A CREOLE MARKET. The "Marquli" Coffee Mob' Spletul Coon Contagious "Dixie.' It has been much the fashion latelv to remark, in a tone of intense fatigue", that the French market has been vastly overdone. It is consoling to reflect, in this connection, with one's pen poised for furhther perpetration, that the same languid utterance is in variably upon the lips of socioty when any leautiiul or marvelous, or enter taining thing is under discussion, iiuiu me luammotu uave to the coli seum. I will spare you our emotions, but nothing else. "First," said Theophila, "to tho Marquis for coffee." We entered the nearest broad roofed shed and pandemonium. Ab solutely the only human creatures not shouting, singing, beckoning and bargaining, were the half-dozen STOI.II) CHOCTAW SQUAWS That squatted on the pavements in the sun, with their baskets of gumbo iilce and other herbs. They were positively non-committal uion every subject, especially that so dear to or- uuiary iiuiuanuy nseii. mere they sat and shook their brown old faces, half hid in great masses of black hair and said not a word at all. But for Indian taciturnity, Creole volubility niauc ampie amenus. "(Jet down out o' dat!" cried a Da:o game dealer wildly to a dead rabbit placed conspicuously on a bar above his stall, to the vast amuse ment of the lookers-on. The fellow worked himself into a perfect storm of passion, and at every fresh invec tive the crowd around him grew larger and more appreciative. At the same stall hung two skinned ani mals of ghastly appearance and hor rible grinning teeth. "Wild cat," said the dealer in response to my in quiry. "To eat!" in horified amaze from Theophila. "Yah, good eatin' fo de Chinee!" he answered, with the inevitable shrug and a quick glance of impatience at our unprofit able curiositv. These came stalls and their swarthy, red-shirted proprietors make magnificent studies. Kabbits in hundreds, woodcock in festoons, Spanish snipe, blackbird?, "kill- allee," teal, "fine nice chicken turkee geese!" even cranes, their great white wings and long legs dabbled in gore, are here exposed for the gastronomic temptation of the multitude. "What's this?" I demanded of an old dame in a red sunbonnet, ginger ly poking a very hairv, defunct ani mal with my parasol, "a rat?" "Mais, no'n!" she returned iratelv, "if ever you see de tail rat vou know vary well dat is no rat. Dat'is coon mos' splendid coon." The only dous in New Orleans, to all appearances, hang about these stalls, and the red fascinations of these butchers. They are sleek, meek, insinuating brutes, and readilv accept the slightest suggestion of iii trusiveness. The lish market is a marvel of glancing color. Great heaps of shrimps, snappers, catfish, shecpshead, blue and brown intri cacies of crab baskets, the gaslight flashing uion the scales with the most bewildering effect. And the flower stands, each with its comelv proprietress, who flirts in the mos't undisguised manner with every buyer of a button hole adornment. Dewv violets, waxen camellias, starry jas mine and the royal magnolia are among her fragrant wares. And she is everywhere the poetry of the place. Her bent old grandmother presides over tho vegetable stand near by, teeming with lettuce, spinach, parsley, a riot of greenery. Listen to the cries, beseeching, ex postulating, argumentative, chant ing: "Get 'em for no monev" two bits" "Calas, cal onlv a nickel!" "Banan' banan' la bella banan!' Beautiful banan', only five five cents de noz!" "Achetcz ici au bon marche?" and a long undertone of unintelligible jargon, pierced bv tho wailing song of a brightly tnrbaned little gypsy with a face of abject mis ery, the strains of many hand-organs and the contagious "Dixie" of a blind old negro fiddler. Stands of plaster casts, of cocoanuts, oranges in golden piles, figs on sticks, plates of peas, limburgcr cheese, are here with their energetic proprietors, whose faces accurately photograph the success of the morning. The sparkle and mo bility of the dark-skinned Spaniard whose "banan' " have sold wll i only matched by the acute dispair of his unsuccessful compatriot. THE "MAKQl'IS," When we reach him at last, is among the most radiant. Let who will dis pute the title accorded him bv these co-exiles of his for twenty years, I for one am entirely disposed to ac cord it and all the honors and digni ties thereto pertaining. A portly old fellow, white-haired, straight-nosed, black-browed, clad in the most spot less linen, dark blue coat and fawn colored trousers. And the coffee served to us with four-and-twenty furclad Northerners all in a row, a position strongly suggestive of tha unhappy blackbirds of nursery fame was unspeakable. For the sake of the experience wo imbibed again, that time taking tho dark brown in spiration from the wrinkled hand of another characteristic pillar of the market, an old Creole uarkv woman who embodied activity and crowned it with a smile. Her zig-zag mouth strayed happily across her face, an ample nose flattened down over it, but her wonderful soft dark eyes, lighted with an irrepressiblejjaiejy, and her blue shawl and knotted tur ! ban danced with eager service, while 1 soft Creole syllables fell thick and I fast. The gas jet overhead flared i across a marvelous chromo. the pride of her heart, illustrating the intrepid ity 01 a couple ot sanguinary mill taires in blue and red, conjointly dis secting an unfortunate prostrateman. "Ah, ects ees beautiful ; don't you tink?" she exclaimed rapturously, seeing me tabulate her and her sur roundings, and imagining, poor soul, that I chronicled my impressions of her masterpiece. We strolled leisurely out I defy anybody to hurry in Louisiana through the tinning crowd of gaily turbaned Dago women, soft-eyed', bard-mouthed Creoles, black-browed Spainiards, voluble "Gascon" butch ers, oratorical hucksters of all sort's -nd a large mixture of ficsh faced commenting Northerners, and saun tercd back along the great cotton levee. The I.:uiRiia;;e of r,ovo. "Mister .Johnsing, I want ter con fide a great secret to ver." "What is it, Pete?" "I'Be got a notion ter ask Swav back Lucy ter marry me." "uo you think she reciprocates your affection?" "What did yer say she did?" "Do you thiuk she loves vou as much as you do her?" "Dat's what I 'spicions." "Did she tell you so?" "No, but shemout iess as well hab told me so. When she was coin' tru' de yard 1 punched her wid a pitch fork, and she said: 'G'way, yer black nigger, 1 doan want ter hab ver about me.' 1 tells yer, Mister John sing, dat when a woman tells yer to go 'way she wants yer ter stay right dar. De' am de contrari'est critters in the world." "So you think that is a symptom of love, do you?" "I does, sab, for a fac'." Shortly afterward another negro woman heard Swayback Lucy sing ing away for dear life in the vard as happy as a bird. "What's de matter wid vou?" "I'll tell yer, Aunt Sukey, I be lieve Pete Jackson wants tef marrv me." "Has he done tole you so?" "No but he mout jess well hab tole me so. He punched me wid tier pitched fork. I tells yer dat means sumfin. llr Choice of tliu Apostles. "And so you've named your babv, have vou?" "Oh, yes." "What is it you call him?" "Thomas Muscovy Marlin Luthei Benson." "The poor little toad! Why did you load it down with so much name?" "Well, it seemed as though I couldn't slight my own brother, and a niMML'u upon Aiiiscovv on 111s ac count." "But how about Martin Luther? ton wasn't under anv obligations to him." "No, but my husband was de termined that lie must be named after one of the apostles, and Martin was mv choice of the lot." They were havin a heated argil- nie-it. He said: "Stop your quarreling think we are crazy."

There is something wrong in Con necticut. Three men were recently convicted in that State of embezzling the funds of a bank, and sentenced to hard labor in the State's prison for four years. When the courts become so far lost to a sense of propriety as to convict rich embezzlers, it is time for the wealthy to look about them and see where they stand. If this kind of thing becomes epidemic the iirst thing we know it may become as much of an offence to steal a mil lion dollars as it is to filch a loaf of bread, and have it meet with as severe punishment.
