The Creole State, now honored by
the selection OF its eminent citizen;
Edward Douglass White, to the su-
PFsme beach 81 the country, has
more than held iss own in the number
Of national characters whom it has
produced. Audubon whose bird
painting ELECTED praise from Cuvier;
Morphy, the chess master; Cots
chalk, our earliest composer;
Richardson, the foremost of Ameri-
can architects; Cable, the novelist
of New Orleans life; Beauregard, the
Confederate general, were all natives
Of Louisiana. Many of them were
born in New Orleans, and most of
the names show traces Of French de-
scent. Louisiana Law is not based
upon the common law Of England,
but on the code Napoleon, a modi6-
Ication of the old Roman system.
This fact. however, did not proven,

eral of the Confederacy, after life

familiar with the civil code, which
obtains not only in Louisiana, but
in many foreign countries with which
compilations may arise.
