Suuday in New Orleans. | | (FIFTH LETTER), Sir,—At the risk of shocking some of the sensibilities of the good people of P. E. Island, who maintain the sacredness of the ‘Christian Sabbath and shriask from its |slightest violation, I propose in this letter ‘to tell your readers how Sunday is kept in New Orleans. Some four or five services jare held in the twenty or more Roman |Catholic cathedrals and churches of the | Crescent City, all fully attended by devout /Catholics. ‘hese begin with Low Mass at Gand again at 8 a.m. with Children’s | Mass at 9 ; then High Mass is celebrated lat 10, which is followed by Vespers and | Benediction at 5 30 p. m.,—but these hours |are varied, as well as the services, in some ,of the Roman Catheclic churches ; yet it is ‘safe to affirm, from what | have seen, that ‘the duty of attending the public ministra- }tions in the Catholic churches is not one of ‘the neglected ubligations of the Roman Catholic population of New Orleans. The Protestant Episcopal communion has over ten churches, and all these are well at- ,tended, but not so strictly as are the Roman | Catholic services. They are mostly congre- gations ef Anglican teudencies, but none of them have attained tothe status of your own St. Peter's. The Presbyterian inter- est accommodates the New Orleans adher- ‘ents to the Confession of Faith in eight buildings cf desirable proportions. ‘Ihe | Methodists occupy six editices and the Baptists two. The German Lutherans have two, and there are some others where | peculiar sectarian views are taught to small congregations. The Unitarians have but one church, and that is often closed in con- ‘seguence of the scant interest taken in ‘Unitarian doctrine ; and there iv one Greek |Church, that of the Holy Trinity, whuse altar ornaments were presented by the late Empress of Russia, which is but scantily ‘attended. Thus it will be seen that New Orleans is quite a City of Churches, and the population a church-going people. But jthere is a reverse side to this, for Sunday in New Orleans is the great marketing day as well as the great day of petitioning lfor the forgiveness of sins. Both God and Mammon have altars side by side, as it were, set up for their worship ; and on Sunday in this city (peopled from every nation under the sun) it is difficult to determine which is worshipped most. Counting up the ;churches, I believe the whole number to de jone hundred and fifty-five, with an addition of thirty-six attended by colored people, mostly Baptists and Methodists; but large numbers of the colored race, especially the {Crevles, are Catholic, and attend Roman ‘Catholic churches. If, however, [ put all these places of worship on one scale, and weigh them on any Sunday in the year, against the houses of amusement and the open stores, which are very numerous and include all the public markets, all the theatres and al) the other channels of amusement and avenues of protit, the other ‘scales would drop down with a preponder- ance that would, or cught to, awaken the benumbed conscience of an older city than this venerable, historic and glorious ;handmaid of the Father of Waters. Deep waters, they say, generally rua very smoothly, and in like manner, New Orleans pursues the even tenor of her way, with unruffied exactness, through all her depths of devotion and deeper svandings of Sun- day Mammonisms. But to proceed. What is called the French market, because of i's ‘Jocation in the French quarter, which is so called because Canal St. (through which at one time was a canal, but now filled up) divides New Orleans into what muy be, aud is sometimes, called the French and English quarters. Before the Civil War, New Orleans was all French, Spanish and Crevle, and almost entirely contined to the area northeast of Canal St. After the war the southwestern section was boumed, until now a quarter ceutury of enterprise has (spread New Oxleans over the whole area, ‘go that Canal St., as an intersection, is lit- more than a map @ivision. The French market regularly opens at 5 a m,, and closes at noon, but Sunday morning is the greatest day for attendance and dis- play of allthe week. This great maiket is in tive divisions, which are severally ; lst, meat ; 2nd, the bazaar ; 3rd, the fruit ; 4th, the vege- table, and 5th, the fish. Dry goods, bvots, shoes, tinware and articles of household furni- ture are for sale, especially on Sundays. En- quiring at what hour the F,ench market would be seen to best advantage, 1 