THE WEEBUL AMONG THE SOUTHRONS. Appearance of New Orleans to Northern Wooden Bulld- n( Mornlnff at the French Market Delicious peace-Maker." the ground is impossible, unless one is willing to accept a watery grave. So the cemeteries are long streets of ghostly-white tombs, ten or fifteen feet high and five to ten-feet wide. Beside the family tombs, there are long tenement rows, divided into spaces large enough for a single Though these cemeteries Correspondence of Evening NEW ORLEANS, March 15,1885. the ey-e of the stranger New Orleans has an unpleasantly flattened out appearance.

The buildings are mostly of wood and are built with the inevitable galleries and Corinthian pillars. There are none of them over four stories in height and the most of them are only three. In the French quarter they are even less aspiring. The chief reason for this is the unstable foundations and the fact that land is so cheap that it is not necessary to build upward into the air. But it looks odd in comparison with the massive buildings of our Northern citieH whore land is valuable and foundations firm.

It all looks is every reason why it is old, and amid the oldness'there is very little of the new springing up. I have not heard the sound of the hammer nor seen any building out- Hide the Exposition grounds since I came, though I have met a gentleman who claims to have seen one house in process of construction. Among the public places which are pointed out to the stranger, are the custom-house, United States mint, St. Charles Hotel, Hotel Royal, Washington Artillery Armory, Pickwick Club and Cotton Exchange. Over one of the entrances to the.

custom-house is a bus relief of Bienville the founder of New Orleans, in Spanish costume. Before the mint in 1862 a man linnged for taking from the flagstaff on the building the flag that Fnrrngut had placed there. The St. Charles Hotel was used by Butler during bin stay there for the accommodation of himself and staff. The Hotel St.

Louis, now the Hotel Royal, was in the palmy days before the war the scene of all thiit wiis enterprising, eventful and elegant. In its rotunda, so the authorities sav, many an affair of honor was arranged, miVnv n'nle of property, stocks, bonds, real pstate and flesh and blood, was made. Here the distinguished men of the land were banqueted with magnificence, the likei of which the citv has not seen since. alien into partial disuse for many years it has recentlv been restored and refitted and is now the Hotel Royal. So these buildings are the pride of the New Orleans resident, not only account of being imposing structuivH, but because they are identified with gioricH and the misfortunes of their city.

They have a history, and if it be in soine cases a painful one, it is still a grander thing than to benimply elegant and commonplace and "new." The Washington Artillery Armory, when I saw it, was still 1 rosciit one Sunday morning ami went to the French Market. This is a scries of and broad and low, presided over by French, and Spanish aud nix'ropH and various others diflicult to classify'. Here everything, ttsh, flesh, fowl and vegetable, is sold, and where thel'rcnch coffee, "which'has by -some inexplicable means gained a world-wide reputation, is dispensed. Here many go for an cany breakfast. It in a picturesque sight, the motley crowd of huckster men and women, of all complexions, with their eeaseleHK importuning in a- hair-understandable patois to buy this or that, the busy cooks, the array of all spring vege- tub'los, the moving, laughing, talking, interested visitors, it was worth the unwonted early rising to we.

To be sure 1 saw a swarthy cook wash a spoon in his mouth and wipe it on his apron. 1 turned in sorrow nncl went to the rench Cathedral to mass. It is-little incidents like this that make it imperative upon the visitor to the French Market to take what Arteinus Ward would call merely a "cursory view "of things. One must pay the peimltv of being too observing. The French portion of the city is interost- picturesque and dirty.

The houses are casket. are well kept, a the'nTis a depressing experience. If I was a resident of New Orleans I should boldly and' enthusiastically favor cremation-if a spot dry enough could be cisterns also are all on top of the ground, likewise the sewers. Owing to the fact of the being below the water level, a peculiar and interesting system of drainage is employed. It was carefully explained to me.

Simply stated, it seems about this wav The water from the river is drawn down by means of. engines, hydrants and the various appliances into the. gutters, thereby flooding them and, presumably, carrying their contents into canals, which are prepared receptacles for the same, from whence, by means of draining machines, the accumulation is lifted or pumped to such a height as will give it a fall of three or four feet on its course to its final destination, Lake Ponchartrain. To one accustomed to subterranean sewerage, these sluggish open streams upon either side of the street are an offense. They enhance and accentuate one's disapprobation of the clammy palpable dampness of the climate.

