No MARDI GnAs The chief festival
OF New Orleans has always been Mardi
Gras. the day before Lent, which lass
begins ON Ash Wednesday. II is q
carnival almost equal in gsyety and
abandon to those formerly held in
Rome. Iu New Orleans it surpsssee
in festivity and merry.msking any of
the other festi isals. political or reli-
gions. of the year, and perhaps all of
them combined. A despatch, how.
ever, announces that Mardi Gras is
not to be held this year in New Or
leans, for the reason essentially that
the people do not feel like making
merry. The unhappy people OF New
Orleans. like the captive Israelites,
seem to feel more like hanging their
harps upon the willows than indulsing
in rejoicing under the heels of their
oppressors. The Lenten season has
began with them long sgo. and there
is no knowing where it will end. They
feel that they can hold no carnival till
this bitter season OF penance apd
notification has como to an end.
Nothing can be more Significant Of the
distress aud suffering which have been
brought upon the people of New Or
leans, thsn their determination to sur
render this year the celebration of
their great annual festival of Mardi
Gras.
