London, with all the gloomy vastness of her docks and her "river of the ten thousand masts,": can offer no spectacle of traffic so pictu? resquely attractive and so varied in its attraction. In the centre of this enormous crescent! line of wharves and piers lie the great Sugar and Cotton Landings, with their millions of Ions of freight newly un? shipped, their swarms of swarthy steve? dores, their innumerable wagons and i beasts of burden. Above the line of depot and storehouse roofs, stretching j southward, rises the rolling smoke of the cotton press furo aces. Facing the Sugar Landing, Btretching northward, extend ~a line of immense sugar sheds, with roofs picturesquely peaked, Sierrawise. Be? low, along the wooden levee, a hundred river boats hire landed without jostling, and the smoky breath of innumerable chimneys floats, upward-eddying, into tha.overarching blue. Here ope sees a comely steamer from the Ohio lying at the landing, 8 till panting, after its long ran of a ?ouaa^&mUes; there a rast Mississippi boa*tiies ..groaning, with her cargo of 7,000 bales; awaiting relief by a legion of 'longShoresmen. At intervals other vessels arrrve, some like mountains of floating cotton, their white sides hid? den by brown ramparts of bales built up to the smoke-stacks, some deeply freight? ed with the sweet produce or the cane fields. Black tugs rush noisily hither ant* thither, like ugly Water goblins seek? ing strong work to do; and brightly painted luggers, from the lower coat u? from the oyster beds and the fruit tree groves?skim over the wrinkled water, some bearing fragrant freight of golden oranges, and pomegranates, and bananas, richly ripe; some bringing fishy dainties from the sea. Ocean steamers are rest? ing their leviathan side at the Southern piers, and either way, along the far carv? ing hues of wharves, deep-sea ships lie silently marshalled, their pale wings folded in motionless rest. There are barks and brigs, schooners and brigan tines, frigates and merchantmen, of all tonnages?ships of light and graceful build, from the Spanish Main; deep bellied steamers, with East Indian names, that have been to Calcutta and Bombay: strong-bodied vessels from Norway and all the Scandinavian ports; tight-looking packets from the English ports; traders under German, Dutch, Italian, French and Spanish flags; barks from the Med? iterranean; shapely crafts from West Indian harbors. They seem envoys of the world's commerce an sunny session at the Gate of the Tropics I Look either way along the river with a strong glass 1 ?the fringe of masts and yards appears infinitely extended; the distant spars become blended together in a darkly out? lined thicket of sharply-pointed strokes and thread, cutting the blue at all angles; further and farther yet, the fringe seems but a frioge of needle points and floe Cobweb lines; and, at last, only the points remain visible, the lines having wholly vanished. It is not an easy thing to describe one's irst impression of New Orleans; for while it actually resembles no other city upon tha face of the earth, yet it recalls ?{ague memories of ? hundred cities. It owns suggestions of towns in Italy, and j in Spain, of cities in England and in j Germany, of seaports in the Mediterra? nean, and of seaports in the tropics. Cabal street, with its grand breadth and imposing facades, gives one recollections of London and Oxford street and Regent street; there are memories of Havre and Marseilles to be obtained from the Old French Quarters; there are buildings in Jackson Square which remind one of Spanish-American travel. I fancy that the power of fascination which New Or? leans exercises upo-i foreigners is due no less to this peculiar characteristic than to the tropical beauty of the city itself. Whencesoever the traveller may have come, he may find in the Crescent City some memory of his home?some recol? lection of his Fatherland?some remem? brance of something he loves. New Orleans is especially a city of verandas, piazzas, porches and balconies; and the stranger is liable to be impressed with this fact immediately upon leaving the. levee. All the streets in the business portion of the city are shaded with'broad giazzas of wood,and. iron, which cover j le whole sidewalk; and on the main streets, such as Canal, aide awnings of canvas are used, so that during the hot: test portion of the day the sun cannot cause, discomfort to pedestrians from any possible direction. The front and also the back windows of most private houses have balconies at every story up to the roof; and in the old French quarter these are often multipled and superim? posed in the most picturesque way; you see them right under the angle of gable