LOUISIANA LETTER.
Nxw ORLEANS, Dec. 8, ls

NKw ORLEANS, Dec. 8, 1879.
Mrs. HoUeHToN:-l had hoped before
nv next Whiting to be able to tell you
much of work commenced and progress
being made in that direction, but sick
ness has confined me to my room for
nearly three weeks, so Il will give you in
this. something of our surroundings.
Mics Cougill of Delaware, o., is with
me and We have our home at the N. o.
University, which is pleasantly situated
in the upper part of the city. Just in
front of us is Coliseum Square, compris-
ing about five acres of ground. 1t Is sur
rounded by live oaks that are always
green, and 10 carpeted with green grass
the year round. Nature has done that
for it, and that is all that has been done.
The other surroundings would lead any
one to suppose that it would be q restfuI
Quiet day there, at least on the Sabbath.
Just opposite rs il an Episcopal Church,
below MS (south) il the Coliseum Bsp-
tist Church, while on the lower
corner of the Square il the Trinity Epis-
copal Church, and opposite that the Dis
ciple Church. On the next block above
us is the n. E. Church, not forgetting to
msntion only one block away, which 10
entirely covered with Catholic buildings,
church, convent, asylum, etc.
Well, our Square is q gala place on
Sundays, and all day long We must hear
the shouts and hurrahs, always accom-
papying base ball playing, from early
morn ill night. Nor can we find
any quiet Ssbbath-like appears ance
by wandering among and going to
other parts, for as We pass along the
streets, business places Of trade seem TO
be doing Q more lively work than on any
other day. The groceries are all liquor
stores, and one man told me he could not
give mp the liquor trade, for in it was
his greatest profit, that where he could
seIl i've cents worth of bread, he could
sell ten of whisky. The evils Of drink
are 20 constantly before me that it is
di6acult to separate it from any Of the
sssociS ions We meet with along the
street, especially on the Sabbath. and We
feel like exclaiming, "Oh, for Nehemi-
ah in this day with both the power and
the will to 60 out and command that the
markets ehail be closed, and all trafacking
cease on the Sabbath day"
Now wish to tell you something Of
our plan Of work; which is to open an
industrial mission school. had en-
gagged the building before my sickness.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of

drake Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild rs 10 be harmless even
TO children, it is still so effectual as
TO purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into loathsomc disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country reposc in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attcsting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
