sure there is no place in the South, /
doubt II there is a city In the Union,
where persons OF limited means can
live 50 cheaply and well as in New Or
leans. It is the universal opinion that
no city presents such destinations, for II
Gun call its varied attractions by no
other name, as New Orleans. Its eli.

lhospitable, the manners and customs |

1t is said, the great problem OF life isl
how to live! That means cheapness
combined with comfort and a possible
spice OF luxury That problem comes !
nearest being solved in this city. AL !
though q next door neighbor, being %
resident Of Mississippi, ] confess myself |
astonished at the amount of comfort
and true life obtainable here at n very
moderate cost. Good board, with lodg-
ing, can be had readily at $50 a month,
and even at $40. A comfortable house,
can be rented at $15 q month and
one can pay as much for these things
rs he chooses, il he wishes to pay for
style. A plate Of a dozen, most siiccu-
lent and delicious oysters Is had for
twenty cents. Oysters and the. best Of
ish always are abundant, while vegeta-
Dies are cheap and plenty the year
'ound. as are all kinds of fruit. Drives
md walks are numerous. and attractive.