They are an outward and visible sign of a generally diffused not-to-be-escajjed permeating and penetrating wetness. Another noticeable characteristic is the front gate bell and the high iron fence. These occasion some inconvenience to the visitor who would gladly catch a glimpse of the possible beauties of the town, or who, after an evening out would like to get in without arousing the neighborhood. But they give an air of exclusiveness and give an impression that anything so carefully guarded must have superior excellence. An impression not always borne out by the facts.

It was my firm opinion after having been STATE JFABJI XOTES. JAMES CROAK, of Green County, pocketed $2,268 for forty fat steers. COL. JOHN COCHRAN'S farm near Trenton Center, is well stocked with cattle. N.

E. ALLEN is feeding 600 sheep through the winter on his farm near Trenton Center. DR. BLAKE, of Lodi, has sold the veteran stock-horse, Reaper Boy, to Joseph Gillam, of Baraboo. OVER 460,000 pounds of tobacco were packed at Ft.

Atkinson: The help alone cost over $7,000. J. J. WILLIAMS, of Aurora, drew the cash prize at the Berlin fair.for the best exhibit of full blooded stock. MRS.

JOSEPH MAXWELL, of Hebron, sold $36 -worth of eggs in about 8 months last year. Her flock numbers 34 hens. IN a recent shipment of hogs from Prairie du Sac were ninety-six for which 0. E. Stone, of Surnter, paid JAMES RICHMOND, of Lodi, paidT.

W. Laramie, of Beloit, $150for anil- month-old Hplstein calf named Baron Boelyn. JAMES CROAK, a leading stock-raiser of Green County, sold forty steers for $2,268. The animals averaged 1,207 pounds. A NUMBER of farmers near Dousman, Waukesha County, have agreed to plant thirty acres of tobacco the coming season.

THREE hundred and thirty thousand bushels of potatoes have been shipped and contracted for at Waupaca since October last. F. C. EDWARDS, of Sullivan, Jefferson here some days, that the most pressing need of the city was a cooking school. I have remained long enough to see some culinary excellence.

It is my conviction that the onion is really and truly the root of all evil in this land. Once the mysterious and absorbing passion for that vegetable could be eradicated there is little that could not be hoped. For have they not the finest of fish and vegetables and fruits? Condensed milk is another curse which the Northerner has to bear. True, the milk cart is seen in the land, but the canned article is the rule. It turns the very black coffee a sad, discouraged gray, which is not tempting to the eye nor the palate.

I am told that cows do not thrive here, though I have seen some very honest, responsible looking ones in my walks about the city. I came here with the idea that theboutn- e.rn landlady had a supreme contempt for the sordid affairs of life and that in arranging business affairs and tendering money for services received I must practice an extreme and preternatural delicacy.

P. Porter, of Cookville last week. The crop consisted of 55 acres and sold'for" 13c assorted. There were over 250 cases of the lot and in payment for the same a check for $8,352.81 was drawn. Mr.

Porter has already received $1,200 in advances, making the tobacco crop return a revenue of $9,552.81. THE sales in nine factories of Fond du Lac County during the past season were reported as here given: John Quick, Lamartine, H. J. Martin, Frendship, O. P.

The New England Homestead doubts whether "this imitator of the driven-well patent fraud has got the face to show himself in the sections of New England or New York, where his 'patent' was used before he was born, very likely. If he does, the tobacco-growers' associations will look after him, and don't you forget it." EDGAR STILSON, of Oshkosh, owner of the Glendale herd of thoroughbreds, has sold the bull Leon, calved May 1, 1883, got by London Prince 18th, 52.550, out of Mistleto 6th, to Cyrus Taylor, of Waupun, Wis. This bull is one of the finest animals eversoldfrom the Glendale herd. He also says he has sold the Short-horn bull Lieutenant, red, to J. S.

Roblee, Neenah, London Prince, 3, 20.292 out of Zilda. He has also purchased three Poland China pigs of A. C. Moore Sons, Canton, 111. The boar is not quite 9 months old, will weigh 188 pounds and is a fine animal.

EDITOR SMITH of the Cedarburgrsews, writes as follows: "The success achieved in raising the Burrell Whitman Ensilage fodder corn, in Sheboygan County has led Mr. Chas.Hoppe of Sheboygan to send for 100 bushels of the seed for himself and others.

