I held prayer with him. His wife and
mine, and Ben Hill, jr., and he and I

THE CRESCENT (TTY.
WHATMAN ATLANTA MAN OBSERVES
IN NEW ORLEANS.
The Municipal Frog Ponds—Spanish Fort and
West End —The Custom House and
Charity Hospital.
New Orleans, June 16.
Editor Post-Appeal: Having been
called here to visit a lady professionally,
and being detained for a few days till I
can remove her to our own healthy city,
I have spent gome of my waiting hours
in visiting some of the places of inter
est in this great city. Mj,- first visit was
to Carrollton, in the western part of
the city, and formerly a place of 'edn
siderabie resort by those who ran out
on the street cars on sultry afternoons
in search of pleasure and fresh air.
There is nothing remarkable about Jhe
place except the fine view of the. river,
which is obtained from the long row of
seats along the hank; but there are
many beautiful residences along St.
Charles Avenue, the street leading to
it, and as the land is more elevated as
the river is approached, it presents a
more inviting appearance to an up
country man than the green-scummed
frog pond ditches in the central parts of
the city.
THE FROGS OF THE CRESCENT CITV.
Speaking of frogs, they are as numer
ous in some of the most populous parts
of the city, judging from their noise,
as rats in Atlanta, and every evening
they croak away in front of the place at
which 1 am stopping, on one of tiie
most populous streets, undisturbed by
the passage of horse cars and other vehi
cles every few minutes. The truth is,
they seem to be just as much at home
in this city as in their native frog ponds
in the country; and as the climate ami
water seem to suit them exactly they
show no disposition to retreat ‘ before
the noise and clatter of city life.
A few evenings after my visit to Car
rollton I took a run out on the street
car to West End, some five miles out on
Lake Pontchartrain. This and Spanish
Fort are the places of great resort by
the citizens of New Orleans; and the
popularity of West End «>iay be esti
mated by the fact that every afternoon
at this ueoqpn, after.' six o’clock, long
trains of steam cars run out filled with
men, women and children.
INNOCENT PLEASURES IN THE PELICAN STATE
At the time of my. visit there was
nothing very unusual on band, the pro
gramme consisting only m some fire
works and a band of music, the princi
pal feature of which was the perform
ance of a Mr. Lovy on the cornet. And
yet train after train went out —trains as
long as those on our trunk lings- loaded
to their utmost capacity, until the num
ber of persons assembled on the grounds,
or rather on the planks of the platform,
was estimated at ten thousand. West.
End is truly a delightful resort, and
well deserves its popularity. The view
of the lake is very bne; the walk along
the lakeshore, bordered with choice
flowers and shrubbery, is delightful;
the air from the lake'is exhilarating,
and as pure as could be obtained in this
marshy region; the accommodations
for bathing ample; the facilities for
boating and rowing all that could be
desired; the platform large and well
provided with comfortable seats; the
electric lights brilliant, and the refresh
ments in the way of eating and drink
ing abundant. While enjoying the
pleasures of this place, I could'but wish
that our own city, having so many other
advantages over this, could have some
such places of resort, not so much for
health, with which we are blessed any
way, but for pleasure- and recreation.
Tjhc, we have no great river or lake
near us, but by -i liberal expenditure of
money
(a HINT FOR ATLANTA CAPITALISTS)
Ponce de Leon, and perhaps some other
places around Atlanta, might be made
as attractive to our citizens, and almost
as profitable to the company or indi
vidual fitting up such place of resort.
Something of this kind we must have,
and I think at no distant day we will
have, when there will be three or four
lines of horse or steam cars running
out every day to Ponce de Leon or
some other place fitted up in a style
that will draw half our citizens from the
cares of business on almost every sum
mer evening.
TIIE CUSTOM HOUSE AND CHARITY HOSPITAL.
Another of my visits was to the cus
tom house, which I will not attempt to
describe, but imnly say that it is im
mense, and that the cost is estimated at
§6,000,000, and if the commerce of any
place will justify such expenditures,
New Orleans is one of the places, for its
commerce is fully proportioned to the 1
size of its custom house.
