under ground. The Catholics and
others bury in vaults and tier after
tier of niches are found in which
the dead repose. P really looks
like a little city with its streets and
lawns and flowers systematically ar
ranged. In the center of the ceme
tery is the monument erected to the
Army of Tennessee, surmounted by
a perfectly splendid statue of Gen.
S Johnston©. 1 came across a
family vault with ray mother’s name
on it —Howard —and was much sur
prised to find that the names Wil
liam, Frank, Emma, Mary, Charles
and others were all very familiar to
me.
Here was fought one of the great
and decisive battles of the war of
INI2. Gen. Jackson met the socall
ed trained soldiers and veterans or'
Sir Edward Packenhain and in a
short time had whipped the stuffin’
out of them with his soealled raw re
cruits. This battle was fought Janu
ary 8, 181a. This battle made Jack
son the military idol of the Ameri
can people and started him on the
road to the presidency. Here in the
Civil war was the scenes of many
important army transactions. The
city was under Butler ‘‘The Beast"
for quite awhile and also was captur
ed by Farragut in April d2.
Possibly it is tlu* greatest market '
I
today in America, New York hardl.t
excepted. 1 spent an afternoon down |
where the ships come in and I nev- I
er expect to even think about star
vation again as a nation. Nothing
could be more interesting than to
stand and watch the great steamers
come in with their cargoes of coffee
and other products from the markets
of the world, and see these same ves
sels go out laden with the products
of the great Mississippi Valley.
Great swarthy blacks stripped to tin
waist were engaged in loading and tin
loading lumber, potatoes, sugar, flour
meat, hides, shoes, wire, whiskey mo
lasses, and in fact every thing that
you could think of is handled, espe
cially fruits and vegetables of all
description.
About New Orleans
(By Rev. W. H. Faust)
It seems that the supplies are In
exhaustible. They come from all
parts of the United States and meet
the demands of the whole world.
The largest dry dock in the world is
here. Pere Charlevoix made no mis
take in 1722 when with prophetic for
sight he said: I have a well ground
ed hope that this wild and desert
place, which the reeds and trees do
yet most wholly cover, will be one
day—and that day not far distant pe>
haps—an opulent efty and the me
tropolis of a rich and great colony.”
One today can realize that his proph
ecy has become a reality.
As I walked the streets I noticed
the names, Iberville, Bienville, Sau
ville and thought df the days when
these brothers traversed the then
unknown section in the name of
France and discovered that which
meant so much for the future of
our great country. In western Lou
isiana they tell you of the story of
Longfellow’s Evangeline and how the
lovers driven from Acadia were sep
arated and how near they came
to each other in passing but never
came together until death brought
about the union. Few things in lit
erature are more beautiful and pa
thetic.
Time fails to tell of the rice fields
flooded with water from the Missis
sipi; of the negroes wading through
the great fields pulling up weeds.
The sugar cane and the numerous re
fineries for sugar that are put up
all about like our cotton gins.
Even across the hundreds of inter
vening miles now 1 can smell the fra
grance of the flowers and enjoy the
sweet scent of the Oleanders that
grow so luxuriantly along the bayous.
The cotton of course is far ahead
of ours in some places being nearly
knee high, but cotton is too com
mon to write about. Corn shoulder
high and fine. Crop prospects good
and everywhere things looked like
the Eden so graphically described in
the Word of the long ago.
But with it all, flowers and fertili
ty and plains give me Georgia, the
greatest state in all the Union.
Bilious Attacks.
When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom
ach and causes nausea, vom
iting and a terrible headache. Take
Chamberlain’s Tablets. They will
tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be i as
well as ever. They only cost a
quarter. Obtainable everywhere.
Fair Warning
And now, they say, they are go
ing to prohibit pink lemonade. The
bacteriologists, or whoever it is that
are always discovering that some
dung particularly dear to our hearts
is deadly and dangerous, the bacter
iologists say that it litis more germs
than lleintz has pickles. Bo it must
go. Well, all right. But by the great
Central Pole of the universe; we
want to warn you scientific ginks,
right here and now: don’t go snoop
ing around and discovering t hat it
is unsanitary to feed peanuts to the
elephant. For if you do, and you try
to have any laws passed prohibiting
that pinnacle of pastime, the great
American public will rise up on its
hind legs and hurl the whole horde
of you, with hideous ruin and conibus
tion, down to bottomless perdition.
