Tlio great day of the anto-Lenten revel never breaks upon a sleeping city, and New Orleans was early astir, with that unique bnza and flurry which so exceed buzz and flurry elsewhere, when once your Creole population lies get wide awake. And nothing wa..^s her so very wide as the carnival festa. This one, after long abstinence, was peculiarly exciting; and far west into the Americanized city, away east through quaint old Frcnchtown, carnival echoes rang and carnival sights greeted the eye ou every side. The entire population, home and tran sient, seemed to have beaten the sun out of bed, and before he wiped the misfe from his forehead maskers thronged the streets in ante-bellnm number and va riety. For the carnival was on in all its general aspects, if not witli all that lav ish expenditure of taste and money which makes the displays of the Mystick Krewe of Comus nnique in brilliance and in beamy throughout the world. Public masques, singly and in groups, on foot or mounted in saddle or vehicle, would prevail; masquerade balls of ev ery grade, from decorous danco to reck less romp, would lie field, and universal levity of public revel, strangely re strained by influence of habit and blithe but rarely vicious temperament, on the hither aide of license, would sway the hours from mom Ui.* midnight. But the lirst stroke of 1?. iu warning of Ash Wednesday, would drop the mask from sinner and saint alike, sending all to their knees for a penitential season of ths flood's lioration, with Sundays thrown in pour lagniappe, as the Creole ssith. And, to crown the whole, tho Mystick Krewe would give its first pageant through tho streets in five long, somber years. Since Its mysterious origin, in 1857, that venerable lodge of annually given ent tion and delight to tng thousands, in a series of The Ktcv'c was hominy. glories of the carnival as well, and the Krewe was but a brilliant memory to many—an eagerly expected novelty to some. Thai singular society, so secret in its membership and methods, yet so benef icent end gracious in its results, was jiopnlarly surmised to embrace the fash ion and highest culture of the Crescent City, as it surely did her wealtti and her artistic sense. But they who composed it had lost riches, comrades, all save honor, in the stressand struggle of those hitter years: and they had not chosen “to make a Roman holiday” with the grass yet ungrowu on graves of kith and kin. indeed, to the present day those tasteful pictured emblems sent to their elect in many a distant city have borne blank circles with those years, from 1861 to 1866, when the only revel was the red one dedicated tu Mars. But once again the great Krewe was to crown the carnival with one of its glittering pageants: and round that event centered the keenest and most curious anticipation of all the holiday. For. mysterious in all things, these nnique mystic societies of the chief cities never advance the slightest hint of what that subject theme may be which they ever illustrate with a tact and tiiste and brilliance that can he appreciated only by being seen. But meantime th; true carnival spirit ruled tlie hours. Grotesque costumes of every nationality known, of many de signs quite unknown; bizarre monstros ities or cleverly imitated shapes of b-usts. birds and even fishes, glittering armors and cheap dominoes wore mot ou every hand. Some went to their frolic singly, some in pairs or in groups of varying size. Most were ou foot, but many a gallant cavalier curveted along, while vehicles of every sort, some richly decorated, bore merry maskers, all for getting the grim past *n the absorbing frolic of the present. Sidewalks everywhere were crowded early in the day, and from many a bal cony and window—notably in the less pretentious residences of the American city—peered piquant, pretty faces, in tent on tho now novel revel and eager to lose no jot of it all tho long day. To these occasional cavaliers, more ambi tions than their pedestrian co-maskers and habited in best regality of cotton velvet and glittering tinsel, waved guunt- leted hands, checking their steeds long enough to toss flowers or confetti at the fair ones. And they would in turn re ceive perhaps a flower—more probably* a tissue paper cartridge loaded with flour or a torpedo to explode before the horse's nose. Restaurants, cafes anil wine shops threw wide tiieir doors, receiving liberal patronage, for, numerous ns were the maskers, tenfold greater was their al fresco audience. The i ntiro (xipnla ion seemed turned into thesirccts, and at any unusual squeak of tin horns, or louder heat of drums, patrons of cafes would rush to the doors, fork in hand and months full, to lose no point of passing fun. But of all lookers on none approached for wide eyed wonder and absorbed curi osity the federal soldiers of the city gar rison. Composed of almost every nation ality and coming from every city of the Union, save those where mummery was bom almost with the century, tins pub lic masquerade was to them inexplicable as interesting. And very wistfully they gazed, too; for the spirit of universal mummery has in it strung infection, and they could not yield to it. Strict orders Lad been issued I hat no soldier should mask, or disguise his uniform, under any pretext, and only officers olf duty were permitted that privilege, after formal re port of intention to their commanders. The general was a true soldier, and he justly realized the serious results possible to chance from a mixture of differing and discordant elements, under the tempta tions and novel conditions of the incog nito. “By Jove! the general's head is level as possible ou all matters of discipline,” our irreprc.