was assur- ed: *‘Go on Sunday morning at 8 o'clock and you will see the market in all i's giory.” jihis ** glory” can hardly be described, so as to convey a very just conception of this babel- dom of nationalities, confusion of tongues and magniticence of display to anyone who has not been an ear and eye witness on the spot, lt is ail confusion in the best order. Itis all noise, with a thousand meanings well urder- ‘stood by the purse-bearing crowds upon crowds, and it is the feed store of a city that dispenses its loads of innumer- able edibles for the Sunday dining tables jot a feeding people. Itis the grand rendez- ‘vous of all who cater to appetites, and make selections for 1ich and poor, without distine- ,tion of color or race. I should not, however, have called this the rendezvous of all, for really it is only the chiif market. Then, ‘there are markets everywhere of lesser note, ‘and all of them, like a hive ef bees in swarm- ing time, are alive every Sunday with restless | haste, coming or going, or swarming about in search of a Sunday supply of provisions, be- fore church time. It is a natural enquiry by the stranger, who realizes how vast must be the supply to stock these Sunday marts, and I will suppose your readers ‘‘want to know,” so I will, as briefly as possible, try to answer that question. | The stalis in the meat markets are mostly eceupied by Gascon butchers from France, and the meat sold is principslly Texan, and is sold at an average of say a bit (12) cents) a pound. IJtisin this section of the French market that megro women, offer you ‘* pra- tines,” made of sugar and pecan nuts, “* cal- las,” asvft doughnut made of rive, and ‘* pain K. D. ©. is Guaraniced. liaise patate,” which is cold pudding made of sweet potatoes and yams. The fruit market ie triangular in shape, and is devoted to fruit end poultry. Bananes do not tipen in New Orleans, but arrive from the Islends of the Gulf of Mexico. Oranges and figs grow to perfection, however, and the markets are sometimes so glutted that three or four can be got fora cent. The orange season is from Octuber to January, but at the early part of the season they ‘“ cost money.” Fine ones range just now from 50 to 75 cents per dozen. The vegetable markets are devoted to groceries, flowers and fruits, as well as vege- tables. My enquiries respecting the productiveness of the soil reveals the fact that four crops of even corn, can be grown with profit each year. Strawberries, green peas, and other early fruits and vegetables are sold here in December and January. The fish market, however, particularly inter- ested me. Onits white marble tables, are seen bril'iant red-snappers, with large coral fins, the Spanish mackeral and the costly pompen’, o silered by gourmets, the most delicate heh that swims in any waters. What is cailed the shrimp here is larger thau the Englich prason, and very abundant but not nearly 89 delicate. Fine sea trout are taken here, but your northern specimens beat them. A clase of pecple here, mostly Italians but bat some Span sh, and called **Degoes” con- trol the importation and disposal of all marketable fish in New Orleans, i have just procured yesterday’s Times— Democrats. I wanted to see what the list of advertised amusemeuts were for Sunday Nov. 30), There are two columns of ‘it—ian the wuaual style of thse cis played advertisements: The grand opera house, the academy of music, the St, Charies Theatre, an extra academy of music, the avenue theatre, the French opera house, and the *“‘U, A. O. D.” order—all offer their special Sunday programmes, and it can easily be guessed what else goes on in the many cluv houses, and more private places of entertainment every Sunday. By the by, I saw a little bit of Jegal news in another part which wouod up as follows: ‘This is the first time a suit has been filed on a Sunday, under the law of 1890 permitting snits for executory process and summary process to be served on the Sabbath.” It is evident therefo.e, that the interpretation of the 27th verse of the 2od chapter of the Holy Jospel of St. Mark, is different here to what it is in the Royal Province of P. E. L C. B. Bacster. —— Argyic Shore Notes. The farmers here are complaining of @ rot among their potatoes.

A recent Winnipeg despatch says: West Jones, brother-in-law of Birchall, lived in Winnipeg in 1882, and going into the farm pupil business returned here from England in 1886, accompanied by a settler named Davies and two pupi's.
