The New Orleans crescent. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1866-1869, 1868-11-15

OF the city. we cross IN turn Tchoupitoulas, Mag
szine Camp. st. Charles. Carondeiet, Baronne
and Rampant streets. only TO see on them different
KINDS OF houses and people and avocstions. After
these, We find the colored population more nu-
meroos. We pas the Girod Street Cemetery, where
lie sleening - many departed loved Ones and turn
down Liberty street at q right angle. The Eihio-
psan element Is indeed strong in numbers in this
locality, and one involuntarily laughs at some of
the nus er outlandish signs displayed by various
workmen or dealers over their doors.
We urn again, and run out Poydrss as far as
Claiborne, passing long rows of cottage tene-
ments. cotton press or two and some stretches
of vacaI tlots The country begins to gain pre-.
dominance over the city apparently bat II is only
still 60 two or three miles Of built up streets. Oh
now We turn on this magnificent Claiborne street,
destined some day to be The avenue Of New
Orleans. IL, too, has its grassraised neutral
ground in the center. and al ny this passes our
car. In q moment or two more we are at Clsi-
borne Market, busy business center, around
which cluster stores and residences, built closely
together. We must change cars here.
This one we are ieaving turns out Common
street toward the terminus at Rocheblave street.
The tne We are about to enter Continues on down
ClaiborI street, and requires no additional fare.
So off " go. We cross Canal and pass into the

c~er1ows, riots and all that has taken place in
New 0rlesns for the last twenty years. Further
on are the cemeteries, white with their marble
mol uments and shafts, and inclosed BY musty
grass grown walls of brick. Then we come to
the draw bridge crossing the Old Basin. What
view is presented as we rumble over the bridge
Lumber there is everywhere along the banks
schooners, yawls and pirogues moored or moving
about in the water-a little fleet right in the heart
Now we are ac ain on terra frma. The dwell.
lngs are all well kept and cosy looking along
here-toy houses in their very neatness of exte-
rior-one indeed wonders what populous city
New Orleans is when he visits this densely inhab
tied section. And now Claiborne street takes 0
bend TO the right, and the houses are further
apart, the shade Of the overhanding trees is
deDser. II Is quiet and pleasant here, and one
feels very pardonable desire to alight and stray
awsy toward the meadows TO be seen not far
away. But ahead is Elysian Fields street, and at
the corner the little station house where passen.
gers bound TO the lake may find shelter while wait
ing for the steam cars. We whirl along tas
street toward the levee several squares and again
turn of in direction parallel to that we followed
on Claiborne street. Here too is thriving popu.
lstion, but the Mexican Gulf Railway depot stands
at the corner, vacant and old. And now we near
Lafay ette avenue. and then Broad street with
raised eway In thecenter, and, turning to the
left, are in moment at the terminus. 1t is as
still here, as country tavern when the
mail stage drives up. Now-we must deposit
~
though we only 60 as far back as Esplanade, aud
there take the Bayou Bridge car. We pass sue
cession of beautiful villas. we pass the Fair
Ground with its picturesque buildings, we pass
meadows where cattle are grazing, and then reach
the Bayou st. John. and, turning left, pass along
its bank, to the bridge-where we alight, cross,
and take the car which is in vatng-psy five
cents again, and you are of. This ride is decidedly
its groves Of oaks and its enticing greensward,
and further on you pass the cemeteries, with their
damp, dark brick walls, shaded by trees which
seem to sing perpetual requiem. And now,
what is that broad avenue! Why 1t is Canal
street. Aye, and in the distance you see the gas
lights gmmeriDg like briiliants, while double
strip of white nearer by, reminds you Of the de.
lights of the shell road. Yonder, across the
canal, is the Metairie Course the Halfway
House, and the shell road to the lake. But here
comes our car. This one we are In only forms
junction with 1t. The other takes Us home. So
now, being somewhat fatigued, we look with
toward ,S the city. and aehting where we started
FROM the corner of Canal and Baronne streets,
conclude that fitting wind dup for our ride, for 1t
has given US an appetite, will be steak and a
glass Of ale at one Of the neighboring restaurants
Readers those of you who have nowadays to
count your dimes and picayunes, remember that
we have travelled the entire length and breadth and
width of the city in less than three hours time, at
no trouble and at an expense Of only twenty-five
cents. You can do the same thing yourself any
day. Perhaps, in that case, We may suggest
another route hereafter.
RECORDER BECKER Is determined to adopt
stringent course hereafter with all offenders
charged with breaches of the peace or carrying
conceal weapons, and TO enforce in such cases
the fullest penalties of the law. Yesterday two
men were brought before him charged with Great
irg a disturbance In the Olympic Theater on the
previous night, and threatening to take possess
If the stage. The recorder after hearing the test-
mony, imposed q fine OF twenty-five dollars or
Ara1 rfRn1 ala
additional peace bond OF $1,000 for thirty days
more. Such action as this will greatly aid in
sutpre ssng lawlessness, and preserving that peace
and quletude which all good citizens desire.
