THE T.-1 tJ R ON, EXPOSITOR. 11W NNW a' FROM -TIIE SUNNY SOUTEI. The following interesting letter writ - ren by a -citizen of Woodstock from New Orleans we take from the Sentinel - of last week : DEAR SIR,—Mie arrived here on Satur- day, an hour behind time. But for a tremendous clownpotel- of rain, which be - gals juat before he reached Cincinnati and continued nail we arrived at Mo- bile, our journey was pleasant and satis- factory. Our train from Detroit was what is called a special buffet vestibule ssxpress, so we stopped at but few places. We did not leave taw car for meals at aIl. Although having a somewhat limited bill of fare to select from, we, aid very well and it answered much better than to get off the train and suatelt a hurried meal at the various stations. On Saturday morning ..the clouds cleared away and we were cheered in spirit by a bright and clearing sky. Parts of the country through, which we passed were miserable se leed—little else to be seen but water an I scrub pine, with here and there a negro hut with any number of little darkieS grinning at us. As we neared Nashville we passed through one of the nationall cemeteries in which there are thousands of graves of both the Union and Southern soldiers. The grounds are beautifully kept, the grass being quite green and freeh. There •is very much of the lower part of Ala- bama I would not consider worth one dollar an acre. In parts, however, we would see fine fields of what appeared to be young wheat. ,As we neared the coast, an orange tree would here- and there be seen. We •arrived under a bright blue sky with lovely flowers on either hand, moving their heads and laughing at us, and exclaiming in joyous welcome, " Come on you celd lamps of ice; you a.re welcome to enjoy our balmy air and sweet odor." There were beds of verbenas, salvias, gera.n- ittms, roses of all kinds—climbers and hundreds of other kinds, lilies and the brightest hybiscus in all its gloty. New Orleans in its general aspect, so far as the output of leaf is concerned, is about like our second week in summer. Of °aurae in semi -tropical climes, to our northern eyes, it is most charming, sug- gesting perpetual sunshine and blue akies. The journey was altogether pleasant. We were fortunate in seeuring nice pri- vate lodgings in the house.of a sister in- law of the late celebrated Jefferson Davis. We shall in all probability re- main here for about six weeks and then ran back to Beloxi or some other nice place oti the coast. Yesterday we went to the French marketein the morning, and in the afternoon tbok a run up St. Charles street as far as Carrollton avenue, some six miles,. to have a look at the fine private residences and their fine surroundings, flowers, etc. The sight was most lovely. It was as- novel sight for us to aee the festive lawn mower in operation. The flower gardens were lovely, and it was a Charming sight to us to see the orange trees loaded with golden fruit—and all this in February. The question arises just here, can we ever content ourselves in our cold north- ern homes? Perhaps it would have been better for us nevei to have visited this southern land of fruit and flowers. But, after all, the picture, like most things, has two sides to it. We have in our northern hornes many pleasant and goodly things not possessed by the dwel- lers of this bright and sunny land. On Sunday we went to St. Paul's church, both morning and evening, and heard the Rev. Mr. Waters, who met us at the church door in the evening and asked us to,remain for a few- minutes after service, as he wished to speak to us. He of course gave els a hearty wel- come and promised to see us later on. make their appearance until the first of „come dry and hard, wet it all over With May. Yesterday we went out • sight.' 'seeing down theriver by street cars, some three or four miles, to the battle- ground where General Jackson fought the British iu 1815 and gained his cele brated victory. It is now known as , he Chalmette Cemetery, where a large number of our brave aoldiers are buried side by side with the Yankee slain, whose dust will there remain until the resurrection morning. In the grounds of one of the old plantation homes we saw. what was to us 'a beautiful sight. It was magnificent climbing rose, white or pale yellow, which had for its support a fine, large southern cedar or cyprus tree, and there at the height ofr some thirty feet it displayed its charms and loveliness in arteezing richness to the edtniration of the beholder. And it -was merely one of the many others of various colors and sizes. Orange trees were also in abundance, laden with the golden fruit. The old home had rather a neglected look, yet there was much that was bright and beautiful in what still remained of its former glory. Had it not been for tbe high wind and dust we would have had a pleasant little ex- cursion. There was another serious drawback, to our enjoyinent which I must tell you about. The river at the present time is at its highest water—above the "dan- ger" limit, as they say ;and our path after leaving the cars lay aloug the levee over which, in many places, the water was finding its way. This taken in con- nection with the fact that the mighty. river was higher than our heads—about eight feet '-higher than the general level of the country—it had to us a Very alarming appearancee especially as the waves were dashing against the low, soft embankment, just above our heads. And men on horseback were hurriedly galloping up and down giving orders to laborers on the levee, hard at work with shovel and spade. We felt very like getting back to the city—where, like the ostrich with his headburied in the sand we could not Bee the peril, thus fancying ourselves safe from the impending dan- ger. How would you feel with such a huge tidal wave constantly over your head? Not very jolly ! .Iithink I hear you say that you would prefer having your home on a hill. I am reminded by this that there are people here who have never seen a hill, and are curious to know what a mountain looks like, the whcle country for hundreds of miles on all sides being a level plain interspersed with marehes, bayous and rivers. New Orleana is only some ten feet above the sea, a distance of over a hundred miles. We have had a very marked change in the temperature siuce last week. On Friday it rained all day, and on Satur- • day Morning it was very cold with frost sufficient to kill a good many of the ten- der plants. It has remained cold since, making it necessary to have fire in our grate and and an additional supply of bedding. To me the changewas wel- come as it enabled me to walk about in comfort, and the bright glow in •the grate gave to our rooifi a more home -like appearance. This morning a white frost f f th h This is, I think, the only place I ever m v isited where I have not et some one I had seen before. I have not yet come across a single man whose face I know. All are strangers. Yet we find the peo- ple moat kind. We have people in our hoarding house who come- from New York City, Chicago, Louisville, Ken- tucky, Mississippi, Milwaukee and New Orleans, and we find them each and all kind and agreea,ble. The Rev. M. Waters, whose church we attend. is most,friendly. Mr. Waters is a very earliest Christian man and preaches ex- cellent sermons. We have been almost everywhere in the city, and have visited many of the nooks and corners of this curious old place. You may not be aware of the fact that New Orleans was originally owned by Spain, and then by France. • The descendants of both of these nations are to be found here in large numbers ; ' and the curious old things once owned by these people, such as old furniture, old clocks, china, pictures, and old brass things, are gathered into old dingy shops in one particular street, Rue Royale, can be seen in large quantities, and will afford pleasing entertainment for a number of afternoons if one is at all carioua about old things of this kind. New Orleans is especially intereeting among the cities of the United States from the picturesqueness of its older sections and the* language, tastes and customs of a large portion of its people. , The names remaining in vogue in the old French quarter preserve an interesting record of its humble .beginnings; and the Sovereignty of Spain is even more • distinctly traceable in the stuccoed wall and lattices, huge looks and hinges, arches and gratings, corrugated roofs and tiles, dim corridors and inner courts. brightened with urns and basins, sta- tues, half hid in roses and 'vines, and musical with trickling water. There are streets named for. the Spanish Gov- ernors, eta. They say that one of the great attractions of the city lies in the fact that you can dine in any fashion, or in any country you wish, Spain, France, Italy, the United States, or even China, without going half a dozen squares from your room. Few places have better or so good market supplies as New Orleans. It has both salt and fresh water fish in its immediate neighborhood ; oysters at its very doors. Early vegetables are grown in abundance in and around the eity. We havethad on our table green peas, new potatoes (Irish), lettuce, spinach and strawberries. Doesn't that make your rnouth water? Wouldn't you like to mime in and dine with us? We have up to this time enjoyed our so- - jowls here, surrounded as we, are on all sides by beautiful roses and flowers of 'neat sorts. For some days past the temperature has been rather high for comfort, the thermometer registering from 75 to 82 degrees in the shade, and the dust is sometimes very disagreeable and trying. The water carts do not wus seen on all the roo s o e ouses, reminding me of our cold days in the early autumn at home, Yesterday I went with Mr. Waters to his Sunday school, composed entirely of negro children with white teachers. The school is a success and could be greatly enlarged could teachers be had. It was something of a novelty to me to see so many darkies congregated in one room. They sang nicely and behaved themselves is well as most white child- ren. I am grieved to find the Sabbath day so lightly regarded as it is in this city. Many placea are open for trade ; street cars run as on other days ; horse racing is indulged in, and the theatres are in full blast. Of course, where the Sabbath is so desecrated, church attend- ance and the keeping and honoring the day is of secondary importance with a large number of the inhabitants. - Worldliness is very prominent on all hands. We shall remain here a few' days longer and will then go up the Gulf to either Pass Christian or Biloxi, where we expect to remain two or three vv‘eeks and then return here to get the beat for Cincinnati. We are told that the Gulf is very full of people from the north. The little towns all along the coast are becoming popular resorts for nothern people, both in summer and winter. Fishing and shooting is very good. Hunting alligators in the suburbs of the city used to be a popftlar sport, when they were plentiful, but as soon as the skins of them became a commercial com- modity, hunters made it a profession and the result has been their • destruc- tion. But few are seen in the swamps now. We were fortunate enough to see five pretty big fellows about six or eight feet long (nice pets) from head to tip of tail. They were confined in a small yard in connection with an office in town. . Yours very truly, W. H. E. Naw °MAUNA, March 3rd, 1890. (cold water, put it in a baking pan and place another one over it.

