One Of the greatest failings Of the United
States in the eyes. of he..European traveller
is the absence of every thing that reminds
one of the past. Fresh from the ancient
cities of the Old World, he complains that
everything is almost painfully new; that
all the cities are built after the same stereo-
typed model, and that there is not enough
of tradition or romance about their history
to make it of interest to the student. All
his life he has been surrounded with ruins
and antiquities that speak mutely of the
past, and he does not take kindly to the
busy and original life of America, SO differ
ent from the stored monuments of Eu-
rope. But there is at. least one city that
will satisfy his craving for the things that
have been, and tour of America is incom-
plete without visit to it. One hundred
miles from the mouth of the Mississippi and
partly on the banks of Lake Ponchartrain,

ing along the currents of the adjacent
streams During certain hours of the day,
in the American quarter, cotton is the only
subject spoken Of; the pavements of all
the principal avenues in the vicinity of the
Exchange are crowded with spectators of
all nationalities, who eagerly discuss crops
and values, and seem to have il perfect
mania for preparing and comparing the
estates which are at the basis of all deal
ings in the chief staple. The planter, the
factor, the speculator, all for the tiMe
being worship at the shrine of the god
Cotton. But no matter how practical one
is, and how interested in the subject, one
tires of the sight. Turning to the wharves
and storehouses, the negroes who handle
the crop make a peculiar and picturesque
sight to the unaccustoned stranger.
Hundreds of them swarm about the
ships and form another of the in
Vulnerable pictures that can only be seen
in the Crescent City. When the whistle
blows for dinner, they sink down in the
cotton bales and chat and chatter in the
quaint broken colored English, that is SO
characteristic of the river hand. They are
clad in rags that hang in most provoking
fragments from tneir tawny and coal black
limbs, and they make strange contrast as
they lay in the boiling sun in the snow
white cotton, grooming chants half to them
selves or cracking rough ana good natured
jokes with one another. The negro is always
good humored, even when he grumbies
with an uncouth smile, and goes to his
wor with kind of concentrated effort
that does wonders IN the way of moving
the heavy bales, but as soon as the task is
done he relapses into his favorite condition
of slouch. The sharp voices OF the skip

gangs and the CHEEKY and mirth provoking

glowing description Of the anriferous de
posts in that district:
The recent discovery Of the Benton
mine on the Ortex grant, and the gold
placers Oh tic san I et4tfo and GGaafeff Del
Aqua grants has resulted in a rush Of
miners and psospectors from Utah, Mon
taua and Colorado. The Benton mine
has been paying $4,000 per day, above ex-
penses, for the past 60 days, and no sign
of a let up. Old miners AID prospectors
say the. placers on the San Pedro grant
are the richest in the world. These grants
have at last all been thrown open to the
public. Every train en- the Santa Fee
road brings prospectors and miners, and
they are but the advance guard of the
army coming. The winters are SO mild
as to admit of continuous mining through
the wear. The necessaries of life are
cheaper in Golden than any other mining

Strength of the Crows,

Billings Gazette: The recent census Of
the Grow tribe show that they number
less than 2,100. The census taken ten
years ago showed that the tribe number
5000. This rapid decrease is continuing;
a gentleman intimately acquainted with
these Indians for the past fifteen years
states that the tribe is decreasing from
eight to tea percent annually. In the
largest camp of the tribe, that of Plenty
cous, the deaths exceed the births three
to one. And this band is less affected
with venereal disease than any other on
the Crow reservation. II this thinning
out of these Indians continues the prob
lem of civilizing them and reducing
their reservation will solve itself in the
next fifteen years.
