Creole Society in New Orleans.

OF recent years the creole element in
New Orleans society has lost, to a con-
siderable extent, that prominence which
it formerly possessed The old creole
families have been slow to adapt them
selves to the changed conditions of life
in the Crescent City. Tenacious of old
ways and forms, clinging with charac-
teristic French fondness to the homes
endeared to them by thousand tender
associations and pleasant memories,
they have retired more and more within
themselves as the waves of modern pro-
gress have swept with eyer-increasinp
force across the familiar paths they and
their ancestors had trod for many gen
erations, and gradually obliterated the
landmarks which told of the luxury
and splendor of the ante-bellnm period.
The loss of their slaves and the ravaees
OF the war reduced most of these old
families from afiuence to comparative
poverty. Most of the creole mansions
In old New Orleans are fallen into.
architectural decrepitude; but the oc-,
cupanss are still as stately, as dignifsd
and az courteous as in the days ef their

WiFE-SELLiNG.
The Old-Time Custom of DispSsing Of VnA
desirable Helpmeets.

The Old-Time Custom of Dispssine Of IN.
desirable Helpmeets.
The custom of selling and purchasing
wiNss in England certainly can claim q
very respectable antiquity, and probably
is based upon the ancient laws of the
Anglo-SaxonA. If freeman took awav
the wife of freeman, he was to pay
his full weregeld, to buy another wife
for the injured husband, and deliver her
at his home. In the reign of Canute
the law received some modification; no
guardian could compel his ward to
marry man she disliked, and the
money paid for her was to be volnn-
tary gift, and not compulsory pay
ment. 1t is not unnatural to suppose
that the commodity thus obtained by
money was transferable to another for
a similar consideration whenever it NAV
have become useless or disagreeable 20
its original purchaser. 1t seems, how
ever, not impossible that the commence
ment of the custom would be found even
in times antecedent, when women
guilty of unfaithfulness were either put
to death or sold as slaves.
The value of a wife seems to have
been mostly held in light esteem, for
one was sold at Gloucester market by
auction in 1841 for half crown, and it
is recorded that the purchaser frequently
congratulated himself on his bargain. .
Even in commercial sense he could
well afford to be jubilant, for the ..lotn
was attired in a new white bonnet and
a black gown, the usual ornament in
the way of a halter being included,
which was not bad consideration for his
money, let alone the lady's charms.
In the year 1859 another instance of
this moral degradation was furnished
by the town of Dudley, where hundreds
of people were assembled in Hall street
one evening to attend wife sale. The
first bid was three-halfpence, and ulti-
mately reached sixpence. Her husband,
in his ignorance, thought that after the
ceremony had been repeated three times
she actually had no claim upon him.
In 1881 a wife was sold at Sheffield
for the paltry consideration of a quart
OF beer, and in 1862 similar purchase
was made at Selby-market Cross at the
cost of only one-half that amount, mere
ly pint of beer, which was thought
sufficient for mans helpmate.
The tariff would seem to be on a
accommodating scale as we advance
in the century, for a case occurs, re-
corded by the South Wales Daily News,
May 2, 1882, at Alfreton, where a
woman was sold by her husband for a
still lower valuation in pubhc-house.
The modus operandi had the charm of
simplicity: in room full of men he
offered to sell her for glass of ale, and
the offer being accepted by a young
man. she readily agreed, took off her
wedding ring, and from that time cons
sidered herself the property of the pur-
chaser.-Harper's Weekly.

THE HORSE.

How o Carson (Nev) Blacksmith Strives
to Make 1t Pleasant for Him.
Mr.. Torreyson, the blacksmith of this
city, is noted for his kindness toward
animals. He has just built road cart,
now on exhibition at his blacksmith
shop, which is destined to revolutionize
travelling by road and so materially
tighten the labors of that noble animal
the horse. The idea is to occasionally
give the horse chance to ride in the
cart as the driver. The idea was first
suggested to Mr.. Torreyson by seeing
turtle move along the road carrying his
shell with him. The vehicle made by
Mr.. Torreyson has four high wheels
and the place between them arched, so
that the horse is hitched under the
wagon between the wheels, his head
projecting little beyond the front
wheels and his tail just barely clearing
the hind wheels. The driver sits lust
over the horses neck, and the Others in
the wagon face outward on each side
The horse is so fastened that the pulling
is distributed over his body and does
not all come on his neck and shoulders.
In this position he is greatly protected
from the sun and storm, and thereby
enabled to make long journeys with
less fatigue.
But the principal part of the inven-
ton lies in bellyband about four feet
wide passing under the horse. When
you reach the top of long hill, down
which horse would have to go slowly
as he held back the load, you simply
turn crank and it lifts the horse off
his feet several inches from the ground,
and the vehicle then runs down the hill
OF its own momentum. 1t is provided
with a steering apparatus and brake,
that the vehicle may be steered and it's
velocity regulated.
Several times during the day the
tired horse has chance to ride and is
very much rested. Also when the horse
attempts to run away you wind UP the
crank and he is lifted off the ground
perfectly helpless. Carson fNevj Ap-
peal.
