Grand Isle was, 40 or so years
ago a sugar plantation. The wood
by which the sugar vas boiled was
picked up on the beach. 1t may
have 1oated from the Rocky Noun
tains, and passing out of the Mis-
sissippi river d.ifted under the in
tluence of East winds to this is
land; it may have fOated ont Of
Amazon and been brought by the
South breeZes. Tradition says that
the yield of sugar was good until
bitches were cut from Gulf to bay
across the island when the salt va
ter so filtered into the soil that the
cane would not make sugar. 1t al
so says, that the land a ruined
by attempting to increase the yield
by deep p!oughing, by which the
crust Of the earth was broken and
the salt water oozing through the
sands caused the sugar 70 be so
salty as to render it unfit tor use,
and the island, as a sugar planta
ton, was abauded.
Still, another tradition says that
the sugar made on the island was
principally made in Cuba, was
brought to Grand Isle and a crop
of 80 hogsheads by the time it reach
ed the New Orleans market, become
| one of 800 hoggsheads, without in
creasing the Tariff revenues of the
Government.
And yet another says that Grand
Isle was a safe landing place for
slave runners from Africa who
would land theic cargoes, thereon,
where they would be retained long
enough to recover from the fatigues
of their voyage, learn a little En-
glish or French, become somewhat
acclimated, whence they would be
run throug the various Bayous to
the plantations along the coast and
sold.
Since those days changes that
have occurred have put a stop to
all such traffic and the last two ira
ditions probably tell the true story
and explain how the salt got into
the sugar.

The applicants climbed up three flights
of curious winding staircase. Long cor.
ridors that resembled the halls OF hotel
branched off from the staircase, and there
were numerous little rooms in the CORR
doris. Some of the doors were shut and
locked, others were wide open, and revealed
glimpses Of the actresses rooms. In one
place number of graceful girls were try
ing on dresses before mirrors and laughing
and chatting. In the last room at the end
of the third corridor sat Mdle. Isaia, Of
Col. Mapleson's company.
The apartment looked like dressmak-
er's work-room. Lots of dresses worn by
ballet girls and members of the opera
chorus hung on the walls. Seamstresses
were busy sewing stage garments. An ltal
ian gentleman in his shirt sleeves, standing
between table and gas stove, on which
