mind with the mention OF persons from thef lart ular
portion Of the hemisphere They are indeed, more like
the Moors Turks than the African race proper. Their
peTonnel is far from dsageebe, and divostei of their
native costume and down New Orleans or any city of
the South they I'D at be pronounced N 1tirsch
tatives OF the creole race Az they are men oi cut
