LITTER FROM NEW Iberia. Ia.

New IBERIA, La, Feb 25tb, 1873
To the Editor of the Star
Ihe political middle in which our fair
State is plunged creates such stagnation,
that 1t ID almost impossible to get an item
worthy OF interest. Our town is extremely
dull in point of business which may be at
tributed to the unsettled state of affairs, the
tlmidity of capital, and the planters taking
advantage of this delightful weather to pre-
pare for the coming crops. The spring has
been unusually early this year, fruit trees are
now in full bloom, and if Jack Frost will ouIy
defer paying us another visit, we may expect
a bountiful fruit crop. The cane generally is
IN good condition, having suffered little or
none during the winter, and our planters are
feeling jubilant over their prospects of future
success. Although business is dull, our town
sthi exhibits signs of prosperity, several
houses are IN course of construction, the foun-
dry is kept quite busy, and also the saw mills
and sash and blind factory. The three boats
plying between here and BFashear get as much
freight as they can conveniently carry. the
warehouses being generally we'll filled with
cotton, sugar, eggs, hides, etc. etc. While on
the improvement question, 1 must mention
the overhauling our streets are getting from
that indefatigable member of our town conn
Gil, Mr. P E. Burke, who is one of the street
commissioners; he is thoroughly ditching the
old, aud opening new streets, and gives his in
dlVldual attention to the matter-he can truly
be called City father. Our people very much
regret the removal of our beloved pastor
rather Chase and his curate Father Beaubien
The former has gone to your city, and the lat
ter to Fausse Point. The establishing of the
College of the Holy Cross, and Convent of
Mount Carmel, also Convent for colored pu-
pills, and many improvements in st. Peters
Church, are amongst the many good works &C.
complished by those good Fathers They carry
from Iberia the best wishes of the people in
their new fields of labor. Father LIE Cosic,
formerly of Royvlle, succeeds Father Chase
and is young priest every way worthy of the
esteem of the People-havng rendered valaa-
bic services here during the yellow fever of
'67, when the writer first knew him. 1 fear 1
have already trespassed too much on your val
liable time, and will conclude by promising
an item next week on our college and convent.

Editor Morning Star:
word from here may not be out of place in
your good paper. The Annual Convention of
the Temperance Societies of this State was
held ut Scranton on the 9Th and 9TH insts.
Forty societies were represented by delegates
and seventeen by proxy--total, ffty-seven-
whose membership amounts to 91OO, being q
gain of 5000 since the last Convention. TWEEN
ty-two societies of Cadets Cboys), whose mem
bership is 24oO, were also represented 1t will
will thus be seen that our State Union is COM
posed of 70 societies and IL, 100 members, and
this after only one years united effort We ask
our brothers of the Crescent City to rejoice
with US for the rapid progress we have made.
Truly yours, VIM. HARMON.

GENERAL NEWS.

Last Saturday the foundation stone of a
new Anglo-American Protestant Church
was laid by Protestant Bishop in the Via
Naz'onale. In the Villa Casaii, just out
side the gate of S. Sebastian, on the old
Applan Way, an ancient sepuichre has been
recently discovered. 1t contains three
sepulchral chambers, in which have been
found four sarcopbagi of white marble,
sculptured with fine s-reliefs. These
represent: On the first, the Muses., one of
whom, crowned with flowers, is supposed
20 be the portrait of the lady whose re-

tomb. All are in perfect preservation

MARDI GRAs.-The annual Mardi Gras festi-
vities were celebrated with more than usual
magnificence this year. Tho crowds of mask
ers who, heretofore, perambulated the city in
email groups, were this year concentrated into
one grand procession which was greatly in
creased by numbers of young men-clcrks
merchants and others-who appeared on horse
back, as knights, mobiles, etc. Ono of the
features of tho procession was tho Royal Navy,
which was borne along the streets on largo
floats. Among tho yachts were several we'll
known to fame as victors in many of tho regat-
tas held in Southern waters during the past
three or four summers The most prominent
among these were the Protos, Xiphias and
Limnas, in the latter of which appeared the
veteran tar, John Clemens. At the head of the
procession, which was about two miles in
length, rode the Mayor Of the city, Mr. P. s.
Wilt The procession commenced its march
at 1 o'clock, and paraded the streets till near
dusk, when the immense crowds of spectators
to obtain rest and refreshments, md
again to assemble to witness tho parade Of the
far-famed Mystick Krewe of Comus. At about
p. NJ. tho Mysticks suddenly appeared, and
show wed to the assembled thousands "The
Missing Links of Darwin's Origin of Species.''
The number of strangers who visited tho city