After the meat is done and there -is no water left inthe kettle, take out all the bone, slice the meat and let it fry a nice brown in the kettle. To cook cabbage, slice or chop fine, put in a skillet with water enough to coyer.

To the Young Wives. I am a farmer's wife, consequently I am anxious to do all I can to help them, for I think they, of all other women, need help and encouragement. I want to say to the young wives, don't, as soon aF you are married and settle down, over -haul your husband's trunk, take out his little trinkets, keep -sakes, pic- tures of his friends, etc., that he has been ao careful of, put them in the sit- ting toom for the dust soon to spoil. It is not right, but it is often done, and don't you think he would feel a little hard toward you whenever he looked at them? Never let Sunday morning come without a clean, nicely mended shirt and pair of socks for your huaband. I have no patience with the wife who says: "This shirt has a hole in it, John, but I guess you will have to wear it. I really could not find time to mend it." Now 1 am sure that during the long week there must have been somthing that she might better have neglected than her husband's shirt. . If baby has a bad cold and it is diffi- cult for him to breathe, just put one or two drops of any good f resh oil (hen's oil is the best) in each nostril. Then warm a soft piece of flannel, and, after oiling his chest well, place the warm flannel on it, and put him in a warm bed. In the morning I think he will be better. Now for a few kitchen hints. Keep papers cut in squares arid hung over the kitchen table.. They are very conveni- ent to put under kettles, frying pans, etc., when you place them on the table.

No medical aid was lacking: The servants answered his ring, Respectfully heard his order, And eupelied him with everything. But -still there was something wanting, Something he couldn't command, The kindly words of compassion, The touch of a gentle hand. And he said, as his brow grew darker And he rang for the hirling nurse, " Well;anarriage may be a failure, But this is a blamed sight worse." IMPORTANT NOTICES DUMILOI BULL FOR.