BY L. R. SMITH. Young Cupid went walking, one bright sunny day. Quoth he, "Just to help pass the time away, I'll mike love to some maid I shall chance tosee As I wander along so free, so free: As I wander along so free." He came to a maiden with eyes of blue, All dimpled, and smiling, and fair to view.

He thought as he gazed, "How fair is she; Now this is the maiden for me, for me: Yes, this is the maiden for me!" He walked up boldly, this gay young rover. Quoth he, "Fair maid, I shall be your lover!" She answered, "My friend, you have made a mistake; It takes two a bargain to make, to make; It takes two, a bargain to make."

It chanced, as. he traveled the hill adown, That he met a maid with eyes of brown. "Ah, surely," said he, "I shall win her heart," And he plucked from his quiver a dart-a dart; Hepluckedfromhisquiver adart. But she shook her head "No, uo!" quoth she, You are much too conceited, young sir, for me." Then she gave him a nod, aud a gay little smile; As she left him alone by the stile; She left him alone by the stile.

"I never did care, for eyes of brown." He mused, as he wended his way to town. The Zephyrs laughed as they hurried away: "Sour grapes! sour grapes!" they seemed to say; "Sourgrapes," they seemed to say. And so he went on, with black eyes, and gray, But was treated by all in the very same way. "There seems to be none in the sea; There seems to be none in the sea." me, low, the streets are so narrow that seemed onecoukl reach across them. Guial Street; is the dividing lino between French Spanish New Orleans and the American portion.

Tin- streets lose their identity upon crossing Canal. The street that on the American side is St. Charles in I'l-cnch town becomes Royal, and never in the world was the word such a misnomer. Ihe dwellers here are very proud of their dingy They have a superb scorn for innovations, and a calm and serene in their old customs, their traditions of past grandeur and their family trees, it is story is told to every stranger will probably be retold again and again there were those living on the French jde who, in their aversion to all things lew, had never crossed Canal Street, which loes not seem to mo a great loss to the on the other side. I found it inter- to wander around in this old, poetic lortion of the city, taking care, warned by xperience, not to investigate too closely.

I have a conviction that I saw some of the ow-rooted tenements and the dwellers thereof, of which', and of whom, Cable writes. These people have no love for Cable. They feel that he has done them deadly wrong. Canal Street itself is busy thoroughfare. The cars start from it, for all parts of the city.

Its shops are tilled with rich goods, many of them quite unlike in gorgeous colors, striking patterns and delicate textures those sold in our own stores. Already these gay fabrics, lace parasols, ex- quisite'fans aud all the alluring adjuncts to a summer toilet are displayed at the open doors. 1 pause and admire and others do the same. Over aud over I hear exclamations of admiration; then I hear some one say, "Isn't it mighty pretty?" I know my Southern sister stands beside me. The fondness for this somewhat extravagant adjective is strange.

They go so far sometimes as to assert that a thing is mighty weak. The fondness for the poetic and historic is not confined to the old quarter. It has place in the new as the naming of their streets testify. The wretched, prosaic street-cars bear the names of Erato Terpsichore, Polyhymnia, I make a call on Clio Street and another on Melpomene. I believe the immortal nine arc all so honored.

New Orleans is a city of monuments. lu the center of Canal Street, on a line dividing Koyal from St. Charles stands a-colossal of Henry Clay. It is said that it was under the shadow of this statue that the first out-of-door party of disunionists met to discuss the question at issue. In Chartres Street, a few minutes' walk- from Canal, opposite the French Cathedral, with the Pontelba buildings on either side, stands the bronze equestrian statue of Jackson.

On one side of the pedestal are the imperishable words: "The union must and shall be preserved." On Lafayette Square there is a lite-size marble statue of Benjamin by Hiram Powers. From my window I look out on Lee Square, from thecen- ter of which rises a shaft surmounted with n. statue of the well-beloved son of the South, Robert'E. Lee. At the intersection of Camp and Prytania Streets is a statue of Margaret Haughery.

She is represented sitting with her arm around a little child. She was a woman who amassed a considerable fortune in the baking business, a woman plain and obscure in life, but of benevolence not bounded by creed or class. She was much beloved and in front of the school she founded, comradeship with these heroes of war point of expense and general uncomfortable- ness has not surpassed my expectations. I have learned that towels rough-dry will serve their purpose, and that one can sleep though the pillow-slip be mislaid the sheets unhcmmed. I will say, however, that for a city so wet as New Orleans, there is a strange'difficulty in procuring water.