ends, jutting out from queer corners, in a fashion half mediaeval. They are often hung with large pieces of cloth or carpet, or stuffs brightly dyed, especially above the French dry goods' stores; and thus draped the effect is quite odd and pleas? ing. I find much' to gratify an artist's eve in this quaint, curious, crooked French quarter, with its narrow streets and its houses painted in light tints of yellow, green, and sometimes even in blue.' Neutral tints are common; but there are a great many buildings that cannot have been painted for years, and which look neglected and dilapidated as weir as antiquated. Solid wooden shut? ters, pointed a bright grass-green, and relieved by walls painted chocolate color, or tinted yellow have a pretty effect, and suggest many memories of old France. Few houses in the quarter are without them. . A stranger cannot avoid being also im-, pressed with the solid character of the. streets here throughout the business por? tion of, the city. They are raised like causeways, and are usually either level with the sidewalks or above them, being separated from the curb by gutters of great depth and breadth. The street lavement consists mostly of square blocks '"of stone set diamond wise; and this pavement is almost everlasting. It is very handsome and clean looking, and I am told that no other pavement can resist the wear and tear of the cotton traffic or the undermining effect of the rains which loosen bowlders and roll them from their beds. Most of the finer public .buildings must have been erected at . a time when ex? pense was the least consideration in the construction of an edifice. They are generously and beautifully built; yet it is sad to see-that'many of them ans fall? ing into decay. Especially is this the case in regard to the old St. Louis Hotel ?now the State House?with its splen- j did dome, frescoed by Casanova, and its grand halls.' To repair it would now re? quire an outlay of hundreds of thousands. It has been outraged in a manner worthy of Vandals; soldiers have been barrack ed in it; mold and damp have written prophecies of ruin within, it, Hither it was that'the great planters of the Sonth dwelt in the old days when they'visited New Orleans, and under their rich pat? ronage the hotel prospered well, till the war swept away their wealth, and for a .time at least ruined New Orleans. I doubt if any of the great, hotels here are .now doing Well. ' The St. Charles, with its noble Greek facade, is the handsomest of these. From the entrance of the rotunda looking out? ward and upward at the vast Corinthian columns, with their snowy fluted shafts and rich capitals, their antique lines of beauty, their harmonious relation to each other, the* sight is magnificent I find a number of noble Greek facades in the city; the City Hall, the Methodist Church, on Carondelet street, and other structures I might name, are beautiful, and seem to illumine the streets with their white splendor. This elegant, gra | cious architecture appears adapted to i this sky and this sunny clime; and, in " deed it was under almost such a sky and I such a Btm that, the Greek architecture was born. But, after all, the glory of the city is in her Southern homes and gardens. I cannot do justice to their beauty. The streets broaden there; the side-paths: are bordered with verdant sod as soft and thick as velvet,' and overshadowed with magnolias; the houses, mostly built in Renaissance style, are embowered in fruit-bearing trees and evergreen gardens, where statues and fountains gleam through thick shrubbery, cunningly trimmed into fantastic forms. Orange and fig trees; bananas and palms; mag? nolias and myrtles; cypresses and ce i dare; broad leaved, monstrous-flowering plants in antique urns; herbs with leaves shaped like ancient Greek sword-blades, j and edged with yellow; shrubs exotically 1 luxuriant, bearing blossoms of curious forms and equatorial brilliancy of color; and flowers so rich of hue, so sweet, so fragrant, that they vary the varied green with a thousand tints, and make the ? tepid air odorous with drowsy perfume. I And yon can walk through this paradise lour after hour, mile after mile; and the air only becomes yet more fragrant and the orange trees more heavily freighted with golden fruit, and the gardens more and more beautiful as you proceed south? wardly. Color and light and bright contrasts? those warmly picturesque effects which artists seek to study in- tropical climes? may be studied m perfection at the French Market The markets of London are less brightly clean and neatly, ar [ ranged ;? the markets of Paris are less picturesque. It consists of a succession of huge buildings, extending for nearly a quarter of