THE CHURCHES OF NEW ORLEANS.
Recently church architecture New Orleans, says the
Picoyune of the 18th instant has taken forward Stride
as may be seen by the improved appearance Of re
gious temples and pure and undeled religion" only
keeps pace with improvements in u finish OF houses Of
worship our cltizeDs must become peculiar peo-
pie jealous Of good works." Indeed there appeNs to
be sort of strife among the different religious bodies
to which will furnish the NEST stately fame "to gather
and roll back the sound Of anthems and though such
STRIFE may oy some be objected TO- we Of the secular press
will be the very last to complain.
OF our older specimens Of church architecture, the
hedrals Of st. Louis and st Patrick the most impo-
sing The former tracing back its origin to Spanish
founders claims increase OF interest from association.
And truth to say has little than association to
that few years ago the old cathedral was torn down.
and new one erected in its stead and while the old one
was simple IN the extreme, the new one unduly ornate
The Cathedral church Of ST. Patrick is quite different
style Of buildings it is stately and massive in Its proper
tons, and with the exception Of the four old ladies who
keep watch and ward from its lofty tower, there is
thing OF gingerbread in It's composition.
In the vicinity OF the Second district cemeteries
mend IL save mortuary recollections.
Christ's church. on Canal street, and St. Josephs
weight OF spires Like small but ambitious women, they
seem DESTROYS OF eking out their elevation heavenward
Very large apires on smash churches are an offence to
the eye OF taste and should be avoided.
The new Episcopal church, on Camp street, Is well
proportoned and fine looking edince and the may
be said Of its rs ris the Church Of St. rherese They
have both been erected within the course of a few
st follow Camp street. tlllIwe get amoug Its unpav
ed lengths and rural surroundings 1--WE find an ambitious
Baptist church-none your modest meeting houses
the oldtn time-with a sl unfinished spire which pro
mises to be as tall If not taller than that Of any OF its
rival landmarks in the road to heaven Indeed to our
eye the house 10 dhtgured by Of tower and alt
tude OF spre Those who planned are Of course Of
different opinion. In o,her respects this church Ia fine
and well proportioned building.
On Carondelet street. between Julia and st. Joseph
streets Hebrew friends Of the ancient faith erect
ing very beautiful and substantial temple to the Most
High. II Is TO be succeed brick structure, similar in
its general appearance TO the Synagogue which, about
year ago. torn down Canal street. In front there
ia to be spacious portico supported by six Cornthan
columns The commencement of this Synagogue the
signal Tor various ether improvements on the same block
but they or private chars cer we viii refer
to them specially in this connection.
Among the most remarkable Of our recently erected
churches is that octagona structure on ST. Charles street.
which erected for the venerable Or. Clapp, whose
name occupies conspicuous place In the religious his
tory Of Ne . Orleans. Such building might expect
Moslem, but never as place Of religious worship in
Christian country pretty to look A. but the gazer
is irresstby inclined to associate its fancifu outlines
ard numerous turrets with the fragile temples which
sdorn confectionery windows
The Pres church, the southern side OF La
fay cite square, will when completed, be truly arch
tectura ament TO the city The design far yet
developed Is admirable one and II will doubtless be
carried out in all its harmonious proportions.
Chief however, among the ecclesiastical structures OF
New Orleans In point OF beauty at least-wl be the
Jesuit church on Baronne street Combining all that is
graceful in the Saracenc with the substantial and
mental of other styles, will, when finished be worth
pilgrimage to see It has been under headway for seve
raj years. and another year. at least will be required TO
complete II. AT the present stage OF its advancement we
shall attempt full description but hereafter, when
BEAUTIES only suggested are wrought into rea

The other churches OF the city and there many,
WILL en- future occasion, claim chapter at our hands.