-oible major of the quartermaster's department enunciated to a group of dis guised officers in Gen. Everett’s garden about nooa. The major had removed his ample mask, but ruefully regarded its flattened nose, as he tiirew b ock the hood of a flaring red domino. “Why, Arnold, suppose a lot of ignorant soldiers had been caught, as we were, under that balcony on Rampart street!” “I don't think the results would have been battle, murder and sudden death,” laughed the rdd-de-camp, mopping his brow, after removing his mask. “But you should have seen the major bear himself, general. Ho ii ns great in pilot ing green hands through carnival as he is at ordering a breakfast.” “Oh, I'm an old masker," answered the major, complacently. “When I was a brevet at Fort Pike, in the forties, I used to run down here and attend the masked balls at the old Hotel St. Louis! Ah, my boy, those were days! But that was hot work under the balcony." “Rather," put in the junior aid. •‘Why, general, the major led a charge on a bevy of the pretFest girls and l»om barded them till our flowers were gone. They returned the fire with flour car tridges and torpedoes, and when we turned to retreat a crowd of a dozen har lequins charged us with bladder clubs and routed us utterly.” “It was hot!” grumbled the major. “Look at tho nose of that mask, sir! And I believe those cartridges had pep per in them. One of the cursed things got down my back, and it is tingling now.” “Well, I’ve had enough of the fun," said Col. Barnes dryly, wriggling out of a long gray domino. “I’ve read of car nivals for years: but 1 never expected to fly about in a mask and pelt strange young women with flowers. Hang it! if Mrs. Barnes gets hold of the story!” •‘Pshaw, man!” retorted the major, •‘do not desert us. We've only seen the beginning of the fun yet. And, Bale, are you not going in for a trial?” “Hardly in that way, major." Everett answered! “It is a trifle infra dig. to ride steeple chases, and I may as well iet masking alone. But really I believe 1 enjoy the day better as a looker on. Like Barnes, I was most eager to see a Creole carnival; but the reality exceeds any fantastic thing I had imagined." “Just wait till to-night," the major “If the day interests you the Krewe will delight you. And halls! They are something only had better just to see ■ flow It I 1 may take a turn among the mask ers this evening," Bale answered. “Late to-niftht. after the loigeaut. I join the generals party and take the ladies to the opera house and to the Krewe ImJI.” “Toujours perdrix!' laughed tlw ma jor. “Always the ladies!” Everett made no answer, and Arnold suggested that time was passing, and asked the major if he was rested. “Like a giant refreshed,” cried the vet eran. my nose! Well, this will have to da We'll meet here st 3. Bale, and up that Cliquot 1 lost to Barnes on your con founded water jump. But I tell you, my dear boy, I'd rather pay for wine enough to till that ditch tlmu have had Johnnie Crapaud beat yon!" “I know it!” Dale answered frankly, grasping the major's not over clean hand. -“But the horse won the race— not I. Come, Barnes, well follow these revelers at a distance and not loee the sights ontside." “That is a magnificent animal of yours, general.” Col. Baines said, as they fol lowed the maskers to the gate. "Singular name yon gave him, though.” “Oh, that was the Point name for u:y chum,” Dale answered. “The class called us David and Jonathan, and the yearling colt was a graduation present from my mother. 1 named him after Latour, and I have always been glad of it when I mounted him for a fight” “ Was your friend killed?" asked the colonel, who was not sentimental. "No, thank God!" Bale answered earnestly. "I heard yesterday that he was safe and well, and he outranked me wlien his side lost.” “He was a rebel?" Barnes queried, in surprise. “He was a major general in the Con federate army,” Everett replied, with emphasis. Barnes made no answer. He was, ns he described himself, “Cape Cod born,” and he had his prejudices, underscored by u Minie ball. But he was talking to his ranking officer, and a jiassing rush of maskers changed the subject apro pos. The carnival was at its acme now. Even greater crowds than before streamed down the cross streets and overflowed into Caurd. Costumes of every shape and color mingled with the every day dress, makiugashifting kaleid oscope in the bright sanshine, and over the tramp of many feet, and the shrill treble assumed for better disguise of the maskers, floated constant, happy laugh ter. Strolling along the two Federal officers Beep silence f-11 upon the in thousands; every eye strained to call'll the first hint of the cunningly hidden | theme of the night's display. Then j gradually through the rosy cloud were j seen the rich and stalely forms, in an tique guise, marshaling the mystic host, and next transparencies that told its subject theme to be “Past, Present and Future." Nearer, slow moving, came the brill- >»nt and unique pageant, incarnating Give me another uuutk! Bind up thought through deft design of form “ 11 '*' and color, lit by a thousand bright re flectors, toned to softer glow by colored fires. The Past was typified by imposing figures of war, destruction, conflagra tion, want, grief and terror—each a chapter of the moving epic, varying in suggestive sliape, and each made clearer by congenial forms attendant. All were in classic pose and richly draped, with strict adherence to best models of an tique art. And slow they ]>assed, be tween the silent masses, all delighted with the glitter and tho glory of the show, all stilled by memory of the re cent past from which it drew its being. Then came The Present, more modern in conception, but allegoric still—per sonified by industry, commerce, agri culture, science, art and history.

