As has been said. no phase of New
Orleans life with it's many sides is more
difficult to know than this. In 1876,
when the visiting statesmen were here
trying to insure fair count, l remem-
ber to have spoken with a gentleman
from the north of this peculiar institu-
tion, and he told the others. They inn
mediately became very anxious to see
some of the place women. l should
have said before that about all the
amusements of this class are going to
church, the theatre, and twice in the
year to a grand ball, to which none but
they. their protectors. and a few of the
friends of the latter are invited. The
Custom House officials of New orleans,

fererd to, got up "quadroon ball
though not of the annual exclusive type
and the visiting statesmen We're out in
force, with strong contingent of the
newspaper correspondents from the
north, who We're sent down to us to find
out what was going on.
AS none of the visiting statesmen
spoke French. and but few of the ladies
knew any English much conversation
was impossible but there was good
deal of dancing. I noticed. for in
stance. the Hon. John Sherman going
through the lanciers with pretty wo-
man, nearly white, the place of we'll
known wholesale wine merchant: the
Hon. w. d. Kelley was trying to un-
derstand what was being said by the
petite place of leading French cotton
broker. and Garfield and Stanley Mat
thews were looking on wonderingly at
this phase of life, and trying to COM
prehend 1t all. The person who enjoy
ed the affair to the greatest degree was
Mr.. T.. V. Smalley. He knew a little
French. and used all he could muster.
TO the astonishment of the ladies'. who
had never before seen any Northern
men. or. indeed, very few of any sort,
for their male visitors are only the
doctor and the priest. and judging
from their observations to each other

especially amused or edited. This end
ed the "Quadroon Ball." of which the
press in the North had so much to say
at that time.
The place will probably end with this
generation. 1t is a relic of barbarism
that has outlved slavery. for certain
obvious reasons. 1t is so fast passing

ces of it in the past five years. One

Senator Brice wears out one eyeglass
string a day when he is in his seat He
has great fashion of taking off his
eyeglasses and twisting the end Of his
string around his finger, then he let's
the glasses swing out full length, to the
confusion of any passing senator, often
and with rotary motion sets the string
to winding around his finger. When
1t is wound up he proceeds to unwind 1t.
and that seems to be his sole amuse-
