out Girard street to the head
of the canal which leads to
Lake Ponchartrain; one square
east, and we were in the midst
of such filth, wretchedness
degradation and crime, as peo>
pie who live in the country or
quiet villages Can not picture
to themselves. The first thing
We noticed was about half i
dozen women staggering and
reeling on the sidewalks to
wards US. As soon as they
came up they halted and asked
us if we couldn't treat. We
told them they had too much
already. While parleying, one
of them fell into a ditch which
carries the water off from the
city, and another, in attempt
ing 10 help her out fell, also;
and both would have been
drowned if one of our party
hadn't helped them out. We
went into their drinking sa.
looms. In all, men and women
were drinking and carousing.
In one saloon we passed, the
inmates, sixteen or eighteen in
number, were engaged in a
fight; pistols and knives were
freely used. Shows were nu-
merous. For fees ranging from
ten to twenty-five cents you
could go in and see a low order
Of entertainment, destitute of
sense and sentiments and every
thing else except vulgarity. /
saw such evidences of depravi.
ty, such filth, rags and wretch
edness as | never saw before,
and such as | hope | may never
see again. Most of these men
and women started with good
prospects in this world, but one
mistep had led TO another un-
til they went down below the
level of the brutes. Vice can not
be stunned too much-chess,
dice, frolics, balls, drinking sa.
looms, and above all, gambling
bells. They are leading thou,
sands of young men, and wo
men too, to death and destruc-
ton.

Photographs because all the freckles,

seem to be exaggerated, and show 50

few of the scenes in New Or.
leans and the southern coun>
try, and hasten along to the
second eventful period in my
life. While in the city we Wis
tied a saloon called Whisky
Mays saloon. On entering a
room back of the bar-room we
found men and women sitting
at tables i~ndiscriminately, play.
ing cards and drinking. The
room was furnished with excel.
lent taste, regardless of ex.
pense, and the women were
dressed elegantly, and many Of
them were ~handsome-some
were mere girls. Hightower
took a hand at one of the Ia
bles and won a considerable
sum of money. Of course
these women were fallen from
their pure state, but do not
think, dear reader, that woman
falls from a desire to lead a
life of wickedness, and that
she would not reform if she
should have but one friendly
hand to help her up. While
there are thousands Of snares
to entrap her, after she is once
down the whole world is against
her, and scarcely one to en-
courage or befrieEd. She knows
the life before her leads down,
down to endless shame, misery,
and poverty, until perhaps sui.
eide ends her wretched life
Yet she can scarcely abandon
her career; society will not let
her raise, but drives her back
in despair.
While Hlghtower was at his
game, | engaged a mere girl
who was in this den in CONVEX
sstion. She told me the story
of her life. She had lived in
New York. Her father died,
and poverty came upon her
mother with three children, of
whom she was the oldest. A
woman on the street had be~
friended her only to betray
her. Under promise of steady
work whereby she could help
her mother, she had accom-
panied this woman to New Or.
leans, where away from friends
and home, penniless, she was
forced to SIN or starve. She
spoke with such hatred of the
life she was leading, and with
such horror of the end to which
it would bring her to, that I be
came interested in her behalf,
and on relating her story to
Hightower, we determined to
try her, at least. We paid her
bill at this house and engaged
passage for her to her home in
New York, and l have reason
TO believe that the confidence
we placed In her vas not be.

Bent OH seeing the sights, the
next night we visited the most
degraded part of the city, a
part inhabited by boatmen,,
roughs, rogues and thieves
called by its d~enizens, Shirt

hotel advised us not to 20

selves, and We went. We went
