NEW ORLEANS FRENCH MARKET.

One of the Fixed Institutions of the Cres-
cent City-Noticeable Features.
Gathering over rough paved streets you
come suddenly upon the French market,
fixed institution of New Orleans-an institI-
ton that war, pestilence, progress, nor not
even the old Father Time himself has been
powerful enough to change. Here at one
glimpse you have some of the most singular
features of this most singular city. A bright
and busy scene is this market thronged with
French, creoles, half breeds, mulattoes,
Americans and negroes, in one ever-moving
mass, vocal with Spanish expletives and
Mexican patois, French EXPLANATIONS and
loud voiced Americans; bright with gaudy
bandannas tied round the heads of rotund
and grinning negresses, in strange and
graceful turban, or crossed over their ample
busts.
Every one is busy with chaffering and
cheapening Shrill accents of satisfaction
and dull grunts of dissent greet the ear, and
over all the quick, clicking sound of "gumbo
French that nondescript tongue of the
French mulatto OF the coast. Nowhere in
the whole south does the negro show so mark
edly all his distinctive traits as in this French
market Scarce in any other place can You
see the peculiar turban of the woman,
souvenir of the old days Of slavery and dis
carded by the younger growth of the fif-
tenth amendment Nearly the whole of the
old levee is devoted to market uses, crowded
with booths and the small carts of hucksters,
generally mulattoes filled with knots OF
varied natonalities clad in as varied attire
Two things strike the stranger particularly
in a walk through this institution of the city
One is the jolly, unctuous aspect of the ne
groes, especially the women, for they seem to
live habi,ually ON the "possum fat" of song,
and display their rounded figures in scant
drapery topped by the unique turban. The
other noticeable feature is the peculiar voices
of the people of the lower order. Sharp high
or loud as they may speak, the voice is sell
dom an unrlusical one and never nasal. and
the laughter that seems a second nature to
them is delightful to hear Doubtless the
climate causes the change, for we can note it
in those who have lived 4 long time away
from their native north or west.-Cor Globe

THE POETS REcOMPENsE.

Not gain-for poetry and want have been
To one another cvermore akin,
And while the songs of some have brought
them gold,
Poets outnumbering them thousandfold
Have known the pinching pain of wants grim
hold.
Nor is it wonder that a poets dream
Mid things of substance of no worth should
seem.
Not praise things done so poor are in the
light
OF what, had one the power, one would in
dite,
That praise seems undeserved IT'S scant as
well;
For one will say: "A borrowed, threadbare
spell,'
And others of false rhymes and meters tell.
While poets there have been that died un-
praised,
Whom after years to highest rank have
raised.
But this the poets only true return
For all his song-that haply he may earn
A place as silent friend within some heart;
May help to swell the joy or soothe the smart,
Until the grateful one shall deem him part
OF self, and cry: These thoughts which
thou hast drest
In words lay prisoned long within my breast. !"

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-01-14

The spring days came. and oil things
seemed to prosper. The English signora
took mp her abode again In Aibano. and
often visited the young wife and little Pipi-
no, who had not only recovered from his
accident, but was getting less lame under
the skillful treatment of the kind doctor.
The boy was very clever, too. People be-
gan TO shake their heads wisely, and proph-
esy that he would do great things some day.
"Ah!" they said, at was lHckythour for
Lucia when she took that child. He will
turn out a genius"
Sad accounts came from Rome-sad
stories of the life led by Enrico and Mad
dalena, but they never REACHED Lucia S
ears. Nicolo guarded against that. To
him, also, the mere mention of the names
brought bitter memories, and no allusion
TO Them ever crossed his lips.
And so Lucia's life went on, passed in
tranquil happiness. The love she had ac-
cepted was honest and sincere, not full of
stormy gusts, like the passion of Enrico,
but patient and unselfsh, filling every day &
commonplace duties with sweet and
thoughtful attentions. With her husband
Mt her side, Pipino growing no, and baby
voices calling her mother Lucil has reason
to bless the day she took the name OF
Prato.

a PREHISTORIC LEGEND.
by rEnr1NAx.


Upon this rlein whore rich Chicago stands
And roars nloit her palaces OF trade,
Yhe unAreeched savage ruled the virgin land.
Hunted the deer and wooed the duslxy maid.
Then Wahnnkee was Chief Of all the bands
Tint wandered on the hillside md the glade.
A mis City people were tho Illinois then.
WahnalIee WAS Chief of fifty thousand mon.
He reared his lodge down by the mighty lake,
Whose placid waters change not with the years.
The yosng men of his tribe he oft would take
And school them how To hide their hopes and
fears.
And he loved glory not for glory's sake,
But THAI Il sounded well in other ears
That he had led his tribe against the Sioux,
Surprised these willy foes, and whipped them,
too.
Wahnakec, ON many field had shown his
might
Well was he skilled In Indian ways,
To cunning march and then as boldly Tight
NOrone was like him in those early days,
Whether In council, passions TO incite,
Or upon Auguref's Oincns he did gaze.
He was a Chief, tho inghtiest in the land,
Born To the purple, and bred to command.
He lived his time and then Wahnakee died,
The Chieftain grand, the grandest OF his race.
His warriors grieved, his wife and children
cried,
Then with the earth they covered UP his face.
To happy hunting grounds Wahnakee hied,
And a new Chief was chosen in his place.
The entire tribe has passed away from earth
And left no record of its death or birth.