a mile, and covering an erea of about four squares. Oh, the contrasts of color, the tropical picturesqueness of a morning market scene here, the seduc? tiveness of the succulent fruits, the bril? liancy of the brightly dyed stuffs in the hosiery and notion bo'tbs; the truly French taste exhibited in the arrange? ments of vegetables and fowls and fruits and fish; the costumes of the quadroon girls; the Indian squaw selling droll trinket*; the blue jackets from the ships of all nations; the red-sh irt-ed fishermen from the luggers; the Spaniards, Mexi? cans, Italians, Englishmen, Portuguese, Greeks, Frenchmen, Acadians, Creoles I One may Bee almost everything, and buy almost anything in the French market; and he must have a hard heart or an emp? ty pocket who can always withstand the softly syllabled request of some bright eyed Creole girl to buy something that he does not want. You never smell an unpleasant ordor in the French market; there is nothing to offend the nostrils, nothing to displease the eye. You inhale the fragrance of fruits and flowers!?you breathe the odor of delicious coffee from the lunch booths. What coffee it is, too?Oriental in strength and fragrance, but clear as wine. Oranges are selling at ten cents a dozen; bananas "five for a picayune;" and mountains of them are coming in from the Picayune landing, where all tho loggers lie. Here are huge fruits that resemble oranges, but are nearly eight inches in diameter*; pomegranates piled up in blushing pyramids; red bananas from Spanish America arranged in towers; figs, ripe and green; fresh dates; pale green grapes in giant clusters; apples rosy enough to have tempted rrsy pJve; citrons and lemons, cxjcoanute and pecans and pineapples; and strange looking fruits peculiar to the tropica. Here are flowers of a hundred kinds, in pots, in-boxes, in nosegays, in boquets, in bunches for the button-bole. Here are boots and shoes, silks and muslins, handkerchiefs and hosiery, cutlery and delf-ware. porcelain and crockery, tin ware ana plated ware, dry goods of all varieties, and shirts of all dyes. I can? not attempt to give any idea of the vege? table market, with its green and brown and purplish and ruddy mountains of fresh stock, or the admirably clean meat market, with the polite French butchers in white caps and aprons; or the bread stalls, where are piled up rolls as white as milk and sweet as cream ; or the poul? try market, with its questionable luxu? ries. The fish market has a glass roof, and all the rainbow tints of the fresh fish come out well on a bright day. Here are hills of shrimps and pyramids of oysters, and enormous baskets of live crabs, wherein hideous .claw-battles are incessant. But one nun not see, much less describe, all the sights of the French market in a month. It in a perpetual exhibition of industry?a museum of tbe curiosities of marketing. -*s -- ? CHANDLER'S CHARGES. Major Borke Tells What Chandler & Co. . Wanted and What Grant and Hayes Promised?Improbabllty of a Renewal of the Electoral Struggle. New Orleans, Dec. 27,1877. Major E. A. Burke, one of the most prominent Conservatives in the State, who engineered the State count |nd rep? resented the Nicholts government' in Washington last winter, upon being in? terviewed in reference to Chandler's let? ter has stated that the Republican states? men who visited Louisiana-immediately after the election undoubtedly gave Packard, Kellogg and the returning board strong guarantees that the Packard government would be sustained by the administration if the State should - be counted for Hayes, and it would not be difficult to prove the times and places where such assurances were given and the parties to the same. Our State Central Committee wttein possession of some of Mr. Chandler's guarantees to the same effect, which were, I think, delivered to Mr. David: Dudley Field's commission in Washing? ton. All these gentlemen and Mr. Chandler wore aware of tbe fact that some of these very statesmen, together with the principal leaders of the Repub? lican party, recognized the impossibility of keeping these guarantees, and whether they found out that Mr. Hayes could not be brought to sustain their assurances or whether the fear of a defeat of the count instigated them, it is certain that the most Dinding guarantees were given by the leaders of the Republican party that Mr. Hayes would, if inaugurated, restore the South to local self-government, as indicated in his letter of acceptance, and adopt a policy of justice and conciliation instead of military interference and bay? onet rule. - These guarantees were known to every Republican Senator, Representative and public mau in Washington before the electoral court