I must not conclude this letter with
out a brief notice of one of the greatest 1
institutions of this or any other country
—the charity hospital. ’ -
This institution was founded in 1832. <
It covers two squares, or four acres of <
ground, with its fifteen different build- ’
ings. The front main building is 300
feet wide and 50 feet deep, and is three
stories high with long wings running '
back. The hospital contains 700 beds, i
and is open to al) nationalities, races
and colors. All diseases not contagious i
are treated here, and besides a medical ]
it has a surgical and lying-in depart
ment. Some ten juvenile additionsliave 1
made their entry into this department f
in a few days just preceding my visit.
Some idea of the work done here may <
be found from the fact that during the j
year 6,000 patients have been treated in
the hospital, for every form of disease, 1
medical and surgical, besides some 8,000 .
who were prescribed for as “out-pa
tients.”' The medical library for the
use of the physicians in attendance em
braces some 3,000 volumes, and fifty
periodicals on the various branches of
medicine and surgery. The house stir- i
geon, or chief executive officer of this
great institution is Dr. A. W. de Roaldcs, '
with a board of visiting physicians em
bracing some of the most eminent names
in the city. Besides the house surgeon ’
and assistant house surgeon, pathologist,
druggists, etc., fourteen resident, stu
dents are appointed every year, after a ,
competitive examination.' These enjoy 1
all the advantages of the institution free
of cash, and correspond in rank and du
ties with the house, surgeons of North- -
hospitals. In this fortunate number '
( a promising voi so physician)
I can only hlehtio.’*. the name of Dr.
Chester Jennings, by whom I was in
troduced and shown .through the hos
pital, and who is a relative by marriage
of the wife of the proprietor of the Post-
Appeal. It will be gratifying for his
friends to know that lire is making good
use of his opportunities and that he has
bright prospects in his professional
career. I had the pleasure of examin
ing several cases with him, and can say
without hesitation tjiat he has well im
proved the superior advantages of his
position as resident student, or one of
the house surgeons of the great charity
hospital.
The domestic department of this in
stitution is in charge of “tin? Sisters,”
and lam told by the -pfficers in charge
that as nurses they are all that could be
desired. But it is < :,l-- necessary to
passthrough this institution to be con
vinced that no place.for sick or well can
excel it in perfect cleanliness, in ven
tilation, in system, in skillful medical
attention, in good nursing, and in every
thing conducive to the recovery and
comfort of the inmates.
! The truth is, except for the long
rows of beds, and an occasional open
wound under process of dressing, there
is nothing having the appearance of a
hospital—no smells whatever, no dis
gusting sights or sounds, but everything
neat, sweet and clean, as much so as
any private residence or hygienic insti
tution, where the. all cleansing use of
water is thp principal remedy.
Since my boyhood I heve heard of
the Charity Hospital of New Orleans,
and I will always be gratified at the
thought of having the ,privilege of
passing through its well kept wards,
and of making the acquaintance of
some of its officers.
When shall we have a hospital in
Atlanta? not a charity hospital, but a
small, neatly kept and well regulated
one, equal to the demands of our pro
gressive city? A charity hospital in
miniature? llVten?

ANDY WEST AT REST.
THE PLUCKY ENGINEER LAID AWAY AT
OAKLAND CEMETERY.
An Immense Crowd and Imposing Ceremonies,
Religious and According to the
Knights of Honor Ritual.
There have been few sadder funerals
and few more largely attended, than
that of Engineer Andrew West, whose
life was the forfeit of somebody’s care
lessness, he having been killed, as re
counted in the Post-Appeal of .Satur
day, in a collision with freight ears
standing on a siding at Kingston, the
passenger train of which Mr. West was
engineer running into the open switch
with the result stated. Mr. West was a
man beloved of his fellows, honest,
sober, industrious, and had been for
twenty-two years an engineer. He was
recognized and endorsed by the highest
officials of his road, the Western and
Atlantic, as the most accomplished an<l
reliable engineer on the line. So per
fect was his inanhopd, so captivating
his association with bis fellow men, that
to know him was to become his friend,
and with such a reputation it is not
strange that his funeral was one to be
remarked in the number attending it.