When l think of the conspicuous part

PLAYS in novels, ancient and modern;

drapery as covert, the mischief-mak-

noiseless portiere sure refuge for their
eavesdropping, feel a sense of horror
at the renaissance OF the portiere.
A wooden door gives forth an honest
"Look out. :" sort of bang, and the
rattle of its knob or latch enables a
young couple to have some sort Of
chance in preparing against unwelcome
intrusion. But the portiere is n snake.
Its sinuous folds batray neither the
coming nor the departing one. In alb
solute silence the cruel father, the stern
mother-in-law, the suspicious husband,
can part its treacherous folds and stand
revealed to the very people who most
wish the intruder in the wilds of Africa.
All the possibilities confront the man
who removes his doors and substitutes
the charming but treacherous portiere.

Cause and Nature of MeteOrs,

1t is now known that meteors can not

is also universally conceded by all OBJ
servers of natural phenomena that in
Vulnerable minute bodies fill celestial
spaces, moving around the sun in every
possible kind of orbit. OF the exact
nature of these small bodies compare
lively little can be known, but it is GER
tail that our earth is continually en-
countering them in its passage through
its orbit. They are burned in passing
through the upper regions of our at
mosphere, and the shootingstar is
simply the light of that burning. The
question how they can be burned 80
quickly and with so intense a light
puzzled astronomers pntil it was seen
that these Phenomena could be fully
accounted for 10y the mechanical theory
OF heat. 1t is now established that heat
is My certain form of motion; that
hot air differs from cold air only in a
more rapid vibration of its molecules,
and that it communicates its heat to
other bodies simply by striking them
with its molecules, and thus setting
their molecules in vibration. An exact
measure has been found for this in
crease of heat, velocity OF 125 feet per
second being shown to increase the
temperature one degree, and higher
velocities increasing temperature IN
proportion to the square of tn veloc-
ity, as 4 degrees with a velocity of $50
fee, IL degrees with one of.500 feet
second. and so on. To find the heat to
which meteor is exposed in moving
through our atmosphere We divide its
velocity In feet per second by 1875; the
square of the Luotient will give the
temperature in degrees. Now, the earth
moves in its orbit at the rate of 1000
feet per second, and if it met meteor
at rest this velocity would create rise
in temperature corresponding to about
600, 900 degrees, wbi h largely exceeds
any temperature that can he created on
the EARTH even by art fetal means. If,
as is commonly the case, the meteor is
also moving to meet the earth, the in
crease of temperature will he even

meteors arc actu lily heated up to this
temperature. but the AIR acts upon
them as il it were heated to this point

She Was Watching Bill.

III was In the gallery OF the House.
The Legislature was In session and the
railroad bill was up for disc ssion.
Two old country ladies edged down,
and after much wriggling got sets.
One was stout and prim. Thee was a
look of defiance in her pale eyes.
Every feat re seemed TO be on the o.
fensive. Without speaking q word,
she seemed to say from head to foot :
yes, am here, and / have never been
here before. Now, what have yol got
to say about it?"
The other was long and angular.
She seemed to move in the magic circle
of the visible authority exercised by
her companion. There was meek,
accommodating look in her tired brown
eyes, and the althea snuff-stick thrust
between her lips barely quivered, she
chewed so gently upon it. She did not
gaze about her much, but fixed her
eyes upon the throng of legislators be-
low. Her faded shawl dropped back,
revealing a faded calico dress, and a
battered reticule of ancient date was
clasped In her hand. @Lah, SAL" she
suddenly exclaimed in whisper, "if
why not?" said the prim lady aloud,
twisting around and facing the people
on the other side. william 1oddle-
kins was elected ter speak for Snap
doodle County" A dozen pair of eyes
were fixed upon her. She reiterated:
Il say, why not? William Toddlekins
was elected to speak for Snapdoodle
County. Why shouldn't he be here?"
The faded woman went down into her
sachel for another dip, and said
"But who'd tho't Bill Toddlekins
would ever err got in the Legislature.
What's he goin' ter do, anyhow"
DO? Why, gracious alive, Mrs.
Bette, he's goin ter give them railroad
men fits.
Again the prim lady faced the sur
rounding company and bobbed her
head detiantly
"What'uz j II know bout raj roads ?"
asked the faded lady, putting the cover
back on her snuff-box and closing her
sachel without even n snap. LAS
time / saw'im he couldn't drive steer
round the postofice corner. Bet he
co ldn't go round n railroad bend now
and find his way back"
Further conversation was shut of,
for just then Bill rose to his feet, and
combing his name more or less grace
fully with his left hand, SAILED into
the railroads" He stampel, he raved,
he invoked the Constitlti he foamed
over "inalienable rights and moaned
when ne spoke of an oppressed and
downtrodden people. And every time
his good right arm sawed the air the
prim lady bounced around and gazed
defantly upon the assembled company.
But the faded lady merely chewed upon
her althea mop and said nothing. She
was watching Bill. Macon Telegraph.

FoR an American to marry in Mexico
is somewhat serious business He
must lie three times married, twice in
Spanish and once in nglish. besides
having public notice of his intention
of marriage placed on bulletin board
for twenty days before the ceremony.
This is the law. The public notice can
be gotten around by the payment of .
sum of money, but a res dence of one
month is necessary. The three cere-
monies are the contract OF marriage. the
civil marriage-the only marriage
recognized by law since lo5S-and the
usual but not obligatory church SER
vice. The first two must take place
before a Judge, and in the prese oe of

legal form of marriage. These cere-
monies are necessarily in Spanish.