If you are tired out from over-work and close coultuement, lake came in eight of the Clay statue. Around j so attempting, could so succeed', it a huge throng had collected. Colonels of several regiments had ordered their bands to different points to aid the pub lic holiday; and the magnificent one of the Ninety-sixth infantry was giving a concert here. Every age and color were* seen in the unmasked faces—the ebon, shiny skin of the negro, the swart Diego, and the bright lemon skin of the quad roon. Old, crumpled faced French women led chubby children along; the fresh skinned Irish woman dandled her babe in vigorous arms; while pale, fair octoroons, tastefully and quietly dressed, leaned on tho arms of dandy young men why might have passed for club men on Broadway, or petits creves on the Champs Elysees. Masker* here, as every where, in numbers; and a goodly sprink ling of bluejackets dotted the crowd, the faces of their wearers ever showing amused interest. The band was playing a popular waltz, the heads and feet of the music loving natives keeping time. And here and there, in the limited sDace. fantastic dancers whirled in grotesque measure, aided by the Harlequin or Pirerot dresses they wore. “A womVrfal people, these," Everett said, quietly. “Who wcuid think, to walk these streets to-dny, that this pop ulation was just rising from the set back of a terrible defeat? Who could dream of the material loss it has suffered—of the agony and susp^se endured—of the hopes that are ashes and tho future that is—wliat?” "The mercurial temperament,” Barnes answered, again from far Cape Cod “They are French, and a Frenchman would dance on his grandmother's grave. I roe nothing very wonderful, general, in tiieir en joying the first holiday they have had since the obsequies.” “People that react as X have noticed these southerners do,” Dale answered, “have loo much elasticity to be conquer ed. Wo have beaten them, but they will teach ns a great lesson yet in their conduct under defeat. I don't think yon appreciate them, Barnes." “Perhaps I do not,” tho other answered dryly. “I have no friends in the Con federate army.” Jnst then the band broke into a med ley of national airs. The “MarseilKise" swelled out, blending into “God Save the Queen;” that in turn losing itself in the new “Wacht am Rhein.” Suddenly, picked up by the piccolo, “Dixie”—the tune adopted by Abraham Lincoln— shrilled out loud and clear. In a second, even before the crowd caught the infec tious thrill, the blue coated boys gave voice, and then came cheers and cries from every throat in the crowd to al most drown the music. Again “Dixie” swelled lend and clear; again the wild applause rang out, dying as the music softened and almost ceased, only to rise loud and defiant as “Yankee Doodle” trotted in upon his unmusical “little pony." This time the crowd needed no cue, the stilling voices rising into a roar louder if possible than before, and sus tained nutil the brief strain died out. Again the cries swelled out, aided by hands and feet and shout of “Bis!" “En core!” and tho rival battle pieces had to be played again and again. Everett slipped bis arm into the colo nel's as they turned away. “No, you do uot understand these people. Neither does our general, I fear. If we will let it be so the war is over!” As night fell the carniv;*] was in full blast, for all recalled that at the first stroke of midnight masks must be tossed aside and theoretic sackcloth replace the motley. Through the dusk many hued cos tumes tilled the eye with color; the high, squeaking treble of maskers’ disguise piped above music, laughter and the om nipresent tin horn; old time acenes of peace were re-enacted in the very -enter of warlike occupation, and the evening air was glad with passing maskers' songs. And still the most interested and most wistful of al! observers were the Fed eral*—men and officers off duty. Every where they mingled in the throng, giv ing and taking chaff with high good humor and equal regret that their gen eral’s order forbade participation. For in nil that revived revel not one unto ward incident, not one rude act even, had been reported; and the fears of the timid were wholly set at rest by the in born courtesy and tact of the creole. And now the throngs began to form spontaneously in order, lining the sides of Canal street in dense masses, added to each instant from the emptying houses and by fresh crowds pouring down the aide streets. The Krewe was coming! Ushered in by rosy glow of distant, pulsing light and softened blare of brsaen march advanced that strange so dear to creole tradition, to its floatinL cloud of rosy light, each greeted by ap- ! „ preciative plaudits for its beauty and | Corner Public Square and Main Street, sympathy for its suggestion. And last rolled by the last division of j the mystic trilogy, The Future. Radiant and fair of promise showed her beautiful figure, the calm face grand and noble. I And round The Future grouped peace and hopo and love, simple and pure, as emblematic of tho new life to follow that active Present born from the hot and announce to the people of Darlington evil Past 1 and surrounding counties that they And again that sensitive southern wiH 0 * H ‘ U 0,1 " r al)out llay a5th l>opuh;ce, ever apt to read tho lessons < >t mystic allegory, clave the night with plaudits, lond, long and heartfelt! “Singular people, these Creoles!” the general remarked to a brilliant party on his balcony. "A pretty affair; but, poor as they are, I can’t see why they throw away thousands on a useless show.” “I harri’j- think it useless," Dale Ever ett answered quietly. "It strikes me that this Krewe of Comns teaches deep lessons to itspublle. and that they not only enjoy tut understand them.” “I hope, they do,” the commander re plied blu itly. “But is there another people under the sun who, under such circumstances, would attempt it?" “Probably not,” the Puritan soldier answered. “But is there another that.