A 'pint cup of the fluid is considered ample quantity for a bath. I am in the family of educated, well-to-do people, along with others from Wisconsin and other states. As a rule I think that, all visitors have accepted the discomforts of the occasion with philosophy and praiseworthy graciousness. A time like this is not a favorable one for studying the social or domestic lite of a city. Unquestionably there are beautiful houses, where all that is hospitable and lovely is dispensed.

Unquestionably there are perfect housekeepers and excellent service and all that makes for the happiness of guest and host. This I know- is true. So, if the'Southern woman is less beautiful than I had dreamed, I can still pronounce her in many respects charming, and the Southern gentleman courteous with a courtesy that is unfailing and unquestion- in" that is bestowed alike upon rich and poor, high and low. I will not even pronounce the beautiful creole a myth, fane rnav be here. It has been my had almost said my good fall ill while here.

I shall not soon forget the sweet motherly and sisterly kindness of some new-made friends who came and ministered unto me. Neither will I forget the delicious "peace-maker" they brought me. This is a loaf of broad, excavated and nllea. with large luscious broiled oysters, with chopped'pickles and various condiments. It is a.

favorite dish for gentlemen who stay out late nights and dread the frowns of the wife, who sits waiting, to take home with them. From its power to restore harmony it has, gained its name. The restaurant bills of fare say: "Special attention paid to putting up peace-makers." Doubtless, though the Exposition be a financial failure, results that cannot be measured by money will grow out of it. The North and the South will know other better, and out of this knowledge closer and friendlier relations will come which shall be for the lasting benefit and happiness of both. I have written so much, and since I must still leave much unsaid, I mar as well istop one time as another.

There is a vast army of writers here, ihey will probably write till the season closes then go home and afflict the public with Kecollections of New Orleans and the Exposition." I- promise faithfully not to do this. I have said my say. CARLOTTA PKKKT. A Miser's Kepcntance. MONTREAL, March Xavier Beaudry, known as the miser millionaire, is dead.

ALLEX, of New London, sold a 2-year-old Holsteiu bull for Among his recent purchases, is an 11- month-old Holstein bull, for which he paid $150. J. M. EDWARDS, of Palmyra, has a flock of about 60 hens. From January to March the sale of eggs amounted to besides using freely for a family of six.

WILLIAM WOOD, one of the best sheep feeders in the state of Wisconsin, is feeding 1,500 sheep on his farm near Monroe. He thinks they will average 150 pounds. MANY of the farmers around Mt. Ida, Grant County, will raise tobacco this season. Over 20,000 feet of lumber has been hauled from Frame du Chien for tobacco sheds.

HOMEK RIDER, of Baldwin, St.Croix County, has become an extensive stock raiser. He now has 300 sheep, 44 horned cattle and 22 horses and colts. His barns and pens are warm, well-ventilated and clean. DAVID OWES, of Caledonia, had a very successful sale of Short-horn cattle at Portage on the 18th ult. Twenty heads were disposed of for The highest paid was for a yearling bull and for a 10- mqnths-old heifer.

MICHAEL O'CosNELL, of Burke, Dane County, has sold his seven-acre crop of tobacco to Mr. Klauber. of Madison. The yield was 30,642 pounds, or 1,520 pounds per acre. The price paid was 16 cents per pound in bundle, and brought the snug sum of CAPT.

E. MARCH, of the Sunny Side Farm, delivered a crop of ten acres of tobacco at Milton Junction, that weighed 10,356 pounds, which, at 15 cents per pound, amounted to or a little more per acre. It was all of the Spanish variety, and was delivered in the bundle. OLE K. ROE, of Pleasant Springs, Dane County, recently delivered his crop of 1884 tobacco to Sanford Soverhill, of Edgerton, agent for L.

Weil, of New York. The crop of fifteen acres weighed in the bundle 18,000 to 18 feet high on highly manured soil, tmd 20 to 'acre, according to soil, season and cultivation. We saw it in stock, last fall, and the pyramids reminded us ol stocks of hop-poles, for height. It is sweet and tender to the extreme butt, and a wonderful food for making a flow of good milk. Though it is called ensilage corn, those who have no silo can raise it and cure it as they would other corn stalks, and can get more cow food to the acre, than can be grown from any other forage crop.

One man in Illinois, whom we know to be reliable, says he found it produced three times as much food per acre, as common fodder corn." JtlElt. 20, S. A. Cole, aged 65. 13, Daniel Austin, aged 22, R.