As announced, the funeral cere
monies were held at the Third Baptist
Church on Jones’ avenue, at 3 o’clock
yesterday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Horna
day officiating. The church was densely
thronged by the friends and relative's
of the deceased. The body, under the
escort of the Gate City and Georgia
lodges Knights of Honor, was borne to
the front of the pulpit, during which
the voluntary “Asleep in Jesus” was
Spng by the entire congregation. The
services were opened with prayer by
the Rev. Air. Allen, after which the pas
tor, Rev. Mr. Hornaday, delivered an
impressive sermon.
After the ceremonies at the church
the body was again placed in the hearse
and escorted to the cemetery by an un
usually large concourse of friends. In
addition to the funeral cortege proper,
which passed through the streets to the
cemetery, sixteen cars, necessitating
two engines, furnished by the AVestern
and Atlantic railroad, were crowded,
two with the Knights of Honor, and the
remainder with friends of the deceased.
On reaching the cemetery and the
body being lowered into the grave, the
imposing burial service of the Knights
of Honor was read by Dictator Steve
Johnson in a manner and tone the most
affecting. Emotional in his delivery
and earnest in his feelings, he.drew tears
to many eyes, and in the two thousand
persons present few had hearts save of
sorrow. The most beautiful of the Dic
tator’s words arv bei-eiv ith .eported: f
Dearly loved ones may be torn from us; carefully
devised plans trust rated ; fondly cherished schemes
demolished; the clouds of sorrow lower mena
cingly andonriiiously upon our heads; all this boast
ed ihthel of mortal happiuess crumble into mel
ancholy ruins; yet, Faith whispers to us, “He
doeth all things well.” Faith scatters the shadows
that cluster about our pathway, as the rising sun
dispels the mists of the morning; and under it,
the dreary present melts away into tho mellow
light of a peaceful and blissful future. The whole
landscape of our existxmce may, at times, seem to
bo shrouded in gloom, and we in distressing un
certainty grope about tn the tangled thicket; hut
hop-.- iippoar.-, smiles, beckons us onward, as she
points the way that loads out of the wilderness
into the fruitful field. Hope withdraws the misty 1
veil, which as a vapor, hangs around the beautiful
hills of the “Blessed land that is afar off.” Through '
Hope, the cheerless wastes of our pilgrimage hero
are brightened- with the loveliest of verdure—
the sweetest of bloom, and the clouds of our mor
tal horizon mantled all over with the dawning
radiance of immortal day.
At the conclusion of the services the
cold ami unsympathetic earth fell with
a heart quailing sound, and soon the ,
mortality of brave Andrew West- was
but as an echo in the economy of the
universe. May he rest in peace.
Thrown from the Cars.
l.ast night, as the AVestern and Atlan
tic passenger train, which comes into
this city at 1:40 a. m., reached a stock
gap three quarters of a mile this side of
Dalton, a colored porter named Henry
Bryant was discovered to have been
thrown from the car. It was some,
minutes before the train conductor
could be communicated with, and some
distance had been gotten over by the
time the engine was brought to. Back
ing to the scene of the accident the rail
road men found the unfortunate Bryant
lying senseless beside the track. It is
supposed that the porter was standing
on the platform looking under the coach
to examine the air brake, when on pass
ing the stock gap one of the posts struck
him on the head. The accident occur
red just before ten o’clock. Bryant’s
injuries are serious, though, it is hoped,
not dangerous.

A JOURNALIST'S FIRST BATH.
Gath in New York: I have had an
adventure to-day., I passed a certain
number on a prominent street, and saw
the sign, “Madame Blank, Medicated
Baths.” Recollecting an advertisement
of the same name and avocation, 1
thought, in an adventurous spirit, that
I would go up and see what the medi
cated baths were. So I went to the top
of the house, and there I found a lady,
speaking with a French accent, who
