steps up and down,
THROUGH AND ACROSS
the Broadway OF New Orleans. At present,
between the hours Of noon and evening, that
ia up to o'clock, g. never-ceasing, and ever
surging crowd Of human beings is pressing
It's way here and there; some are bent on
business errands, others walk leisurely,
STOPPING AT EVERY WINDOW
to inspect the beauties housed within. At
every step you notice Il stranger whom you
Immediately recognize as such from his nerv-
GUS, inquiring and astonished way OF looking
at people and things. Some few minutes
before twilight the street looks somewhat de-
serted; every one is at dinner; the restaurant
keepers are busy attending to the wants Of
the newly arrived strangers who may be de-
sirous to taste the
FAMED CUISINE
of our establishments. and the garcoms can be
seen hurrying to and fro, and never ceasing
to receive the orders Of the customers.
Twilight is fast approaching. The gas
lamps are Lit; all the show windows blaze
with lights, and the crowd Is again surgiDg
towards Canal street to look at Che thousand
The stores display all their wares to the
best advantage, and many one, tempted by
the array Of beautiful articles steps In and

THE FRUIT STANDS
tobacco shops and confectioneries have their
share of patronage, which, by the way, they
deserve; for nowhere are fruits, game and
sweets as plentiful and as cheap as in Now
Orleans When midnight arrives only o few
stragglers remain. and these shortly leave to
come again the next day, and the next, to re-
peat their promenades on Canal street.
WHAT CONTRIBUTES MUCH
toward making the boulevard attractive Is
the number of peddlers Of canes umbrellas,
peanuts, cough candies, perfumery, soap, and
of countless articles too varied to mention,
but which must be known to every frequcnter
of the thoroughfare On both sides OF the
street, from Rampant to the levee, the peanut
and fruit stands have again appeared.
Then there Is the electric battery man,
"only five cents a hold, gentlemen the

Alonc walked the ocean strand u.u
A pcarly shell WAS in my hand; -.....r"
I stoopod and wrote upon the sand
My name, the year, the day. '
AS onward from the spot passed, ...
One lingering look behind cast
A wave carne rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so, lnethought, twill shortly DO
With every mark on earth from me
a wave of dark oblivion's sea 31

Of mo, my name, tho name 1 bore, s..
To lcavc no track, no trace.
And yet with Him who counts the sands
And holds the water in His hands, ..

Inscribed against my nane,
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
OF all this thinking soul has thought,
And from thcso footing moments caught
For glory or for shame.

BRAVE SOUTHERN JOURNALISTS.

The South has borne herself bravcly
and nobly during the yellow fever
scourge; no people could have behaved
better. Ono class in particular has
shown unainching courage and the
most generous humanity. Its mem
bers may not have done, probably
they did not do, anything more than
many others in the infected districts,
but they have been conspicuous from
their calling. These, the Journalists of
tho South, meaning all who are occu-
pied with getting, transmitting or ar
ranging news, have reflected credit on
themselves and the profession by the
quiet, resolute manner in which they
discharged to their fullest their highest
duty. Hardly an instance can be given
in which one of them has quilted his
post. In New Orleans, Vicksburg,
Memphis and in smaller towns they
have refused to go away, as they might
and 80 many others have done. They
determined to face the dangcr-a very
formidable one, since very few of them
had had the fever, and a large number
were new to the Southland to chal-
lengc death in order to render the SER
vice which they knew would be sadly
needed. Scores of them have been
down with the pestiiencc many have
died, but none have faltercd or retreat
cd. On some newspapers only one or
two journalists have been left, but the
survivor or survivors have kept rclig-
iously at their work. Nor have they
by any means restricted themselves to
their business, they have distributed
supplics-nany belong to the Towards
attended to the sick and dying, and
worked inccssantly to relieve suffering,
to help humanity in every way possi-
BILE. They have seen death steadily
approaching they have looked him
calmly in tho face they have felt they
must be victims. But they have not
! blanched, nor abated efforts while they