was completed, and they became parties, to it by their silence and acquiescence. General Grant had said tbe sentiment of the country was clearly against the further use of troops in up? holding State governments, and That, in his opinion, the Nichoils government should' stand and would stand, because it was supported by the best elements of the State, and he authorized me to say that he wished his views to be made known. Grant followed that declaration by an assurance that the troops would be withdrawn, and informed me that he would say so to Kellogg and Darrell, who were then in the next room. He discussed with myself and others the de? tails under which we guaranteed no vio? lence. Nichoils was to issue, and did issue, with Grant's approval, a proclama? tion to re-assure the colored men and Republicans. That such an order was not received by General Augur can best be answered by Mr.. Chan-Her and tbe hundreds of Republicans who besieged the White House and claims' that such action before the inauguration would en? danger the Presidency. No doubt Mr. Chandler and many of his associates thought that Hayes would join them in violation of the guarantees which the Republican party was eager to give when the Presidency was in peril; but I say, advisedly, that the South did not fear Hayes, as it appears we had a higher opinion of his truthfulness, hon? esty and patriotism than his former sup? porters. We did fear the -remorseless and vindictive power of the Republican 1 party leaders, like Mr. Chandler, whose malignity is written in bold letters in every campaign in this State since 1870. Louisiana sought simply to know if the leaders would let Hayes alone. If any . bargains were made the Republican party leaders, so recognized theu by the whole country, were the parties to them. If , any bargains were made by Mr. Hayes I never heard of them. i As to tbe re-opening of the Presiden? tial issue we consider it closed. The old combination between Senator Conkling and Democratic Senators, which offered to Louisiana and the country a defeat of the electoral count and a new election f under Conkling, may be revived with a view of opening the electoral question, : but 1 think it impossible. Small Feet.?For tho sake of having small feet, many an otherwise sensible woman will martyrize herself by pinch | ing those unlucky members of the body into boots a size too small. As a natural and necessary result of such pinching con? finement, the foot becomes deformed, and ; larger than it would naturally grow with enlarged joints, and toes turned from a 1 line parallel with the foot, to say nothing of the troublesome corns, so annoying and crippling to a large class of young wo? men. The'worst results of this crippling custom of wearing small and narrow boots is felt by children, when allowed to out? grow their boots. It is poor economy to allow the young to wear boots when the feet have become too large for them, since deformity of the feet is easily pro? duced at this time. When the boot is' too short and the beel too high, the in? growing of tbe nails is a perfectly natu? ral result. Children will have sufficient ills to contend with without this crippling from deformed feet, the most prominent -cause of which is small and badly fitting boots and shoes. Flying by Balloon.?The balloon is a grand drifting machine, and by aid of the trade winds could reach almost any part of the globe; but air navigation, in the seientfic sense, will be accomplished finally on the bird principal. Letters I have recently received from various parts of Europe convince methat tbe solving of the problem is not far off. A number of scientfic aeronauts have written me concerning a flying machine now being Jerfected by a distinguished scientist iu aris which will doubtless be able to carry cargoes in any direction and any distance. It is a mere matter of time in mechanical progress. Why should not man fly as well as the eagle, the bat, the squirrel; even the fish essay this mode of locomotion for 200 or 800 yards? While talking on the subject of the construction of balloons, he said: " Balloons may be made of boiler iron if built large enough. You know it is the battle of cubes and surfaces. When the surfaces is doubled the cube is quadrupled, and a balloon of 400 feet diameter of copper boiler plate will lift up a man-of-war ship and sail away with it. With such a balloon stocked with bombs and othrr destructive munitions of war. think what consterna? tion could be carried into a besieged camp. But the mission of tbe balloon will be more for scientific exploration. That overshadowing science called meteorol? ogy will yet provide its definition in the use of the balloon."?Prof. Wise.
